The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday April 12, 1979 THIRTEEN Jernstedt supports laws to keep legislators 'civilians By Senator Ken Jernstedt Over the years Oregon has taken pride in having a "citizens' legislature." Pri marily this means that we do not have year-round, annual sessions and that Oregon ranks 33rd among the states in regard to the compensation paid to legislators. These factors-work against our having a "professional" legislature, in the sense that members are paid enough so that they do not have to have any other source of income to support themselves and their families. And since our legislators are engaged in business and other activities, they bring exper tise from these fields in dealing with problems con fronting the state and therefor the legislature. In the last few sessions we have had increasing numbers of citizens involved in serving on governmental commissions and committees, and in coming to Salem to testify on proposed legislation. There is another sense in which I believe that we legislators should be treated equally with other citizens and that is in regard to our present immunity from arrest under certain circumstances. I have introduced a bill which would refer to a vote of the people that section of the Oregon Constitution which gives legislators immunity from arrest during a session or while traveling to or from the legislature. In researching the matter, I found that most states have similar provisions, most of which were enacted before the turn of the century. There might have been a good reason back in the days of the wild west. It seems that state legislators traveling to and from the capitols from far away places were sometimes arrested to prevent them from attending and voting. Just as an aside, it might be argued that the public would be better served if all legisla tors were locked up on their way to Salem! Under the repeal I have proposed, state legislators would be required to stand up and face the music just as any other citizen would be re quired to do if caught breaking the law. A provision of the Constitu tion which may have made some sense a hundred years ago no longer does. ml 6&0Si$&&''' , SAKWAT COUI.OM tag. WW 'Sfe. V$W I m mm igrj Good Dir.

Safeway, recognizing the benefits to customers, was one of the first chains to Introduce unit pricing. In Safeway, shelf labels show the price of an item and, breaking the price down into a basic unit, also show the price per pound, quart, ounce or other even unit of measure. We have done the arithmetic for you. All you need to do is compare the Unit Price of brands of the same product to help determine the most economical brand and size.

Bill Bellamy Government spending and tax plan proposals have oc cupied the minds of many Oregonians this session. How ever, within the last week two bills have emerged in the Oregon Legislature that have drawn even greater numbers of constituent responses. The Fish and Wildlife Com mission structure change un der HB 2416 has become one of the issues under increasing attack. Let me assure the people of District 55 that HB 2416 has been amended to take care of the last three object ions of the four listed. Tha major objections which have been voiced are : ( 1 ) The membership of the Commis sion would be changed so that instead of representing equal populations (Congressional districts), commissioners would be representing geo graphic areas (Fish and Wildlife Regions). (2) Rather than phasing in this change, the bill requires the new commissioners to be appoint ed on the effective date of the act. This provision would actually purge certain com missioners caught in the crossfire of special interest groups. (3) Under the bill, at least two members of the Commission would be directly involved in agricultural pro duction. (4) Wildlife would be required to be managed in a manner "that is compatible with the primary objectives of the landowner." I believe the changing of the districts under the first object ion would definitely be in the best interest of Southern and Eastern Oregon. At the pres ent time, the Portland area has 4 of 7 members on the committee. I am concerned that the land area needs to be represented, and not just the population centers. The second bill, drawing a crowd of 1300 people at the public hearing, is HB 2433. The subject matter of the bill is "gun control" and the opposi tion seemed to be overwhelm ing as one recommendation handed down is to postpone action on the bill indefinitely. Almost 350 persons signed up to testify against the bill Wednesday night, while only three people signified that they wanted to testify for passage of the legislation. What HB 2423 would do is to prohibit the carrying of a hand gun in a car without a concealed weapons permit. It would also require that a person applying for a conceal ed handgun permit must be at least 21 years of age, be a resident of a county and have no felony record. I believe that the bill will die or be tabled in committee. I appreciate the response from the people of District 55. I will not support the legislation and will continue to oppose any form of gun control and registration. Anyone interested in con tacting my office on these two bills or others can write: Rep.
