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

.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.

NEW DEAL DEVICES
Wilmington, Del., 'Nov. 3
(U.R)-GovT John W. Brlcker of
Ohio accused the New Deal to
day of restoring to "devices of
sordid desperation" in its ef
forts In powefor 18 years. -.
The G.O.P. vice-presidential
homlneee read again the letter
which, he said, Albert A. Horst
man, Ohio democratic national
committeeman, ' addressed . to
civil service employes In his
state, asking for financial sup
port of the democratic cam
paign. 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."
