Legislators Expenses An initiative movement to limit Legislators’ expenses during sessions was announ ced in Portland this morn ing by a group called Ore gonians for a Citizens' Le gislature. The backers of the ini tiative movement are Sen. Robert F. Smith, R-Burns; Rep. Roger Martin, R-Clac- kamas County, Rep Stafford Hansell, R-Hermiston and Craig Berkman, a Republi can candidate for State Se nate District 5. Smith, who was unable to make the Portland meeting, issued a statement saying. "I firmly believe that the last session of the Oregon Legislature was unnecessa rily long and unreasonably expensive. Further,!believe that the extra month of this Special Session was generally unnecessary and extremely unpopular with the citizens of this state.” “In my opinion, the most effective way to shorten the session is to cut off legislators’ expenses--to amend ORS 171.072 so that legislators receive their full expense allowance, $30 per day, for a maximum of 150 days in a regular session and $30 per day, for a maxi mum of fifteen days in spe cial session,” Smith said. Smith said that members from both parties have an nounced recently that they will not seek re-election be cause of the lengthy ses sions Rep. Hansell one of the initiative backers an nounced earlier his decision not to run due to the in creased length in sessions. The 1973 Legislativesession lasted 180 days and was the longest in history. “I call on all Oregonians who are concerned with the rising cost of administering government and who cherish and who wish to preserve Oregons “citizen legislature’ to support this measure,” Smith said World’s Fairs When it comes to world’s fairs you can't beat the Pa cific Northwest. Since the turn of the cen tury there have been four of them The latest is the Expo '74 World’s Fair to be held in Spokane May 4 to November 3. Its theme is man’s con cern for the environment.

In 14 days, 1 hour and 12 minutes lawmakers consi dered 165 measures, enac ted 80--including everything they were assigned to ac complish--paid scant atten tion to election-year politic king and went home without spending an excessive amount of taxpayer dollars on them selves They failed to completely satisfy many proponents of an exceptionally large body of proposals. But they also refused to ignore the ne cessity of acting on those proposals--largely with acu men and relative dispatch. Some critics claim the Oregon system was subver ted during those hectic days and nights because every issue was not given suffi cient plublic airing. Others complain they abdicated their responsibility by re ferring several major ques tions to the voters in May and November elections this year. Defenders of the 57th Le gislature are quick to res pond that most issues were known well in advance, re searched by interim com mittees, aired before newly- assigned standing commit tees for nearly two weeks before the session actually convened and by seeking vo ter mandate clearly recog nized the importance of the people on the issues inques tion. Probably the biggest com plaint involves the scant ci tizen input on final com promises during the ses sion’s frantic closing hours. Coupled with the fact nearly all the major isses were resolved during this period, lawmakers may have adjour ned with a heavier-than- usual weight of responsibility for their actions on their own shoulders. True, it was a different kind of session It was fore told more than a half-year in advance. Major issues were well known for many months It was the first election-year special ses sion in more than a half- century And nearly every lawmaker was on the verge of actively compaigning to succeed himself or some one else in office Add to these factors the 57th Assembly had already met for a record 180-day regular session last year, was self conscious about the amount of legislationen- acted that had to be ti died up, had been subjected to a certain amount of cri- titcism for spending the time a nd money it did passing those laws m the fit st place, was smarting over 15 guber natorial vetoes--to say no thing of the fact most would rather tie home than cooped up in the Capitol fish bowl trying to straighten things out.
