It ran more days than ever before and waft most expensive, but the work doa was far from outstanding. It even had trouble adjourning. It had Us chance in the tax and con stitutional revision fields, but because of "what one reporter called "unyielding stub bornness" it failed to make a mark here, It had a chance, and certainly plenty of time, to come up with a strong tax re form through use of a sales tax or net receipts tax. Instead, it took away the Oregon taxpayer's deduction for the lax ha pays to the federal government. A flat $22 tax credit for personal and dependen cy deductions will be allowed. A tax com mission spokesman said the bill would raise the slate income tax 28 per cent. Most estimates have been somewhat low er, but the bite will still be heavy. ; Since it eliminated th deduction for the federal Income tax and little else, this will probably be the very thing which leads to a tax referendum. Gov. Hatfield says this will be attacked as "a tax on a tax."- . ... t The legislature refused to 'give the people a right to vote on whether they preferred high state income taxes or a sales tax, rejected the net receipts tax (which would have made more people pay income taxes) and rejected a cigarette tax. It took the course least likely to gain public acceptance. It seems very possible now that a spe cial election will be held Oct. 14 to attack Opinions From Conspiracy To Eliminate Family Citad By Raadar To The Editor: Thi family is the most Important of human organizations. The dis integration of society follows that nt uie tamuy. we are taught that the family Is the foundation of the Nation. Let ui examine the founda tion. .' There la a conspiracy to limit and even eliminate the family. The average American family consists of less than four persons. Parents are reminded that it Is wrong to brine children into the world un less they can be given proper care and education. Why are parents unable to give children the proner care? Primar ily because too many mothers work outside their homes. Why do mothers work outside their homes7 Most of them work In order to keep up with the "Jones family." Others must work because aire necessity compels them to work. We are glad that women have freedom and equality and art able to participate in public life. But a mother of young children, living with a husband who has adequate income, should not work outside her home. Most of these mothers are hot contributing anything to our econ omy. Many of them are neglecting their children. Also they are de THE LIGHTER SIDE: Door Be A By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UP1) Con gress may spend as much as $200,000 cutting extra doors through the walls In the new $70 million House Office Building. Apparently, nobody noticed that an additional door would be need ed In each of the 169 suitea until some sample rooms in the as yet unoccupied building were put on display recently. By that time It was too lata to say "oops" and start over. The major portion of the building, a part of a $131.5 million House of fice expansion program, had al ready been completed. When the contractor was con sulted, he advised Mouse officials that It would cost between $150. 000 and $200,000 to provide doors where the blueprinla called for built-in metal filing cabinets.

The low income family needs as sistance, but we do very little for it. Even our tax laws work a hard ship on the family.' The proposed sales tax certainly would put a greater burden on a family than on a single person. We are generous to the unwed mother and her illegitimate child. We should also be generous to the mother with legitimate children and who is attempting to hold her family together. We wait, however, until the family is broken by hard shiD and divorce and then we will help the mother and her chil dren with public aid. The li ore homes that are brok en, the more mothers who must work outside their - homes, the more children are neglected, the more freedom and liberty that are lost, it tins i renn continues, fam ily life will he similar to that in Russia and China. Communism requires all moth ers to work. But, at least, it does not neglect the children. The State provides day care. Nursery schools teacn tne children to be good com munists.

(ieorge Stewart indicated that the doors would be opened piece meal for House members who requested It, "If any member moves Into the new building and wants a door way rut through, I am sure ev ery effort will be made to ac commodate his personal wishes," Stewart told the subcommittee. Subcommittee chairman Tom Steed, D-Okla.. predicted that "most of the members are go ing lo insist they have additional communication facilities." If such Is the case, then the total cost presumably would be somewhere in the neighborhood of S2IH1.000. It seema iinlikelv Ih.t culling the doors one at a time woum oe any cheaper than cutting them simultaneously. Each suite in the new building will have three rooms one for the congressman, one for the slaff and one In the middle, divided bv a glass partition, for a receptionist and the administrative assistant. There is a door between the congressman's office and the one to be used by his assistant, but there is not a rimr hi.nn it,. assistant's office and the mam slaff room.

Only 23,000 signatures of regis tered voters are needed to put it on the ballot. Without that special election, the referendum would go on the November 1964 ballot. Meanwhile, the tax bill would be suspended. These 23,000 names on the referendum will have to be filed within 90 days from the end of the legislative session if the referendum comes about. Then, if the people vote it down, the legislature will be called back into special session to either figure out another pro gram or reduce snending. It has the makings of a pretty good mess. In the constitutional revision field, the showing was just as sorry. This poor showing can be blamed on the Senate, which seemed to enjoy using its axe on House of Representatives programs. Here, all that was asked was that the peo ple be given a chance to discuss and de cide on the proposed new constitution. A small senate minority decided it had some special interests which needed to ride on the coattails of the constitution, so it rejected the matter. In both the tax and constitutional field, it shunned action. But on two matters it took action which may boomerang. One of the debatable actions was the virtual abolition of civil defense. It raised its sal aries, which probably was an action long overdue, but it certainly wasn't an action to draw great voter support. After a record 141 days, the legislature had done little to justify that length of time spent. Readers Divorce Reform Group Asks Show Of Interest To The Editor: I have been notified by U. S.

Any Ideas- Election n Peru sial political character, Victor Raul Haya De La Torre. Leans Left Haya De La Torre is a man with a Nanolconic face and fieure who heightens his resemblance to the famous Corsican by brushing his forelock down over his fore head. As founder and leader of Peru's American Popular Revolu tionary Action, or APRA, party, he siient years in exile and more years hiding out from Peruvian police in the Columbian Embassy in Lima. - He is considered a leftist of the same school as President Ro mulo Bctancourt of Venezuela and President Juan Bosch of the Dominican Republic. In Peru, lie is suspect bv the military and righ'.wing political groups, and prior to last year's elections, military leaders had vowed publicly that if elected he never would be permitted to lake office. After the elections, the military charged voting frauds and seized the government. Same Mn Run This year Haya De La Torre once more is a candidate. In fact, all major candidates are the same as a year ago. The other two are Fernando Belaunde Terry, a professor of architecture and enthusiastic explorer of Peru's Andes mountains and inn gles, and former President Man uel Odria. Belaunde heads the Popular Action Party and Odria's organi zation is called the Odria Union. Neither has anything like the organization of Haya De La Tor re's APRA party, which enjoys strong support from labor. Impartial observers in Peru say the military junta there has done a good job in preparing for the coming elections. New Rules Enacted A new election law has been written and is conceded to be non-discriminatory. A new regis tration of voters, wilh literacy a requiremenU was carried out during the last year. In Lima late last March this correspondent interviewed a 1 1 three major candidates and then submitted questions to Gen. Nich olas Lindley, head of the ruling Junta.

It said the question was "not per tinent" inasmuch as the junta had made no statement on the subject. All three candidates are cam paigning on platforms of and Communism and cooperation with the Alliance for Progress. Differences primarily are ones of detail. The only dollars that go farther today are those that wind up out there in outer space. lffrlilf-ill FAT OVERWEIGHT rYxit! to't ft in I 04 or yX'r rrany 6aK CM'i-s tl I t.nv ! rd ft'V icacr oa-? cam uco t w'd r t. cjiraef it fie Mt d v -y Mio"i toil f vm tr ckim to ojt ,Ti SVr. ? l,M 0n - I.

But the legislature, Dy-passea meanly $12.5 million would be used chance to leave such a legacy at least this time. The document got long hours of attention from two commu tes, got through the House with one vote to spare over the two thirds needed, was rejected by the Senate, revived, and died by three votes. It advanced as far as it did farther than many thought it would be:ause its supporters were imbued with the challenge of pausing in history to recon struct a "framework for Ore gon's next century, a house to grow in." It was stopped in the end be cause of two specifics, legislative apportionment and a plan for a stronger governor and because of hesitation over the awesome job of making history by refash ioning so many years of it. Work Suspended Now, all the work the years of pressures culminating in legis lative creation of a revision com mission two years ago and in leg islative action this session is suspended. But it is not lost. The drafts and studies and care re main. 1 Now there is talk that citizens groups for constitutional revision will take up the job, perhaps call ing a constitutional convention or even trying to put a new consti tution on the ballot themselves. If not, enough legislators to make the difference, indicated they will send a constitution on to the people at the next session, after two more years of study. The proposed constitution, less than half the length of the pres ent one, did many things. It dropped the excess baggage gathered in a century, it moved many details to the laws, it pro vided new . flexibility, it cleaned up language, it kept most of Ore. gon's time-tested traditions, ana it made some . substantive changes. The commission's draft was the most severe. The legislative com mittees moved back nearer Ore gon's present constitution in many respects, too far back some thought. Even the legislators, however, insisted the executive branch must be strengthened. This, stopped the document near the end of its course through the legislature. But it was clear tne tiue lor revision was still flowing, ana tne j legislative action, as far as it went, mirrored the strength of 'the tide. ' Meanwhile, in case the new one didn't make it, the legislators didn't foreget Oregon's present constitution, already amended 111 times. . , The Almanac By United Press International Today is Friday, June 7, the 158th day of 1963 with 207 to ! follow.

' One of these would abolish the death ' penalty. The amendment would take the matter out of the constitution and put it in the laws. There the bill would change the penalty for first degree murder to life imprison ment, with a mandatory 10 years in prison and lifetime parole after release. Four persons now face execu tion in Oregon, but none would be affected if voters approve the change. The third amendment would lift a restriction on the state's "lend ing its credit." The intent is to make it possible for the state to do such things as lease building space on a long-term basis. 5,000 Graduates Face Big Choice By ZAN STARK SALEM (UPI) An estimated 6,000 high school students are about to make a decision that will affeot the future course of their lives, and possibly trap them for ever at a below-average income level. . They will drop out of high school. Not every dropout is doomed to be a failure. Some enter the armed services and find them selves in their new life. Others realize later the limitations of re stricted schooling and take night courses or in some other manner resume their education. Percentage - wise the situation has improved over the past 11 years, although the number of dropouts has remained about the same because of expanding enroll ments. Glen Weaver of the Department of Education said one of three, or 6.847 of the 18.918 students who entered the ninth grade in 1948, dropped out before graduation in 1952. The 1958 freshman class totaled 26,762. The dropout rate was one in four, and 20,750 graduated in 1962, for a loss of 6.012. In this modern age. a high school diploma is only the begin ning. Eldon Cone, director of the State Employment Service, has released an, "open letter" to 1963 high school graduates which urges them to consider their job future carefully. "In this jet - propelled, auto mated age of electro - mechanical innovations the high school di ploma is not always a passport into the better jobs in a highly competitive labor market." He urged high school graduates who are not planning to go on to college "to make early contact with the nearest office of the State Employment Service ..." He called upon employers lo provide on-the-job training oppor tunities including apprenticeship wherever possible for the high school graduates entering the la bor market.
