M alheur County, Oregon E ntered at the postofi.ee at Nyssa, Oregon for transm ission th ro u g h the U nited S tates Mails, as a second class m atter, un d er the act of M arch 3, 1879 The Legislature and Politics M alheur county’s two legislators. Sen. Tony \ t u r r i , a R epublican, and Rep. Emil Stunz, a Democrat, are qual ified to serve th e people of eastern Oregon and the rest of th e state. Both m en are seeking inform ation about th e desires of the people before they go to Salem next m onth for the 49th legislative assembly. T hey are asking individuals and organizations for sug gestions and w ithout doubt they will comply w ith the w ishes of the m ajority. Mr. Stunz, by his past record has show n he definitely represents the people. Mr. ^ tu rri, a n O ntario attorney and life-long resident of M alheur county w ith a vast background of public service, has m any tim es dem onstrated his qualifications to serve Ore gon well. The G ate City Journal has long taken a dim view of new law s ju st for the sake of adding confusing legisla tion to O regon’s long list of entangled statutes. It is hop ed th a t those asking for legislation will consider the g re a ter need for im provem ent of existing laws rath er th an adding new ones that m ight be unw orkable. In spite of Republican dominance in the past, Oregon has a record of increasing centralized governm ent that the Dem ocratically controlled state adm inistration is in a position to halt. W hether or not the desired change of tren d will come about is a m atter that will be decided a fte r the legislature convenes. Bureaus have become the rule ra th e r than the exception in Orgon and some chang es m ight be refreshing providing political reprisals on both sides do not enter the picture to too great an extent. The two men from M alheur county are not politically controlled by their respective state parties and they have m any times indicated their interests are for the overall good of the state and its people. Taxation is another m atter that will most assuredly bring a m ultitude of headaches to the legislature. There are innum erable com m itm ents for less taxes and more services while budgets requests are expected to be far beyond the state ’s ability to raise funds. U nfortunately, some of O regon’s other 35 counties will not be represented by straight-thinking men who con sider the w elfare of the people and the state first and politics second.
