There are three amendments to the State constitution to be voted on at the election next November, embody- | ing these changes: Section 22—Permitting any persons who served in the Civil War, in any State, to vote without being required to pay the poll tax, and exempting the wives and widows of such soldiers from the payment of the poll tax. Section 186—Providing for the pay- ment of appropriations made by the General Assembly at any time not exceeding two years and six months | after the money therefor has been set | aside or designated for any purpose, the law at this time restricting such | payments to two vears after the final adjournment of the Legislature mak ing such appropriation Section 170—Enabling and_author izing counties. having @ population of | more than 500 per square mile, to make assessments on properiy owners for public improvements™paving, { sewers and the like.

Judge McCamant is an Oregonian by adoption, though his whole mature life has been spent in the Beaver State. He is a native of Pennsyl- vania, 58 vears old, a graduate of LaFayette " College, was admitted to the bar at Lancaster in 1890, and has been a resident of Portland and pre- eminent in the law ever since. He is a past president of ‘1e Sons of the ‘American Revolution. In 1917 %nd 1918 he was on the Supreme Court bench_of Oregon. Judge McCamant is a Republican conservative of con- servatives. He is an exceptionally able public speaker, and a Presbyte- rian of strong convictions. Because he was employed in a legal capacity to defend the Oregon school law, r |cently declared unconstitutional by {the United States Supreme Court, some of his detractors have claimed that McCamant has Ku Klux Kian affiliations. | Senator Johnson will train his open- ling gune on MeCamant in the Semate judiciary committee.
