County Legislators
Discuss Salaries
By BOB NEWCOMB
Of tha Rejlitor-Ourd -
Varying sentiments regarding the proposed salary in
creases for state legislators were voiced Saturday in Eugene
by several of Lane County's state senators and representatives.
That issue and others were considered at the second weekly
Legislative Forum of the year sponsored jointly by the Eugene
and Springfield Chambers of Commerce. About 80 persons at
tended the session.
Attending Saturday's forum were Sens. Ed Fadelcy, DEu
genc; Donald Husband, R-Eugene, and Glen Stadler, D-Spring-field
and Rep. Richard Eyemann, D-Mohawk; Ed Elder, R-Eu-gene,
Richard Kennedy, D-Eugene, and Veola Wilmot, D-Eu-Rene,
Lano County's other two representatives, F. F. "Monte"
Montgomery, R-Eugcnc and Gene Hulctt, D-Eugcne, cwre not
present.
All three state senators expressed varying degrees o oppo
sition to the proposal to increase legislative salaries. Tho bill,
which was passed last week by tho House of Representatives,
Is now up for a voto In the Senate.
Said Stadler: "1 propose to vote against the salary bill."
Ho added that he docs not consider the proposed $250 a month
salary and $20 a day in expenses too much to pay legislators,
"although my preference would bo for $150 a month plus $15
a day expenses to start with, and with perhaps step increases.
"Tho timing is what I object to," he said.
Fadelcy said ho was inclined to agree with Stadler. "Tho
timing seems rather rapid," ne said, "and the proposal comes
at a time when the Legislature is looking for new sources of
revenue."
Fadcley said that during the last campaign ho committed'
himself publicly to a salary increase for legislators lower than
the present bill. "I'm a stubborn fellow," he said, "and I'll
atick with it."
Said Husband: "There should always bo a substantial
amount of servlco in public service." Tho amount of a legis
lator's salary should not be so high as to make holding political
office appear more Important than efforts given to public
service, ho said.
Husband added, however, that "if anybody is overpaid (In
state government) it is the private secretaries."
Husband said many stato legislators employ their wives as
secretaries, who receive salaries of $510 a month on tho basis
of $17 a day for seven days a week.
Mrs. Wilmot answered that she considered the salary meas
ure as "fair," and added, "I do know there will be recon
sideration of the secretaries' pay when the (legislators') sal- 1
cry issue has been settled."
Kennedy said he believes the proposed salary increases
should be adopted. Ho pointed out that many legislators do
not stop working at the conclusion of a session, but continue
serving as members of interim committees throughout much
of the year.
Eymann remarked that Lane County's entire ninc mcm
ber state legislative delegation is paid an amount in salary
and expenses equal to what it costs to provide for just one
congressman at Washington.
Elder, one of 18 representatives who voted against the
salary proposal in the House last week (41 representatives
voted for it) said his main reason for opposing it is because
"it is too high." He said, "It cost me just $2,400 to serve at
the last Legislature, and this time I'll have some spare money."
On the matter ot constitutional revision, Mrs. Wilmot,
Stadler, Elder and Husband all had views to express.
"I anticipate a real struggle getting it through the (con
stitutional revision) committee." Mrs. Wilmot said.
Stadler contended that the state Constitution is due for
revision. The present document, he said, contains amendments
which control the "sport of dueling." And ten years ago, he
said, the voters passed a "liquor-bythcdrlnk" amendment. It
shares the same authority in the Constitution as freedom of
speech, Stadler said.
Of the proposed new constitution, Husband declared it to
be "a good document, and one that should go through (tho
Legislature) as a whole" before being passed on to the state's
voters. He said, however, he expects amendments to be made
to it before it gains approval.
Elder expressed confidence in the proposed new consti
tution's ability to gain approval of both the House and the
Senate. "1 think they can rework this thing and come up with
something that the Legislature can submit to the voters," he
said.
firm of Kirk, Wallace & McKinley.
Rockrise was high' in his
praise of Thurston High
bcftool's design for its "simo e
elegance and its strong architec
tural statement." It has, he said,
"a highly unified quality," with
the various units linked by cov
ered walkways and sharing a
common courtyard.
Rockrise called the $9.70-oer-
square-foot construction cost of
the $1.2 million high school
"fabulously low."
The First National Bank, de
signed by - Balhiser, Seder h
Rhodes, also was lauded by the
judges for its many artistic de
tails, ine building features
maximum use of glass surround
ing the banking area. The vault
and service areas are housed in
a contrasting "masonry block,"
with the only openings deeply
recessed into the ends of that
block.
Fairview Home
Wilmsen, Endicott & Un-
thank's second award was re
ceived for that firm's design of
two buildings at Fairview Home.
The buildings, according to
the judges, met requirements of
the specialized treatment of the
institution for the training of
patients prior to their release
back to society.
The buildings, constructed at
a cost of $127,000, were designed
to aid patients establish a con
tact with a more normal envir
onment," according to the
judges. .
Dean Morris, with the firm
of Morin & Longwood, served
as chairman of a three-man Hon
ors - Awards committee, which
arranged for the judging and
awards banquet.
Freeze Eases
In Europe
LONDON Wl The tempera
ture rose almost everywhere in
Europe Saturday and the death
toll from a prolonged cold
streak rose with it.
Weather forecasters were un
certain if the break in the 36-
day ice age would last. Europe
remained buried under a vast
accumulation of ico and snow.
The latest tally put the num
ber of winter victims at more
than 300112 of them In Brit
ain. Figures for other coun
tries included: Yugoslavia 39,
Italy 30, Spain 30, Greece 22,
Holland 20, Belgium 18, West
Germany 32, Turkey 7, France
4, Sweden 4, Austria 6, Norway
3, Luxembourg 1.
There were no figures from
behind the Iron Curtain.
But in Japan, where the snow
accumulations was at an all
time high in 77 years of record
keeping, blizzards killed 37.
Most of the casualties were
from avalanches and the col
lapse of wooden houses buried
by as much as 10 feet of snow.
Snow has been falling in west
ern Japan for 16 days, and 2,400
passengers were removed from
snowbound trains Saturday.
UO Republicans

The University of Oregon
Young Republicans said Satur

tatives last week approved the
proposed measure 41-18, and

would increase each legislator's
salary to $3,000 a year plus $20
a day for expenses the first 120
days of each session.
The UO group, headed by
Tom Hoyt, chairman, has adopt
ed a resolution declaring that
