Against Measure 5
Letters to the Editor
Roberts doesn’t quit
To the Editor.
Last February a courageous
Oregonian announced her candidacy
for governor of the state of Oregon.
She had no million dollar campaign
fund, she had no detailed campaign
plan hatched over the two years, and
she had no statewide network of
campaign offices. But she did have
a clear vision for Oregon and the
willingness to work hard to let
Oregonians know about that vision.
Running for governor was not the
safe choice nor was it the easy choice
for she was starting from way
behind. But Barbara Roberts has
grit, she's been against the odds most
of her professional life and she’s
beaten those odds time and time
again and besides this time the future
of Oregon was at stake.
Barbara Roberts cares deeply
about people, she is a working
women of humble beginnings who
knows that the most important value
that people want in their leaders is
to tell them the truth no matter how
unpopular that truth may be. I think
very few would dispute that Barbara
Roberts is a hard worker or that
she’s willing to take on the tough
jobs and as this campaign has shown
she certainly doesn’t try to hedge her
positions.
Last April, Barbara Roberts stop
ped in Pendleton on her first
statewide campaign swing, at that
time most people were saying she
couldn’t win, but Barbara has pro
ven them wrong. Through her
toughness, ability and sheer deter
mination she has gained the broad
based support of Oregonians so that
now she can win. I believe Barbara
Roberts should be our next gover
nor, she will be a governor of all the
people, she will never sidestep the
tough choices and she will be one of
the hardest working governors in our
state’s history. Barbara Roberts is a
courageous leader who will always
put Oregonians first, I urge you to
cast your ballot on November 6 for
Barbara Roberts, governor.

Vote yes on Measure 8
To the Editor:
We face an issue that has
everything to do with right and
wrong and the decency of the human
race. More than a million and a half
abortions are performed in the
United States each year, while the
National Committee on Adoption
reports over three million couples
waiting, many times for years, for
the opportunity to adopt. A million
and a half abortions. Do that many
people truly lack all natural feeling
toward their own flesh and blood? It
seems completely incomprehensible.
If a strict abortion law passes, we
are told some women would turn to
“ back alley” abortions and some
could possibly have severe com
plications from it. We hope that
would not happen, but they have a
choice. We hear so much about
choices. The unborn child has no
choice in an abortion and its fate is
certain death. Maybe legislation will
help women to see it’s not okay, like
we’ve been told by so many pro
paganda sources. Are we a brain
washed people as those Hitler con
vinced that Jews were really
nonhumans and worthy of exter
mination? Wrong is not right just
because someone says it is.
The prebom person cannot be
bom into our advanced and civiliz
ed society where doctors are train
ed to take lives rather than save
them. And the temporary home of
their own mother’s womb is no
longer a safe place to be.
We cannot condone this crime nor
look the other way in apathy. Our
cause for human rights for all human
beings is not lost. The race will be
close. Voting yes on Measure 8 will
show your support for solving social
problems through positive methods.
Killing innocent life is not an accep
table solution.
Signed,

To the Editor:
As a property owner, I am very
concerned with the high property
taxes I pay in Oregon. However, I
do not see Measure 5 as the answer
to the problem. 1 see Measure 5 as
a tourniquet. We have a severe loss
of blood (property taxes) and some
property owners want to stop the
flow with a tourniquet (Measure 5).
Unfortunately, current first-aid
techniques tell us that when you app
ly a tourniquet, you expect to lose
any part of the body below it.
Therefore, Measure 5 will stem the
flow of property taxes, but by doing
so, will jeopardize the programs now
funded by property taxes, ie., local
schools, governments, higher educa
tion, etc. This is not a "solution” to
the problem, but a stopgap measure
creating several new problems.
Proponents of this measure will
tell you that the state will make up
the difference between current fun
ding and what will be lost from pro
perty taxes if Measure 5 passes. This
is not necessarily true. There is no
dollar-fo r-d o llar
replacem ent
guarantee in this measure. For the
state to even come close to replace
ment monies would take 68 percent
of the general fund by 1996 and this
is strictly maintenance funding
without improvements. Also, taking
this much out of the general fund
would seriously deplete funding to
other important state programs.
1 think the effect of this measure
that should most concern our local
residents, however, is the fact that
if the state takes over the majority
of funding for local programs it will
also take over the control. We, as
taxpayers, will no longer have any
significant say in how our schools
and governments are run. The state
will dictate what we will do or they
will pull funding. Remember how
the 55 mph speed limit was put in by
the threat of pulling highway fun
ding. In conclusion, I would like to
say again that 1 am not happy with
the high property taxes 1 have to pay,
but I prefer this method of funding
to one that will create more problems
than it solves. Please join me and
vote no on Measure 5.
Thank you.

Mobley only real choice
To the Editor:
If you are like me you like to hear
good news. Well here is some: This
election you and I have a chance to
take back our state. Professional
politicians and pompous bureaucrats
have been telling us what to do for
too long. “ We the people” have
become the servants of the govern
ment. It’s time we change things
back to the way they are supposed
to be.
I support A1 Mobley for governor
because he will work to give the
government back to the people. Mrs.
Roberts, I feel, is very genuine and
I applaud her integrity but I disagree
with her liberal views. M r.
Frohnmayer-well, if he can’t decide
where he stands I sure can't. Just to
cité one instance of many: At the Oc
tober 23 debate Mr. Mobley stated:
“ I find many of the solutions that
come forward in our government
and with the candidates that are run
ning for governor this time, right off
the top of our heads. I don't think
a proper analysis has been made to
find out where we need to go. I think
the first thing to do is to make an
analysis o f where we a r e .”
Frohnmayer’s closing statement he
said: “ I’m the only candidate with
the capability of saying, let’s take a
fresh look at every single program *
that government is doing. If it’s ser
ving us well then let’s make sure it’s
nourished, if it’s not it’s time to start
over.
Mr. Frohnmayer obviously has a
hard time divesting himself from his
training as an attorney, so maybe he
should stick to being one. On the
other hand he already is a career
politician, so if he doesn't win this
election he has a lot to lose.
Mr. Mobley has nothing to lose.
The salaries of the heads of Oregon’s
higher education institutions are
higher than that of governor. Mr.
Mobley isn’t a career politician so
his continued income and career
status are not at stake. As a matter
of fact I’m sure he would have much
fewer headaches if he didn’t win. He
could just go back into retirement
and if things go from bad to worse
he could simply move out of Oregon
if he chose.
Then why is Mr. Mobley seeking
to become Oregon’s next governor?
Because like the rest of us he has felt
the crunch o f unrestrained
bureaucracy and run-away govern
ment. He has grandchildren he wants
to see grow up in a free, democratic
society. He is a man of integrity and
principles and we need him. Please
join me in voting for A1 Mobley on
November 6. And, thank you Al-for
myself, for my children and for
Oregon.

Elk Hunting
Prospects
Promising
¡Ü S * ' i l i
Elk hunters in eastern and central
Oregon this year can look forward to
success potentials at least equal to those
enjoyed during the 1989 season, area
biologists say, due to stable or increas
ing populations over much of the region
and to good availability of bulls.
According to Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife biologist Greg Con-
cannon of Prineville, hunters who have
drawn permits to hunt the Ochoco unit
in either the first or second season
should stand a good chance of finding
a bull.
“ It (hunting success) should be on par with the past couple of years
where we’ve been experiencing hunter success that ranges pretty close
to what we see in some of the other better units in eastern Oregon,”
Concannon said.
One reason the Ochoco unit is popular among elk hunters, the biologist
said, is up to 50 percent of the harvest is typically comprised of mature,
branch-antlered bulls.
“ Our census information from last spring indicates continued growth
in the elk population. W e're meeting or exceeding our bull ratios, it ap
pears, and so with those factors combined and under the right kind of
conditions, we could have even a better harvest than last year.”
Concannon said elk numbers are increasing and are well distributed
in the limited-entry Grizzly and Maury units as well, where good suc
cess is also expected.
Eastward, elk population are at or above management objectives in
the Murderers Creek, Northside and Beulah units, also open only to
hunters who have drawn the appropriate tags.
District Wildlife biologist Greg Hattan of John Day said while bull
ratios in the Murderers Creek and Beulah units are meeting prescribed
management objectives, they are only slightly below in some areas of
Northside. These objectives call for the survival of at least 15 bulls per
100 cows after each elk season. As for this year’s pre-season estimates,
he said, “ I’m pretty sure it would be close to thirty (bulls per 100 cows)
when you add last year’s recruitment in.”
These figures suggest that about half the bulls will be branch-antlered
animals while spikes will make up the remainder.
“ That shows up in the kill, too,” Hattan concurred, “ because we get
(a harvest of) about 50 percent branch bulls.”
Hattan said that unfortunately, most units which show favorable elk
numbers and bull ratios along with good hunter success do so because
hunter numbers in these areas are controlled by the limited-entry tag
drawing process.
“ We could allow more hunters if we could have fewer roads and more
cover,” he said. “ The habitat (accessibility) is what’s limiting hunter
numbers-that’s true for both deer and elk.
“ What we want is for the land-management agencies to manage the
road system so we don’t have to have cooperative road closures. They
should build that right into their timber sales, to close roads after their
use.”
Many hunters who did not apply for or failed to draw limited-entry
elk tags can purchase a general-season elk tag to hunt the Beulah unit,
where populations and bull ratios are also at management objectives.
Due to heavy hunting pressure, however, bulls (many of which are spikes)
can be managed at only seven per 100 cows.
Other general-season areas include the Heppner and Fossil units,
though lack of escapement habitat in most areas open to public hunting
is expected to reduce bull numbers at the onset.
“ We’ve got some pretty good elk populations.” said Heppner biologist
Bob Krein. “ The problem is, hunter density is going to be so high that
our season can probably be expected to last about a day and a half or
two and the cream of the crop is going to be gone. It’s been that way
for several years.”
