Vote 317 X No!
Voters' of Oregon are confronted with the ne
cessity of making decisions on several initiative
and referendum measures next Tuesday and one
of them, "Making Sale of Promotively Advertised
Alcoholic Beverages Unlawful," is creating no
small amount of doubt as to the real objective in
the minds of the sponsors.
Newspaper editors, as well as all other adver
tising media publishers mentioned in the bill, are
somewhat exercised over the attack against ad
vertising as an educational force as well as a
source of much needed revenue. There is, in that
respect, a principle involved which all who de
pend on advertising as a source of income feel
obliged to defend.
Following the exit of prohibition from the stat
utes, Oregon adopted the Knox liquor control bill
which has become recognized as one of the best'
laws yet devised for handling the liquor problem
on a state level. The liquor control commission
is vested with the authority to delete certain mat.
ter in liquor advertising that in the commission's
judgment are contrary to the spirit of the Knox
law. This usually means that the ads are not
published in Oregon. So far, so good. Do the
people of the state of Oregon have the right to
dictate to the people of the remaining 47 states
what they shall read in their advertisements?
That, in effect, is what the initiative bill will be
attempting it it carries.
What is to prevent some crank from starting
a movement to ban certain foods, or ojothing, or
automobiles anything, in fact, that a crank may
think up from being advertised on a "promotive"
basis? Sounds silly, but many silly things de
velop into trends if given enough support.
The initiative measure looks like an awkward
attempt of the temperance forces to bring about
the return of prohibition. If passed it will only
bring back the headaches attendant upon at
tempted enforcement of dry laws and will not
keep people from acquiring liquor. People living
near the state's borders will not only acquire their
favorite brands of liquor but more than likely will
hav eto get their favorite magazines and period
icals from neighboring states.
The best way to avert a lot of local upheavals
in this time of world crises is to mark your ballot
317 X No.
The Movement Grows
Through the enterprise of the Soroptimist Club
of Heppner, Hallowe'en depredations have all but
vanished from Heppner. Through sponsorship of
the club, not only parents and friends have joined

in to make the annual event possible but the
young people for whom the party is given have
joined in with a zest that makes affairs of that
nature tick.
That the Hallowe'en party is established is
seen in the increase in attendance. The first year
found less than 100 in attendance, last year the
number grew to 125 and this year it was 250.
Started primarily to give young people of the jun
ior and senior high school ages something to do
rather than get into mischief in town, the party
has served to attract recent high school graduates
and others of that age group.
Since business houses benefit largely by the
absence of Hallowe'en depredations it would be a
nice gesture for them to underwrite the expenses,
or at least make up any deficit the Soroptimist
club may incur.
Support The "Balanced Plan"
The bill for reapportionment of the state legis
lature is the first attempt since 1931 to effect a
change in our legislative set-up. Since that time
Oregon has experienced a heavy increase in popu
lation. If the measure is defeated, and it will be
unless solid majorities are rolled up in the lighter
populated counties, the opportunity for equitable
distribution of legislative power will be lost.
Opponents of the measure have been using
tactics that serve only to confuse the voters, but
the four basic points of the "Balanced Plan"
should be kept in mind when we go to the polls
next Tuesday. These points are, (1) Limits any
county to one-fourth of the legislature. (2) Gives
the voter in every county a representative to call
his own. (3) Requires a senator to represent no
more than three counties. (4) Provides for regu
lar and fair apportionment.
Don't be misled. Vote 314 X Yes.
Morrow county voters have every reason to
express confidence in the two representatives from
the 22nd legislative district. In Henry Peterson
and Giles French we have two men who not only
work for the best interests of their district but
who work and vote for those things which they be.
lieve to be to the best interests of the state at
large. It requires courage and the strength of
one's convictions to stand up against class priv
ilege propaganda but our representatives have
proved to their own satisfaction and to the satis
faction of many of their constituents that they are
following the right course. If you approve of this
type of legislation, give both men the best compli
ment you can offer them by casting your ballot
in their favor.

Hallowe'en Party
In Mountains Attracts
250 Young. People
With no thanks to the weather
man a record crowd attended the
nnual Halowe'en party for the
7th and 8th graders and the high
schoolers, sponsored by the Soro
ptimist club of Heppner. At the
beginning of festivities 250 ener
getic youngsters were loaded in
to the hay filled trucks and were
whisked away to the Winches
ters' lower cabin. Jack o' lanterns
glowed in the mountain dark
ness, two large bonfires provided
light and the necessary means
for roasting the traditional hot
dogs and marshmallows. The en.
tire group enjoyed singing led by
Irene Wilson and Don Heliker
accompaied by Harold Becket.
A drawing was held and Jean
Privett walked away with the
prize. The merriment was over
shadowed by a sprinkle of rain
but despite the crispness in the
air, a good time was had by all.
Those furnishing trucks were

The oAmerican Way
POWER OF
This column is addressed to the
nearly 50 pecent of eligible Am
erican voters who, on election af
ter election., fail to make the
short journey to the polls to do
their American duty. If you have
been a regular voter and if you
have planned to vote on Novem
ber 7, don't waste your time by
reading any further.
And now with all dutiful citi
zens turned elsewhere in this
newspaper, let me address the
slackers:
Upon you depends the preser
vation of representative govern
ment and our Capitalistic Sys
tem. The trend which started
several years. ago with fewer and
fewer people voting on Election
Day, is alarming. Representative
government can be perpetuated
and individual freedom and re
sponsibility preserved only when
the majority of the people speak.
In the Presidential election of
1948, less than half of the eligible
voters in the United States went
to the polls.
If you and the others who have
shunned the polling booths do
not soon begin to exercise your
right to vote, the rule of the ma
jority will become the rule of the
few. This not only applies in our
national government but is
equally true in our states and
municipalities.
Just take a look around the
world and see what has happen
ed in other countries where the
citizen became careless of his re
sponsibilities. What would those
poor people not give now to have
restored to them the things which
they so carelessly threw away?
If you do not wish a similar sad
fate to overtake America, then
vote on the 7th of November and
every election thereafter.
But, do I hear you say, "What
good will my one little vote do?"
That vote of yours is not a little
vote, it is a powerful one. The
value of one vote has many times

VERNON BULL is a member
of pioneer family, prominent
throughout Eastern Oregon for
many yean,
He was reared on a farm and
with Mrs. Bull homesteaded their
own 518 acre ranch in Union
County. He Is now a railroad
man by profession.
For 14 YEARS VERNON BULL has
represented his own county in the Ore
gon legislature. After having been
elected six times by his neighbors in
Union County, he was promoted in
1948 to the State Senate by the voters
of Union and Wallowa counties by a
large majority over the strong Repub
lican incumbent.
The farmers and townfolks of his
home communities, where he is known
best, have learned that VERNON
BULL delivers for his people.
VERNON BULL is an even-tem
pered, unpretentious man. His dogged
determination and deep conviction
have made him a successful fighter
for the right.
VERNON BULL 'wears well.' His
repeated re-election by the people
who know him best is the finest
recommendation he has to be elected
to Congress.

ONE VOTE
proven to mean the election or
defeat of a particular candidate;
has meant the passing or defeat
of an important piece of legisla.
tion. For example:
Thomas Jefferson was elected
President of the United States by
one vote in the Electoral College.
John Quincy Adams got to be
Chief Executive because of one
vote.
Rutherford B. Hayes made the
White House by one vote. His
election was contested and refer
red to an Electoral Commission.
Again his margin of victory was
just one vote.
The States of California, Idaho,
Oregon, Texas and Washington
were taken into the Union by vir.
tue of a single vote.
Yes, indeed, your vote is im
portant. Remember:
Bad officials are elected by the
good citizens who do not take
the trouble to vote; that voting is
your assurance of freedom; that
your very future depends upon
your vote on Election Day.
And please don't trot out that
old bromide to the effect that you
don't know the candidates and
the issues; that, anyway, all poli
ticians are the same no matter
what political tags they wear.
There is a difference between
candidates. You can get to know
them and you can study the is
sues. Hopefully, of course, I'm as
suming that you have eyes and
ears that you can see and hear.
Then put those organs to work.
Attend political meetings, not
just Democratic meetings or Re.
publican meetings, but both. Give
all the candidates a radio audi
tion you'll find them cluttering
up the air waves. Then use the
good judgment with which Al
mighty God has endowed you to
select your candidates.
And whatever your choice, do
your job exercise the power of
that one ballot vote on Nov. 7.
