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.

legislators' Interview
Dissatisfaction Expressed With
Method of School Financing
(Continued From Pag 1)
The new senator, a tall,
slow-spoken pear grower, said
"it is natural" for some people
to aftume that he would rep-
reent the orchafflists, be
cause he is ona of them. 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. And I will

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
