Today the students test the candidates’ persuasiveness The Candidates Fair at North Salem has been a successful educational program for a number of years And it ends with mock ballot on Friday The students listened to all of the main candidates from both parties — the Democrats on Monday and the Republicans on Tuesday. The school auditorium took on the flavor of a political convention Huge banners lined the walls, party supporters dis displayed played campaign signs and candidates were greeted with ap applause plause and questions Most of the candidates asked to speak did so Gov. Tom McCall, however, was unable to attend and sent a representative in his place. Perhaps one of the most closely-watched contests in Marion County will be state representative position number 4 and North students listened while the candidates — Democrat Mike Dye and Republican Norma Paulus — talked about pollution. Dye attacked pollution of the air, dealing mainly w ith heavy industry Mrs. Paulus discussed the more subtle foi ms of pollution such as non-usable containers consumers buy when purchasing everyday products. The voting today will be handled the same way it will during the Tuesday’s election. Students use voting machines and their ballots will be taken to the county clerk’s office for tabulation by computer. . _ „ The entire project is handled through the social studies department at North Advisors are Virginia DeLorreto Democrat. and Dorothy Patch, Republican. Students involved in much of the work were Dave Frye and Landra Snow, co-chairmen of the Young Democrats, and Cindy Daniels and Ed Booch, with the Young Republicans Music for the fair was provided by the school pep band, directed by Del Chinberg. Sue Carter and Paul Painter, student folk singers, sang Tuesday. The coals of the Candidates Fair are obvious It gives the students a chance to see the candidates listen to their ideas an make decisions based on reason rather than uituition. It is the same process they will face in a few years as registered voters.

She is on the Manon-Polk Boundary Commission, the Salem Human Relations Commission and Interact, the new human resources arm of the Mid-Valley Council of Govern Governments. ments. She has conducted a hard-working, hard-hitting campaign. Dye, a Democrat, is a young man on the move. He recently passed the Oregon bar and is in practice as a lawyer. He has been stumping the county for months, not only meeting people but learning about them. He understands the issues. At 25, he is a member of the younger generation and has its allegiance. Yet he relates well sssssss' people. We find her a real innovator. On the ife" K&s.-sa farm lands in the valley should be preserv ed and protected.

On that basis, the decision goes to Mrs. Norma Paulus. For Walter Collett The Statesman endorsed Walter Collett in the primary for nomination to the Ma ion County legislative delegation not only on the basis of his clear- ■ ‘ thinking approach to prob problems lems but because of his intimate understanding of farm problems. Marion County is a food-producing and nrocessing area. We believe it is important that the county delegation include someone knowledgeable in those areas. Collett has been manager for 10 years of the Oregon-Washington Growers Asso Association, ciation, plus carrying a leadership role in other agriculturally-oriented or g a n l z a tions. Marion County Republicans chose him in May over two other highly-qualified contenders. He is opposed by Vern Tupper, Demo Democrat, crat, a representative of a textbook pub publishing lishing firm, who has been conducting a diligent campaign since the May primary in which he ran unopposed. We cannot fault him for effort, but our interviews with him have convinced us he does not have a really comprehensive grasp of the issues. Detailed questioning reveals his lack of knowledge of the workings of government. He has done his legwork but not his homework.

For Walter Collett The Statesman endorsed Walter Collett in the primary for nomination to the Mar Marion ion County legislative delegation not only on the basis of his clear- thinking approach to prob problems lems but because of his intimate understanding of farm problems. A Close Contest The contest between Norma Paulus and Mike Dye for the No. 4 position on the Marion county legislative delegation is the most difficult one on the ballot to decide Both can candidates didates are highly talented and each presents special qualifications. Mrs Paulus, a Republican, is an attor attorney ney with a distinguished record of public service. She has been a campaigner for better education, minority rights and pre preserving serving the livability of the Valley. She is on the Marion-Polk Boundary Commission, the Salem Human Relations Commission and Interact, the new human resources arm of the Mid-Valley Council of Govern Governments. ments. She has conducted a hard-working, hard-hitting campaign. Dye, a Democrat, is a young man on the move. He recently passed the Oregon bar and is in practice as a lawyer. He has been stumping the county for months, not only meeting people but learning about them. He understands the issues. At 25, he is a member of the younger generation and has its allegiance. Yet he relates well to the problems of older people. He makes a point of stressing property tax relief for elder citizens Marion County is a food-producing and orocessing area. We believe it is important that the county delegation include someone knowledgeable in those areas. Collett has been manager for 10 years of the Oregon-Washington Growers Asso Association, ciation, plus carrying a leadership role in other agriculturally-oriented or g a n 1 z a tions. Marion County Republicans chose him in May over two other highly-qualified contenders. He is opposed by Vern Tupper, Demo Democrat crat a representative of a textbook pub publishing lishing firm, who has been conducting a diligent campaign since the M£ $ in which he ran unopposed. We cannot fault him for effort, but our interviews with him have convinced us he does not have a really comprehensive grasp of the issues. Detailed questioning reveals his lack of knowledge of the workings of government. He has done his legwork but not his homework. The Statesman recommends Walter Collett for House Position No. 1. He epitomizes the young man with concerns who has decided to work within the system for its improvement and who urges his fellow joung people to do like likewise. wise. Mrs. Paulus not only brings an excel excellent lent background of public achievement, she is an incisive thinker. She uses herjq'7/ Women V rights are ‘significant 9 for the former term “parent 11 ”—who are mem The cliche “sweeping legislation” is not applicable to women’s rights. “Significant” legislation is the term. There was legislation favorable to women passed in several areas, including women’s equality, child care and domestic relations. “By and large, the legislature was open minded in thinking about women’s concerns,” said Eleanor Meyers, who is concerned about women. She is director of the women’s equal employment opportunity program for the state Bureau of Labor. “Some significant progress was made in opening people’s thinking to new possibilities concerning the roles of men and women in society,” Mrs. Meyers said. She cited Senate Bill 526 as the most impor* tant legislative action regarding women’s equality. The bill gives the Oregon Wage and Hour Commission the authority to regulate working conditions for “employes” rather than the pre present sent term, “women.” The bill allows protections to be based on job conditions and minimum work standards rather than the sex of the worker. It involves such conditions as rest periods, guaranteed overtime pay, lifting and maximum hours. In the area of workmen’s compensation, Senate Bill 345 increased the maximum bene benefits fits for workmen’s compensation and deleted differentials regarding the sex of workers and references to the number of dependents. Relating to domestic relations, Mrs. Meyers said the no-fault divorce bill was significant because “it provides a much more openness of roles of the mothers and fathers in the fami bers of families with incomes less than $3,000.

On the other hand, 14 of the lawmakers scored less than 50- 50, according to the council’s likes.

The council picked 24 key votes in the Senate and 22 in the House, then ranked the legisla legislators tors according to how many times they scored right. 'Yes' Wrong at Times A yes vote wasn’t always the right one in the council’s view For example, a “yes” answer on the original version of the bill to regulate filling estuaries, SB 224, was considered a bad vote because the bill was consid considerably erably watered down from its original form. u .“ Yes ” votes on tallies to refer u -"- back to committee late in ie session, usually a sure death-knell, also scored a goose egg with the council.

The three next highest in the Senate were Don Wi liner, 23 correct votes, and Ted Hallock of Portland and Vern Cook of Gresham, 22 correct votes. All are Democrats. In the House it was a three- way tie for top honors — Reps. \r Norma Paulus, R-Salem; Nan cie Fadeley, D-Eugene, and Keith Skelton, D-Portland, all with 22 out of 22 correct votes.

LuitenA Bill For An Act A small collection of unpretentious lines and rhymes from the Third House By Irvin H. LuitenForeword In the Third House, the legislative process and the bills it produces may inspire a variety of emotions and conditions in the heart, the brain, and the veins of the lobbyist. Among these are: anger, fear, frustration, hypertension, indigestion, peptic ulcers, and, on occasion, an alcoholic euphoria induced by the desire to forget it all. On some more rare occasion, the legislative process may even arouse the Muse in the breast of some harried Member of the Third House, in a moment when he can give thought to something other than the violence being wrought upon his legislative objectives or those of his client. In such rare moments, all too few, have these unpreten unpretentious tious lines been set down. Toward the close of this little volume, one will find two verses which appear to have little or nothing to do with the legislative process. They do demonstrate, however, that even the most dedicated lobbyist must occasionally seek the solitude of the beach or a walk through the snow to maintain sanity or, at least, his peace of mind when the legislative mill is grinding out its additions to the ORS.

On the Capitol lawn, I saw some squirrels, Dig seeds into the grass, Until the seeds were gone They worked within a circle, Chattered and slyly glanced, At those who watched them, All who seemed entranced With each seed they placed, They chattered, endless, on Took some away with them, Left some others in the lawn Observers could but marvel, So constant was the chatter, Even over little husks. That did not seem to mattei Strange that I should think — Of men who talked about a bill, And spun, and spun, away the time, To bury one they wished to kill The l atge mouth Explanation (Lotus t xplanacious legislatus) peering from a tangle of hyper bole at an Assembly of colleaguesWould I A Speaker Be? When I was young, I often thought, The Speaker’s seat appealed to me. And di earning then of what I sought, Embiaced the honor it would be But now I’m older, wiser, though, And nightly tossed upon my bed When once as soft as drifted snow, The pillow’s hard beneath my head. And so, My Friend, what’er you do, Recall the Speaker’s lonely plight, For glones earned are far too few, If cursed by dark and restless night The Nightmare comes to welcome me, And monsters awesome prowl my brain, And horrid creatures, chill to see, March, on and on, in endless train. The Personal Privilege, fangs agleam. With sabered tooth and venom breath, Will gnash and tear until I scream, And haunt my soul unto its death. The Sharp Procedure — Mason’s rule, With needled fang, designed to sting, Tho’ sleeping now when things are cool, Is coiled, alert, prepared to spring The Explanation’s monstrous mouth. That gapes awide while spewing sound, Resides in swamps, devoid of drouth, It feeds where foggy thoughts are found. It blocks the route, and ruts the way, With brambled noise and empty phrase, And makes it certain all should stay, Beyond the goal — one hundred days. That Point of Order — sleazy beast. With hirsute frame and weaseled face, On petty grains, it strives to feast, To hinder, slow, this hopeful pace. When I was young, I never knew. Such beasts then lived or ever should.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS, Thursday, Oct. 7, 1971 Outlaiving of pay toilets urged Pay toilets are an in infringement fringement of basic human rights. Concerns that produce them and house them show gross lack of consideration for individual convenience and ne necessity. cessity. So far, pay toilets have been foisted on the public with im impunity punity and few have demanded that they be made to justify their presence. Most people ac accept cept the dubious assumptions that pay toilets are clean and safe, but the fact is and always has been that any considerate firm can maintain clean wash washrooms, rooms, and that one can be beaten and robbed in any washroom. Pay toilets are a means of making extra profits off people in large, congested terminals and shopping centers. The companies assert that they keep pay toilets because of de demand, mand, and (in some cases) have some free toilets. But they created this de demand mand by playing on people’s fears and duping them into ac cepting an illogical and op oppressive pressive recourse; and so long as an establishment has any pay toilets it is taking ad\an- tage of a “captive” public. It also seems that the few free toilets in many such places are purposely left dirty and unre unrepaired paired to perpetuate the myth, while they could be kept up just as well as the others. In recent years, measures to ban pay toilets were defeated in the Oregon and Illinois leg legislatures; islatures; but already there are lawmakers willing to com commit mit themselves to ending pay toilets, and this presupposes some constituent pressure as well as personal conviction.

State’s Gas Fund Said ‘Sacred Cow’ Oregon’s Highway Commission should have to “stand in line like other agencies” to get the money it needs for its programs, Rep. Nor Norma ma Paulus, R-Salem, said Thursday. She testified before the House Transporta Transportation tion Committee on a proposed constitutional amendment to free highway user revenue for purposes other than highways. The constitution dedicates the revenue for use by the Highway Commission. If the propos proposal al introduced in the House is adopted by the legislature, then it would go to the people for a M- Pa ulus called the gasoline tax fund e biggest sacred cow in state government.” e said. We can’t afford to keep restricting these funds.” She asked that highway user revenue go into the general fund for distribu distribution tion as the legislature sees fit. Similar suggestions in the past never have gotten anywhere with the legislature. The Senate Highways Committee received testimony Thursday on a similar measure.

Money in the general fund isn’t ear earmarked. marked. for specific purposes, and agen agencies cies which get their money from it must have legislative approval for every pen- But the gasoline tax fund and many other special purpose funds go into sep separate arate accounts known as dedicated funds — dedicated for one use. The only justification for having ded dedicated icated funds is that it assures that the people who pay also are the people who get the benefits. Highway users pay their taxes and/in return get better highways, and bridges, roadside parks, police services, etc. It sounds reasonar ble and in some ways it is. But the general fund approach to handling all of the state’s income and expenditures is better. Earmarking specific income for spe specific cific purposes makes it difficult, almost impossible, for the legislature to devel develop op proper priorities for use of the state’s financial resources. For example, the welfare financing crisis is severe. Because it is a problem that involves the health and welfare of people, perhaps it should have a higher priority call on state revenue than a new highway in Eastern Oregon. But there’s no way under present law that the legislature can make that kind of decision. That’s why legislators are so reluc reluctant tant to create new dedicated funds. In general, the concept of earmarking user revenues has declined steadily through throughout out the nation as governments have recognized that it just isn’t possible to meet all of the needs by sticking with a user pays-user gets approach. Gasoline taxes should be treated no differently from income, or estate, or other kinds, of taxes. As A|i^. Paulus suggests, all the state’s rriCney should go into the same pot so the best possible use can be made of it. I l 'Show' To tho Editor: "f The greatest show on earth right now is taking place down in Salem. The antics of the leg legislators islators are running the gamut from tragedy to comedy and the audience never knows what to expect. A recent hearing took on the aura of an ancient Greek trage tragedy dy when one lady legislator pleaded for SB169 which would do away with pay toilets. She finds it beneath her dignity to ; crawl under a locked door. It would be tragic, indeed, if an important vote in the House was held up because said law-maker was stuck somewhere trying to get into a you-know-what! The final act of this drama could be much more effective if her constituents s t a r te d a march of dimes towards the capitol so she could get some relief. Along the lines of a musical comedy, a well-known senator has had a lifelong ambition ful fulfilled filled when SB333 passed. This bill will enable him to play his guitar in the local tavern back home. This performance, I am sure, would deserve an encore.

BEGGS Statesman Capitol Reporter A bill to do away with the doctrine of fault in divorce cases sailed through the Oregon House 56-1 Wednesday and went to the Senate. HB 1239 would allow divorces when it can be shown there are “irreconcilable differences” that led to an “irremediable breakdown” of the marriage. This law is similar to ones in effect in Iowa and California, eliminating the re requirement quirement that one party in a divorce be proven at fault on one of several grounds, such as adultery or cruelty. Re)). Walter Collett. R-Salem, cast the only vote against the bill. If passed, the law would take effect on Oct. 1 this year. The Oregon Bar proposed the bill. Rep. Norma Paulus, R-Salem, said the bill might actually result in fewer di divorces. vorces. She said it would get rid of what now is a dishonest procedure, one which often produces perjury and collusion. She said parties to divorces might sepa separate rate under more favorable conditions, and thus might be more likely to remarry than if they were subjected to fault-finding trials. The bill also would change the law so the state, represented by the district at attorney, torney, would be a party to the divorce suit only if the court requested it. Now the state is a party in all divorces. The original bill reduced the waiting period for a divorce to be final from 60 to 30 days after the decree, but that was amended in committee to retain the 60-day period. fi$ - Fa.✓// Z^^orcc.

BEGGS Statesman Capitol Reporter A constitutional amendment to allow up to $378 million in bonding for irrigation projects was passed 47 - 8 Friday by the Oregon House. A companion measure authorizing a system of loans for the projects also passed. Both measures go to the Senate. If approved there, voters will ballot next year on the constitutional amend amendment. ment. The loan program doesn’t go into effect unless the amendment is approved. Rep. Norma Paulus. R-Salem, led oppo opposition sition to the measure, HB 1303, to author authorize ize the loan program which passed 46-11. She said the state’s credit rating is likely to suffer if more bonding for state projects keeps getting approved. “Oregon has a bigger long-range per capita debt than any state west of the Mississippi,” she said. She said the state’s credit should not be used to produce more surplus food, and that other priorities are more important. “The state can’t be everybody’s sugar daddy.” But Rep.. Irvin Mann, R-Stanfield, said the program is needed to take advantage of the state’s water resources and irriga irrigable ble farmlands. He said it will help the farmers and increase property valuations. Mann said sufficient safeguards were put into the proposal to protect the state’s interests, and said if the small farmers are not helped by such a progrataithat big corporations will take over and develop the farm lands.

Sprague—Editor and Publisher—1929-1969 WALLACE A. SPRAGUE, Publisher WENDELL WEBB, Editor ROBFRT SPRAGUE, Co-Publisher J. WESLEY SULLIVAN, Associate Editor HUNT CLARK, Circulatien Manager ROBERT E. GANGWARE, Managing Editor 1971 Legislature Merits Applause The 1971 Legislature didn’t solve the state’s financial problems, but it did re remarkably markably well with what money it had. It dealt firmly with many of the challenges in this age of change. Oregon people have placed their legisla legislators tors in a financial strait-jacket. No tax can be invoked without risking referendum. The Republican leadership of the House considered it had a mandate from the people to operate the state for the next two years without a major tax increase. This was accomplished by slashing state services, but that it could be accom accomplished plished at all is almost a miracle. It was done while maintaining the state level of funding for public schools and providing minimal state employe pay increases. At the same time, the Legislature was able to give significant aid to low-income homeowners through a cigarette tax in increase. crease. It also provided a way for cities and counties to get extra money through a car license fee Thus it provided aid for schools, cities, counties and homeowners — not sufficient aid, but a remarkably good effort, considering the circum circumstances. stances. There will be a lingering resentment, however, at the legislators not only raising their own pay 50 per cent but a retroactive pay boost to boot. The Legislature addressed itself direct directly ly to many of today’s problems. It met the problem of the terrible traffic toll due to alcohol head-on. It reduced the amount of alcohol in the blood necessary for convic conviction. tion. It imposed a mandatory six-day sen sentence tence for conviction of drunk driving. In one leap, it brought Oregon equal with New York in leading the nation in laws dealing with this problem. The Legislature put Oregon clearly in the lead in combating litter by requiring deposits on beer and soft drink containers. This legislation led a long list of ecology- oriented bills reflecting deepening public concern about preserving the state’s liva livability. bility. The Legislature moved the state for forward ward in the areas of law enforcement and human concerns. The revised criminal code updates the working tools of the police and courts, a monumental achieve achievement ment in bringing order out of the past century’s accumulation of criminal laws. The establishment of a Human Re Resources sources Division gives the governor the machinery to start dealing with people instead of problems. Coordination of hu human man resource agencies will mean more efficient use of resources. More important, it will allow the state to deal with all of a person’s problems at one place instead of shunting the individual about between agencies. By coincidence, the groundwork has been laid in the Marion-Polk-Yamhill area for just such an approach with the estab establishment lishment of Interact, the human resources coordinating agency of the Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments and of the Marion-Polk United Good Neighbors. Hopefully, the state can use this ready readymade made structure to develop its concept of coordinated human resources centers throughout the state. The all-pervading problem of providing a source of revenue to meet the needs of a dynamic, growing state was one which.the 1971 Legislature passes on to its suqc&ssor, but the 1971 session deserves to be remem remembered bered for what it accomplished rather than what it didn’t.mt Tr.vt^nris authority of wage ana nour Statesman^ Safem, Ore., Werf.. j un e 2, 7] Irrigation Bonds Figure Is Trimmed The Oregon Legislature’s Inf honrlc •“ ">* Wove* a ballot m™. n? 0reE °!' , sure to issue $188 million worth amount from the $376 mill!™ that had been approved by the House Rep. i rvin Mann> R .

HB 1639 changes the concept ot prop property erty taxation in Oregon by putting it on the ability to pay. A person’s property tax would be based on his income but no one would haye to pay more than the property tax ratfc on the assessed value of his home The bill means that the state, which is providing $43 million tor the program, will pay a substantial part ot the prop property erty taxes of low income families, al although though each would pay something based on their income. Money to finance the program comes from the additional 5-cent-a-pack in increase crease in the cigarette tax and the elimination ot the property tax relief account which formerly gave a small property tax reduction to all classes of property — residential, commercial, in industrial dustrial and utility. The bill which now goes to the gover governor nor would limit the pioperty taxes of persons earning up to $1,500 a year to 3 per cent of their income, those earning from $1,501 to $3,000, to 4 per cent of their income; from $3,001 to $4,500 to 5 per cent of their income; $4,501 to $6,000, 6 per cent of their income and those earning more than $6,001 to 7 per cent of their income. The state would pay up to $500 ol the property tax of persons earning up to $3,000 after they have paid the initial tax based on their income. Any addi additional tional tax would have to be paid by the taxpayer. Those earning from $3,001 to $6,000 to $300 in state aid for then pioperty taxes, those earning horn $(.,001 to $S,000, $200 and those earning above $8,001, $100. Income totaled Undei the bill "household Income" means the aggregate income of all per persons sons in the household. A form on which a taxpayer can file tor property tax relief will be included with his tax statement. The pioperty tax relief form is to be 1 iled with the tax collector between Jan. 1 and Apnl 1 of each year. The tax collector forwards the claim to the State Department *of Revenue which decides whether or not to allow it in whole or in part The tax payment tor the first two quarters of the tax year will be due by April 15, the third quarter on May 15 and the final quarter on August 15. ihe bill would continue to give a to total tal tax exemption for the first $10,000 pioperty value for persons who are over 80 years old. HB 1639 provides $1 million for both the Department of Revenue and tax collectois to administer the program. Opposition to the bill was voiced by Rep. Stafford Hansell, R-Hernnston, who said it would be “an administra administrative tive nightmare” and that the cost of administering the program was too high. He said the concept of the bill should have received more discussion. Hansell and Rep. Carrol Howe, R- Klamath Falls, were the only House membeis to vote against the bill. In the Senate it was opposed by Sen. C.R. Hoyt, R-Corvallis, who said that rent renters ers should have been included.

BEGGS Statesman Capitol Reporter The Oregon Senate floundered without a quorum to do business all day Tuesday as 14 Democrats held out in an attempt to force a floor vote on the federal 18-year-old vote measure.

But Senate President John Burns, D-Portland, refused to accept the committee action. He contends it was invalid because Boivin did not announce the committee appointments proper properly- ly- Claimed Valid Boivin and 13 other Demo Democrats crats maintain the action was valid, however. They claim the measure to ratify the federal amendment actually is before the full Senate for a vote; Burns and the 14 Republicans claim the measure still is in commit committee tee and hasn’t been properly acted on.

She has been practicing law since Hlbany Oemocrat-fjeralD Page 18, Thursday, September 2, 1971 People assume a woman legislator will "take care of all the woman stuff.” —Rep. Norma Paulus “I attended a meeting of ’lady lawyers and became disenchanted,” she said “They were backslapping and talking about sticking together ” She was disappointed when she heard a woman judge speak about “sticking together ” “I don’t have that feeling,” said Mrs Paulus, who tells other legislators when they ask why she entered politics, “I presume for the same reason you did ” Because she is a woman, Mrs. Paulus customarily is asked questions on feminine subjects, such as birth control. People assume she will “take care of all the woman stuff,” she said. “I’m just as interested in other areas,” she emphasized Abortion was an issue in Mrs Paulus’ campaign — only because she is a woman, she Said “They never asked my opponent” Oregon’s liberal abortion law had been voted in by the previous legislature “I thought there should be no abortion law at all,” Mrs Paulus said “But I’ve done a flip-flop ” She has found in New York and in Corvallis and Eugene that live fetuses have been aborted. “I talked to district at attorneys. torneys. I think possibly there should be an earlier ter termination mination date.” she said. Day-care centers are needed not just for low-income people, said the representative She favors guidelines for day-care personnel “some of the day-care people should not be let within a block of children,” she said She would like to see funds allocated for emotionally “It is important not to think in terms of being a woman but to try to have the facts and research," she said. Mrs Paulus was one of two legislators from Oregon to attend the Eagleton Institute of Politics, an offshoot of Rutgers University concerned with furthering women in politics. She was aghast at being the only woman representative to the institute “I felt like a token black," she said “For the first two days they assumed my husband was the legislator On the third day they decided maybe I was the legislator " Mrs Paulus said she has felt prejudice much more among strangers than she has in Oregon "There was nothing better than to be a single woman among 150 men in law school. I never felt discrimination," she said.

Later disturbed children who do not receive “one dime” and for bright children who are “thwarted ” The biggest obstacle for women with children is that people think they are neglecting their children for public service “We have been told for centuries that our place is in the home," said Mrs Paulus. Many women with families say they work for money, while they really choose to work outside,” Mrs. Paulus added. A sociology survey showed the ones who said they wanted to work outside had a happier, more well adjusted home life than others. “People are always asking what Bill does,” said Mrs. Paulus “He does very well, thank you ” Husband William G. Paulus is a Salem attorney Paulus encouraged his wife’s career. They borrowed money so Mrs Paulus could go full-time to finish law school. It was a family decision that she run for the legislature. "1 have time,” she said “Someone has to make a living. My husband has that ability I’m the one who has more time to get involved.” She thinks the best way for a woman to get involved in politics is to become active in somebody's campaign. The legislators hire secretaries during the sessions, but pay doesn’t allow them to keep full-time secretaries. Mrs Paulus thinks she’ll hire someone to come in one day a week She jokes about the home situation, with her busy in CjrrX j) time Men have the same rights as women," she argued. To cut costs, the bill was consolidated with another. The bill became stuck in the last two days “The little man was crushed," she said In the past most of the women involved in politics have been older women w ho have branched out after their children left. For women to reach the top in decision-making roles, she ad\ocates more women starting young to get experience so they can exercise power in the future. “No politician has ever won an election without women.

There are no questions of “juggling” motherhood with job. Sen. Betty Browne, D-Oakridge; and Representatives Nancie Fadeley, D-Eugene; Mary Rieke, R-Portland; and Norma Paulus, R-Salem, all share a single attitude. They feel their children benefit from their role. Taking their own concerns seiiously, they include their children in that larger world. “I’ve never really felt guilty about the things that children have to do in a family,” Mary Rieke explains. ‘The very fact that the/ have been a part of ever ? thing we’ve done” is, she feels, an answer to the Rieke approach to family life. Wife of Dr. Forrest Ri°ke, mother of John, 17, a married son, Foirest, who is attending law school, arid man led daughter, Mrs. John Reaugh, Oakland, Calif., MiRieke has been a member of the Por Hand School Board for 12 years. She has also been.a nigh hool teacher and dean of women at Eastern Ore Oregon gon College. “We've always had to be a^^hmated to non-schedules in this hou 'e, beginning with father who has been in emer jenoy type med medical ical practice all these years.” She is hiring a housekeeper for the first time in years, she will come home each Fri day. Sen. Betty Browne, on the other hand, has had a housekeeper for 1U years because die went to la// chool alter the children were tx>ru Along with raiding Christopher, 11, Paul i, Id. Scott, 16, and Claudia, 13, she earned her LL.B degree from University of Oregon in '66. Daughter Claudia will be her semetary, di d the two will -haie a weekday apartment m Salem while her liusoand, Di. Hughes Biowne, staysVith a busy general pr aTi ein Oakndge. Weekends aie for family, but Claudia will be off io Willamette Pass where she teaches skimg Satuidays and Sundays. ^ For, Nan -i° Fadeley saw; she c?-m In t niaSV- Vh cock^, wasn’t living with them, “doing the things ohe’s doing for us.” The new represen - dh/o has been legisl a- iwe assistant to her husband, Sen, Edward Fadeley, for 10 years, and has finally decided the be r l system is daily commuiing. Daughter Shira, 8, and son Chuck, 14, thus can stay in “a very good school situation,” she says, “I think, in the long run, the children’s horizons are bigger because they’ve had opportunities they wouldn’t have had other otherwise wise . . . because they’ve been around the action.” The action is close to home for Rep. Nor Norma ma Paulas, who is the second woman ever to be elected to the State Legislature from Mar Marion ion County. She is also youngest of the women legis legislators lators and feels she could not have run at all if she d.dn’i live in the Salem area, reasoning thatl.ei “’>i mai y responsibility is to our chil- dien.” Elizdoeth is nine and Fritz is a meie seven. To her, fitting it all together is “a matter of disciplining your time. You have priorities. You don’t play golf, you don’t play tennis, you don’t play bridge. You don’t entertain as much.” Bub she savs, she could not have run without h°r Iv.sband’s complete support. Stie met William G. Paulus wh<?n both were at attending tending Wulamette Law School, and law school, she is qmck to -ay "was a very exit exiting ing time ” She has since been practicing appellate law (her husband practices general law), specializing in that field “because I could do lots of it at night or at home.” Choosing the meld oi a law career and family, her firsl brash with prejudge against women came, never in her law piactice, but when she ran forpubl c office. “I w asab-olutely blind with rago. For the hrst time in my life, I knew how women felt when thoy wanted to do something . . . t' a only r ;ason you eoa : ia’t is because you io a woman.” But the^e is the reassurance of Sen. Biowne. “I mast say the Legislature is one place where )ou get the le i * resistance to being a woman. Y * ive pa oed the barrier, which is being elected.

Tom McCall’s veto of the farmer-farm labor negotiations bill approved by the 1971 Oregon Legislature. But the governor signed everything else, and the outrage accompanying the veto is only a shallow scratch in the high gloss of the package fashioned by the legislators in their 151-day session. There couldn’t be any voter in the state who is happy with all that the legislature did, or didn’t do, this year. But it likewise would be difficult for anyone to argue with the assess assessment ment that the 1791 legislature was the most progressive, innovative and hardest-working of any in recent memory, and perhaps in all times. That has been the unanimous consensus of outsiders close to the legislature, such as the governor and the press. Basically the legislature was dominated by legislators whose philosophies fall in the con conservative-moderate servative-moderate range. But on occasion the power structure surprised the liberals. There was, for instance, Senate Bill 40, the new criminal code. It makes legal, effective next Jan. 1, previously illegal, “unnatural’’ sexual activities between consenting adults. By adopting a concept foreign to most states and nations, legislators perhaps were recognizing an unwillingness to continue to try to restrict the liberties of adults in cases where there is no victim. The criminal code is far more significant than that one chapter, of course, for it makes clear what crime is, and what the penalties are. Archaic language is gone, and the arrest to indictment to trial to sentencing cycle is made more clear and probably more fair. Approval of the criminal code wasn’t all that was progressive or imovative — or both. There are the law giving property tax relief only to homeowners, the “no fault” divorce law, the “bottle bill,” the new system for quick medical and wage loss payments in the event of auto accident injuries, the bill declar declaring ing alcoholism a disease and preventing as assessment sessment of penaltes against common drunks, a wad of environment bills, extensive new protections for consumers and tough new laws to penalize drunkei drivers All of these, ant manv other new laws, can be classified as anong the significant legisla legislation. tion. They all attra’ted widespread interest There also are new laws which attracted little interest. Ye these which drew scant attention may proe to be equally significant with the others. One bill shockd liberals, but the dominat dominating ing conservative T ing say it could lead, for one thing, to making it easier for the state to beat drug traffickers. The law makes it possi possible ble to require witnesses to testify, in exchange for immunity from prosecution. A program for training of physicians’ assist assistants ants — pseudo doctors — was approved. It could lead to an upgrading on medical services throughout the state, especially in rural areas. A Children’s Services Division was formed in an effort to get young people out of the welfare-vocational rehabilitation-corrections cycle. State agencies were directed, through the new Administrative Procedures Act, to keep the public better informed about what they’re doing, and to provide for public hearings on their rules Counties were given broad new authority to take over or develop new service districts to make them more visible and responsive. The labor commissioner was given new powers to deal with civil rights cases and to initiate complaints. Hiring of 98 more highway troopers and the purchase of two helicopters for use by the state police in traffic and game law enforce enforcement ment were approved. A bill was adopted to push exploration and development of underground steam resources. A Recreational Trails System and spending for bike trails and footpaths were authorized. Charitable organizations were required to report how much they spent collecting money, and how they disposed of the proceeds of their ■ fund drives. As the laws approved by the 1971 session begm to take effect, other significance will be found There is almost always “a sleeper” — remember the taxing powers voted in 1969 for Tn-Met that nobody seemed to know about? The articles in this special report on actions taken by the 1971 Oregon Le<*- islature were compiled and edited by these Capital journal and wire service staff members: Tom Forstrom Shelley Burrell John Terry Jerry Easterling Alfred C.

When you join the Payroll Savings Plan where you work, an amount you designate will be set aside automati automatically cally from each paycheck. That’s the minus. That amount will then be invested in U.S. Savings Bonds. That’s where the “plus’* comes in. Because you’re automatically saving for your future, wi th one of the safest i n vestments there are: U.S. Savings Bonds. And, by deducting a little at a time from each paycheck, you don’t feel Take stock in America. NowBonds pay abonus at maturity the pinch financially. Before you know it, you’ll have quite a tidy sum tucked away. And now there’s a bonus interest rate on all U.S. Savings Bonds—for E Bonds, 534% when held to matu- ity of 5 years, 10 months (4% the first year). That extra 34%, payable as a bonus at maturity, applies to all Bonds issued since June 1, 1970.. • with a comparable improvement for all older Bonds. Put a little “plus” in your future. Join the Payroll Savings Plan. Bonds are safe. If lost, stolen, or destroyed, we replace them. When needed, they cTfe cashed at your bank. Tax may be deTrred nntd redemption.

TOM McCALL This was the best of the 12 regular sessions I have seen up close. “Best” of course, is a pretty general super superlative. lative. As applied to the 1971 legislature, I intend it to mean courageous, tenacious, inno innovative vative and productive. Off to a delayed start in a crisis setting and with a high percentage of neophytes, the 56th Assembly could easily have hung itself on the shoals of divisiveness and frustration. Ac Actually, tually, its occasional frustrations did bring on periods of near immobility — but that it sur survived vived is due to the attributes I have just enumerated. They manifested themselves in a mountain of hard work and cooperation that transcended crass partisanship. Always in the Senate, though, an undercur- . rent of resentment simmered over ■ stances of the selection of a presiding officer. In the late going this volcano erupted ana [ civilization in the upper chamber came to t shocked standstill. Perhaps it proved that Re publicans are Republicans and Democrats are Democrats and never the twain shall coalesce. But, finally, forward momentum was regen regenerated, erated, and the earnest, sad-voiced young man in the eye of the storm stood clear, taller than all around him. ,. It was, in fact, a session that brought extraordinary stature to both embattled Senate President John Burns and House Speaker Rob Robert ert Smith. Moreover, Senator Burns and Rep Representative resentative Smith managed a relationship that must have been more productive than any ever achieved by presiders belonging to opposite houses and parties Their determination to accomplish for the people of Oregon extended down through the fioor leaders and general membership on both sides of the aisle. It animated Ways and Means in its almost desperate task. It was helped to become a creative force by the hour-by-hour, day-by-day input of the gover governor’s nor’s knowledgeable and attentive staff. professional correspondents with more space than I am alloted are writing reams about the fruits of this rapport. Sure, they’ll have to chronicle that the 1971 regular session had its weaknesses too. Most notably, it failed to agree on broad-based tax reform, legislative reapportionment, establish establishment ment of a statewide building code and reorga nization in the public safety and natural re resources sources areas. Also, the late-session maneuver maneuvering ing 0 f an arrogant handful tying up good bills in hopes of advancing bad ones, was uncons unconscionable. cionable. These reservations notwithstanding, the 56th assembly enacted what was probably a record per centage of a governor’s recommended pro- to sample the legislative milestones: • The property tax relief program was both substantial and creative — and happened to follow an ability-to-pay principle I have advocated to the tune of derisive howls in the . summer of 1966. • The legislature voted early to hold the luie on basic school support and revamp the complex formula for its distribution. • It moved toward a statewide housing authority by establishing a state housing divi division sion with revolving fund. • In reorganization, it strengthened the commerce and executive departments and gave life to the massive integrated department of human resources. • It expedited the emergency items in my message: revenue sharing, extension of unem unemployment ployment benefits and a rescanning of the whole public welfare picture. • In public safety, the criminal code was revised from stem to stem, the state police complement strengthened, the beginnings of a state police helicopter force provided and the arsenal for f i g h t i n g drunken drivers rein reinforced. forced. • The ecological package seemed almost divinely inspired, led off as it was by the B legislation of bonds, bottles, billboards, bicy bicycles cles and boats: not to mention provision for monumental coastal and Willamette Valley studies and heftier department of environmen environmental tal quality. That skims only part of the cream from this rich experience in lawmaking. But it surely demonstrates the point that our neighbors m the legislature took on an appalling challenge and showed most impressively they were equal to it. At the same time, however, the pressure of fiscal crises and sheer numbers of bills com compels pels one to conclude that the necessity for annual regular legislative sessions is fully upon us. Burns: ‘We worked for all the people’ GOV. TOM McCALL By SENATE PRESIDENT JOHN D. BURNS The 56th legislative assembly has been one of the outstanding legislative sessions in Ore Oregon’s gon’s history. Legislators worked hard and conscientiously, and they produced much in innovative novative and outstanding legislation. The people of the state — young and old — came to the legislature as they never have before. They testified, they lobbied, and the legislators respected their wishes. All in all, this session the legislators worked for all the people of Oregon as they never have before. For this reason, the legislature this session is perhaps best called the “people’s legislature." Legislators came to Salem with two goals established by the people of Oregon. The peo people ple demanded a substantial increase in proper property ty tax relief, and they demanded greater state support of our schools. The legislature achieved both of these goals. House Bill 1639 put $43 million of state money into homeowners property tax relief. Under the new law, the state will pay from $100 to $400 of a homeowner’s property taxes depending on his income and the amount of his taxes. The relief will go to all homeowners, Including senior citizens. This bill will be a model piece of legislation throughout the Unit United ed States. As a result of legislative action, the state also will pay over $200 million for support of our schools. During the past several sessions of the legislature, the state’s percentage of school support has consistently decreased. The gover governor’s nor’s budget for 1971-73 would have continued this trend. The legislature, however, commit committed ted itself early in the session to reversing the trend and increased the budget for school support by $25 million. As a result of this increase, the state’s percentage of school sup support port has slightly increased for the first time in several sessions, and the stage is set for a larger increase next session. The legislature did not stop at property tax relief and school support. It went on to pass outstanding legislation in many other fields, including children’s services, environment, consumer affairs, and criminal law. In Senate Bill 683, the legislatrre placed all state services for children and their families within a single state agency, the Children’s Services Division. For the first time, disturbed and underprivileged children will receive all services from one coordinated agency, rather than having to suffer exposure to 3 or 4 different, overlapping and sometimes contra contradictory dictory agencies. The legislature passed many bills to protect the environment. HB 1036 — the “bottle bill” __ was the most controversial. It requires deposits on all beer and carbonated drink bottles and makes “pull-tab” cans illegal. Or Oregon egon will be the only state to have this kind of ja W and the national bottle and can industries fought hard against it. The people of Oregon, however, worked hard in support of the bill, and the legislature followed the will of the people. The legislature also passed other important environmental legislation regarding nuclear power plants and wastes, automobile and in industrial dustrial air pollution, and field burning in the Willamette Valley. The legislature also passed the State High Highway way Beautification Act, which provides for the gradual removal of billboards from our state highways. And perhaps the most unique legis legislation, lation, the bicycle bill, will encourage use of bicycles in place of automobiles by providing bicycle paths along our highways. In the area of consumer legislation, the legislature passed an omnibus consumer prot protection ection bill, HB 3037. This bill will protect Oregon’s consumers from the practices of those few of Oregon’s businessmen who use unscrupulous sales techniques. It would protect the consumer and at the same time should not unfairly overburden our legitimate business businessmen. men. The new criminal code is the most massive Environment survives the battle Legislators came to Salem this year with environment and pollqtion very much on their For the most part, their attacks on the many facets of these subjects were successful. A number of bills that are or will become law advance the work that began about 10 years ago in the state Capitol. Sen. Don Willner, chainnan of the Senate Environmental Committee, describes the 1971 legislature as historic in strengthening envi environmental ronmental protection while at the same time being consistent with the need to maintain jobs. Rep. Irvin Mann, who headed a similar committee in the House, believes solid waste is the most serious environmental problem facing Oregon. He also says the legislature’s work to control nuclear power plants is significant. One significant bill is the measure requiring a deposit on beer and soft drink bottles and cans. Another is the open field burning ban. The bottle bill is aimed at every Oregonian and visitor to the state who quenches his thirst with something more than water. The burning ban takes from growers the convenience of open burning which has been an economical way to control crop disease. Both bills are controversial and were the subjects of strong fighting in the legislature. Both may not work in the long run. Both force industry to find new ways. HB 1036, known as the bottle bill, is receiv receiving ing national attention because it is the first of its kind. Basically, the bill says that after Oct. 1, 1972, a 5-cent deposit will be required on all beer and soft drink cans and bottles (with the exception of stubby .beer bottles which will nave .a. i-iem The only thing the bill specifically bans is the use of pulltabs. If cans are continued to be used, they will probably cost the consumer more than a bottle will cost. This is because it costs about 5 cents to manufacture a can which can be used only once. Bottles cost about 10 cents but can be reused as many as 50 times. The bill doesn’t mean you can start collect collecting ing bottles and cans now and turn them in on Oct. 1, 1972. Only specially marked containers will be worth something. There is already a movement to test the bill in court on the grounds that it is unconstitu unconstitutional tional as a restraint of trade. Proponents of the bottle bill say it will not impose a great hardship on retailers who have to provide room to store the returned contain containers. ers. But others believe store owners will not be able to handle the load and will have to add storage space at their expense. The bill is an attempt to change the habits of people. For years the deposit system for bottles was standard. If people threw bottles away, someone was always willing to pick them up for the deposit. Then came the age of convenience — the throw-away container which causes serious sol solid id waste disposal problems. Industry lobbyists fought hard against the measure. They insisted the legislature was trying to put some of them out of business. But the state’s lawmakers insisted they weren’t trying to do that at all. The industries involved included steel, cans, aluminum, bottle making, bottling, brewl But this was one bill which had public pressure in its favor because Oregonians ap apparently parently are fed up with seeing the highways and recreation areas littered with cans. SB 38 is the third field burning bill the legislature has dealt with in five years. It car carries ries out the intent of the first two bills. The chief effect of the bill is to ban open field burning in the Willamette Valley after Jan. 1, 1975. The date is a compromise be between tween the city people — primarily of Eugene — who wanted 1973, and the growers, who favored 1979. The bill also provides for the phasing out of field burning before the deadline if a feasible alternative is deveiopd. The alternative every everyone one is counting on for at least 1975 is called a “mobile field sanitizer.” The device is being designed to burn the straw and sear the ground against disease. It will be smoke-free. Growers will be required under the bill to pay 50 cents an acre for their burning per permits. mits. Part of the revenue will go to local fire districts who will have the job of managing the regulations. A major portion of the money will go toward development of the sanitizer and for research into other ways of handling the straw by-product. More than $139,000 will eventually be availa available ble for research and development; some of this has already been appropriated by the legisla legislature. ture. It isn’t known yet how the sanitizer will be operated. Large growers might buy one but it 1 will be a costly investment for only a few tuc. And it will take a number of sanitizers to do the job on the thousands of acres that have to be burned each year. The burning ban was inevitable. The Oregon Seed Council believes most of the state’s 3,00 growers agree that something had to be done and they have faced up to the new laws. The council believes growers have therefore taken a positive attitude despite the apparent economic burden they will be faced with. Other industries absorb the cost of environ environmental mental measures by charging more for their products. It’s not that easy for growers. In the area of nuclear power, HB 1065 established a Nuclear and Thermal Council. The bill started out as a siting bill for power plants, but amendments added monitoring reg regulations ulations for safety. Sen. Willner says the bill was completely reworked by his committee to include the task of setting standards for radioactive emissions, safety devices and the accumulation, transpor transportation, tation, storage and disposal of nuclear waste. Other amendments provide for a majority of council members to be public representa representatives, tives, a three-year time period for the siting of power plants, location of waste disposal sites and adequate funds from the utilities industry for the council to do its job. HB 1931 is a companion bill which gives the Department of Environmental Quality the re responsibility sponsibility of siting and regulating the dispos disposal al of waste which may be environmentally hazardous. SENATE PRES. JOHN BURNS SPEAKER ROBERT SMITH and carefully drafted bill to pass the legisla legislature ture in many sessions. The code is the product of four years study by the Oregon Criminal Law Revision Commission, and it is the first major overhaul of Oregon’s criminal laws in the twentieth century. Looking back over these and the many other outstanding bills the legislature passed this session — city-county consolidation, the 18-year old vote and others — it truly was a “p e o p 1 e’s legislature.” The perserverance, , preparation and integrity of the thousands of citizens who came to the legislature this ses session sion will be remembered for many years — and bode well for the future. ‘Successful’ says Smith By ROBERT F. SMITH Oregon House Speaker The 1971 legislature has already been cor correctly rectly judged by impartial observers as the hardest working and most successful in the history of the state. While the list of progressive legislation is long and impressive, the major impact of the session — particularly as it will affect the future — can be found in the philosophies and attitudes which were expressed. The most significant attitude was that our actions in all instances were based upon a sense of responsibility to the individual taxpay taxpayer, er, the often forgotten man who has sometimes failed to receive his due consideration. The majority of the members did not find the words “fiscal responsibility” old-fashioned, nor did they fear to spend money where money needs to be spent. Our only concern was: Does it truly serve the general welfare? We made a firm commitment to progress and to the principle that government wisely and justly administered can be an effective instrument of the people and for the public good. We attempted to prove that government can be dependable without increasing dependency, and that government can recognize opportunity without yielding to importunity. We realized that while government must prepare for tomorrow it must act in keeping with its capabilities and the political realities of today. We recognized the fact that Oregonians do not desire more government, they desire better government. We realized that the line must be drawn between the point where government serves the people — and where people serve the government. We faced the fact that we are supposed to serve the people not the other way around. And, in so serving the people, I believe we have proven that the phrase “of the people, by the people, and for the people” is not just a hollow statement after all. If these attitudes and philosophies continue in succeeding legislatures, the future bodes well for the people of Oregon. New criminal code is designed to close loopholes Citizens frequently complain that people “guilty” of crimes “get off” by using legal loopholes in the criminal law. The Oregon legislature has adopted a new criminal code, written clearly and intended to close some of these loopholes. There currently are 340 crimes in Oregon. Under the new code — effective Jan. 1, there are only 152. By eliminating some acts once considered criminal, and by consolidating oth others, ers, the new code is intended to make it easier to convict parties guilty of a crime. Under the new code it won’t matter how a person performed a crime so much as whether he actually performed it. Technical distinctions between similar crimes have been eliminated. Generally speaking, the new code offers greater maximum penalties for serious felonies and lighter penalties for lesser crimes. All crimes will be categorized in three classes of felonies and three classes of misdemeanors. Felonies, except for murder and treason which will continue to be punished by life imprison imprisonment, ment, are classified into three categories — “A”, “B” and “C” with maximum penalites of 20, 10 and five years respectively. Misdemean Misdemeanors ors are similarly classed with penalties of one year, six months and 30 days. While the code takes a tougher stand on the hard crimes, the philosophy is changed about many forms of conduct which used to be considered a crime. No longer, for example, will adultery, lewd cohabitation, or seduction be considered crimes. Private, consensual homosexual con conduct duct between adults also is permissible. The Criminal Law Revision Commission, which spent four years drafting the new code, suggested the more relaxed attitude on these because "such laws are substantially unen unenforceable forceable and have only minimal deterrence and no rehabilitative value.” There have been laws on the books in Oregon prohibiting adultery and seduction since 1864. Research shows most recent seduc seduction tion case before the courts was in 1916. The last criminal adultery case was prosecuted in 1925. Little opposition to these liberal changes was expressed to the legislature before it en enacted acted the code. Apparently, most citizens agree with the commission and legislators who feel law enforcement officials should guard against the criminal element and not act as moral guardians for the people. There still will be laws against rape and sodomy, with the emphasis directed toward protecting minors. The age of consent in re gard to statutory rape remains at 16. It will be unlawful to solicit a prostitute under the new code, and male prostitution, as well as female prostitution, is prohibited. Under the new code there will still be a law against obscenity, but it is changed somewhat from the old law which has been held unconsti unconstitutional. tutional. No attempt is made to control materi materials als that are dispensed to or consumed by adults. There are strong provisions, however for the protection of minors and conviction for a crime in that regard could result in a year in jail and a fine of up to $10,000 The new code abolishes the idea that a citizen who places a bet is a criminal Instead the new law tries to get at the professions! gambler who exploits the popular urge to gam- ble. “Friendly social games" are not consid ered criminal under the new code. Lotteries and gambling devices such as slot machines are still considered illegal, but free play pinball machines are not prohibited. Staffer penalites will result if a person i. convicted of criminal activity in drugs unde the new code.

This means a maximum prison sentence of 20 years could be ordered. This is twice the penalty now prescribed under the law. . , Under the new code, a person may be charged with a misdemeanor if he sells any substance to a police officer by falsely repre representing senting it to be a narcotic or dangerous drug. police also will be able to confiscate vehi vehicles cles used in illicit drug traffic and later use them for undercover law enforcement purpos- " there are major changes in the criminal holicide law.

Manslaughter will carry a maximum 10-year penalty and crimi criminally nally negligent homicide convictions may re result sult in a maximum five-year sentence. There now are 30 separate statutes on the books concerning types of larceny. District attorneys and courts throughout the state have been trying for a long time to have these larceny statutes consolidated. They said the consolidation would eliminate the artificial and confusing distractions among such crimes as larceny, larceny by trick, embezzlement, ob obtaining taining property under false pretenses and other similar laws. The new code eliminates 16 of these related crimes, and the theft laws have been stream streamlined lined and simplifeid. The dividing line now between misdemeanor and felony theft is raised from $75 to $200. Burglary is another streamlined law under the new code. Under the old law, prosecutors had to prove an intent to steal. The new law requires only that the intent to commit any crime be proved. Other loopholes are eliminated in the bur burglary glary statute because prosecutors will not have to prove that property was kept in the unlaw unlawfully fully entered building. It will no longer have to be proven that the Intruder had the intent U> commit the crime of burglary when he made the unlawful entry. Persons possessing burglar’s tools may be arrested under a new crime included in the burglary section. This specific crime will elim eliminate inate the use of the vague vagrancy statutes used by most police agencies now when they suspect that an individual is about to burglar burglarize ize a building. A robber won’t necessarily have to take something from a victim under the new code to be arrested on a charge of robbery. That presently is a requirement under the law. The new code calls for a robbery prosecu prosecution tion even if the person assaulted is not the one robbed. If the threat of robbery is directed at a third person who is not the owner of the property, it will be robbery. The code sets a new ruling on when persons can be considered responsible for their crimi criminal nal acts if insanity pleas are entered. Presently, a person can be considered legal legally ly Insane only if he doesn't know the difference between right and wrong.
