A young sailor home on leave

on two traffic charges, District
Court Judge Hal F. Coe said Tues

slammed on his brakes, his car
sliding into a ditch. The officer
told him to remain there but Hu

speed through the residential area
with his lights off. He was finally
stopped at the corner of Balsam
Drive and Granite Street.

LEGISLATOR REPORTS . .
Tempo Of Legislature
Picking Up Noticeably
By REP. GEORGE FLITCRAFT
Monday, Feb. 6, finds the 51st
Legislative Assembly beginning
its fifth week of" operation. An in
crease in the tempo can be no
ticed, and I imagine that, before
long, we'll really be in high gear.
The 25th day, which is the last
day to request the drafting of
bills by legislative counsel, has
come and gone. Bills already in
process with a priority rating can
be introduced as they are re
ceived from legislative counsel.
Each legislator is allowed three
priorities and, as the deadline ap
proaches, these sometimes become
quite valuable.
AU other bills must be intro
duced no later than the 35th day or
be approved by the committee on
rules and resolutions. During the
next ten days it is anticipated
that both the House and Senate
will receive a flood of bills, mak
ing our bill books even more pon
derous. Much of this proposed
legislation will be closely related,
but reflecting the individual's
thinking on the subject. With the
influx of this new crop of bills,
the picture concerning many is
sues will become more . cloudy
and confused. The areas being af
fected to the greatest degree are
education, taxation, reorganization
and reapportionment. A classic
example is the field of taxation.
The word being circulated through
the halls is that if you don't have
a tax bill in, you are not a
bona fide legislator. It is the re
sponsibility of the committees to
study these measures and by a
process, similar to grading pota
toes, attempt to fuse all the good
points into a single, logical train
of thought.
Many of the flavorless so-called
"housekeeping" bills have been
attended to and the issues now
coming before committees are pro-i
viding greater interest and great
er crowds. During the past week
we have conducted hearings on
House BUI 1001, the personal in
come tax revision bill, and House
Bill 1034, a bill repealing the prop
erty tax exemption crops and de
ciduous trees. Needless to say,
both were well attended. HB 1001
eliminates all deductions, lowers
tax rates and imposes a one per

cent gross Income tax. Oppon
ents did not take issue with the
bill in its entirety, but picked on
the clauses that would affect their
particular interests. For example,
one group favored elimination o(
deductions, but opposed the gross
income tax feature, while other
groups individually opposed the
elimination of deductions for non
business interests and contribu
tions to charitable and and edu
cational institutions.
House Bill 1230, which would
place a 100-day limit on the length
of the legislative session, was de
feated by a narrow margin this
past week. Although I am not
opposed to shorter sessions. I vot
ed against this measure because
of the accompanying dangers.
The mad scramble caused by this
sort of a deadline would inevit
ably lead to the approval or dis
approval of legislation without
thorough consideration. It would
increase the possibility of special
sessions with additional expense to
the taxpayer.
House Bill 1314 should be of
great interest to all counties. In
past years, counties have turned
much land, acquired through non
payment of taxes, over to the
state for rehabilitation. This bill
requires the state to sell back
to counties, so requesting, any
forest lands previously conveyed
to the state including the limber
still on the land. It also provides
a formula for the state to receive
payment for the lands and ex
penses incurred for rehabilitation.
This measure opens the avenue
toward getting these lands back
on the tax rolls. ;
For three days we have had a
large number of 4-H Club mem
bers visiting the capitol. They
had an opportunity to sit in and
observe the various phases of
legislative process. We were very
pleased to meet and visit with
two from Klamath County, Sherry
Hobson and Dick Owens. Many
visitors pass through the capitol
every day and are always wel
come. The wombat is an Australian
animal that resembles a cross
