Thursday, January 25, 1973 LEGISLATIVE REPORT By Rep. D.E. (Denny) Jones There have been over 400 bill» introduced so far and many to come. One appropriation bill, to pay for part of the cost of | the 1973 Legislature, has passed the House. Perhaps the three bills that are causing the most discussion are the Governor's school fi nance proposal, the land use planning bills and the Equal Rights Amendment. I In regard to the Governor’s | tax proposal, the results of a i poll of legislators in the form of a written questionnaire sent | out about a month ago showed a majority opposed to the plan. However, this may change at any time. The chart that was prepared out of the Governor’s office has some mistakes in it, and I understand it is being reprinted. I am still opposed to the plan for the same rea sons 1 have mentioned many times. We will still have a property tax. We will still have to have our force of office help at the county level. We still don’t know what it will cost us as individuals through the raise in income tax and also the bu siness tax. I am still working on my comparison charts of the three programs The Go vernor’s, the Interim Commit tee's, and the Stafford Hansell plan. The land use planning bills introduced by Senator McPher son will take lots of work be fore I am able to understand exactly how they will affect my district. At present they don’t appear to be acceptable to Eas tern Oregon. I am opposed to the Equal Rights Amendment. I feel that the women in general are giv ing away too much. 1 would like to see them remain women. However, I would support le gislation on individual issues to correct discrimination as far as salaries or jobs are concerned, or problems of this nature. We have a real good, hard working Agriculture and Na tural Resources Committee. Most of the agriculture and livestock oriented bills I will try to get introduced through the Agriculture Committee. 1 think this is a better and more effective way to do it. An appropriation bill of$59,- 600.00 that would have funded a program of the Council of State Governments that has been in effect but has apparently not produced much benefit was de feated by a vote of 29 ayes and 28 no. (Jones, No). Immediately Rep. Keith Skelton movedto re consider. If he doesn't with draw his motion it will be voted on Monday. Governor McCall is also pushing hard for a constituí tonal amendment to break into the Highway Trust Fund for pur poses of helping fund the mass transit program. I am also opposed to this move, as we don't appear to have enough money to keep up with our high way needs as they are now. This session the Legislature has a toll free number that anyone throughout the state can call for legislative information. The number is 1-800-452-0290.

Mr. and Mrs. Owen Harlan were Friday dinner guests in the if First, I’d like to make a per sonal comment. Many times I've criticized the legislators for seeming to know more than the law allows. After being in the House for more than ten days, I’ve learned that great numbers of them are really more knowledgeable than the average person on the outside. 1 find it difficult to keep up with them in many instances, especially on finances. So far there lias been little action on the floor, but it takes a couple of weeks for bills to pass through the various com mittees. Every bill is checked and rechecked again before it is placed before the House or Senate. Of course, the greatest point of interest to date is money. I listened to the Governor’s Budget Message and am very frank to admit that I don’t un derstand as much of it as f Gene Honey home. Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Buell Clement of New Plymouth visited Mr. and Mrs. Gene Honey and later they all went for a drive ending at the Cle ment’s home for an evening sup per before bringing the Honeys to their home. perhaps should. I’m not asha med of this fact because very few of those around me are aware of the full impact it will have on various districts. From all I can observe, the counties in District 9 will take a licking. It’s very possible that many counties will have to raise lo cal taxes to take the place of the sales tax revenue to re place the inventory tax phase out. I know that Dave Little and Warren Brown will join me in keeping an eve on what's taking place. Education will come to the fore in the near future. Here again, small schools will I»-apt to be hurt in the financial pinch. When some districts gain, others will probably lose. When you rob Peter to pay Paul. I want to be certain that I’m not portraying Peter. So, in this tax reduction bu siness, you can’t take the cash out of the till and then put more back without pit king up some from the outside. The Revenue Sharing Plan to Counties and Cities is not intended to re place tax monies. It’s not to lie used for education and it’s not to be used for paying debts. Enrivonmental problems are starting to come to Hie fore. Nobody wants to spend money or raise taxes, yet I’m continually Malheur Historical Society Meets Tonight Blacks in the Early West” is the topic of the second in an eight part series of history programs sponsored jointly by the Malheur Country Histori cal Society and Treasure Val ley Community College.

A black slave named York was the de light of Indians who thought he had been burned. They rubbed his skin to see if the black would come off and were amazed when it wouldn’t. Many blacks served as hands on trail drives and some were foremen. Bose lckard was one such supervisor who rode the Gooifriight-Loving trail. The early settlement of the West saw G.W. Bush forced out of the Oregon Territory to the area of Tumwater, Washington and later a Wack namedGeorge Washington established Cen- trailia. Washington. The Idaho legislature, during the recon struction days, had black . ■ presentatives. Bull dogging, a favorite rodeo event of to day, was invented by a black cowboy, Bill Pickett. He added a tw ist to the event by biting down on the steer’s nose after the animal was thrown thus freeing his hands. « ^iTiì lìUì M îin 1 I ■ ZT »■■■ bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbs NEWELL HEIGHTS ITEMS ■ ■ ■ BY DALE WITT ■ ■ ■ PHONE 372-2183 ■ ■ ■ NEWELL HEIGHTS - Mrs. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Pratt,Sr. Marie Moore and Mrs. Tina and family.
