Bill ï2 is a very simple Bill. It allows a right turn ona red light, after stopping in the State of Illinois. Itl,

patterned after several other States. I believe tNere Rre

21 States that have a modified form of this lawz and there

are 11 States that absolutely allow it. The biggest and

largest one, of course, is California. and al1 of the studi s

' '

.' have shown that this has helped the flow of traffic cona

'' siderably. The National Safety Council has come out in

.' favor of it. The Department of Transporkation has come out

in favor of it. The Sec<etary of Skate for the State of

Illinois is in favor of it, and the Chicago Motor Club is

' not against it. They said they have to look at it ko see

if there was enouqh time, more less to implement the Bill

for safety sake. So the Bill was amended and put in an

effective date of January 1, 1974. which wâll give 'plénky

law also, Bill , to the ef f ect that at the present time , the

law in Illinois is that you can walk against a red light.

This changes that, and this prohibits walking against a

red light any further in Illinois , so I think it would help)

in that areay because I téink we ' re one of the f ew States

that allows people other than you see for a municipal ordi-

nance, which does not prohibit walking against a red light.l'

Walsh: ''We11, Mr. Speaker, my very unprofessional reaction to

this is that a motorist who is looking to hi's left tr/ingto determine whether he can make a right turn on a red

lighk, ah.... and looking to his left to see if there's any

on-cbming traffic/ would not' be in a position to look to his

right to see if there were pedestrians crossing in front of

him and it would seem to me tiat there would be more pedestr'ans

injuries and fatalities as a result of this, so I tend to

oppose this Bi11.''

against a red light. The present 1aw does allow pedestrian

to do that thing. In other words, if they look b0th ways,' 3 .

supposedly, they may step off of the curb and they may cros

against heavey traffic cr no traffic or any kind of traffic

the case of William Vs. Florida in 1970, where the Supreme

Court of the United States held the trial by jury does not

necessarily mean a trial by twelve persons: there has been

a rapidly growing trend toward six man juries in the United

twelve jurors if he feels that twelve jurors can' best

determine his civil case. I've been trying jury cases for a number of years. I originally introduced a bill

when I was a freshman in this House, allowing the six man

jury. Nobody has been deprived of any rights. As a matter

of fact, a party who does not have the cost of a twelve' man jury can get a jury trial for half that cost. And I ' '

don't care if you have six man in the jury box or twelve,. the problem is always the same. .You've got to convince

somebody that youfre right. A six man jury is a good way

. 'ko aho... to provide jury service for alle and particularly

in those jurisdictions that have a difficult time getting

' twelve men to servce on a civil jury. So I would support

this Bill as a step forward in our modern jurisprudenceah.... system and allow permissively a man to select whethe

' . j

' . he wants s'ix or twelve. You want to take twelve men and

further confuse the issue, be my glleste but I would support

Bill 39 is purely a permissive Bill. Many of you who were

' here last year, will recall, that I had a six man jury Bill

in and the opposition of the attorneys trying jury cases

was so severe, I was compelled to table it. This is strict y

a compromise. I believe that the experience khat will be ' '

cases will be tried by six man jurors. Now when I get todownstate, there is not a county in the State of'lllinois

that charges fees for a jury. The only difference it will

make downstate is that a jury demand will be for a six man

. Jury and if anyone desires twelve, a1l they have to do is

make a request and theyfll have 12 men in their jury. I !

or growing or ackivîties on farm land, welre talking about '

things that do not necessarily relate to the property

welfare of the farmers. We#re talking about a series of

ideas that come close to dê'aling with the concepts of

whether or not we can control some of the neqative aspecks

of farming with pesticides and other ah.... things llke

nitrates. Now last week, we spoke in a specific way about

that. I talked a liktle bit about the fact that there are

face as they are confronted with these ah.... requirements

are seriously impeded, and I think in al1 those case, what .

EPA is concerned about making applications that are ah.... '

established in areas where they can function and work.

Not about the whole state of Illinois. And I think we

ought to give that a serious consideration. When Webber

talks about a bureaucracy from Illinois, he wants for the

convenience of the Bill, to apparently overlook the

bureaucracy of the Federal government. I don't know how

he can support a Bill like this. If we are really serious '

. about striking a balance between the welfare of the farmer

and regulating effectively, efficiently, sincerely and

honestly the pzonlems of the enviromilent, then 1 think .

that welve got to allow that to occur through an agency

khat we establish. There is no way that I can draft a

Bill which is going to regulate... determine pesticides.

Ites like for me saying you... to al1 of you that you sup-

' port a bill on noise pollution if it is higher than 80

decimals on the A scale if it comes from a lawn mower. I' don.t think we can do that. so I think you ought to take

a;d his disgruntlement, but I think we ought to take an .

Bill 40 was introducedy it provided that the State could

not regulake farming operations relating to the growing and

roduction of grain crop . As amended , the Bill providesP .

be no more stringent than those regulations adopted by the

Federal Government. This kind of law, in my opinion, would

establish a very, very bad precedent. What it saysz Mr. '

Speaker, Members of the House, is that a State can do no

better, can do no more than the Pederal government, when

there is concurrent jurisdiction. The beauty of our Federa

system is that the State has been able to experimeni on a

Stéte by State basis. And that those States that have not

experimented can gain from the benefit of those who have

Hart: l'Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and

Gentlemen of the House, the trouble with the Environmental

Protection Act that we passed here a couple of years ago,

was that ah... not enough attention was given to some of

the provisions of it and iy went too far in many plaees and' I commend Representative Borchers for the amendment. I

' think absolute prohibitions or absolute exempti6ns, probabl. ' , . ; ) . 4

. . . ' . ' ; 7 . .

bokh, go too far. Buk ah.... if you went into and tried 'J 1 ' 3 '. . . '' ' .

' to find out.... if you had a feed lot if you're a farmer ' J,

and you went in and trïed to find out what can I do to 'j '

qcomply ,with the law, you couldn't get any answers. They' 'just said you got to quit doing what youfre doing. but they

't ive you any alternatives and no faymer, no beef 'don g

grower with any degree of certainty make provisions, make

expensesy whieh would comply with the Aet. So itês definit ly

k';Ju true that the Federal government now is backing away from '

some of its requirements or proposed requirements with re- '

gard to beef c attle : and I think tha State should do the ' '

same thing and take' h better look at this. After allv if '

' khere's a whole lot more monev qoinq to be involved in theh ' . ' ' '

. ' . l . '

' # . 'a great demand for reducing beef prices. There s even

demands for meatless Tuesdays and meatless Thursdays and

that sort of thing. And I encourage it. I think that's !

not only a meatless Thursday, but a taxless Tuesday. l

think we ' ought to have that too. But I think Repre-

sentative Borchers has got a good Bill here. I think its

a workable plan. There ought to be some uniformity which

will be provided by the Federal Act and ceriainly the

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency can live with this

the support of this Bi11.''

Borchers has another Bill, Bill Numher 170, House Bill 170,

is not good enough for me. There was evidence submittedt ' .

' thak there are pollution problems with grain farming. I

don't know personally whether or not this is true or not.

The biggest producers of agricultural equipment. Now thes

billse if they were allowed to continue, without any

restrictions on them, and some of the things EPA is talkin .

about, it would reduce a yield in corn, for example, to .

approximately 50 bushels to acre. This year the average

in Illinois corn was l18 bushels. So you can see what tha

will do, and we better keep in mind that the farmer can

go backdoor farming; he knows how. And there would be

' no problem going back to it, .except when he does this and

starts raising so.bushels ko acre of corn, that means we' '

gshould stop and think that they re 50 million people in. *

. and then you don't know whether the State law applies or '.

the Federal law applies and you have to assume that the :

. Federal laws supercedes the State law and it would be a

genuine mess, so I can see no harm in this Bill at all.

If it's passed as amended, 'either from the viewpoink of tho e

Who are upâight about pollution or the farmer, because the

, farmer is going io have to comply with the Eederal rules , .

and regulations anyway, so in light of reasonableness, 1' .'

Craigz 1'Mr. Speaker. and Members of the House. I want to ris

and expm-ain my eote on this Bi11 too. I have had a lot

of complaints from the people in my areas about the EPA.

Now I have no complaints about the EPA as far as regulatin

but when they go into the legislative field in legislating

that's when I fall out with the EPA. And I've been to

several meetings and have heard nothing but complaints fro

the People that I repbesent and it rather disturbs me that

when I get criticized for something that I didn't do or

this General Assembly didn't parkake in doing. That q

particular agency throughltheir rules and regulations de-

cide that this is what should be done. And I was to a

meeting in Decatur,>lllihois last fall, where the elevator

of the State of Illinois had quite a meetingz and they wer

oing to be closed down, a 1ot of them, if the' EPA went., tuss state hadahead

are necessary. A former speaker here, in explaining his

votey would have you believe that the farmers are pollutin

all the waters in the State of Illinois ànd that simplyl

is not true. It hasn't been proven. The pollution is

nothing compared to some of the polluiion that the munici-

palities and the cities are doing. So there has been no

sufficient proof that ah.... the farmers are polluting the .

' streams in the State of Illinois. Now we a11 know that

' föod costs are high. A1l you have to do is go to the '

supermarket to find that out. We've spent the last forty

years developing scientific ways in which the farmer could

develop the quantiEy and the quality of the product which

he's putting on the market. Today w'e find he isn't able

to put enough. Now; with some regulationse are we goingto handstring that farmer to where he can't produce? I

submit to you that the Federal regulations are sufficient.

And wa have State regnlations .4.n the rast thE.t ah... have

been far more stringent upon the farmers and other forps

of business than the Federal regulations are. And I just

think Ehis is no reflection whatever on the present ah.... '

Getty: OMr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I

rise to explain my opposition to this Bill. I voted again t

almost a1l of Mr. Borchers Bills in Committee, and I state

here the reason for which I voted against them. We have

been asked today vote for a Bill, which if we passed itz

would make ridiculous the Study Commission Bill, which he

has introduced. If there is a need to review the actions

of the Pollution Control Board and the Environmental

Protection Agency, the distinguished Representative from

Lincoln, has a Bill that would permit us to vote to create

a Commission or Committee to do that. To pass legislation

now which would affect the Environmental Protection Act,

or the Pollution Control Bo'a'rd, is incongruous with that

Bill. I also point out that the Farm Bureau has not sup- '

. ported this and administrative regulations indicate that

there has been a change to accommodate the farmer. For al

these reasons, I certainly ask those members which havenlt

voked yek: to give a 'nay' vote to this Bil1.''

We had some important bills here before this legislature

two or three years ago, in which we found the necessity,

although we were unable 6o pass the Bills, of preventing

corporate farming in the State of Illinôis, where the larg

corporakions come in and denude the land. Regrettably,

if the actions of the EPA in-the pask are continued: small

family farms are going to be a thing of the past, because

they will nollonger be able to....''

K. Miller: ''Jusk a minute, Mr. Tipsword, pleasey let's get

you some attention in here. The gentleman bas something

to say, please listen.''

Tipsword: ''The sm#ll family farm Will no longer be able to

compete economically if they proceed as they have in the

past. And they're going to be right for the large corpo-

rations who come in and truly denude the land, who are

only interested in the immediate and quick prôfit and do

of the.EPA have indicated that they just simply going to

take them out 6f business. Representative Craig mentioned

the èlevator situation. Not only did the EPA during the

past year, provide very stringent regulations for the

elevators, so that they threatened to go out of business,

they wouldn't even listen to elevator operators and grain

dealers to find out what the practical solutions were.

Now, 1... I propose to you that ah.... they are overboardI .

as far as the Environmental Protection Agency's con-

cerned. Maybe they think I*m overboard the other way.

I?d like to think I#m neukral. Now... they are against1 . .

any act that would amend the EPA Act. I voted for the

EPA Act a few years ago and if I had it to do over, I thin

. . ' ' '

' . ..I would request some changes in it, because I think we mad

' ' a mistake at that time, in giving the Agency too much leve age

' or too much power. I would much rather that the environ-

' . mental protection Act or the Pollution Control Board which ,

is the one that calls all the shots, would operate as an ,

, Agency of the Government and their appeal from them would

have to be channeled through the Administrative Review

Act. But nevertheless, the in the Act we have given them '.

' a lot of authority. Now I want you to look at this partic - '

. .lar Bill. This particular Bill proposes... is in relation

to our feed lots. This particular bill proposes that ah.. ''. ç'

many Words have already been uttered on this s'ubject, and

i the House. I'd just like to poink out one fact, that when '

,; this Bill was introduced lask year in khe General Assembly,

y . 'At never came out of thetEnfironment Committee. And there - '. . . . ,. . . . .

. was testimony both pro and con on this Bill. The distingu'shed

Member pointed out there were a few mayors from downstate .'

' that came and testified in behalf of the Bill. But he ' '

also failed ko mention that the Environmental Protection '

Agency was opposed to it, and the Members of that Committe

were also opposed to it because ik was the first of a seri s

. of Bills to remove the powers of the Environmental Protec-

tion Agency. Ladies and Gentlemen, when you rake leaves '. . t . '

and you burn, it creates smoke and smoke is pollution.

Bill 634, whlch has just been read a first time, is a .

House Republican Leadership program that is designed to

bring immediate, direct release to the beliqered taxpayers.MT .

' as proposed by Governor Walker. And this proposal has

the added recommendation of making good fiscal sense. .

If a tax is burdensome, discriminatory and reqressive,

then to relieve its burden, we should act directly, not

try the gimic of using one tax to offset another. We in

the House Republican Leadership, believe khat the best

course of action is to put our present revenue system in

.

order before we aktempt to adopt a revolutionary new con- ' '

. cept such as a negative income tax proposed by the Governo .

' Durinq the 77th General Assembly, we initiated and enacted '

: ''' .

legislation to bring tax relief to the personal property

' ' taxpayer, the homeowner, homestead exemption ànd the elder

and we will shortly reintroduce our property tax freeze

legislation and we don't intend to stop here. As soon as' , . T. '

ik becomes fiscally sound to do it, we will introduce $.

' legislation to further cut reqressive taxes and our revenu

. base. At a time when women are organizing and joining .

' meatless Thursday campaigns and ,when the ccst of livinq

in general is so high, we want to devote ourselves to givi
