DEMOCRAT Your FRIEND in Congress ! Morrow County Democratic Central Committee Al Lamb, Chairman To the Editor: A recent article in your paper commented on the changes or rather lack of changes that would be made in Morrow coun ty should measure 10 (Repeals School District Reorganization Law) pass at the fall election. Mr. Abrams was right in one particular. Morrow county, under Repeal, would revert back to a county unit system from the present administrative district. The Repeal law itself would not return Morrow county to a sys tem of local districts. However I beg to differ with him on the rest of his statement, if the report in your paper is accurate. The county unit law' says: "Whenever any county adopts the county unit system, no elec tion shall be held in such coun ty to discontinue the county unit system for a period of six years from the DATE OF THE ELEC TION AT WHICH THE COUNTY UNIT SYSTEM WAS ADOPTED." As Morrow county voted for the county unit system in No vember 1958, in two years (should the reorganization law be repealed) the people of the county could, if they wished to, ask for an election to discon tinue the county unit system, and revert to their original lo cal districts. Morrow county never voted to discontinue the county unit sys tem it was merely declared an Administrative district with no vote involved. So the six years of trial would begin from the date of the original election. Of course if the Repeal law called for Morrow county to become merely an Unified district then the county would have to vote to become a county unit system and then wait six years for an election to recreate the original districts. But the Repeal law does not do this. Morrow county will automatically become a county unit system. The sponsors of the repeal measure do not care if Morrow county returns to its original local districts or not. What they do care about is returning the county to the status the people of the county voted for and thus give them the opportunity to judge for themselves whether they are satisfied with a county district or not. The county unit law gives them the privilege of returning to their local districts if they so desire. Under the present 1957 school reorganization law Morrow coun ty could, by the action of 10 people and the State Board of Education, have any amount of surrounding territory added to it. This could be done at a hear ing. The only notice that need be given is three notices posted and the school clerk notified in each district concerned. It does not need to be in the newspapers or advertised in anv other wav. The only way that the people could vote on such a proposition is if they petitioned for a vote each time it was tried. An example M o r r o w and Umatilla county could be made one school district without the people of any of the district having a vote on the question. . The Repeal law will remove this danger, This is another of ho changes, for good, that the Repeal law will make. Mary L. Hintz, Legislative Chairman Serve Our State Inc. Co-Sponsor of the Repeal (Editor's Note: According to the best information we can gather, Mrs. Hintz cannot say with certainty that the six-year period to which she refers above will date from the time that the county unit system was orig inallv created in Morrow county The article to which she refers is the one published in this paper reporting a school board meeting at which Attorney Bob Abrams stated the belief that the six-vear period would prob ably date from the time the county returned to a county unit system in the eventuality that the reorganization repeal meas ure should pass at the general election. It is sure that there is an area of uncertainty here that would call for a ruling by the attorney-general, or perhaps a court test, In which case addit ional time would be consumed. If Mrs. Hintz should be cor rect, however, there still would bp a matter of two years in which the county's educational svstem would be in a state ot We Will Deliver Your Processed Meat ifl Of Charge U"JtL Heppner, Lexington lone, WHOLESALE MEATS CUSTOM SLAUGHTERING SCHEDULE: Hoes Tuesday Cattle Wed..

If Attorney Abrams is correct, it would be six years or more. We do not believe any one can answer this question positively at this time. When voters cast ballots at the general election on reorgani zation repeal, they will give their mandate on their prefer ence as to whether they wish to "turn back the clock" in education. Should they vote against the repeal measure, they will make it clear that they be lieve that a return to local dis tricts would be going backward in education and that the better course to follow is to continue to pool reseources for better fa cilities, better curriculum, better trained pe:sonntl and conse quently better education for our children. To the Editor: Many fantastic claims are made about Ballot Measure No. 9, including a statement that "acres will be represented, not people." To prove how wrong these charges are, let's make a comparison between Multnomah county and Harney county. Multnomah county's 271,360 acres will be represented by 17 members in the House, or 1 rep resentative for each 15,962 acres. Harney county's 6,484,480 acres will have but !4 a representative or 1 representative for each 12,968,960 acres. So actually an acre in Mult nomah county is equal to 812 acres in Harney county under Measure No. 9. Responsible citizens will not be taken in by such claims. When the dust and smoke screen of our opponents is laid to rest, Oregon's fair minded voters will vote "Yes" on Measure No. 9. Paul A. Nordstrom 1024 Gans Street Lake Oswego, Oregon (Editor's' Note: To pursue Mr. Nordstrom's thoughts a little more, under the reapportion ment plan, the representative serving Morrow, Sherman and Gilliam would represent 2,621, 410 acres as compared to the 271,360 acres per representative in Multnomah. Unfler the present plan, going into effect in 1963, our representative must serve 5,776,000 acres, the combined to tals of Sherman, Gilliam, Wheel er, Morrow and Umatilla). To the Editor: This Social Security law and by law and also some outlaw is one of the most misunder stood setups in the U. S. today. There isn't ten people in a hun dred that know if they can get any Social Security or not. What it was intended for is OK, but it is being dragged through the mud as is a lot of our laws by careless politics. I was going to start a new party called Republicrat but they may think I am trying to over throw the government, so guess I will stay as I am, and vote for the best-man, if there are any. Yours sincerely. Andy Hayes To the Editor: About Time, Hello how does your time go fast or slow? When I was a child, time seemed not to move at all . . .
