Day's News
BJ FRANK JENKINS.
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.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 36. (AP)
Declaring that "full recovery" from

not content with the present status;
I want conditions to improve. I pro
foundly believe t,Hey will improve
more rapidly under he continued
leadership of Mr. Hoover than if we

President Hoover, he said, "has
conceived a plan of restoration that

Statesmen of other partlea offered
either no plan at all, or presented
schemes of temporary character.
'I admire the broad concepts of
President Hoover." s continued. "I
admire a plan whlclt, while not neg

unemployed men want Jobs above

extends to all classes; that recog

Jobleas peopleia that they be restored
to their accustomed employments."
Of Roosevelt, Governor Meier said:
;4'He tells ua what we ought to have.
but does not tell us how we can

"As governor of Orgeon," Meier'
continued, "as one who has pride In

liott Roosevelt 22-year-old aon of
Franklin D. 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

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. "
