"Barrels of Money" One lobbyist was heard to say that he was going to search for an old gray mare and a wagon and start collecting. He figures if the proposed increases in income tax go into effect, the barrels will come in handy. It is too early to determine a definite trend the Ways and Means committee will be taking in considering monetary meas ures. However, if early actions continue, it will be difficult for agencies to pass a budget through this committee without substan tial cutbacks. Representative Stafford Han sell of Umatilla county, who has served on Ways and Means for several sessions and is ranking member in seniority, has said that while in past sessions he had been the “slash” expert and the conservative on the commit tee, this session he appears to be almost liberal. I am hopeful that this attitude will continue and not burn out because of pressure from agen cies and demands from special interest groups. The Ways and Means committee is one of the few controls we have on state government spending. Activity Slow in Legislature General sentiment of legislators these past days has been that of discontent and uneasiness. Acti vity has been slowed because of the lack of bills, and therefore the members, keyed for produc tion, are picking and arguing on small, inconsequential points. An apparently necessary bill which comes to the floor will re ceive much criticism and argu ment and result in 20 to 25 “no” votes. The reason seems to be that no bills of a really controver sial nature have yet been dis cussed by this hostile crowd. They are geared for battle and are only doing calisthenics. As bills come to the floor for third reading and final adoption, each legislator is faced with mak ing a decision, “yes” or “no.” Many times this is a very diffi cult decision for the answer is not as clear-cut as the vote must be. The areas of decision are gray rather than black and white. I am sure every legislator must basically consider the question under three separate subjects. Three Consideration* Given First, how does the bill affect his area? Second, how does the bill affect his state? Third, how does the bill affect his party? Af ter these basic considerations of one’s knowledge of area and state comes the wrestle with conscience and philosophy. It has been my observation that while most legislators represent their area well, under the first three divisions many fall short under the conscience category. Especially in the metropolitan areas I believe legislators think their individual decisions upon matters are lost in the volume and hodge-podge of the popula tion. When a city such as Portland sends 23 legislators to Salem, even though they may represent dis tricts within Multnomah county, there is a tendency by the public to address them as a group, and they may lose their identity as individuals voting upon invidi- dual measures. This is, it seems to me, an unhealthy situation which contributes to neglect and unconcern by those members. I hope that you will continue to contact me concerning legis lation which concerns and vitally affects you.

Another threat that had been voiced to get grain farmers in line with the government's proposal was to dump surplus grain on the market in such quantities as to depress the price to as low as $1 per bushel. Farm Bureau Plan* Hobson said the Farm Bureau vigorously opposes any move away from the market price sys tem and a return where there had been a previous departure If the farmer is to enjoy freedom he must accept competition, he said. In closing, he said, "We believe that the centralization of power in the federal government, the move to socialize America, the apathy of the American people toward this trend and the ap parent lack of responsibility on the part of individual citizens are among the greatest dangers threatening our republic and our system of private competitive en terprise. Freedom must not be sacrificed for a guaranteed se curity.” TWO EMERGENCY CASES TREATED AT HOSPITAL Keith Cannon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cannon, was treated Saturday at Malheur Memorial hospital for lacerations of the left cheek. The youth was injured when he fell from a roof. He was released following treatment. Palmer Norland, route 2, Par ma, was admitted to the hospital Sunday suffering from injuries he sustained in a one-car accident north of Adrian. His automobile went out of control on a curve and rolled into a barrow pit. His condition was reported as good Wednesday afternoon by hospital attendants.

AT NYSSA SCHOOL CAFETORIUM School Support Raise Seen Numerous bills have been in troduced increasing the basic school support to local districts. The amounts vary from $130 per census child to $150 per child. It is hard to predict what will be done, but it is certain that there will be an increase and that it will not be less than $130. In theory this should relieve property taxes somewhat, but 'I doubt that it will because the local school budgets go up more each year than the increased amount of basic school support. Much of this is due, of course, to increased enrollment, but other costs also increase. Property taxes are affected by the actions of school boards, and this should be borne in mind. I examined the records of the con struction of two almost identical schools. In one case, the cost was $9 34 a square foot, while the other cost $18.54 a square foot. Certainly the taxpayers in the latter district were treated more roughly than in the first district. Weed Elimination the Modern Way At Lower Cost for More Profitable Crops!
