11 Pay Cutback Would
Cause Many To Quit
By ZAN STARK
United Press Inlernaliomil
SALEM (UPI) - A cutback
in legislators' pay could cause
many lawmakers to resign and
others to abandon plans to seek
re-election.
The result would be the loss
of many of the state's most
dedicated and hard working
legislature.
The pay issue has split the
legislature.
Some lawmakers believe they
are performing a public serv
ice, and should not . receive
much pay. Others believe, just
as sincerely, that even the high
er pay scale now in effect is
not adequate.
Almost all agree that the pub
lic has no idea how hard most
of the lawmakers work.
One of the Senate's most re
spected and hard working mem
bers said privately ho would
have resigned if a pay increase
had not been approved earlier
this year, and he will quit if
his pay is cut.
Another legislator says h i s
business income suffered so
much during the session he
needed the salary and expense
money to feed himself and his
family.
Both are immune to the nor
mal partisan abuse they suffer
as legislators, but feel the pay
issue is a matter of principle.
Some legislators are quite
wealthy. Others are not.
There is no relation between
wealth and dedication to the
iol-
Included in the ranks of
"workers" and the few "play
boys" are those who are finan
cially independent as well as
those who have to watch then
pennies. While a pay hike from $50
in smn a month seems big, and
a per diem allotment of S20
seems monumental compared to
the old expense tormuia, u suu
isn't very much.
The salary and expenses for
most lawmakers this year will
total $5,060. Next year the total
will be $3,000. That's $8,660 for
two years.- Some lawmakers on
interim committees will receive
additional money for attending
meetings-but it will just cover
their expenses. .
Few private businessmen
would think of hiring a $4,300-a-vear
man to run a $600-mil-lidn-a-vcar
business. The argu
ment that legislators work only
four to six months a year does
n't hold- because if. they do
their job, they're at it al the
time, not just while the legis
lature is in session. ,
There was a lot of jockeying
involved in the introduction m
legislative pay cut bills in the
recent special session.
Few legislators will admit it,
but the fact is the House ap
proved a pay cut bill only after
being assured the Senate would
not act on it.

A frequent comment during
the session was that the Senate
could have played a marvelous
practical joke on the House by
enacting the pay cut bill.

known after Stacy Adams of
Yoncalla begins circulation of
petitions to initiate a pay cut.

the tots? I'd contest that will in
court.
Mrs. S. C. This is a pain
fully morbid subject and we cer
tainly pray nothing happens to
keep our children from raising
their own youngsters. But I
hope The Council can calm my
husband down. He assumed,
since Gert's mother is dead,
that we'd take over if, God for
bid, the worst happened. But
Neil knows we're not equal to it
physically. Besides those other
homes have children, young pa
tient parents with similar ideas.
The Council: In the midst of
life, as the dread ritual puts it,
we must think far far ahead to
what happens after. The young
parents referred to will, we
hope, keep those dangerous joint
forays to a minimum while their
responsibilities on terra firma
are so vital. But their realistic
position on the just-in-case pos
sibility of tragedy is commend
able. Knowing the grandparents
and knowing their little ones,
Neil and Gert feel it would be
tough on both ends to live to
gether. Perhaps the C.'s are too
sot, too jumpy, too "shockable,"
too rusty. A court would ordin
arily give priority to the stated
wishes of the parents. Only if, at
a later time, Mr. C. could prove
that his grandsons were ill-cared
for and that he'd do a better job,
would he have a chance at in
validating t h c guardianship
clauses of the will. The grand
parents could, of course, be the
focus for reunions of the broth
ers under one roof. Meanwhile,
though, what else is new, Mr.
C?
The crisis the worst since
France vetoed Britain's applica
tion for Common Market mem
bership 11 months ' ago w a s
based on a deadlock in efforts
to set unified farm prices and
subsidies for the six market na
tions. A meeting of Common Market
agricultural ministers went into
its third day with no sign of a
break in the impasse between
F.r a n c e and Germany, the
body's two most powerful mem
bers. French President Charles de
Gaulle warned last July that
France would "review" its
Common Market policies unless
the farm question were settled
by Dec. 31, but later French
statements had been interpreted
to mean the deadline' was not
firm.
French Agriculture Minister
Edgar Pisani warned the other
delegates Tuesday, however,
that the deadline "is not a leg
end or a fantasy." He then left
abruptly for Paris to consult his
government, saying only that
he might return to Brussels to
day. Observers said the implied
threat was that France would
quit the market or boycott its
ministerial meetings a crip
pling blow unless the dead
line is met,
Trade experts said that if Ihe
Common Market ceased to iunc
tion Western Europe's econom
ic expansion could grind to a
halt. They said this could have
a serious elfect on western oe
fense planning
The Common Market, formed
six years ago as a step toward
single European economic
community, is composed of
Franco, Germany, Italy, Bel
gium, The Netherlands and
Luxembourg.
France, which has large sur
pluses of farm products, wants
to keep down government price
subsidies and sell its cheap ag
ricultural products to Germany
and other Common Market na
tions. It wants the protection of
high tariffs on farm products
from non-market nations.
Such a program could make
France the most powerful na
tion in Europe, on the basis of
agricultural and industrial
wealth.
Germany wants high govern
ment farm subsidies and low
tariffs. The German govern
ment is fearful of losing the
farm vote if it drastically re
duces the current high farm
price supports. It favors low
tariffs in order to continue buy
ing much of its farm produce
from non-market countries like
the United States and Denmark,
which are good customers for
German manufactured goods.
