In Our Opinion. . . .
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.

The club was the first to com
plete the past club year's projects,
turning in complete 4-H recorfl
books. It is a 100 club, all
members having completed the
projects in which they were en
rolled.
4-H Club members Micky Van
Schoiack, Mike Gray, Patricia
Peck and Marjorie Peck, this week
ordered dairy heifer calves from
the Tillamook Dairy Herd Im
provement Association. These will
be raised as club projects, some
of the heifers to be offered for
sale to Morrow County farmers at
the 1953 4-H Auction sale.
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.

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.

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

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.
