one referendum await the approval
of the Oregon electorate Novem
ber 3.
Ballot certifications for the meas
ures have been sent all county t lerks

court two hours before the deadline

to bar traps, seines and other fixed
fishing gear from the Columbia river,
on grounds that several thousand
signatures were void because they
were not rendered In the pr.'Rcncc
of petition circulators
One Referendum
The lone referendum, turned over
to the people by the 1935 special
legislative session, proposed to Amend
the 1835 old age aaslatance act by
reducing the eligible age from 70 to
ti: conforming It to the federal aoc
lal security act with "match m.ney,"
and diverting county and state levies
to other relief channels.
An Initiative seeks to repeul by
nstlututlonal amendment of all
nrol.lbltlon and regulation of idver-
tlslrur. so long a that advertising
i truthful. The measure Is an out
growth of the long battle over the
"advertising dentists" law which has
been fought through the leglsmture
and the supreme court.
Another proposes to amenj the
constitutional six percent tax .Imi
tation to authorize any school dis
trict of more than 100.000 popula
tion to levy taxes up to 80 percent
of the 1933 levy.

The antl - compulsory military
training measure, defeated by the
legislature, comes back to the people
In an Initiative, proposing thot no
student in any of the state's higher
educational institutions be required
to take or attend any course In mili
tary science, tactics or drill as a
requirement for a college degree
A constitutional amendment Is
sought to limit the total sta'- tax
on real and tangible personal ;irop
erty, payable In 1937 to six mills
on assessed valuation, and scaling
down to a 4.8 percent limitation by
1U42 and thereafter.
THo state power bill, sponsor?d by
the Oregon !tate grange, proposes
that the state and federal goiern
eaents build a state-wide system of
Iwtric power lines for distribution
of power at cost and replacing the
present hydro-electr! commission
with a three-man jommlsslort to
manage the project.
Coupled with the state power bill
Is the constitutional amendment that
temporarily placed the state board
of control governor, secretary of
state and state treaaurer In the
three chairs of the commission pro
postd In the power bill, to admln
Iste; Its provisions until anr.ther
bony is formed.
L;.test Item on the list Is the state
bank bill, creating the state-owned
end operated "Bank of Oregon. ' The
proposed Institution would carry on
a (.eneral banking business ana act
as exclusive state fiscal agent for
state, oountles, cities, districts, poli
tical subdivisions, receivers, trustees,
administrators, executor and off.ela.la.
The board of control, plua the attor
