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.

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

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

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.

decade of the 19th century, a
black man played an important
role in the success of western
exploration and subsequent ex
pansion of our country. 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
