Stanton A recent opinion pull concluded liy (!inirriH.iman Har ris Kllsworth in the Fourth CoiiKressional District is most revealing. Results show a decidedly conservative trend. It also indicates disagreement with some of the issues for which Oregon's two senators are pressing most vigorously. One of the surprising features of the poll is the large response. Kllsworth mailed his questionnaire to 12,0(10 residents of the district "without regard to politics or occupation." lie received more than 1.200 replies, or approximately 10 jwr cent. An opinion poll of this type gaining as much as 5 per cent is considered exceptional. The response receiv ed by Ellsworth can he interpreted as showing an unusual interest in governmental activities. In response to a question of whether postal rates should he increased to meet deficits, 71 'per cent of the replies were in the affirmative, 23 per cent were negatvie. The issue of more federally subsidized housing brought, answers of I!) per cent yes. 72 per cent no. Replies favored Kiscnhower's highway construction program HI percent to 11 per cent. U'ss government com petition with private business drew a vote pf 77 -r cent yes, 18 per cent no, while 82 per cent favored balancing the budget before making tax reductions as opposed to H per cent wanting tax reductions without balancing the budget. Farm Subsidies Opposed Farmers preferred permitting agricultural commodi ties to find their own market level, 47 per cent marking their questionnaire against subsidies. Thirty-nine per cent, preferred flexible price supports. Only six per cent want ed high price supports anil production controls. Non-farmers, showed 51 er cent preference for flex ible price supports. Partnership construction of multiple-purpose dams was favored by 59.8 per cent of voters replying to the question naire. Public construction, by federal, state and publicly owned power bodies, was favored by 22.5 er cent. Only 17.7 percent favored construction entirely by the federal govern ment. Other replies lo the question "Do you favor" were: fed eral aid to build schools (in percentages) 53 yes, 10 no; in creased social security payments supported by larger payroll deductions, 48 yes, M no: federal health reinsur ance program, whereby the federal government would as sume exceptional risks to encourage expansion of private health insurance, 33 yes, 51 no;, exchange of atomic se crets between the United States and its allies, 37 yes, 15 ro. In al the above listings of veaulu, the "Do not know" percentage has been excluded. Question Of Representation The replies lo Kllsworlh's questionnaire raise the ques tion of representation in Congress. I do not believe that a member of Congress need always follow majority opinion of his constituents, lie usually has more information on any issue and a broader outlook than the average citizen, as the latter is more apt lo be influenced by the localized or provincial situation, liut when an opinion poll shows such a pronounced conservative trend, it. is questionable how well the people of Oregon are represented by mem bers of Congress who lean toward the opposile extreme. There already has been screams from the left-wing side that. Kllsworth's questionnaire was "loaded;" that it isn't a true reflection of opinion. Hut it is hard to escape the unusual percentage of replies and the exceptionally large number of additional comments accompanying many of the returns. Political observers have been very interested in what appears to be a very definite trend away from Socialism in elections all over the world. The replies to Kllsworth's questionnaire can be interpreted as indicating the same swing is evident in the Fourth Congressional District, of Oregon.

This is forcing millions of Amer ican voters to make one of those "agonizing reappraisals." Fact .Number One they have to face is the record of what hap pened in PJii. I The Democrats had built up the .' indispensability of President Hoose-i veil. He was elected for a fourth term even though he was obviously a sick man all through his last. ; year in office, lie died five months "later. 1 Knowing that President F.isen I bower has had a heart attack, there will be a calculated risk that I : he might suffer a relapse. He j micht be unable to carry on his job. . Arc the voters willing to assume I responsibility for that? In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) ped the project. Hereafter the over-1 time parker will be socked with the usual fill-cent fine. Ah, me! Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn. Still I The Prineville city council's ex periment points a moral that is of! considerable importance in the business world and it is a IU SINKSS world thai wo live in. The moral is this- YOC CAN'T SKI. I, IT IF YoCHE WILLING TO til'K IT i AWAY. Parking space is a part of the modern city's stock in trade. Hy selling it at so much per minute and COLLFCTIMI TltK PI K CHASK PHICK the city gains re venue wiih which to pay its opera ting expenses, such as police and fire protection, street repair, etc. Looked at in that liiml, the col ; lection of parking fees is strictly business transaction, lint when business principles art! not follow ed that is to say, when it is left up to the customer to pay or not lo pay it assumes the shape of a Lady Bountiful gift. j I expect that if a general mer ' chandise store left 11 up to its cusomers to pay ur not to pay a would find that a considerable number of them walked off with out paving, Human nature, you know, is human nature. That suggests another thought: If a business house should in - augurale the policy of leaving it ; up to its customers to pay or not to pay as they chose, it would i probably come m time lo be look ; ed upon as an KASY MAUK, and ; too many of its customers would tall into the habit of walking off with the merchandise and not pay j mg for it. 1 1 doubt if these customers who ! w a iked off without paying would properly appreciate what was be ing done for them. 1 m afraid that a majority of them would come to look upon the establishment with , a certain amount of contempt. l et's close w nh this thought : For nearly a decade, the I nited States of America has been shell ing out money in large sums for what it calls foreign aid. It has demanded little, if anything, in the ay of pa ment. merely hoping that the good w ill it would gain throughout the world would repay it for the money it has gi en aw ay Is that hope being reaiircd I wonder. There are time when t doubt it. Or put the question another way: Knowing the President's age and physical condition, would the American people be willing to con demn him to an unnaturally early breakdown by asking him' to as sume the heavy White House re sponsibilities for another four years? FACT NUMBER TWO is that President Kisenhower is not likely to cast aside his vice president, nicnani m. rsixon. What this means is that if Nip President in not able to run for a second term or if he is not able to complete a second term Nixon is his logical successor. ' A runaway Republican National Convention might upset this choice. But an open Kisenhower endorse ment of Nixon would make his re jection unlikely. As vice president, Nixon has so far given complete support to the Kisenhower policies. But there is some doubt that if Noxon should succeed to the presidency, the Ki senhower program of moderate progressivism would be continued. As one California (IOP leader puts it. tongue 111 cheek: ''The peo ple who support Nixon believe in repealing the income tax and with drawing from the I'niled Nations." The question for the voters, there fore, is whether they want a re treat from the Kisenhower pro gram. FACT NUMBER THREE is that there is still a sizable element in the Republican parly which does not approve of Kiscnhower's inter nationalism and limited progress ivism. This GOP Old Guard would pre fer to see Kisenhower succeeded by a more conservative president. Much of the support for an F.isen-hower-Nixon or preferably Kisen hower - Know-land ticket comes from this group. The question for the voters is whether they want to see a further swing to the right. FACT NUMBER FOUR is that there is a conceited effort being made to lighten the President's work load. I Such a reform has, of course, j been long overdue. 1 Some of the people who think Kisenhower goes too far towards liberalism would probably like to see this happen. They'd be perfectly w tiling to have an inactive President in the White House as an idealistic sym bol, with a more conservative fab met actually running the govern ment. The question for the voters is I whether they want a part-time t President continued in office. ! These are four stark and per haps inconsiderate questions to raise. But they are being freely discussed in Washington and prob ably every other crossroad m the country. And there is no reason why they shouldn't lie brought out in the open and freely delisted now. Forestry Dept.
