On October 23, 1*287 two of Polk
County's most respected cm/ens
were murdered in their beds by
Michael Rohert Tucker On that date
Tucker, who had previously been
convicted of heating a woman to
death in Vancouver. Washington,
broke into the rural home of Robert
Farmer, age 70. and Barbara
Farmer, age 71, in order to commit
a burglary Finding the couple at
home. Tucker simply crept into their
bedrooms and. without warning,
shot each in the face at point blank
range
Tucker was anested by the Polk
County Sheriffs Office in December
of 1*287 He was indicted by the
Grand Jury for multiple counts of ag
gravated murder, robbery and
burglary As District Attorney for
Polk County it became my duty to
prosecute the case As you arc pro
bably aware, death penalty cases arc
among the most difficult and com
plicated cases in Oregon. I felt that
in order to completely prepare the
case I would need the assistance of
an experienced career prosecutor I
asked my friend. Morrow County
District Attorney Jeff Wallace, to
help
Over the last ten months Jeff has
given up his evenings and weekends
in order to help me prepare for the
case When the trial began in Oc
tober. Jeff stayed in Dallas handling
significant portions of the evidence
presentation He was also doing his
job for Morrow County by working
nights and commuting home
weekends On October 17 the jury
found Tucker guilty of aggravated
murder, robbery and burglary On
November *2 the same jury sentenc
ed Tucker to the death penalty
I would at this time like to public
ly express my gratitude to Jeff
Wallace for his invaluable help in
this case, and to the people of Mor
| Congratulations on your
row County for allow ing Jeff to do
1 2nd place at State. You* what he did This case not only
showed that small county pro

Report
Economic
Indicators
We've all heard reports about how
the "Index of Economic Indicators"
tells us that times are good And most
of us look about and ask "Where'1*'
We're told that some forward looking
indicator tells us some future time will
be even better And mow of us wonder
how they can see so far into the future
The presidential campaign debated
the ' goodness'' of the past eight years,
one side calling a a period of prosper)
ty. the other promising even better
B> Fd Glenn
times Just the other day our Governor
_______________
_
said times were so good, we should
spend more lax money than we can
afford.
Incidentally, our new representative is in a real box He's pledged to
us not to lift tl»e state spending limit svhen his own party has sowed to
do jusi that We'll see.
But about the economy, most of us don't trust the "Index ’’ Wc never
see the boom associated with a nsc in wholesale orders, or a drop in the
foreign trade deficit Sometimes I think the news about economic prosperity
is generated by the press in order to sell papers And if they can make
it promising enough, and sell enough more papers, then sure enough, pro
sperity comcs--lo the newspapers
All is not idle copy for the mass media, however This writer has a
reliable, visible and verifiable index of economic propserity And this is
just the time of year this index tell* it* story
As I see it. the most reliable indicator is the "New Pickup Count Just
this morning, the coffee shop was abuzz with congratulations to one of
the regulars who showed up in brand new pickup Reports of our friends
and neighbors who had either bought or who were looking came from every
corner
Used pickup* count too. generally indicating a trade up
All of us can keep score but looking to see who is driving a new rig
(and who is not) And when the coffee shop parking lot shoves few. if any.
familiar old pickup*, we can measure the magnitude of the "recovery "
Not to be left behind, we. too, arc driving a "new" pickup a 1965
Dodge given us by the mothcr-in law
