The average Oregon voter .if he does not turn in better than merely an average performance this fall in the election, is going to stagger out of his voting booth a badly befuddled individual unless we miss our guess. For this fall, better than an average performance is going to be demanded of Mr. and Mrs. Average Voter. The array of measures, amendments and referen • dums on this fall’s ballot is going to call for plenty of study before election day rolls around. A mere list , I ing of them all is enough to show that. The measures: 1. Tw’o per cent transaction or gross receipts tax. 2. Stream purification measure. , 3. Bill defining labor disputes, regulating picket ing and boycotting. 4. Bill prohibiting use of seines and fishing gear in the Columbia. 5. Bill abolishing beer parlors, confining sale of beer to bottles in state stores, making state liquor commission liable for damage to property by intoxi cated persons. 6. Bill directing the Oregon legislature to ask con gress to call a national convention to propose an amendment to the U. S. constitution embodying prin ciples of the Townsend plan. The constitutional amendment: 1. Amendment to legalize and license certain “games or devices of skill, chance or amusement,” allocating 40 per cent of proceeds to city, county or town, 10 per cent county fairs, and balance to “old age security.” The referendums on ’37 legislation: 1. Referendum on senate bill No. 17. making slot machines a public nuisance subject to seizure and confiscation. 2. Referendum on house bill No. 159 prohibiting possession, display, operation or play of slot machines, pin ball games or similar devices or games. Referred by the 1937 legislature: 1. Constitutional amendment allowing governor 20 days instead of five days after adjournment of legis lature in which to veto measures. 2. Constitutional amendment fixing compensation of members of the legislature at $8 a day instead of $3 a day, extending length of regular sessions to 50 days instead of ¿0 days, and limiting special ses sions to 20 days. 3. Constitutional amendment repealing double lia bility of stockholders in banking corporations. 4. Legislative bill extending physical examination for marriage license to women, requiring physician’s certificate regarding alcoholism, epilepsy, feeble-mind edness. requiring blood tests. In addition to all this, there will be an election on In Every Detail of the Last Rites ... I Naturally it is your desire that a fine dignity and beauty characterize the services for your loved ones.

There is a way. however, to "open her up * and still not risk your neck like a chicken crossing the road in front of a covey of motorcycles Just do your speeding uphill. Simple as anything. Your brakes are much more efficient, top speed is under control, and visibility is good if the road is straight. Of course, those folks who feel the urge to thrust a throttle and are not conveniently near a hill are left flat. But just the same, they should never hurry too much lest they break considerably more than the basic speed laws. This writer, like other self-appointed admonishers, sometimes drives on the careless side of fifty and the suicidal side of 60. but using caution in handling your car still is good advice.
