IN THIS column yesterday, the advice I in given to study the 13 measures that will be on the Oregon ballot thle fall and vote your convictions. That advlca la here repeated. Prom time to time, however, this writer will analyse briefly these meas ures, telling of their purpose and ot tering recommendations as to voting en them. These recommendations will be ot tered merely as ft matter ot Interest, and with no desire to influence any one'a vote. Please regard them, If you read them at all, as merely the opin ions of one Individual. rIRST on the ballot will be an constitution r amendment to' the permitting the passage of laws limit ing to taxpayers tho right to vote upon question relating to the levying of apeclal taxea or the Issuing bonda. That la to say, ONLY TAXPAYERS would be permitted to vote upon questions involving the raising of money by taxation. THIS WRITER 'expects to vote AGAINST this amendment. At flret thought, It may seem fair enough that only taxpayers should vote upon questions involving taxa tion, on the principle that only those who are to provide the money should aay whether or not It should be spent. But we should not forgot that this is a democracy. It must stand or fall upon the intelligence of the maorlty of Its citizenship. Whatever progress we make toward Intelligent govern ment must be made by raising the AVERAGE level of Intelligence. We can't get very far by saying ' merely that certain citizens aren't fit to vote on certain questions. The Job of providing good government for democracy la a bigger one than that. BESIDES, It iaNOT TRUE that only those who own property or have incomea above the exempted mini mum pay taxes. EVERYBODY pays taxea. Taxation la a part of the cost of doing business, and la added to the price of every thing that we buy. It HAS to be. Those who don't get back their cost of doing business GO BROKE, and so go out of the picture. If we are to get anywhere In the direction of reducing taxation to rea sonable totals, we must understand fully, ALL of US, that EVERYBODY pays 'taxes, whether he Is on the tax rolls or not. That Is a much better way to se cure Intelligent consideration of tax measures than to SBy merely that only those who pay taxes may vote on tax measures. BESIDES, the Idea of limiting voting on tax measures to those who pay taxes doesn't work out' In practice as a tax reduction device. vntino r.n school taxes has long been limited to taxpayers, and every one who pays any attention at all to what is going on knows that school tsxes have increased more rapidly than other taxes. The only wtfy to reduce taxes la to make ALL THE PEOPLE realize that It la better not to spend too much I tax money. THE SECOND measure on the ballot Is a simple one. It is a constitu tional amendment whoso purpose Is to permit accused persons, other than y murderers, to give up their right of trial by Jury and consent to be tried by the Judge of the court alone. This can be done only with the consent of the trial judge, and the request to be tried by the. Judge in stead of by a Jury must be in writ ing. WHAT it meansls"thls: If you are accused of a crime, other than murder, and choose to be tried by the Judge alone, instead of by a Jury, you can so request, and If the trial Judge agrees your request will be granted. You must make the request your Kt. and your request must be in writing. It can't be merely by word of mouth, subject to misinterpreta tion. THIS writer ran sre no reason why that shouldn't be done, and ex pects to vote for the amendment.

President Hoover, he said, "has conceived a plan of restoration that la to be permanent In its ef'ect.

"I admire a plan whlclt, while not neg lecting the emergent need for atralght relief funds, recognizes Viat unemployed men want Jobs above charity; that construction of public works offera but temporary employ ment to a few classes when distress extends to all classes; that recog nizes that the supreme desire of our Jobleas peopleia that they be restored to their accustomed employments."

Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for president, delivered .his first address in behalf of his father's campaign here todey. In a 10-minute speech at a lunch eon of the League of Foreign Citleens for Roosevelt, he said: "President Hoover throughout his campaign for re-election has endeav ored to saddle the responsibility for this depression through which we are now struggling on t,ie shoulders of t Europe. Up until recently ,he hasn't even admitted that the depression has reached this country. By now he admits that maybe the infection has crept Into certain parts of this land. "Governor Roosevelt In a speech a few days ago conclusively proved that the depression in this country was not a result of foreign influ ences, but a direct result of certain policies carried on by the Repub lican administration of the past few years. "Give us a united government and it will point Vie way for the United States to lead the world back to pro-perlty. Elliott, the governors second son, is in the advertising business.

LINDY KIDNAPER SUSPECT HELD IN i SPAN1SHPRIS0N American Sailors Give Tip, That 'Jean Saul' Tafked, While Drunk Unfinished Letter Is important Clue! SEVILLE, Spain, Oct. 26. it At nie request oi me American vice consul, polk today detained a man who gave his name as Jean Saul, and arranged to send him to Madrid for questioning In connection with the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby. He was apprehended after the American consulate had received an anonymous note from two American sailors, whs said they had t5ked with Saul In a saloon here, and that "ie seemed to know entirely too much about the Lindbergh kidnap ing." The viee-eossul a&ked the poUce to investigate and It was discovered that Saul's Identification papers were In complete. Police also said he made contradictory statements about his nationality, then declined to answer further questions, declaring that he would tell nothing mor "until I can face the American police wherfc X can expect fairness." At th eomijlat-e It was Mid that Saul speaks English with a heavy ao cent and and It la suspected, there fore, that he is not an Ameriran. The name he gave the police, they pay. probably is an alfss. Detectives who questioned him said he had admitted that he knew some thing s&e&i the kidnaping and th distribution of the $50,000 ransom paid for the child' return. The American vice-consul attended the! preliminary Inquiry, but announced afterward that he hart withdrawn from the case and left It entirely In the hands of the police, although he will forward a complete jeport to the embassy at Madrid. This morning poSJca sah! they had found an unfinished letter among Saul 'a belongings. It read: "Dear BUI I'm afraid I'v talked too much, but I hops I haven't com promised myself. Yoti know how I am when I am drinking." Police said Saul told them that friends In the French copulate at New York had helped him to obtain a French passport which he burned when he entered Spain, so that friends would not be compromised. Tags on hia baggage showed that he had been in Genoa, Nice. Toulouse and Barcelona. Labels of New York clothing houses were on hla suits. Apparently the only money he had was 600 pesetas about M3.
