No More Wondering
For some tim e now we have wondered when the Port of Port
Orford Commission would come up with a plan of action that
would increase facilities at the dock for sportsfishermen. Well
the days of wondering are o v er.. . at least if they are permitted
to carry out their very progressive program of improvements.
What the Port is proposing is a tw o-lane cem ent slab
launching ram p for sportboats. A vital necessity if Port Orford is
to e v e r get its share of the sm all boat tra ffic .. . which, if you
examine the flow a t other county and coast ports, you will find
considerable.
The m uch-needed facility would be located between the
dock and breakwater and feature a U-turn type arrangement to
make launching as easy as possible. T hat means the boater could
drive onto the ram p towards the water, m ake a U-turn back to
the parking area, then back his trailer straight back to the water.
Theramp6 would be constructed on two different grades (slopes)
to further ease the off and on loading operation.
Other plans call for increasing the size of the existing flo at
ing dock and constructing toilets. These improvements will be
completed with funds from current budget resources.
Which brings us to the point of the subject. The Port will
need a budget increase above the six per cent lim itation for the
ensuing year of $17, 939. . . so the budget will have to go to the
voters.
Total cost of the launching facility is estim ated at $24, 139,
but the State Marine Board has already approved a grant of $6, -
200tom ake up the d ifferen ce.. . and ease the taxpayers' burden.
So now it's up to the voter if they w ant a launching facility
to induce boaters to use the local harbor. . . and probably shop
our stores, eat in our restaurants, buy our gas and stay in our
motels.
It's been a lo t of years since the Port has asked for addi
tional operating funds. We firm ly believe the launching facility
will mare than pay for itself in a very short tim e and we strong
ly urge your YES vote when the Part budget election rolls around,
One man w rites that because
of the rio t at the U niversity of
Oregon he w ill oppose the 19
year old vote.
I am a 29 year old computer
programmer, and to me the riot
is one more reason to vote
FOR Ballot Measure 5 to lower
the voting age to 19.
In the firs t place, there were
approximately 400 students In
volved out of a possible maybe
20,000.
That’ s a healthy 98
per cent who are not trouble
makers.
Secondly, I know these SDS
members, anarchists, and other
radicals,
modem-day-know-
nothings - who - attend - college,
are not representative of to
day’ s youth. They are a minor
ity of noise makers who can
take the center scene because
we disenfranchise the respon
sible 98 per cent, and there is
no meaningful way fo r them to
participate now.
Presently a young man whose
birthday fa lls wrong can be
nearly 25 before he can vote for
P r e s id e n t of the United
States.
This is seven years
after he registers fo r the draft
and Is given the fullest obli
gation of citizenship, seven long
years of second-class citizen
ship during which the 1 per cent
of his peers who are trouble
makers Is throwing rocks,
starting fire s , getting all the
publicity, doing all the " p a rti
cipating” and claiming to be
representative of young people.
Sheer hogwash! Lower the
voting age to 19 and I predict
the voice of responsible, par
ticipating, young people w ill
drown out the harsh cacophon
ies of these nuts and anar
chists who now enjoy the center
stage by default.

Not Supporting Heck
Lawmaking Fulltime Task
For Oregon's Legislators
There’ s a standing Joke
among guides who show the
general public around the State
Capitol Building.
It Involves the bright, young
grade school social problems
teacher who can 1« counted on
to bring her class to Salem in
the spring of every even-num
bered year to watch the Legis
lature In session.
Everyone,
hut
everyone,
knows Oregon’ s biennial leg
islative sessions are conduc
ted only during the beginning
months of odd-numbered years.
Everyone close to the law
making process certainly Is
aware of this practical fact of
Oregon political life . Teach
ers, reason theguldes,certain
ly should know It.
But all of a sudden there
are
some doubters.
They
include current members of the
Legislature, the Capitol press
corps, lobbyists and a growing
host of government employes.
Even Capitol guides are having
second thoughts.
The social problems teach
er Isn’t getting the laughs she
used to.
There’ s so much going on
during ttie present “ Interim ”
(between - s e s s io n - period)
that visitors can see Oregon
lawmakers in action almost any
week cf the year.
Hie reason for this phenom
enon Is the current proliferation
of Interim committees, the so-
called non-session legislative
bodies.
A recent Independent survey
of these Interim groups reveals
a grand total of 56 committees,
subcommittees, sub-subcom
mittees and adv'sory commit
tees pondering, probing and
picking away at the complex
ities of state government.
The survey reveals 17 ma
jo r committees. There’ s the In
terim Committee on Educa
tio n --w ith seven subcommit
tees. There’ s the Interim Com
mittee on Governmental Af
fa irs , with two subcommit
tees--one of which tias two
sub-subcommittees and six ad
visory committees!
Then there’ s the Interim
Committee on Urban Affairs
and Mass Transportation with
two subcommittees and the Ad
visory Committee to the State
Land Board with three sub
committees. Of the five major
••fixed’ ’ Interim todies, only
Labor and Management has es
caped the tendency to acquire
subcommittee appendages.
Those five committees are
appointed by the Legislature
fo r a fixed period of time to
study specific subjects and rec
ommend new b ills for the next
regular legislative session.
During the current Interim
there a re nine more committees
sitting fo r Indefinite periods
and doing everything from ap
propriating funds tor emergen
cy needs and revising crim inal
law to reviewing the budget and
rew riting election laws.
One of these nine commit
tees--Legislative Adm inistra
tion, was named p rim a rily to
coordinate the activities of all
the others and make certain
no Legislator committee mem
ber had too many conflicting
meetings to attend simultan
eously!
S till another committee Is
titled Executive Appointments.
It consists solely of state sen
ators and occupies Itself sig
nalling thumbs-up o r thumbs-
down on gubernatorial appoint
ments.
And two new committees
were named by the House Speak
er following the last regular
session. They are House Task
forces on Pollution and Gov
ernmental Reorganization.
A comprehensive listing of
all subcommittees and lesser
bodies would take more space
than Is practical. And If all
the subjects covered by all
56 Interim todies were explain
ed In detail, It would require
weekly Installments that likely
would s till be running when the
next regular session convenes
In J anuary.
No one is say ing all this In
terim activity Is necessarily
bad. No one is saying it ’ s nec
essarily good, either. Salem-
watchers are reluctant to spec
ulate on whether all this delib
eration w ill produce outstand
ing legislation during the next
session.
And few observers
are willing to cite such frantic
interim activity as a "reason”
fo r future annual sessions of
the legislature.
Several things are certain,
however. Oregon’ s current
Legislators probably are learn
ing more about th e ir Jobs than

TO THE EDITOR
Senator Packwood has been
quoted as saying only one or
two per cen t of the nation's
young people were the "build
ing-burning, rock-throwing rad
icals. " He may be right, but
m ingling with the radicals are
another three per cent of the
"good guys," else how is it that
they get m aim ed by clubbing
and shot to death by guardsmen
or police?
A high percentage of college
students look like hippies and
try» to em ulate them in mode of
many of their predecessors.
And a few are probably wor
ried
about th e ir "amateur
standing” as lawmakers. And
they have reason.
The meeting schedule Is so
heaty and lawmakers are trav
eling to Salem so often this
Interim , that a special week
has been set aside by Legis
lative Adm inistration Into which
are packed as many sessions as
possible.
Legislative
Week
started as an experiment in
January and has persisted the
th ird week of every month since.
No one can properly Judge
a ll this activity--probably un
til the next session Is over.
But In the meantime, bright,
young social problems teach
ers need not t * self-conscious
about scheduling Salem field
trip s whenever they please.

Protecting 0 & C Receipts
During my six years In the Oregon House of Representatives
we had to battle periodically to protect the distribution of the pro
ceeds from our O&C lands against raids by well meaning but mis
guided legislators from non-O&C counties who felt they should
share In these revenues. Since coming to the Congress, our battle
has become making certain that the Federal legislation which
provides fo r the distribution of proceeds from the sale of tim ber
from O&C counties among those counties is not changed.
Total revenues derived in fiscal year 1969 from the sale of
such tim ber amounted to $51 m illion. Of this amount 50,c, or
$25.5 m illion was distributed among the 18 O&C counties. Of
this amount, $19.9 m illio n , or approximately 73^, was distributed
among the six counties in the fourth d is tric t.
The amount of the distribution to each O&C county is based
on the total amount of O&C timber In that county. This resulted
in $6.4 m illion being distributed to Douglas County $4 m illion
to Jackson County, $3.9 m illion to Lane County, $3.1 m illion to
Josephine County, $1.5 m illion to Coos County, and $.9 m illion
to Curry County. In each Instance these revenues coming to the
county as Its proper share of revenues derived from the sale of
tim ber from these lands meant that vital services could be per
formed in that county without a direct tax being levied against
the real property of the citizens living there.
The formula, established by Federal law, which results in
these funds coming back to our counties is, in my opinion, a fa ir
way of making up to these counties fo r the fact that these lands
are in private ownership and that development thereon and taxation
thereof which could come from private capital is thus not per
mitted. This, however, does not stop legislators from other sec
tions of the county which do not have such lands from casting
a covetous eye on these receipts and seeking to change the present
distribution form ula. One such legislator is Senator Proxmire
of Wisconsin, and he remains a threat to us.
I am very pleased to report that the entire Oregon Congres
sional Delegation, Including both Senator Hatfield and Senator
Packwoxl, and all members of both parties of the House of Rep-
resenfrtlves, have joined together in strong and united efforts
to be?.< off attempts to change this formula. So fa r we have been
completely successful. The battle ground constantly shuts, how
ever, irom the House to the Senate, from the Bureau of the Budget
to the White House, from the Department of the In te rio r to the
Congressional Appropriation Committees, and back again. We
must continue striving fo r this cooperation within the Delegation
and fighting to protect these dollars so lm portantto us in Oregon.
The trees growing on these O&C lands are of vital concern to
every one of us in Southwestern Oregon. Not only because of
their beauty and recreational possibilities. But also because
from those trees come the raw m aterials that keep operating
the lumber and plywood m ills which provide the Jobs and the pay
ro lls to support thousands of our fam ilies d irectly and many other
thousands of our fam ilies indirectly. The payment of b ills fo r
groceries, clothes, rent, medical services, and recreation con
tinues to depend on the sound management of those O&C forests.
A significant part of my task back here in Washington has been
and w ill continue to be to make certain that the BLM manages
those forests soundly on a sustained yield, multiple use basis.
Only this way can we be certain that our m ill and woods jobs w ill
continue into the Indefinite future and that not only our generation
but those that follow after us can count on the continued avail
a bility of this tremendously important resource.

Urges Vietnam
Ecology Board
Congressman John Dellen
back has asked the President
to appoint a commission of
American
scientists to work
with Vietnamese scientists in a
study
of the Vietnamese
ecology.
In a le tte r to the President,
Dellenback expressed his con
cern about the severe ecologi
cal damage caused by the use
of chemical defoliants in Viet
nam. Eight of his Republican
colleagues, all of whom are co
sponsors of the study, “ CBW
and National Security” , also
signed the le tte r.
They pointed to the recent
restriction of the use of 2,4,
¿ ,T as "a step toward achiev
ing the highly desirable goal of
stopping this damage.”
In commenting on American
efforts to rebuild European in
dustrial aid urban faciflites af
ter World War II, they ob-
Vletnamese conflict requires
a different objective.
To be
sure, the United States must
promote the industrial re-de
velopment of the country. But
more significantly, we must
assist in the rebuilding of it s
agriculture and ecology, which
lias suffered after so many
years of war. To Ignore the
effects of the war on the en
vironment would lie to imperil
the future of «»entire region.”
The nine Congressman urged
the President to appoint "in the
very near future” a commis
sion which should be "instruc
ted to report on the ecological
conditions in Vietnam and to
recommend the proper steps to
insure a stable and healthy
post-war environment.”
