Without the chop- pers,' the whole study would have been slowed,to a walk. And a doff of the derby should go to those helicopter pilots who flew the treacherous terrain with aplomb. Eight eamps were scattered along a 90-mile stretch of the Snake from the base of Hell’s Canyon Dam to the mouth of the Grand Ronde River. Each camp was assigned a different in vestigation to I m - conducted daily as the river was systematically lowered from a stable flow of 27,000 cubic feet per second to a summertime low of 5,000 cfs. As the Snake lowered each24 hour period for five days, the crews checked such things as white water boating, fishability, what happens to the fish and what they eat and how many get stran ded as the water goes down, what happens to recreational power boating, what occurs in the way of temperature changes, time of water travel, the aquatic animal life, the spawning beds and so on. Two large sturgeon--one 8’ 2” and the other 7’ 11"—were tagged and released, other spe cies caught included rainbow trout, steelhead, Dolly Vardens, small mouth bass, channel cat, bullheads, squawfish, suckers and carp.

If this plan is so air tight and sure, why did the Department of Revenue andSenate Tax Com mittee find a $53 million error two weeks after the bill was re ferred fjom the House of Re presentatives? I am certainly concerned in my district and especially my little old home school district • 12. We will just be short— we woa’t have enough money to fun on «inter this program, and there isn’t any provisions for us to get any more. I could also cite an example of the Crane School over there, which has a $2200 per pupil cost and, as I understand, especially after this year, there won’t be any provisions matte to make up the difference. 1 think these are things that should be noted in our particular case--we have $690 per pupil in deductible receipts, according to their fi gures, and tins money is money that is ours, and part of it is a carry-over from last year, which is necessary to begin our next school year with. So they are taking these away from us, therefore making th«- amount of money that we’ll get from the State less than we are entit led to. It leaves us with a de ficit amount at the end. I’d like to point out again that we do lose local control, even though they keep making this a point and keep stating that we will re tain local control. Again, a short comment In regard to the school finance bill. The opposition is organi zed to fight this bill--there are 28 of us at this time. It seems like we were short some when the vote was taken on the floor, but there are quite a few people that have changed their minds.

I). E. (Denny) Jone« The big news now Is the school finance plan, HB 2004. A group of us originally opposed to the bill, and this group has grown since, are opposing the ballot title and have filed a petition for this. At the present time we haven't had a Supreme Court ruling yet but we expect this on Monday. However, It's simi lar to a decision that was made some time back on a ballot measure, and we feel optimis tic about this. The ballot title will explain to the people of Oregon exactly what they're Voting on. As I am opposed to this bill, I will state some of the arguments to consider in opposition to It: 1 Probable luas of local control for schools (with 95? funding), 2. Creation of a poor business climate, 3. Highest Income tax In the nation, 4. One of the highest corporation taxes In the nation, 5. State-wide property tax ($7.50 with a maxi mum of $10.00 per $1,000 true cash value); 6. New business profits tax, 7. No incentive for economy in government, 8. Too heavy a reliance on one major tax (Income). The in- Eome tax will have to be raised again If our economy drops be low the level of today. 9. Projections of Revenue and Budgeting beyond this biennium ire subject to serious ques tioning. 10. Inequalities in dU- tribution ($900 grants for some districts, $1,200 for others), 11. Elimination of tax on farm equipment (Why not construc tion equipment or logging equip ment?); 12. Municipal over burden, 10?, 13. Unrestric ted $2.00 per $1,000 for school board whims, without a vote of the people; 14. Without a sales tax or a school tax on homes, Oregon will be a haven for out-of-state retirees. (They pay little or no property taxes and Income taxes); 15. For those who are renters, they will be paying 35? more in Income taxes to receive a 9? rebate in rent, 16.
