HcrrNCR GAZETTE-TIMES. Tbunday. r.Uuarr 20. 1X3 A Salem Scene MA1 by Iwttt L Cutter Special Committor Seeks To Modoinli Laglslatur Some 15 months and -W meet Inus afw-r iu iiiifiniun. tli Ad iMrv Committee on the Oregon l.i-Kl.-.laiuif hit developed r-c-(unin.iul.iiions mniiy of them predlrh-d for htr-nt!thenlng and streamlinlnif our lawmak ing branch of KovernmenL The special committee, creat-i-d bv the 17 legislature, con MMs of three state senators, fmir representative and 30 lay citi zens, lis Koai: lo una wv to make Oregon's legislative lirnnih and Its work more ef ficient, effective, responsive and understandable. Amona iu final ducnn of rec ommendations toward thin coal, being considered during the current session, are 13 ac tual hills and resolutions for adoption. Fropostils run the gamut from construction to com miltee structures, from leglslat ive pay lo public relations. Significantly, the committee Is not udvex-ating annual leglslat ive sessions. This is In keeping with strong statewide sentiment that annual sessions would pro mote "professional legislators" in a government which fares well with its parttime. citizen lawmakers from all vocations. Difficulties Recognized Difficulties of biennial ses sions in revenue and budget planning for 30 months hence are recognized, though. The committee therefore recom mends that the legislature be allowed lo call itself Into spe cial session by a majority of the members of both houses. At present, only the governor may convene a special session. The advisory committee reas ons that giving the legislature such authority would give it added flexibility as well, al lowing it to meet unexpected demands or timely availability of federal-fund participation programs. It suggests that legis lators could meet in even-numbered years briefly to update budgets in line with revised revenue estimates. Also recommended are build ing additions to the Capitol to provide more offices and hear ing room space. House floor desks now servo as offices for representatives and their secre taries, and public hearings es pecially if controversial some times spill attendees into Cap itol hallways. Perhaps the greatest boon to legislators would be the propos ed expansion of staff. Profes sional aides would perform re search and administrative du ties, leaving senators and rep resentatives relatively free to serve as policy-makers. The advisory group also ad vances proposals for changing committees, the backbone units of legislative research and eval uation. Some are expected to face stiff opposition in the cur rent session such as the propos al to reduce standing commit tees to 11, identical in both houses. There are now 21 Sen ate committees, 16 House com mittees. Committee Changes Eyed Interim committees would be replaced by continuing the standing committees on a per manent basis. The resulting con tinuity of membership could markedly smooth interim-session transitions, proponents say, and speed the lawmaking pro cess. Other suggestions of the study group Include expanding the House ftum i l 'l member anil Senate from 30 lo .'11 lo avoid lies, making rule of Ihe tun house uniloim. allowing bills to be pre-prlnted and filed iM'lnre Missions lo uvuia me us tial nileuii In eurlv weeks, ex Hilling the Legislative Fiscal Ottiiv to ensure follow-through on legislative Intent, unit pro viding more comprehensive or ientation sessions for first term legislators. From the public standpoint, recommendations for Improved communications are of Interest. Among them: improved school courses on Ihe legislative pro cess, better explanation of the legislature to Capitol Visitor, and Improved facilities for Cap itol newsmen. Disposition Uncertain Despite the extensive work put into the proposals, disposit Ion remains uncertain. Many recommendations will be scut tled, many modified, some adopted a lot can depend up on which committee consider which proiKisals or whether the report is treated as a whole or In separate parts. It is refreshing, at least, for the legislature to be Interested In sclf-improvemcnl and to have sought out Hie ideas of a large group of professional govern ment workers and observers. In their ideas lies the substance both for Oregon's legislature to keep pace with growing govern ment complexity and for consid erable improvement of the pub lic's image of the legislaluie and its mission. Fire Destroys Irrigon Landmark Flott's Truck Scry ic PHONE 989-8420 For Fast and Dependable FREIGHT TRUCK SERVICE Daily Overnight Service From Portland Including Saturdays MOVING? CALL US GENE ORWICK IRRIGON Another historical landmark is gone since the Lloyd Franke home was des troyed by fire on Tuesday, Feb ruary 11. Fire units from Uma tilla and U.A.D. assisted the two trucks of the Irrigon Fire De partment who answered the call about 10:30a.m. Very little was saved from the home, as no one was at home when the fire- broke out. The fire alarm was turned in by Crystal Gollyhorn, a neigh bor. One dog was rescued from the back porch but another one died in the house. The other buildings close by were not damaged. The Frankes have raised their six children here. The two youngest attend River side High school now. In the early 1900's the first Irrigon post office was housed in this building. At that time t was located on the corner of 8th and North Main Street where the Ernest Stephens house now stands. Addison Bennett was the first postmaster. He has been described as a lively person with a white goattee. He also published a newspaper called the Irrigon Irrigator evidently in the same building. He was triven credit In the "lone Inde pendent" in December, 1913, for being one of the live ones who pushed the Irrigation protect towards completion. At some other period of tme it was a store building. Around 1920 the large two story house was mounted on skids and pulled by horses to its present location, at that time known as the Hux place. Mrs. Gollyhorn, who turned in the fire alarm, is a granddau ghter of George Hux and re members the method used in moving buildings. They would use six horses, and logs would be placed under the skids. As the logs would roll out behind it would be taken to the front and again placed under the building. Mrs, Ethel Perkins of Port land, mother of Mrs. Albert Wright, accompanied her son-in-law and daughter from her home to Heppner last week, where she entered Pioneer Mem orial hospital for treatment. t i 1 The 10th of the Month is The Business-Professional Man's PAY-DAY Always pay your bills by the 10th of the month.
