"Wait" signals at crosswalk

are for the pedestrian's pro
tection, Police Chief Charles
P. Champlin reminded resi
dents this week.
There has been an increas
ing number of pedestrians
violating this signal in recent
months, the chief said. He
added that he believed such
pedestrian the best possible
protection in crossing the
street.
The maximum time that a
pedestrian would have to wait
to cross a downtown street is
52 seconds, Champlin said,
with the average for all the
streets between 40 and 45 sec
onds. The police department anti
cipates the possibility of issu
ing warnings to violators, the
chief said, and added that if
the problem continues viola
tors will be cited.

Dr. Durno Reviews Some Bills
Regarding the Centennial
B EDWIN DURNO. M. D
8tl Senator, Jackson County
The third week of the Leg
islative Assembly is upon us,
and we are traveling along at
a speed that
has no prec
edent in re
cent sessions.
Now that the
problem o
who is Sec
retary of
State has
been resolv
ed, we are
Dr. Dnrno. M.D. "Ol api to
slow down our tempo, in the
opinion of veteran Legisla
tors. There have been some 300
bills placed in the hopper of
one House or the other and
committees have been active
ly working on measures as
signed to their attention.
Most of these bills deal
with the expenses of state.
First, an appropriation of IV
million dollars for the ex
penses of this session. With
speed and teamwork we hope
to save the taxpayer several
hundred thousand dollars
over the cost of recent ses
sions. Baquesls for Money
The next batch of bills are
those which deal with the re
quests for money of the var
ious departments which go to
make up the administration
of state affairs. These are the
so-called General Appropria
tion bills. During the late
summer and fall these esti
mates were first given to .the
department of finance and
administration, which in turn,
transmitted the totaled over
all needs to the governor.
After being reviewed by Gov
ernor Holmes, he then in
turn, delivers his message and
the budget to the legislature.
This represents, what in his
opinion should be the cost of
running the affairs of state
: for the biennium 1959-1961.
The next two years should
cost the taxpayers of the state
one billion dollars, 300 mil
lion of it to be derived from
the general fund.
The various department re
quests are then referred to
the Ways and Means commit
tee, the only joint committee
of the Legislature, comprised
of both senators and repre
sentatives. The senate portion
is composed of Senators Cor
bett (D), Cook (D) and Jean
Lewis (D) all of Multnomah,
Thiel (D) of Clatsop, Key (D)
of Umatilla, Ziegler (R) Ben
ton, and Durno (R) of Jack
son county. I can assure the
voters of Jackson county that
this is a dedicated committee,
hard working, and at all
times placing the business of
Government above party pol
itics. I hold the highest re
gard for every senator on
this committee. We are econ
omy minded, and we are, re
gardless of political affili
ation, bent on keeping the
cost of Government at a mini
mum compatible with exist
ing services. The mandate of
the people has not been for
gotten. Series of Meetings
The Ways and Means com
mittee has practically all the
requests for money before us,
and in a series of hearings
conducted from 8 a.m. until
sometimes 11 p.m. at night
we are going over the recom
mended budget with a fine
tooth comb.
Today Monday, Jan. 26, we
are going into a full commit
tee hearing on the request
for money by the Centennial
Exposition. Whether we like
it or not we are in the busi
ness of putting on a Centen
nial that will be a credit to
our state, and I hope will at
tract many more industries,
which in turn will provide
outlets for our labor force.
The entire Commission, of
which Mayor John Snider of
Medford is a member, has ap
peared before us on three
occasions. Their plans when
carried to maturity will pro
vide an Exposition and Trade
Fair, expeeded only by the
Chicago, New York and San
Francisco Fairs of bygone
years. And best of all, some,
if not all of the money will
be returned to the coffers of
the state treasury, through
revenues received.
Interest in Area
One item in the budget
that will interest the people
of southern Oregon is an ap
propriation from the Fine
Arts section for $12,000 to
bring back to the Shakespear
ean Festival this Centennial
year, many of the former act
ors and actresses who thrilled
Shakespearean crowds with
their performances in t h e
early days of the Festival.
Another recognition for Ash
land,' and richly deserved.
Another passing item of in
terest is that the grounds of
the Exposition and the perm
anent improvements, along
with the buildings, are the
property of a non-profit cor
poration, the Pacific Interna
tional Livestock company. In
event of dissolution, all of
the assets will go into our
system of higher education.
Also, the Forest Products
association is constructing a
$250,000 permanent structure
on the grounds, which will be
the future State home of the
4-H Clubs of Oregon.
Importance of Project
From all that I have writ
ten, you can see the tremen
dous importance of this pro
ject to the whole state. I urge
you one and all to support
our Centennial in every way
that you can.
I could go on talking about
interesting details of the Cen
tennial indefinitely, but I be
lieve I have told you enough
to make one and all be a part
of it.
Some other time I will try
and give you more sidelights
on the Legislative scene, and
more on the budget, taxes,
education roadside advertis
ing, Unemployment Insur
ance, and other measures that
effect the taxpayer.
Some of my friends sent
me a big stamp with "V D"
across the top, and "vetoed
by Durno" on the bottom. All
in bright red ink. To my un
known friends I say thanks.
I hope I may be able to use
it wisely.
A Senator sitting next to
me had a father who was born
in 1829. Makes me feel young,
even when I come home
weary.
