The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, April 20, 1978-TfIREE VicAtiyeh objects to 'loose-jointed9 state government during recent Heppner campaign stop . "The important issue in tiiis campaign is who can run state government," said Vic Atiyeh, Republican gubernatorial candidate, during a stop in Heppner April 7. "The dif ference between me and any other candidate is that I t) can do it better than any other candidate. That is the reason I'm running for governor." . ( Atiyeh pointed to what he called the "loose-jointedness" of present state administra tion and said much-needed .direction to its policies is lacking. ., "I have a very strong . 'feeling about the way state government should be run... , The longer we wait to pull it together the harder it will be ' to recover," he said. ,- Atiyeh said that his part in , building important bills in his !, 19 years in the state legisla ture gives him experience and I an advantage that none of the , other candidates have: credi bility with state employes and credibility with the state legislature. "They know that I don't play i games and I don't play . politics," Atiyeh said. n Adressing an audience of . approximately 15 county resi dents at his campaign dinner gtop at the West of Willow . Friday, Atiyeh said that while candidates, including himself, , ask questions about issues and . . problems in communities like i Heppner while campaigning, once elected they never ask them again. Atiyeh proposed instigating government "lis tening posts", regular round-table discussions in each community, to establish con Community BILLBOARD Call 676-9228 If you're 25 or so, Farmers can cover you with $25,000 of life insurance for under $15 a month.

"I don't agree with the theory that 'government knows best'," Atiyeh said. He added he was concerned with "limiting legislation", which limits individuals' options in certain areas to gain some benefit elsewhere. "Most often there is a better way and most often a price you pay for a benefit you think you are getting," he said. In a question and answer period following his short speech, Atiyeh said he consi dered the issue of California trying to get surplus water from the Columbia River a "non-issue" because he didn't think a surplus existed. Atiyeh remarked that he supported Bob Straub's "over my dead body" stance: "I would be less dramatic but just as firm." Atiyeh said Rep. Al Ullman, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, should be able to take care of getting the Bombing Range "a small piece of ground the Navy doesn't need" back to the county by himself. If elected, Atiyeh plans to meet routinely with the state's national Congressional lead ers to discuss issues offecting Oregon: "We're all in the boat together, we should work as a team...I haven't seen that approach used before." Atiyah said the present 160-acre limitation on irriga- b tion should be determined on an equivalency basis depend ing on the productivity of the land, not a set acreage.
