T o Use Editor:
In a predominately rural state such
as Oregon, which depends almost
wholly on an adequate distribution
system to service its far-flung
population, it is strange that our
G o vern o r and h igh er-echelon
legislators are hastening the demise
o f (Mir equitable distribution o f
medicines and gas These people are
presently advocating discriminatory
pricing policies and mail order
prescriptions
And the Federal
government, the administrator o f
Medicaid and Medicare, is ad
vocating giving physicians willing to
dispense medicine $10,000 com
puters to aid them in the process
I am distressed that Oregon is
leading the way down the path to the
demolition o f all businesses other
than **big." Our Governor and
legislators appear to have bought the
premise that what is good for big
government, big business, and big
medicine is also just and good for all
the state's citizens When many small
businesses such as pharmacies are
gone (essentially by government
decree), and you need emergency
medication (or pneumonia, if events
proceed as presently unfolding, you
will he picking up your medications
at your physician's o r your
hospital's dispensing room Any
questions you have concerning your
prescriptions may or may not he
answered, depending on whoever is
dispensing m your instance

Tnc service stations in rural areas
arc in the same situation The state
o f Oregon, by acquiescing to card

rather than bein g lim ited to
businesses, will effectively cut out

destroyed and this will create a
domino effecl in rural areas Small
businesses are important in our
country, but big government, big
business and big medic ine can see no
further than their own importance
Small businesses arc expendable in
their view
It does not appear that these things

I was asked a little over a year ago
to be on the Board o f Governors o f
the Oregon Retail Council The on
ly perception I have gained from ikv
mg this is that the deck is already
stacked
Anyone who values the present
system and lifestyle now available in
Oregon needs to call their legislator
You can contact them by using the
state's toll-free access system This
number is 1-800-327-7389 The
system works on a “ call back"
basis Leave messages and your call

the session I believe you can register
your opinions with the person
answering this number and it will be
forwarded to your legislator Or con
sult your local newspaper for your
legislator’ s phone number in Salem
And w h ile asking g iv e the
newspaper your reasons for calling
If you canntK get your message
through by phone, please write

At a recent Boardman City budget
hearing, a Councilman is quoted as
saying the budget was too big. but he
just couldn't see any place to cut it
There's the same problem with the na
tional and state budgets, everyone
agrees they are too big but nobody can
figure out a way to cut
The school district has figured out a
way when the voters just plain say no
The cuts are always painful and usual
ly fall "unfairly " They always base
Hs Ed Glenn
consequences thought hy v>me to he
undesirable, but budgets can always be
cut It really can he done
But it only happens when it absolutely must W e don't know o f any
governmental entity that reduced its budget when it was not absolutely
necessary In the case o f the school district, the voters simply would not
approve more taxes In the case o f the state and federal budgets, the voters
have no voice
They don't have a voice in Boardman either The city has a huge tax
have approved a few years ago on the promise that "we ll never use it
all. we just want to have it in case unusual circumstances require it sometime
in the future " The voters wised up and rejected that same lie from the
school board the last time they offered a tax base
Only after Boardman'» "unusual circumstances" budget was adopted
dKl the city fathers "d is c o v e r" that state law sets the tax base at ( 11 the
approved tax base or (2) the highest tax levy o f the past three years
whichever is lower So you just can't let a huge tax base lie unused Use
it or lose it is the word o f the day And Boardman intends to use it
And that makes the city’ s tax rate more than $10 per thousand More
than Ihc school district's Ncarl> twice the county's rate And that makes
Boardman rank in the top 20 o f 260 cities in Oregon About half o f those
Cities operate on hall o f the lax rate folks pay in Boardman
Incidentally. Boardman is not alone Heppner and Irrigon arc both over
$8 and Morrow County is one o f the top counties in the state
Our friend, the Councilman, has missed one place where some savings
might be realized
A major part o f the city 's general fund expenditure provides a police
force in the city With the county sheriff and his deputies and the State
police all passing through town, there has long been a sizable group o f
taxpayers that question the need for a city police force
That question has been intensified recently when the Boardman Chief
ot (5>hcc went on record as favoring the closure ol all businesses that sell
alcoholic beverages
Ix t's sec. that's two restaurants with lounges, one with a motel, a tavern,
the mayor’ s own grocery store, two convenience stores with gas stations,
one with a bulk fuel business, and a City councilman s phamiacy/liquor
store. (The local winery is outside the city limits, thank goodness )
There wouldn't be much left o f the Boardman business district if the
C hief were to have his way Certainly not enough to require police
protection.
At a time when the Boardman city fathers arc scrabbling to find jobs
for folks in town, to save the jobs that are already here and to promote
some new growih through new jobs, it seems strange that little objection
to the C h ie fs wish to shut 'em down has surfaced
W e've done a little informal head count and it Wn>ks like nearly 100 jobs
arc provided by businesses that sell alcoholic beverages W c can imagine
how excited every one would be if a new employer would conic to town
looking to employ 100 people
Bui when the Mayor was accosted with the C h iefs position, lu.- |ust laugh
ed it o ff and the City Manager dismissed it all by saying there wasn't
anything he could do either
As I see it. if our Counc ilman friend were really serious about a budget
that's too big, he could save a hunch o f money by eliminating the one force
in town that wants to shut 'em down But maybe he's not really serious
after all
