OUR VOTE ON THE MEASURES
An expression on thirteen measures, submitted by the
legislature, proposed by the people and referred to the peo
ple. will be on the November ballot for your vote. Some of
these measures have merit while others do not. We hereby
give you the benefit of our Judgment on the measures:
300-301—Taxpayers Voting Qualification Amendment.
The purpose of this measure is to limit to those who own
leal property the right to vote on special tax levies and
bonds. Our school district, cities, counties and state are
overloaded with bonded indebtedness voted on the tax
payers by many non-taxpayers. This we think an unfair
arrangement. Let those who must pay decide when and
how much. •
Vote 300 YES.
302-303—Authorizing Crimnal Trials without Juries.
This gives the accused the right to have his trial before the
Judge if he so desires. Whenever this is done there will be
much less expense.
Vote 302 YES.
304-306— Six Percent Limitation Amendment,
measure offers oportunity to relieve the taxpayer.
Vote 304 YES.
Hprlugflold
This
306-307—Oleomargarine Tax Bill. Places a tax of 10
cents per pound on the sale of Oleomargarine. This bfll
would materially help the dairy industry. What helps the
farmer ultimately helps us all.
Vote 30« YES.
308-309—A bill to Prohibit Commercial Fishing in the
Rogue River. A fish in a net is worth 40 cents, but one
caught on hook and line brings $10 into the state of Oregon.
This bill works a hardship on only a few itinerant fishermen
hut benefits the whole state.
Vote 308 YES.
310-311—Higher Education Appropriations bills. The
money called for in this bill is not now needed.
Vote 311 NO.
312-313— Bill to Repeal the State Prohibition Law.
While we believe in the modification of the Eighteenth
amendment, we do not want saloons or lawlessness. There
will be time enough to change the state prohibition law
after we see what the federal government does.
Vote 313 NO.
314-315—Freight Truck and Bus Bill. This bill to our
mind will be a hardship on the small sawmills and raise
freight rates hi general. Trucks and busses need regula
tion but it should be done by the legislature.
Vote 315 NO.
316-317—Bill Moving University. Normal and Law
Schools. Establishes Junior Colleges. This bill would wreck
the state higher educational system and entail great ex
pense to the state. It would also ruin property values in
Lane county.
Vote 317 NO.
318-319—Tax and Debt Control Constitutional Amend
ment.
320-321—Tax supervision and Conservation Bill. These
two are twin measures and while they are undemocratic
and might be used to work a hardship on local tax bodies,
they are also capable of doing much good In the way of
stopping excessive governmental expense.
Vote 318 and 320 YES.
322-323— Personal Income Tax Amendment. This bill
raises the rates on net personal incomes in excess of $6,000
from 6 to 8 per cent. It likely will relieve some of the
burden on property taxes In years to come if passed.
VOTE 322 YES.
324-326— Water Power Amendment. Places in the
hands of three men power to bond the state for $60,000,000.
We are struggling now under great bonded indebtedness
which makes our taxes twice as high as they would other
wise be.
Vote 326 NO.

THERE IS NO MAGIC
If we knew a magic formula which would change
everything over night and put the people of the United
States back where we were in the beginning of 1929, we
are not sure that we should use It. We doubt whether it
would be either wise or kind to confirm the belief, which
apparently prevails among many folk who ought to know
better, that politicians possess some sort of magicians
wand, the waving of which would restore prosperity, put
up the price of farm products, start every factory off on full
production, pay off every debtor’s debts and send the prices
of stocks up to new highs.
Looking back, we are not at all sure that the orgy of
reckless spending which came to an abrupt end three years
ago was a good thing either for the nation as a whole or
for the individuals who took part in it. It was, for many,
too close to get something for nothing; and those who did
not get unheard-of returns for their contributions in labor
or commodities were beginning to be Infected with the idea
that they, too, were entitled to more than they paid for.
We do not believe that any sound and permanent pros
perity can be built on any basts but the old-fashioned recipe
of hard work and thrift. We have no confidence that there
Is anything politicians can do, whatever their party labels,
that will take the place of economy and Industry, render
work unnecessary or put money into one pocket without
taking it out of another.
All that politics and government can do is undertake,
so far as selfish and self-seeking human nature will permit,
to smooth out the inequalities and cure the defects in our
economic structure which have grown up out of custom
and ignorance, and which tend to put too heavy a burden
upon some and too light a responsibility on others.

CONSISTENCY OR POLITICS?
Eugene’s organized labor refused to endorse Judge C.
P. Barnard for re-election because he cut the wages of
county road workers to relieve the taxpayers. Labor en
dorsed Fred Fisk whose platform Is to stop all road work.
Can it be that organized labor is in favor of no work at all
rather than unemployment relief work on a reduced wage
rate? If so, then does this position represent all labor? If
It does the taxpayers, who are footing the bills, should know
it at once and the county government should act accord
ingly.
