Everywhere one travels these days you run into two things fall scenery and tourists rushing to get back home before the freese up. Happened to be in Carson City, capital of Nevada, for the festivi ties over Admission Day. That s the big day for the Nevadans. Every one shuts up shop and rushes over to the queen city where . they sit e round, waicii a paraae tnat in cludes about, nineteen bands and takes belter than an hour to pass along the street, eat hot dogs and Mash 'em down with various con coci ons, fight the crowds, com pare the city with your own home and then hit the crowded highways for the home- garage. Virginia City, high above both Carson and Reno, reeling from the impact of a day early Halloween and a late sea son influx of tourists. Rubberneck, ers heaven up there. If you like antiques. The town's full of "em. t CAUGHT I N By DEB ADDISON Tomorrow Is election" day.' when the future of the country,- for the next four years at least, will be decided. The election of the president overshadows everything else, lis time for a change because the pres ent regime hss run its course is outmoded and is degenerate. Ike should be elected. There are also a lot of measures on the ballot. Here's the way we boll them down: SUPERINTENDENT OF PUB LIC INSTRUCTION Now elected. The bill would change it so the state board of education would hire a man lor the office, on the basis that a better trained school administrator could be secured that way.- - We vote Yes. VETERANS' STATE AID SINK ING FUND A bookkeeping measure. Yes. STATE HOSPITAL FOR AGED MENTALLY ILL It's something badly needed for these old people who are aVtompe tent but not crazy. The state insane asylum is the only place for their care now. The act author ises the legislature to spends up to S3 million to build the hospital near Portland. Considering the need we vote Yes. ' TAX BASE MEASURE It does not remove the 6 per cent limitation and puts the vote In a general or primary election. Yes. OREGON WAR VETERANS' FUND Purpose Is to make the Korean ''police action" boys legally vet erans. , Yes. LEGISLATIVE EMERGENCY COMMITTEE Purpose to make emergency Committee and fund, as now set up by the legislature, constitutional lor sure. . Yes. FIXING TERMS OP SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES To do away with lapse of com mittees after old legislature goes , out and new comes in. Yes. ACT TITLE SUBJECT AMEND MENT To streamline legislation. Yes. LIMITING STATE PROPERTY TAX Purpose to limit the amount that could be collected through state property tax (none collected last 13-years because offset by Income tax). A declaration In the right direction, though It could be cha.iged at any legislative as sembly. Yes. MOTOR CARRIER HIOHWAY TRANSPORTATION TAX ACT This Is the new law that was worked out by the legislature last session. It was atopped and put up for this vote through referen dum by the big. long-haul com mercial truckers. We think it's a good, fair way to finance Oregon highways. Even if nothing else were known about it, we'd take the word of the legislature, which represents all people and interests in" the state and has worked on this problem for years, rather than one very special group, the big transport haulers.

The bouses are different but the people seem to be about the same And In the end it's awful good to get home again. THE ROU1N0S1 t the measure, in opposition to the big boys. Jacx Liiunan of Arrow Transit, for instance, publicly did so. He stated that this measure, the weight-mile law, would in crease his operating expense less than one half of one per cent. A Yes vote would make this measure law. Definitely, Yes. SCHOOL DISTRICT REORGAN IZATION Would help outer districts to do what we have done lu unification 11 they so desire. Yes. CIGARETTE TAX We're in favor of a sales tax, but not in singling out special com modities. It includes a "lair trade" price on cigarettes. No. STANDARD TIME It would hold Oregon to United stales standard time u passed; leave wings as is u aeieatcd. Yes. PARI-MUTUEL BETTING If passed would stop now-legal betting at race tracks. Other gambling Is now prohibited by the uregon constitution already. Argument against Is that coun ties would lose the tax on betting to Vancouver. Wash. Let your con. science oe your ruiae. LIQUOR BY THE GLASS Would change nothing- in Ore. gon'a control of liquor except to ici you Buy a arms at your ciuo without totinir your bottle. OLCC would license bars instead of bottle cluos.

MILK PRODUCTION MARKET ING ACT BILL For it: Removes control of milk marketing (not sanitation) after it leaves the dairy farmer. Against it: while seeoin price base for dairy farmer It removes quotas, thus making the effective ness of the price support question able. Klamath Basin Grade A Producers say no. You decide. APPORTIONMENT ENFORCE MENT We need to reapportion the legislature. This would do it en tirely on population, without re gard for the wide open spaces of Eastern Oregon.

They 11 Dolt Every MADRID (.fi Snapshots from touring typewriter: The face of Madrid is changing more rapidly than almost any oth er capital in Europe. New hotel; are rising to fill tha demands oi the tourist trade. Great chunks of pastel colored apartment buildings containing hundreds of apartments are being erected to meet the needs of a population desperately demanding more housing. There is an air of crisp modern ity about the city that in Itself is stirring the American visitors who like an atmosphere of pro gress In a storied setting. They also find the individual Spaniard one of the most likeable Euro peans. Most vacationists, of course, are more interested1 in having a good time here than in the politics of this colorful country which has such tremendous contrasts of an. cient grandeur, new splendor and old uovertv. After dining at a palatial bote! spending for one meal enough to keep a poor Spanish family la beans and bread for a month they ask idly, "who runs this coun try anyway." . To this question you can get many anawers, just as a stranger might if he asked who really ran America. "Tha church rules Spain," Is the reply often given by the man in the street, who may affectionately admire bis own parish priest, but dislikes the top clergy. "No Franco is a true generalis siroo." disagrees a Nationalistic patriot. "If Franco went to Korea with our Spanish divisions, be would destroy the Chinese Army." But an observer who baa been here many years said that Spain actually is bossed By wnat be call ed "the nine old men." It it- bis contention that the country has been controlled by tha Army for 150 years and any regime that falls to meet its demands U always sure to be toppled by the military Junta still firmly in the ssddle. "The nine old men are the cap tain generals or military gover nors of Spain's nine military dis tricts," he said. -"They bold the real power and Whatever they oe cide as a, clique becomes the pol icy of the government. "Franco is, in fact, only the front man for these nine old men. even though the majority of them now are his appointees. He is bo absolute dictator. He is answer able to them in any real showdown. They can unseat him anytime be moves against toe Army a w lines and he knows It." Who really does run Bpiin7 no one yon ask will answer "The Peo ple." The new apartment Build ings In Spain kave more modern innovations than Its constitution. But there la aurprlslngly small disaffection with the Franco re gime among tha masses. There still la (rest poverty here, but there always has been great poverty and anyway great poverty in it self doesn't usually create rebel lion or organize euccessful revolu tions. Franco himself was a revo lutionary but he didn't start from hunger. "Spaniards like every other peo ple in Europe are alck of war." raid one longtime observer. "Tbey went no more bloodshed like they had In their civil war. "Besides, under Franco feed and bousing and transportation have shown some improvement and life It not quite so hard aa It was. The average Spaniard certainly would like to have thlnis better than they are now but most of ell be wants peace himself and chsnee to raise a family In peace just like everyone else in the world loaay."

Time California Politics By ROSS RAGLAND ProMalllon !. State Funds! Hos pital Construction, Is an Assembly Constitutional Amendment which would permit the appropriation of state funds for the cost of corw struction of hospital facilities by non profit private corporations wherever federal matching funds are made available. At the present time state funds cannot be given to match federal funds for hospital construction unless the organisa tions building the hospitals are pub lie organisations, that Is a city, county or hospital district. The amendment would Include prtvate groups among the organlratlons that could receive state aid as well as federal aid to underwrite build ing costs. The proponents claim that un less state funds are made avail able to such groups, then, the fed eral funds which are available will be withheld and California would not get in return its fair share of ieurrai iunos. Tha opponent argue that the present prohibition against gifts of publie money to private corpora lions la a sound colley and should not be changed and declared that the next step would be to author Ire use of publlo money to assist the cost of runnini such srlvately owned hospitals. A private group is not going to oe interested! in running a non-profit hospital too long. State match money is avail able now to any public group for building hospitals. All organisations sav NO except the Federation of Labor. They rec ommend a YE8 vote. rrepealtlon 11, Superior Jodiea, Vacancies, Is a Senate Constitution al Amendment which provides that where a superior court vacancy occurs during a general election year preceding the end of me in cumbent judge's term, election of a lull-term successor shall be held at that coming election. The con stitution now permits sucb vacancy to be filled by appointment by the Governor and the voters cannot show approval by vote until after the appointee has served at least two years. The State Chamber of Commerce recommends a TES vote. No oth er organlratlons recommend. Fropoaltloa .

Proposition 11, Description ef Property for Aaaesaatent, an as sembly Constitutional Amendment would permit the assessments for land nomings over M0 acres would not have to be made out as to sections or fractions of sections but could be ase.ved as die par cel of land regardless of aire.

The amount of 1S5.000.000 Is a -Iced for the pur pose of building badly needed school buildings.
