RE-ELECT OSCAR BRATTON - YOUR PROVEN ADMINISTRATOR Foid for by Otcor traf ton Ontario i Prominent among the many subjects to be con sidered during the rapidly approaching 54th session of the Oregon Legislature will be those seeking to limit the size and scope of state government. Largely the result of a steadily swelling public ma nifestation. limiting govern ment at the state level may well be a concept whose so-called time has arrived when lawmakers next con vene in Salem. Even though most Legis lators who will act on the issues won't be chosen by voters until the November 2 General Election, several pieces of potential legislation already are being drafted and likely will be filed before the session begins. The popular term for legislation setting limits on government is Sunset Law. The Attorney General's office has several proposals involving present powers of boards and commissions deal ing with regulations and licensing in the areas of commerce and health. Tar gets are some 42 state agencies, which would be able to certify levels of competence without exclud ing practitioners from their fields. A mammoth 801-page bill involving largely the same issue is emerging from the Legislature's Interim Com mittee on Labor & Commerce. And the Committee on Revenue & School Finance is recommending a 15-year limit for property tax exemp tions. mination of 43 boards and commissions in the state's Department of Regulatory Agencies. Since its adoption, similar bills have been introduced in Minnesota. Florida. Louisiana. California Illinois and Alaska. Here in Oregon. Governor Bob Straub has expressed concern about our 300 or so boards end commissions and the-perhaps 3.000 persons appointed to serve on them. Noted for his determination to cut redtape and streamline state government, the Execu tive Department itself may press for some kind of Sunset legislation. But the most stringent limit-setting proposal yet to surface may well be a constitutional amendment fac ing Florida voters on No vember 2. An unequivocal dhance to say “no” to big government, that proposition would limit the number of fulltime state employes to one percent of the population—and the nunw ber of part time employes to 10 per cent of the fulltime limit! Given a strong likelihood of passage, the amendment would result in the firing of some 1,994 fulltime em ployes and 11,745 part time state workers. Hospitality Happens with Cheese The amendment's' author claims his state now has 86.846 fulltime state em ployes—1.023 per cent of Florda's 8,485,230 popula tion. A study revealed public payrolls in surveyed sta'es range roughly from one to three per cent of total population. Cheese come« in few colors-manv flavors and texture«. Sometimes the simplest things, like natural wholesome cheeses, are the best. The wide assortment arranged in beautiful cold, clean splendor is to be seen in dairy cases everywhere. There is a cheese for every need. They run the flavor and texture gamut all the way from mild monterey jack to the special occasion ones like brie and camembert, often called dessert cheeses. Cheddar cheese produced here in Oregon comes as mild, medium or sharp depending upon the length of time it is aged. Favorite for entrees are the hearty hard cheeses like romano, provolone and parmesan. In another class is cottage cheese in its many variations and ricotta cheese. The Fall Cheese Festival goes on through the entire season. To whet your appetite and increase your knowledge of the wonderful world of cheese, explore the dairy case and try some you may not have tasted. And don’t be surprised when one taste calls for another. Oregon's percentage is Although failing to match somewhere near 1.75 fulltime the Sunset description, they employes per 100 residents.
