A sparkling example of how the bureaucrats can louse things up was presented last Tuesday to the committee on Trade and Economic Development. The committee was told that $1 billion in jobs are gathering dust because bureaucrats can’t get it in gear to either approve or deny permits for projects. As everyone knows, any project of whatever size now requires the approval of scores of government agencies at all levels. It can get ridiculous. Several years ago. some kids in south Salem were ordered by City Hall to dismantle their tree house, because they failed to obtain a building permit. Any time you deal with government agencies, you are dealing with bureaucrats—because they run agencies. And most bureaucrats will do anything to avoid making a decision. So a billion dollars worth of jobs—which makes Governor Straub's economic program look like small potatoes—are stuffed into the pigeonholes of one agency after another. As frustrating as it is for a State Legislator to beat his head against the bureaucratic wall, there are rays of hope. The rays of hope are provided by the good bureaucrats, even if they are few and far between. One of those is H. C. "Hub" Saalfeld. who runs the state's Department of Veterans' Affairs. Since he became director of that department in 1953. Saalfeld has approved more than one billion dollars in home and farm loans to veterans. Most of those home loans were processed through his department within 15 days of the application. Farm loans take a little longer. Think of the contrast—while Oregon corporations and businessmen have to wait a year or longer to get their permits from the bureaucrats. Saalfeld and the Veterans' Department Staff process more than 1.2 million dollars of loans each working day. That's the kind of efficient state government we need., .and. in most cases, don't have now. The State of Oregon Veterans' Affairs Department is ranked number eight nationally among mongage originators. Hub Saalfeld says by the end of this year, the Depanment will be up in the top five or sis. In 1974, his depanment approved a whopping $304.354,000 in home and farm loans..or 94% of the applications received. Talk about helping Oregon’s economy! Last week the Legislature approved a bill increasing veterans' loan maximums to $35.000 from $28.500. Saalfeld estimates that measure will mean 1800 more applications for loans this year. He's already gearing up his staff to meet the expected deluge. That measure comes at the right time, too...as the average cost for a home is up to $34,500. Perhaps the bureaucrats avoiding decisions—and holding up the economy—should take a look in Hub Saalfeld's direction. They'd learn a lot about how State Government should work. State Senator Robert Smith. LETTER TO EDITOR Editor, The Journal: I read all these articles and letters from the proponants of E.P.A. against Idaho Power or anyone building dams on the rivers for fear it will cost a few fish or change the shore lines. I also read their tirades against a coal fired plant because of some smoke. They also fear a nuclear plant for some reason or other. Do you know what this all reminds me of? It reminds me of a man lost in the high mountains who chooses to freeze to death rather than build a wood fire because smoke might get in his eyes. Let’s stay out of the cold and let Idaho Power build a plant the cheapest way they can get electricity to us whether it be more dams, coal, or nuclear. Let’s get out of the way of progress and stay warm and have light. I don’t like cold or the darkness. I’ll pay a few fish, a changed shoreline, or a little smoke for heat and light. Yours truly, D. A. Erickson, Ontario.
