Vote For 16, 18 and 21 J A very wise 6aying has been going the rounds in this part or Oregon lor many years: "You get Just what you vote fori", You do. ladies and gentlemen you do! . If you vote for good men for public office, you get good government. v . If you vote for poor men for public office, that is what you get poor government. In the final analysis, there is no one to blame Mr. Voter,' but yourself. THIS year, more than ever before, the people of ' this state are offered good men exceptionally o-ood men to represent them at Washington. In fact, never beiore in tne mstory 01 aoutnern Oregon has such a fine trio come forward able, honest, conscientious, energetic as now presented to the voters by Messers Cordon, Ellsworth and Morse, Thev belong to the same party, they form an ex ceptionally cooperative ana eiiective team we nave said it before, and we herewith say it again It would be a genuine political misfortune, if any ONE of them were defeated at this election. MOT a misfortune for them. Each and everyone ' could do far better for themselves financially if they retired from public office. But a misfortune for the people regardless of party and especially those living in this section of the state. . ' ,-. .t ...... a ' CO whatever else you do Mr. and Mrs.- Voter i . when you go into your booth next Tuesday and mark your ballot Mark it for Numbers 16, 18 and 21. Not because these men are Republicans not be cause this paper tells you to for that matter but simply and solely, because having that team to rep resent you in Washington during the post-war period of reconstruction, is to your own unquestioned SELF interest! ''' .. - .. Do You "Want" It? . Yes,' you get just what you vote for boys and girls! If you vote for four more years of the "New Deal administration" that is just what you will get. You will get 'our more years of regimentation and regulation and cogitation, and deliberation and experimentation. . Four more years of Madam Perkins; and "Donald Duck" Ickes and the ubiquitous Harry Hopkins, and the mouthings of the "Peppers and the Salts" and all the other table .thumping demagogues that 12 years of the New Deal have attracted Four more years of arousing class against class, poor against rich, rich against poor, the big against the little, the little against the big Four more years of bickering and badgering and Back .biting, among men who were not young, four years ago and will be definitely old very old four years hence, And every now and then, unless you turn off the radio, you will get r ' ; , : r : "My JJTie-e-e-ends 1" ..... ; A-gain and A-gain and A-G AIN ! I , .V .' The School Bill "To tho editor ' "I note your negative report on the school bill. No. 313, but couldn't make out Just why from the editorial. Is it or isn't it true that it this measure passes school taxes here, that is In school districts would be lowered and the quality of teachers and equipment Improved. And did that vote two years agg give income tax returns to the schools or to reduce property taxes. I am pretty much mixed up and everyone 1 have talked to is. "J. V. SPALDING. Nov. 2nd, 1944. "Phoenix, Oregon." We did not go into any detail regarding this meas ure (or ahy other) but we thought expressed clearly enough, that our chief opposition to voting this $13, 000,000 school fund, was due to the fact it is an amendment to the state constitution where no tax bill belongs and none should be placed. Another objection was the bill comes too soon aft er the measure passed two years ago which handed over approximately $5,000,000 of state income tax funds to the public schools. Why such a rushf That diversion of income tax funds in 1942 was ask ed for the purpose of reducing taxes for public schools and improving their quality. Has it done so? J. he schools of Jackson County received nearly $170,000 from the state income tax this year, and yet total school taxes were over $100,000 greater than the year before.' "1XE don't deny the increase was justified, probab "T. ly was, because of steadily rising costs; but cer tainly it does not justify any expectation that school taxes will be decreased, by this new measure. As far as that is concerned, where is the money for this new school fund to come from EXCEPT from taxes? Whether the bill is presented by the county, the school district, or the state, the tax payer will have to pay it In other words he can save no money in his total tax bill, if the total whatever the source may be, is increased. AE grant there is nothing dangerous or vicious " in this measure. Many devoted friends of the public schools strongly favor it. We don't. Nor do we favor any tax bill as an amendment to the constitution. We believe the supporters of the measure made a serious mistake to present such a measure so soon after 'the income tax offset bill was passed and to put it in our organic law where, if once voted, it will be so extremely difficult ever to get out. TAX MEASURES DISCUSSED BY WOMEN VOTERS Taxation measures which will be on the general election ballot next week came in for consider able discussion at the election school of the Jackson County League of Women Voters held last night at the Riverside USO, with the audience asking many questions concerning the retail sales tax, gross income tax and school tax fund measures. Arguments for and against the constitutional, amendment for a gross Income tax to pro vide annuities were presented by Otto Frohnmayer. Proponents declare the measure would In crease employment and stimu late business, Frohnmayer said, while opponents say it would in crease cost of all goods produced in Oregon, would put burden on families with low Incomes and would put industry at a competitive disadvantage. The amendment specifically cancels the proposed retail sales tax, he said. Many arguments were of fered from the floor. E. H. Hedrick spoke on the constitutional amendment in creasing state tax fund for pub. He school support pointing out that Oregon ranks at the bottom as compared to other states of the nation in state support of schools. Local school boards can only tax on real property to support schools, he said, while the state has many sources. He called attention to the increas ing shift of population to the west and said if the present in equalities in school taxation are not remedied local property holders could look for an in crease In taxes for school support. State Senator Earl, T. Newbry reviewed the retail sales bill, stating that estimates were it would, cost the average citizen but five cents, a day and would be collected on a wide variety of sources, some untouched by other taxes.. He said, the funds were earmarked for. old age assistance for the schools and for reduction of property taxes. Opponents declare sales taxes to be unfair, he said. Frank Van Dyke, ; legislator running for reelection, spoke on the measures which would aid returning veterans, one by loan ing money for purchase of homes and farms and the other provid' ing' funds for education. Van Dyke pointed out that the fed eral bill covering these : points was more or less of a duplica tion, providing much opposition to state passage, but that pro ponents believed they should be passed since they could do no harm and might aid veterans un able to qualify under the federal aids. The speaker thought pass age of both bills would make servicemen' from the- state feel that their interests were not be ing neglected. George Frey discussed the constitutional amendment to pro vide alternate means for secur ing bank depositors, stating that It was general supported by bankers, businessmen and many organizations and defeated . in past years only because its pur pose had been misunderstood by the genera public. ' The amendment authorizing change to managerial form of county government was discuss, ed by Mrs. Justin Smith, who said it was only permissive legis lation and Mrs. Leonard Carpen ter explained the constitutional amendment authorizing legisla tive regulation of voting privil ege forfeiture. Comment on the Burke bill was offered from the floor by Mr. Van Dyke, who said that Inclusion of the word "give" in the bill is a recognized legal phrase and did not mean the wine discussed in the bill could not be used In the home or at social .gatherings. Commissioner A. E. Powell presented arguments for the special levy to provide funds for improvement of the county hos pital, saying that the building was old and unsafe and facilities Inadequate to care for the pa tients there. He stated this small levy would be a burden on no one. Mrs. Richard Payne opened the meeting and Mrs. Justin, Smith presided as moderator. Flight o' Time Mtdford and Jackson Co.

The G.O.P. vice-presidential homlneee read again the letter which, he said, Albert A.

It is not enough, Brlcker said, for "Sidney Hillman and his po litical action committee" to "take over" the New Deal. It Is not enough, he added, for Hillman to form an "alliance with Earl Browder and the com munists" to "make up for the dwindling support of the New Deal." "Now, on top of all these reprehensible practices,' he said, the New Deal is resorting to downright political corruption of the most obvious sort in or der to get votes."
