It would have auth orized sentencing courts, rather than the parole board, to establish initial parole release dates for convicted felons. The sponsors of the petition were not a hie to gather enough signatures to gel that petition on the ballot. However, the petitionwas well-received and the sponsors feel that there is broad-based support for the proposal. Consequently, the sponsors have decided to renew their efforts by seeking amendments through the legislature. Again. Rill Lasswell. dist rict attorney in Douglas County (Roseburg). is one of the chief promoters of this effort. He will be seeking the support and sponsorship of various clubs and organizat ions throughout the State. I supported the initiative petition effort and I support the further effort to obtain statutory changes to the parole system through the legislature. My forthcoming resignation does not change my view about the need for reform. I would like to have letters of support from other concerned individuals, and from organizations, sent to the office of the district attorney. We will see that they are presented to the legislators who have agreed to introduce the bill which Mr. Lasswell has prepared. Sincerely, Dennis D. Doherty What we deserve I wonder if we farmers don't deserve some of the bad things we get and fail to be thankful for the good. I'm thinking of my old friend. Rob Straub. ex-governor of Oregon. He was the only farmer governor since Walter Pierce of 1926. 54 years ago. He ended his term as governor with a $200,000,000 surplus and our new governor gave it away. Now we have a $200,000,000 deficit - a differ ence of $400,000,000 in two years. No farmer, "governor or not." would have given that money away: he'd have saved it one way or another for a dry year. Yes. the farmers of Oregon traded a farmer for a rug merchant and they got what they deserve. Didn't he take $50. (UK) for personal expenses and had to put if back0 O. W.

"Post" states Mr. lllmnn was able to raise alxiut sion.nno at a $500-a-head reception in Wash ington D C. last week. Who is Al I'llmnn represent ing the State of Oregon or Washington. DC? According to Mr. Ullman's Salem office, he does not own a home in the State of Oregon. I think it is time we had a man who will represent Ore gon. My vote is for Denny Smith. He is listed in the Salem Phone Book. Donna Teeter La Grande For Frohnmayer Dave Frohnmayer was in town last week. He is running for Attorney General. I first heard Mr. Frohnmay er speak in a debate with his opponent at the District Attor ney's Summer Conference in June of this year. He really impressed me with his an swers to questions of interest In all Oregonians. He is exceptionally well qualified by attitude and experience. He is very intelli gent, has been involved with the legal system in Oregon both as a practicing attorney and as a law maker in the legislature, and is nationally recognized as an authority on constitutional law. Addition ally, and perhaps most importantly-, his integrity is unquest ioned. I have seldom met any candidates that I felt would make a real difference in public office. Dave Frohn mayer will make a difference. I am a registered Democrat and Dave is Republican. I sincerely hope everyone will look at the issues and - the candidte. rather than the party lines. I hope everyone can meet and-or listen to Dave and hear his views. Then I ask that you vote for the man who is by far the best-Dave Frohnmayer. He is the one candidate who has a real concern for the people. Annetta L. Spicer Heppner 'No' is no way On behalf of the Morrow County Court. I would like to comment on the mistaken notion held by some people that the only way to express dissatisfaction with county government is to vote "no" on the county budget. Voting "no" is not an effective wav to deal with the Sept. 20 FRIDAY Sept. 19 o to o p.m. 'SATURDAY Sept. 20 M VI MM ecu A to 9 n.m. to; W problem. In fact, it is probably the poorest way. Voting "no" does nothing to identify the specific reason for the discon tent. It ' only produces a guessing situation for the budget preparers. Another way to deal with dissatisfaction is to attend scheduled budget hearings or meetings of the County Court held every Wednesday. It is a direct method and gets to the root of the matter quickly. People are welcome to ex press opinions and are heart ily encouraged to do so. Stating the reason for discon tent is a lot cheaper than paying for a series of elect ions. Holding the budget hostage as a means of dealing with dissatisfaction creates untold hardships for Morrrow County employees. The Morrow County Court invites all criti cism to be voiced directly rather than by casting nega tive votes that affect the lifeblood of county govern ment. Dnrothv Krebs. Commissioner Misled? I would like to thank the chairman of the Democratic Central Committee for his public explanation of why he. rather than the clerk, dis played voter registration mat erials at the Democratic Party fair booth. Perhaps I was misled by the fad that the "REGISTER TO VOTE HERE" sign was displayed earlier; or by the fact that the personal cam paign materials of the incum bent clerk were immediately adjacent : or by the fact that our election laws empower only the clerk to "...appoint officials to accept registration ...at designated locations..."; or by the fact that our election laws specify that these app- ointments and locations shall be in writing and filed in the office of the county clerk; or by the fact that our election laws specify that "The county clerk shall be responsible for the performance of duties by those appointed." I promise, if elected, to discharge these legal respon sibilities and, as elections officer, to furnish fair and non partisan public service.
