Three Legislative Proposals on Highways Draw Committee Opposition Three proposals before the Oregon legislature which would affect the state's high way program drew unani mous opposition from the gov ernmental operations commit tee of the Medford Chamber of Commerce upon recom mendation of Paul Rynning, chairman of the chamber's highway committee, last week. Rynning, in recommending opposition to House Joint Res olution 13, HB 1352 and SB 227, said they "would only hamstring the highway com mission, prevent orderly budg eting and planning for state highway building and im provement and put the com- t h r Vj ! ! :J i I 0 ' V ' Xxrr ..jr mission under pressure from pressure groups throughout the state. The joint resolution, accord ing to Rynning, states that the highway commission "shall" construct a bridge across the Willamette river between Sa lem and Newberg. HB 1325 permits the highway commission to issue bonds to maximum of $37 million par value for improvement of state hishways and bridges. SB 227 permits the state highway commission to issue bonds in maximum aggregate principal sum of $17 million for location, relocation, im provement, construction and reconstruction of state high ways and bridges, provides that the act become effective only if and when basis for computation of motor vehicle and aircraft fuel license taxes is increased to more than 6 cents per gallon or if and when annual vehicle license fee is increased. HB 1234, a bjll relating to sale of subdivided land, was opposed by Walter Jones, com mittee member and local re altor, in his presentation to the governmental operations committee. Would Regulate Sales The bill provides for regu lation of sale and lease of same by the Oregon real es tate department, and issuance of a public report by the de partment for distribution to each prospective purchaser, and provides penalties. Jones said the bill would not cure the evil it purports to erase and would give the real estate commissioner un precedented power in that any real estate subdivision would be subject to the com missioner's approval. Committee members voiced unanimous agreement with Jones' objections to the meas ure. The program for the break fast meeting at the Medford hotel opened with a discussion of "Constitutional Revision" for the state led by Mrs. Bon nie Phillips, Medford attor ney. Reports on Constitution Mrs. Phillips reported that the proposed constitution makes certain changes in the form of state government. The executive branch would be made the responsi bility of the governor, she said. He would be the elective official responsible to the people. The legislature could give the governor such ap pointive power as he would have, but whatever appoint ments he made would be con current with his term in of fice and the appointee would be subject to removal by him. By making all boards and commissions exercising exec utive power responsible to the governor, the proposed constitution would make it possible to achieve a single ness of purpose from these agencies, Mrs. Phillips main tained. And this would also encourage economy by elim inating duplication, he added. The power to check up on the administration of state government would be lodged in a controller, responsible to SECTION D PAGES 1 to 8 MedfordKITribune MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1963 the legislature, under the pro posal, Mrs. Phillips stated. Combine Ctrtain Functions The controller would com bine certain functions, now exercised in a limited area by the secretary of state and the attorney general. The leg islature would determine whether the controller would be elected or appointed and could give him full Investi gatory power, if needed. The separation of the check up, from the operation being checked, is a step toward bet ter management of govern ment, the speaker stated. Turning to the legislative branch of government, Mrs. Phillips said under the pro posed constitution the legisla ture would have annual ses sions. This would enable the legis lature to keep the state rev enues in line with state needs and avoid the crises which result from having to budget two or three years in advance of needs as is done today. Consider 2.000 Bills The legislature today has some 2,000 or more bills to consider in a maximum of five months, usually, Mrs. Phillips added. The affairs of state would seem to demand more consideration. Annual sessions would encourage more public awareness of the operation of government, tnd as a result the state would be more able to care for its own affairs without federal assistance or intervention. The state that ignores its responsibilities cannot com plain of big government when its problems are taken elsewhere, Mrs. Phillips de clared. The judicial branch, the speaker said, would be chang ed only in that all judges would be appointed by the governor. Ninety per cent of them are now, she pointed out. Judges would be subject to removal by the people and the Supreme Court would be given the power to initiate changes in the court's rules of procedure. In summing up, Mrs. Phil lips stated that the new con stitution would make the governor more responsible for the administration of the laws, and would give thj leg. islature more power to see that he did a good job. Would Refer To People Asked how the new consti tution would be presented to the people, Mrs. Phillips an swered: "If an informed pub lic requires it, the legislature would refer the revised con stitution to the people at the next general election." Mrs. Phillips added that she favored presenting It as a whole rather than part by part. Robert D. Heffernan Jr., chairman of the government al operations committee, sug gested that members write to the Constitutional Revision committee, Capitol building, Salem, for copies of the docu ment preparatory to further discussion of the proposed constitution with Mrs. Phil lips. Heffernan also announced that Clarence Young will dis cuss the legislature's action on taxation at Wednesday'! meeting of the committee. Gerald Latham, who recent ly returned from Washington, D C, will lead a discussion of "present raids on O and C funds," and Col. W. H. Paine will report on local govern ment, and Ken Nottingham will report on bills affecting labor and industry.
