Women's News More Effective State Government Is Urged If the states do not keep their governments strong and effective, they run the risk of having the federal govern rnent step in and tell them what to do. Mrs. Barbara Ash lev Phillips, speaking to mcmbUj of Medford Zonta club at the last meeting, gave this warning while talking about the necessity for con stitutional revision. Mrs. Phillips, member of a local committee organized to spread information about the proposed revision to be con sidered by the 1963 leglsla ture, believes thai under the present constitution we have a number of "headless bu reaucracies" and that the governor is not being given the power and responsibility which he should have to be effective. The speaker pointed out that the need for a new con stitution has been discussed for the past 20 years or more, said that the present docu ment is filled with material which should not be a part of it and thai a committee ap pointed to draft a new consti tution did so after months of hearings, research and work. The document is being con sidered by the 1063 legisla ture and it is believed that it will be reported out, possibly after changes, for action by the state's voters. Mrs. Phillips said that un der the present constitution and with the legislature meet ir.g only every other year, budgets and other plans must be made too far in advance for efficiency. She added that the governor has too little control over the executive branch of Oregon govern ment, such as the boards, commissions and agencies. "Under the present system, he cannot maintain a coher ent direction for these boards, commissions and agencies," she stressed. She added that adequate control and direction did not neces sarily mean that the governor would demand too much uni formity, or be dictatorial. Board Discussed Speaking of the Oregon Board of Control, which han dles funds for the state's in stitutions, Mrs. Phillips said that in times past money has been appropriated for thee Institution! which the Board of Control then ref vised to spend. There is now no sys ten) of checks or controls on what is being done, she ex plained, and said "Our cxecu live hfs no power to do his Job." Speaking of courts, Mrs. Phillips, a lawyer, said that Oregon needs an integrated judicial system, and added that at present the adminis tration of these courts is poor and that the results are some times "bizarre." She believes that the legis lature should meet annually; if full sessions are not needed yearly, alternate years could bo devoted to a fiscal session, she suggested. Mrs. Phillips also spoke of legislative appor tionment, Which she said is now rela tively automatic, and told how it is set up. Changes Suggested I he speaker said a new constitution m i g h t provide for the election of fewer state officials, possibly only the governor. He would appoint the necessary heads of de psrtmenU, with approval by the senate. The proposed con st itution provides for n con (roller (such an officer could be either appointed or elect ed) whose duty it would be to check on the executive. Mrs. Phillips urged her listeners to provide them selves With copies of the pro posed constitution and study It. They may be obtained from the Committee for Con stitutional Revision, the State Capitol, Salem. The speaker also talked about the fiscal problems of Oregon saying they are '"se rious" and added that the v is grave concern in the stato over finding sufficient funds f o r schools and nee es sa r y services which the state must provide. "Wis aren't meeting our education problems," she dee la red. Mrs. Phillips spoke of taxes and pointed put that under Oregon's present tax struc ture, there is too much tax burden on real property, and on middle income residents. She said many believe that thi tax base should be broad Talent Group Cancels0 Session Talent Talent Garden club j ha, postponed its April nice' mg from Wednesday, April 3. ! until April 10, it was an- ! nounced today.

Tobcy, Research Director of the world's largest hankrobrt. floor maker "Self-polishing waxes are great for linoleum, tile, and vinyl floors but not wood. That's because most of thrtn are made primarily of synthetic plastics. They simply cannot be removed from yovr wood floors without damaging the finish or the wood. The layers of old self-polishing wax pile up until your wood floor darkens and discolors! For this reason, we recommend the use of Bruce Cleaning Wax or Brace Floor Cleaner on your wood floors. Both contain a combination of removable liquid paste wax and waterless wood floor cleaner. They clean; remove the old wax; and leave a rich, new coat of gleaming paste wax protection all at the same time. If you "want a heavy coat of wax, use Bruce Cleaning Wax. b or lighter waxing and badly soiled floors, you'll prefer Bruce Floor Cleaner. It's the right way, the easy way to keep your wood floors clean and bright." I For everyone you know . Easter- I Many religious, traditional, I and humorous designs.
