New Constitution Must Be Liaison
Between This Century And Next
By ANN H. PEARSON
SALEM (UPD When the Com
mission on Constitutional Revision
completed its draft of a proposed
new state constitution last year,
Hie earliest and strongest opposi
tion came from the State Bar.
Some of the sharpest changes
suggested occurred in the article
dealing with the judicial branch.
The bar objected to many of the
changes.
The document was presented to
the legislature when it convened
in January.
For three and one half months,
the House and Senate Committees
on Constitutional Revision have
worked it over.
Both the commission and the
committees agree that a new con
stitution must be a liaison be
tween Oregon's first century and
her- next, a blend of the past and
the future.
One of the major decisions of

to naturally it's better,
the legislative committees has
been to leave the judicial branch
much the way it is now.
There were nine lawyers on the
18'inember commission, three of
them judges. There were 10 attor
neys among the 18 members of
the two legislative committees.
The commission suggested ap
pointment of judges, who later
would face the voters omy on
their own records, not against
other candidates. It called (or the
Supreme Court to have the power
to make rules for all state courts.
It called for legal qualifications
and non-partisanship for judges.
It called for an advisory state law
commission. It suggested giving
the legislature power to revise
grand jury procedures. And it
said the Supreme Court should be
authorized to review the sub
stance of laws as well as legal
procedures in determining constitutionality.
The legislative committees dis
carded most of this. They de
cided: Most judgeship vacancies oc
cur in midterm through resigna
tion or death. These now are filled
by- appointment. The legislative
committees decided to keep it this
way. End of term vacancies will
initially be filled by appointment,
but the appointee will have to
stand for election, and face an
opponent If there Is one, within
three years.
The legislature would continue
to make procedural rules for
courts.
Judges would be non partisan.
They would have to be members
of the bar.
The advisory law commission
was deleted.
Traditional powers of grand
juries would be retained.
Substantive due process was
deleted.
The decisions of the legislative
committees In large measure re
flected the feeling of the bar.
The committees have agreed
with the commission that a new
constitution must deal boldly with
the outdated If it is to stand up
over the years.
Tho committees have tried to
balance boldness and acceptabili
ty. The judicial branch is one of
many areas where they decided
the essential features of the pres
ent system are working well and
should, for the most part, be retained.
Appling Assails
Unions, Governor
On Use Of Inmates
SALEM (I'PI) Secretary of
State Howell Appling Jr. assailed
unions as "hypocritical" and the
governor as "timid" today for
their stand against use of prison
labor to build state buildings.
He testified before the Senate
Public "Buildings and Institutions
Committee on a bill that would
prohibit construction of state
buildings by convicts.
The current dispute centers on
use of inmates to build a women's
prison. A labor effort to halt it
was thrown out of court on the
basis of the state's immunity to
suit.
The dispute started when the
Board of Control voted 21 to use
prison labor. Gov. Mark Hatfield
dissented.
Appling said he was "ironically
amused" that trade groups sup
port rehabilitation, but not in their
trade. I
Support for a ban on use of con
vict labor was voiced by J. D
McDonald, president of the Ore
gon AFL - CIO. other labor wit
nesses, and by Sen. Edward Fade-
ley, D-Eugcne, sponsor ot tne mil.
Labor witnesses said using pris
on labor was an infringement on
the job needs of the free labor
market.
