Neither ger and his wife Mauriue FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY is essential to good government. As one of your United States Senators, I recently voted against proposals to cut Federal tax revenues, because I knew that we in Oregon needed S90 million to save the vast Klamath pine forest, S8 million to start John Day Dam, and nearly 5500,000 to begin the Fort Clatsop National Memorial in addition to the oversiding burdens of national defense in which we all .share. I refused to insult my Senate colleagues by advocating tax cuts and also seeking increased funds for niy own state, and thus they supported me on these Oregon projects. TODAY, right here in Oregon, a candidate for Governor is insulting our intelligence by telling us simultaneously that he will cut taxes and tluc he will also increase state benefits in many fields. This candidate is - Mark Hatfield. In full-page newspaper advertisements last week, Mr. Hatfield promised local property tax exemptions which would take scores of millions of dollars in assessed valuation off local tax rolls, and force millions of dollars in taxes to be made up by the rest of us. He also proposed state income tax reductions which could cost the State treasury $12 million or more for the biennium. YET, IN THE SAME ADS, Mr. Hatfield promised a new State educational institution at Portland, a program of state-financed scholarships for students, additional funds for cleaning up our rivers, more spending on conservation and state parks, state funds for agricultural emergencies, etc. You and I know that no candidate who is sincere and honest with us can, at the same time, pledge himself both to lower taxes and (o higher spending. Yet that is how Mark Hatfield is trying to win your vote. Having taken my stand in the U. S. Senate for fiscal integrity, I believe I have the right to blow the whistle on Mr. Hatfield's present irresponsible and contradictory promises. Mr. Hatfield now poses as the champion of tax reduction. Yet, last year, when Governor Robert D. Holmes called a special session of the Legislature to reduce state income taxes, Mr. Hatfield opposed such a call! In this, he even challenged his fellow Republican on the Board of Control, State Treasurer Sig Unander, who originally suggested the session which cut state income taxes. There are additional facts on u ill want to consider. All of us in the Pacific Northwest were thrilled when the U. S. Senate, last June 30, voted to admit our neighbor, Alaska, as the 49th State. I shall always be proud I was chosen' to preside over that historic rollcall. Alaskan statehood has long been a great cause for many people in Oregon. Thus, in 1955 the Oregon State Senate voted, 28-1, to ask Congress to admit Alaska to the Union. State Senator Holmes, now our Governor, voted with the bipartisan majority. The only t ote against Alaskan statehood u as cast by State Senator Mark ihtficld, yet Mr. Hatfield voted that session for resolutions of far less interest to the people of Oregon than the cause of statehood fot Alaska." The record of past acts tells more than campaign promises. At the height of the witch-hunting era, Governor Bob Holmes had the courage to vote in the State Senate against singling out Oregon's school teachers for the odious indignity of a special loyalty oath. Mark Hatfield actually was a legislative sponsor of this teacher's loyalty oath an oath of the same type as Governor Earl Warren condemned so indignantly in California, MY FELLOW CONSERVATIONISTS, who remember the long fight to preserve the Deschutes for recreation and sport fishing, should be particularly interested to learn that Mark Hatfield was a leading proponent of Pelton Dam, by working for legislation which the Oregonian editorially denounced as "a fantastic bill which would have nullified the long-standing state statutes governing water rights and usages." , THIS RECORD is something which Mr. Hatfield seeks to avoid by his reckless promises of lower taxes and more government spending. I have faith that Oregon's men and women are too intelligent and too well educated to be taken in by a political candidate iwho announces that government under him will spend more and tax less.
