Harvest To Use More Local Labor Salem -(UPm ,A 'survey by the Oregon Employment De partment indicates that Ore gon potatoes will be harvest ed more and more in yeari to come by local rather than migrant labor and by mecha nized equipment. The survey, depicting the late potato harvest picture through 1963, was conducted by the department's division of research and statistics. Areas covered include East Central and Central Oregon and the Klamath Basin. In Central Oregon potato production in hundredweight in 1960 increased by 12,000 over 1959 making the 1960 total 1,412,000. At the. same time the total work force was increased by 100 persons. Production Up In East Central Oregon the survey showed that' produc tion went from 595,000 hun dredweight in 1959 to 1,500, 000 in 1960 with the work force decreasing from 1,150 to 860 because of more mechanization. In the Klamath Basin pro duction of machine-harvested potatoes dropped from 1, 960,000 hundredweight in 1959 to 1,606,265 in 1960 and total workers from 1,000 to 588. About -90- per cent of the basin crop is now har vested by machine, the de partment said The department said mi grant workers in potato har vests will continue to de crease because machine har vesting is more attractive-to local workers.

How ever, Newbry . jaid, among thoaa who supported his ap pointment were an automo bile dealer, attorney, insur ance salesman and farmer. He declared as one of his chief aims "at least maintain ing the statu quo for Jackson county property tax payers." ' Both Newbry and Dellen back expressed dissatisfac tion with the property tax as the main method of financing Oregon's schools. Expresses Hop Newbry said he hoped the legislature will "try to devise some other means of taxation for schools." Dellenback advised that lawmakers should go back to the basic constitutional quirement that the state cept th(p responsibility Mr education, and that counties should not be battling with each other over such respon sibilities. While Duncan has shown an at least open-minded attitude toward sharing Jackson coun ty's O and C funds in an equa lization program for school fi nancing in the state, the two Republican legislators have expressed determination. Dellenback said, "to protect these funds so we do not have to pay an increased property tax in Jackson county." Duncan stated that the O and C funds are a "very small part of the over-all problpm of schools." He added that he will support an increased state basic school support fund "provided the problems of a distribution formula can b worked out.

Mm Mm Water Resources Board Agrees on Round Buffe Dam Astoria -(DPI)- The Oregon Water Resources Board Wed nesday night agreed to order the Oregon Hydroelectric Commission to grant a license to Portland General Electric Co., to build Round Butte Dam on the Deschutes river. The board's motion was unanimous. Board Secretary Don Lane said the license will be con ditional on flow restrictions in the interest of fish life and the company's commitment to replace Cove Palisades State Park which will be inundated. FPC Grants License The license was ordered after the board found through investigation that "there was nothing to be gained" by re opening hearings as request ed by the Citizens Conserva tion Committee. The Federal Power Com mission also has granted a, license for the $73 million project. The earth fill dam, to be 440 feet high, will be located eight miles northeast of Mad ras. The reservoir will extend about eight miles up the Des chutes, Metolius and Crooked rivers. The dam will generate some 246,050 kilowatts of power. OFFICIAL DIES New York - WPII - Edward L. Mulvehill, 59, president of work for the best distribution possible." ; An experienced legislator, Duncan expressed opinions on almost any legislative prob lem which is expected to come before the house. He is concerned with getting appro priations to at least partially cover representatives' expens es as is Dellenback. He said he is also anxious to get the "tough nuts" out of the way early in the session, leaving the least important bills until last. Duncan hopes for more help from the legislative council, including the fiscal officer, so an expanded staff and pro gram will supply information enabling the legislators to cover more ground in the hec tic biennial session. The only purely local legis lation he will seek would per mit the city of Medford to loan water to the state game commission. Duncan said he is eager to eliminate the inventory tax in the personal, property tax procedure and to revise the timber tax to encourage sus tained yield programs. Fur ther improvements will be made in the income tax struc ture and "the whole deduc tion picture," if Duncan has his way. The southern Oregon Demo crat shows considerably more enthusiasm than do the two Republicans for Governor Mark Hatfield's proposed state government reorganiza tion. Duncan describes the of fice of governor as "peculiar ly impotent" and the reorga nization as "based on the hori zontal stratification" of state government. "Because the slate has grown from agrarian to quasi l n d u s t r i a 1," Duncan ex plained, "there is a need to modify the general structure to handle the increasingly complicated problems of government." Takes Swipa at Critics The house speaker took a swipe at critics of the plan who blame Hatfield for a grab for power," and assert ed that the governor acted on a recommendation of the leg islature and an interim com mittee, Duncan plans to send all re organization bills to a joint committee of the house and senate to get an over-all pic ture of the proposed legisla tion and to simplify commit tee activities. Dellenback, who appeared cautious in expressing opin ions this early in the session said he intends "to approve anything which will cut down on expense and make for ef- fiency." . " , Plan 'Sounds Good' While Hatfield's plan "in theory sounds good," Dellen back questioned whether the stale should change a system of boards and commissions which has brought some of the most able people of the state into the government." He also questioned the the ory of a strong government. Newbry expressed interest in the reorganization plan, but said that at the moment he has arrived at no conclu sion. The freshman senator said there was one problem. the state budget, "which I know is tremendously import ant to this area." Another area in which he said he had reached at least partial conclusion is the state industrial accident insurance program, in which he supports the so-called "three-way plan, which would make coverage by employers optional. Make Feelings Known All three legislators made known their feelings that big problems face the state's law makers this session. "None is bigger than the rest, because all are important to some," ac cording to Duncan. Over 1,500 bills were sub mitted to the 1959 legislature and that many probably will find their way again into this year's hopper. All will be con sidered by mostly over worked, under-paid representatives. There Is some consolation they ran take from the wide spread opinion that . such a system has still produced some of the best possible leg islators, and a progressive the American Re Insurance stale government recognized Co., died Wednesday. las such throughout the nation BERNARD P.
