citation_a.sentence: See, e.g., Boyd v. Jordan, 1 Cal.2d 468, 472, 35 P.2d 533, 534 (1934) (short title made no reference whatsoever to a tax, even though the sole purpose of the measure was to raise revenue for government); Columbia River, 232 Or. at 232, 375 P.2d at 72 (ballot title invited voters to restrict commercial fishing for steelhead, when in fact the measure would ban all fishing on the Columbia River).

citation_b.sentence: Ass’n v. Appling, 232 Or. 230, 233, 375 P.2d 71, 72 (1962) (encouraging petitioners to masquerade under misleading captions opens the initiative process to abuse). We agree, therefore, with the many cases Miller cited that criticize the use of short titles containing either untrue representations designed to defraud potential signatories, or highly inflammatory language calculated to incite partisan rage.
