Interesting Election Coming
Voters will be faced again with a long
ballot at the general election this November.
Under Oregon's system, where the voters re
tain the right to pass on almost any act of the
legislature, and to initiate laws not passed by the
legislature, it is inevitable that there will be long
ballots.'
While this imposes a chore on voters, to in
form themselves on the issues so they can decide
intelligently, it is, we believe, a good thing, for it
makes voters feel as though they are actually
playing a role in government, which, of course,
they are.
JN ADDITION to the measures which already
are referred to a vote by the legislature,, there
is still time for initiatives to be proposed, and sev
eral may be before the deadline in August. -
Also, there will be a number of officials to
elect, on the national, state and local level. These
include the four congressmen, and governor, sup
erintendent of public instruction, labor commis-
31U11CI LVVJ owpicme tuuu jusuces, uii uie
state level. In the county, the positions of one
county commissioner, the county clerk, sheriff,
coroner, 'two circuit judges, district judge, two
state representatives and state senator will be
at stake.
'Jf'HE measures which are already assured of a
place on the ballot total 12. They range from
a measure which has to do with minor alterations
of the boundary between Oregon and Washing
ton, to abolishment of the
They will be debated
and November, but for
them some preliminary
ballot titles as prepared
of the secretary of state's office :
Fixing State Boundaries
Purpose: Repeals obsolete constitutional provision
' describing state boundaries. Authorizes modifying of
existing state boundaries by interstate agreement with
approval of congress.
Temporary Appointment
Judges
Purpose: To authorize the Supreme Court to ap
point temporary judges to the Supreme Court and
lower courts, and to assign lower court judges to
serve temporarily outside of the district for which
they were elected.
Increasing Funds for War Veterans' Loans
Purpose: To increase from 4 per cent to 6 per cent
of the assessed valuation of all the property in the
state as the maximum limitation on the amount of
state bonds that may be issued to raise funds to make
farm and home loans to World War II and Korean
War veterans.
Special Grand Jury Bill ,
Purpose: To authorize the legislature to enact laws
permitting the calling of a special grand jury.
Capital Punishment Bill
Purpose: To eliminate the "death penalty for first
degree murder.
Salaries of State Legislators
Purpose: To amend Oregon constitution by increas
ing salaries of state legislators from $600 to $1,200
per year.
Authorizes Discontinuing
losis Hospitals
Purpose: To permit the board of control to dis
- continue using the Eastern Oregon and University
State Tuberculosis Hospitals, in whole or in part.
Board could designate the use for any other state
institution or agency.
County Home Rule Amendment
Purpose: 'Authorizes the voters in any county to
adopt charter to provide for the exercise of authority
over matters of county concern. Initiative and refer
"endum powers also are reserved to the legal voters
of counties adopting a charter.
Authorizing Different Use of State Institution
Purpose: Authorizes the legislature to alter, re
duce, enlarge or terminate the use or purpose of any
state institution located outside Marion county any
time after 10 years from the date of the election which
located the institution.
State Power Development
Purpose: Empowers the state to acquire and de
velop water, thermal and nuclear power generating
facilities. State may develop electrical energy for
transmission and sale on wholesale basis or directly to
industries using 10,000 kilowatts or more.
Modifying County Debt Limitation
Purpose: Authorizes legislature to fix maximum
limitation on county bonded indebtedness incurred in
carrying out purposes prescribed by law.
Financing Urban Redevelopment Projects
Purpose: Makes possible for property taxes levied
against property included in an urban redevelopment
or renewal project to be divided so tftat taxes levied
against any increase in value of such property shall
be used to pay any indebtedness incurred in carrying
out the project.
AS CAN be seen, some of these proposals are
minor in nature just "housekeeping" bills
without controversial aspects. Others, of course,
will draw fights.
The four on which attention is apt to center
will be the Capital Punishment Bill (for both
sides are articulate and convinced of the light
ness of their position) ; the legislators' salary
measure (which, in one f orm or another is a hardy
perennial Oregon traditionally has been nig
gardly with its lawmakers) ; the county home rule
amendment (bound to be fought by many county
office-holders who have a stake in the existing,
outmoded system) ; and the state power develop
ment bill, which brings to the fore the old public
vs. private power controversy.

Showdown Hearing
For German Funds
By K. C. THALER
United Press Correspondent
London (IP) Britain ap
pears headed for a showdown
with West Germany over her
demand that the Bonn govern
ment underwrite part of the
maintenance costs for the
Army of the Rhine.
A German compromise of
fer to deposit 100 . million
pounds sterling ($280 mililon)
in London for future arms
purchases, instead of outright
support cost payment was
termed unacceptable by au
thoritative government quar
ters.
The government summoned
its ambassador in Bonn, Sir
Christopher Steel, for urgent
consultations.
The quarrel threatened
seriously to disturb the har
mony in the North Atlantic
Alliance which has been
called upou io deal with the
emergency.

What Did Christ Mean?
To the Editor: I did not
hear the Ministerial Associa
tion's discussion on titheing.
I did read Mr. Howell's letter
with interest, and agree with
him when he says, by impli
cation, the law of titheing as
set forth in the 18th chapter
of Numbers, also the Jewish
Sabbaths as set forth in the
23rd chapter of Leviticus,
these are a part of the law of
Moses which was written in
a book Joshua 1:7,8; 23:6
They were until, John, "since
that time the Kingdom of God
is preached," Luke 16:16. That
titheing system, those Jewish
Sabbaths, meat offerings
burnt offerings, sin offerings,
were all a part of the Law of
Moses, which pointed forward
to the Lamb of God, John
1:29. When Christ come and
"offered up Himself," "By
His own blood," "He appear
ed to put away sin," Heb
7:27; 9:12,26. By so doing, He
fulfilled all that the prophets
had spoken, and all that the
law of Moses, required, blot
ting it out, nailing it to the
cross, Col. 2:14.
Yes, Mr. Howell, I have
timed lor many years, I re
fuse to rob God, Malachi 3:7-
12. Here's why, The Levitical
Priesthood was established
soon after the Exodus of the
Israelites from Egypt. Abra
ham, some 400 years before
that time, paid tithe to Mel
chizedek the Priest of the
most High God, Gen. 14:18-20.
The Levitical Priesthood end
ed at the cross, Heb. 7:12, but
as Christians we are under
the Melchizedek Priesthood
as it was restored in Christ.
Of Him it was prophesied,
"The Lord hath sworn, and
will not repent, thou art a
Priest forever after the order
of Melchizedek," Psalm 110:4.
Zech. 6:13. The fulfillment of
this prophecy in Christ is
confirmed in the New Testa
ment Heb. 5:6; 6:20; 7:17,20.
What is more natural than for
Christians, who are the Spir
itual children of Abraham
(Gal. 3:29) to recognize God's
claim to the tithe in recogni
tion of the blessings He gives
to them under the gospel? If
they will do this, Christ will
bless them as Melchizedek
blessed Abraham, Gen. 14:19.
I will give the Bible answer
free, to any question asked
by mail. If you have a ques
tion, mail it to me, Bible an
swers is my hobby.

port costs of Ihe British forces
stationed on the latter's ter
ritory.
The amount sought by
Britain from Germans is in
the neighborhood of 50 mil
lion pounds sterling ($140
million) this year.
Failing this Britain intends
to withdraw more forces from
Germany, at least another
5,000, in addition to 8,500
whose withdrawal this year
was sanctioned by the seven
member West European Union
Council last week.
NATO planners were se
riously worried about this
prospect, because of the ad
verse effect it would have on
other members of the alliance
with forces in Europe and be
cause it would further weak
en NATO's thinned-out de
fense shield along the trip
wire . of the Iron Curtain
borders.
Determined Not To Pay
Latest Bonn reports stated
that Germany was determined
not pay outright support costs,
The latest compromise offer
was instead for an interest-
free 100 million pounds ster
ling deposit in Britain as an
advance payment for future
arms purchases.
While withholding formal
official comment government
quarters let it be clearly
understood the offer is not
acceptable.
The British line of argu
ment is that the maintenance
of forces in Germany throws
a burden on the budget as
well as on the balance of pay
ments and the foreign cur
rency position. Neither would
be lessened by the German
compromise offer, the sources
said.
They said a German de
posit would temporarily ease
the foreign currency strain,
but the money would in effect
be earmarked for normal
commercial transactions with
the firms who make the arms

sure at home for economies
and for cutting down defense
commitments: there have been
strong demands for cuts in

The important Times of
London warned editorially
that the interests of the al
liance as a whole are affect
ed by the dispute and called
on NATO to find urgently a
way of meeting rsriiam s
claim for financial help.
"The situation is now be
coming serious, tor mere are

In a speech delivered at

Secretary Dag Hammarksjold
offers some observations on
publicity that are worth seri
ous consideration here in the
United States of America. -
He warned his hearers that
TOO MUCH PUBLICITY
may hamper international ne
gotiations. Mass media, he
said, (meaning all the news
papers, all the radios, all the
TVs, etc.) can be MISUSED
under certain circumstances
for harmful propaganda.
He added:
"The best results of nego
tiation can not be achieved in
the full glare of publicity."
"E'OR example:
Suppose you were consid
ering selling your business if
you could get an attractive
offer. Suppose that at every
negotiating session with pros
pective buyers you called in
all the reporter s thus,
among other things, tipping
off all your competitors to ev
erything you were doing.
What would happen?
The chances are you
wouldn't make a deal.
THE people's business, as
well as private business,
needs to be transacted WISE

on negotiations which, in
the case of the PEOPLE'S

and delicate as to involve the
possibility of WAR if some
thing goes wrong in a fish
bowl or on a soapbox at a
street corner.
In negotiations dealing with

particularly to be remember

Babson Sees Gloomy
Future for Rails
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. The
recent suicide of Mr. Robert
Young, Chairman of the New
York Central
Railr o a d,
brings to my
attention the
problems of
the whole
railroad in
dustry. As a
matter of
fact, Presi
d e n t Alpert
Roger W. Babson of the New
Haven Railroad recently ask
ed the Public Service Com
mission of Massachusetts to
close over 50 railroad stations
and discontinue a large num
ber of trains, including crack
trains, between Boston and
New York.
One of the main reasons
given for the railroads' trou
bles is that commuter passen
ger business does not pay, and
is provided only at a large
loss to the railroads. This is
the business of bringing great
numbers of people into a big
city every morning, and out
again at night, all within
short periods of time. In order
to provide such service, many
stations and much new equip
ment must be kept in prime
condition all day for this very
short use.
Your local stockbroker will
tell you whether this situa
tion applies to the railroad
whose stocks you now hold.
With the Union Pacific and
Santa Fe, the proportion of
commuter business is very
small in relation to the total
passenger business. On the
other hand, with the Pennsyl
vania or New York Central,
the proportion of commuter
business is very large. Every
railroad must be judged in
dependently. We should not
generalize about them.
Real Estate Taxes
Another reason for Presi
dent Alpert's appeal for aid
is the taxation levied on rail
road real estate. Such taxes
enable the cities to raise
funds to build turnpikes, air
plane terminals, etc., which
help the competitors of the
railroads. The railroads beg
relief from these taxes; oth
erwise, they threaten to liqui
date. Liquidation would, in
most cases, give bondholders
full payment for their securi
ties but would leave very
little for the stockholders.
Here again, it will be found
that entirely different situa
tions exist with different rail
roads.
For instance, the New York
Central owns much valuable
real estate in the vicinity of
the Grand Central Station,
New York City. Certain short
line railroads are almost real
estate companies rather than
railroad companies. The
Southern Pacific and Great
Northern have valuable oil
and ore leases which secure
their bonds. Here again, your
broker will tell you what rail
roads have valuable real es
tate and what railroads have
not. You cannot generalize.
Competition . '
Competition is the basic
cause of the railroads' diffi
culties today. The various re
strictions put upon rates and
practices by the Interstate
Commerce Commission were
instituted when the railroads
had a real monopoly. Today,
the railroads have no such
monopoly. These rate and
other restrictions should be
eliminated. In fact. I believe
that the business of the coun
try, and of the railroads, to
gether with their employees ,
and passengers, would be j
better off if the Interstate
Commerce Commission were
entirely eliminated.
The competition is not pnly j

sen's usefulness had ended as
White House disarmament
aide. The word was: If Stas
sen did not resign, his resigna
tion would be requested.
The Eastern, Metropolitan
Press spread the word in Sun
day morning editions for Stas
sen and others to read with
their breakfast coffee. The
President, in this week's
White House news confer
ence, substantially confirmed
what had been printed.
Persons not usually regard
ed as friendly to Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon are
in rates but also in conveni
ences. For instance,, trucks
take goods from the factory
door and deliver them to the
consumer. Otherwise, trucks
would operate from the fac
tory to the railroad and then
again from the railroad to
the consumer. There are 50
million automobiles compet
ing with the railroads. The
higher the railroads raise their
rates, the fewer passengers
and the less freight they car
ry. Pipelines for oil and gas
are here to stay; but the car
rying of coal and oil by rail
roads will decrease.
Labor Union Strangulation
One of the greatest handi
caps of the railroads is the
arbitrary and useless rules
of the labor unions. These
rules were made years ago
before the use of diesel en
gines, automatic 'signaling,
and the various electrical ap
pliances which now provide
safety. The worst of all is the
so - called "featherbedding"
wnereby the railroads must
pay for time which is not used
in any productive manner
while they are largely for
bidden to introduce labor-sav
ing equipment.
During the past few months
I have interviewed severai
railroad presidents. When I
asked them the main reason
for the difficulties of the rail
roads, they replied "because
of the foolish, useless, and ex
pensive rules of the labor
unions." Unfortunately, it
takes much courage for Con
gressmen or Senators to try
to curb union labor.
Future Outlook
A large amount of railroad
track should never have beep
laid. Certain railroads were
built, not to carry passengers
and freight, but rather to sell
stocks and bonds. Such rail
road trackage should now be
discarded and thousands of
railroad stations should be
closed. I feel that conditions
may go from bad to worse
until our whole railroad sys
tem collapses and has to be
reorganized. Such reorganiza
tion could eliminate the use
less duplication.
On the other hand, so many
railroad bond issues are se
cured by so many different
kinds of assets that each rail
road would have to be reor
ganized independently. This
would be sure to take a long
time; but most first-mortgage
and certain other railroad
bonds should come out in the
end worth par and interest.
Therefore, my conclusion to
holders of railroad securities
is this: It may be better for
you to sell your railroad se
curities now and reinvest the
money in some new and grow
ing industry. Otherwise, rein
vest in these railroad bonds
later, when they will sell for
half their present price. I now
see little hope for most rail
road stocks.
