Oregon's labor unions have gone all out for the compul sory workmen’s compensation program based on the idea that every worker should have adequate protection from ac cidents on the job The social implication is irrefutable and e v e r y o n e would like to see workers paid well and tong for any accident suffered However, there is a small m atter of raising the money to make the payments. This money is not coined at w ill and distributed free U ltim ate ly the worker himself makes the payment when he buys a product or a service The pretty butterfly that floats by in the form o f a free check is a mirage. Social security is being caught in the same a ir space Bv applying the least amount of logic, the contributor can not hope to contribute more than about $3200 in his work ing span. Should he collect for. say, 20 years, the same individual could conceivably collect over $30.000 Not a bad investment It has been said that if social security were to be stooped at the present tim e with no more income and no m o r e claim s accented, it would be in dept over $300 b il lion. So many of our federal pro grams are hatched of the same ilk They are pooular because they are predicated on getting something for noth ing. They are pretty butter flies. The Sales Tax Constitutional amendment is not overlv pop u la r with labor unions because it does not meet the butterfly classification. The unions be lieve, apparently, that money w ill come from somewhere to finance our schools and, if not from Oregon taxpayers, mavbe from the federal gov ernment. Oregon is already a deficit state in the federal tax pay- in come-back scheme We pay Uncle Sam more than we receive in grants. The current wage spiral is another example of butterfly chasing Wage rates are in variably followed by cost of living increases Each general increase in an industry sets o ff a chain reaction which ends up with increased costs all around Those who are on fixed pensions, and even (. oh boys and Engines LOCAL [IO NS painted cross walk» on Highway 101 Saturday m orning in preparation for gala ce le b ra tio n h e r e July 3 ,4 , 5 From l e f t to rig h t are Ralph M ille r , Burrell Babb,I rcdK o w a l, Ira T ucker and W ilb ur Cieen. l»\ Irw in Cupkin I f f M l IX R X A M * 0 4 * M » W IR I » U ’ M T A I M OW» 1 * 1 »OB a il»T tuen » I M IK M A tM U Ft»« Fro»*^»rs So^afy Sarv«CB An all day hearing has been aet for July 28 in Cooa Bay by the Slate Land Board to determine exactly which par cels w ill he put up for lease.

Many Dltceuraged Exploration Shows Oil Basin L ikely, Chambers Told "There w ill be d rillin g off the Oregon coast for oil and gas in the summer of 1965." said Hollis Dole, Oregon state geologist, who spoke to a group of Chamber members from Bandon Coquille, Coos Bay and North Bend Thursday noon Dole pointed out that o ff shore exploration has given every indication that an oil basin, such as has been de veloped o ff Southern Califor nia, has long existed off the Oregon coast Some 200 samples have been taken o ff the coast of Newport by the Oregon State University oceanographic laboratory, and have shown no evidence of the volcanic forms which are found so widely over the Ore gon land Dole said that the exploration revealed that vol canic forms, which tend to break up oil basins and re strict the size of possible pools, were scarce or absent oil- shore Dole pointed out that many persons in the state have been discouraged by the numerous dry veils drilled in Oregon, but that of the more than 200 wells that have been drilled on shore, only about 30 or 35 ol them were undertaken with adequate geologic knowledge and supervision. As oil and gas are found p rim a rily in marine sediments and some 32,000 square miles of the state (or about one- third) come under this c Iasi I fication, Dole indicated that the state's oil and gaa poten tial waa very good Fverything lo r the Builder hot North o l Tow-tt PHON!

F arm Bureau members have b y realized this and have tlffo re d their policies in opposition to such foolishness But stomping pretty butter flies nls not an occupation wdtich puts anyone in a iron’ position for a popularity con test. I t ’s easier and fa r more en joyable to keep eyes upturned and to follow the butterfly in its contented path and to cap ture it if we can. It's fun.

H elp keep "Oregon Green". He further said that these tests showed that "the chances of finding commercial quant ities of oil or gas were many, many times greater offshore than on Land." Eight steps which had been undertaken or were in the off-, ing to take the project from "idea to industry” wre out lined by Dole. The idea was formulated in 1961, and the oil and gas act introduced to the legislature in February of that year, and passed several months later. “ The Oregon Coast Associa tion, who was meeting at about this time, figured ma terially in the passage o l the oil and gas b ill,” said Dole, "by passing a resolution in favor of the act.” Cott* Run High Exploration expenditures by the 16 major oil companies which have been involved w ill be about $20,000,000 by the end of this summer, stated Dole.
