Mrs. Nye (Continued from page 1) have consistently avoided short-sighted expediencey in favor of long-range benefits in seeking solutions to the state s problems. I believe that property tax relief is one of our most criti cal and urgent needs. In the 1959 legislative session, I worked for an increase in state funds allocated to the support of education in order to provide some relief to prop erty taxpayers who now carry a disproportionate share of this burden. I expect to con tinue my efforts in this direc tion, i Among Highest Oregon's income tax rates are among the highest in the nation with the heaviest load falling upon the middle in come group. I believe that equity demands that we broaden the base of our tax program and I had hoped to vote for such a proposal in the last session. However, the bill which was offered did not accomplish this, nor was it intended to provide any funds for property tax relief through additional school sup port. Hence I voted against it. Had this bill gone into ef fect, which a referendum pe tition fortunately prevented, it would have extracted an estimated additional and un necessary 20 to 30 million dollars, most of it from the pockets of the same middle income taxpayers. I am con fident that if government ex penditures are limited to our needs, taxes can be held down. We In Jackson county must remember that we are widely separated from the metropoli tan areas of the Willamette valley and the seat of govern ment. Our problems are in some respects unique and they can easily be ignored un less our representatives are constantly alert. Provides Opoprtunity Southern' Oregon college provides the only opportunity for college training for many of the young people of this area. It is growing rapidly and adequate state funds to expand its facilities are of great importance to us. Because our economy is based on lumber, agriculture and tourist attractions we are particularly vulnerable when s h o r t-sighted policies are adopted by the legislature. We must guard against dis sipation of our O and C funds and must work for a fair share of state revenues for highway purposes. I am keen ly aware that the public in terest suffers when policies governing labor-management relations jeopardize the rights of either workers or em ployers. Jackson county has many advantages which we who live here enjoy. It also has its share of problems and I in tend to devote my efforts to protecting and promoting the welfare of the people of this area in the next legislative session. Mrs. Evelyn Nye Candidate for State Representative Growth Chemical Found Invading Animal World London -(Science Service)- The plant growth regulators have invaded the animal world and the animals liter ally are having fits, three French researchers report here. A small amount of one par ticularly . active chemical dropped into a fish bowl causes goldfish to have con vulsions and also brightens up their color. The myna fish, a European relative of the goldfish, behaves in the same manner. In the Siamese fighting fish, ordinarily a peaceable crea ture until another male of the same species appears, the chemical can work the male into a pugnacious lather even when there is nothing around to fight. Just as if the enemy were really there, the fish puffs up its fins and brightens by expanding the color cells in Its skin. The same chemical makes rabbits more susceptible to convulsive drugs. The researchers, Dr. J. Thuillier of Saint Anne Hos pital, Paris, and Drs. P. Rumpf and Germaine Thuillier of He- search and Study Center of Applied Organic Chemistry, state in the British Journal Nature (Oct. 8) that the action of the growth regulator chemicals- is to stimulate the cen tral nervous system, probably in the region of the hypo thalamus. . The particular substance used in their tests, an ester of para-chlorophenoxyacetic acid does stimulate the hypothal amic area. But just how it stimulates is still a mystery. It may be that the chemical triggers the release of adren alin or other body hormones that, in turn, stimulate the central nervous system. Gregory (Continued from page 1) take action. You, the voter, should require each candidate to take a definite stand on the issues and not allow them to escape with such nice sound ing but meaningless generali ties. If elected, I would ask the legislature to consider the adoption of the following pro gram: 1. Real property tax relief. (a) Exemption or deferment of tax for home owners over 65 with limited income, (b) Tax only the equity of the home owner, not his obliga tion, (c) Tax the intangibles such as bonds, stocks, mort gages and contracts, (d) Tax on luxury items. 2. Abolish the present sys term of inventory tax on busi nesses. Protect Program 3. Protect the present Work man's Compensation program from encroachment by private insurance companies. 4, Adopt scholarship pro gram for higher, education, not gifts but long-term bonds and job opportunities for our needy but able students. a. Protect our deer and elk herds by prohibiting our pres ent doe season. 6. Demand a state program for medical assistance to our older citizens. 7. Promote our natural re sources and labor supply to encourage year around indus try. 3. Compel arbitration in la bor disputes after a reason able time to end costly strikes. 9. Strict laws to prevent employment discrimination of our older or physically handi capped workers. 10. State participation in work projects for able-bodied persons on welfare. 11. Support reorganization of state government for great er economy and service to the people. Taxes on Wealth It is my opinion that taxes should be on wealth and not on one's obligations. Because of its great inequity, the real property tax has become the most regressive tax in exist ence. Such a tax has more in fluence in discouraging the purchase of homes than the high interest rate. This un fair tax is the reason for the defeat of school budgets and not because we do not want our children educated. The Republican candidates would oppose a change of this tax burden since they know that the Income tax would be the replacement for the real property tax. They oppose the income tax because it is based on one's ability to pay. They also oppose Federal aid to education because they want the entire burden of school support to be carried by the small home owner and farmer through the real prop erty tax. Why should a home owner with a $10,000 house subject to an $8,000 mortgage pay a tax on the entire value of the home when a person with $100,000 in stocks and bonds pay no property tax? Passes Problem Congress in the defeat of the Forand bill (which would have provided medical bene fits through social security) has passed the problem of medical aid for our older cit izens to the states who must establish a program in order to qualify for Federal aid. No person should go without medical aid because of lack of funds. It is now the duty of the government to adopt a work able solution since the med ical profession and private insurance companies have not been able to solve this problem. All I ask of the voters Is to study carefully the program of each of the candidates since some of us will not have the large financial back i n g necessary to support many TV appearances to car- n i sisar- 1 (Maw .., i LtstVjM ,. - .

AS' 4 Committee Suggestions Help Sought To Solve One of 'Dilemmas' of Law Officers (Continued from page 1) The committee will also ask that the legislature help to solve "one of the most dif ficult dilemmas" faced by law enforcement officers This re lates to the subject of porno graphic and obscene litera ture Francis said many stat utes relating to this subject have been thrown out of the courts as being "unconstitu tional." , : ' The committee has prepar ed a statute that Francis thinks will meet the require ments of the Supreme Court. Under this statute, he said, a person who is caught giving "harmful" materials to a mi nor can be charged with con tributing to the delinquency of that minor. Because "wire-tapping" is now prohibited, Francis said, the committee will urge that law enforcement officers be authorized to use "listening devices" in connection with the "narcotics traffic." Other Recommendations Other recommendations of the committee, according to Francis, are: " -Psychiatric examinations Over-the-Counter Western Stocks The following bid and ash ed quotations, from the Na tional Association of Securi ties Dealers, Inc., do not rep resent actual transactions.

This would make the lower courts conform to cir cuit court. Statutes Be Consolidated -The statutes on thefts be consolidated into one statute to simplify the matter of de tection and proof. -The "escape" statutes also be consolidated. -The legislature appoint a committee to engage In a 5 to 10 year study of both the substance of criminal law and the "causal" aspect of crime. Francis said he is "trou bled" by the inadequate rec ognition given by the public to the important functions be ing performed by persons in the field of law enforcement. Spend on Defense He said the country is will ing to spend "fortunes" on national defense, but does not respond as well to the needs of local law enforcement.

Francis also stressed the need for eventually establish ing a "police academy" in Oregon, a graduate of which would be recognized through out the country. He said he introduced to the legislature bill calling for an interim study of this proposal, but It failed. He said another at tempt should be made to get such a study. The need for a police acad emy, he said, is evidenced by the "intense desire" among police officers to be better trained.
