BMCC Growing by Leaps and Bounds
(FROM HERMISTON HERALD I
Blue Mountain Community College Is growing by leaps
and bounds . . . from 154 full time students in 12 to over
800 in 19G9, an amazing growth by any standard!
Wallace McCrae. president of BMCC. says of the 800 full
time enrollees, 631 students are from Umatilla and Morrow
counties, with the largest majority coming from the Hcrmls
ton area. If you also count part time students, you can be
certain that over 1200 people are taking advantage of the
two-year college's facilities.
The school's operational budget for the coming fiscal
year, beginning July 1. is $525,937 which Is higher than last
ye8rin talking with President McCrae and BMCC Board mem
ber Russell Dorran, we learn that last year the emphasis was
on a $1,500,000 building expansion program, with a natural
curtailment of curriculum needs during that time due to a
lack of space. Subsequently with the completion of the new
building facilities scheduled In time for fall classes, the need
now switches to curriculum expansion.
President McCrae demonstrates, by use of property assess
ment values and taxes, Just exactly what the cost will be to
property owners In the BMCC taxing district of Umatilla and
Morrow counties. For instance, for every $1,000 valuation o
the true cash value of your property, the tax would be $1.00,
therefore there would be $15 in taxes on a $15,000 home.
Last year, by comparison, the estimated cost per $1,000
f TTheTeSSidenfs of the two counties of Morrow and Umatilla
are certainly getting their money's worth from BMCC . . . it
enables many students within traveling distance to live at
home and get in two years of college which they might not
otherwise enjoy. The curriculum is good and the instructs
are of high caliber . . . ask any of the students from this
community and they'll tell you this without hesitation.
The BMCC needs and deserves our continued support.

Sentiment for Lake Aldrich
If It weren't for the fact that there is already a Umatilla
county, a town of Umatilla, a Umatilla national forest a
rTver called Umatilla, a Umatilla Indian tribe and many
more Umatlllar,, it might have been appropriate to name the
reservoir above the John Day clam "Lake Umatilla.
Since there are so many things named Umatilla, how
ever, it is too commonplace in Eastern Oregon. This is the
feeling of quite a few persons and organizations The Mor
row county court is on record for renaming the lake some
thing more appropriate, and others concur.
Judge John F. Kilkenny of Portland, and formerly of
Morrow county, is among those interested in the matter.
He is a member of Oregon's Geographic Names Board.
One proposal is that the name of the lake be changed to
"Lake Aldrich," in honor of Ed Aldrich, once editor of the
East Oregonian., Pendleton. Oldtimers knew him as one who
continually prised for development of the Columbia River
and construction of dams on it. He devoted a great deal of
effort towards both McNary dam and the John Day darn.
It would seem fitting for his memory to rename the lake
In his honor. The Oregonian states that Congressman Al Ml
man Is ready to Introduce a bill in Congress to implement the
ChatThe name would have more significance than the pres
ent one in relation to the specific project. "Umatilla' is a
time-honored name, but it has no particular connotation for
the lake above John Day dam. The name, "Aldrich, would
have meaning that could be explained by literature and mon
ument for tourists who come from faraway places to view the
dam and Its reservoirs.
Time for Another Three Miles?
When the State Highway Department Improved the stretch
of some three miles of highway from Heppner towards Lex
ington several years ago-and did such a great job it was
understood that the plan was to continue improving similar
short stretches until our state highways were in top cond.t-
'n'This plan apparently was on a "funds available" basis
but the local population fervently hoped that a short stretch
of highway rebuilding could be accomplished each year. Mor
row county has long suffered on the state hig hway Program.
The maintenance boys have done a good job within the frame
work of their funds available, but the Willow Creek highway
for the most part remains basically unchanged from its orig
inal construction. Recently, some good work has been done
on widening the curves and cutting away embankments, but
little of the road has been rebuilt.
Now this year, when the highway has been damaged
considerably by frost, particularly four or five miles from
Heppner, would be a good time to rebuild another three
miles This would go past the Mollahan place and beyond.
Morrow county has been assured a number of times in
recent years that major work will continue, but it has been
quite a while now, and our people have been good about
holding their peace and biding their time.
One would think that the cost of improving the road, to
repair winter damage, would be considerable. If this is the
case whv not rebuild a portion now to economize in the long
run? The new stretch took the shock of winter without dam-
age-The old saying is, "The squeaking wheel gets the
prease" It would be good to think that this isn't required
from the State Highway Department. We'd prefer to refer to
another old saying as a reminder, "A promise is a promise.

IT WAS GOOD that voter ap
proved the m-IkkiI budget Mon
day. Now our people won't have
to fret on thai through the hum
mer. It occurred to us thut Morrow
county Ilk have a pretty K""d
record in their nupport of the
schools, even though we some
limes Mim to think that it Is
ulmoM customary to vote sev
eral time before passing a
budget.
Actually. In the 11 years of
the ctinutvwlde administrative
district. Morrow county voter
have passed the budget on the
first try in all but four of the
years.
All but one of the initial de
feat were in the rather stormy
year that followed after the
county district was formed in
VXti. Like a newly married
couple, it took quite a period for
the union to become fully ad
lusted, and there were some
hectic times. There are still
some problems, but not nearly
as bad as those first years.
Except for last year. 1908. the
budget has passed at the first
election for six consecutive
DnH G.i tt,.tni of the anx-
etv shown bv school supporters
may be rather uneeessary. And
last vear. you will recall, the
budget actually polled a victory
on the first try. 2H6-283, but sev
eral votes were challenged, and
so It was decided to hold an
other vote to be sure that the
budget wasn't under a legal
cloud.
WE'VE BEEN doing a little re
search on the budget elections
in the county school district for
the past 11 years in the G-T
tiles, and discover some inter
esting information.
The budget has required three
voles in lust two years 1161
and 1968 (remembering that the
first vote last year might have
been considered an affirmative
vote except for the challenged
VInStwo years, 1959 and 1963.
two votes were required. In all
others, it went over on the first
try.
The largest number ever to
cast votes in a school election
here was in the second election
f ior.s ..rl.nn 1107 turned out to

record a 497-610 vote against it.
But in the tnira ana unai
election last year, the voters
polled the highest affirmative
i fr ho hiiHwet In any
of the 11 years, going 642 yes
n70 a vietnrv sDread of
372 votes. The single election of
1965 brought the second nign
est winning margin, 325 votes
(476 to 151), and the second
election in 1963 was next with
the yes votes exceeding the no
votes by 324 (540 to 216).
The second election of 19j9,
when the district was formed,
saw the affirmative vote exact
ly doubling the no vote, 458 to
229, a margin of 229.
The greatest negative vote
polled in a school election here
was the 697 no in a real year
of turmoil, 1963. This was the
recall year, and all but one of
the school board resigned. Vote
in the first election that year
was 274 yes to the 697 no, a
losing margin of 423. But on
the next try the budget was ap
proved by the 324-vote margin.
Narrowest winning margin
was in 1962 when it passed by
just 23 votes, 285 to 262. Nar
rowest loss was in the second
election of 1961 when it went
down by 48 votes, 455 to 503.
(The 1968 first election is con
sidered as "no contest").
In all, the budget has been
presented 17 times in the 11
year period. Its win-loss record
is 11-5-1, the latter "no contest."
FEWEST NUMBER ever to turn
out to vote in a school elec
tion during the period was in
1966 when 279 balloted (209 yes,
70 no).
The vote this year was tied
for 13th place in the total turn
out with 547 balloting, same as
in 1962. Poorer turnouts were in
1966-279; 1967-361; and 1964
494. The first election last year
was just slightly better at 569.
However, in the proportion of
yes to no votes, the election this

going close to 2 to 1 in favor.
In only three of the 17 elections
did all precincts give yes ma
jorities to the budget. Monday's
election was one of the three.

QUESTION:
I own five acres of land.
oguieiuuc
from farm zone to residential
zone. Pacific Power & i-igni nus
a power line easement of 100
feet by 500 feet about two ac
res. I cannot build a house or
plant trees on that land so why
should I have to pay taxes on
those two acres as long as it
can't be used for residence? Irs
also a swamp in the winter time.
I am being charged residential
rates for these two acres. Is this
fair taxation?
ANSWER:
In arriving at the value of
your land, the Assessor's staff
will be estimating its value in
comparison with similar proper
ties. Many recent subdivisions
have powerline easements along
the back portions of their lots
and the purchasers plant a lawn
and shrubs in this area.
Anvone purchasing compara
ble land for residential purpos
es would have to plan land u
tilization to leave this easement
as a so-called "open area."
If you check with your as
sessor vou probably will find
that this has been considered
in arriving at the final estimate
of value of your land. If he has
overlooked some factor, he will
be glad to make a correcton or
refer you to the Board of Equalization.

'No' on Soles Tax
To the Editor:
There is no balanced relation
ship between the earning pow
er and the paying power in a
general sales tax. Those in low
income brackets that are com
pelled to spend their entire in
come for a living for themselves
and their family have no choice
but to pay a tax on 100 per cent
oi their income, while those in
advantageous positions and with
greater opportunity pay a tax
on only a portion of their in
come, in other words the richer
nova tho least nercentaee of a
sales tax in accordance to the
advantages he has in our coun
try. All the unfortunate, those on
relief, the aged, the crippled, the
blind, every child, and even the
handicapped war veteran would
hn invoH nn 100 ner cent of what
they have to live on. They would
have no freedom ot cnoice. iney
cannot count their small amount
mnnav In thpir noeket with
the Idea of having that much
to spend for necessities oi ine,
because, a general sales tax with
its small voice says, 'That is
not all yours". No consideration
is given to ability to pay.
There Is no favorable connec
tion whatever between property
tax relief and this sales tax, be
cause those who really need
property tax relief would be
paying a mucn greater tax in.
sales taxes than he now pays
on property taxes. This has been
proven in other states and the
best authority we have in Ore
gon tells us it will be the same
here. We need economy in our
state, which we will not get if
a sales tax is passed. It is a
buyer's tax and subtracts its
percentage from the buying
power, which hurts business to
that extent.
The sales tax group start out
by appropriating $300,000 for an
election, and if it should carry
it would mean additional office
space in Salem, an addition of
hundreds of extra state employ
ees to handle the extra office
work, besides the automobiles
and auditors that would be re
quired to travel over the state.
If ever a general sales tax is
passed, the wolf will have his
head in the door, and history in
other states has shown it does
not decrease, but steadily in
creases and spreads to other
commodities like it has in our
neighboring states, where it
covers food, drugs and all nec
essities. A vote for a sales tax is a
vote to increase strikes, unrest,
crime, demonstrations, mental
disturbances and the ghettoes
we hear so much about. The
continued passing of sales tax
es in our states is certain to
bring about a reckoning day.
We cannot put the burden of
taxes on those least able to pay,
taking food from their mouths
and clothing from tneir DacKs,

STATE SENATOR
18th District Including
Morrow county
emma. this session, and I'll tell
you we have a prouiem . . . oui,
I'll also tell you inai wc aic
doing something about It.
I'll tell vou that the legisla
ture, this session, la looking at
a five-bill package that would
initiate a comprehensive and co
ordinated program for the treat
ment of these two social uroo
lems. This program would in
oiiiHn nretreatment. Intensive
care to cure the ill. and extend
ed treatment out inio me com
munity through rehabilitation
centers or halfway houses.
Treatment Proposed
I II tell vou that the program
would Include the beefiag-up of
out patient units In already ex
Isting community mental health
clinics to provide for voluntary
treatment of drug addicts. Al
ready, this service Is being pro
vided for alcoholics.
I will tell you of the proposed
establishment of a civil com
mitment procedure for drug ad
dicts, either voluntary or by
court order.
I will tell vou of a program
to give methadon, a synthetic
narcotic, to long time users of
hard narcotics to enable them
to kick the habit, thus lessen
ing the need to live a life of
crime to support a costly habit.
In other areas of legislative
action, I can point out that the
legislature Is discussing a bill
that would make driving under
the influence of drugs the same
offense as drunken driving. An
other measure stiffens the pen
alty on drug pushers. Under the
present law, both the sale and
use of pot are felonies, but the
sale of LSD is a misdemeanor.
This is hoped to get at the
source of the drugs, the pusher,
rather than at the victim, the
user.
Drug Dangers Told
I will tell you, that $133,000
is being pumped into an already
existing program which financ
es four regional offices in Port
land, Grants Pass, Eugene, and
Ontario, that disperse informa
tion about the dangers of drug
and alcohol abuse.
If pushed further, this law
maker will reveal that Oregon's
Mental Health Division, in 1968,
initiated the first program of its
kind to increase the working
knowledge of drug abuse.
Known as the Western Insti
tute on Drug Studies, this one
week program offers courses for
people in such areas as law
enforcement, education, mental
health treatment personnel, and
other social service people.
I can also mention the spe
cial courses being placed in the
curriculum of Oregon State Uni- 1
versity and several community
colleges throughout the state, or
of the state sponsored classes
that were started this year in
Grants Pass, Roseburg, and Coos
Bay, through the Division of
Continuing Education.
So you can see, your legisla
tor can tell you a lot about this
problem and list an impressive
program to combat it. Yes, we
do have an alcohol and drug
problem in Oregon; we all know
it. To merely talk about it is
not enough. We are doing some
thing . . . are you?
