The candidate directed more
criticisms at Governor Hatfield
than he did at his Republican
opponent, Tom McCall. He said
that the governor and the state
land board tried to lease off
shore oil lands to one company
secretly, but as a result of
Straub's protests it is now out
for bids and the state is get
ting three times as much for
the leases as it would have re
ceived under the lease to one
company.
He stressed the need for bus
iness management in state gov
ernment and declared that
neither Governor Hatfield or Mc
Call have the business experi
ence necessary to cut costs In
state goverenment.
"My opponent is a very good
man. a very decent man, and
a verv likeable man," Straub
said, but he added that McCall's
principal training has been in
the field of reporting.
"It isn't this kind of back
ground we need in the gover
nor's office," he declared. "I
want to make it more than a
ribbon cutting office. I've had
20 years of managing, operat
ing and owning small busi
ness." Straub also pointed out that
he has had 10 years of exper
ience in holding elective office
and said that this is import
ant in maintaining contact with
the legislature.
'Monoply' End Asked
Stating that Republicans have
been in the governor's office in
Oregon for 26 of the past 28
years, interrupted only by two
vears' service by Robert Holmes,
Straub said that it is time that
the Republicans' 'monoply' is
broken. ,
Pointing out that he wants to
be governor in order to serve
the people and not so that his
wife can wear "big, fancy hats,"
the aggressive candidate said,
"McCall wants to go in on a
quiet campaign. He feels he can
be elected on his television pop
ularity and he may be right."
As state treasurer, Straub said,
he has been instrumental in the
state's earning Si's million
more than any previous treas
urer. He said that it is not his
intention to perform a "house
cleaning" on those in various
departments who are doing
good work, but he expects to
keep an eye on costs and de
termine whether or not various
jobs are really necessary.
"Let's do things that really
count for the people of Oregon."
he said. "I think I can cut costs
in government for Oregon."
He said that he isn't making
the campaign with any false
hopes. "It is an uphill battle
all the way. But we are mak
ing progress, and the campaign
is unfolding.
'"I go to the millworkers to
convince them I am one of
them," he said. "I go to the
markets and con v i n c e the
housewives I am one of them
' and that's a little harder to
i do!" he said with a laugh,
i The visiting candidate paid
j compliments to Orville Cuts
i forth as his campaign manager
I in the county: to Mrs. Clarence
i ( Virginia ' Rosewail, county
Democratic Central committee
chairman; to Mayor Rosewail,
who presided at the dinner; to
County Judge Paul Jones, point
ing out that county government
i is the "center and heart" of gov
ernment; and to others.
In a question and answer per
iod, he stated his views on
property tax limitation. The con
stitution should be amended, he
said, so that the 6 limitation
is amended. This, however,
should be done district by dis
trict, the people in each adopt
ing a fixed ceiling based on
their wants and needs. He also
is in favor of the state assum
ing more of the costs of local
service.
State Tax ReUef Needed
State basic school support
went to its highest point 38
when Holmes, a Democrat, was
in office, he said. But the state's
share has been getting smaller
and smaller since Governor Hat
field took office.
"The state has to pick up a
larger share of the costs of ed
ucation and other government
casts," he said.
Asked about reapportionment
to the legislature because of
Eastern Oregon's "thin repre
sentation," Straub said that it
is in the constitution that one
person shall have one vote and
that the U. S. Supreme Court
has affirmed this.
"All legislatures are moving
in this direction," he said, point
ing out that he didn't think it
would get any better for the
thinly-represented less-populated
areas. The alternative is to
elect the best possible officials,
he said.
Before introducing the speak
er, Cutsforth commended the
Rosewalls for their good work
and then said, "We haven't had
a governor interested in East
ern Oregon since Governor
Pierce," and he further staled,
"Oregon probably is the most
backward state in the union
when it comes to reclamation."
After the meeting, which con
cluded shortly after 8 p.m., the
Democratic standard bearer and
his wife left for Pendleton to
continue the campaign tour.

All that life insurance you have in case something
happened to you wouldn't be worth much when it came
to replacing her services, would it?
Of course, you can gamble. You can read statistics
and say, "Chances are she'll outlive me." But will she?
She is the main reason Alexander Hamilton Life Insur
ance Company developed His 'n Hers insurance. It
covers both of you (with the full amount of the policy
paid to the survivor when either one dies) almost for
what it used to cost to cover just you alone.
At those prices, how can you lose? You're protected.
She's protected. Your family's protected.

17th ANNIVERSARY WITH 110 AC!!
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Potter arc sold on electricity,
and have been for nearly 50 years.
The 14th of October marked the 17th Anniversary
of 110 volt AC power for the Potters. Columbia Basin
made this connection back in 1949, and it was a pretty
big thing with them, too. Ralph Potter became the first
rural customer on the Columbia Basin books.
The Potters have had electricity for 47 out of their
52 married years. Their first electrical system was an
old 32 volt Delco system that was run off batteries and
charged with a small gas engine and dynamo. Later on
the "Wind Charger" came out and this device was add
ed to the system. With the addition of a few more cells,
they could go for about a week without recharging the
batteries with the gas engine.
Through the years many of the latest electrical ap
pliances were added to their system. Among these
were: lights, (usually only one bare bulb per room), re
frigerator, iron (each time the iron was used the gas
engine would have to be started to avoid running the
batteries down), radio, cream separator, and washing
machine. Mrs. Potter exclaimed, "Before we were lim
ited on how much, or how long we could use our elec
tricity; now all we have to do is push a button, or turn
a switch on, and things will go all day."
Things have progressed a long way since the Potters
first got electricity, but the cost has been reduced con
siderably over what it was back in the days of the Delco
32 volt systems . . .
