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.

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.

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.
