Letters to the Editor
Cooley understands Eastern Oregon
To the Editor:
When Wes Cooley spoke
recently, I heard someone who
understands that control of how
we use our land belongs with us.
I ’m tired of government run by
environmentalists telling me what
I can do with the land I own.
Right now, Barbara Roberts has
the power to appoint people to
LCDC. Mr. Cooley says they
should be elected. We’re suppos
ed to be cutting government spen
ding in Oregon. Instead, LCDC’s
budget just keeps soaring.
I am supporting Wes Cooley
for Senate District 28 because he
understands that we earn our liv
ing and lead lives very different
from Portland and Willamette
Beltway citizens.
Sincerely,
(s) Dr. Stan Wells
Hood River
Wes Cooley understands life in
Eastern Oregon
Wes Cooley is running against
Wayne Fawbush for the Oregon
State Senate and I’m definitely
supporting Cooley. Fawbush has
been in Salem for
16
y e a rs.. .th at’s long enough.
Things are gelling worse for us
in eastern Oregon, more land use
control, more rules, more taxes
and fees. It’s time for a change.
I think Wes Cooley really
understands how to help eastern
Oregon in the legislative.
Sincerely,
(s) Bob Borgen
Baker City
Time for a change
ed with him. He also believes in
term limitations, so he will not try
to build a life time career as a
legislator. Wes Cooley earns his
living farming and in business,
just like the rest of us do. He has
my support all the way.
Yours truly,
(s) Sally Neal
Hood River
To the Editor:
It is time for a change. We need
a state senator in District 28 that
will support our agriculture and
timber industries. We also need
some new blood. 1 want a senator
that will listen to me and not tell
me what is good for me. I have
met Wes Cooley and am impress-
Cooley’s residency is nonsense
To the Editor:
Mr. Cooley’s claim to residen
cy in Crook County, based on a
camp trailer that isn’t even hook
ed up to utilities, is nonsense.
He shouldn't be allowed to run
for office using a trick like this.
But if he is, no one should be sur
prised when his campaign pro
mises turn out to be as “ tran
sient” as his residency.
Sincerely,
(s) Sheila Ford Richmond

To the Editor:
I was very impressed with Wes
Cooley when I met him recent
ly. Wes is running for State
Senate in District 28, which
covers much of Eastern Oregon,
including Hood River county.
Wes
is
not
only
a
farmer/businessman and family
man, but he has also been very
active working on land use,

Justice Court
____ Report
Last week I pointed out how the
farmer of the future would be king.
Farm production will be reduced in
the next few years by the set aside of
wet lands, green strips and preserva
tion of riparian lands. Minimum
stream flows will reduce irrigation,
health scares will limit farm
chemicals and a desire to restore
wildlife to some former level will all
cut into farm production.
At the same time, population will
continue to explode five billion peo
ple world wide will become 10 billion
in just 40 years. The same 40 years
that a young man or woman today
could expect to be a fanner. What an
opportunity.
But one of the age old truths about farming is no longer true. Fanners
for centuries have felt that it was essential to own their own land. That s
no longer wise.
The very same forces that will put pressure on farm production, work
against land ownership. The folks who want wet lands set aside for
birds, put that obligation on the landowner. The folks who demand
green belts, demand that of landowners. When the DEQ demanded
that the fuel takes at the school bus bam be cleaned up, it was the Mor
row County School District who spent tens of thousands of dollars to
do so.
Water rights that will disappear in favor of fish passage will be the
water rights of some land owner. The common enemy of the forces
that affect this country is the landowner.
And it’s not just farm land owners. Owners of residential property,
whether for rental or for their own occupancy, are the folks who pay
for maintaining societal demands. In the past, most real property was
worth more than the costs for taxes, and meeting governmental regula
tion. That value spread will soon disappear altogether.
As the cost of meeting clean air, clean water, clear space and pro
tection of endangered species goes up, the value of land will go down,
because it is mostly the land owner who pays those costs. As society
demands more wilderness, more buffer zones, more wet lands, more
protection of ground water and better stream flows, the value of the
land that depends on those resources will disappear. As those values
approach zero, the conversion to socialism will be complete.
I have long felt, without saying so, that the great environmental move
ment has some strong socialist overtones. Just today, a friend of mine
voiced the same sentiments. Socialism is a system whereby everyone
owns everything, so that nobody owns anything. When the downtown
Portland or Seattle yuppies are able to make enough decisions about
what I can do and not do with my land in Boardman, pretty soon it
is very much like we all own that property, and thus no one owns it.
And that’s certainly the way we are headed. Moie and more folks
who don’t own a piece of property are feeling like it is their right to
control how that property is used. When that control becomes absolute,
then the conversion to capitalism is complete.
Tomorrow’s farmer will be king, but tomorrow’s farm will be within
the total control of everyone other than the owner. Be a farmer. That
is a bright future. But don’t own land. It will be valueless.
When even the environmentalists get hungry, they will designate a
piece of land for farming. It may or may not be a good piece of land.
But it will be designated. And then the farmer of the future can make
food grow and be proclaimed king. The owner of the farm will only
have to pay, pay, pay.

This is his first political race

I hope that my neighbors and
friends will take the time to meet
Wes Cooley. I think they’ll see
that he is the kind of candidate we
should support.
