Som ething from the Legislature
There is «»tie big favor which the
1969 Oregon State legislature can «Io
for its eon.sliliieiitK:
(J o h o m e .
The legislature eaine out early with a
highly-«ontrovcrsial sales-lax hill hul as
far as we eau see. has done virtually
uolhiug since except vole itself an
inereas«* in expense allowance.
The Oemoerats have spent most of
their lime trying to pin the sales-lax hill
«»n (Jov. McCall. We can’t rightly think
of anything the Republicans have done.
Obviously, in the current drive for
adjournm ent, some hills are going to
gel thnm gh. But in the last minute
helter-skelter, we «louht if very many
will receive adequate scrutiny.
A fine example of the addled-headed
thinking in Salem is III«- measure Io sell
stale properly to provide funds for a
multi-purpose domed stadium near
Portland.
!'Or one thing, we doubt if the
voters would even agree we need a
stadium. T hey’ve turned it down twice
in Multnomah county, you'll recall.
Seattle got its stadium, finally, hul
what started out as a $40 million
project now may cost $ 130 million.

New Orleans had a similar said
expern-nee.
Secondly, the legislature s«-areely
understands anything at all about the

l-'or example, Ihe normal running
track around a stadium is a quarter mile
oval. A hors«--raee track usually is a
halfm ile, five-eights, or three quarters.
This nu-ans a stadium, to be adequate
for horse-raeiug, would have I«» he
roughly Ivvire or three limes as big as
Ihe normal stadium. In oilier words,
slightly smaller than Ihe Chicago
Stockyards.
But the biggest complaint we have is
tin- s tu d ie d indifference of Ihe
legislators. Every time we go to Salem
we come away with (hi- same feeling:
‘ This«' guvs are out of touch with
reality.”
At the very least, they show little
awareness of the taxpayers’ revolt
raging through Oregon.
It lakes little pr«-S4-ien<-<- on our pari
to predict that there will he a lot of
new faces in Salem for Ihe next
Legislature.
