Wiley Callister IT'S YOUR LAW Baptist Pastor Tells Sunday Sermon Topic Overhanging Tree Branches Bud Garmo to Speak At Owyhee Church City Improvements LETTERS To ihe Editor State of Oregon BUREAU OF LABOR Salem 10, Oregon April 1, 1965 To the Editor: The bill to abolish the elective office of labor commissioner, HB 1855, has been introduced and passed by a House committee so fast that I thought you should know why. The bill is a direct result of the bitter battle and political maneu vers over revision of the appren ticeship law. It is a method of political retaliation against the labor commissioner for trying to straighten out a disruptive per sonnel problem and for support ing the proposals of an interim legislative committee to improve and expand the apprenticeship program. Government reorganization should not be legislated on the basis of spite and retaliation, or to gain partisan political advan tage. Please don’t confuse these political maneuvers with the calm and objective studies of consti tutional revision and government reorganization being conducted in the Constitutional Revision com mittee. In the midst of conflict between the pressures and interests of labor and management—and be tween unions—I am happy that the office of labor commissioner is responsible directly to the vot ers. When I do what is right, I have confidence that the voters will back me up. NORMAN O. NILSEN Commissioner of Labor Salem, Oregon Logan, Utah April 2, 1965 Nyssa Gate City Journal Nyssa, Oregon Dear Sirs: We thank you for being so prompt in sending our Journal to us each week while we have been in Logan for the past six months.

POULSEN ADRIAN ARB* FAMILIES THANK FIRE DEPARTMENT Members of two families in the Adrian area have asked the Jour nal to express their appreciation to Adrian volunteer firemen for their prompt and efficient ser vice. The grateful patrons are the Ed Sharp and Emery Cameron families. The firemen were recently sum moned to the Sharp farm in the Big Bend community where an outbuilding, straw and calf shed were ablaze. One end of the barn was charred, but the building was saved. On March 22 the volunteers an swered a call which took them to the Cameron farm south of Adrian where they saved the barn and a straw stack. The Camerons also express their appreciation to neighbors who assisted. \ We wish to commend the City of Nyssa for its splendid CLEAN-UP program to date. Cleaning streets, alleys, vacant lots, approaches to town and repainting fire hydrants have added mater ially to the appearance of our city, as well as making it more healthful and safe by removing fire hazards. We urge all citizens to cooperate by helping keep the city clean and unlittered. Also to carry out per sonal programs to improve residential and business property.

Dernedde That log-jam of bills in House committees we have heard so much about is breaking up as bills are beginning to flood the floor of the House for final debate and vote. Among a number of bills acted on by the House last week, the hotly debated inventory tax re peal bill, which has gained per haps greater statewide attention than any other measure this ses sion, gained approval 38-22. Now in Senate Taxation com mittee, the bill would repeal ihe tax on inventories, live stock and farm machinery over a five-year period and institute a 1 percent net business tax on all business, including profes sionals and farmers, to help off set lost revenue io local taxing districts now collecting the tax. Repeal of the tax is aimed at cutting unnatural seasonal unem ployment in the last two months of every year and removing the “economic damper” from the state’s business climate. Oregon inventories are taxed at a higher rate than most other states and assessed higher than any other form of Oregon property tax. Values of inventory would be frozen as of Jan. 1, 1965, so firms requiring inventories to do busi ness would not be required to take inventory each year nor re duce their stock at year’s end. The 1 percent net business tax excludes banks and public utilities and other firms now paying an 8 percent corporate excise tax. It would be deduct ible from other state taxes, but other state taxes would not be deductible from it. In its present form the measure faces stiff opposition in the Sen ate, but unliked features of the bill are expected to be amended. Another part of the House Re publican majority’s tax package received the lower chamber’s ap proval as the capital gains bill squeaked by with 31 votes. This bill provides for capital gains treatment of individual in- come to conform as nearly as possible to federal law, thus re- moving a roadblock to capital in- vestment in Oregon. The House also voted 44-18 to permit ihe legislature to meet and organize one month prior to the start of the session. Under the proposal, the organ izational meeting would begin on the second Monday in December of each even-numbered year for three days for the purposes of electing the House speaker and Senate president, making commit tee appointments, adopting rules and introducing bills. The measure is aimed primarily at speeding up the legislature by letting the Joint Ways and Means committee meet officially prior to the regular session. Ways and Means committee members re view and investigate budgets for the coming biennium. Ways and Means committee met "unofficially" for two weeks prior to the start of this session, and ihe successful re sults of that early start gave way to ihe passage of this pro posal. Additionally, there would be nothing to prevent committees from meeting during the period between the organizational gath ering and the start of the regular session. A memorial asking Congress to call a constitutional convention to consider changing the electoral votes within the states to an ap portioning formula also passed the House. The bill proposes that elec toral votes be apportioned with in each state in proportion to the popular vote. This would, sponsors say, prevent a presi dential candidate from receiv ing a large majority of electoral votes and a minority of the popular vote. Some 11 other states have already approved similar memorials. And for those who would like to see a reduction in the number of state employees, the House approved a bill to allow the de partment of motor vehicles to in stall a new computer to replace 197 employees. Jobs to be elimi nated are routine clerical posi tions in which there is a high turnover of personnel.
