'We had the slowest rate of
growth of any state," he said.
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 governor discou n t e d
claims that the state has a wa

low rainfall in the eastern part
of the state. Rather, the state
has water maldistribution, he
said. , . .

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."
