stage.
Suppose a take the day off lor
brief look at Uia measures on
tha Oregon ballot.
Aa I else them up. six are of
broad ato Imnortance, Involving
fundamental politic affecting the
future welfare of Oregon. You
ahould aunty theae alx and vow
your Informed convictions.
Eight of the 18 are what wa
might call "housekeeping" meaa
urea. In general they prupoee bet
ter wmya of doing things. More
modern' ways. I suggest that you
approach them In the aplrtt of the
housewife who overhaula her kitch
en from time to time with the
Idea of making It mora efficient.
' Two of Hie If Involve moral la
auea on which you will have your
own peraonal opinion, bawd on
your peraonal conception of what
la right and what la wrong.
There: la a etraighl tax mcamira.
designed limply to ralae more
money. There la a CLOCK meaa
ure Involving In Hie aummer
montha thla almple queatlon:
' What time la It anyhow?"
' Let's take up the broad, alale
Wtoe alx In brief detail.
The moat eontroveralal, I think.
It what la generally known aa the
milk bill. It propones a departure
limn tha rigid regimentation of the
milk Industry from the cow to the
ronaumer under which we have
operated In Oregon ao long. It re
talna all the ouallty safeguards and
price controla up to and Including
the producer. It removea aoma of
them ABOVE the producer level
and opens up tha handling and
marketing of milk more widely to
the play of irea enterprise.
With conalderable travail of aoul
(I have been whooping It up for
tha dairy Induatry for 35 yeara)
I aha l vote FOR the milk bill.
That la to aay, 1 will vote 333-YE8.
After all. It la only a bill, not a
conatllutlonal amendment. If It
oen I work, wa can repeal It,
Next In Importance, I'd aay, la
the weight-mile truck tax, which
laya a larger ahare of road con
struction and maintenance on the
big trucks. We can t do without the
big trucka, but I think they must
pay their full ahara of tha dam
age they do to the road. Our best
amnoritiea aay iney a on i ao wiei
now, I'll vote llf-VES.
There la a companion bill to 111
31. Ita number la 330-331. Ita pur
pone la contrary to 31 If you
vot 1H-YES, you ahould alao
vote (if you want to ba consistent)
MI-NO.
I ahall vote 111-NO.
Another of the basic alx U the
act limiting the ataia tax on prop
erty to alx mllla, plua what may
, be needed for bond Intereat and
redemption. Ita baalc purpoae la to
reserve tha bulk of the- property
tax to the cltlea, the counties and
the smaller taxing aubdlvlalona.
They NEED It. .
I think that purpose; U sound
and will vote US-YES.
I'll vote JOUNO against the
amendment making the state
school superintendent appointive
Instead of eleotlva. I grant the va
lidity of the arguments In Ita favor,
but personally I want to keep gov
ernment CLOSE TO THE PEO
PLE. Over the long pull, that
seems aupremely Important to me.
I'll vote S33-NO against the legis
lative reapportionment bill. It's a
; step closer to putting control of
the legislature Into tha handa of
the big cities. That, I think, la
dangerous. There la more com
mon sens In the cow counties.
So much for the BIO BIX, '
The housekeeping" measures
(as I segregate them In my own
mind) are; I

and the guards were unhurt.
The notorious Dupree Poe was
one of the six. Bo was William P.
Benson. Poe, serving life for kill- .
Ing a policeman, has tried again
ana strain to escape, rms was nis
fourth time In 1953. Benson, orig
inally sentenced to five years for
a Multnomah County armed rob

1949 when he and Omar Plnson
went over the wall but later were
both recaptured.
OTHER FOUR
The other four Included Albert
Doolln, habitual criminal from
Marlon County; Allen Brumfteld,
murderer from Multnomah County;
William Baker, doing four yeara
for a Jackson County burglary;
and Irvln Jones, murderer from
Wasco County.
The last two, Baker and Jones,
suffered flesh wounds when wall

The affair started when Ouard

a man loose In the corridor of tha
segregation ward. Watson swiftly
called four other Inside guards
from the floor above, and the five
ran outside to make a quick check.
Deputy Warden Lawrence O'

the sequence of events:

Although the guards didnl know
It as they ran out into the fog, sis
men had gone through a window

waiting for them. -
each guard was grabbed, threat

bound with tape and tora-up sheets.
Inside guards are not armed.

guards, under threats, bad made
no outcry and no alarm had been

Tne men reached ihe wan. start

confronted by a line of armed men
atop the wall.
They had failed to reckon witn
the standard prison fog guards.
