State Constitution Group
Split Over Change Methods
By PAUL W. HARVEY JK.
SALEM Pov, Paul L. PsU
lerson's plsn to csll a convention
to write a new stste Constitution
got sue vera setbsck last weekend.
The Constitution Revision Com
mittee, appointed Jointly by Uie
Legislature and the governor, spilt
down llio middle on whether a con
vention should be held.
Thai's going to make It very
hard lor Uie governor lo convince
the Leglslslure, which meets here
next Junusry, thai a convention Is
the answor.
Hie committee voled 7 to 6 for
a convention, with three members
absent.
In his message to the IBM Legis
lature, Pnlterson msde the consti
tutional convention his No. 1 re
quest. He asked that the Legisla
ture submit a proposal 10 the peo
ple to have a convention.
The Legislature balked. Instead,
It provided lor the present com
mittee to recommend whether Uie
Constitution needs to bo changed,
snd whether It should be rewritten
si a convention.
Nearly everybody agrees with
the governor's position that the
Constitution needs some drsstic
cutting slid revision. It hssn't been
overhsulcd since Oregon became a
s)ale In 18.10, and It contains a lot
of matter that has no business be
Uig In a Constitution.
The argument Is over how it
should be done.
The governor doesn't think It can
be done properly by hsvlng the
people vote on amendments sub
mitted by the Legislature, The six
member minority of the committee
wsnts It done that way.
Patterson believes Ihst a thor
ough lace lifting Job can be done
only by having a convention write
a new one.
The fear of a convention la based
on Uie premise that II might tske
swsy some of the rights of Uie
people.
For Instsnce, Uie Isbor snd fsrm
groups which oppose a isles tax
are afraid that a convention might
make It possible for Uie Legisla
ture to put emergency clauses on
tsx bills. This would prevent Uie
people Irom hsvlng a veto power
over Uie Leglslsture's tax bills.
One member of the ConstlluUon
Revision Committee ssld this:
"I sgree with the governor that
the Constitution should be revised.
But I'm afraid that If we have e
convention, It might come up with
something morse then we have
now." '
The governor's answer to this
argument ts Ihst experts would
drsft proposals for a new Consti
tution and submit them to the pro
posed convention.
Those opposed to Uie convention
Idea ssy Uist uie best wsy Is for
Uie Leglslslure to drsft a series of
smendmcnts lo revise the Consti
tution, -snd submit them to Um
people. The danger hero Is Umt
the people might vote sgalnst
some of the vllsl provisions, snd
thus leave the stste with sn In
complete Constitution.
If the 1W5 Legislature decided
lo do It by amendment, then the
people would vote on them st Uie
1066 general election,
If the Legislature voted for a
convention, Uien tho people would
have to decide on whether lo hold
it, loo. Tlicn the people would elect
their delegates lo the convention.
After the convention finished Its
new Constitution, then Uie docu
ment would be submitted to the
people, wiw would decide whether
to accept or reject the whole thing.
The convention process probably
would lake about four years from
the time the Leglslslure voted for
the convention until Uie people
voled on the new Constitution.
Tills Issue will be one of the
most controversial of Uie next
Leglslslure.
Patterson, who worked hard to
sell Uie Idea to the 1 853 Leglsls
lure, promises to work even hard
er at the next session.
Oregon Grain
Storage Needed
Notwithstanding bad weather It
Is still expected that In Oregon
Uie grsln crop will greatly ex
ceed available storage.
The grain acreage in the Klam
ath Basin Is sometwhat greater
thsn last year and even with un
usual losses due to dry weather
snd low temperatures, growers who
do not have adequate storage
should be giving this some
thought. Barley without storage
might sell at a greatly reduced
price.
The ASC office In the Tower
Theatre building can provide in
formation as to government loans
for new grain storage.
