CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CONCERNING CONVENING OF LEGISLATURE Purpose: Oregon Constitution provides that Legislature 3hall meet once every two years, or upon direction of Governor. This Constitutional Amendment would also permit the Legislature to convene itself upon concurrence of a major ity of members of both Houses. ESTIMATE OF FISCAL EFFECTS: This amendment would make it possible for the Legislative Assembly to convene itself in ses sion during even-numbered years and to convene itself in spe cial session. It is Impossible to estimate total costs since there is no way to predict the change in number of total days in session that might occur during a biennium. (The 1969 Regular Session incurred direct costs of approximately $12,000 per day.) YES NO 2. AUTOMATIC ADOPTION, FEDERAL INCOME TAX AMEND MENTS Purpose: To simplify preparation of income tax re turns, the 1969 Oregon Legislature passed a law which provides that the Oregon income tax will be computed by a method closely corresponding to the federal income tax. This Consti tutional Amendment provides that when U. S. Congress changes method of computation, the changes are automatically adopted into Oregon law. The Oregon Legislature, however, must review such changes when it meets in regular session and may modify or reject them. YES NO Morrow County wheat growers are directly involved In the new Wheat Research and Promotion Act, according to David McLeod, County Executive Director of the Morrow County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Office. Secretary of Agriculture Cliff ord M. Hardin has said, "Do mestlc utilization of wheat in human nutrition and Industry can be encouraged by the re cently enacted Wheat Research County, entitled to receive less than $3.00, will not receive a special notice but they can nev ertheless claim their share of ex port certificates by filing a writ ten request for payment with the county ASCS office. Each producer's share of the export certificate pool will amount to about $.56 for each $100.00 of 19G8 domestic wheat certificates earned. Wheat growers will have un til Dec. 25 to notify their coun- and Promotion Act. The prospect ty ASCS office of their choice. Is quite promising that research can develop new products and greater utilization of wheat." Financing of the program un dcr the new law is to come from proceeds of the 1968 wheat ex port certificate pool not claim ed by eligible farmers "Local wheat growers whose share of the export certificate pool amount to $3.00 or more will receive notice from the ASCS Office telling them what their share of the pool is and explaining the options each grower has," McLeod said. A producer may choose to re ceive his share of the export certificate pool or he may leave it in the pool to finance the re search and promotion program. Wheat growers in Morrow 3. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CONCERNING COUNTY DEBT LIMITATION Purpose: The Oregon Constitution prohibits coun- . ties from incurring an indebtedness in excess of $5,000. This Constitutional Amendment exempts from the debt limitation: (1) Contracts for services with state government; and (2) Con tracts to purchase or lease property if the term of the agree ments do not exceed 10 years and the total payments in all such contracts is not more than $50,000 annually. YES NO 4. INVESTING FUNDS DONATED TO HIGHER EDUCATION Pur pose: Constitutional Amendment permitting state to invest in stock of any company, association or corporation any funds that are donated or bequeathed for higher education purposes. YES NO 5. VETERANS' LOAN AMENDMENT Purpose: Amends Oregon Constitution to increase bonding limits for the Oregon War Vet erans' Fund from 3 to 4 of the true cash value of all prop erty In the State. This fund is financed by bonds Issued by the state, the proceeds of which are loaned to eligible veterans for farm and home purchases. ESTIMATE OF FISCAL EFFECTS: This amendment would in crease the bonding limits of the Oregon War Veterans fund from 3 to 4 of the true cash value of all property in the State and thus provide in 1971 an estimated $180 million in addit ional bonding capacity. These additional funds would enable the eligible veterans to receive loans for farm and home pur chases. The loan repayments by the veterans are expected to be adequate to pay the interest and retire any state bonds is sued under the proposed amendment. YES NO 6. LIMITS TERM OF DEFEATED INCUMBENTS Purpose: Consti tutional Amendment provides that an incumbent who seeks re election and Is defeated cannot hold over in office beyond his elected term. It further provides for appointment of temporary successor if an election contest is pending in courts, and no one has otherwise qualified for office. YES NO BOWLING Un-Awakes Team WW L 75 Pick-ups 7 1 No-Name Team 4 4 Skreamers 3 5 1 Monkeys 2 6 The 1968 wheat export certif icate pool of about $4.2 million is the result of legislation pass ed several years ago that pro vided for excess collection of ex port certificates to be distributed pro rata among wheat producer. Wheat exporters are required to buy export certificates for any lot of wheat exported whenever the U. S. price is less than the world price. Whenever the U. S. price exceeds the world price, an export subsidy is paid to the exporter to make the wheat competitive in world markets. The world market price for the 1968 crop of wheat was at times higher than the U.S. price, and an export certificate pool accumulated. The original law provided for this pool to be div ided pro rata among wheat pro ducers. "For most producers. It would be a payment of only a few dollars less than a dollar, in fact, for many," McLeod said. The new law allows them either to receive their pro rata shrae, or leave it In the pool to be used In research and promo tion of U. S. wheat," he added. The law authorizes the Secre tary of Agriculture to enter into 151: High Ind. Series Mike Mills, 410; High Team Game 75 Pick-ups, 390; High Team Series 75 Pick-ups, 1103. High Ind.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AUTHORIZING EDUCATION BONDS Purpose: Authorizes bonds up to 1 of true cash value of taxable property In state to provide funds to purchase bonds of common or union high school districts or area education districts issued by the district for purposes authorized by law. Authorizes state-wide property tax to provide for payment of bonds if legislature does not provide other revenues. Super sedes conflicting constitutional requirements. ESTIMATE OF FISCAL EFFECTS: This amendment would al low the state to purchase bonds of local school districts. Based on the 1971 estimate of Oregon's taxable property, a maximum of $180 million of bonds could be authorized by the Legislature. The 1969 legislative session has authorized the state to issue up to $160 million of the total bonding limit established by this proposal. The loan repayments by local school districts are ex pected to be adequate to pay the interest and retire any state bonds issued under the proposed amendment YES NO a ALLOWS PENAL INSTITUTIONS ANYWHERE IN OREGON Purpose: The Oregon Constitution prohibits establishing state prisons or other correctional institutions outside of Marion Coun ty unless approved by the voters. This measure permits the State Corrections Division to establish and operate branch institutions such as halfway houses or similar facilities at suitable loca tions lanywhereinthe state. PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION YES NO SCENIC WATERWAYS BILL Purpose: To preserve natural beauty of certain rivers. Designates as "scenic waterways" por tions of Rogue, Illinois, Deschutes, Owyhee, John Day Rivers and all Mlnam River. Prohibits dams and reservoirs on these rivers. State Highway Commission given condemnation and rule-making powers. Landowners within a quarter mile of such rivers must give Commission one year advance notice before mining, cutting trees, or constructing any roads, buildings or other struc tures. Governor may designate additional "scenic waterways." YES NO 10. NEW PROPERTY TAX BASES FOR SCHOOLS Purpose: Consti tutional Amendment setting new tax bases for schools based on current expenditures plus 6 annual increase. Restricts authority to levy outside tax base. Presently, many school dis tricts' tax bases are- far below current expenditures, thus requir ing annual budget elections. Provides that legislature may in crease tax bases for increased student enrollment and also re duce tax bases. Otherwise, tax bases cannot be changed with out popular vote. Only two elections per year permitted unless legislature provides otherwise. YES NO Kof fee Kup Keglers Team No. 4 No. 5 No. 3 No. 1 No. 2 No. 6 High Ind. Game Iris Camp bell, 192; High Ind.
