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

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.
