Measure No. 1

Public Transportation System Employes Constitutional Amendment

Proposed 1by the Fifty-third Legislative Assembly by House Joint Reso­ lution No. 13, filed in the office of the Secretary of State on May 18, 1005, and referred to the people as provided by Section 1, Article XVII of the Constitution.

Explanation

By Committee Designated Pursuant to ORS 254.210 Under present Oregon Lew certain rights and benefits, particularly those falling in the area of pensions, earned by .employes working for private transit systems, would be jeopardized or destroyed by transfer of that system to public ownership or control. In some drcumstances the public agency would be without authority to protect those rights. Measure No. 1 requires public agencies rto "make fair and equitable atrangements to protect the interests of employes and retired employes" affected by the assumption of responsibility for operation of a public trans­ portation system by a governmental agency or subdivision. The measure authorizes the governmental body to make such arrangements as "may be necessary for the preservation of rights, privileges and benefits" which were .. in existence at the time of the take-over by the governmental agency. The measure would make possible the acquisition or assumption of responsibility for operation of public transportation systems by public agen­ cies· or municipal corporations without penalty to current employes or retired employes receiving pensions from those systems. The mea·sure would also bring the State of Oregon into compliance with a requirement of the Federal Mass Transportation Act of 1964 which provides as a condition of federal assistance to cities, counties and states for modern­ ization, expansion, or other improvements in their mass transportation facilities and services, that "It shall be a condition of any assistance under this Act that fair and equitable arrangements are made . . . to protect the interests of employes affected by such assistance." Such federal assistance may amount to two-thirds of the financing required to underwrite a transportation improvement program. Federal aid is available to governmental agencies, not only for transportation sys­ . terns operated by those agencies, but also when applying for such funds on behalf of a private carrier. Measure No. 1 does not transfer or require the transfer of ownership or control of private transportation systems to public agencies. It provides that, should such a transfer become necessary or advisable to meet the needs of the future, employes of affected transportation systems will be protected.

Measure No. 1 Public Transportation System Employes Constitutional Amendment Argument in Favor Submitted by Legislative Committee provided by Subsection (3) of ORS 255.421 The eonstitution of Oregon does not presently provide for the continuation of pension plans, job benefits, etc .. of transit employees whose transportation systems may be taken over by public agencies. Unless its statutes are amended, the rights of deserving employees and pensioners in such cases would be put in jeopardy, and the ability of our state to develop its metro­ politan and inter-city transit systems to meet the needs of the future will be hampered. Recognizing this situation, the 1965 Legislature passed a bill (by a 25-0 vote in the Senate and a 50-7 margin in the House) to refer to the people this constitutional amendment. It will require that public bodies taking over any public transportation system protect the pension rights and job benefits of all existing and retired employees of the old system. THIS MEASURE DOES NOT PROVIDE NEW BENEFITS FOR TRANSIT EMPLOYEES, NOR DOES IT TRANSFER THE OPERATIONS OF PRIVATE CARRIERS TO PUBLIC AGENCIES. The purpose of the measure is simply to make it possible for such a changeover to be effected should it be in the public interest to do so. With the population growth and mounting complexity of urban areas, it has be­ eome increasingly more diffkult for private carriers to expand their services and still maintain economical rate structures. The trend in most American metropolises is toward public subsidization or outright assumption of the responsibility to provide economical, efficient mass transportation service. Oregon should be prepared to meet this trend, without, at the same time, penalizing private carriers which can meet the demands of the future. PASSAGE OF MEASURE NO. 1 IS ESSENTIAL IF OREGON IS TO QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL MASS TRANSPORTATION AID FUNDS. The Federal Mass Transportation Act of 1964 provides for millions of dollars in federal aid funds to help cities, counties and states modernize and improve their mass transportation fadlities and servkes. However, a key provision of this Act is that "fair and equitable arrangements are made . . . to protect the interests of employees affected by such assistance." This means that-if local or state government is to qualify for such federal aid-it must insure that existing employee pensi'On rights, etc. are not jeopardized by the changeover from private to public control. The same applies for a public agency or political sub-division that requests aid on behalf of a PRIVATE CARRIER. Since Oregon taxpayers contribute to this federal aid program, they should have an interest in seeing that our state can share in its benefits-up to two­ thirds of the cost of a modernization or improvement program. MEASURE NO.1 PAVES THE WAY FOR SUCH ASSISTANCE-AND ITS RESULTING SAVINGS TO OREGON TAXPAYERS. VOTE #1 YES TO: e PROTECT THE EXISTING RIGHTS OF TRANSIT EMPLOYEES e PROVIDE IMPROVED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE FOR THE FUTURE e PERMIT OREGON TO SHARE IN FEDERAL AID FUNDS SENATOR VICTOR G. ATIYEH REPRESENTATIVE ROBERT F. SMITH REPRESENTATIVE EDWARD J. WHELAN 8 Official Voters' Pamphlet

Measure No. 1 PUblic Transportation System Employes Constitutional Amendment Argument in Favor Submitted by the Citizens Committee for Improved Transportation VOTE NO. 1 YES TO PROTECT TRANSIT EMPLOYEES' PENSIONS The 1965 Legislature voted overwhelmingly to refer to the people this measure to assure transit employees and deserving pensioners fair treatment in regard to pension rights, job benefits, etc. should their transportation systems be taken over by· public agencies. THIS MEASURE DOES NOT TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OR CON­ TROL OF PRIVATE CARRIERS TO PUBLIC AGENCIES-NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. It simply provides that where such a change becomes necessary-in order to provide efficient public service-the rights of active and retired employees will be protected. It should be emphasized that this measure gives NOTHING to a transit employee that he has not already earned. It merely amends certain statutes that could prohibit public agencies from continuing existing pension plans, etc.-even though these agencies were ready and willing to do so. THE NATIONAL TREND IS TOWARD THE PUBLIC OPERATION OF MASS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. Generally speaking, as cities grow, their need for expanded service over­ whelms the ability of the private carriers to provide it without a prohibitive increase in fares. For example, Portland is the only major city on the West Coast whose public transit service remains in private hands. As this trend continues, it becomes increasingly necessary for local gov­ ernment to subsidize or assume outright responsibility for providing eco­ nomic, efficient service to the public. Measure No. 1 paves the way for this­ WITHOUT penalizing existing transportation services that are privately operated. PASSAGE OF THIS MEASURE CAN MEAN SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS TO OREGON TAXPAYERS. Millions of dollars in federal aid are now available to help urban areas solve their present and future transportation problems. However, under the terms of the Federal Mass Transportation Act' of 1964, many Oregon transit systems could not qualify for such assistance. The Federal Act provides that any public agency that applies for fec;leral aid-up to two-thirds of the cost of an improvement or expansion program­ must first insure that employees of transit systems in question do not suffer because of the transfer from private to public control. The same applies should a city or county ask for federal funds ON BEHALF OF a private carrier. PASSAGE OF MEASURE NO. 1 ENTAILS NO INCREASE IN YOUR LOCAL OR STATE TAXES. Unless it is passed, however, we could be de­ nied federal aid for transportation improvements. IN SUCH CASES, ORE­ GONIANS WOULD HAVE TO FINANCE SUCH IMPROVEMENTS EN­ TIRELY OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS. • • • THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS HAVE PUBLICLY ENDORSED A "YES" VOTE ON MEASURE NO. 1: Republican Party of Oregon Democratic Party of Oregon Oregon AFL-CIO CITIZENS COMMITTEE FOR IMPROVED TRANSPORTATION Ward H.

Measure No. 2 State Bonds for Education Facilities Proposed by the Fifty-third Legislative Assembly by House Joint Reso­ lution No. 61, filed in the office of the Secretary of State on May 25, 1965, and referred to the people as provided by Section 1, Article XVII of the Constitution. E:xplana.tion By Committee Designated Pursuant to ORS 254.210 Measure No. 2 would provide one single authority for the state to issue general obligation bonds to help finance building projects both at institutions of higher education and at community colleges. r.t would abolish the distinction which now exists in the Oregon Constitu­ tion between bonds issued under Article XI-F(1), for building projects at state institutions of higher education only, and bonds issued under Article XI-G to finance building projects at both institutions of higher education and community colleges. Article XI-F(l} bonds are retired out of student fees and building revenues; Article XI-G bonds are retired out of general revenues. Revenues such as room rents and parking fees, and building fees col­ lected from all students, which presently are used to pay debt only on dormitories, student renters and other non-academic projects, could, at the discretion of the State Board of Higher Education, be made available as well to help finance projects such as classroom buildings, laboratories and libraries. Measure No. 2' would repeal Article XI-G, reducing the total present limit on state bonds for higher education and community colleges by $30 million. Bonds which already have been issued or authorized under Article XI-G would become an obligation of the newly combined bond fund. The limit on the amount of bonds which could be outstanding at any time for these purposes would be the same limit which now applies only to bonds under Article XI-F(1}: Three-fourths of one percent of the true cash value of all the taxable property in the state. This limit now is ap­ proximately $104,748,000. In the future, it will increase or decrease with the value of taxable property. At present, this is the situation (figures in millions): Under Article XI·F(l) Under Article XI-G Hi ..her Higher Community Education Only Education Colleges Totals Constitutional Limit ...... $104.7 $25.0 $5.0 $134.7 Bonds Authorized ...... 54.5 18.2 . 1.4 74.1 Remaining Capacity ...... $ 50.2 $ 6.8 $3.6 $ 60.6 If Measure No. 2 passes, this will be the situation: Under Article XI-F(l) AU Higher Education and Community College Buildings Constitutional Limit ...... $104.7 Bonds Authorized ...... 74.1 Remaining Capacity ...... $ 30.6 The cost in interest and principal of the $74,06-8,000 in bonds now out­ standing or authorized will be about $3,750,000 in each of the next three years. It is estimated that each year net income of about $·3,000,000 could be made available from dormitories and other revenue-producing projects, and about $1,500,000 will be available from student building fees. If income is insufficient to meet the total cost of all the bonds under the proposed amended Article XI-F(l), other state revenues would have to be used to pay the difference. Measure No. 2 does not specify what agency would decide which projects would be built with bond funds. Gurrent practice is for the Legislature to make this decision, within constitutional limits.

Measure No. 2

State Bonds for Education Facilities

Argument in Favor

Submitted by Legislative Committee provided by Subsection (3) of ORS 255.421

VOTE YES ON MEASURE NO. 2 TO USE SELF-LIQUIDATING BONDS FOR NEEDED CLASSROOMS, LIBRARIES

This measure will make possible the construction of more academic buildings such as classrooms, laboratories and libraries for community col­ leges, colleges, universities and OTI. At the same time it will reduce the total amount of bonds that can be issued by $30,000,000. These seemingly contradictory results will be possible by using bond authority differently than the Board of Higher Education has been willing to do under the present Article XI-F(1). The Board's policy has been to use this authority only for non-academic buildings such as athletic facilities, dormitories, health centers, par~ing lots and student centers. That is not where the needs are greatest. Requests of the Board of Higher Education itself and of ·community colleges for academic buildings ill the next two years are nearly four times as high as are their requests for non­ academic buildings.

A YES VOTE ON MEASURE NO. 2 WILL NOT RAISE YOUR TAXES Under this measure, bonds will only be issued if it appears they can be retired from non-tax sources. Most of the money will come from building revenues. Even laboratory, library and office buildings produce some revenue from provision made for space in research grants. The next biggest source ·of bond retirement funds are student fees. Additional funds come from other gifts and grants and earnings from -investments.

BETTER USE OF STUDENT FEES All students pay a building fee of $10 each term. These amount to about $1,500,000 a year. The Board of Higher Education has used these fees to pay interest and principal on Article XI-F(l) Bonds which were issued to con­ struct non-revenue-producing student health centers. It has also used them to help service bonds for dormitories and parking facilities used by only some students. A "yes" vote will tell the Board you expect these bonds and student fees to be used for the educational buildings the students need and not just for more dormitories and student centers.

Measure No. 2 State Bonds for Education Facilities Arguments in Opposition Submitted by Senator Ben Musa and Representative Don WilsOn Measure No. 2 would in effect reverse the vote of the people in 1960 which raised the constitutional limit on total bonds which could be issued to con­ struct self-supporting and self-liquidating buildings (dormitories, student cen­ ters, etc.). Taxpayers then were told emphatically that debt service on bonds would be met from non-tax funds and that construction would not be an ad­ ditional burden to taxpayers. Originally, this Measure was intended to encourage the Board of Higher Education to use these bonds to build classrooms, laboratories, libraries, faculty offices, etc., debt service to be met from general tax funds. The argu­ ment that student tuition, not general tax funds, would retire the bonds begs the question. Diverting student tuition from the operating budget to debt service would increase the amount of tax funds needed for the operating budget! The legislative Ways and Means Committee may have had good intentions to promote this proposition, but its introduction in the closing days of the session did not permit hearings and discussion such an important, profound matter should have received! This measure does not keep faith with the proposition sold to the voters in 1960. Vote NO on Ballot Measure No. 2. Submitted by State Board of Higher Education The Board of Higher Education unanimously encourages all voters to vote NO on Ballot Measure No. 2. The objectives of those who prepared the Measure are not accomplished and consequences of its passage would be detri~ ·· mental to orderly financing of educational buildings. The principal objective leading to this Measure was to satisfy the Board that it is not unethical to use money obtained· from sale of bonds under Article XI-F(l) of the Constitution for classrooms, libraries and laboratories, as well as for self-supporting buildings such as dormitories, student centers, etc. The Board has been unwilling to use Article XI-F(1) bonds for class­ rooms, libraries and laboratories because the Constitution requires the Board to declare a building "self-supporting and self-liquidating" before it is built from such money. Nothing in the Measure changes that requirement. The Measure authorizes the Board to claim a building to be self-supporting al­ though the building produces no revenue at all! There is no reason to believe that this amendment as specified in the Measure, which seems to authorize the Board to declare that black is white, will modify the Board's ethical judgement. A second objective leading to Ballot Measure No.2 was to combine the two bonding authorities, Articles XI-G and XI-F(l). The fact is that the Measure would not accomplish that objective. Rather, it would repeal Article XI-G and eliminate the $30 million bonding capacity which voters approved at urging of the Legislature and the Board in May, 1964. This means Measure No. 2, unfortunately, would actually remove the distinction in building bonds which voters decisively established only two years ago. With this reduced bonding capacity, current taxpayers would need to pay a disproportionately higher share of long-range building costs for future generations of students. The Resolution authorizing this Measure was passed during closing days of the 1965 Legislature. In the late rush, no public hearing was held; if it had, defects of Measure No. 2 could have been corrected. Your NO vote will help Oregon's colleges, universities and students. CHAS. R.

STATEMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF OREGON

We believe in PEOPLE, PROGRESS and ACTION.

Government at all levels belongs to people. It is or should be, always their servant.

What you as an American want to be done-what you need, in relation to the wants and needs of other Americans-is what your government exists to do, to help you in doing, or to protect you in your right to do.

Food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, help for the heavy laden and oppressed-jobs for the worker, education for the young, and a good quality to the living environment of all-these things Democrats will once again see to if chosen as your representatives in our democracy.

But progress for the people and peace for the world cannot be won with­ out action. Here is where Democrats excell-here is where their hearts and minds· join to redoubled efforts to help, to make our government work well for us.

Breatheable air and useable water can only come from the action of all of us through OUR government.

Lower interest rates and even fuller employment take action-both by individuals, business and all of us through government. As our incomes and buying power have increased we have created the need for action to curb the inflation of financ;iers and the market place. But this must be done while maintaining our economy in prosperity.

The answer of the other party in the past has been to produce depression not prosperity, platitudes not performance, poverty not plenty, scandal not honesty, shame not peace.

(Concluded on following page)

Action is needed. Only carping criticism is offered.

Social Security and Medical Care, bank deposit insurance, unemployment compensation, minimum wage guarantees, hydroelectric power at low cost for both private and public use--leadership in the world, conservation of our resources, freedom for individuals, the strength to achieve and maintain peace, dignity and respect for each creature of God subject to man's system of law and order-all these have come through action in the American nation spearheaded by the Democratic Party.

The other party as a party, has satisfied itself with belittling and criticizing while the work of progress was afoot an<;l then, perhaps, to saying "Me~too" after the controversies of change had been blurred by the accept­ ance of the programs for progress by the people.

Even now the candidates of the other party prate about the high rates of interest at the bank, or of inflating costs of commodities. Yet all the while they criticize efforts of others to cure and lessen these ills. They attack the ideas for action. But they do not suggest alternatives. They will not cooperate in efforts to solve the problems of the housing and lumber industry.

Criticism without alternatives for action is sterile. It produces confusion and weakens the will of the country-from the local level to the international scene. Carping provides no solutions. Prating of Gloom and Doom do not produce the greatness, needed in these times.

The other party will not act for progress. Democrats have and will.

STATEMENT OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE VOTERS' PAMPHLET

"'·Republican State Committee Candidates offered to Oregon voters in this election by the Republican Party are among the most able, experienced and personally attractive it has been our privilege to recommend. REPUBLICAN RECORD They each share a genuine concern for the future of Oregon, our Nation and the fate of the free world. Republican candidates work for time-honored principles-for HUMAN VALUES, which emphasize the rights, freedoms and opportunities of the individual, and for fiscal responsibility, which recog­ nizes that no dollar can be spent by government which has not first been taken from the citizens. They demonstrate a COMPASS ION FOR THE PEOPLE, which expresses its concern through programs which provide help and rehabilitation for those unable to care for themselves. Under Republican leadership in the executive and legislative branches of our state government, Oregon advanced far beyond other states in civil rights legislation, education, fair employment practices, park and highway develop­ ment, workmen's compensation benefits, property tax relief and a host of other areas. FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP In its Congressional delegation, Oregon in the last few years has seen its representation dwindle to a single Republican among the six. During these same years, Oregon has seen its allocations of federal defense funds dwindle. We have witnessed the shameful feuding of our Democratic Senators· with' exchanges of vitriolic letters made public. It took three years to confirm the U. S. Attorney for Oregon, and after 10 months a federal judgeship remains vacant, while court congestion increases. The strength and benefits of this nation's two-party system can best be attained by electing more Republicans to represent us in Washington, D. C. There is ample reason to elect Republicans. This administration has mis­ calculated the Viet Nam engagement time and again; issuing falsely optimistic statements, that the war was soon to be won. Inflation and tight-money policies have struck hard, shutting down lumber mills and other forest products plants. The damage to Oregon's economy in jobs lost, personal suffering and housing cutbacks will be felt for a long time to come, and the full effect is not yet here. The timidity, on the one hand, in moving into the air line strike and the hypocrisy, on the other, in waiving guidelines does no credit to the national administration, nor does · the unseemly rush to television cameras to announce a strike settlement before participating parties could reach their people.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES In these difficult times, times of critical decisions, state and national gov­ ernments should be in the hands of those most concerned with the best and most efficient use of the tax dollar: clearly the-candidates offered by the Repub1ican Party. As everyone is hurt by inflation, Congress and our state legislature should be in the hands of those who will not tolerate waste, or duplication, or maladministration: clearly the candidates offered by the Republican Party. MARK HATFIELD, TOM McCALL, and (depending upon your Con­ gressional District), WENDELL WYATT, or EVERETT THOREN, or LYLE DEAN, or JOHN DELLENBACK-are the candidates at the top of your ballot; but their competence, convictions, vigor, and experience are symbolic of Repul:llicans on every line of your ballot. YOU CAN VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS WITH CONFIDENCE

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM The 1966 Republican State. Convention at Coos Bay, July 23, detailed our position on principles and issues: INFLATION-On this critical issue the delegates pointed out that inflation "seriously affects ALL Americans, particularly those living on fixed incomes and pensions." In July, Republicans had the foresight to prophesy, "It (infla- · tion) threatens a serious recession in Oregon's basic lumber and plywood industry." The cause?-"in large part ... the present national administra­ tion's irresponsible economic policies." The cure?-"an immediate, material cut in federal non-defense spending." VIETNAM-UNLIKE the platform on Viet Nam adopted by the Demo­ cratic Party leadership, the 1966 Republican Convention delegates stated: "We urge the administration to be candid with the American people, avoiding the false statements of optimism which have characterized progress reports during the past five years." "We say to Hanoi, Peking, and Moscow, that the American people will not stand still for a barbaric miscarriage of justice in the trial and execution of Americans." "We do not endorse global commitments in blank-check fashion, but insist that congressional consultation and action be a part of this nation's principles." FEDERAL TAXATION-The delegates to the REPUBLICAN Convention objected to a level of federal over-taxation which makes it difficult or impossible for the injlividual states and counties to levy sufficient taxes to meet their normal ne'eds. (Concluded on following page) (This information furnished by Republican State Central Committee; Don Hodel, Chairman; Mrs. Theodore L. Shay, Secretary) GeneTal Election, Novembe'l' 8, 1966 25

RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER-This resolution included these es­ sential statements: "The attempt to gain objectives by riot, violent demonstrations and mob rule is still unlawful and can only result in the breakdown of our democratic society and give aid and comfort to those who would destroy it." "We believe that freedom can be maintained only under law and that irresponsible defiance of authority leads to anarchy and the eventual loss of all freedom." OTHER ISSUES-The 1966 REPUBLICAN Convention also called for­ "a thorough revision of the Oregon Corrupt Practices Act, particularly to permit full and free participation by teachers, public board members and public employees" in the political process; State Constitutional revision; ratification of the Presidential Continuity Constitutional Amendment; "full and orderly development of Oregon's outdoor recreational resources"; and conferring upon the State Sanitary Authority "greater and more definitive powers to effect both air and water pollution controls throughout the state."; and enactment of "an administratively sound, comprehensive apprenticeship bill."

Democrat ROBERT B. DUNCAN For United States Senator

ROBERT B. DUNCAN IS • The only candidate for the Senate with both State and National Experience. • A constant exponent of American foreign policy, set forth by four Presidents, representing both political parties, of containing Communist aggression on three continents, while providing economic assistance to build the economies of both war-shattered and developing nations. (Concluded on following page) ------(This information furnished by Democratic Party of Oregon; Senator Edward N. Fadeley, Chairman; Don Orton, Secretary) General Election, November 8, 1966 29

Bob Duncan is running for the Senate, not to satisfy personal ambition or as a stepping stone to higher office. He left a reasonably secure Congressional seat because he feels that this is a critical period in the history of the United States and of the free world. With voices in both parties raised in opposition to our position in Vietnam, Duncan spoke out vigorously in support of our commitment to halt the Communist aggression in Southeast Asia. He has visited South Vietnam. He knows and supports the social, economic, and political reforms necessary to success in that area. Bob Duncan has behind him ten years of solid legislative achievement and public service. Elected three times to the Oregon House of Representatives, he was Speaker for two consecutive terms, an honor that has come to no other man. President Kennedy appointed Duncan to the Advisory Committee on Inter-Governmental Relations and as a Congressional advisor to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. He serves on the United States-Canadian Interparliamentary Council. Elected first to Congress in 1962 and overwhelmingly re-elected in 1964, he distinguished himself by being chosen as one of four outstanding fresh­ man Congressmen by a poll of newsmen, and by serving on the Agriculture and Interior Committees. Last year he was named to a coveted seat on the powerful Appropriations Committee. Congressman Duncan has been a strong supporter of flood control, recla­ mation and conservation measures, and there has been more activity in his district than in almost any other. He has fought to preserve the integrity of the 0 & C forest and the distribution of revenues therefrom. From his position on the Appropriations Committee, he has exercised leadership in solving the nation's health problems; in securing funds to combat water and air pollution; strongly supported Medicare and education; was in­ strumental in preserving Camp White and in the passage of box-car legislation. He has earnerl a reputation for economy and efficiency in government and for fairness and effectiveness. He commands respect from the Admin­ istration and from Congressmen and Senators from both parties because he stands up for what he believes without forgetting that cooperation, not disagreement, gets things done for Oregon. Along with his attention to national and international problems, Duncan has been a real representative in Washington for each individual constituent. He can easily be reached and no problem is too small to receive his attention. Congressman Duncan is a resident of Medford. He and his wife, Marijane, have seven children. He has worked all his life-in the corn fields of Illinois, the gold mines of Alaska, as a seaman in the Merchant Marine, in a bank in Chicago, as an insurance adjuster, and as a lawyer and public servant. He was a Naval aviator during World War II and is still a member of the Naval Reserve. He was educated at Illinois Wesleyan University, the Uni­ versity of Alaska, took correspondence courses from California, and has a law degree from Michigan. Congressman Duncan believes the government should do for the people only what they cannot so well do for themselves; that government should function efficiently and economically. He believes that the greatest virtue in a public servant is to work untiringly and with integrity to accomplish the most good for the most number. Duncan's public service is a testament to this belief. He has continued his record of "Getting things done."

Republican MARK HATFIELD For lJnited States Senator

DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS­ PUT OREGON'S MARK ON CAPITOL HILL President Dwight D. Eisenhower said: "During my last two years in the Presidency I had the opportunity to appraise Governor Hatfield's ability as an administrator, and to watch his rise in public esteem among citizens of this nation far beyond the borders of Oregon. He has been courageous and immensely competent, and I believe his election would bring to the Senate of the United States the kind of character, intelligence, youthful vigor, and selfless dedication from which all Americans would benefit."

COURAGE and CONVICTION Mark Hatfield has proved he will fight for what he believes. Whether under fire at Iwo Jima, or dealing with the 1962 Columbus Day storm, or the 1964 Christmas Week floods, or in standing firm on current issues, Governor Hatfield has shown himself a man of action, courage and sincere conviction. (Concluded on following page)

Governor Hatfield, despite tremendous pressures from all sides, has shown firmness in taking a forthright stand on American policy in Southeast Asia. He believes that the Administration has not been candid with the American people in conducting an undeclared war in Vietnam and yet the Administra­ tion seeks "blank check" authority. He believes that we must give full and unqualified support to our fighting men in Viet Nam. It is not in our history to fail and we cannot do so now. There can be no unilateral withdrawal of American troops. As United States Senator Mark Hatfield will do his utmost to bring about an honorable and early peace.

A MAN WHO WILL STAND ON HIS RECORD During Govemor Hatfield's eight years in office Oregon's economy has boomed: 180,000 NEW JOBS 640 NEW INDUSTRIES AND EXPANSIONS 88'% MORE EXPORTS TOURIST REVENUES UP $74,000,000

The record also shows Oregon has become a better place to live: 10 COMMUNITY COLLEGES-A NEW SYSTEM 74% FEWER SCHOOL DROPOUTS 24 NEW STATE PARKS NATION'S FINEST HIGHWAY SYSTEM

The JOHNSON RECESSION has started in Oregon NOW. To combat it Mark Hatfield pledges to: FIGHT INFLATION BY REDUCING UNNECESSARY FEDERAL SPENDING REVERSE THE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION'S TIGHT MONEY- HIGH INTEREST RATE POLICIES CONTINUE TO ATTRACT NEW INDUSTRY TO OREGON FIGHT TO SAVE OREGON'S WATER FIGHT TO PROTECT OREGON'S TIMBER INDUSTRY FIGHT TO PROTECT OREGON'S FISHING RESOURCE

Democrat ROBERT W. (BOB) STRAUB For Governor

KEEP OREGON THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE ELECT BOB STRAUB GOVERNOR

(Concluded on following page)

(This information furnished by Democratic Party of Oregon; Senator Edward N. Fadeley, Chairman; Don Orton, Secretary) General Election, November 8, 1966 35

Let's face it.

We are about to HIRE a new Governor of Oregon.

And pay him over $30,000.00 a year for the next four years.

That's a lot of money-but we don't pay a Governor just to make speeches or cut ribbons at grand openings.

We're going to hire a man to manage a big Multi-Million-Dollar concern­ THE STATE OF OREGON.

There are two candidates for this job. On November the 8th, we will select one, or the other.

HERE'S WHY BOB STRAUB IS THE BETTER CHOICE: • He knows business, and he knows government-and it takes both kinds of knowledge to really run a Governor's office. Straub has a 20-year back­ ground as a successful businessman and rancher. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College with a master's degree in business administration. He has served as an Oregon State Senator and as a Lane County Com­ missioner. In 1964, we hired Bob Straub as Oregon State Treasurer.

• He knows how to handle big jobs. He said he would get Oregon's money "out of the mattress" and into action-and he did! Since taking office as State Treasurer, Bob Straub has increased earnings on State funds by more than $1,500,000.00-a 1%-Million-Dollar saving to Oregon taxpayers!

• Oregon is the best place to live-Bob Straub believes it, and backs up his belief with action to KEEP Oregon the best place to live. He's not satisfied with talk about pollution-he's doing something about it! And he's doing something about saving the natural beauty of Oregon's beaches, rivers, and other priceless recreational resources.

BOB STRAUB HAS WHAT IT TAKES. LET'S HIRE HIM.

ELECT BOB STRAUB, DEMOCRAT, GOVERNOR.

Bob Straub is 46 years old, married, has six children, and is a veteran of World War II.

CROSS pledges to push through Scoggins Dam (Tualatin Valley); South Jetty (Tillamook); Polk County reclamation; Clackamas County flood control. CROSS favors more people-to-people foreign assistance; less money. MONEY, TAXES, AND THE ECONOMY • CROSS favors return to states a percentage of Federal Income tax to finance general education and relieve property tax pressure. • CROSS favors an excess war profits tax; opposes a federal income tax increase. • CROSS sees the growing threat to Oregon business in cheap Southern labor costs unfairly taking our markets. CROSS criticizes opponent's nega­ tive vote to "subsidize by law" Southern business power by anti-union section of Taft-Hartley Act. In plywood, furniture, fruit and fish processing and clothing the South is driving Oregon to the wall dollar by dollar.

Annual rates of 36% are permitted by state charter systems. Companies are non-competi­ tive, monopolistic. "Drain" leaves billions of dollars of goods per year on shelves of small business.
