Here, apparently, it is virtually impossible to get people to turn out to vote. HB 1619 would prohibit insur ance of general obligation bonds or special tax levies outside the limitation imposed by the state constitution, unless authorized at an election in which at least 15 percent of the registered voters participate. The bill is probably in for tough sledding in the legisla ture. The reason: It would be too difficult to pass bond issues. Usually an insigficant number of voters pass such things.

The recent property tax revolt in Portland was not over local tax spending programs. Rather, the group wanted the legislature to do something to bring property tax relief. We hope that if voting rights is the issue in Alabama, those who are newly franchised will covet their vote far more than Oregonians, who in a large ma- jority presently shun the polls in local elections.

To put any percentage require ments on the voting would in the estimation of some legislators deny passage of needed bond is sues. The argument against such a law hinges on the reasoning that if the few voters turn out and pass enough tax increases the people will automatically turn out in self-protection. 1 Arrive for Hawkins Rites The family of Arch Hawkins arrived recently to make arrange ments and attend his March 24 funeral services.
