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be repealed) the people of the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

confused uncertainty and would
be unable to make any major
educational advancement during
that time. 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.

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.

About Time,
Hello how does your time
go fast or slow? When I was
a child, time seemed not to
move at all . . . When I was
very young and played and
slept, time crept . . . When I was
older and laughed and talked,
time walked . . . When I be
came a woman, time ran . . . and
the older I grew the faster it
flew . . . Now I just say whoa,
where did you go? . . .
Can somebody show if day
light time is fast or slow? . . .
Don't move the hands on your
clock ... It might give you
a dreadful shock to find your
self all confused and with the
blues because you missed the
boat and wedding . . .
Speaking of hours, each day
has iust 24 and no mattcr'how
you slice it, you cannot gef one
more . . . You may start the day
with Hemingway or get up
while it is still dark and walk
in the Park ... It is how you
use your time that tells the
score ... I thought the people
voted daylight time out, a time
or two, isn't that true? . . . Why
hold elections? What are they
thinking about????
