Bill To Cut Pay 01 Legislators, Officials Fails
SALEM (UPI) -The Way
and Means Salary subcommittee
failed again Friday to approve a
bill to cut the pay of legislators
and state officials.
Three members of the sub
committee voted to approve the
bill. Four voted against it.
The bill would have empower
ed Gov. Mark Hatfield to cut
salaries of himself, the legisla
ture, secretary of state, treasur
er, attorney general and labor
commissioner up to 10 per cent
for the rest of this biennium.
Several legislators told the
committee the legislature,
in particular, should tighen its
belt in view of the stale's fiscal
crisis.
Most of them agreed, however
legislators are not overpaid.
Reps. Ross Morgan, D-Gresham,
and Beulah Hand, D-Milwaukie,
replied that it would be a mis
take to cut salaries purely "for
a better image.".. .
The discussion brought forth
some praise for Republican
Gov. Hatfield from Democratic
Ways and Means Co-Chairman
Morgan.'
It came during a debate over
whether the legislature should
specify budget cuts, or delegate
general budget-cutting authority
to Hatfield.
Morgan said Hatfield's own
party feels the governor has
made a "grave political mis-

take" by volunteering to do the
cutting himself.
"Hatfield has shown unusual
political courage in doing some
thing he knows is probably a
political mistake because he can
do a better job," Morgan said.
Rep. Stafford Hansell R-Her-miston,
called it "the big lie"
to say that the legislature can
not spell out cuts in more de
tail. Sen. Alfred Corbctt, D-Port-land,
responded that the gover
nor must have flexibility in
making adjustments after the
legislature goes home, since the
full effects of some of the cuts
will not be known for several
weeks.
The subcommittee Thursday
refused to pass out a bill by
Rep. Wlnton Hunt, R-Woodburn,
that would have reduced law
makers' pay from $250 to $125 a
month and would have elimi
nated expense money during
special sessions.

In 1907 ourifirst TB SeaU were
issued in America. This move
ment was founded by Miss
Emily Bissell of the Delaware
chapter of the American Red
Cross. In 1908 Seals were issued
throughout the country by the
American National Red Cross.
These seals carried the Red
Cross until the 1919' issue when
the double-barred cross was
placed on the seals with the
Red Cross. The 1919 issue is
the only seal that carries both.
Never again did any seal carry
the Red Cross.
With the 1920 seal we have
the "Double-barred" cross only,
the international symbol of the
crusade against the tuberculo
sis. This cross, called Lorraine,
was adopted by Godfrey de
Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine, as
his standard. He was chosen by
the Crusaders as the first Chris
tian King of Jerusalem in 1099.
Our TB seas still carry the
words Christmas Greetings.
Some may wonder why a seal
is mentioned along with stamps.
Most stamp collectors collect
them. I have one of each issue
since 1907. Denmark issued the
first Christmas seal in 1904.
f have one of each that Den
mark has issued. Interesting cov
ers can be had with different
combinations.
All 5c City Mail Delivery
stamps used for First Day of
Issue were phosphor-tagged and
l.Vi million of the 5c Washing
ton stamps have been printed
with the luminescent phosphor
coating.
Christmas is coming and the
new stamp is here. Many fas
cinating covers can be had,
there are over 25 post offices
with Christmas cancellations,
such as Santa, Idaho. There
are eight different stames with
a Bethlehem postoffice, Christ
mas Valley, Oregon; Christmas
Island, Hawaii; and four states
with a North Pole, post office.
Our Christmas stamp had its
first day of issue at Santa
Claus, Ind., Nov. 1.
Eighteen African states are
affiliated with the EEC (Euro
pean Economic Community).
Stamp collectors can look for
ward to commemorative stamps
from each state, very much like
the Europa issues. This would
be a fascinating collection.
Get in on the ground floor to
keep your cost down, otherwise
they will be as hard to get and
as costly as the Europa stamps.
Mongolia has issued some
beautifull butterfly s t a m p s, a
butterfly collection is interest
ing. Sept. 29 Albania issued a
magnificent set.
Israel has issued two picture
postcards, the first ones were
issued Aug. 20, 1950. This col
lection alone makes an attrac
tive display. .
Each month I receive many
telephone calls from both men
and women, nearly all tell me
the same thing and asking me
the same questions. "I have
many old old letters, that I
have been tearing the stamps
off and giving to the children
in my neighborhood." "In your
Collector's Corner you seem to
think the stamps should be left
on all envelopes, please tell me
why?"
Yes, I believe all stamps
should be left on the envelope.
This way they have the can
cellation showing. This alone is
history. And in New York Oct.
23, 1963, an 1851 enveloped
franked with a horizontal strip
of the lc blue Benjamin Frank
lin stamp issued by our govern
ment July 1, 1851, sold for
$12,000. So please do not re
move the stamps from the en
velopes, especially old letters.
My pen friend in Iceland has
sent me envelopes franked with
the most beautiful flower stamps
I have seen in a long time. One
envelope carries seven different
flower stamps. For the geology
collector, a sheet of the TB
seals from Okinawa showing
the colored coral found in the
waters around Okinawa is in
teresting to have. Last year
Mexico's TB seals pictured 50
different kind of birds all in. full
color, this year it's Butterflies
and a beautiful sheet, each a
different butterfly and in bril
liant colors.
For the collector that never
can hope to own the Gold Tonga
13 round stamps, Life magazine,
Oct. 11 issue, gives a fine pic
ture of them. This we can all
own. A First Day cover would
he wonderful to see. I have
heard of no one that has seen
one. They are listed in stamp
papers for $47.50 for one cover.
The price will climb rapidly.
Visit our Stamp Club meeting
the first Thursday in each
month.

ever before for basic lax reform."
