Ballot Measures
Relief Shake-Up
More Candidates
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM, Or. Nine measures
will appear on the November bal
lot one as a result of a referend
um invoked against the old age
pension act of the 1935 session and
eight initiatives.
The legislative act on which the
voters will be asked to pass judg
ment would have reduced the age
minimum for old age pension re
cipients to 65 years. In addition it
sought to divert $1,000,000 of did
age pension money to other relief
needs. The referendum on this act
has already accomplished its pur
pose saving the legislative appro
priation for old age pensions and
enabling the state to cooperate
with the federal government and
receive the benefit of federal funds
for the assistance of the needy
aged.
Three of the initiated measures
are sponsored by the State Grange
with the State Federation of La
bor joining in the sponsorship of
two. One of these seeks to create
a state owned bank to act as de
pository for all funds of the state
and its numerous political subdi
visions and to do a general bank
ing business. Another seeks to put
the state in the power business
with an elective nonpartisan com
mission of three members author
ized to buy electric energy from
the federal government at Bonne
ville and transmit It to the point
of consumption either over feder
ally financed lines or lines to be
financed by the state. The third
of this group of measures Is a
proposed constitutional amend
ment authorizing the board of
control to administer the power act
until the three-member commis
sion can be elected.
The other five measures can be
briefly summarized as follows:
Proposed constitutional amend
ment to forbid any interference
with truthful advertising by any
business, vocation or profession.
Sponsored by S. T. Donohue of
Eugene.
Bill forbidding use of seines or
other fixed appliances in fishing
oh Columbia river. Sponsored by
E. A. Storvik and George H. A.
Roden of Astoria.
Noncompulsory Military training
bill aimed at military drill at state
university and college. Sponsored
by Oregon Committee for Peace
and Freedom.
Constitutional amendment au
thorizing Portland School District
to exceed six percent increase for
1937 levy. Sponsored by Portland
School Directors and affiliated
Council of Portland Teachers.
Constitutional amendment limit
ing tax levies against property for
1937 to levy for 1935 , with com
pulsory reduction of four percent
a year for next five years. Spon
sored by group of Marion county
tax payers.
Fifteen proposed measures fail
ed to qualify for a place on the
ballot The list includes three old
age pension measures; three fish-
ing measures, two measures strik
ing at the Knox liquor control
act four measures dealing with
the subject of taxation and licens
es and three others.
With the resignation of Judd
Greenman, chairman of the state
relief committee, and the appoint
ment of three new members to the
committee the controversy over
relief expenditures generated by
Governor Martin's "crack down"
on relief affairs seems, to be at an
end. Elmer Goudy, relief admin
istrator, who was believed to be
slated for the skids appears to have
successfully weathered another po
litical upheaval and will probably
retain his position. Hugh G. Ball,
Hood River newspaper man, has
succeeded Greenman as a member
of the state committee. David B.
Simpson, Portland real estate man,
and Mark Weatherford, Albany at
torney, were named to fill the va
cancies caused by the earlier resig
nations of E. R. Bryson of Eugene
and Miss Celia Gavin of The Dalles.
Present indications are that Ore
gon will collect more than $10,000,
000 in gasoline taxes during the cur
rent year. Collections for the first
five months of 1936 total $3,727,389
with the biggest motoring months
still to c0ne.
Two minor political parties will
have served notice on Secretary of
State Snell of their intention to en
ter the Oregon political arena.
The "Union" party of which Wil
liam Lemke of Minneapolis is the
national standard bearer, expects
to put a full state ticket into the
field. Peter Zimmerman of Yam
hill county, former state senator
and independent candidate for gov
ernor in 1934, heads the new par
ty's state central committee. Other
members of the committee are prac
tically unknown to Oregon politics.
They include G. W. Thiessen of
Milwaukie, J. Henry Jacobson of
Hillsboro, Frank C. Fluke of Bea
verton and Frank Saalfleld of Ger
vais. To qualify as a political par
ty in this state the sponsors must
file petitions containing at least 14,
670 names of registered voters with
the state department by September
18. .
Oregon Socialists have also an
nouncd their intention of getting
behind Norman Thomas, their
presidential candidate, in a big way
this fall. A state convention will
be held in Salem next Sunday to
nominate candidates for state and
federal offices on the Socialist
ticket
A committee from the state cap
ltol commission, accompanied by
competent engineers, will soon make
a tour of the state for the purpose
of inspecting deposits of marble,
granite and stone to determine the
availability of this material for use
in the new state house. Among de
posits to be visited will be a huge
marble deposit in Wallowa county
whose owners hove offered to give
the state, without cost except for
quarrying and freight all the mar
ble needed for the capitol. Depos
its in the vicinity of Baker and
Ashland and in Central Oregon will
also be inspected on the tour.
The state land board distributed
$324,563.75 among the counties this
week, representing the interest ac
cumulations for the past year on

loans from 'the irreducible school
fund. Allocated on the basis of 258,
244 children on the school census
rolls the amount represents $1.25
per capita. Multnomah county wita
78,031 children between the ages of
four and twenty years received the
lion's share of the fund, $97,538.75.
Marion county received the next
largest amount, $22,346.25. Alloca
tions to other counties were: Baker
$6420, Benton $6100, Clackamas $17,
773.75, Columbia $7,246.25, Coos $10,

Ninety-five percent of the veter
ans who were delinquent on their
bonus loans are "showing a splen
did spirit of cooperation" according
to Jerrold Owen, secretary to the
World War Veterans State Aid
commission. Only five percent of
the delinquent borrowers are not
showing any disposition to pay up.
In this latter category are "a few
individuals of prominence .in vet
eran and civic affairs who feel they
are persons of influence and that
the commission dares not take ac
tion against them." These individ
uals, Owen warns, have a surprise
in store for them in the form of
foreclosure suits to be filed the lat
ter part of this month.
A more adequate parole staff and
a more liberal parole policy rather
than more institutions is the an
swer to Oregon's penal problem in
the opinion of W. L. Gosslin, private
secretary to Governor Martin and
member of the state parole board.
Gosslin advocates the employment
of at least four field men to assist
the present parole officer. With this
added supervision, he declares,. a
more liberal parole policy would be
justified, thus reducing the peni
tentiary population and, incident
ally, the cost of maintaining that
institution.

Now you can do away with the hot job of summer
cooking yet never do without a hot meal. Incred
ible? It's true. Science now gives you a new miracle
of electricity "Absent Cooking".
You place your entire meal from meat to des
sertin a cold oven, set the time and temperature
controls, and leave the house if you wish. Return
just before dinner and your meal is ready. Even if
your electric range doesn't have a time control, its
temperature control will free you from all oven
watching while your meal is cooking.
Another astonishing fact is that kitchen tempera
ture is raised only about 1 during the cooking of
an entire meal. Electric cooking is cool cooking!
Visit any dealer's or our nearest office today and
see the wonderful new electric ranges on display.
Electric ranges are very reason
ably priced. And you may purchase
yours on convenient terms. The
operating cost is very reasonable,
too, with low-cost Pacific Power &
Light Company electricity.
r
GEE... its sivell to have
hot water all the time!
Plentiful hot water whenever you turn a
faucet, day or night, winter or summer, cer
tainly is a joy. And you can have it by in
stalling an automatic electric water heater.
Then you won't be dependent on range or
furnace coils. You won't have to heat up
your kitchen or your house every time you
need hot water for baths, laundering or any
other purpose. Ask about our attractive
water heating rate today.
