In an Interview after meeting
with tn i ru r M..rw County
Chamtn-r I'wmmMif Monday.
WraiheiMd. repreentllvt ot

Weatherford .said.
Also cited m the fact that
the State Highway Commission
recently discussed buying a
$100,(I0 twin-engine airplane out
of surpluses.
TIhwi group operate with
dedicated money, as do the Wel
fare Commission and the Fish
and f'.ame Commission. There Is
no adequate control over their
expenditures' the representative
charted.
"I don't think It Is ton far
wrong for the legislature to have
a line Item budget. The people
have a right to know how their
money Is to be used through
such a budget the same as Is
required of county courts, public
schools, cities and municipal
ities." he said.
He said he was In favor of re
organizing the state government
so better control could be ob
tained over agencies of the state
government and stressed that a
savings to the taxpayer could
be made by such reorganization.
Dams Suggested
A "series of dams" on both
Rock Creek and Willow Creek
was quoted as a long time pro
motion. He said such dams could
be made use of for recreational
purposes, flood control, and also
as areas to raise fish for the
the great loss of fish through
fishing Industry. He mentioned
recent dams on the Columbia
Plu..p nnil said. "If we don't do
something about it, we will be
out of fish In less than 10 years."
niirh frnk'ht rates In the Hepp-
hi'lno Invcstleated
by a committee appointed by the
chamber at Weatherford's re
quest. In commenting on this he
said he had made the request
as the result of complaints from
businessmen of the area. He said
the results of the Investigation
would be used as part of a state
wide survey to see what could
be done through the legislature

He runs his spread by driving
the sheep to the Boardman lo

ing camp, covering more than
100 acres, has been built at the
location one half mile off High
way 30. 11 miles west of Board
man. Here lambs are born and
tended before being released on
the range In bands of 100 with
Basque sheephcrders. In the
early part of June the sheep are
trucked back to the summer
range around Parker's Mill where
the estate owns 4200 acres of
land and leases additional lana
from the Klnzua Corp. and the
U. S. Forest Service.
