French (Csntinued From Page One) present method of apportionment H unfair in that some counties, especially those more sparsely settled, are unequally repre sented. He cited his own area of five counties served by a single sen ator. Also, Klamath, Lake, Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson likewise have but one, whereas Josephine county, w hich had but 9.000 popu lation when its district wai set up, has a senator. Better Representation Counties, originally organised on geographical or political bases, still exist in that manner, each having its own problems and needs, said French. He believes a senator for each county could more accurately evaluate its needs. A senator would thus be representing his county, while the representatives, elected on a popu lation basis, would represente the people. Such a plan, he said, might not work In Texas, which has 254 counties, the smallest with 255 population, but Oregon would not have too many senators. The general trend in govern ment Is for cities and counties to delegate more and more author ity to the state, and the state to the federal government. His plan, he believes, would center more authority in local governing bod ies, which can keep a closer fin ger on spending. The plan is simple, he main tains. In that it is patterned alter that of Congress. He believes it the fairest system he knows, as each county would be fairly repre sented by a senator and the leople by representatives, based on population. This reapportionment problem, he predicts, will he one of the most Important in the 1951 legis lature, overshadowing even the important highway and schooi support programs.
