HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Or. Thursday. March 16. 19M PAGE 5-A Lawyers Duel Oh Senate Labor Bill SALEM (API Attorneys for labor and management dueled Wednesday over a bill that would give Oregon its own version of the federal Landrum Griffin labor law. It would set up a body of rules aimed at avoiding labor strife and would help keep such strife with in reasonable boundaries to pro tect the state and public, said William F. Lubersky, Portland, attorney for Associated Oregon Industries. The bill will not help labor re lations but will destroy the kind that exist today in Oregon, said James T. Marr, executive secre tary of Oregon AFL-CIO. He called labor relations now in Ore gon good. "Since the repeal of the anti picketing law in Oregon, nothing has happened to demonstrate any need or legislation to regulate and control picketing," said Don Richardson, Portland labor attor ney. Richard R. Carney, Portland attorney representing the Interna tional Brotherhood of Teamsters, said the bill would make it more difficult for unions to organize employes of small firms. In replying to questioning by Senate State and Federal Affairs Committee members, Carney said he did not think small businesses in Oregon were at Ihe mercy of big labor unions. j Thomas K. Thorpe said he was at the, hearing to represent Byron W. Wright, one small retail meat market owner who was having labor troubles. Thorpe said Wright's two em ployes did not want to join the AFL-CIO Butcher's Union. "Yes terday a picket appeared before the place," said Thorpe, display ing a picture. Thorpe said this employer is not covered by the federal law and feels a state law would protect him from this organizational picketing. Attorney General Declares Reapportionment Plan Illegal SALEM (API A Republican sponsored "preferred" plan for reapportioning the Oi-egon Legis lature was called unconstitutional Wednesday by Ally. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton. While Chairman George Annala, D-Hood River, termed the Thorn There are three million miles of surface streams in the United States, according to the Encyclo pedia Britannica. ton advice just another opinion, his committee pulled back a re apportionment bill it had reported out ot committee tavoiably. The bill recommended by the committee made only a minor change in the ' Republican-approved plan. It drew support from Republicans and eastern Oregon Democrats. "By the plain language of the constitution." Thornton's opinion said, "Multnomah County is en titled to 18 members. The preferred plan proposed to limit Multnomah County to 16 mem bers." This new development means the house elections and reappor tionment committee must do its work all over again. , Annala said a representative of the attorney general's office would be asked to attend a com Imittee meeting and "tell us just I what joining of counties to form legislative districts will be consti tutional." The Republican plan would take one representative seat from east em Oregon and give it to Clack amas County. It would take a half-Senate seat from Polk Coun ty and give it to Washington Coun ty. The plan approved by tlie com mittee would change this to give a representative jointly to the Multnomah-Clackamas district. The Thornton opinion said the state's representative ratio is ob- IninpH hv Hii'irtiniT thp cfalit'c rail umiiuii ui ...uo.uu. w, UK num ber of senators, to get the Senate ratio. This formula gives Multnomah County a ratio ot 17.7. The bill voted out of committee gives Multnomah County 16i. The additional one for its major frac tion. The major fraction exists be cause the county has more thai SO per cent of the number of people needed for another House seat. "This same objection would ap ply to senators from Multnomah County, since, under the 'pre ferred' plan Multnomah County is limited to seven senators, but upon applying the constitutional formula Multnomah County is en titled to eight, plus one for the major fraction."

SALEM (API A man repre senting timber companies with holdings both east and west of the Cascade- said Wednesday a severance tax is unfair because it treats the good and bad tree alike. A severance' tax, Dan Goldy told the House Tax Committee, levies the same tax on the dead or marginal board that it does on the highly valued lumber. Goldy testified on a bill that would get. rid of the ad valorem principle of taxing timber the same as other property in eastern Oregon and put in its place the severance tax. The bill would put all timber severance tax into a pool and then parcel it out to individual coun ties on the basis of the percent- j age of timber based on assessed value within the county. Goldy said a declining cutting rate for timber could bring pres- sure either to , raise the sever ance tax or to boost the ad valorem tax on the land, which would be taxed separately. Goldy appealed for the same form of taxation on timber as oh other property and said that to do differently could result in double taxation. David T. Mason of Mason, Bruce & Girard, Portland consult ing forestry firm, said the present ad valorem tax procedure is the greatest obstacle in the way of sound forest management. Mason, whose firm manages large timber holdings held as in vestments, said the present meth od of timber taxation seriously threatens sustained yield manage ment of forests. Mason said the proposed sever ance bill would encourage sus tained yield cutting by taxing the soil as farm soil and by taxing the tree only once when it is cut. Mason said he would like to see the severance principle ap-, plied to the taxing of all timber in Oregon both east and west1 of the Cascades. Rep. W. 0. Kelsay, D-Roseburg, said a severance tax would de stroy the incentive for private timber owners to cut their own timber and this would drive up the price of government timber. The result of this, Kelsay said, would be to drive out of business the small timber operator the! man with no timber holdings of his own.
