By BOB NEWCOMB
Of the Register-Guard
Issues ranging from taxes
to college hazing were brought
up Saturday by Lane County's
nine state senators and rep
resentatives as they spoke in
Eugene before an audience of
60 persons.
The occasion was the first
Legislative Forum of the year,
sponsored by the Eugene and
Springfield chambers of com
merce. Speaking about their first
week as members of the 1963
State Legislature and pros
pects in sight were Sens. Don
ald R. Husband, Edward N.
Fadeley and Glen Stadler,
and Representatives F. F.
Montgomery, Richard Ey
mann. Ed Elder, Veola Wil
mot, Gene Hulett and Richard
Kennedy.
During the two-hour ses
sion, the legislators spoke
briefly on subjects of their
own choice, then answered
questions from the floor. Sam
Hughes, chairman of the Eu
gene chamber's legislative
committee, served as moder
ator. Discussion of taxation was
led by Representative Ey
mann, logically, because he is
chairman of the House Taxa
tion Committee. But others
joined in.
In response to a question,
Eymann said that should
President Kennedy's federal
tax bill get through Congress,
it would actually mean that
Oregon's state taxes would
bring in an additional $8 mil
lion provided that the state
tax iaw remains unchanged.
"But Congress moves slowly,"
he said, "and we will prob
ably be out of session by the
time Congress has acted."
He explained later that if
Oregonians find themselves
with a smaller federal tax to
pay, they will also find them
selves with less federal tax to
deduct on their state tax re
turns. He also said that if the Gov
ernor's net receipts tax is
adopted, there will no longer
be any deductions from fed
eral taxes. He said although
"modification" is needed in
the Governor's proposal, "it
docs provide the vehicle for
tax reform."
Eymann elaborated also on
the proposed state net-profits
tax, which he and others are
introducing this session. Pro
posed, he said, is a 1 per cent
tax on "net income on the en
tire business community,
which would be distributed
back to the entire state."
He said further that the tax
would not eliminate the ex
isting state inventory tax,
but rather would reduce that
tax by from one-half to two
thirds the present amount.
College hazing got a tongue
lashing from Senator Stadler,
a member of the Senate Ed
ucation Committee.
He described the practice
as "a throwback to tribal
custom . . . stupid, asinine
negative indicating a lack of
intellectual development."
It is possible, he said, that
the education committee will
consider that problem as well
as others during the coming
months.
Stadler said also that he, as
vice chairman of the Joint
Constitutional Revision Com
mittee, will make his decisions
on matters coming before that
group "on the basis of guard
ing the rights of the individ
ual voter."
Mrs. Wilmot also com
mented on constitutional re
vision. "I already sense that
this committee (on constitu
tional revision) is going to
have some conflict," she said.
"Some members want only a
minimum amount of change.
Others want it to be more
far-reaching, she said. "I hap
pen to be in that second
group." ,
Senator Fadeley voiced two
protests. He laments the fact
. he said, that there is no Lane
County representative on the
powerful Senate Ways and
Means Committee. And he
termed the decision which
left both Lane and Benton
Counties off that committee
as "intentional."
He criticized the governor's
proposal to combine the State
Board of Higher Education
and State Board of Education.
Fadeley contended that the
suggestion to combine the
boards makes it necessary for
those boards to launch a fight
to prove there is no "over
lapping" of duties, thus pre
venting them especially the
board of higher education
from exerting sufficient ef
fort toward gaining necessary
state funds for educational
purposes.
Other subjects raised dur
ing the forum, and comments
they drew:
Proposed salary increase
for legislators Representa
tive Elder said, "I'm not go
ing to vote for the legislative
pay bill, until I see one (pro
posed) a little lower." (El
der reported also that he in
troduced a House bill last
week which would require
any institution for mental ill
ness to refer the case of any
discharged patient with homi
cidal tendencies to the local
or district health boards. "It
might also be applied to sex
offenders," he said.)
Representative Kennedy de
clared that he favors the
proposed pay increases for
the legislators. "It will," he
said, "assure Oregon of a
strong and vibrant state gov
ernment by assuring a 'pro
fessional' lawmaking body in
which anyone who wishes
may run for office. . ."
Prison conditions Rep
resentative Hulett, a former
state police officer, said he
recently toured the Oregon
State Penitentiary and found
the women's quarters there to
be "the most deplorable thing
I've ever seen in a correction
al institution."
The Legislature two years
ago appropriated funds to im
prove the conditions ..t the
prison, he said, but to date
the only evidence of it is a
new fence and sewer system.
Hulett accused Governor Hat
field of "playing patsie with
labor," when organized labor
groups protested construction
at the prison by convict labor.
Basic school support-
Kennedy: "Failure to increase
basic school support will not
only reduce the quality of
Oregon education, but will
also lead to substantial in
creases in real property taxes
at home." Mrs. Wilmot made
similar points favoring such
aid.
Registration of lobbyists
About half ,of the states
now have laws 'requiring paid
lobbyists to make public who
they represent and how much
they are paid Fadeley said.
The public has i a right to
know if its interests are being
protected as well as those of
special-interest groups, be
said.
Representative Montgom
ery, who is minority leader In
the House, said he has been
pleased by the committee ap
pointments made in the
House of Representatives this
session. He said he knows
only one representative to
have protested bis assignments.
Boy Hanged
In Garage
Of His Home
An 11-year-old boy was found
hanged at his home three miles
south of Junction City Saturday
afternoon.
Gary Lewis Hafley, the son
of -Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hafley of

tion City, apparently died be
tween noon and 1:15 p.m. when

rage by his older sister, accord
ing to Lane County Sheriffs
deputies.

An investigation of the death
Is still continuing.

Stocks Maintain Advance
NEW YORK Wl The stock
market last week kept its 1963
record clean and accomplished
net advance for the fifth
straight week despite some
heavy profit taking.
Brokers said the market had
been anticipating President Ken
nedy's tax cut proposal for
some time and, when it came,
the news provided an additional
spurt to prices but nothing much
in the way of new incentive,"
Two days after Kennedy pro
posed a $13.5-billion tax slash to
take effect in three annual
steps, the market underwent its
first sharp correction of the new
year. Other declines in 1B63 had
barely qualified as real drops.
Had the market decided to re
verse direction, here was a pos
sible impulse but tho next day
a vigorous rally wiped out all
but a fraction of the previous
day's decline.
The rally was accompamea Dy
news of Kennedy's proposal for
a record $98.8-mllion budget, in-
eluding $51 billion for military
spending, a peacctimo record,
Some of the bullish sentiment
was undoubtedly linked to the
Pres dent s financial program
but Wall Street was soon made
aware by Washington reports
that a legislative battle would
precede enactment of any alter-

ations in the tax structure or
the budget.
Underlying the strength of
stocks, enough to overcome long
overdue profit taking, was the
sentiment, frequently expressed,
that the Presidents program
would tend toward inflation, de
spite his denials.
The Dow Jones industrial av
erage this week rose .92 to
672.52.
The Associated Press average
of 60 stocks gained .3 at 252.3,
making its fifth straight weekly
advance.
While the gains in these av
erages were trifling, advances
among individual stocks out
numbered declines by 774 to
529 among the 1,495 issues
traded. New highs for 1962-63
totaled 134 and new lows 11.
Also helping sentiment on
Wall Street was Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's East Berlin
speech, regarded as dimming the
prospects for any big interna
tional crisis which might upset
the stock market.
Booming news from the auto
industry and prospects that for
the first time in more than 10
years Detroit would put two
outstanding auto years back-to-back,
helped the stock market.
