IFYE Student Will Visit Malheur County Greetings from a calypso singer and difficulty under standing “English” English are just two of the expe riences from Trinidad-To bago that David Bonkowski.

Mrs. Kno the said. David Bonkowski participated in the inter national people to-people pro gram last year. He lived and worked with several host families during his stay in Trinidad-Tobago. Assisting in financing the exchange were the Oregon Bankers Association. Bureau of Edu cational and Cultural Affairs Foor Baalaeaa Climate May Influence Solona It has been said business climate is established by government, not by business. On the basis of that statement, a study showing Oregon’s business climate among the nation's poorest could be an influential factor during elections in 1976. Prepared by the nation's largest plant location consul tants. The Fantus Company of Chicago, the study ranks Oregon's business climate eighth from the bottom among the 48 contiguous states. Based on three distinct considerations, the Fantus analysis gives Oregon an excellent rating for living facilities, a good rating for population characteristics— but a falling grade in state legislative climate. Living facilities include expenditures for education, student-teacher ratio, avai lability of institutions of higher education, expendi tures for vocational education and recreation, parks and tourist facilities, doctors and hospitals. Population charac teristics include an examina tion of the selective service rejection rate, years of schooling, school attendance, percentage of voters, pro portion of owner-occupied homes, families earning less than $.1.000. union member ship and work stoppages. Legislative climate inclu des reliance on corporate taxes to fund state govern ment. per capita expendi tures for property taxes, public assistance, personal income taxes and local taxes, labor laws favorable to industry, unemplovment com pensation rate, workmen's compensation benefits, go vernmental units, their pay rolls and state and local government debt. Although the Fantus report tends to compound Oregon's competitive disadvantage with other states when it comes to attracting new business, it hasn't produced any shockwaves. Even before its release. Gov. Bob Straub was touring the state telling audiences Oregon is again open for business under new manage ment. And the State Depart ment of Economic Develop ment has had plenty of expc rience combatting the come- play-but-don't-stay reputa tion established during the' McCall administratyiin. Ed Whelan, director of economic development, is quick to point out business climate consists of many factors and expressed plea sure at the fact Oregon received good marks in two Thursday, January 29, 1976 out of three Fantus cate gories. He also is optimistic the state has a good chance of earning better grades in the legislative climate category. "Livability Isn't every thing." he said, "and there seems to be increasing concern for groceries on the table." And though Fantus people bend over backward to achieve objectivity on the basis of published reports, existing laws and established regulatory practices, the Go vernor's office is placing heavy subjective emphasis on a more friendly attitude toward business. Straub's 1975 legislative program appeared to embody much of Whelan’s concern for pay rolls and the groceries they buy. □¿spite the fact the most recent legislative session produced higher taxes on corporate income, higher costs for unemployment and workmen's compensation and a heavier personal tax burden on higher incomes. It also revealed a growing awareness of the desirability of finding a balance between livelihood and livability. The state's good marks in living facilities and popu lation characteristics doubt less has contributed to a con tinuing increase in manu facturing employment—in in spite of falling marks in legislative climate. Depart ment of Commerce figures furnished with the Fantus report show recent gains in manufacturing jobs—a cir cumstance shared by only a few states on the low end of general business climate ratings by Fantus. But there are other factors unmeasured by Fantus that still arc of major concern to the business community. Oregon's legislative stance on environmental, consumer and land use issues is considered by many a lia bility when it comes to attracting new business. Few thinking business people deny the need to address those issues But fewer still embrace the attitude Oregon must be first with the most or have more stringent controls than other parts of the country. One reason the Fantus study hasn't created more waves among business pro pie probably is attributable to the fact those who operate businesses probably like the state's livability as much as anyone else. And proof of this contention is their willingness to conduct their business under some condi tions less favorable perhaps than in other states. Nonetheless, most obser vers believe the Fantus analysis will have a direct bearing on the process that selects members to partici pate in the next regular biennial session of the Oregon Legislature. And those members likely will work to maintain a business climate that will sustain favorable livability. The state isn't the only government involved in es tablishing business climate Most businesses have many more problems coping with federal laws, regulations and red tape than they do with state and local government. A statement to which a typical Oregon businessman might respond: "That's true. But my State Legislator and my county commissioner and my city councilman are right here in Oregon with me "I'll take my chances with them first. If I'm unsuc cessful. maybe those people in Washington. □. C. will get the message." Lake Creek Camp Plans For Future Promoting outdoor recrea tion for youth and adults may best describe the agenda at the recent Lake Creek Board of Directors meeting in Burns, according to Catherin Fine, president.
