Benchmark Programs in Six Other States B. Oregon Progress Board Publications Notes References Foreword The development and publication of statistical indicators of the health status and well-being of populations has been increasing in the United States and internationally. These indicators still have less influence on health policy than the publication of data about leading economic indicators has on business decisions. However, indicators of health status are attracting attention among officials at all levels of government as well as among private-sector executives making decisions about such issues as where to locate or relocate operations. The state of Oregon in 1989 began to devise indicators of well-being, calling them benchmarks, as part of a long- term project to improve the economy of the state initiated by then-governor Neil Goldschmidt. The Oregon Progress Board (OPB), a public body whose members are leaders of the community, business, and government, manages the benchmarking process.

    James A. Redden SR #1245 United States District Court Oral History Project November 30, 1994 - January 14, 2002 JR: James Redden MO: Michael O’Rourke Tape 1, Side 1 1994 November 30 MO: This is Michael O’Rourke with the Oregon Historical Society. The date is November 30, 1994, and this is the beginning of an oral history with James Redden. Today’s interview is in his chambers at the courthouse. As I said, today I’d like to talk about your earliest memories. Maybe we could start off by having you tell me a little bit about your mother and father and who they were, maybe starting with your father. JR: My father had the same name, James A. Redden; he was the first, I’m the second, and my son, James A. Redden III, of course lives here in Portland. My father was born at the turn of the century, one of eleven children of Eugene Redden and Ellen Tyrone McQuade Redden. His family came from Ireland. I believe it would be my great-great-great-grandfather, and maybe great-great-great-great-grandfather—I’ve got some records of that at home, and I’ll try to clarify that for you—but he came from Ireland as they say before the potato famine; that is, there was a relatively large group of Irish that moved over here before the potato famine, many of them artisans, as was he. He was a coppersmith and then moved to Albany, New York. Then I believe it was my great-grandfather that moved from Albany to Springfield, Massachusetts, and my grandfathers were a series of Eugene Reddens, which was my grand- father’s name.

  • Governor Elmo Smith's Administration
    Oregon State Archives 800 Summer Street NE Salem, OR 97310 503-373-0701 ext. 1 sos.oregon.gov/archives GOVERNOR ELMO SMITH ADMINISTRATION February 1, 1956 to January 14, 1957 Biographical Note Elmo Everett Smith was born Nov. 19, 1909 near Grand Junction, Colorado, to Wilmer E. and Katie (Mohler) Smith. He had four sisters and two brothers. He grew up on an uncle's ranch near Wilder, Idaho, after his mother and father died when he was 10 and 13, respectively. After he worked his way through the College of Idaho and received a B.A. in History in 1932, he moved to Ontario, Oregon. In 1933 Smith married Dorothy Leininger of Fayette, Idaho. He established himself as a newspaper owner and publisher. Voters twice elected him Mayor of Ontario before World War II. He resigned as Mayor in 1943 to enlist in the navy. After two years in the South Pacific, where he commanded a naval air transport base, he returned to Ontario and again was elected mayor. In 1948 Smith was elected to the Oregon Senate, representing Grant, Harney and Malheur counties. By that time he had sold his Ontario newspaper and purchased the John Day Blue-Mountain Eagle and an interest in the Madras Pioneer. As senator, he pushed hard for an equitable weight-mile tax for highway usage, and secured its passage in the legislature and approval by the voters in a referendum, defeating the trucking and logging interests who opposed it. He chaired the Roads and Highways Committee after Paul Patterson became Governor. In 1955 he was elected President of the Senate.
