Mr. Scott feels the people of Three Ballot Measures Nov. 5
Oregon wish positive assurance that
the funds will be carefully guarded
and invested; that their administra
tive boards will function efficient
ly, and that their institutions will
be ably and humanely managed. His
life-long personal nnd public record
in Oregon is one of unquestioned
integrity, seasoned judgment and he
is well trained in finance and public
business.
Commission Chairman
¿During his term as chairman of
the State Highway Commission,
1932 to 1935, the state constructed
$18,000,000 worth of roads and in
the meantime reduced the highway
bonded debt $4,862,500. He was
also chairman oif the state industrial
welfare commission, 1928 to 1930,
regulating hours and minimum pay
of women and children.
Mr. Scott makes the same pledge
given before the primaries, namely
Printing Board Member
to give his best for workers, farm
The state treasurer also is a ers and employers. His primary vote
member of the state printing board, equaled that oif the entire field
against him.
“The state treasurer of Oregon
handies each year more than $75,-
000,000 of public moneys in cash,
and approximately $100,000,000 in
total transactions,” declares Leslie
M. Scott, republican nominee for
that important office.
Mr. Scott further points out that
the state treasurer not only is in
vested with a high public trust as
executive head of the finance de
partment, but he also has respons
ible duties as a member of the
State Board of Control. The board
manages the institutions in charge
oif state wards; the state land
board, which administers the state
irreducible school fund and other
trust funds aggregating more than
$9,000,000; and thè state bond
commission, which makes bona in-
vestments approximating $4,000,000
per year for state funds.

Perhaps Longest
Amendment
The people at the 1938 election
overwhelmingly voted to outlaw
slot machines and pinball games. I
am confident they will not reverse
that decision under the bait of
“tax reduction” and contributions
to old age pensions. This measure
is probably the longest constitution
al amendment ever submitted and
would increase by one-half the pres
ent state constitution. Its con
tents are not proper material for
the fundamental law of the state.
The supreme court in a decision
in 1938 appropriately referred to
certain of these machines
“mechanical bandits”.
