Ballot Recommendations During recent weeks, and months, we have . attempted to bring to our readers our opinions on the various measures and information about the men and women who are seeking office through your vote next Tuesday. We have covered the most controversial of the measures and the offices explaining our beliefs and giving some of the reasons why we are taking the stand we do. Time and space ran out on us though, before we could dig our way through the entire list, but the remaining ones we didn't get to are not of the highly controversial type. This week we are going to give our list or recommendations in the order that they will ap pear on the ballot. On issues or propositions we have not covered before we will give a brief state rnent of the reason for our choice. We know that there are many who will not think as we do on many of the selections and as Americans we can be mighty thankful that we still have the right to disagree. We have tried to pre sent the facts as we see them and whether or not your ideas are the same as ours, if our list below encourages you to take a greater inlerest in the important problems to be faced next Tuesday, and study the meaning of each one more carefully, our efforts will be well rewarded. To say that we have been impartial would be silly, for any time a per son makes up his mind on any question he ceases to be on the fence, but we have tried to study them all and base our judgment on facts as we under stood them. Our choice is here for all to see. Now it's up to each voter to make up his own mind. Here are our recommendations: For President and vice president Eisenhower and Nixon. For Representative in Congress, Second District John G. Jones. For Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry. Regardless of the recent smear campaign we believe he has handled the office in an efficient manner. For State Treasurer Sig Unander. For Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. For Representative, Twenty-second district J. V. Steiwer and Charles Allen Tom. For County Coroner Dr. A. D. McMurdo and Oliver Creswick both seek the position. There are no issues involved here and each voter should make his own choice. MEASURES Amendment Making Superintendent of Public Instruction Appointive 300 Yes. World War Veterans State Aid Sinking Fund Re peal Amendment 302 Yes. Act Authorizing Domiciliary State Hospital for Aged Mentally 111304 Yes. Amendment Legal Voters of Taxing Unit Estab lish Tax Base 300 Yes. Amendment to Augment Oregon War Veteran's Fund 308 Yes. Amendment Creating Legislative Assembly Emer gency Committee We do not believe it wise for the legislature to delegate its authority as it would do in this case. This measure is also tied in with the following bill and to us there seems to be disercpeneies between the two. 311 No. Amendment fixing Elective Terms of State Sena tors and Representatives Enactment of this measure could make possible what Is known as a "lame duck" session of the legislature. We doubt the wisdom in its passage. 313 No. Act Title Subject Amendment 314 Amendatory - Yes. Act Limiting Slate Property Tax We dislike re commending the limiting of the state's taxing power however if the ability to tax property is limited, the state will necessarily have to find other sources of revenue such as a sales tax or some other form, leaving the property tax to the cities and counties and schools. The property tax is the only revenue source these agencies of government have and if the state should be forced (through decrease in income tax returns) to levy on property, it could seriously hamper local government and schools .We suggest a 316 Yes vote Motor farrier Hirhwav Transportation Act This measure was passed by the legislature and re referred by the trucking industry, if the big trucks are to pay their fair share of highway construction and maintenance costs, this measure should pass. 318 Yes. School District Reorganization Act 320 Yes. Cigarette Stamp Tax Revenue Act 323 No. INITIATIVE MEASURES Establishing United States Standard Time in Oregon Everyone to his own belief on this one, though as we said previously, we doubt that the matter will be settled regardless of the outcome of the vote. Our personal liking for daylight time will give the measure our 325 No vote. Constitutional Amendment Prohibiting Lotteries, Bookmaking, Pari-Mutuel Betting on Animal Racing 327 No. Constitutional Amendment Authorizing Alcoholic Liquor Sale by Individual Glass 328 Yes, Constitutional Amendment Providing Equitable Taxing Method for Use of Highways This is the bill initiated by the big truck interests In an effort to prevent enactment of the mea sure proposed by the legislature (Measure 318 319) The title sounds good, but the meaning is entirely different. If this measure passes, Oregon's highway program would be serious ly hampered. We strongly recommend a 331 . No vote. Milk Production and Marketing Act We have discussed this measure several times during recent months. We do not believe that the strict controls of the present milk control laws are necessary or good for the dairy industry, or any other industry. The law of supply and demand should be allowed to work here too. We recommend 332 Yes. Con; titutional Legislative Senator and Represen tative Apportionment Enforcement Measure Even many residents of the Willamette valley are beginning to realize that this measure does not treat all sections of the state fairly. We recommend 335 No. COUNTY MEASURES A Measure Authorizing the County Court to Levy a 10 mill tax for a period of five years . . . . the said funds to be used to construct, im prove, maintain, replace and repair county roads This is NOT a new tax, it only con tinues for another five years the present 10 mill levy. If we want good county roads the measure should pass. We recommend 33G Yes. A measure authorizing the county court to levy and collect a live null tax . . . the said fund to be used to construct an addition to the county hospital of Morrow county The ad ditional bedrooms are badly needed .The tax Is small and will run for one year only. We recommend its passage by a 338 Yes vote. secretary; and Janet Wright, news reporter.

These Tillamook calves are from dams with at least a 350 pound butter fat record and add good high producing milk cows to our county. On the beef side of the picture we have some excellent dressing percentages on Morrow County steers sold at the P. I. Swift and Company have notified Deane and Rieta Graves, Heppner, who exhibited and sold fat Shorthorns at the P. I., that these steers dressed 65.8 and 66.0 carcass weight. The average for cattle is a 55 dress with prime cattle running 60 up. High quality steers to feed and a good job of feeding is necessary lor such a high dressing percentage. These steers were selected from the Graves' purebred Shorthorn herd. views. Both of the 17-year-old girl winners are enrolled at Oregon State college this fall.

Pari-Mutuel Racing Tax Dollars Help Build Better Fairs Here Are The Facts More than $6,781,000 in racing taxes have been put to work all over Oregon. County Fairs will receive over S3.2-10,000 The State Fair, Pacific Interna tional and eight other Fairs and Round-l'ps will benefit by $1, 669,146. ALL OF THIS WILL BE LOST or PROPERTY TAXES will have to be increased if the anti-pari mutuel bill passes in November. By end of 1952. VOTE 327 X NO in a Better State... 4-H and F. F. A. programs at every county fair of Oregon draw upon pari-mutuel racing tax revenue for the awards that stimulate wholesome competition. If pari-mutuel racing taxes are voted down, we must either weaken the 4-H and F. F. A. progiams at the fairs . . . OR pay the cost from increased property taxes.
