LETTERS romE EDITOR
Vote no on 3
To the editor:
As election day draws near
er, I believe Oregon voters
should take a second look at
the consequences of Ballot
Measure Three.
I have been a property
taxpayer in Oregon for three
years. I have also paid taxes
in California. It is my opinion
that Oregon's tax, as it stands
now, is not by any means
excessive when compared to
other states' and, with the
homeowners' credit, is practi
cally reasonable. In light of
the fact that there is no state
sales tax I don't feel we have
anything to complain about.
By nature, an across-the-board
cut such as is proposed
by Measure Three benefits
most those who pay the most
in taxes; large business and
landlords. These groups, who
don't benefit from the home
owner's credit, have by far the
most to gain from the passage
of Measure Three. The sav
ings to the small individual
homeowner are negligible at
best and certainly would not
offset the disruption of ser
vices that would result from
the measure's passage.
. In theory bills like Measure
Three and California's Propo
sition 13 seem like a good idea,
in practice they are worded in
such a general manner, with
the cuts left up to the legisla
ture, they most severely affect
those programs which are
of most direct service to the
public.
At a time when Oregon is in
a poor financial situation and
unemployment is at record
levels Ballot Measure Three is
an ill-timed, ill-advised
answer for the vast majority
of the voting public. Don't
save big business thousands at
the expense of school closure
and job loss. Vote NO on Ballot
Measure Three!

To the editor:
We need a federal govern

ness like manner. Congress
men that have met a payroll in
private life and understand
the meaning of a balanced
budget.
Oregon could contribute to
this fine cause by sending
Denny Smith and Bob Smith
(no relation) to Washington,
D.C. in the November elect
tion. Doesn't that sound ap
pealing? Sincerely yours,
Donna Teeter

To the editor:
Bob Smith provides the
people of the Second Congres
sional district of Oregon with
an opportunity of a very quali
fied state legislator to perform
nationally.
Bob's experience in the
Oregon State Senate as a
leader for a good period of
time would be very valuable in
Washington, D.C. He under
stands what it takes to make
government operate.
Senator Smith is also a very
successful small business man
as a cattle rancher in the
Burns area.
Use your vote wisely. Vote
for BOB SMITH.

Editorial
Elect Kendrick
From theCorvallis
GatetttsTlmes.
In May the Gazette-Times
urged voters to re-elect Verne
Duncan as state superinten
dent of public instruction.
Since then we've changed our
mind. In the November 2
runoff Oregonians should elect
Duncan's opponent Bill
Kendrick, superintendent of
the Salem School District.
Last spring, our reasoning
went like this: Duncan hadn't
done anything to deserve be
ing tossed out of office. What's
more, organizations with an
interest in education divided
more or less evenly in support
for Duncan's two opponents.
That fact suggested Duncan
had done a good job of balanc
ing competing interests.
Since the primary election,
however, an interesting thing
has happened. Every group
involved in education has
lined up behind Kendrick..
Statewide organizations rep-'
resenting teachers, school
boards, principals, adminis
trators, labor unions... you
name the group, it backs
Kendrick.
Duncan has done nothing to
deserve the opposition of the
educational establishment.
His problem is that he hasn't
done enough to earn their
active support. All the groups
backing Kendrick want
schools to receive more
money from the state. They
blame Duncan for failing to
prevent a decline in the pre
centage of school costs paid by
the state.
It's an open question
whether a superintendent with
a different style of leadership
could wring more money from
the state Legislature. But or
ganizations that place a high
priority on education think a
change is worth a try. Since
state support for public
schools is a direct form of

property tax relief, taxpayers
should feel the some way.
Kendrick and Duncan aren't
that far apart on the issues.
The difference lies in how they
would approach them. Duncan
is reserved and scholarly;
Kendrick is energetic and
plainspoken. Duncan is a lot
like Roy Ueuallen, former
chancellor of the state System
of Higher Education;
Kendrick is more like Lieu
allen's successor, William
"Bud" Davis.
Duncan has served two
four-year terms as superin
tendent. During that time he
has done what he said he
would do: let local school
districts manage their own
affairs and provide assistance
when needed. Duncan has
steered clear of legislative
politics, to the annoyance of
some legislators, and has let
his subordinates be his lobby
ists. Kendrick says Duncan has
remained so aloof from local
affairs that many school offi
"cials don't even know what
state services are available.
He would make sure school
districts, especially small
ones, receive the assistance
they deserve from his office.
And at a time when every
state service is vulnerable to
state budget cuts, Kendrick
would assume direct respon
sibility for legislative rela
tions. Duncan is a capable admin
istrator whose tenure has been
free of major errors. It is
tempting to recommend that
he be allowed to continue his
work. Kendrick, however,
promises to be a more active,
visible and perhaps contro
versial superintendent. He has
a solid background in educa
tion and administration. Vo
ters should give Kendrick a
chance to put his energy and
optimisn to work for Oregon's
public schools.
