Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, for Transmission Through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter Under the Act ci March 3, 1879. Measures and Amendments With the Cuban situation, and what it might lead to, uppermost in the minds of most of us, it would be easy to fail to study the measures and amendments that will appear on the ballot next Tuesday. They are important, else they would not be on the ballot, and some of them are possibly more important to us than whom we elect to the various offices. At least they will be with us a great deal longer than some of those who will be elected. With this in mind, we are covering them briefly, giving our thinking on each. No. 1 — Reorganize State Militia. Purpose—To amend constitution by authorizing leg islature to reorganize the state militia. We say YES on this as it will bring the organization to date and eliminate the provision that conscientious objectors could purchase exemption. No. 2 — Forest Rehabilitation Debt Limit Amendment. No. 3 — Permanent Road Debt Limit Amendment. No. 4 — Power Development Debt Limit Amendment. These are all similar in that the debt limitation would be based on a smaller percentage of true value instead of on the assessed valuation. We recommend a YES vote on these as they would no longer be subject to different ratios set by different assessors over the state. No. 5 — State Courts; Creation and Jurisdiction. Purpose—To enable the legislature to pass special laws creating lower state courts without them having to apply statewide. We believe counties differ and court needs vary such that uniform laws would not cover every situation. If the number and location of justice courts in Malheur county were required to be similar to a county of the same population in western Oregon it could work a severe hardship on the citizens of Malheur to be that far from their courts. We say YES. No. 6 — Daylight Saving Timo. Purpose—To establish daylight saving time in all parts of Oregon within Pacific time zone from last Sun day in April until last Saturday in September. We feel it will eliminate a lot of confusion for the western part of the state and that part of Eastern Oregon to which it applies for the time to be uniform—be it day light savings or standard. Malheur county not being in the Pacific zone, it is our feeling that we should have no voice in the matter in helping the voters decide what time they shall have. We plan to leave this blank. No. 7 — Constitutional Six Percent Limitation Amendment Purpose—Prevents loss of tax base and fixes election date for exceeding six percent limitation. This would enable taxing bodies to use the six per cent increase when necessary without having to use it the years when not necessary in order to keep the tax base plus the allowable increase. It would automatically permit the use of the highest tax in any one of three years when a tax was actually levied. Thus it would eliminate some expensive elections. We say YES. No. 8 (This has been deleted by ruling of state supreme court.) No. 9 — Legislative Apportionment Constitutional Amendment. As vital as this is to the continuing welfare of Eastern Oregon, it should need no explanation other than it’s the apportionment plan to restore representation for our part of the state. It will secure some representation for every part of the state without denying the large population centers the most dominant representation. Yes is a must for us! No. 10 —Repeals School District Reorganization Law. Purpose- To do what the title says, and to reinstate the former county unit systems, and authorize elections to reinstate former districts. If this law, repealing a 1957 law, were passed, as few as 50 residents or 10 percent whichever is smaller of an original district could year after year force an elec tion to get out of a-reorganized district. We’d grant that everything that resulted in consoli dated school districts was not for the better but we feel wrtam that the good more than offset the bad features School students have better housing, transportation, equipment and better teaching than was possible in the small districts prior to their union. This is a very important NO vote ST. BRIDGET'S CATHOLIC CHURCH TURKEY DINNER Sunday, November 4, 1962 --------- o--------- Serving —2 to 6 p.m. AT SCHOOL CAFETORIUM Adull. - «1.50 Children - 75 C.nt.
