Lethargy Could Do It
Tho brtting is strongly in favor of the Dewey
Warrrn toam as apainst the Truman Barkloy com
bination with the takers not too plentiful. It is
the belief of a majority of those who express
themselves on the subject that the Republican
leaders will be swept into office by a large ma
jority on November 2. The poll takers have the
evidence to prove that this will be the result of the
election and there is little sentiment about the
country contrary to their predictions.
In addition to the poll takers, better than sev
enty per cent of the newspapers of the land are
supporting the Republican ticket Many of these
publications are commonly counted in the Demo
cratic fold but have concluded that a' change in
administration will mean a healthier political
state. This condition has caused the newspapers
to be classed with the 80th Congress but like the
Congress the publishers are not perturbed over the
campaign utterances of the chief executive, as
they expect lo carry on without him from here on
out.
All of these factors seem to point to success
for the team of popular governors, but there is
one thing that could easily spell defeat for them.
That is the lack of Interest of the voters on the
day of election the day that really counts. Being
a Dewey-Warren suponer prior to the election and
failing to go to the polls and register that support
in a concrete way could cost them the election.
The work to be done between now and November 2
is that of getting out the vote. If a heavy vote
is registered there is no doubt about the results.
On the other hand, a light vote could easily keep
the remnants of the new deal in power.
What Levy for State Deficit Is For
With eleven measures on the ballot for the
voter to consider there will be more or less con
fusion regarding the merits of each and it will
require study to formulate opinions calculated to
cause one to mark a cross in the right place. As
to one of the measures, the levy for state deficit,
we feel fortunate in being able to present the
views of one Oregon editor who is well versed in
legislative matters there are others but their
opinions have not reached our desk and it is
with pleasure that we pass on discussion of the
measure by Walter W. R. May, editor of the Ore
gon City Enterprise:
Among measures on the ballot November 2
there is one (320-Yes or 321 -No) which is on the
ballot to conform with the instructions of the 1947
legislature and, of necessity, submitted to the
NATIONAL CDITORI Al

voters as a result of the recent Supreme Court
decision. It provides for a levy of $6,430,0(59 to be
made by the state but w hich will not be collected.
The money will be taken from the income tax
surplus to meet the state deficit for the 1947-49
period.
The levy is necessary under the 6 limitation
of the Oregon system, but it will be a mythical
levy. The voters, however, must approve the levy
as it is the only means by which the money may
be taken from the income tax gurplus.
It is hardly proper to say the levy is "mythical"
for it will be a regular levy, but it will not be
collected. Voters' approval of the measure means
the money will be taken from the income tax sur
plus and used to take care of the increased cost of
the state government increased wages and sal
aries, operating costs of state institutions, etc.
The levy also becomes necessary because the
sales tax failed. The legislature had several op
tions of balancing the budget. There was some
question whether it could transfer from the in-

brought by former Governor Charles A. Sprague
to determine what could and could not be done
in transferring funds resulted in a majority opin
ion that these funds under the present law could
not be used except to reduce property taxes.
Consequently to place the state's financial
house in order, and at no additional cost to tax
payers the measure is on the ballot and should
have the voters' approval. The measure is the only
immediately available method of balancing the
budget and this is all clearly set forth by the
committee of the Legislature which makes the
affirmative argument iu the Voters Pamphlet.

Once in a blue moon the stylists and engineers outdo themselves. They create a car that
goes beyond today and sets the pattern for cars of the future.
This is what they have done with the FRAZER for 1949!
Low, sleek and differently handsome it it the trailblazer in style of cars to come.
Its exclusive colors and fabrics have made the world's leading fashion
designers fall in love with it. They call it "the dream car".
The same car, the FRAZER for 1949, has even won the hard-to-win hearts of
the test drivers who must relentlessly punish a car mile after mile for weeks
on end. They say the Frazer makes such driving no punishment for them. Its
driving ease and riding comfort "make 600 miles a day a breeze," they say.
There's a thrill waiting for you at your dealer's today. With 100 new
features, improvements and refinements, the 1949 FRAZER is ahead of
its time . . . out front trailblazing the way for all the cars to come.
First to break clean and scrap tradition, the cars from Willow Run
have done it again. Because unlike other "new" cars built since
the war, they've road-proved their dependability 2 billion
miles worth! Value-proved to a quarter-million justly proud
owners. See and drive the new FRAZER now lift at your

NEW LOOK IN POTATO
COOKERY
You, too, can send potatoes to
the table with the "new look"
chuck full of vitamins and min
erals. Try serving potatoes with
good whole skins on.
When potatoes are peeled,
skinned, boiled and the water
thrown down the drain, they lose
all that vitamin C and thiamine
they originally had. Peeling after
cooking is a quick test. Mashec
potatoes prepared from potatoes
boiled with skins on, retain most
of their originnal nutritive value.
If you plan to hold cooked po
tatoes over in the refrigerator
keep their jackets on to retain
vitamin C which is so sensitive
to air, heat and water.

florists can bring these plants
into flower at any season they
wish.
Normally, Mums form buds in
the fall after days get shorter.
They will not flower during short
nights. So now, florists can delay
budding by turning on lights for
a few hours at night and then
any time they want flowers, just
lengthen the "nights" by cover

5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
