IVt-Qz. By EVELYN NYE State Representative From Jackson County Each week it becomes more difficult to find even the short time which I devote to this column. The tempo is increas- :t$'S lng, as is to be expected, and if we are real ly to wind up the session in time the Dem ocrats have specified, we will either be working eve nings, Satur days and Sun days,- or we'll leave a lot of bills in committees. Of course, we are all anxious to get through in the shortest time possible, and I'm sure every legislator will cooperate to the utmost to bring about a speedy adjournment. Tonight the big hearing room will be packed with peo ple urging passage of House Bill 514, increasing basic school support. I wonder if anyone opposing it will show up? Every legislator has been deluged with mail on this bill, and I, for one, have been at a loss as to how to answer. Of course, the education committee can send it out of committee with a "do pass" recommendation, and there is no doubt but what we will, but it will have to go to ways and means committee because of the appropriation of $20, 400,000 which it carries. And there, of course, is the rub, because at that point we run into politics. Urge Greater Support Many of the people who are urging' greater state support for schools would gladly vote a sales tax if given an oppor- unity, but the sales tax is controversial matter in both parties. Some others are say ing, "Please vote for more school aid" in one paragraph, and "We can't stand any tax increases" in the next one. A net receipts, or universal in come tax, as suggested by Gov ernor Hatfield, would be a step in the direction of broad ening the tax base and in creasing revenue, but it is doubtful if a tax program with Governor Hatfield's name on it will be passed by a Democrat-controlled legislature. Senate President Walter Pearson is now again propos ing a sales tax to be voted by the people in 1960, the pro ceeds to finance- a new formu la for state aid to education. This is the second time Pear son has come out with this suggestion, although in be tween times he changed his mind and stated categorically "no new taxes." Since both Speaker of t h e House Robert Duncan and House Taxation Committee Chairman Clarence Barton op pose the sales tax, it seems unlikely that it will go far in this session. Representative Fred Meek, Republican, Port land, attempted to introduce a sales tax measure but was prevented by the rules com mittee. Answer Letters In answering some of the many letters I've received on House Bill 514 I've asked the writers to let the legislature know what increase in taxes, or what new taxes they would be willing to approve in the interest of more state support for education. This may be what Mail Tribune Managing Editor Eric Allen is referring to in his editorial "Who's To Pay," in the March 20 issue. By way of clarification let me point out that it was ex-Governor Holmes, speaking to the OEA in convention, who casti gated them for urging certain tax measures on the legisla ture in order to finance salary increases and other increased school costs. He felt that was an improp er area of activity for them, and frankly said so. For a leg islator to inquire from his con stituents as to their opinion regarding tax increases seems to me to be a perfectly legiti mate and democratic proced ure. Maybe I am trying on a shoe which doesn't fit, but it occurred to me that my let ters on this subject might have caused the editorial comment. And along this same vein, I feel, as do many other legis lators on both sides of the political fence, that Cecil Pos ey, the executive secretary for OEA, has seriously diminshed its already waning influence on the legislators by his dive into bitter partisan politics at . the OEA convention in Appling Discusses Good Government At Kiwanis Club Principles of the dignity and sovereignty of the indi vidual, of free enterprise, of equal responsibility of man agement and . labor and of helping other people to help themselves were supported by Howell Appling Jr., Oregon secretary of state, yesterday in a talk to Medford Kiwan ians at Rogue Valley Coun try club. Addressing the weekly noon luncheon of the Kiwanis club, Appling spoke on "Politics is Your Business." The secretary of state de clared that government is no more than a reflection of its people and can be what people make it. He maintain ed that it is the fault of the governed if government fails Asks Encouragement Appling asked encourage ment of all citizens to put their energies in a positive way to improve government and to get people who are competent and the best quali fied into office. He said that government in Oregon has been "remarkably clean" and "our problem is one of com petence." .The secretary of state pro posed a campaign for better salaries for legislators as a means of weeding out incom petence. Appling deplored the apathy and indifference in "our gov ernment of popular choice' the tendency to consider poli ticians with disrepute and the loss of esteem, the abuse and ingratitude which makes hard the inducement of able serv ants. The public servant serves ns iust about right and better than we deserve, Appling de clared. "It is time for us to recent and change our ways, he charged. He termed p.oli- tics the noblest career a man can choose. "It is not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to the man in the arena who strives valiantly," the secretary said. Appling spoke of his respect now for people, of whom he has been critical, because of his reali zation that they have been trying to do something for better government. The secretary of state re ported that he does not be lieve in deficit spending or in confiscatory taxes. Part of the Kiwanis pro gram yesterday consisted of stereophonic presentation of excerpts from Handel's "Mes siah." The Rev. John Rey nolds arranged the musical portion of the program. The music was from Swem's Gift shop and equipment from Verl G. Walker radio with Ellis Feinstein, chief engineer at radio station KMED, as technician. Portland. He certinly isn't do ing the cause of education any good when he becomes so blindly partisan that he over looks the fact that the Holmes budget submitted to this leg islature the first week of the; session, made no provision for increased aid to education, nor; has any Democrat leader come forward, so far, with a tax plan to support the measure, with the exception of Walter Pearson, whose plan would take effect in 1961. First Hearing On Thursday, March 26, at 8 a.m. the local government committee will have its first hearing on the long-awaited legislation to implement the county home rule amendment. We committee members feel that the legislation is basic ally good but probably needs some amending before it will be in final shape for passage. It is our hope that those at tending the hearing, many of whom have given this matter long study, will have sugges tions which can be incorpor ated and that we can very" soon send the measure to the floor of the House. Also on Wednesday the ju diciary committee will hold a hearing on the State Power commission bill. This is simi lar to the measure which fail ed to get on the ballot last fall for lack of signatures on the initiative petition. It would put all authority for power development in the state into the hands of three men who would make up the State Power commisison. At a special meeting of the House Education committee Friday afternoon, House Bill 544 which authorized admis sion of students in private and parochiaL schools to driver training programs in public schools, was tabled. Because of limited time and the tre mendous volume of correspon dence on this bill, I did not attempt to answer the letters, feeling sure that it would be disposed of rather soon and that I could notify those who were so concerned about it through this column. Another bill to do away with all driver training classes is ready for introduction, but the rulei committee, which controls in troduction of all bills after the 25th day of the session has not approved this one.
