Senator Newbry Reviews Work On Committees, Visits Areas
By L. W. NEWBRY
Stat Senator
The committee on ways and
means has been referred to
as the "most powerful" com
mittee in the legislature, the
"House of Lords" and as "Con.
troller of the Exchequer."
By what ever name, the fact
remains that this committee
is the budget committee of the
state of Oregon and without
its approval no state funds
can be expended. I feel ex
tremely fortunate to be a
member of this important of
all committees for many rea
sons. First of all, if any econo
mics are to be effected in gov
ernment, this is where they
must start. Secondly, member
ship on this committee pro
vides the most complete edu
cation and understanding of
state government of any single
committee or combinations of
committees. Membership on
this committee enables me to
forcefully represent the peo
ple of Jackson county in ev
ery segment of state government.
Xisit Advantages
I have listed some of the
advantages of being a mem
ber of the ways and means
committee, from a personal
point of view there are some
disadvantages. This commit
tee is a great consumer of
time.
It is estimated that each
member spends an average of
three hours per day through
out the entire session on this
one committee. The work of
this committee is divided up
among five subcommittees.
1 am a member of two of
these subcommittees, one stud
ying the budgets of slate in
stitutions, the other studying
the budgets of agencies deal
ing with public health, safety
and welfare. The other three
subcommittees arc general
government, natural resources
and education.
Visit Institutions
All the members of ways
and means are expected to
visit all of the state institu
lions in order to know first
hand the physical condition
institutions, the type i hospital and Eastern Oregon for brick masonry, television j
of th
of program carried on and the
level of service rendered. So
far I have visited the state
hospital, Fairview home, the
Oregon State Correctional In
stitution and the slate peni
tentiary. This week we are scheduled
ir take a trip to northeastern
Oregon to visit the Mid-Columbia
home, Eastern Oregon
college
The Correctional Institution
is a penal institution establish
ed for first offenders. The
program carried on there is
devoted entirely to rehabilita
tion. We have a school where
inmates can receive high
school diplomas and take
courses for credit in college.
We also have a trade school
repair, cooks and bakers, snoe
repair, small engine repair,
welding, carpentry and cab
inet making, meat cutting,
electrical wiring and repair,
barbering and auto painting.
In addition to these schools
the institution Is operating a
nursery greenhouse and a
grancry.
Are Better Equipped -
There is no question but
what inmates of the Correc
tional institution upon com
pletion of their sentences
cuts in the institutional budg
ets for the current biennium.
Many have been concerned
about the care and services
being given under this re
duced budget situation, par
ticularly at the stale hospital
should be better equipped to and Fairview home
become useful members of so- i I can assure you that these
ciety. 1 patients are being well cared
I would like to discuss in for and that the reduced ex
detail each of the institutions ! penditures are affecting only
but time and space will not new programs not yet put into
permit. There has been some .effect and more careful screen
concern regarding the recent ing of new patients.
Scholarships Are Available at U of 0

Capitol Memo
Dollar Value in
Security of Jobs
Urged for Study
By ZAN STARK
Salem - WTO - How much
it worth - in dollars - to have
job security? Sen. Anthony
Yturrl (H.-un-
tario) t o day
asked the
Ways and
Means Com
mittee to find
the answer.
"Studies indi
cate t h a t a
number of
e m p 1 o yecs
Urk
have left private employment
to accept civil service employ,
ment at no greater salary, but
for reason of the fringe bene
fits and security of employ
ment," Yturri said.
Yturrl assured, "I have no
objection to state employees
being adequately and fully
paid for services they render.
"However, at a period when
the state's fiscal position is
in serious condition, it is well
to analyze and evaluate all
aspects of the situation.'
The Ontario Republican
reasons that civil service em
ployees have what Is tanla
mount to tenure in many in
stances.
"In private Industry as
rule," Yturri continued, "the
individual lias no assurance
of continuing employment.
"On the other hand, civil
service employees so far as
the experience of this slate
indicates, have a far greater
assurance of continuity in
employment than do employ
ees in private industry."
Yturri submitted his re
quest for a special study to
Sen. Ward Cook (D-Porllnnd),
co-chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. He also
sent copies to Sens. Waller
Lelh (R-Salem), E. D. Potts
(D-G rants Pass) and D.inicl
Thiel (D-Asloria), who also
are on the committee.
"There has been a constant
demand by the parties affect
ed and their representatives
for an increase in the salaries
of slate employees, Yturri
said.
He said "the present argu
ment advanced is thai the
pay level of state employees
should be parallel with that
of comparable work in pri
vate industry.
Ylurri believes thai the j
value- of stable employment
should be added to the pay
check of stale employes
when comparing their salaries
with those in private business. ,
The Ontario senator also :
reminded that most civil serv
ice employees get annual slop
raises, even if no overall in
crease in the pay scale is ap
proved by the legislature.
It is not expected that Ytur-
rl's view will he a popular
one among state employees.
But there are indications thai
iruiny other legislators hold
the same view.
If the Ways and Means j
Committee, ads on Yturri's
request and places a dollar
amount on Job stability, the
Oregon State Employees As
sociation call be expected to
voice a roar of disapproval.
The OSEA, In addition to
seeking pay increases, is urg-1
ing off-street parking for cm-,
ployces in the Portland Office
Building and the facultv and !
students of Portland Stale I
College.
And the OSEA is trying to
incorporate the merit system
into the proposed new consti
tution. This is a statute, but
not a part of the present con
stitution.
IT'S YOUR LAW
Kr.wcl for law Af.itrj rV"i'M,-y flit
Editor's note: This column i
is ottered ai a public service !
by the Oregon State Bar end
is not intended as legal ad
vice. If you have a problem,
take all of the (acts to a
lawyor. A slight variation in
facts may completely alter a
case.
LEGAL TERMS
NECESSARY
Many persons feel that the
"whereases," "afore said s,"
and other legal verbiage is
used by the lawyer for the
purpose of confounding the
layman.
Nothing could be further
from the truth. In drafting
legal documents, the lawyer
attempt in Hrnf them in
such a way as to exclude all
ambiguities. As a coive-
which is UMiully expensive
for the client.
Another reason why law
yers use legal language is his
torical in nature. Certain
words have technical mean
ings which have been con.
slrucd by the courts, and the
lawyer knows that in using
them, he will achieve a r
suit that is certain. He might
well lie inviting litigation tor
the client if he advised new
language. As a consequence,
the lawyer, in the interest of
his client, naturally uses the
time-tested language.
SIGN TRADEPAC'f"
Moscow -iUI'Ii- The Soviet
Union mid Cuba have signed
a trade and credit protocol
tor 1 !);!, the official T.iss
ni-ws agency announced to
day.
quencc, it is the lawyer's
duty to his ciieiu iu attempt
to draft the instrument in
such a way that it can mean
only one thing.
Most any paragraph of non
legal languagr contains nu
merous ambiguities. When a
lawyer refers to the "deed
aforesaid," he Is attempting to
make it clear beyond question
that the deed he is referring
to is the deed mentioned in a
prior portion of the Instru
ment. Likewise, when he pre
faces a legal document with
a long list of "whereases." he
is simply reciting pertinent
facts for the benefit of the
court to show the facts of the
situation that lead to the exe
cution of the instrument.
The difficulty with draft
ing a document in layman's
language Is that to the
trained analyst such language
is susceptible of several
meanings, and consequently
may lead to controversy or
litigation. It is the draftman't
purpose to avoid litigation
