HATFIELD SICK OF RED TAPE rev viest, Jr., ho is the County Chairman for Mark Hatfield, sent us the following remarks from a talk Sen. Katfield'delivered las: Thursday at Corvallis. "Su-oca'ion in triplicate threatens to choke Oreeoms small businesses out a eitence," Senator Mark KatfleltJ told the Corvallis Chamber of Commerce annual dinner Thursday mght. "The tiree E.'s of the federal bureaucracy have become Bul-s F.esrulatioc and Fed Tape, " Hatfield said. "I arr a'ppalle a' the paper :rt requirements of the fe deral e'overnment." Hatfield cited paperork statistics which be said, "sound as if they ere from a horror story." Hatfiel- co;ed. congress.onal estimates are ttat it costs trie federa gove-nment about IB fcHlioc collars yearly to print, revie and store its forms and it costs America's businessmen ano ther 15 billion dollars to prepare and return such forms; tte federal government eenerates annually over 4.5 million cubic feet of paper, equaling 14 billion sheets of typing paper and 10 government forms for every person in the country; . annual federal government Faper work emials a stack of tvpms paper over 13 hundred miles high or equal to 14 thousand stacks of paper the height of Portland's new First National Ear.k building; federal reporting and statistical requirements have grown over the past ID vears at a rate of 30 percent greater rfci;; :& growth of the feoeral budget; tne Office of Management L Budget reports that the 54 hundred different feaeral forms take the public 130 million hours to complete. Hatfield said that both tne 18 billion dollar federal cost and tne 13 billion dollar business cost ultimately are paid by the taxpayer - consumer. He said this 36 billion dollar estimate is: 53 times the 1371-73 bienmum genera! fund budget for Creson; qual to the cost of building over 2 million, two-bedroom low-cos, bousing units.-, more than federal outlays m the entire areas of human and housing, agriculture and rural development. "Congress snares the blame with the bureaucracy for creatine this paper work explosion," Hatfield said. "Some worthwhile ne programs, such as the Occupation Health and Safety laws create severe paperwork problems for Oreeon businessmen," "all paperwork is not evU and cannot all be removed, but steps to curtail it must be taxen", be said. Hatfield said the Senate Small Business Committee, on which be serves, will hole hearings on June 27 on federal paperwork problems facing snail businesses. Ke plans to testify citing such examples as a Portland radio-television company whose FCC license renewal appli cation weished 8D pounds, and a small Portland radio station whose FCC renewal paperwork weighed over 25 pounds. A requirement that Congress determine paper work burdens of new' legislation, would be a logical first step in solving the problem" . "Cooeress now requires environmental impact statements i-r our" review m considering new legislation and it seems the paperwork burden of ne laws is an equally important consideration,'' He said another alternate for reducing paperwork is closer coordination and information sharing by federal, rate and local governments, H also sugs-ested simpliivtrx forms to allow easier com pliance bv businesses reducing taeir frequency and technical assistance programs to h:ip small business comply with federal regulations.

There has been some editorial comment on the fail ure of most bond and tax measures to pass in the re cent election. It is intima ted that the people have lost faith in our state legislature. There is some reason for that. As individuals the mem bers are nice honest people, but when they get into mass action the results leave much to be desired. Even a drun ken sheepherder knows that there is no necessity for the consideration of over one thousand bills during anyses sion. The result is enact ment of poorly considered and ambiguous laws. One exam ple of last sessions bumbling, is the change in special dis tricts election laws. Another is that promiscuous authority to provide bicycle paths along certain highways without re gard to the wishes of the community involved. Confi dence in tbe legislature will be restored if fewer bills are introduced, and the ones passed are given closer scru tiny.

He told of cool mining activities which is de scribed as "open casting", something like our strip min ing. However, even though they sometimes go 120 feet deep, they carefully save the soil which is replaced, fer tilized and can again be farm ed. Bob bad a tour of such an operation, was in the big shovel and, of coures, was permitted in the cab. We wouldn't be surprised if they'd let him operate the ma chinery as he has a natural inclination for things mech anical. They called 24 hours before they were to fly home and were assured a seat. They made other advance calls and had the same answer. W hen they arrived at the airport for the return flight they met a delay. They then soon learned the charter air line was in receivership. 3t was the charter airline, NOT the travel bureau, that was in trouble.) Airport people said they would get them ac commodations and to another airline. Tbe 217 passengers, mostly Americans and some Canadians, were taken by bus to a private coach station and stayed in an uncomfortable, very cola big metal build ing, much like a warehouse. Bob said they huddled all ni ght, TW A bad a big plane in Pome and it was thought they could get accommoda tions on It for the return trip for $17,000 for the group, or about $100 apiece. They were taken to Heathrow Air port where they learned that Civil Aeronautics would not would not permit tbe return trip for $17,000 for the group, on the plane from Rome. So they spent a niebt at the air port. Bob said tbey were forced to take regular flight home, returning by TWA to New York and United to Sea ttle. This cost an extra $800, Bob said be never worries about tbe number 13. But, he says, beware of Friday.

Good Reading " Way Back When" by Mil dred Searcey of Athena is now available in Heppner. The book is a result of the historical program Mildred did over KUMA to create interest in the Umatilla and Morrow counties' history. She gives credit for the vignettees to her sources that are no longer available or not easily available to the public and not re-written events by some historian. Tbe stories are factual accounts of some less than obscure occurrences concerning this land and its people. The title came from a child hood expression of her son, Mike. wnen Mildred told stories he would ask "Was that way back when you were a girl, Mother?" The answer was" Way Back When." There's a chapter on Hep pner, Lexington and lone. The book bas many old pictures. Names of many people. It will be interesting reading to people of the two coun ties. Mildred will be in Heppner for the Sidewalk Bazaar to autograph the book.
