Capitol Memo
Teen-Agers Warned
To Take Interest in
State Legislature
I V i 'Mi
Doueliu Grlpp
Salem IUPII Teen-agers,
wake up! You're being legis
lated! Unless it's a project In a
classroom, or
your parents
are in politics,
you-the aver
age teen-ager-
a p p a r e ntly
don t give
hang about
what goes on
at the slate
legislature.
, This is a
mistake.
It is really a mistake this
year, because the 1D61 session
has an unusually high number
of bills affecting your age
group.
Only a handful of teen
agers have testified before le
gislative committees. If the
claim is valid that you are
more grown up these days,
then you should be more
grown up and responsive to
activities of the legislature.
The argument can be made
that most committee hearings
arc held during weekdays,
and teen-agers arc in school.
But it is doubtful if any school
would refuse to excuse a stud
ent for something as import
ant as legitimate testimony on
a bill.
' .The value of a fccrwiK"r's
testimony? Committees arc
eager to hear all sides to an
Issue, including yours. That
is the purpose of a hearing,
and nil who appear ran speak.
A refreshing aspect of testi
mony from young people Is
its candor and honesty.
Here is a partial rundown
on bills now In the mill in
Salem.
They would: '
Allow 18-year-olds to
vote.
Raise the age requirement
for a driver's license from 16
to- 18. A modified version
would permit Issuance of a li
cense at IP. only if the appli
cant passed an approved driv
er training course.
Forbid youngsters in their
early teen from getting a
hunting license, unless cer
tain conditions were met.
Allow youngsters to buy
cigarettes with a note from
thoir parents. This is primar
ily designed to allow Inmates
at the boys' and girls' state
training schools to smoke, but
would apply to all , Oregon
youngsters unless amended.
Set up a system of state
summer camps for boys, al
lowing them to work in woods;
not a correctional program,
but educational.
Allow those under 16 to
work beyond 6 p. m. Part
time grocery boys and others
would be affected.
The legislature has already
killed a bill that would have
required cars to be no lower
than the wheel rims. This
would have affected a num
ber of hotrods.
This is not to say whether
it was good or bad, but It
could have passed. Apparent
ly the average leon-a"cr was
asleep or lazy. He didn't testify.
Denial Profession

say is designed to curb ad
vertising by dentists won ap
proval of the Senate Wednes
day, 24-6. SB351, requested
by the Oregon Slate Denial
Association, went to the
House.
News and advertising media
are strongly opposed.' Sen.
Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Port-Iand)
said the bill would give
the dental profession the nec
essary power to police itself.
Mahoney said It takes
"courage to vote for this bill

torial writers unhappy."
Those voting against it were
Sens. Cook, Alice Corbctt,
Grenfell, Hare, Sweetland
and Zlegler.
