A BRAIN-TEASER FOR OREGONIANS!
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

DO YOl R SPEEDING I PH1LL!
Nearly everyone who drives a car. at some time
or other, resorts to speed in excess of complete safety
and good judgment. 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.
Haste makes waste and a mess for the embalmer.
