Mercedes summed the passage of the bill most appropriately: We are convinced that a fair trial for the measure, so Elk~ G~ve Gilt for Interracial Progress overwhelmingly approved by both houses of the legisla­ ture, will soon eliminate the conditions that made it nec­ essary. On the one hand, it will demonstrate that the pro­ prietors who have discriminated have nothing to lose but their prejudices. On the other, it will remove the basic reasons for minority resentment in which lie the seeds of ill will and violence. Indeed such action coming from a state governing body gives the minority the spiritual guidance needed. It swells their pride in the democratic process of government and gives them the feeling that progress is being made to eliminate a "problem" that had no business in our society in the first place. Such actions le~sen racial tension nationwide. It is in this type of state legislation that many of America's citizens pin their hopes for solution of a stigma that hurts so deeply that only the offended can fully realize the injustice done. Oregon is definitely moving ahead in its sincere attempt to rectify a wrong in our society. The citizens of this state are in order when they bless the legislators and the organizations that worked so fervently to see the civil rights measure passed.
