.Smith s seat in the senate when
Smith went on to the Congress says
he lias spent his first session in stale
government establishing credibil
its with other lawmakers there
They say freshmen legilators
should ho seen and not heard, and to
an extent that * true. " he told the
chamber
"There'» nothing they
dislike worse than a mouthy new
comer
For this reason he says he
spent most of the time getting
acquainted with the system and
establishing his credibility
Timms does point to a couple of
accomplishments he attained while
in the senate, most noticeably the
appointment of an Kastern Oregon
man to the water resources board
" I was influential with the governor
in having Hill Kramer appointed to
the water resources board I think
that's the most important thing I've
done in Salem, he said, and it
wouldn t have happened if I hadn't
talked to the governor "
Timms said there were no people
from Kastern Oregon on the board,
even though water resources are
very important in this part of the
slate
Timms pointrd out that he is a
successful businessman, which he
says is an asset in government
"There is nothing wrong with a
person t>eing successful Free enter
prise is what this country is all
about VAe have to get out of the
habit of because someone is unem
ployed we elect them and send them
to Salem
Smith said he is qualified for office
because he is a salesman
I'm qualified because I'm a
salesman You have to go to Salem
and sell Kastern Oregon You have
to influence people, he said
Timms' opponent. Mark Stringer,

attended the chamber of commerce
luncheon

in Nyssa, was manager of "Oregon's

make a good state representative
"le a n relate to the m ajority of our
problems here," he told the cham
ber We can no longer accept the
dictates of the urban areas "
Stringer says the urban areas of
the sta.e "don t realize our needs
Wr need a strong link between them
and us "
Speaking on opportunity of Kast
ern Oregon he pointed out that wr
have experienced "the brunt of the
economic woes ”
Stringrr says we have an excellent
opportunity to ship our products tu
the Pacific rim countries and we
should be working more on this
Timms is a personable fellow but
he s lackluster." he says of his
opponent in this race " I would be
more dynamic "
On current issues. Stringer says
he is against a sales tax. unless a 1 5
percent tax lim itation is passed by
voters, then I would be in favor of
the sales tax to make up lost
revenue "
Republican Bob Smith made a
swing through Heppner. visiting the
Kinzua M ill, and making a stop at
the Morrow County Fair Monday
Smith toured the new Kinzua
electrical cogeneration plant, talk

at the mills front gate
Smith said Oregon's economy has
not caught up with the rest of the
country . and it is high interest rate*
holding down construction which
hurt us
As in the last campaign. Smith
favors a constitutional amendment
requiring a balanced federal budget
This would restrict the government
from borrowing large amounts of
money and driving up the price of
capital available, he said
