       Upon consideration by the court.
       Petitioner’s request for oral argument is denied.
       Petitioner’s arguments that the Attorney General’s certified ballot title for Initiative
Petition 69 (2004) does not comply substantially with ORS 250.035 are not well taken.
         The court certifies to the Secretary of State the Attorney General’s certified ballot
title for the proposed measure.
       Dated this 16th day of December 2003.
