The modernize Oregon's deteriorating State Highway System. state legislature wants to increase this tax on gasoline from 7¢ to 9¢ a gallon. Highways are a perishable product, and 1,400 miles of our state highways are in urgent need of repair. It has been just 1¥2 years (November 1976) since the voters rejected a similar attempt to raise the tax on gasoline The Highway Fund, because of inflation and less than 1¢ a gallon.

Officia/1978 Primary Votenr' Pamphlet 19 STATE OF OREGON
MEASURE NO. 5 Argument in Opposition The more government expands, the more limited our freedom becomes! Tax increases expand government so the way to stop government increased power is to stop tax increases! In the past year taxes have been increased on property, wine and beer. Permit, license and user fees have increased. Liquor prices (taxes) have increased. And a very subtle, but very large increase in state income taxes for the middle income group has resulted from a change in the federal standard deduction. (Some married couples may be rapped for $170 additional). This gas tax increase must be defeated. While the gas tax is the fairest way of paying for highways, this need must be considered together with all the other governmental services. Priorities must be established. If additional monies are needed for roads, then gas taxes should be increased, but only after there is a corresponding dollar decrease in other taxes. The Transportation Department spent $2,000,000 in state and federal funds to build a parking lot for the Tri-Met Transit buses near the freeway. This in spite of a 2 to 1 vote of the people in 1974 not to use highway funds for mass transit. Some $100,000 is being spent to take movies of the Glenn Jackson Bridge construction on I-305 over the Columbia. Yet Jackson says we are desperately short of highway funds. Apparently not so short. that we can afford to take movies of the bridge named for Mr. Jackson. He should get his priorities straight. The Mt. Hood freeway withdrawal has given Portland $200,000,000 for streets. The Salem freeway withdrawal has made $30,000,000 available. Have you noticed that every time we turn down one of these "desperately" needed tax increases, the powers that be manage to find some "unexpected" or hidden funds? In the November General Election we will be voting on the $10 auto license increase. If both measures pass you will have a whopping 4 7% increase in your automobile taxes. And -remember that is forever! "Nuff said." Now you know why you should vote "no". Be sure you do. Submitted by: Les Bahr 2561 Brown Rd. NE, Salem, Oregon 97303

Where men or women may serve, but never govern. Where property and liberty are an extension of life and the protection thereof is inviolate. Where JUSTICE was established to prevent the arbitrary use of coercion by any or all. Where The Law of Our Land (Constitution) is a FORMAL CONTRACT by and between the people, individually and collectively, TO ABANDON FORCE AND LIVE BY REASON. Where REPUBLIC means A SOCIETY OF VOLUNTARY RELATIONSHIPS. Where IN GOD WE TRUST is our National Motto and A SPIRITUAL CIVILIZATION STILL PREVAILS. To live by what we know to be true, just and valid is the challenge we face as we look at the realities of SURVIVAL for our tomorrows. Oregons problems, like the rest of our Nation, would all seem to be political on the surface, however if you look deeper, most of our problems are really THEOLOGICAL. The lack of MORAL AND SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP and the failure to expound THE TRUTHS AND WISDOM OF GOD from the lecturns and pulpits of America must be held accountable for the immorality and sin that prevails throughout our State and Nation. "SURELY YOU KNOW THAT THE WICKED WILL NOT POSSESS GOD'S KINGDOM" (1 Corinthians 6: 9,10). The simple facts are; If our Pastors, Ministers, Priests and Rabbis were all doing their jobs to the fullest measure, THE CHURCHES WOULD BE FULl. AND THE PRISONS WOULD BE EMPTY. Crime and corruption would cease to be epidemic. INFLATION, "Congress counterfeiting money, to spend more secretly" is a depraved, immoral practice that should be halted at once.

TO THE PEOPLE OF POLK AND BENTON COUNITES: I am running for the District 34 house seat because: 1. The taxpayers need someone to represent them-for a change. 2. The area farmers need someone to work for them instead of against them. 3. Our people in the mills need someone who knows we need saw logs to make lumber-and to get a log, a tree must be cut down. 4. Our needy, our handicapped, and our elderly need someone who understands their problems and will help them help themselve& with pride and dignity. 5. We need a conservationist who will work to keep our land both beautiful and useful. 6. We need someone who has worked with programs that keep youth in school and produce functional citizens. 7. We must return our government to the people by keeping local decisions (and tax dollars) at the local level. 8. We need someone who understands that every dollar spent by government comes out of a taxpayer's pocket. I am running because I believe I can do a better job than our current representative. Sincerely, John Schoon

Fortunately, we do have a number of excellent new candidates to support. Emily Ashworth will be a good replacement for Straub.

The only thing I want to be an expert on is what you think. Call me at 485-6760." JOBS: "Unemployment is widespread, averaging more than 11%. I will protect existing jobs and aggressively recruit clean, liveable industry for Southwestern Oregon. Jobs, such as could be found in a thriving furniture industry, a fully-developed hake fishery, or expanding solar technology, etc., must be brought to life now." TIMBER RESOURCES: "Mismanagement and unbalanced policies have led to a timber supply crisis. We must move quickly to reforest and intensively manage these resources. Replanting, commercial thinning, and high-yield forest management can secure nature's beauty and jobs for the future." SOCIAL SECURITY: "The Social Security system is an insult to those who pay the bill and those who rely on it. We must act now to provide a dignified retirement at a price that working people can afford." HEALTH CARE: "Medical costs are skyrocketing out of reach. A national health security program must be designed to prevent the bureaucratic mess that plagues social security. Low-cost, adequate health care is possible, and we as Americans deserve it." TAXES: "Working people are being squeezed on one end by taxes, and the other by inflation. Elderly, and those on fixed incomes, are hurt the worst. Funding new programs does not necessarily solve problems. We need creative ideas that lead to solutions." WILDERNESS: "We need wilderness designation for unique areas, but we've got to use descretion in legislating these. Only a balanced approach between jobs and environment will guarantee the economic health of our communities as well." ENERGY: "Utility rates are soaring. We need a comprehensive plan to develop alternatives that are economically and environmentally sound. Conservation must be praetical and cost-effective." YOU CAN WIN. OR YOU CAN LOSE AGAIN.

Your vote to Allen Propst for Governor can reward you with the changes you want, regardless of who wins the election. In fact it coulcf well prevent a monopoly. Propst brought about many sorely needed changes in his previous cam~igns for Governor with his (COU!'fl&OOUS) attacks on the (powerful) but corrupt Administration. In leadership, Propst is a man of many accomplishments. When given a complex problem, he not only masters it, but comes up with a simple innovative solution which inspires others to follow his leadership. When it became obvious that Oregon's agriculture and its multi-million dollar grass seed industry was in peril, Pro~ came up with a unique but simple solution using aerial spraymg in a combustion-type burning process within a completely controlled burn area. I{ this is carried out, field burning will no longer be an environmental problem. Propst has also solved other environmental problems with his extensive knowledge of chemicals, economics and production cost of food and resources. He stresses protection not only of wildlife, but also the honey bee. His thirty years experience in maintaining this delicate balance in the production of food and timber resources was without one single dan:iage claim. Propst's leadership does not stop there, with his bac~und of military police secunty work, he accomplished the filing of memoranda, documents and letters on national security with the United States Congress. Action started at the Propst gate and culminated at the Watergate. Local officials were mvolved and Propst attempted to bring felonious prosecution against a District Attorney. He has also had personal experience with the conduct of the Oregon State Police as well as the Linn County Chief Deputy D.A. HiS written demands to both the Governor and former Governor were ignored in writing. Propst will seek a proper investigation into the facts which precluded the shooting of a police captain. He wants to know why another former Oregon State Policeman of the Narcotics Division took such action. Propst will take care that the laws be faithfully executed and wants to return the Judicial branch to the electorate. He also wants District Attorney's elected competitively.

Spent more than 30 years in the restau· rant business and trucking industry. Prior government service: None. Frank Franzone has been in the restaurant and trucking businesses for more than 33 years, both as an employee and as employer, giving him particular insight into the problems of both labor and management. His long experience will provide the neces sary administrative qualities to make meaningful improvements in the Labor Commissioner's post, especially in establishing closer communication with the Legislature and Governor's office. Frank Franzone pledges to improve the overall effectiveness of the Labor Department, emphasizing new, updated programs for the civil rights, apprenticeship training and wage and hour divisions. Included would be a new program to expand statewide job training, especially for women and minorities. He favors expanded training-employment in a wide range of new fields as well as the traditional skilled crafts. He also would place increased emphasis on educating employers to the economic benefits which accrue from participation in apprenticeship training programs. As Labor Commissioner, Frank Franzone would stress more effective utilization of available manpower to resolve employment discrimination complaints. He believes more complaints could be settled through careful and cautious conciliation rather than the present cumbersome practice using a drawn out hearings process. He favors new legislation which will shortstop injustices in discrimina tion cases. He favors establishing a closer working relationship with both houses of the Legislature in adopting laws which would strengthen the regulation of payment of wages, hours and working conditions and the employment of minors. He also would work in closer concert with private employment agencies to make their role more effective in assuring Oregon an adequate, efficient work force, able to meet new demands.
