A simple slogan. Its origin
obscure, adorns the walls of
several Salem offices near
Oregon's Capitol. It reads:
"No man's life, liberty or
property are safe while the
legislature
is in session.
The statement was made by
a N(>w York appeals court
judge in 1806 He described
it then as an . . . “old saying,”
and may have paraphrased the
original It may first have
been uttered by Thomas Jef
ferson, a frequent critic of
legislative tyranny, who also
forecast eventual
executive
tyranny at some point in the
distant future.
Watever its source, one must
presume that since the 58th
biennial session of the Ore
gon legislature adjourned June
14. we are now safe again.
But experience tells us it
will be months before even
lawmakers learn
priTiscly
what they did to or for life,
liberty and property during
their 153-day third-longest
session on record.
No one will question that
life, liberty and property
were among the myriad sub
jects involved during consider
ation of 2,630 proposals in
troduced and passage of 867
measures—-both of which also
are all-time records for legis
lative activity. And the sheer
magnitude of newly enacted
law, coupled with last-minute
compromises on many by a re
cord number of conference
committees during the session's
waning days, further compli
cates an early accurate assess
ment.
Nontheless, a quick tabubla-
tion of the monetary impact
of much new legislation lends
ample credence to the old say
ing and each of the state's
792.000 households may wind
up about $200 poorer before
the Oregon Assembly meets
in regular session again in
January 1977.
This premise is based on an
examination of enacted mea

Don was amazed at the size of
the logs on some of the logging

his way to Mill City, and was
intrigued by the sawmills and

Mill City Wednesday after

Dana Andrews, is available for
use without cost to civic, social,
religious and fraternal organiza
tions and schools.
The film, which probably
represents the screen’s first nar
rative presentation of the prob
lems faced by persons with un
recognized or unalleviated hear
ing losses, was produced by
Chicago-based Bclione Elec
tronics Corporation, world lead
er in hearing aids and electronic
hearing test instruments. It is
part of the company's program
of building public awareness of
the problems faced by the hear
ing impaired.
Andrews portrays a college
professor who has experienced
and found help for a hearing
loss. Contrasted with Andrews
is another central character of
the movie, a successful archi
tect whose career and family
relationship are threatened by
his unalleviated hearing impair
ment.
In addition to the obvious
problem of not being able to
clearly hear and understand,
the architect also is experienc
ing the psychological aide ef
fects frequently displayed by
persons with unalleviated hear
ing losses. These include with
drawing from social activities,
acquiring a reputation as “hard
to get along with" and feelings
of persecution.
