   PER CURIAM.

The petitioner, being dissatisfied with the ballot title prepared by the attorney general for an initiative measure filed with the Secretary of State, has appealed.

His argument on appeal is that the title as prepared violates the spirit of ORS 254.070.

We have carefully examined the ballot title prepared by the attorney general and are of the opinion that the title as prepared is in compliance with the statutes.

The attorney general’s ballot title is affirmed.
