At the Beginning
Senior high school students of Morrow county, like those
across the country, will b in the limelight next week at
commencement exercises. As the name implies, this is the
time of beginning for them.
Here is where the real transformation starts. They are no
longer "kids" but young adults. Maturity develops at an ac
celerated pace from here on.
The tendency is to congratulate high school seniors for
having "made it" or for having completed their schooling. But
in today's world with its more complicated problems and
more complex education, high school seniors are just getting
started.
We would, then, congratulate them for reaching the start
ing line of adulthood. This Is the time when they must really
buckle down and tackle the tough schedules of college to
prepare for their chosen fields or get into the vocational
world if they do not go on with their formal educations.
Maybe the right message for these young men and wom
en who have caned successful high school careers is. "You've
done fine so far. Now go on and build on this good founda
tion." It is one of the ironies that adults watching these young
people feel so strongly for them, so interested in their suc
cess, but the high schoolers never realize it. Adults try to
express these feelings but sometimes they are so inept and
awkward that the youngsters don't get the message.
This is true in writing an editorial on the subject. Every
time we seek to congratulate the graduates it seems to come
out as a rather weak valedictory address. If there seem to
be old cliches expressed again, the classes of 1966 will just
have to be so generous as to concede that we really mean
what we write, and that we. like all other adults, have the
best and most hopeful thoughts for these seniors.
Thanks to the Losers
With the primary election over, the public at large might
take a moment to doff hats to the losers.
This was an election of some lopsided contests. Everyone
knew this would be so that the lesser candidates didn't
stand a chance. On the other hand, in a few instances, there
were some pretty fair races.
But let's think of these candidates who toss their hats in
the ring with little real hope of winning. Why do they do
it? It costs money, time and effort In some cases their can
didacies only bring wry smiles from those who know they
don't have a chance.
One reason they do it is because they are interested enough
to participate. They may have some particular cause that
they wish to promote, or something in government bothers
them and they wish to change it
No matter what the reason if it is legitimate, and most
are these candidates gain in respect no matter how badly
they bow in defeat After all. they did have the fortitude and
the courage to make the race.
Suppose only the apparent winners entered an election?
What would happen to democracy then? A ballot would be
composed primarily of uncontested entries, and this smacks
of a system that we abhor.
We are fortunate that there are those who emerge from
our numbers who step out and issue a challenge, no matter
what the odds against them. To make democracy really work,
every citizen should do something to contribute in a civic
way. If he has the urge to seek public office and thinks he
has something to offer, more power to him.
Thanks should be extended to these losers. They did make
the race and that enhances them in esteem of their fellows
or should.

THEIR LAST FILL MEASURE
LtMfrArW its'
Chaff
and
Wes
NO MATTER how dull an elec
tion shapes up to be on the
ballot, it always seems to gen
erate excitement before it is
over. A person may not be at
all excited about it in the time
of campaigning, but when the
returns start to come in. he can
become engrossed in any con
tests which may develop.
It's sort of like watching an
athletic contest in which the
spectator has no real interest.
Before it s over, he picks his
favorite and may find himself
rooting fervently for that team
before the end of the game.
So it was with the primary
this year. There were few con
tests to create excitement, but
the public found some in which
to become engrossed.
Locally, the Butch Laughlin-
Haskell Sharrard race on the
Democratic ticket for assessor
was the one which captured the
public. Quite a few came to the
Gazette-Times during the course
of election night for returns.
and the telephone was ringing
well before opening time Thurs
day to get the results.
It was a pretty good race with
Laughlin coming out on top,
296 to 215.
THIS ELECTION was one of the
easiest to cover that we have
ever experienced. The ballots
were not long, and the county
counting boards were right on
their toes. Complete returns
were in by 10:30 p.m., and the
Oregon Election Bureau had
the Morrow county returns com
plete before 11 p.m.
We recall some counts In oth
er parts of the state that went
as long as 60 hours before being
complete one with "bedshcet"
ballots in a presidential elec
tion year primary'.
ELECTION BOARDS dese rve
votes of thanks from the pub
lic, and this includes the count
ing boards. Probably minimum
wage laws don't apply to them,
but the personnel on these
boards get only $1 per hour for
their work. This scale was set
many years ago and has never
changed. It takes people with
genuine civic interest to work
for that kind of pay, and it is
a pretty technical job with a
lot of legal points to consider.
While these boards may not
be able to take care of an elec
tion and get out the returns as
speedily as voting machines
and computers, they certainly
are much more economical for
the taxpayer.
We noted that voting ma
chines for Multnomah county
will cost some $900,000 and it
would be double that if the
county did not already have
electronic equipment to facili
tate the procedure. It will .still
take some personnel to super
vise and operate the voting,
and as we understand it, paper
ballots will continue to be used
with the system Multnomah
plans to employ.
GOING BACK to that election
that took 60 hours to com
plete the count, some of those
on the counting boards just
about "broke down," but they
didn't actually go haywire like
the computer set up for the Ore
gon Election Bureau Tuesday
night.
What consternation that must
have caused!
The telecasters maintained
their composure, but how inter
esting it would have been to
get a glimpse behind the scenes
to see the sweat and tears that
the breakdown caused!
Probably this will cause some
repercussions for some time to
come. It's pretty hard to elim
inate the human element even
in this age of automation and
mechanization.
ON THE LOCAL SCENE our
election moved like clockwork
with everyone doing his job.

She'll work all day and far in
to the night and never slow
down a bit. In the 14 elec
tions she was going until 4 a.m.
and was just as lively at that
time as she was at 8 a m. the
previous morning. Then she
was down at her office again
by 8 a.m. to handle the follow
up chores of the election.
In this election, she went to
lone and Lexington to pick up
the paraphernalia and returns
from elections there while Sher
iff C. 1. D. Bauman made the
trip to Hardman. Meanwhile
Mrs. Paul Slaughter and Mrs.
Frank (Mary) Marlowe called
In results from Irrigon and
Boardman on cue. and the
counting boards in Heppner
came through on the dot with
early returns from Heppner so
that we could trickle our first
results to the Oregon Election
Bureau to form a part of the
river of results reaching them
from around the state.
However, with the electronic
giant on the fritz, the results
statewide remained a trickle
well into the night. But with
the fine cooperation of the lo
cal folks, we got our part of
the job done quickly and could
relax In watching the turmoil
on the statewide scene.
THIS ELECTION in Oregon was
heralded as a battle between
the "hawks" and the "doves"
on the Vietnam Issue, and it
appears now that the "hawks"
won. But while these two spe
cies fight it out. could it be
that the young men in Viet
nam are the "pigeons" in the
controversy? To an appreciative
nation they should loom as
eagles.
ALREADY some of thee "rld
timers" are arriving for their
annual visit to Heppner In ad
vance of the Memorial Day pic
nic. First one we note on the
scene is Art Crawford, who got
here nearly a week In advance
from California to be sure to
be on time. We hope some of
our returning Heppnerites can
take pitv on us and bring some
rain from their more moist cli
mates Wouldn't it be glorious
if it rained hard all day for
the Memorial picnic?
THIS WEEK we welcome to our
staff Mrs. Bob (Marion) Ab
rams who will assist with lo
cals and society items around
Heppner as well as perform
other tasks unique to the week
ly newspaper business.
We'd like to have more lo
cals. Have you taken a trip, had
company? Has a son gone to
service or been home on leave?
We'd like to report it. Call Mrs.
Abrams at the G-T office on
Friday or Monday afternoons,
preferably, with your news.
Also added to the staff is
Randv Stillman who will work
as printer's apprentice. In pop
ular newspaper talk, Randy is
a printer's devil and this makes
him low man on the totem pole,
so to speak, but he has an Im
portant job here, and his work
will contribute to a better pa

TO THE
EDITOR . . .
To the Editor:
The petition now circulating
tv place IS percent limit on
property taxes Is serious at
tempt to undermine the Oregon
tax structure. It deserves no
pi. to on the election ballot.
Unfortunately, many Oregon
tans know little about this In
itiative except that It promise
them "tax relief." What they
should recognize Is that the
1H percent measure will almost
urelv result In NEW TAXIS or
drastic Increase In existing
l non-property) taxes for all of
us.
In essence, this lll-advlsed
measure consists of four provis
ions: (1) to limit property tax
rates to 14 percent of market
value; (2) to repeal an exist
ing constitutional guard against
open-end spending: (3) to hand
over local control of tax district
budgeting to a state agency,
and (4) to permit unlimited
spending under certain circum
stances. It 1 estimated that the bill
would deprive local govern
ments throughout Oregon of
$127.8 million a year revenue
that Is essential to maintain
and operate our schools ,fire and
police protection, and other pub
lic services.
This money must be replaced,
but how? The measure makes
no provision for alternate sourc
es of revenue, and Its support
ers shrug off the question by
saving. "That's the Legislature's
problem."
We submit that the only sol
ution would be to impose now
or drastically increased taxes at
the state or local level taxes
that would Increase our Indi
vidual tax loads. Furthermore,
the ll percent bill itself pro
hibits a vote on raising neces
sary local tax funds until at
least Mav. UKIM. During the in
terim period. local governments
would be faced with trying to
operate on 50 percent or less of
their current budgets. Should
thev be unable to do so, local
control would pass to the State
Tax Commission, which would
then decide how many teachers,
policemen, etc.. your community
could retain.
As spokesmen for Oregon In
dustry and organized labor, we
urge responsible voters to re
ject the l'li percent property
tax measure. Granted that prop
erty taxes mav be high in many
areas of the state, the solutions
posed by this bill are Invalid
and could prove to be disas
trous. The cure, in this case, is
far more dangerous than the
disease itself.

To the Editor:
Your newspaper recently re
ported on a talk given by mar
ina owner Frank Garred before
hte Heppner-Morrow County
Chamber of Commerce. As a
gillnetter who has fished the
Columbia River for 35 years, I
take exception to his attack on
commercial fishermen as being
responsible for the declining
salmon runs.
Mr. Garred's statement that
"half the fish were gone before
Bonneville Dam was built" has
no basis in fact. As he should
know, prior to the dam's com
pletion, there was no way to
record he size of salmon runs.
His comparison Is thereafore
meaningless.
Garred goes on to say that
"Gillnet.s take 90 of the fish.'"
This just Isn't so, and can be
proved wrong by examining the
Oregon Fish commission rec
ords. Over the past ten years,
our commercial catch on the
Columbia River was less than
45Tr of the total salmon and
steelhead runs. Last year, for
instance, an estimated 1,,'SOO.OOO
of these fish entered the river,
of which we caught 556,000
about 43.
During the same year, based
on Washington State Depart
ment of Fisheries estimates, ov
er '110,000 fall silvers alone were!
taken by sportsmen. Those fig
ures do not include the tremen
dous offshore commercial troll
catch, nor the sizeable upriver
Indian take.
loot's examine one more Gar
red statement. "If we sit idly
by, the fish runs will be gone,"
he reportedly said in Heppner.
Possibly true, but who's sitting
idly by? Certainly not the com
mercial fishermen, who have
proved time and again our con
cern in preserving the salmon
steelhead resource for the fu
ture. For example, we gillnetters
built the first Northwest salmon
hatchery back in the 1920's. We
were the ones who went to the
Oregon Legislature and request
ed that an agency bo created
to regulate commercial fishing
today's Oregon Fish Commis
sion. We Columbia River gill
netters are th eonly users of the
fish who have accepted an an
nual restriction In fishing sea
sons from 274 days in 1947 to
only 77 days last year. What
have you given up to conserve
the resource, Mr. Garred?
Lastly, I want to point out
that, for all his pious talk, Mr.
Garred is as much a commer
cial user of the fishery as us
gillnetters. Or does he allow
sports fishermen to use his
Umatilla marina for free?
