OREGON
MEASURE NO. 5
Argument in Opposition
The more government expands, the more limited our
freedom becomes! Tax increases expand government so the
way to stop government increased power is to stop tax
increases!
In the past year taxes have been increased on property,
wine and beer. Permit,license and user fees have increased.
Liquor prices(taxes)have increased. And a very subtle,but
very large increase in state income taxes for the middle
income group has resulted from a change in the federal
standard deduction. (Some married couples may be rapped
for $170 additional).
This gas tax increase must be defeated.
While the gas tax is the fairest way of paying for
highways,this need must be considered together with all the
other governmental services. Priorities must be established.
If additional monies are needed for roads, then gas taxes
should be increased,but only after there is a corresponding
dollar decrease in other taxes.
The Transportation Department spent $2,000,000 in
state and federal funds to build a parking lot for the Tri-Met
Transit buses near the freeway.This in spite of a 2 to 1 vote
of the people in 1974 not to use highway funds for mass
transit.
Some$100,000 is being spent to take movies of the Glenn
Jackson Bridge construction on I-305 over the Columbia.Yet
Jackson says we are desperately short of highway funds.
Apparently not so short that we can afford to take movies of
the bridge named for Mr. Jackson. He should get his
priorities straight.
The Mt. Hood freeway withdrawal has given Portland
$200,000,000 for streets.The Salem freeway withdrawal has
made $30,000,000 available.
Have you noticed that every time we turn down one of
these"desperately"needed tax increases,the powers that be
manage to find some "unexpected" or hidden funds?
In the November General Election we will be voting on
the $10 auto license increase.If both measures pass you will
have a whopping 47%increase in your automobile taxes.And
— remember that is forever!

Fellow Democrats—
We have two ways to go. Either we can blindly serve the
interests of the corporate powers and accept or not seriously contest
the burnt offerings of Straub, McCall, Ullman, Hatfield and the
numerous"politics as usual"candidates for other offices,or we can
really get behind the refreshing new candidates who have character
and ability.One way we enable the Republican powers to keep their
hold on Democrats and the other way we forge a Democratic party
that is clearly identifiable as such.
Fortunately,we do have a number of excellent new candidates to
support. Emily Ashworth will be a good replacement for Straub.
Vote for her in the primary;she can then beat McCall,or Atiyeh or
Martin,in the fall and move the Governor's office from the corporate
suites in Portland back to Salem where it belongs.
I almost filed against Al Ullman. A recent editorial in the
Capital Journal correctly stated, "Ullman achieved his present
prominence by treating his fellow congressmen deferentially and by
catering to special interests."However,only two years will expire
before we have another chance against him. The greater national
disaster would be for Mark Hatfield to return to the U.S.Senate for
another SIX YEARS.

Al Propst, presently retired, has 24 years experience with
agricultural aviation and chemicals. He graduated from Albany
High School, and attended Oregon State University and Linn-
Benton Community College.
Propst is a Veteran of Air Combat of W.W.11.He was born at
Albany, Or Jan. 11,1926 he has two sons and is of pioneer Oregon
family. His Biography is in The International Who's Who of

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

For

` of the
Bureau of Labor

High School,Chicago, 111. Spent more than 30 years in the restau-
rant business and trucking industry.

businesses for more than 33 years, both as an employee and as
employer, giving him particular insight into the problems of both
labor and management.His long experience will provide the neces-
sary administrative qualities to make meaningful improvements in
the Labor Commissioner's post, especially in establishing closer
communication with the Legislature and Governor's office. Frank
Franzone pledges to improve the overall effectiveness of the Labor
Department, emphasizing new, updated programs for the civil
rights, apprenticeship training and wage and hour divisions.
Included would be a new program to expand statewide job
training, especially for women and minorities.He favors expanded
training-employment in a wide range of new fields as well as the
traditional skilled crafts.He also would place increased emphasis on
educating employers to the economic benefits which accrue from

tion cases.

houses of the Legislature in adopting laws which would strengthen
the regulation of payment of wages, hours and working conditions

agencies to make their role more effective in assuring Oregon an
adequate, efficient work force, able to meet new demands.

WILLIAM R.
(BILL) SHUCK
For
r
Commissioner
of the
Bureau of Labor
Bill Shuck is presently Personnel Manager for one of Oregon's
largest manufacturing firms. He has been in Personnel Manage-
ment since 1971 and has been directly involved in all major areas
which are governed by the Bureau of Labor. Born in Salem, he
attended Salem Public Schools, then Oregon State University,
earning a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Business Administra-
tion. He financed his education by working as a Teamster and a
Steelworker.
Supported by both business and labor as the qualified candidate
for this office, he is not bound by political or personal favoritism;
rather, he is recognized as the fair, knowledgeable, responsive
person needed to provide the proper leadership in the Bureau of
Labor for all Oregon citizens.
Having been involved in Civil Rights matters from affirmative
action through investigation, to compliance, he's aware of the
deficiencies in the present method of handling discrimination
complaints. He's convinced that the rights of all affected are best
served by proper and timely resolution of complaints and believes
strongly that preventive measures should receive more emphasis in
administration of the law.
Bill Shuck already has a lifetime of experience and knowledge in
Apprenticeship and Training in Oregon. Besides having direct
experience in administering Apprenticeship Programs, he is the
recipient of his father's nationally recognized expertise in Appren-
ticeship and experience as Director of the Division of Apprenticeship
and Training of the Oregon Bureau of Labor.He believes strongly in
the program being responsive to the needs of both employee and
employer representatives.
In the area of Wage and Hour administration,Bill Shuck feels
that favoritism in the enforcement of applicable laws must be
eliminated.He calls for the return to fair and equitable enforcement,
as the State can have no friends who violate these laws.
He sees the flow of communication into and out of the Bureau of
Labor as extremely important in helping all Oregon's citizens. He
has seen the problems created by lack of communication in the
Bureau and would make major changes to open communication
lines.
Bill Shuck has the qualifications and attributes necessary to
bring responsible and responsive leadership to the Bureau of Labor.
Bill Shuck is the Qualified Candidate for Commissioner of the
Bureau of Labor.

Superintendent, Duncan placed top priority on increasing state
funds to reduce local property tax and stabilize school finances.
Therefore, he did not request funds for many deserving new

available resources for property tax relief.
Stafford Hansell, as Director of the Executive Department respon-
