LEGISLATORS IN
1953
The legislative experience of the
members of the 1953 Oregon Leg
islature will be more extensive
than that of any other session in
the. state’s history.
In the Senate, holdover mem
bers and candidates whose chances
of being elected range from good
to heavy-favored odds, represent
a combined past service of 218
years. This is an average of almost
seven years experience for each
member.
Among the considered member
hip, Sen. Dean Walker (Polk and
Benton) has the longest record in
the Senate with 20 years continu
ous service.

Mayor Salvage and the five coun-

don’t profess to know all the answers
related to this much discussed finan
cial burden annually operating at a
deficit. Many parts to this puzzle
have been AWOL during the reign
of the present city administration,
not to mention the fact that Recorder
Hubbard says he has yet to see the
records for a $20,000 water depart
ment bond issue—the expiration date
of which is unknown.
Whether you use city water or
just like to hear tales of woe when
they are shouldered by others, you
had better submit your reservations
early to Recorder Hubbard who re
ports a rapidly-booked house for the
twenty-eighth.

In the House, experience ratings
' are lower as members are elected
for two years—in the Senate for
' four years. The combined legisla
tive experience of the potential
members of the House is 224 years,
an average of less than four years
each.
Rep. Harvey Wells (Multonmah)
will have the honor of the longest
membership in either branch of
the legislature. He has served in 12
regular and three special sessidns
in the House since 1921.
SAY STATE FUNDS WASTED
Accusations that state money is
being wasted by the State Depart
ment of Administration and Fi
nance were made at this week's
meeting of the State Board of
Control.
Secretary of State Earl T. New-
bry and State Treasurer Walter
J. Pearson, who brought the char
