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

the Consumers Heating Co. of
Klamath Falls with the Oregon
Public Utilities Commissioner will

The council heard a request
from William Lofgran represent
ing the Seventh Day Adventist

council advised the church repre

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.

sealed bida will be accepted by tne
allowance of members of the Legislature.
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.

Sam Coon Promises Work

Mrs. Toney Castel. 443 South F
LAKEVIEW Congressman Sam
Coon promised here Monday to
push legislation next year which
would prevent the Defense Depart
ment from withdrawing or reserv
ing more than 5,000 acres of pub
lic land without congressional ap
proval. 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

over vast holdings in our district
to be used for bombing operations
or similar purposes," he said.
"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.
