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.
