Business h am stru n g , candidate claim s
S m a ll
business
is
hamstrung in Oregon, and
District 13 Sen Walt Brown
is campaigning in the
D istric t 12 Dem ocratic
prim ary for a chance to
change that.
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 . Brow n
M id.
"Business does not want
to come here, if it’s labor
intensive and they must
pay those rates," he M id of
workers' comp
A dollar collected for
workers comp in Oregon
pays out only 50 cents in
b e n e fits , m a k in g the
state's program the fourth
costliest in the nation
Brown also advocates
Oregon bailing out of Bon
neville Power Admtnistra
tion dependence, since
Oregon will be asked to
help
pay

d isaster The problem
arose when public utilities
across the river engineered
nuclear plant projects stif
fled by cost overruns
"We must find some way
to unhook ourselves from
B P A ," Brown advised
“ and develop new sources
of energy here of our own,
in
a d d itio n
to
conservation .”

Thompson calls fo r registration revisions
reached the conclusion that
voters would just as soon
find an alternative to same
day vo ter re g is tra tio n
because of the inequities
that can arise
The general consensus,
he M id, is that same-day
registration is "probably
not a good idea ’*
Residents of Clackamas
County don’t seem very
happy with the state's
method of voter registra
tion
After five meetings with
voters throughout the coun
ty
John
T h o m p so n .
Republican candidate for
state Senate District 14.
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. M id he would
favor a cut-off in voter
registration 30 days before
an election
“ A lot of people don’t
seem to realize that 90 per
cent of their property tax is
voter-approved," he M id.
He blamed off-year elec
tions that aren’t widely
