Cook served as chairman of
various committees including
revenue and taxation, judi­
ciary, natural resources, local
government and military af­
fairs. He began his legislative
career as a member of the tax­
ation committee and of the elec­
tions committee, where he led
an effort to adopt reforms to
Oregon's election laws.
Cook says he supports more
funding and local. control fox
schools and better funding for
colleges and universities. He
says that many students "can­
not attend because of high tui­
tion."
Cook says he supports
Oregon's Constitutional guar­
antee of the right to bear arms;
supports regulation of conceal­
ed weapons and believes that
felons convicted of crimes
against persons and property
should not be permitted to
carry weapons.
Cook opposes a general in­
come tax.
He supports reforms of the
election laws to eliminate the
"current practice of buying
political office." He says he also
supports Oregonians' right to
use the Initative and Referen­
dum. He opposes Measure 24
as "it would weaken that
r ig h t," and opposes any
changes in those rights except
that he disapproves of paid
petition circulators.

vironment."

and interests. My many years
as a member of the Legislature

make it possible for me to
understand those interests and
needs. With term limits now in
place, my experience will be of
particular value in providing
experienced representation."
Cook, and his wife Beryl, a
nurse practitioner, have five
grown children and ' seven
grandchildren. Thd’’ Cooks
reside east of the Troutdale ci­
ty limits, in a portion of the
district that was his former
senate district.

National Grange Week will
be observed from April 21-27 in
Lexington, lone, Boardman
and Spray.
"Since colonial times, Ameri­
cans have considered theirs an
agricultural nation," said a
grange spokesperson. "The
first census in 1790 showed 90
percent of the population living
in rural areas. At the time of the
Civil War, this had dropped to
80 percent. Today, the farmer
is still an important factor in our
economy even though the
number of farms has dropped
considerably."
"O liv e r Hudson Kelley
(1826-1913) is credited with
establishing the Grange," the
spokesperson
continued.
"Even though he had no prac­
tical experience in farming, he
shared the belief of others that
agriculture was a noble career
and that without the farmers,
America's economy and moral
fiber would collapse.
"In the 1850s, Kelley organiz­
ed the Benton County Agricul­
tural Society to share informa­
tion about practices and farm­
ing implements. The official
organization meeting was held
December 4, 1867. Since that
time, the Grange has flourish­
ed, becoming one of the largest
organizations in the world."
The spokesperson also said
the purpose of the grange is to
improve the life of rural
Americans by helping to secure
such things as research to im­
prove farming, rural electricity,
rural mail delivery, direct elec­
tion of senators, the initiative
petition process, and the Sher­
man Anti-Trust Act. Today,
members still emphasize the
importance of being knowl­
edgeable about legislation,
agricultural practices and topics
that affect the community.
Anyone who is interested is
invited to join the organization.
