Reiterating his stand that progress and development must come from the private section of the economy, the governor said that he felt two basic things were necess ary to strengthen the economy: 1. Di versify the economy from inside the state with the realization that too much was dependent on a single industry lumber. 2. Develop interest in Oregon from outside of the state. Statewide Derelopment Needed The governor said that it was necessary to realize that the state was broader than just the V ilia motto Vallev where most industry and development hith erto had been concentrated. "Wo had In concern ourselves with the entire state," he said. He found that there was a von- laroo sotion of Eastprn Oregon owned by the Federal government that was producing little lor ine economy. Through the Boeing develop ment, the state found a chance to project itself into the space age. he declared. He told of the long negotia tions and legislative steDs nec essary to culminate the Boeing lease, pointing oui mat iwu- thirds of the land in North Mor row county was under federal ownership. "It contributed nothing to the welfare of this county nor to the economy of the State of Ore gon," he said. The area was so untoucned tnat wagon trucks or the Old Oregon Trail were still vLsioie in tne area take Oregon water. He said that he had otten uiseusseo uw suu ject with Governor Brown of California and has told nim. "Why don't you send us your grocery list and well raise the food for you?"

The governor discou n t e d claims that the state has a wa ter surplus, pointing out the low rainfall in the eastern part of the state. Rather, the state has water maldistribution, he said. , . . The governor described nis . dnvolnn the small wa- plana ,w -' - , , tersheds program, and said that the legislature in ivoo tui ium.o he had asked for in this state budcet for this purpose.

In answer to a question by Orville Cutsforth as to whether the state might set up a pro) ect similar to that of the Feath er River project in California, the governor told of work In that direction getting underway by the Water Resources Board, a fairly new organization In this state and operating on a limited budget. He said that he felt the new Columbia Plateau group might make an approach in this direction. Against lVt Proposal In answer to a question by Sheriff C J. D. Bauman on the proposed ll percent property tax limitation, the governor said that if it passes, "it will be a shock to the city, county and local school districts." lie added that local expendi tures would be virtually under the dictatorship of the State Tax Commission which would have the power to determine shares of tax money that would go to each local agency If their total needs exceeded the limi tation. "I'm opposed to it on that ground," he said. "I have con fidence that If people really un derstand it. thev will reject it" He added. "We have been working to relieve the property tax program. We are now re turning -i(Kc more to the prop erty taxpayer than we did when I became governor." Wes Sherman presided at the meeting, introduced the gover nor and other guests, including Rep.
