Sfyles from 993 to 1395 Black Calf Society Half-Size Fashion Many Attend Republican Luncheon About 140 women attended the September luncheon meet ing of Jackson County Republi can Women yesterday, over flowing the rooms, terrace and gardens of the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Littrell on Greenway circle. Because of the large num ber present, three groups were arranged and speakers repeated their talks before each. Substituting for Mrs. Frank Bash. Mr. Littrell spoke on Proposition No. 1 to be on the ballot for the general election. He urged his listeners to vote for this measure, which would enable the legislature to put an emergncy clause on tax bills. He pointed out that under the pres ent system, almost all tax legis lation is referred to the voters and this delays collection of money needed by the state. Only 20,000 signatures are required to refer a bill to the voters, the speaker added. Mr. Littrell said that essential ly this bill would "open the door" to revise the entire tax structure of Oregon, which has been needed for some time, and would permit legislators to broaden the tax base in the state. Many questions, many con cerning a sales tax, followed the talk. Mr. Littrell, who served in the House of Representatives the last session of the Oregon legis lature, is a candidate for re election. Mrs. M. A. Altobello spoke on "Why Vote Republican." Mrs. Altobello, a new precinct com mitteewoman for the Republi can party, said she had found while "ringing doorbells" that many citizens "don't know the issues." "If they learn about the issues, and think about them, they'll vote Republican," she added. Mrs. Altobello said the Demo cratic party "is too close to so calism" and that discussion of issues which had arisen as she went about her work as a pre c i n c t committcewoman had strengthened her belief that she was in the right party. The speaker closed by saying she found "a terrible apathy in my precinct" about the election and voting. Third speaker was Miss Jacque Colton who was a dele gate to Girls' State last Summer and who had been sponsored by the Republican women. She de scribed the operation of Girls' State and told how during a mock election the grils had de feated the sales tax, the vote for 18-year-olds and a "compli cated bill" which outlined re vised adoption procedures need ed in Oregon. Next meeting of the group will be Wednesday, October 17, and will be held in the Jackson hotel. Members Display Flowers, Herbs At Club Meeting Flower arrangements were displayed by Mrs. R. W.
