Although conceding that "we're up against some pretty big guns" in the beverage industry lobby, McCorquodale added that "we're prepared for a one or two year battle if that what it takes." This time, he said, "we have some powerful support of our own," such as the United Food and Commercial Workers, Local 1179; the California Farm Bureau; the California Public Interest Research Group (CalPIRG), Teamsters Local Union 896. November 1982. Flanked by farm, labor, consumer and environmentalist supporters who said 'hey are "far better prepared today than in 1982," McCorquodale said that his bill is "gaining more support than ever; it has borrowed the best provisions from nine existing laws and then would require that all beer and soft drink cans and bottles be returnable for a nickel deposit." The new measure would become effective, he said, on June 1, 1985, "and by 1986, all beverage bottles would need to be refillable types, and cans would have to be recyclable." However, he added, "stores could refuse containers they felt presented a sanitation problem. In addition, stores By ROBERT STUDER Copley News Service SACRAMENTO Their wounds from the 1982 "bottle bill initiative" battle in which they were outspent by industry opponents some six to one now healed, proponents of a bottle-can deposit proposal went back to the Legislature Thursday with a new plan that its sponsors say "draws upon the experience of previous defeats to come up with a stronger measure." Introduced by Sen. Dan McCorquodale, D-San Jose, SB 1470 and SB 1471 would attempt to accomplish environmental and anti-litter goals similar to those in the unsuccessful initiative ballot proposal that was defeated by a heavy margin in could use automatic 'reverse vending machines' to refund deposits, reducing storage and handling costs and making the system more convenient for consumers." These machines will automatically return a nickel for each can or bottle deposited in them.

Although Proposition 11 was soundly defeated, McCorquodale said, he is optimistic that his legislation will find support this year. "People are becoming disillusioned with the beverage industry's false promises about coming up with a 'better program to cut litter and increase recycling. The industry's supposedly new program 'RecyCal' is just a repeat of the promises they have been making to the people of California since 1977. It recycles a lot of rhetoric, but not much more." The senator warned, in that "recycling of beverage containers actually is down from 20 years ago; in 1960, two-thirds of all beverage containers were recycled directly through reuse. Today, less than one-third are, and the recycling rates for some containers are below 1 percent.

At the same time, litter is up especially container litter. According to a study sponsored by the state's Waste Management Board in 1982, beverage containers make up 30 to 40 percent of all littered items." McCorquodale pointed out that nine Party High winds 175,000 in 1976 and to 2.5 million in 1980. "Our goal is to provide the people of Placer County with a choice," Daniel said, noting that today there are 364 registered Libertarians in the county. Daniel and McLarin, who have both run unsuccessful campaigns for Congress, said they hope this year to place several Libertarian candidates for offices in Placer. The only local Libertarian yet to announce candidacy is Chuck Carr of Loomis, running for the 5th District assembly seat against Assemblywoman Jean Moorhead, D-Citrus Heights.

"We're anti-draft," Daniel said. "I don't want a slave trying to protect me." While many Libertarians are not themselves religious, they believe the church is important to preserve "as one of the last remaining islands of freedom," McClarin said. Libertarians believe there should be no zoning laws restricting land uses. They said such matters can be resolved voluntarily, and be governed wisely by the free market system. Others, however, say zoning laws ensure people can enjoy the same freedoms.

"If there are no rules at all, you're at the mercy of the individual owning the land next to you," Ferreira said. "If you don't like it, you have to stay and lump it or move. "We can all get along pretty well without conflicts until subdivisions, cities, factories, farms and industries come into the picture." Daniel came from 'conservative' camp against Rep. Bob Matsui, D-Sacramento, in 1980 and 1982. The first time around, he received about 6,000 votes even though there were only 1,000 registered Libertarians in the District.

In 1982, he garnered nearly 17,000 votes. Daniel said there's "a high possibility" he will run for local office this year, but would not specify which one.

He later met a Libertarian Party leader, Dick Harmon, at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn. "He was talking about a strange political party with a lot of wild ideas, saying you should be responsible for yourself your life, liberty and property," Daniel recalled. "I didn't pay much attention but then he gave me a handfnl of literature and it had a ring of truth to it." Daniel, 51, ran for Congress LOOMIS Bruce Daniel, chairman of the Placer County Libertarian Party and a Loomis dentist, said he started fighting government regulation when President Nixon instituted wage and price controls in the early 1970s. "It almost put me out of business," Daniel said of the last phase of the program when controls were lifted on everyone but dentists, phsyicians and oil firms. Daniel, a Newcastle resident for the past 12 years, said he initially joined an organization called the Conservative Caucus, and even (Continued from Page 1) commendable but I don't know how practical they are; there's 200 million of us around here (in the United States)," said Alex Ferreira, chairman of the Placer County Board of Supervisors, himself a Democrat.

"It's one thing to profess how things started in this country and the individual rights we all want and expect, but it goes against reality that humans need some kind of government regulation. "One thing that makes their philosophy endure is they've never been able to hold an place in the political system," Ferreira said. "They don't have people in office to show if what they're saying will work or not. It's easy to criticize." Barbara Feuz, chairman of the Placer County Republican Central Committee, said Libertarians aren't as different from Republicans as they might believe. "There's basically a lot of agreement, and because a third party is not practical, voting for a Libertarian in my personal opinion is wasting a vote and the same as voting for a Democrat," she said.

She said the Moral Majority movement is not as tied to the Republican Party as the press makes people believe. "People I know in the Libertarian Party are Republicans who've been unhappy about things like the ERA," she said. "But they should take the good with the bad and try within the structure to change what they feel is wrong." Daniel and McClarin concede that Libertarian candidates for local and national offices have received'only small percentages of the total vote, but point out the party began only a decade ago. "We are the No. 3 party in the country and growing very rapidly," Daniel said, noting candidate Ed Clark received more than 1 million votes when running against Reagan in 1980.

In 1972, the number of Americans voting for Libertarian candidates totaled 5,000.

The Orangevale resident ran for: Congress in 1980 against incumbent Bizz Johnson, D-Roseville; and winner Gene Chappie, R-Chico. McClarin received 6.5 percent of the vote.
