TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Sunday, January IB, 1955
(Seamy, Smith Defend CDnoDce
Far (DomniiniDDtAee CDnaicinniainislliiDps
Salem (U.R) Most of the leg
islators were home Saturday for
a week end in which to wind up
their personal affairs before set
tling down to the long struggle
to attend to the affairs of state
But a hard coTe of ways and
means subcommitteemen in both
houses remained here to tackle
'problems in which already have
been laid in their laps.
Speaker of the House Edward
A. Geary remained over the
week end and was busy in his
office Saturday assessing and
completing the work of organiza
tion. Senate President Elmo E.
Smith of John Day also remained
in the capitol, but Saturday he
was confined in his home with a
sudden and severe cold. He pre
sided at Friday's brief session,
then went home and went to bed.
Defend Choices
Both Smith and Geary gave
vigorous defense to their choice
of committee chairmen. Some
Democrats and some newspapers
had criticized them for appoint
ing only two Democrats as chair
men, both in the House. .
To charges that this looked
like a return to the spoils sys
tem. Smith said there was no
such thing as any thought of a
spoils system. He said: "It is
my responsibility as Senate pres
ident to put the best men in the
best places, and that I have done
to the best of my ability and
only after very careful and pro
longed study. There are no
sacred cows in the senate."
. Criticism there had been large
ly about removal of Sen. Robert
D. Holmes of Gearhart from the
chairmanship of the Senate Edu
cation Committee. Sen. Holmes
still is a member of that commit
tee, headed this session by Sen.
John C. F. Merrifield of Port
land. Appointed Henry Semon
Speaker Geary had named
Deotrats as chairmen of two com
mittees, Rep! Henry Semon of
Klamath Falls as chairman of
the powerful Ways and Means
Committee, and Robert J. Stew
ard of Keating as chairman of
the new livestock committee.
Geary said:
Oregon Dairymen
Oppose Controls
Bend (U.R) The Oregon
Dairymen's Association was on
record Saturday as opposed to a
new state milk price control
law.
By a margin of 19 to 15, the
association voted not to ask the
Legislature for a law to fix pro
ducer prices. Many of those
who previously had defended
the old state law lined up in
favor of a federal milk market
order. Proponents of a state law
indicated, however, such a meas
ure may be introduced in the
Legislature.
Dairymen also voted against
a proposal favoring increase of
the minimum butterfat content
of standard milk from 3.2 to 3.8
per cent.
The association elected Rich
ard Lyons of Junction City as
president; George Hostetler of
Redmond, first vice president,
and Ray Hobson, Klamath Falls,
second vice-president.
La Grande Woman
Likes Jury Duty
La Grande U.R) No one
can ever accuses Mrs. Charles
Montgomery of trying to duck
jury duty.
Sitting in on a trial here at
the Union County courthouse,
Mrs. Montgomery slipped and
broke her arm during- the
noon recess.
During the lunch hour, she
contacted a doctor, had the
arm set and placed in a cast,
and was back in the jury box
when court re-convened.
"I appointed two Democrats
as committee chairmen, not be
cause they were Democrats but
because of their abilities.
As to his appointment - of
Charles A. Tom of Rufus as chair
man of the education committee
he said "Tom definitely showed
his ability at the last session of
the Legislature and his interest
in education. He is a young man
whose mam political interest is
in the state of Oregon, and un
doubtedly will be returned in
following years. I don't think
anybody can criticize his ability,
The reference to Tom's "poli
tical interest" in the state of
Oregon was pointed. Tom suc
ceeds Rep. Maurine Neuberger
of Portland as chairman of the
education committee. She is
the wife of Richard L. Neuber
ger who was elevated from the
Oregon Senate to the U. S. Sen
ate on the Democratic ticket in
last November's general election.

ment contributions has been col
