I .-9-5 FREE CONSULTATION mm r I I 1 V '1- Robert F. 'Bob' Smith, one of the most skilled lawmakers to serve in the Oregon Legislature, can easily hit the ground running in Washington if elected to Congress in the 2nd District. 1 Smith, 51, a cattle rancher and businessman in Harney County, where he was born, is the minority leader in the Oregon Senate. He serv ed two terms as speaker of the Oregon House. In Salem, he compiled a distinguished record of leadership, winning support from both parties. Clearly, he can quickly become a strong voice for his district in Washington. His knowledge and experience in dealing with many different legislative issues gives him a big advantage over the average freshman, including those in the majority party. Smith's opponent is Larryann Willis, 35, a hard-charging liberal Democrat who has not held any public office, but who has risen rapidly in the past two years in the party ap paratus to the post of Democratic National Executive Committee member. She has a lot of political magnetism, and last May easily defeated a former legislator, Al Deasmore, and others in the Democratic primary. But there are few activities in her background to qualify her, either by experience or training, for dealing with complex problems in Washington, D.C. Her arguments on major issues are more tuned for campaigning than for seeking solu tions. For example: She would not erode Social Security pension benefits, which is the same position that Smith holds. But she iasists Social Security has no funding problem, although experts in the field differ only on how the program should be reformed, not whether it is running in the red and thus threatening pension payments. The Legislature is a marvelous training school, a place where many Oregonians have learned how to deal with state and local issues, gaining valuable tools to use in reducing government burdens. State Sen. Smith has been a conservative on most fiscal issues, but he is not a doctrinaire, one-issue candidate. He supports a constitutional amendment re quiring a balanced federal budget. He opposes Reagan's record-deficit budget, arguing this could have been avoided without increasing taxes by trimming fat out of the military. He also supports a freeze on nuclear weapons development. Smith's long experience in state affairs makes him an avid supporter of the administra tion's "new federalism" proposals to return some of the federal responsibilities to the states. He believes in many cases the states can do the job cheaper and better. ' A hard campaign is being waged in an expanded 2nd District, which is the third largest congressional district in the United States and larger than 34 states. The 77,000-square-mile district has urban problems, cattle and wheat issues, lumber mill unemployment and needs for more tourist dollars. Its broad horizons contain most of the Oregon land mass, requiring vigilant management, development and care in how tax burdens are imposed. Representing the district is a large order. It is not a post for on-the-job training. But even against a person of more experience, Bob Smith would deserve the support of voters because he is a highly competent, compassionate and tight-fisted legislator who has demonstrated the very qualities most Oregonians have long admired.
