POLITICAL TREND
Charles V. 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.

WASHINGTON C EA ) Signs
are multiplving that President Ki
senhower will be persuaded to run
for a second term.
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.
