Senate President Says Legislature Hardest Working Of Any Assembled Actress Antwr to Previous Ptml Editors note: The following re view ol the 1963 Oregon Leglsl lature was written expressly for UP! by Ben Musa, D-The Dalles, president of the Senate, liis view: "Sessions will continue tobe long." By BKN MUSA Written for United Press International SALEM (UPP- Having served in the Oregon Senate since first I in 1949 I believe tlie 1963 Legis lature has been the hardest work ing of any which has assembled. The 90 men and women of the Houso and Senate have worked long and hard in considering the legislation which came before them. They have given the public the best reception it has ever re ceived. Hearings have been more numerous than any previous scs sion, and even minor bills re ceived thorough consideration. As I have stated on previous occasions, it is just as important not to pass bad legislation as it is to pass good legislation. Bull here is where the casual (or the caustic) observer pays no heed: It takes just as much time to, consider (and finally determine) that a bill is bad as it does to determine the merits of a good bill. The news media (particularly in their editorial comments) alongj with many special interest groups, non essential bills a n d propos itions. However, if we would even on one single occasion disregard their petition or pica, we would immediately be castigated for our indifference and autocratic atti tude. As far as our accomplishments for this session, time will be the better judge. We have had a grave responsibility, even prior lol our convening: Increased spend ing for desired and probably nec essary needs: all within the framework of insufficient reve nues under present tax programs. If there are two things a legis lator does not like to do at least not both at the same time they are: 1. Increase taxes, and 2. Reduce accepted public serv ices. This was the burden and the heartache of this session. Herein lay our long hours of; work. I can truthfully say not one of the 90 legislators wanted to add to the taxpayers' burden unless! there was no other way out. Here came the clashes of philosophies. How to change the structure with out too greatly disturbing the ac cepted present system and formu las and still get more individuals into the fold of active direct taxpayers. The governor had a radical and ill-advised tax proposal be sub- say we spend too much time on'milted In his inaugural address; but when the chips were down and his bill was before the House there were only eight members of his party out of a membership of 29 who would vote (or this stupid and misnamed "net receipts" tax Whether the people will buy the final tax bill adopted, we will know within the next 90 days. We have been criticized in many places for a too-long session. Un less Oregon citizens want to be governed by political hacks, ses sions will continue to be long. There are those who want to de cide all policy matters and legis lation by party machine caucuses. Oregon has been pretty free from this .kind of money business. Sure we have differences ol opinion in our membership but they are honest ditierences. A legislator who thinks for himself is more to be trusted man a hand-picked lackey of a political ma c h i n e and collectively will make fewer bad judgments. Our state was founded and developed by the free thinkers and people of independent judgment. Let us face up to the reality of the times legislation covers morej area than 50 or 40 years ago, or even 20 or 10 years. To perform these tasks reasonably and prop- lerly takes time. Let us not make haste here and prove tne oia aa- age "Act in haste and repent in leisure." Fit CMUMD Continuing Our IGIDAIRE WEEK Only 6 More Days - Ends June 17th " PIS m& .

Tht Dryer Vern Owens' in reference to the long and un fortunate violent disagreement of the last few days of the session, this was attributable to one group of special lobbyist interests: The Board of Higher Education, in trying to upset the conclusions! of the joint House and Senate ap propriations committees. In my years down here I have never before witnessed so much uncle sir able political pressure exerted on so many individual legislators. It was an unfortunate situation and not becoming io an otherwise well respected administrative depart ment of our state. I have only one regret but , guess in partisan politics one should expect these things and that is when the governor calls us a do-nothing legislature and looks upon us with scorn as a "faceless group of 90 persons. We were more charitable to him My contacts with the other 89 members convinced me that each, one of them worked hard and dili-j gently for those things in which they believed. I respect their di vergent views and opinions, even if I may be in disagreement with some of them. I feel highly hon ored I was one of them! They have my thanks as well as my affection and my blessings.

Cascade Home Furnishings Congressmen Refuse JFK Tax Request WASHINGTON (UPD - The House Ways & Means Committee refused today to approve any part of President Kennedy's re quest to raise taxes on income from stock dividends by $460 million a year. The vote was 14-11. The committee also rpientpd 19.' -12 a proposal by Republicans that all taxpayers be given the same tax incentive to buy health insurance which is now available for taxpayers who are 65 or older. The voles were taken be hind closed doors as the commit tee continued work on Kennedy's 1 tax-reduction and revision pro gram. The administration pack age is designed to provide a net reduction of $10.4 billion in per sonal and corporation income tax es, staged over three years. Kennedy had urged that income from stock dividends be taxed at the same rale as wages, rents and intercut. At present, tlie first $30 in divi dends i $100 in tlie case of mar ried couples filing jointly! is ex empt from tax. Dividends re ceived by any taxpayer in excess of that amount are taxed at a rate which is four percentage points below his regular tax rate. I 12 13 U 15 I 16 17 18 19 110 Ti 12 ITT" .
