STATE REPAESENTATIVF
Merit System Needs A
Legislative lookSee
Governor J Howard Echnond-
son's special committee to form
the states new merit system
board has found itself scheduled
for invmitigation before it even
has the program underway
Members of the legislature
base criticized the present ad-
ministration tor "political fit-
ings" as creating unfavmablo
public reaction
One member of the legislature
c-harged that the firings have
harmed the morale of state em-
ployees who are given to under-
triiitt that it th: nature of their
sponsor rather than their ability
that ivill determine their future in
the job held"
The citizen group does not
have a single member of the leg-
islature included and there 'veins
little logic in having rules of pro-
cedure drafted that will he re-
pealed in the next session of the
legislature The present gover-
nor has not seen fit to recognize
members of Mc legislature on
key study groups
The members of the legislature
feel that if a group is going to
expand state money the legisla-
ture should know Oat is being
done and how the money is being
expended
50 Barrel Minimum Oil
Allowable Debatable
A plan to circulate a petition
for a constitutional amendment
establishing a constitutional mini-
mum allowable of 50 barrels of
oil per day per well being spon-
sored by a newly formed Okla-
homa Independent Producers and
Royalty Owners association is
not favored by other independent
groups
The plan has been criticized by
another group the Oklahoma In-
dependent Petroleum association
as being "an illogical step which
would drive hundreds of small
oil men out of business"
The °IPA says the "large wells
would be allowed to sell their 50
barrels but the small producer
would be cut off without any
I) arket under the proposed plan
This would affect the small pro-
ducers royalty owners an I ma-
to:Ily affect slate taxes'
The proposed new amendment
is the "brain child" of W A
(Cus) Delaney Jr Ada indepen-
dent oil producers
