The Lewis & Clark Col lege law professor told the Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce Tuesday that discriminatory rail prices and costly workers com pensation make Oregon u n a t t r a c t iv e to new business the state hopes to attract. Small business, being labor intensive, is especial ly crippled by government costs including workers' compensation that is the fourth costliest program in the nation. State agriculture recoils from another jolt in rad rates that "discriminate" against Oregon. Brown said, adding Midwest con cems have always treated Oregon "like a colony ” W hat suffers. Brown M id. are people like turkey growers who depend on Midwest feed Also, there is a lack of slaughterhouses in Oregon, since livestock is shipped out of state for processing S m a lle r O reg o n businesses a re b eing bought out by larger out side conglomerates who buy them to milk them and then "put them out for slaughter," Brown said with references to Salem bean packing firm s and John s Furniture High cost of labor is la rg e ly to b la m e fo r Oregon business short com ings. Brown M id "The glove industry in Portland is almost out of business now, because more people are willing to buy Communist Chinese gloves," he M id ‘"Buy American.' now is almost a dirty word Overseas, they don’t buy our goods, though—just our ideas." Sen B ro w n sa id American labor has priced itself "out of the market So i t ’s not s u rp ris in g American business goes abroad." Brown M id campaigning door to-door opened his eyes to a new distribution of w ealth th at favors laborers. " I find people living in expensive homes w ith campers and boats, who work through labor unions These are houses and campers small business people w ould lik e to afford " Sen. Brown said a new senate task force he’s join ed could develop legislation to help state business get rolling again The task force probably w ill encourage a pro gressive corporate excise tax to help small business and work to clean up Oregon’s workers comp e n ta n g le m e n ts .

Thompson cited the re cent election in Antelope, held to disincorporate the city, where followers of an Indian guru swarmed to register to vote at the last minute and kept the town alive over the objections of longtime residents Thompson, a Welches resident.
