"In all elections not otherwise pro
vided for by this constitution every

You should read both the arguments
thereto given for it by Gail Laughlin
and the other against it by the exec.
utive committee of the Anti-Suffrage
association. Both are printed in the
bill and are in the hands of the copn.

Amendment to the Local Option law
giving ti-Prohibitionists and Pro.
hibitionists equal privileges.
This law is to amend the present To-
cal option law so that the precincts
favorable to open saloons can do away
with present local option law which
makes it so that when a number of
districts favor local option the whole
territory will be compelled to go dry.
The new law will be favored by all
those who oppose the present local OPP
tion law, as it gives the open towns in
dry districts the right to stay open.
Those who favor the amendment will
vote No. 304 and those opposed No.
3O5.
Law to Abolish Tolls on the Mount
Hood and Barlow Road and providing
for its ownership by the state.
This law should be voted down. 1t
looks to the Oriano as if it is simply
a graft proposition in which a corpo-
ration wishes 10 dispose of a toll road
to the state at fabulous price. We
don't think the people should pay
$4,000 for any toll road in order to
enrich some schemers who want to get
rid of the road. It's a nice scheme
on their part, but what is the usel
Why not appropriate about $4,000 for
some one s alkali bed in the desert of
eastern Oregon, and make them happyl
Those opposed TO such propositions
want to not forget to vote "No" on
No. 3O7.
Vote $40, as this is law to amend
section of article IL of the eonstitu-
tion This law does away with the
legislature making laws for cities and
makes it possible for the legal voters
of every town or city TO make their
own laws in this respect. This is a
good law and should be supported. for
il does away with the legislature put
ting in 80 much time on laws that only
effects one town, and then, most of
these laws as present made are not
sanctioned by the people before they
become a law. Vote eyes" at No.
$40. You want to be careful and not
get numbers mixed in these laws.
Proposed by initiative for constitu.
tionla amendment to allow the state
printing, binding and printers com
pensatiOn to be regulated by law at
any time.
We think this law would make it
possible for the legislature to pick
favorite printing houses and give them
the work for the state, and We don I
believe il is good law. We believe
the state should own its own printing
Offices, pay the state printer a salary
and do away with such things as pass
ing along the printing as the legisla-
ture may see Mt. This law does not
even suggest board to handle this
matter. II it suggested that this be
put out by a bid and that the COVER
nor, secretary or the state printer
form board to do this We would be
in favor Of ii, but We dost favor il
as it Is We would suggest that YOU
vote "NO" at No. SSi. No. 900 1.
