"OREGON CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CLASS OF UNCONTROLLED TAX-SPENDING
POLITICAL BODIES, OPERATING TAX-EXEMPT PROPERTY IN A HAZARDOUS
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE. AT THE
RISK OF THE ALREADY BURDENED TAX­
PAYERS OF THE STATE.”
(Statement of 191 Oregon citizens in official Voters' Pamphlet)

District can be pieced together like
a crazy quilt, out of patches of
“territory, contiguous or otherwise,
in one or more counties.”
Districts can take over and "as­
sum e” defaulted bonds of insolvent
irrigation districts, and load these
debts on to other property.
Districts can “levy taxes upon the
taxable property of such districts,”
with no limit on the amount of
taxes that may be levied.
Districts can and must make up all
losses in higher taxes, in higher
water and electric rates, or both,
without check or limitation.

Districts can “issue, sell and assume
evidences of indebtedness," with nt
limit on the amount or kind of debts

autocratic powers, with all bars
