(Editor's Note: This is the fifth article appearing in the Herald ', and News explaining state and lo cal measures which will appear ion the November 6 general elec tion ballot.) ... By MAX WACCHOPE The purpose of Proposition Five on the November 6 general elec tion ballot is to amend the Ore gon Constitution, section 29, Arti cle IV, to provide that members of the Legislature shall have their yearly.salaries increased from $600 per year to 11,200 per year. Leg islators also receive 10 cents per mile going to and from their homes to the regular sessions of the Leg islature and no other compensa tion. The presiding officers of the Leg islature i Speaker of the House and President of the Senate) now receive an additional one-third of their annual allowance as mem bers. This ratio would remain the same if the basic pay raise of the members is approved. The proposed amendment would make no change in the mileage Steam Heat Boost Asked A public hearine on a nronnsed Increase in steam rates filed by the Consumers Heating Co. of Klamath Falls with the Oregon Public Utilities Commissioner will be held Tuesday, October 30 in the city hall council chambers, an nounced the city council at its reg ular meeting Monday night. The heating company filed the change of rate request with the utilities commissioner on August 16 and it is asking a rate increase retroactive to October 1, 1956. The council heard a request from William Lofgran represent ing the Seventh Day Adventist Church to connect its school build ing at Williams and Main streets with the city sewage system. The council advised the church repre sentative that the most advanta geous way for the church to settle the problem was to annex its land to the city. The church owns about two acres In this area. Lofgran said he would contact City Attorney Henry Perkins about the legal stops for annexing the property to the city.

Since 1950, when the pay of the legislators was increased from 1400 per year, the 90 members of both houses of the Legislature have re ceived S600 per annum With the legislators receiving mileage only for the one trip to Salem at the beginning of the ses sion and one trip home at the close of the session, many of them have felt the pinch of maintain ing residence in the state capital for several months. Especially with the legislative sessions be coming longer each bienmum. A constitutional amendment which would have allowed the Legislature to fix Its own salary was voted down by the people in the 1954 general election. The proposed amendment ap pearing on this year's ballot would still leave the power to fix the legislators salary in the hands of the people. It would mean only the fixed increase of $600 per year until changed again by vote of the people. The amendment was referred to the .people by House Joint Resolution 8 in Jhe 48th Legislature in 1955 by a vote of 55 to 1 in the House and 16 to 12 in the .Senate. Proponents of the increase state that even if the increase is voted by the people of Oregen It will still leave, the state's legislators as the lowest paid of any of the Pacific Coast states. ' California pays its legislators $6,000 per year plus $14 per day Living expenses during sessions. Washington pays its legislative members $1,200 per year and $15 per day living expen ses for the first 60 days of the session. . Under the present salary rate an Oregon legislator receives $1,200 to pay ($600 lor each year) for his work in each biennial legisla tive session. In 1955, the Legisla ture was in session for 115 days making his pay approximately $10.43 per day. And out of this salary the legislator must pay all his living expenses, those in favor of the increase point out. It has been argued by those fav oring an increase in the legisla tors pay that the low present salary has kept many able indi viduals from running for office. This has the effect, they argue, of limiting the legislative service to the financially independent or those surreptitiously financed by special interest groups. One argument against the pro posed increase is that it would double the cost of paying' the leg islators from the present $54,400 per year to $108,800 per year at time when all other state expenses are also on the rise. Another point of opposition to the increase in pay has been the argument that candidates for the legislative offices file for the posts with full knowledge of the pay rate and that they should be more in terested in public service than in the salary. And it has been claimed that an -increase in pay would not necessarily Improve the quality of the legislators. Proposition Five gives every Oregon voter the chance to regis ter his. or her, thoughts on the mat ter of pay for the members of the Legislature. I tan mm-tmimmyivirrm JOSEPH M.

The lawmaker was here for a campaign visit, talked to millwork ers and attended a series of cof fee hours. The congressman warned that If large tracts of public domain land were reserved by the military, the ratio of federal aid for highway construction would be decreased, thus forcing a possible Increase in the state gasoline tax to make up the difference. The federal share of aid is based partly on the amount of unapprop riated and unreserved public lands and non-taxable Indian lands, he pointed out. At present, the fed eral share is about 60 per cent, and the state share, 40 per cent. "Under present law, the Defense department needs to apply only to WHAT! NO RUSTLERS HOLLYWOOD. Calif.

"This would wreck ranching op erations, be destructive to wild life and big game, and possibly prevent the development of natur al resources." Coon introduced a bill to require congressional approval last session. and similar legislation was passed by the House, but not acted on in the Senate. "I think that since we are now at peace, the Congress should be vested with the right to determine whether these lands should be reserved to the military," the said. About one acre of every four in Oregon consists of public domain or Taylor Grazing land, he pointed out, so this is a state which needs protection. He cited a case in Nevada to show what could happen. The Navy has applied for an exclusive shoot ing gallery of 2Mi million acres there, which if granted, probably would result in-a higher gas tax. he said. The Congressman and Mrs. Coon attended coffee hours Monday af ternoon at the homes of Mrs. Wil- Street, and Mrs. Sidney Shonyo, Goldmohr Terrace.
