SANDY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JA NU AR Y IS, 1973
Important Meetings Set
There are two important meetings
in the Sandy-Hoodland area this
week The first will discuss planning
in the Hoodland area and the second
will discuss the protection of the
Sandy River gorge.
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 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

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.

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
