Oregon's congressional delega-j Even Oregon's lone Republi

joint session of Congress two
days after the burial of John F.
Kennedy.
Calls Talk Superb
Rep. Robert B. Duncan, the
freshman Democrat from Mcd
ford, called the speech "superb
and strong what I would ex
pect from Lyndon Johnson."
"It comes as close to express
ing my philosophy as anything
could civil rights to economy
in government," said Congress
man Duncan.
Rep. Al Ullman, Baker Demo
crat, called it a "very great
speech very fitting, very
strong he didn't hedge on any
of the issues. It's the kind of
statement I wanted him to
make."
Rep. Edith Green thought it
was "magnificent." She said
she agreed with the views John
son expressed 100 per cent. The
Portland Democrat who headed
Kennedy's campaign in Oregon
said: "I am tremendously
pleased that he called for us to
go forward and put into action
the program for which Presi
dent Kennedy lived and died."
Fears Are Squelched
For these liberal Democrats,
that is the heart of the matter
that Johnson gave every in
dication of taking up where
Kennedy left off, like a relay
runner, and running the next
lap with a fresh burst of energy.
Any fears they might have had
that Johnson might ditch the
Kennedy program were
squelched by his initial pledge
to try to put it across success
fully on foreign and domestic
fronts.
Congrcsswoman Green was
heartened by Johnson's giving
civil rights top priority. She was
also encouraged when he urged
Congress to act on pending
education legislation, which is
her specialty. She said she and
Sen. Wayne Morse are going to
take that to heart and see what
they can do to send some edu
cation legislation to the White
House for the new President's
signature.
Congressman Ullman wished
Johnson had come out specific
ally for medical care for the
aged tied to Social Security, but
maiden speccn couldn t cover
everything. He said he is cer
tain Johnson will later endorse
this Kenendy proposal, which is
currently before the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Apparent Exception
The only apparent exception
taken by one of the Oregon dele
gation was Sen. Wayne Morse,
refusing to applaud when John
said he knew that the short son spoke favorably of foreign
aid. Morse recently led an all-
out Senate attack on the admin
istration's foreign aid program,
resulting in a reduction of $500
million in the current foreign
aid authorization bill.
Otherwise, the major question
is the congressional timetable.
Mrs. Green, Ullman and Dun
can interpreted Johnson's
speech as a request for speedy
action this year rather than
putting off major decisions until
next year as has been indicated
on Capitol Hill by this year's
slow pace. Mrs. Green said
Congress should stay in session
into the Christmas holidays be
cause the lawmakers could give
the American people no finer
gift than some accomplishments
in the field of civil rights and
tax reduction, etc.
Obviously, the liberal Demo-
Budget Keeping Pace With Population Growth
The Jackson County budget
is keeping pace with the popu
lation increase, County Judge
Earl M. Miller has noted.
The county's population has
increased from 58,510 in 1950
to 82,346 in 1963. The budget
increased from $1,299,117.33 in
fiscal year 1948-49 to an estimat
ed $4,612,291.30 in 1963-64.
Of the 1948-49 budget, O and
C receipts (money from timber
harvest on the old Oregon and
California Railroad lands now
administered by the Bureau of
Land Management) contributed
$408,740.19 and other forest re
ceipts brought in $41,698.62. In
the 1963-64 fiscal year estimated
O and C receipts are $2,356,903.24
and other forest receipts
$327,549.07.
The county road budget has
increased from $539,128.14 in
1948-49 , fiscal year to an esti
mated $1,609,062 in the current
fiscal year. Total miles of
county roads is now 970.
Parks Budget Increase
The county parks budget has
increased from $3,000 in 1957-58,
first year of the program to an
estimated $105,472 for the cur
rent fiscal year.
In other words, in 15 years

the population has almost dou
bled, and the total county bud
get is four times what it was
in 1948-49. The county road
budget has tripled in that time.
The county parks budget in five
years also has tripled. Forestry
receipts, tne county s main in
come, has just about kept pace.
"This shows how important
to our local economy the for
esty Industry is," Miller pointed
out.
He also pointed out that O and
C land in Jackson County cov
ers 386,562 acres, national for
est and public domain land,
488,138 acres, other non-taxable
publicly owned land 7,502
acres and private land 519.288
acres. In other words, public
land consists of 51 per cent
in this county.
Jackson County for the fiscal
year 1962-63 ranked sixth of all
Oregon counties in budgeted ex
penditures. Multnomah County
was first with $29,799,072; Lane
County second, $10,383,727;
Douglas County third, $8,805,685;
Marion, fourth, $5,158,076;
Clackamas County, fifth, $4,
728.352 and Jackson County,
sixth, $4,373,761.
crats think the time to strike
for favorable action on these
controversial bills is now, while
there is a lessening of partisan
opposition, a heightening of bi
partisan co-operation with the
new president.
But the conservatives who
hold many key legislative posts
are expected to try to defer ac
tion until after Congress returns
in January, when perhaps the
era of good feeling toward the
slain president has diminished
and is less likely to influence
votes in favor of his pending
legislative proposals which they
oppose.
Johnson's first task, in short,
is to get Congress to go to work
on his program before the
honeymoon spirit evaporates in
the cold days of a presidential
election year ahead.
