Legislative Accomplishments Weren't Stirring
The state legislature thin year aet
qma record, but none of them was for
exceptional work.
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

the family Is the foundation of the
Nation. Let ui examine the founda

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

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

the bill. 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.

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

The other two amendments will
go to the voters in November,

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

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.
