Wilson Stores Complete 52 Years Of Nyssa Service Neither the house, the senate nor the governor were happy with the results. Speaker of the House Clarence Barton, D-Coquille said, “Success of the session can be measured to a considerable degree in the defeat of attempts to pass legisla tion inimical to the people, speci fically the constant attempt to shift the burden to lower income groups.” Governor Mark Hatfield said, “Sixty-one percent of my recom mendations were passed. It is unfortunate basic tax reform was merely put off another day.” Attempt to Broaden Tax Base The senate attempted to broad en the tax base and bring in a segment of the lower income groups to aid in the payment of increased amounts needed for schools. Efforts to pass a cigaret tax and a net receipts tax fell by the wayside. Voters will have an op portunity to vote on a measure to remove the death penalty from the constitution and for a $30 million bond issue for higher education buildings. The last day of the session, the house and senate squabbled over bills that would move all tuber culosis patients to Salem and on salaries for higher education offi cials. The house had been adamant on the salary issue but it ended with a compromise with both bodies giving some. The TB patients will all be transferred to Salem in spite of being bitterly opposed by the Multnomah delegation. Other Bills Passed The session provided for a de partment of commerce, as re quested by the governor, passed a package of bills to control sex offenders and obscenity, enacted a new truck tax bill and one to control the wild claims of real estate development planners. NUMBER 23 Two Evening Performances Set ♦ for Annual Nyssa Rodeo ♦ Rodeo Parade Route Given by Chairman The Oregon legislative session ended early Tuesday morn ing after using 141 days to find approximately $60 million in new revenue needed to balance the budget and provide for two years of state operations. Aid to local school districts through increase in the basic school fund was provided, higher education got the greater ♦part of their requests and a bill was passed to give some relief to property owners over 65 years of age. 10 Cents Per Copy (Continued on Page 10) At the May 29 meeting of Nyssa Toastmasters, Topicmaster Gene Chester selected “Summer Vaca tion When I Was a Kid” as speech topic.
