We recommend passage of the
Sandy City Budget. The city can not
operate without funds, and the budget
which will be presented to the voters
Tuesday has been deleted to the very
basic needs of residents of the city.
We add a further recommendation
that a workable, suitable tax base for
the City of Sandy be considered by the
people, and that it appear on the
ballot at the General Election, in
November.
We recommend passage of the
proposed budget for Mt. Hood
Community College.
We recom m end the following:
MEASURE NO. 1: ‘‘Capital Con
struction Bonds for State Govern
ment,''
MEASURE NO. 2: “ Repeals ‘White
Foreigner’ Section of the Con
stitution.”
MEASURE NO. 4: “ Pollution
Control Bonds.”
MEASURE NO. 5: “Lowers Oregon

by the 1909 Legislature with
only three negative votes; Most
of the testimony heard before it
was passed was favorable, and
was given by various Chamber

Commerce
groups,
representatives of the State
Highway Department, users of
the highways, etc., there are no

such "s a te lite a re a s " as
Sandy, and purchase of the
Blue Lines is not possible at this

government subsidies. T ri Met
is awaiting approval of a
requisition for new equipment
to replace existing equipment,
but no figure was given. Tri
Met w ill need about *2 million
dollars over the first two years,
and hopes to use other sources
of revenue than the present
employers tax, but cannot say
lw»w long after the two year
period this w ill be, or when it
might even be decreased
Daggett said use of a gasoline
tax to supplement the present
employers tax would require a
Constitutional amendment, but
“ if the proposed Constitution
passes at next Tuesday’s
P rim a ry
E lection,
the
Legislature would have the
right to convert such taxes for
services such as T ri Met".

th e
MEASURE NO. 3:
“ Revised Constitution for Oregon.”
This measure purports to delete
obsolete provisions in the present
constitution. It appears to us, after
careful study of the measure, that
most of the voice in government now
retained by the voters would be
classified as “obsolete,” and would
invest nearly complete powers in the
State Government.
MEASURE NO. 6: “Local School
Property Tax Equalization”
We feel that the ballot title is
completely mis-leading in the use of
the word ‘local’. Passage of this
measure would mean even less local
control and voice in our school
systems.
We do need tax bases for schools,
but we suggest they be set by local
people for local schools, and
regulated by local needs.
Finally, vote as you like...but vote!

POST
ESSAY—" L it t e r ”
AW ARD
By Kristin Bergesen Eighth
Grade
Litter is becoming a grave
problem in all parts of the
country It is also becoming a
problem in Sandy
It is appalling to see the
amount
of
trash
being
carelessly strewn about Sandy
It is hard to believe that people
are so careless, but it does
seem that they have no respect
lor public or private property.
It would appear that people left
to themselves w ill eventually
destroy th e ir environm ent
Since it is not possible to police
all the land open to the public,
steps must be taken to alleviate
the problem at its beginning
Packaging is responsible for
much of the litte r Products are
so encased in plastic and
cardboard that it is a struggle
even to unwrap them It would
considerably cut down on the
amount of trash if more
re s tra in t
was
used
in
puckaging
Another source of litte r is
non-returnable bottles and
cans. People prefer to dispose
of these along the roadside
rather than clutter up their own
trash cans, or stop for a minute
and put them in a wayside litte r
can.
I don't think anyone wants to
live in a world full of trash, but
if we don’t do something about
it now, it w ill soon be too late.

They were junior Kay Ashton

A soloist from the depart

The Pionaires, swing choir,
gave 26 performances through
the year.
There are approximately 200
students involved in the music
department, which is about
one-quarter o f the student
body. This alone should bring
enough parents out to the
concerts to get a good audience,
but it doesn’t. The seats are
only about half taken. Interest
from the parents and the rest of
the community does a great
deal to get the students in
volved and proud of their ac
complishments.
This resume is only one
example of the many activities
taking place in the school.
Other activities such as in
s tru m e n ta l m usic, speech,
drama, athletics and many
organizations, both service and
educational, exist in the school.
Sandy Union High School is
really a good school, doing a
great job with her many in
volvem ents. The students,
faculty, and all concerned, urge
you to get to know your school,
because i t ’s a swell place! You
can help to make it even better
by being interested in our
generation and letting us know
so!

To The E ditor:
As parents of a student at Mt.
Hood Community College, we
would like to express our
opinion about this school.
First, we have spent some
tim e visiting the campus and
are very impressed with the
way our tax money has been
spent. There has been con
siderable tim e and effort spent
on b u ild in g a school and
campus for the future. The
buildings are being planned
and constructed soundly and
economically.
Secondly, we like the at
mosphere and the attitudes of
its students, who have been
more interested in getting an
('duration than in disrupting the
school
We were happy when our
daughter chose to go to Mt.
Hood and we a rt pleased that
she is planning on going this
next year too
i mcerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Swails
Sandy
To The Editor:
I strongly recommend a YES
vote May 26 on measure No. 8
for a new tax base for Mt Hood
Community College
Mt Hood has fulfilled every
commitment it has made to the
public. It has been fiscally
responsible and prudent The
tax rate for the building and
operating of the college has not
exceeded $2 per $1,000 property
value during the 5 years since
the college began
Mt Hood's program is all
that was asked and then some
V o c a tio n a l-T e c h n ic a l o f
fe rin gs. job tra in in g and
college transfer work have
provided all people new op
portunities for employment as
well as education at a cost
within the reach of any person
or fam ily
The college has also had a
major economic impact on this
region The continuing income
to the cegion from the college ia
one reason why this area ha*
through four w ill follow the pre-schoolers
from 2:45 to 3:15, beginning Tuesday, June
16. Both groups w ill continue through the

each month since i t ’s inception
six months ago. The club
winning it the most times in a
year w ill gain perm anent
possession, so the local group is
determined to keep it here.
Cap’t. I.S. Hartman and Dr.
Robert Jensen, members of the
Mt. Hood Community College
faculty, discussed the proposed
budget for the school to be
voted on next Tuesday. They
also presented a slide program
which traced the progress of
MHCC fro m
its modest
beginning to the present.
The
M ilw a u k ie
group
reported that their president,
D utch W atanabe, w orking
not suffered a m ajor economic
recession.
The
college
generates about 10 new dollars
fo r every local d o lla r we
contribute to its support. What
better return could we ask?
The new tax base w ill cost
about 20 cents more per $1,000
in property value. That’s $3 on
a $15,000 home in 1970-71, less
than a restaurant meal or a
couple of movie tickets. The
new tax base w ill permit the
college to continue its long-
range, financial plan with a
total tax rate of under $2.
Let’s show a great young
college that we support it and
its record A 20 cents in
vestm ent w ill p e rm it our
college to care for some 500 of
our own students who w ill not
be able to enter if the tax base
is defeated
Mt. Hood's modest proposal
is endorsed by all of the
newspapers and chambers of
commerce in the district.
It certainly has my en
dorsem ent.
As an area
businessman and as a citizen
concerned about educational
opportunities for our young
people, I believe Mt Hood is
one of the best investments we
have ever made.
Let’s not cripple the college,
let’s help it! Stay Great with
No. 8!
