None of these men. it should be noted, would serve merely a lieutenant for Al iJimh and his Farmers Union rlioue. Lamb ha obtained far too much control over the citizens of thl county, and his bid for con trol ol the county court should le turned down by the voters who want and appreciate falrnes and imartla service In government. For thl reason it 1 Imtx-ratlve that Judge vteron and I'ommla aloner Walter Hayes be returned to office. Both will nerve dili gent I v without regard to narrow considerations of geography or politics. Just as they have in the past. Their continued service is far superior lo the part time par tisanship of AI I-amb and his Farmers Union clique. Don Turner Money receipt books In dupll cate and triplicate are on sale at Ihe Gazette-Times. To the Editor: A letter to the editor In your Issue of October 1. 1961. from Mr. T. L. Scanlon, Oregon AFL CIO. made some amusing state ments about Ballot Measure No. 3. the Insurance Monopoly bill, which his union is sponsoring. lie attempted to refute a state ment In a Htory quoting me In your September 3 Issue. The story said. "Tills grossly unfair measure would destroy the right of employers to shop In a com petitive market for the best cov erage available and increase farm labor costs by about 12.5 per cent." Mr. Canlon did not attempt to refute the fact that this fmensurK would rlestrnv ihe rlchts of employers to shop for the best coverage. All he talked about was the cost. He stated that other states that require farmers to insure their workers against Job Injuries have rates of about $o-00 per $100 or payroll compared to Ihe State Industrial Accident Commission's rate, which is double that amount What Mr. Scunlon did not tell your readers was that three states have a competitive system which keeps cost down rather than a monop oly system which his union favors. Mr. Scanlon also uses the J1 jMjf)0 DOtl'TlVAIT TOO LATE 711 ITS Before the little woman gets on your neck about the houae being cold and drafty... before you're up to your neck in an aw... fix yourself some low-cost atorm window out of Warps Flcx-O-Glam and get 'era up.

Heppner, Ore.) ft 1 m The Compulsory Insurance Monopoly Sill (State Measure 3) Will NOT Do riliai Its Promoters Claim! Compulsory Monopoly Job-Injury Insurance Would HURTEmployees-Consumers-Employers-YOU! Vicious measure No. 3 would COMPEL ALL EM PLOYERS to buy job injury insurance from the state and only from the state. Injured employees would be COMPELLED to look only to the state for help and medical care payments. Competition and Free dom of Choice will be destroyed! HERE'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF VOTERS LET IT PASS! 1. THOUSANDS OF WORKERS WOULD LOSE BENEFITS THEY NOW HAVE. Many employers fur nish better insurance programs than the state of fers. These would be destroyed. 2. THOUSANDS WOULD PAY FOR INSURANCE THEY NOW GET FREE. Many employers pay for job injury insurance for their workers. Under the mon opoly, workers would be forced to pay part of the premium cost. 3. PERSONAL AND SPECIALIZED MEDICAL ATTENTION WOULD BE CUT DOWN. If employers re forced to insure with the state, 600,000 workers will become impersonal numbers in a state bureauc racy. State workers are already over burdened. It will be impossible for the state to give insured workers personal or specialized attention under the huge monopoly. 4. THERE WILL BE A SLOW-DOWN IN CLAIM PAYMENTS. Competitive insurance pays claims in an average of two weeks from date of an accident. In Washington, where a partial monopoly exists, it takes 86 days to pay a claim! Imagine an Injured worker's family being forced to wait almost 3 months for a check! WOULD YOU WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOUR FAMILY? STATE MEASURE NO. 3 IS A PIG-IN-A-POKE THAT WILL FAIL TO LIVE UP TO ITS PROMISES!
