County Representatives Deny the do nothine" charrM leveled against the 1963 Legis lating was denied by all mem bers of the Jackson County delegation, speaking before the Medford Chamber of Com merce roundtable Monday noon at North's Chuck Wagon. Under questioning, how ever, there was agreement that no outstanding program to meet the changing times grew out of the longest session in Oregon history. Before the legislature con vened, even before the present members were elected, State Sen. Lynn W. Newbry, first speaker on the panel, pointed out, he "predicted that the 1963 session would be the longest and most difficult. It was," he added, "the hardest working, also, and the least popular in many years." The previous legislature, he contended, set the stage for this difficulty. Senator New bry added that he was not crit icizing that legislature, of which he, also was a part, but pointed out that it was up to the 1963 legislature to raise funds for an unprecedented budget. Major Accomplishments A s major accomplishments of the 1963 session, the Jack son county senator listed the adjustment of budgets and passage of a taxation program. He added lhat he had not been satisfied with the tax program but that he voted for it be cause he had voted for the ap propriations that had to be fi nanced. This tax program did more clearly reflect the cost of gov ernment than the other pro gram, allied with the cigarette tax, which would soon prove inadequate, Newbry contend ed. Representative Ed Branch field praised the work of the Jackson county delegation, stating "Everyone from here worked hard and effectively. We did have the opportunity to stop some very bad bills in committee." Referring to measures of particular interest to Jackson county people which were passed by the session, Branch field mentioned the measure to prevent storage of dyna mite in areas accessible to livestock and irrigation dis trict legislation. The divorce conciliation bill, Branchfield predicted, will have a far reaching effect. He said the 1963 legislature Plumbers Tools For RENT At A to Z Rental 1213 N. Riverside 779-1474 m mi.

Expresses Disappointment He expressed disappoint ment that the constitutional revision legislation was not passed. Referring to the tax program adopted, Branchfield said he did not vote for it, but would when it is referred to the people in the fall. "Whether we like it or not," he declared, "we have to run this state of Oregon and we must have money to do it." Branchfield said he thought the leadership could have been and should have been stronger but added that there were 90 views in the legisla ture, 91 counting the gover- Vocational School To Appeal Ruling Portland-UPD-The Simmons Institute filed notice Monday it intends to appeal a deci sion of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Leon P.

He concluded that the in stitution already was operat ing without a license, that it failed to state the qualifica tions of its instructors and that there was evidence stu dents were being influenced to invest in other business ventures of the institute, notably land development projects in Central Oregon.

He listed as one of the most encourag ing discoveries he made at the legislature the realization that one member can influence leg islation if it is in his commit tee. Repeats Contention Representative James Red den repeated the contention of the first speakers that the 1963 legislature was a hard working legislature. He said impressions to the contrary were often gained by the press because most of the work was done in committee with few dramatic incidents to be re ported from the floor. He described the heavy work load resulting from the effort to conduct public hear ings on every bill. The great est problem faced by the 1963 legislature, he said, was the fact that the surplus was gone. The legislature had to raise $60 million through a tax pro gram, he explained, adding that he preferred the original bill with net receipts and cig arette tax, but that he voted for the budgets so felt he had to vote for a tax bill to finance them. He maintained that any tax bill .passed would have been referred to the people. Claims Are Refuted He stated that he personally preferred to see more money in basic school support fund. Referring to possible alterna tives if the tax bill is turned down by the people, he said the governor would have the choice of cutting $60 million from the budget or calling for a special session.

He refuted claims that vot ing was done on strictly par tisan lines. There were only two or three instances, he, de clared, in which the votes were divided on party lines. Representative John Dellen back, senior member of the delegation, also stressed the role of the committees in Ore gon law making. In this state, the committee is the vital and tremendous influence, he de clared. "You predeter mine what the legislature does when you set up the commit tees," he insisted.

A new air conditioner, costing $487,000, will replace the original, which was in stalled in 1929. Servicemen COMPLETES COURSE Army Pvt. William H. Mari cal Jr., whose parents reside at route 2, Medford, recently completed a five-week air plane maintenance course at the Aviation center, Ft. Ruck er, Ala., where he received training in -the maintenance of various single-engined air craft. PROMOTED Roy O. Schroeder, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin O. Ricks of 524 South Grape St., has recently been promoted to air man second class in the Unit ed States Air Force and is presently assigned to the 151st field maintenance squadron at Travis Air Force Base, Calif.

"I see in retrospect that Duncan did a very good job," he stated. Two Significant Votei Two s i g n i f i cant votes, which he claimed were re corded on strictly party lines were on the sales tax and re apportionment. Lamenting failure of the constitutional revision legisla tion, Dellenback referred to passage of the bill for reor ganization of the department of commerce as a pilot pro gram which may lead to con fidence in reorganization. He said he did not feel that all had been lost in defeat of the constitutional revision legisla tion since important ground work had been laid. He predicted that sessions of the legislature would con tinue to grow longer until the state goes to annual sessions. Trying to guess 2V4 years in advance is too difficult. The state is getting too complex for short sessions with this long period elapsing between sessions, he summarized. The greatest problem facing education is how to maintain quality with the increased numbers to be considered, he remarked. Saw No Provision Asked during the question period why he had opposed constitutional revision, New bry replied that it was be cause of article 5, which he maintained would have de stroyed government through citizen participation, which Oregon has today. la MEDfailO-SlI Leveled I saw no provision for citi zen participation. It was not an easy decision to make. I know Oregon needs some new language in the constitution," Newbry concluded. Asked if he did not believe In two-party government, Del lenback responded that he did, but that he thought when the membership is -f.s closely di vided as it was in the 1983 House, and when the party in power "does not have a strong program to push," the House should be organized on non partisan lines. Given a preview of ques tions to be submitted to the delegation next week when he will not be present, Newbry said if the referendum on the new tax measure is defeated in the October election, the state will be faced with the necessity for a special session of the legislature to bring in another proposal and in the meantime will lose at least $24 million by the time the process is completed. Considering a curtailment of services of adjustment of budgets, he continued, there will be two places vulnerable, higher education and the basic school fund, with two alterna tives to be considered - higher fees and increased property taxes at the local level. Referring to the defeat of the Civil Defense budget, the Jackson county senator said the budget was poorly pre pared and the legislature was still thinking about the disas trous October storm experi ence. He contended that the federal government was not assuming its responsibility in .this field. '" liCL', f'-'U Lw ' . ja, IV ' I 4 -tf ifcs)(l3 V VS., j , X C AT .) INDEPENDENCE DAY! .
