A Plug for the Citizens’ Com mittee
Mt. Hood Community College has a
lot o f assets, not the least of which are
the various citizens' committees which
meet regularly throughout the school
year.
The committees submitted their
try is
reports last week and if past history
repeated, about 95 per cent of tneir
recommendations will Ix' adopted.
Last year, for instance, one of the
committees recommended changes in
the registration process. These already
have been implemented. So have an
intercollegiate football program (for
1970) and a short course for small
businessmen, both of which were
committee suggestions
'I’lie citizens’ committees, five in
number, involve about 125 persons
from all walks of life, from all parts of
the district. Collectively, they put in
about 1750 hours of service to the
college this school year. Since the
college
was
started,
citizens’
committees have devoted some 6 ,0 0 0 (
hours which, at about $5 per hour,
ain’t hay.
This year’s committees included
academic
affairs.
student
affairs,
business affairs, community services
and sports. The college, obviously,
knows what a good job the committees
arc doing. This, then, is merely a bit of
public recognition.

It's Your
Law
Clean Hands
Our courts work with two
sets o f principles in meting out
justice-those of “ law” and
those of “equity.”
U n d e r " la w ’
a court
declares the parties’ rights and
duties and sets money damages
for harm already done-as when
someone breaches his contract
with you or injures you in an
automobile crash.
But under principles of
‘ ‘ h o n e s t y , e q u ity , and
conscience” , for example, a
court seeing harm on the way,
may forestall it. I t may enforce
its orders by fines or jail terms.
E ngland
used to have
separate courts to hear cases
under law and equity. But
to d a y
both England and
America use the same judge to
hear both kinds of cases.
How did these two systems
arise?
Long ago the English King
called upon the “chancery”-
then largely made up of
churchmen (the keepers “of
the King’s conacience”0~to
give “relief” where the older
Common Law Courts, grown
rigid, might fail.
Unable to use the Common
Law, the chancellors applied
certain rules and maxims,
sometimes boriowed from
ancient Greece and Rome e.g.
“ he who comes into equity
must come with dean hands.”
Sometimes this is stated: “No
one can take advantage of his
own wrongdoing.”
This maxim denies a suitor
“relief" if he himself has done
wrong in the transaction at
issue. A scale maker, for
example, had advertised that
his scales w o u ld count
fractions o f a cent against the
customer and in favor of the
storekeeper.
He came to a court o f
, equity to stop a competitor
from revealing that his scale
was cheating customers. The
court threw his case o u t Not

maker had no standing in
equity. He could not seek fair
treatment when he himself waa

situation at issue.

June 3 the people o f Oregon
will be asked to vote yes or no
on a measurewhich would put
into effect a sales tax in
Oregon. It would also do a
number of other thinjp, but
those are only the tails to the
sales tax dog. The sales tax
package should be soundly
defeated by the people o f
Oregon. Here is why.
It is a shift not a gift, and a
regressive and unfair one at
that. The sales tax package pro
ceeds are earmarked for use in
reducing property taxes. The
drawback is that when we add
the sales tax burden onto our
present tax obligation and
subtract the property ta x ’
reduction most o f us will end
up paying more taxes. There
fore, with 90 percent of
Oregonians, the sales tax will
bring a tax increase not a tax
recuction.
T h e sales tax will be
exp ensive to administer.
Although it will raise $97.7
million the first year, $1.5
million will be spent by the
state to admimister it. In
a d d i t i o n , a lth o u g h th e
merchants will be permitted to
retain $1.2 million annually
from the proceeds o f his sales
tax collections, It will actually
cost them $7.5 million a year
to administer.
The sales tax will be bad for
business. It will drive millions

will make installment sales
more expensive because we will
