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.

Unit pricing, according to the United States Office
of Consumer Affairs, Is one of the most useful
tools available to shoppers for comparing prices
and determining the most economical buy.
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.

Fish & Wildlife,
gun control on
Bellamy's mind
By Rep.
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.

tacting my office on these two
bills or others can write: Rep.
