THE SESSION
By Nicky Tom
In the April 15th issue of Life
magazine is an article about the
Nebraska legislature, another one
of the 28 now In session. Fifteen
have already adjourned, two will
meet this summer (isn't that a
dandy way to spend a summer?),
and three will meet next year.
Nebraska has the only one
house legislature In the nation.
The members are elected on a
nonpartisan basis and meet for a
six month session every two
years at a salary of $872.09 per
year. This is one of the three
states in the Union with neither
an income tax or sales tax, and
their legislature has managed so
far to operate the state, with an
annual budget of $150,000,000.
largely on property tax. This ses
sion the Nebraska legislature de
feated a bill calling for a com
bined 6ales and income tax.
They also deal with some of
the more important types of legis
lation, similar to what our mem
bers have been wrestling with In
Salem. Know what I mean?
Bullfrogs. The Life article did
not explain how they solved the
burning question of placing a
limit on bullfrogs, but I am proud
to be able to report that the Ore
gon House this week passed the
Senate bill on which I have kept
you posted. Now, unless the
Governor sees fit to' exercise his
vote, the bullfrog will once
again become a game fish In
Oregon.
The only really major bills
nassed bv the Oregon House dur.
lng the past week dealt with In
sition to the package of three
bills was based on tne premise
that increased industrial accident
benefits would harm the economy
of the state by placing an addi
tional payroll tax Duraen on two
of Oregon's major Industries-
lumber and agriculture.
The passage of House Bills
260, 450, and 502 means that ny
1959 the base rate for farmers
will have been increased from
$3.00 to $5.48 per $100 of payroll.
This represents an increase of
82.6.
Thpse were measures definitely
heneficial to labor, but labor is
not happy. An editorial in the
latest Oregon Teamster states,
"For more than 80 days now the
Wislature has been in session,
The total of its accomplishments
as far as the working men ana
women of the state are concerned
is exactly nothing." After be
rating the present Democratic ad
ministration for lack of action
on various labor-backed proposals
the editorial continues, "Party
labels mean nothing these days.
It's the individual who counts
and labor should remember this,
the next time political parties
come to it for blanket endorse
ments and support." Do you
suppose they will?
This might be as good a time
as any for me to get something
nut of mv svstom. I have been
thoroughly disgusted with the
adolescent behavior displayed on
the floor of the House by a good
many of the members this ses
sion. Even legislators need a
good laugh occasionally, but the
fun has gotten entirely out of
hand In the last few weeks. We
have sat through all too many
time-consuming parliamentary
hassles because so many of the
STATE FAIR SWITCH NOT DEAD
Altho the governor-sponsored
bill to abolish the state fair board
and turn the fair over to the
Department of Agriculture is still
held in committee, there are
many legislators who think a
fair board can't do as good as
a one-man-boss, particularly so
since Bob Stewart will be head
ing the big state department
within days. He has done a
signal service as chairman of the
important House Ways and Means
Committee.

and when the all-too-frequent

TO THE
EDITOR . . .
To the Editor:
The question where is Eight
mile goes back to Oregon Trail
days. You will find examples of
the same referring to the seve
ral creeks about The Dalles
where you will find 5 Mile, 10
Mile and 15 Mile creeks and
the same investigation will show
that Morrow county has canyons
bearing names which were ap
plied by early travelers.
Beginning at Wells Spring and
going west you find 6 Mile, that
is where the Oregon Trail crosses
near where the first Bunchgrass
post office, Ella, was established
April 24, 1882. The next canyon
is known as 4 Mile, that Is the
distance east of Cecil. Travel on
westward and vou will find 4
Mile canyon, then the next Is 8
Mile, all named by guides who
directed traffic over the Oregon
Trail.
Branches of Eight Mile head
along Hail ridge and Rood Hill.
Eight Mile post office was estab
llshed Dec. 12. 1884 and was di
rectlv west of Heppner on land
now owned by Delbert Emert or
John Bercstrom where a cross
road leads toward Rhea Creek
A. S. Haines was postmaster. The
office was later moved one-half
mile north to the Robinson ranch
and remained there until it was
moved a few, miles south and
west to the present sight now
known as Eight Mile. Cllve Hus
ton or Walt Becket can verify
the matter of the Eight Mile post
office as they were raised in the
vicinity.
