Generation Gaps Not New
Always, since the very beginning of our country, there
has been this giant of a generation gap. Thomas Fleming
In The Man Who Dared The Lightning: A New Look At Ben
jarrin Fiar.klin," ttlls surprising things about a hero of mine
and probably a hero of youra and many other Americans).
He points out an Irony, a reversal f some present cir-cumt..nor-s.
For his son, William Franklin who Ben loved
and who shared as a boy his fathers interest in the electri
cal experiments which brought Ben Franklin his first inter
national notice, was on the other side of the generation gap,
William bre with his father over the Revolution. The son
was a royal governor of New Jersey, remained loyal to the
king throughout the Ee volution, while Franklin took the side
of the colonists.
What a truly dramatic contention between father and
son. And what a struggle was fought by father and son
over the loyalties of William's son. Temple. Grandfather Ben
ultimately won the heart rending contention.
There were contentions, too, of fathers and sons, and
borthers, too time after time as seen daring the Civil War,
especially In the Border Sates of the South.
During the Spanish American War. World Wars I and II
we seem to have seen little of such contentions. Not much
' visible during the Korean conflict but there were rumb
lings of dissatisfaction In our foreign adventure.
And now we see more aumerous contentions and popu
lar lacks of mutual understanding. This is a popular con
tention The Generation Gap. It certainly exists. It's reaL
But it's not new.
Liberty and Gun Ownership
A uniquely American organization is observing its Cen
tennial during the year 197L That organization is the Na
tional Rifle Association which represents more than a mil
lion law-abiding, gun-owning U. S. citizens. Over the years,
the NRA ha fostered firearm safety, conservation, good sports
manship and above all, an understanding of the place of a
firearm in the life of the responsible cltizea
Last year, the NRA publication, "The American Rifle
man", published in Its "Armed Citizen" columns. 112 actual
instances as in which the mere presence of a firearm In the
hands of a resolute citizen prevented crime without blood
shed. Every' case came from news reports confirmed bv police
records in 97 communities across the land. Robberies were
prevented and quite possibly rapes and murders because, as
'The American Rifleman" puts it" ... a self-reliant Amer
ican . . ." was on hand with a gun and with sufficient cool
ness to use it intelligently. Asks The American Rifleman",
"Can anyone show us where 112 crimes have been averted
by the Federal Gun Control Act of 1968?"
The claim is made by some that the laws restricting gun
ownership should be made even more stringent To this the
NRA, speaking in behalf of millions of Ameircans, observes,
"... we must disagree. The answer is a need for many
things, but laws that deprive decent persons of self-protection
are not among them " In the next century, as in the
past century', liberty and the right of gun ownership will re
main as inseparable as freedom of the press and representa
tive government

SENATE HOUSE COOPERA
TION . . . The Oregon Legislat
ure Is a bicameral (two cham
bers) system, along with 48 oth
er states of the Union. Nebras
ka, the only exception, operates
under a unicameral system.
All bilk must be heard and
passed by both the Senate and
House to become law. One may-
think this Ls time-consuming and
wasteful: on the contrary", it
gives assurance that legislation
is thoroughly analyzed and dis
cussed, and provides a safeguard
aeainst pressure tactics and
legal "loop-holing."
Although the Senate and
House are separate bodies, .each
with its own leaders and staff,
there Is a great deal of coop
eration between them. Perhaps
the most influencial committee
in the Legislature Is the Joint
Ways and Means Committee,
which hears all bills dealing
with state expenditures. The
Committee Is presided over by
co-chairmen, a Senator and a
Representative; there are 14
members, seven from each
house.
Another area of cooperation is
in joint committee hearings.
Last week, the Fish and Game
Committees of both houses met
jointly, to be briefed on the
Russian fishing fleet now ply
ing Oregon's offshore waters.
This eliminated the necessity of
two separate committees hear
ing duplicate reports on a ma
jor issue of concern.
Senators often testify in House
committees, and vice-versa, on
bills in which they have an in
terest, and we often "listen in"
to hearings in the opposite
chamber, to gain information
and background on issues which
concern our constituents.
My relationship with our lo
cal Representatives, Paul Wal
den and Irvin Mann, is close
and ccrdiaL We often sponsor
the same bills, appear at com
mittee hearings together, and
are in contact with each other
almost daily during the session
TAX MEASURES WHATS
HAPPENING r . . . Dozens of
bills involving taxes are pres
ently swimming around the
Statehouse some will pass,
some will go down.
The Republican - sponsored
Home Preservation Plan, an
nounced jointly by Republican
leaders of the Senate and House
at the beginning of the session,
is being refined and added to
in the House. As originally
drafted, the Plan provides for
three main areas of property tax
relief a senior citizen tax
freeze, exemption from property
taxes of the first $1500 of as
sessed value of even- owner-oc-
show that the home has retain
ed Its Identity as a vehicle. A
second bill Ls being considered
which, in effect, returns to the
previous licensing system for
all mobile homes.
Companion bills have been
introduced in both houses which
make it mandatory that all al
coholic and soft drink beverage
containers be sold with a five-
cents deposit These bilLs are
designed to reduce the litter
problem created by non-return
able bottles and cans, by giv
ing the public an incentive to
return their containers to col
lect the deposit. The bills' effect
will be to virtually eliminate
the containerization of beverag
es in cans and non-returnable
bottles throughout the state. In
other words, almost all such
beverages will be sold only in
containers, mostly bottes, which
can be reused or recycled. Sen
ate Bill 194 is now in the Con
sumer Affairs Committee, and
House Bill 1036 is In the State
and Federal Affairs Committee.
ADOPTION LAW CLARIFIED

was eliminated last week
through the 27-0 passage of Sen
ate Bill 48. The bill now Is in
the House, where it is sure to
receive similar action. Under
the new law, when a mother
surrenders her child for adop
uon, sne signs a promise, or
waiver, that she will not try to
reclaim the child. This waiver,
now, is absolutely irrevocable,
unless fraud or duress can be
proven.
The bill carries the signatures
of nine Senators (including
mine), and 23 Representatives
