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.

connected with the 1951 General
Appropriation bill when it was
before the House this spring.

barrel item carried by a vote of
32 to 29. A motion to cut the RFC
appropriation lost 69 to 65. Of 35
motions to cut appropriations,

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.
