-Salem-IUPB-During the first
three and a half months of
the 1B81 legislative session
termed It "devise and dis
' sent" for it seemed that one
chamber would devise and tne
other would dissent on a ma
jority of the key issues.
In the six regular sessions
and one special session with
which I have been closely as
sociated, never has there been
quite the thorough exercise of
"check and balance" by the
Senate over the House and
vice versa.
-This was not a result of the
executive branch being in tne
hands of one party and the
legislative in the hands of the
other party but rather a result
of the struggle for power ana
domination within the Demo
cratic leadership.
Would the Senate win out
with the top spot occupied
by a presiding officer placed
in that position by a minority
of Democrats and the Repub
licans, or would the House
achieve success with Its domi
nation by the liberal element?
Answer Bald Clear
With' adjournment the
answer became clear.
The two chambers canceled
each other out with their
jockeying and a gratifying
percentage of the administra
tion's basic message and
budgetary legislation was
adopted. The budget which
was presented on Dec. 1, I960
mounted to $358,829,605 and
the approved budget May 11,
1981 was $365,619,319. To be
lure there were some addi
tions here, deletions there, but
the fact is the budget was in
creased less than- three - per
cent from the administrative
recommendation in total.
In 1959 the legislative
change in the executive budg
et recommendation was .62
per cent.
.. Reorganization suffered
tragic late.
You will- recall the 1959
legislature directed the gov
ernor to present an over-all
plan. Although not required
or even suggested, your gov
ernor appointed a bipartisan
15-member advisory commit
tee headed by a former op
ponent and the campaign
chairman of a former oppo
nent. Except for the incum
bent speaker of the House of
Representatives, every single
person asked to serve on that
committee 'accepted the - as
signment. The reorganization
plan went to the legislative
member on Dec. IS, 1960.

branch .manager of the First

th meeting of the Southern
Oregon Conservation and Tree
Farm association here Friday
night. ;
Looking on the gloomy side,
Moor noted a big national
drop 'in new housing starts
from 1959 to 1960, 1,279.000
In 1980 compared to 1.600,000
in 1959. He also noted the
high price on logs, mounting
operation costs, higher requir
ed federal insurance, taxes,
sliding demand and less gen
eral building.
Th unemployed In Jackson
county a of March 9, 1961,
totaled 17,000, Moore noted, .
Psychological Recession
Th 1958 recession was a
psychological one, Moore com
mented. Unemployment then
was 1 per cent lower than
now. Bank debits are the to

cause vocal minorities com
bined to retain the status quo.
A warning of this possibility
was contained in my message
to the legislature on Jan. 9
"Should you choose to do
nothing, then the buck-passing
which now characterizes some
administrative pro c e d u r e s
must rest at your door.
But responsive government
In Oregon will not be achieved
If we do not here adopt the
lines of executive authority
and . responsibility President
Kennedy and James M. Lan
dis are seeking at the federal
level.
It is easy to be critical of
the legislature. But we get far
better than we pay for. Some
of these individuals put in
fantastic hours at great sac
rifice. Public Nofj Informed
But it is my observation
that thanks to modern com
munlcaitons, Oregonlans are
far better Informed about Al
giers. Havana, and, of course,
Washington, D.C.. tnan tney
are about the Oregon Legisla
ture. This should make all
citizens, and especially the
communications media, pon
der.: The dribble of mail on
important issues indicates
either Indifference or ignor
ance.. I cannot concur that it
indicates satisfaction and con
fidence. '
I cannot believe the people
of Oregon yet realize that the
1961 legislature took virtual
ly no constructive action on
imperative matters like traf-
flce safety, Individual tax re
form to remove inequities il
lustrated In my recommenda
tions for two sessions, im
provements In workmen's
compensation, coord 1 n a t e d
promotion of Oregon through
department of commerce,
and other government Im
provement steps.
When and if the people
study the record of the 1961
legislature they may well
wonder how so many experi
enced legislators could take
so much time to do so little. -

explained. At the end of Feb
ruary, 1981, debits showed a
3 per cent decline.
On the brighter side, the
bank manager noted a strong
gain In service industries such
as those related to electronics,
In southern Oregon retail
sales. i :
"These are quite good gen
erally compared to the previ
ous year," he said. However,
retail stores, must shave their
margins, have high operating
costs and are carrying more
accounts receivable, he added.
Faced With Sam Problam
Banks are faoed with the
same rising costs and operat
ing problems faced by other
industries, the bank manager
noted.
Late last year th Federal
Reserve allowed banks to
count the currency In their
vaults as part of their reserves
which made it easier for the
banks to borrow to cover their
reserves, Moore explained.
Now, irom a tight money
situation the trend has revers
ed so that particularly life In
surance companies have a sur
plus of mortgage money to
loan.
Qtner Indications of an
economy upswing are popu
lation growth, Mew water and
electric utilities hookup, a lot
of new business coming Into
the area, increased Industrial
output, and new building such
as motels.
Although building permits

WILLAMETTE
Chicago Film Censorship
Right Upheld
A Chicago ordinance re
quires that before any movie
be exhibited to the public, a
permit must be obtained from
the city. In order to obtain
the permit, the Chicago po
lice commissioner must be
given an opportunity to view
the movie; If the commission
er believes the movie to be
"immoral or obscene," it is
his duty, to deny the permit.
The Times Film. Corp. applied
to the commissioner for a per
mit to show the film "Don
Juan," but refused to submit
the film for examination,
hence the permit was denied
Action was brought In federal
court to compel issuance of
the permit.
THE COURT HELD: The
U. S. Supreme Court, by a
5-4 vote, held that it was con
stitutional to require all film
exhibitors to submit all films
to the city for censorship. The
four dissenters felt that this
was an unconstitutional de
nial of freedom of speech and
press. If movie censorship is
valid, argued the dissent, then
what Is to prevent govern
ment from censoring' news
papers, books and magazines?
However, the court did not
determine whether "D o n
Juan" could be denied a per
mit after it had been exam
ined by the city. The cbmmls-
lsioner, after viewing the mo
vie, cannot d eny a permit
merely because he doesn't like
It. If a permit is denied on
the ground that the movie is
"obscene," for example, the
film corporation can appeal to

he noted. An Increasing num
ber of warehouses are being

out.
"we're not In a boom, but
experiencing a g o o d steady
growth," he said.
Newcomers to Area
"Newcomers In the area ap
pear to be good, substantial
people with money behind
them. This Is reflected In their
bank deposits," Moore said
He noted a $4 million gain in
loans in all banks in Jackson
county for March, compared
to tne same month In a pre
vious year. A loan decline has
occurred during the same pe
riod, he said
He warned lumbermen not
to expect a big drop in Inter
est rates due to excessive re
serves. He said this is his per
sonal opinion
Moore predicted that the lo
cal business upsweep would
continue beyond the full when

The present political admin
istration seems to have a fixed
policy of spending. However,
much will depend on the In

will pump more money into

boost the national economy,
he predicted.

Former Local Man
Says Shepard Wild
Behind Car Wheel
Dallas, Tex. A former
Medford newsman and high
school graduate has described
the United States' first man
in space, Astronaut Alan
Shepard, as an extrovert who
drove a car almost as fast as
a Redstone rocket.
Arthur Schoeni, a Dallas
public relations man with the
Chance Vought corporation,
recalled meeting the 37-year-
old Navy commander several
times within the past 10 years.
He was just another guy
named Shepard at that time,"
Schoeni noted.
Schoeni was graduated from
Medford High school, : and
later taught Journalism .there.
In- addition he worked at
both the Medford Mail Trib
une and the -Medford News.
His aunt, Lucy Lyman, 92, is
now residing at 423 King St.,
Medford. '
Tests Gears
Shepard tested aircraft ar
resting gears as a Navy test
pilot at the Dallas Naval Air
station in 1957. He had previ
ously been attached to the
Naval Air Test center at Pa
tuxent River, Md. In Dallas,
he met Schoeni whose offices
at the Cance Vought corpora
tion were adjacent to those of
the Naval air station.
Schoeni originally met
Shepard in 1953 in Washing
ton, D.C., where he was edit
ing a monthly magazine,
Naval Aviation News, and
Shepard was a pilot at near
by Patuxent River, Md.
The publicity man recalls
that the test pilot was a close
friend of the feature editor
and used to "drop into the
office a lot." Shepard was
known as a "pretty impetu
ous" man behind The wheel
of auto and frequently "ter
rorized" his passengers, ac
cording to Schoeni.
When Shepard moved ' to
Dallas to make flight tests on
the F8U-1 Crusader, he and
Schoeni renewed their ac
quaintance. Schoeni took pic
tures of the pilot as he made
some 30 landings to check out
the landing arrester system,

went on to say that the as-

Two hundred pounds of
stone ground flour from Put

were turned Into loaves of
bread and presented to mem
bers of the Oregon legislature
recently in the name of the
Medford Chamber of Com
merce. The flour was donated by
Putman brothers of Eagle
Point. Fluhrer's bakery turn
ed the flour into approximate
ly 100 loaves and it was sent
to Rep. John Dellenbeck for
distribution.
Several letters have already
been received from the law
makers thanking the chamber
and expressing their enjoy

was 'a small folder titled
