r TTESDAY. NOVEMBER 13. 103R HERALD ANT) NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Hew State Legislature Pacing Many Problems Bv PALL W. HARVEY, Jr. SALEM (API - The 195!) Legisla ture will face nine dillicult prob lems when it meets here Jan. 12. These touch all the bases, in volving such subjects as finance, highways. power, education unemployment compensation and overnment reorganization. . Here arc the major problems to be faced by the Democratic Legis lature and Republican Gov. -elect Mark Hatfield: 1. The budget will have to be halanced. yet will have to be in creased to take care of increased demands by schools, colleges and Institutions. Neither party wants new taxes, but there probably will be some readjustment in the tax laws to make them more equitable. 2. Money will have to be pro Soil Men Attend Meet FORT ROOK The Fort Rock Silver Lake Soil Conservation Dis trict was represented by Owen Pitcher. Fort Rock, and bston Por ter. Silver Lake, at an area meet ing for district supervisors and Soil Conservation Service tech nicians held in Klamath Falls No vember 12. Work unit conserva tionist. Everett Green, attended with them from the Silver Lake office. Pitcher was on a panel which discussed the use of district equip ment. Some 40 supervisors and SCS men serving the districts dis cussed program planning. Bob Baum. executive secretary for the State Soil Conservation Committee, arranged for the meet ing and pointed out the functions of the committee in relation to the district program. Tom Helsclh of Portland, slate conservationist, spoke on how the SCS can help districts and Rich ard King of Corvallis told how the extension service can assist. The local district's planning for the future was also considered last week when Earl Jones, area con servationist, and Fred Greenfield, range specialist, both of Bend, spent two days in Silver Lake. They inspected district program ming with Everett Green and Jack Gillette, district engineer. Further. they checked recent work done on some of the ranches receiving dis trict services in planning and de velopment. Greenfield completed work Fri day on a ranch plan for F. A. Frazee, a district cooperator. They planned with William Leav- ell and Carl McCrillis of the Bu reau of Land Management, Lake- view, fpr proper use of public grazing lands in relation to the overall plan for ranch develop ment. Murder Trial Is vided for new college and inslitu- lon buildings. The question will e whether In provide construc tion money within the budget, or to submit a bond issue to the people to provide a long-range construction program. 3. The Highway Commission ays that in order to get enough state money to match federal con struction funds, there must be a sasoline tax increase of one cent gallon, and that the $10 moior vehicle license fee must be in creased to $15. 4. The entire unemployment compensation law must be over hauled to provide enough payroll tax money to pay the ' benefits. There is a possibility that the Unemployment Compensation Commission might go broke dur ing the legislative session, so the need for legislation is urgent 5. Democrats will try to pass legislation to put the state into the power business. They might suc ceed, too. although Hatfield prob ably would veto it. 6. Educators again will ask for an increase in basic school aid to school districts. This aid was increased last year from $80 to $105 a year for each child on the school census, although the school people asked for $120. Now they want $150. saving that represents half the cost of education. Wheth er the money-short Legislature can afford an increase is a ques tion. 7. The fate of Oregon Technical Institute at Klamath Falls will he settled. The choices are to rebuild it on a new site near Klamath Falls, keen it at the present site. or move it to Oregon Slate Col lege. The Legislature also will decide whether to provide voca tional technical education in other communities. 8. Gov. Robert D. Holmes' plan lo require every automobile own er to have naniiny insurance win be submitted to the Legislature, but the insurance industry will wage a fight against it. Insurance men say being forced to carry poor risks will raise the cost 'of insurance and so will higher jury awards they expect when jurors know that an insurance company will foot the bill. !). A Democratic-controlled in terim committee wants the gover nor to be given authority lo re organize the state government, subject only lo a veto control by the Legislature. Now that a Rc nublican will be governor, there is a question whether the Demo crats would want him to have this authority. Another controversial item in this field is the proposed merger of the stale risn ana Game commissions. THE D LLES, Ore. (APi-The second degree murder trial of Douglas Jake, 55.
