PROPOSITION NO. 8,
REGISTRATION OF VOTERS

The proposed state constitutional
amendment appearing on the Nov. 8
ballot as Proposition No. 8 will not, as
some of its enemies have contended, wipe
out the permanent registration law
which was approved by California vot
ers several years ago. 1t will, instead,
make the permanent registration law
flexible enough to allow sensible admin
istration at the discretion of the state
legislature.
The proposed amendment, really, is
merely gesture to remove possible un-
certainty from the law as it is written
The state supreme court already has
ruled that the legislature can do what
this amendment gives it power to do
call for new registrations when it APP
pears that changing conditions make
them necessary to prevent serious con-
sequences. In other words, when condi-
tions of population make it appear that
a heavy shift has occurred in voting
locality, or even in party affiliation, the
legislature can call for new registra-
tion to purge the states books of dead
timber. Some such system is necessary.

The Republican Viewpoint
EDJTED BY
The Republican County Central
Committee

Governor Landon's position concerning re-
lief is very clear. In his speech at Cleveland
October u. he declared very definitely his con-
fidence in the American people, and was unwil-
ing TO subScrib 10 a popular campaign assertion
that the public is relief-minded and will natur-
ally vote for the administration which has
placed millions of relief money in circulation,
and that such vote would be a sort of compen-
Sation or indication of gratitude from those on
relief
Our people want to stand on their own feet"
the governor said. II do not agree for mo-
ment with those who say that large group of
our fellow-citzens prefer relief to honest work
Every self prospecting American wants recovery
that will bring real jobs at real pay We all
know that this is the only final solution to the
relief problem"
The Republican leader believes that peo-
pie are we'll able to support themselves if they
given work, and intimated that the people
should run the government instead of being
regimented by the government.
The way TO recovery he declared "is for
the government TO stop trying to run the lives
of 130000,000 people If the government will do
this, if it will give American initiative a chance
II 100000 men and women will not long be look
ing vainly for jobs"
Governor Landon does not promise or ex-
pect the performance of miracle and he does
not assure that by his election everyone out of
a job will go to work at once. Nor does he be-
lieve that a relief program should become
permanent institution of our government. In
this connection he asserted:
Common sense tells us that complete re-em-
ployment cannot take place overnight. Our
sense of duty tells us that until there jobs
for all We must provide relief Unlike the ad-
ministration however, I view relief a tenn
porary problem"
The Republican standard bearer frowns unon
the method used by the present administration
and inefficient distribution of the money dedi

be removed from any part in relief programs

DON But I do condemn the mismanagement
which keeps the unemployed at subsistence wages
while providing good salaries for the favored
few II is not question of how much the un-
employed are getting; it is a question of how
much their political exploiterS are taking. What
is the proper method for handling relief? 1t
is not an easy problem. But it is a problem
which can-and must-be solved. Surely the
courage and common sense that has built Amer
ica will not surrender before the challenge of
this task"

PROPOSITION NO. 10.
MOTOR VEHICLE FUEL
TAX AND FEES

proposition No. g. dealing with To-
cal option in liquor control, already has
been treated in these columns, winning
a favorable response.)
Proposition No 10 on the Nov. 3 bal
lot masquerades under worthy cause,
but includes issues so confusing that
it should at least be referred back to
its authors for Qualification before it
is approved by California's people. Pro-
ponents argue that its principal aim is
to preserve motor vehicle fuel taxes and
license fee funds for use solely for nigh
way purposes, forgetting that law ac-
complishing just that already is incor-
porated in the state constitution. An
amendment to this exising law is neces-
sary, they argue further, to permit use
of such funds to retire highway district
bonds issued before 1888. This, also, is
a worthy cause.
The difficulty is that there is one all
important rider, which should have no
place in such bill, providing for taxa
ton of all motor vehicle fuel on GAL
lonage basis. Approval of. this clause
would mean favoritism to diesel engine
owners and manufacturers, for their
motors in trucks and other machines get
from two to four times the mileage of
gasoline engines-but cause just as
much wear and need as much supervl-
sion on the highways as any other motor
car. The rider may be just-but 1t
should be presented as a separate issue,
not cloaked in such a guise as that in
which it appears in this amendment.

burg swarms with auto tourists
who want to have a peek at the
place. AS a result the town has
enjoyed what its proud citizenry
calls The Bob Burns Boom.
The visitor buys something as
souvenir. A high pressure chamber
of commerce could not possibly
achieve what the hill-billy come

of spoofing his native heath. But
it is not all just acting. His senti-
mentality is at times on the level.
