Letters to the Editor
Ask for paper bags
To the* editor
Recently, Oregon Women for Tim
tier members have encountered
plastic carry out sacks in certain
Oregon supermarkets
As people whose families depend
upon the forest products industry for
their livelihood we know that paper
hags are wholly manufactured with
in the State of Oregon, using Oregon
labor and the by products of Oregon
mills Plastic hags are generated
outside the slate and often outside of
the U S
Oregon forests provide sales of 16
billion la* revenues of f23<> million
and jobs for BO.uuu people annually
Yet. during these economic times
many are left unemployed, especial
ly in forest oriented communities
Using plastic bags hardly seems fair
lo them
We urge you to ask your grocer to
use Oregon products like the handy,
recyclable paper bags, made from
Oregon's greatest renewable re
source

The voters of Oregon have spoken
But what did they say'
That's a question observers of the scene in Salem are pondering following
balloting during last week s general election
Despite a preponderance of registered Democrats. Oregonians followed
suit with voters in all but one other state and returned Republican President
Ronald Reagan to office for a second term
At the same time they reelected all congressional incumbents three
Republicans and three Democrats
When it came to statewide offices, voters reelected GOP Attorney
General Dave Krohnmayer. elected appointed State Treasurer Bill
Rutherford from the same party and chose Democratic candidate Barbara
Roberts to be their next Secretary of State
Coupled with result* of other statewide partisan contests, electing a
Democrat to the latter office for the first time in more than a century doesn’t
exactly establish a trend or hint a switch in the electorate s philosophical
persuasion
There are those, however, who view the ultimate outcome of legislative
races as an indication the 63rd Legislative Assembly w ill be a more
conservative body when it convenes in regular session Monday. January 14
That premise appears to be based largely on the all important numbers
game lawmakers play when they meet in Salem In legislative parlance
there are two magic number* 16 and 31 They represent majorities in the
30 member Senate and 60 member House of Representatives respectively
Whichever party achieves those numberi or more in the two chambers
pretty much controls the manner in which the Assembly's business is
conducted and the ultimate outcome of issues brought before it
Democrats have maintained sustantial majorities in both House and
Senate since achieving that goal during the elections of 1972 I'urrent
Democratic party domination of the legislature has extended for the longest
period in the state's history Prior to the present 14 year string. Demos only
controlled House and Senate sim ultaneously twice in the middle Thirties
and three times in the late Fifties and early Sixties
Voters this year opted to extend Democrat control of the Oregon
legislature (or at least two more years But some observers see erosion of
(hat control as an indication the next Assembly w ill be more conservative
Final figures in the latest Salem numbers game won't hr known until all
votes are counted, of course, and any possible recounts are tallied and
challenges resolved Ijite results are due in part to extensive efforts by
Republican candidates to influence absentee voters, most of whose ballots
are not totalled until long after polls close
As election week drew to a close however, it appeared Republicans had
gained at least three Senate seats and might pick up a fourth That would
raise their numbers to t2 or 13- as large or larger than their minority
numbers have been since 1972 That possibility is particularly encouraging
(o GOP Senators, whose numbers dwindled to as low as six in 1976 and rose
only to nine in 1982
( hi the House side it appeared Republicans had a clear net gain of only one
seat hut late vote counting could raise that number two more for a total of 27
While still four short of m ajority status, that many Republican House
member*
coupled with conservative Democrats
could produce a
moderate voting stance when it comes to considering liberal issues
The 1983 Assembly was considered a moderate body prior to convening its
IHHday second longest session in history that collapsed in disarray over
inability lo achiev e consensus on rev enue reform That pre session forecast
was based largely on the fact the 62nd legislature contained a sizeable
number of experienced members and few inexperienced newcomers
Depending on the outcome of late ballot counting, the 63rd Assembly will
contain an almost identical number of inexperienced newcomers The mix
of male and female House and Senate members won't change much either
although women will sustain a total net loss in numbers of two or three
Some observer* give the split of sexes some consideration, believing that
men generally are more conservative leaning on social issues
one thing that apparently failed again to materialize at the polls was a
solid indication that voters were as critical of the last Assembly as was
indicated by news coverage last session Balloting did creat a citizen utility
board, a state lottery, restore the death penalty and establish a degree of
environmental overkill regarding naturally occurring radioactive waste
all issues considered and discarded by the last Assembly
But a whisker thin majority of voter* resisted the temptation to compound
Oregon * revenue dilemma by adopting the oft-proposed 111 percent
property tax limitation
And voting did not force any mass exodus of incumbents
Taken together, the message conveyed by voters at general election polls
is far from sharply defined And although it's obvious they did speak, one
has to await the outcome of deliberations in Salem next year to determine
how loudly and if anyone heard
