A Legal Penalty on Public Service
In the Garette-Tlme of October 11. 1X2. wa an editorial.
"Unfair Law to Public Servant." which had a Its preml that
the slate law prohibiting public officials from having any
pecuniary Intercut In that body they serve la an unjust law.
At the time that editorial was written. It wu lllccal for a
city councilman, a school board member, or any other public
official to aell good or service to the agency which he served.
The 10C3 legislature amended this law. and aa we under
atand It. a public officer may have a pecuniary Interest In the
agency he represents up to a maximum of $500 per fiscal year.
This ts step In the right direction, but It U still unrealistic In
the case of small towns and works an injustice.
In Heppner last week. Councilman Earl Ayres submitted a bid
on the city's new fire truck on behalf of the firm he owns,
Heppner Auto Sales. The bidding waa open and competitive.
The bids were opened at a time when Ayres waa not present,
by his own choice.
His bid was low bid. It met the specifications set up for the
truck. But the contract has not been awarded because under
the law. he apparently Is not legally qualified to bid. He is a
councilman. City Attorney Bob Abrams Is still seeking an
official ruling, which Is slow In coming, but this certainly
appears to be the situation.
As was pointed out in the 1962 editorial, such cases certainly
are discouragements for businessmen In a small town to offer
themselves for voluntary public service. It amounts to a legal
penalty for the person who Is willing to take his time and
devote the effort to work on behalf of his fellows.
This Is a law that has almost necessarily been violated
many, many times, not only in Heppner but across the state
In most small towns.
What businessman has there been who has served on the
council who at some time has not sold something to the city?
For example, newspaper editors have served on the council
here. They have printed budgets for the city, have done Job
printing. . . ,
In some instances, if the city did not use the business
services of its own officers, it would be required to go out
of the county for them, and this would not be in the public
Interest, for sure.
The new $500 maximum law Is discriminatory, it seems to
us. It opens the door for a businessman whose goods or merch
andise are composed of small items, but it shuts the door in
the face of the merchant who traffics in larger goods. An owner
of a variety store, for instance, could sell quite a few items to
the city while serving on the council and be legal. A man like
Ayres, whose merchandise is over $500, is penalized. It is his
business to sell cars and trucks.
It is quite clear, of course, that the statute was set up to
safeguard governmental agencies from being victimized by
those who would use their positions for ill-gotten gains. This
would seem to be more of a possibility in larger towns or
agencies where public doings are not quite so close to the
people as they are in small towns. In larger places, thousands
of residents would have no contact at all with theix public
officers, but this is not true of small towns. Virtually everyone
in the small community knows his public representatives and
all about them. . . .
It would not be necessary to eliminate the statute to correct
the situation. It could be amended again so that in cities, say,
less than 5O00 population an officer might have a pecuniary
interest in the city's business of over $500 per fiscal year
provided that he wins the business on open and competitive bid.
It could be stipuiarea in me iw uwi wc iaiumiw
could not participate in the awarding of the contract, either
as a councilman or a member of a committee. Also, if there
would be a thought that fellow councilmen might award a
contract to this fellow servant out of loyalty to him, it could
be stipulated that such an officer could not receive a contract
unless his bid was the low bid.
' Alternative to a change in this law is rather unpleasant to
contemplate, unless It is winked at and violations occur without
challenge.
The time will come when every local businessman In a
small town will be unable to be so generous as to serve on a
public body without any remuneration except the ironic criti
cisms of his fellow citizens. This will narrow the reservoir
of potential candidates to sucli an extent that good municipal
government in small towns will be seriously impaired. A small
town needs the wisdom and experience of its good business
heads, although it could certainly stand to have representation
from other walks of life besides businessmen.
For the good of the small governmental agencies, and in
fairness to those willing to serve as officers, this unduly restric
ting law needs another amendment It is hard to see how an
officer could commit any skulduggery under a competitive
bidding system with the qualifications indicated above. On
the contrary, this would be a safeguard and in the best interests
of good and democratic government
. With seven city officers in Heppner to be elected in November
this is a very pertinent matter at the present time.

We'd Just about be willing lo affirm to the Portland woman,

No, we don't aay there aren't any rattlesnake In Morrow
county. After all. Dr. C. M. Waener admit that he ha treated
two cases of rattlesnake bite (or upectcd) In the 10 odd year
he ha been here. And maybe by now County Arnt Nrl
Anderson ha seen his first rattler, although he aald a year or
two ago that he had vet to ee one In the county denplte hi
widespread rambling.
But Morrow Is a big county, and the rattler confine them-
selves pretty well to certain area, with an occasional straying.
The only time we've seen one wa when someone brought a deid

Now In Gilliam or Grant county. It might be different NUtad
reported that his son went out hunting rhukars the other day
and did better on rattlers, killing five, than he did on the
taunting raucous chukars. But they weren't In Morrow county.
When you come right down to It, Mr. Portland Hunter,
rattlesnakes are getting pretty well dispersed acros the tate.
When we lived In Douglas county, they used to get up partle
to go rattlesnake hunting and they'd clean out dens of 700
or S00 along the Umpqua River, which gave the area quite
I some publicity, too. (When they came to ask u to Join them.

county, between Stayton and Mehama 1 Rattlesnake hill, and
the residents there have a keen respect for Its reputation. It
probably would be hard to find any county In the state that
could claim It Is rattlesnake-free.
So maybe, If a hunter wanted to be real prepared, he might
bring a snake bite kit along as a matter of precaution.
It is our understanding that quite a few hunters go Into
the woods well stocked with snake bite remedy, but we doubt
If it Is the kind that would really provide first aid If one of the
buzztails actually struck them.

To the Editor: . .
Concerning your editorial on
Mr. Tom McCall of August 27,
I would simply like to make
two points. First, the programs
which Mr. McCall has been
talking about in his campaign,
such as mental health, economic
development, correctional insti
tutions. Juvenile delinquency,
and vocational training are ail
directly influenced by rederai
programs and presidential phil
osophy. Millions of federal dol
lam have been SDent in these
programs and millions more will
be SDent under the present
Congress and President Johnson.
For example, the simple fact
is that there are $325 million
available to the state of Oregon
as a direct result of the Johnson
tax cut. I
State Senator Alfred H. Cor
bett has never implied that the
people of Oregon should rely
Ktrictlv on federal programs. But
he is acutely aware that these
programs are vital to tne oe
veloDment of our state's re
sources and the care and pro
tection of our individual citizens.
No one has said, including Sen
ator Corbett. that eettine "em
broiled in federal programs is
easy." But to suggest ignoring
these programs is near-signtea
and Isolationists.
Rpcondlv. mav we point out
that Senator Corbett, as well as
being an active numanuarian
and civic leader, has one of the
finest legislative records ever ac
cumulated in Oreeon state gov
ernment Just to mention a few
bills Senator Corbett has worked
on, In the area oi ium
Chief legislative sponsor of
the Metropolitan Youth Commis
sion, 1959; co-sponsor of summer
work camp program for boys,
1959: sponsor of bill to test all
infants for PKU. 1963; co-
ennnsnr of IOUr-vear tuiiew
status for Portland State College,
1953; co-sponsor oi bona issue
nr i-bccrnnms for hieher edu-
cation and for community coi
in Vh area of human rights:
pn.cnnnsnr eauaf rights to use
nt nuhlif accommoaauuns, voo,
co-sponsored bills to eliminate
discrimination in employment
and in housing, 1957; co-sponsored
bills to provide assistance
to persons displaced by high
ways, 1959; co-sponsored bills to
strengtnen civu ngnis,
In the areas of correctional
institutions, mental health in
stitutions, he instituted or pro
hiiTa dealing with: con
struction of Dammasch Hospital,
1953; construction or correcuunai
intormoHiatp institution. 1953;
stricter sentencing of sex-offenders,
1955; gifted children pro-
gram, laoa; youm wum w"
1959; Metropolitan louin
miinn 1959: Mental neaun
tally retarded. 1963.
From this list, you will notice
that Senator Corbett sponsored
the legislation establishing the
Metropolitan Youth Commission,
for which McCall later worked.
In 1953, he proposed a bill for
an Intermediate correctional In
stitution, which McCall now of
fers as a "new idea."
Senator Corbett has always
said that the best program in
government Is the solution of
problems at the community
level, and in acting on that prin
ciple, he has attended over
2,000 committee meetings in this
state seeking community solut
ions for community problems. He
is simply not willing to ignore
the fact that Oregon is part of
the United States, of the United
States' federal programs and
therefore directly Influenced by
Presidential and party phllos
ODhV.
