"1 Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, July 27, 1950 Voters To Lcorn About "Balanced Plan" Campaign The Bi-partisan committee for the "Balanced Han" met in Salem Monday July 24, starting work on the election campaign to re apportion the Oregon legislature. The committee is headed by Marshall Swearingen, vice presi dent of the Oregon Farm bureau Swearingen said, " The commit tee's aim in the campaign is to tell the voting public what the "Balanced Plan" is and what is at stake in reapportionment. We intend to broadcast the four ba sic points of the "Balanced Plan". They are: Regular and fair apportion ment for all of Oregon. A representative for every county. Senators to represent no more than three counties. Any county limited to one quarter of the seats. Committee members attending the meeting were Charles McCul loch,. Baker, vice chairman; Ed Boehnke, Eugene; Freeman Hol mer, Salem; Judge Day, Med ford; Giles French, Moro and Henry Buehner, Portland. Swearingen said that addition al members of the state commit tee will be appointed in the near future. Re-activation of county com mittees who obtained the signa tures to put the "Balanced Plan" on the ballot is already taking place, Swearingen said. o- Absent at the Wrong Time Less than half of the 433 mem bers of the U.

Of 35 motions to cut appropriations, only 10 carried. A majority of the remainnig 25 lost out bv less than 20 votes. o . HIGHWAY COMMISSION Continued from Page 1 the state every road that is need ed, Dut that a shortage of high way funds made it necessary to curtail new projects and confine much of the program to improv ing the system already built. Some of these projects are ex pensive but are made essential by the ever-expanding traffic which has caused realignment, and in most cases reconstruction of hundreds of miles of highways. Charles Reynolds, eastern Ore gon's member of the commission, said that last year, when he was freshman member, he thought it was the proper thing to promise everything the various delega tions asked for. He soon learned that it was one thing to promise and quite another thing to fulfill, especially in view of the lack of funds to back up his promises. He said since he is no longer the freshman he had passed the pro. mising on to Mr. Mclver as one well qualified to handle the job. As eastern Oregon's representa tive, Reynolds said he would do his best to help solve the road problems of this area. Milo Mclver, Portland, admit ted he is the freshman member of the commission but withheld inything in the nature of prom ises, at least until he knew what i he people were asking for. R. H. Baldock recalled that he was located at Heppner for about a year when the Oregon-Washington highway was being built. He expressed the opinion that Mor row county is being well taken care of from a highway stand point and that the commission will always lend an attentive ear to our requests. H. B. Glaisyer, secretary of the commission, also recalled that he spent quite some time here in the earlier days of highway construe, tion. He admitted to having made suggestions relative to the loca tion of the Heppner Hill grade and thought he would be given credit for it until the grade stak es were set which didn't follow his suggestions. Judge Barratt recited some of the history of the Oregon-Wash ington highway, dwelling on the fact that the road was completed in 1922. It was first gravel sur faced from Heppner Junction to Nye Junction. Gradually, piece by piece, hard surfacing was ac complished with the exception of approximately 22 miles between Lena and Nye. He expressed the opinion that since this is a pri mary highway and that it has been in use for 28 years it is not asking too much to have the 22 miles hard surfaced. The judge's opinion was shared in by the visitors from Pilot Rock who also want to see some re building of the highway between that town and Pendleton. Jim Hoskins, as spokesman for his district, agreed that the Lena Nye section should be finished and also put in a good plug for the Pilot Rock project. Mention of the Heppner-Spray highway brought remarks from some that this is a road that is growing in importance and from the heavy traffic it is called up on to bear should be given the same treatment as that part of the road from Hardman to Cha pin creek is now receiving. Phil Mahoney urged the commission to give this project consideration at the earliest possible date due to the large volume of timber be. ing hauled from the Blue moun tains and the John Day region to the railhead at Heppner. Maho ney also asked the commission to inspect the north Min street bridge here before leaving town, a request that was complied with. The visiting delegation left at about 2:30 p. m. for Pendleton where the commission had an evening meeting scheduled with the Pendleton chamber of commerce.
