Public input is essential at each of these meetings and has already- played a key role in the development of each of the two plans to be discussed. We hope the citizen p ar ticipation at each of these meetings this week will continue. The CH2M comprehensive plan for the Hoodland area will be discussed Saturday, 2 p.m., at Welches Grade School. The Sandy River plan to include a 12.5 mile stretch of the river under the Scenic Rivers Act will be discussed on Wednesday in Sandy. A public in formational session will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. and the public hearing is set for 7 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall. We hope to see you there for both of the meetings. Public Involvement Needed In this w eek’s Post and in weeks to come, our readers will find many- articles from our state legislators. These articles are being printed to help keep the line of communications open between our legislators and area voters. Today there is a greater emphasis placed on encouraging public in volvement in the legislative process. And local newspapers play a key role in helping keep the public involved. This year also m arks the first time in Oregon for a person to keep up with what is happening at the legislature by use of a toll free number 1-800-452- 0290. By phoning this number, a person can find out the status of any bill in the legislature. Legislative Reports Representative Jack Sumner, District 55 to provide 100 per cent support for primary and secondary school operating costs There’s considerable concern here that the voters w ill say “ no.” There’s considerable support among House Republicans for an alternative plan. Last Tuesday six Republican members joined me in in troducing a bill that would provide for approximately 50 per cent school financing This distribution form ula would provide for statewide equal ization to meet the test of th e S e r r a n o - R o d r ig u e z decision s . . . and w ould provide considerable property- tax relief In my opinion, there is sufficient money in the General Fund this coming biennium to fund my proposal and at the same time make no substantive changes in the state's tax plans Representative Bob Stultz from Roseburg. Chairman of the Juvenile Code Committee, was the chief backer of a bill called to the floor by the Speaker of the House to make some major revisions in the way the courts handle juvenile problems Stults says the bill, “gets away from the concept of parents having a property right in the child, and makes the welfare of the child the primary consideration ” Other Representatives are considering bills to provide prepaid legal services—like health insurance works—to bring back the death penalty for certain violent offenses, and to make sure teachers can teach before they get a chance to find out by practicing on your child I am serving on the Com mittee on Revenue, and the Transportation Com m ittee Revenue meets every morning at 8 a m ; Transportation on Tuesday and Thursday at l p.m. Dem ocrats control both houses for the first time in a decade, and as the party of reform we’ve already moved to fulfill our pledge to restructure legislative rules and procedures, and to strengthen our ad m in istrative and research capabilities One important reform will prevent the bottling up of bills in com m ittee. In previous sessions, it took a two-thirds vote on the House floor to pull a bill out of committee Under the new rules, this can be ac complished by a simple majority Another major reform will prevent committee members from ducking the responsibility of voting on bills when politically sensitive issues are involved. Since some type of formal action is now required on each and every bill sent to com mittee, all members can be held accountable by th eir constituents for the way they voted—either to table a bill, send it on to another committe, or pass it out to the floor with a “ do pass” "do not pass” or “no” recommendation Committees are also required now to file reports which define the key points of bills, including intent. This will invite more serious scrutiny of proposed legislation on the floor. One of the most constructive changes initiated by the new Democratic leadership is the addition of legislative staff For the first time, each committee has competent research people to provide information and answers to questions which might affect final decisions on whether certain bills pass or fail. This new staff capability will serve to distribute power more evenly among the branches of government by cutting down on The 57th Oregon Legislature the previous tendency to rely “hit the ground running” as it heavily on bureaucrats and convened in Salem last week lobbyists for information Unlike the previous Oregon Legislative session, both Senate President Jason Boe, D- Reedsport. and House Speaker R ichard Eym ann, D- Spnngfield. were elected heads of their respective legislative bodies on the first ballots. I am very pleased with my One of the toughest tasks for committee assignments Once this Legislature will be working again I am on State and out the kinks in the Governor’s Federal A ffa irs and Local property tax relief-school Government. My third com funding reform bill, according mittee is a new one called to Rep Paid Walden Economic Development which The Governor is asking for a will be a continuation of the » par coot h M m in income i I Senator Ken Jernstedt, District 28 Representative Paul Walden, District 56 f worked on last summer and fall Nearly 100 bills were sent to committees on the opening day. The Senate met in the afternoon and sent about a dozen bills to committees, while the House assigned 74 bills to committees Among the Senate bills in troduced is a measure to lower the age of majority from 21 to 18 It would revise the exisiting state law making it legal for anyone 18 or over to consume alcholic beverages, have ac cess to race track betting, make blood donations, be bound by legal contracts, and receive life insurance payments House bills introduced in clude a number on natural resource related topics One of them being a complete recodification of the State's Fish and Game laws The number one priority before the Legislature will be to lower property taxes Governor Tom McCall addressed the Legislature presenting his tax relief program which would have the state assume most costs of running local schools Another high priority subject will be legislation affecting education and school affairs A number of groups are prepan ng education oriented bills including matters such as school board prerogatives, student re s p o n s ib ilitie s , teacher working conditions, and teacher training. Sandy firemen answer calls Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Probably one of the most important meetings ever to be held concert ng the Mt Hood corridor is scheduled for 2 p.m Saturday. January 20 at the Welches School The comprehensive land use plan, which has been in the making for over a year, will be presented to the public who will have the opportunity to express their viewpoints, ask questions and offer suggestions Everyone who is truly in terested in this area should be at that meeting, the “scenic drivers ', the recreations buffs, permanent and p art-tim e residents and John Q Public in general Since this has been declared an area of critical state concern, the public must be a determining factor in how growth should proceed, its quality, its quantity and its desirability. Once again, 2 p m Saturday. January 20 at the Welches School. M Kasper 1725 N E 64th Ave , Portland, Oregon 97213 To the Editor; I am writing this article in response to your story about Welches’ 4-wheel drive bus We do appreciate the coverage you have given us and we realize that it is extremely difficult to get all the facts straight However, there were some statements that I feel must be corrected To begin with, our 4- wheel drive does not drive roads that never get plowed The truth is that the county and State have done a remarkable job in scheduling to make our roads safe and passable There are. of course, times within a 24-hour period when snow can accumulate. The other correction that needs to be made is that the biggest advantage the 4- wheeler gives the district is the added safety for traveling the Government Camp run—not the backroads as indicated in the article. To be more precise, the bus travels Highway 26. Henry Creek Road, Faubion Road, and occasionally Lolo Pass All these roads are plowed Earl L. Covey, Principal Welches School Letter to the Editor: I would again like to go on record as being unalterably opposed to pending legislation which would ban commercial fishing on the Columbia Current statistics on winter steelhead to anyone interested, proves conclusively that sport fishermen are getting the lion's share of today’s catch For the record in 1970, the sport fisherm an on the Colum bia outcaught the commercials by a ratio of 13-1 and in 1971 they upped that figure by nearly 20-1 What then do they want? I think they want to totally eliminate commercial fishing which would then mean anyone without a boat and expensive gear would be denied finding this fine food available to them at their comer grocery store or super market The winter runs of Salmon and Steelhead are increasing rather than decreasing and this joint partnership established in 1969 is working out quite well The fish in the Columbia are for all the people Lets keep it that way, William Holmstrom Majority Leader Oregon State Senate Commissioners elect Tom Telford has been elected chairman for 1973 of the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners Telford this fall was elected to his second four year term of office. Commissioner Fred Stefani was the board chairman last year He had refused last week to continue as chairman and nominated Telford for the position Traffic convictions increase Oregon courts reported nearly 370.000 traffic violation convictions to the Motor Vehicles Division in 1972 The figure represents a six per cent increase over 1971, according to Chaster W Ott. Administrator of the agency Ott said the figure includes 10.847 convictions for driving under the influence of liquor, the highest number of con victions for that charge in the state’s history, a 29 per cent increase over 1971 During the year, Ott said the Motor Vehicles Division suspended the licenses of almost 50.000 Oregon drivers APPLY NOW There were 42,152 suspensions issued under mandatory provisions of the law, including the more than 10.000 for driving under the influence, and 6,896 suspensions issued under discretionary authority of the law Total suspensions last year decreased about 76* per cent from 1971. The decrease, despite the higher number of convictions, was due to changes in law that took effect midway through 1971 W e Train M e n to W o rk A$ L IV E S T O C K B U Y E R S H yOU Hdvp tom « hv«t*O<b experience we w ill tram you to buy cattle. $Heep and hogs For a local in terview , w rite today w ith your background Inciude your com plete ad- d r e it and phone number CATTLE BUYERS, INC. 4 4 2 0 M adnon Kansas C ity M o 641 11 NEED OFFICE HELP9 CHECK THE CLASSIFIEDS ¿“« • . • . • g < e/rfe ewd 71 P U IL IIH II'I Sandy b u a in e » « o n (n t h e S t a t e o f D ecem ber H CORY CLAC KAM AS CO UNTY < x m o o l i d a t r d R e p o r t o f ( . o n d i l i o n o f ** of O re g o n HANK a n d I h r m r a t i e ^ u b a i d t a r i e a a t t h e « lo a e o f , | 9 72 N one ¡N t [Aotieae A S S IT S Caeh and due from banks mctwdtng I 94t wnpueted debits U S Treaeur» secuntiea O bligation* of other U J ) G o vern m en t agenne« and roepirratione Obligations nt States and political subdivisions O ther securities including 1 L , Q 9 k - 0 0 __________ corporate storks T rad in g account m ru n tie« Federal funds sold and securities purchased under a g re e m e n t* to raaell O th er loans h an k po m i— fu rn itu re and ftaluree. and other sw ets representing bank premi— Heal estate owned other th an bank premises Investm ents tn eubaidiar— not m nenbdated C u sto m er’s lia b ility to thia bank on acceptances outstanding O th er assets T O T A L ASSETS 1 None 2 4L9 K T 20) n 00 t 7 )8 096 u 100 48 fc 121 000 1.18 674 00 21 72 281 471 114 662 844 148 It «0 11 82 1 )7 )2 4 )7 aaa sat ■ aa BIS as 844 68 414 40 None 7 None None None IIA B IIIT IIS D em and deposits -it m dividuala partnerships and rarp o rat inns T im e and savings depoa.ta of in d ivid u als. partnerships, and corporations r»wpaeita of U n ited States G overnm ent Deposits of States and political aubdi visions D e p o t s of foreign governm ents and official im titu tio a a ftepowta '>t commercial banks f ertiAed and ■IRcecs’ checks etc 4 5 1 None Non« | f t ) T o ta l dem and deposit a 'b i T o ta l tim e aad savings deposit» M t.
