One Representative for Each
County Desired."
FIGHT COUNTED CERTAIN
Reapportionment Question Prom
ises to Be Storm Center at Com
ing Legislative Session.
Belief that every county In Oregon
should have at least one representa
tive in the lower house of the legis
lature is growing. This is a matter
which will come up when the legisla
ture meets in January and a special
committee Is appointed to reapportion
the districts of the senators and rep
resentatives. It promises to 'be a po
litical storm center, for no county
will want to surrender any of its
present representation and most of
them will want more than they now
have.
If the plans of certain lawmakers
are successful the people of the state
will be asked to change the constitu
tion so that the membership of the
house can be Increased from 60 to
some number sufficiently large to
carry out the programme. How large
the house should be under a new ar
rangement has not been determined,
even tentatively.
One District Biar One.
There are now 11 joint representa
tive districts and these Joint districts
range from two counties to six. For
Instance, Crook, reschutes, Jefferson,
Grant. Klamath and Lake counties
form a joint district and have two
joint representatives!. In the coming
session It happens that the two rep
resentatives come from the same
county and five of the counties in
the district are dependent on these
men who live within a few miles of
each other.
Among the members of the Mult
nomah delegation and others seat
tered throughout the state, it is being
advocated that every county have one
representative; that all joint districts
for the house be eliminated, and that
after each county has one representa
tive, the counties whose population
justifies them can have additional
members. On this basis 36 of the
present 60 members would be ae
counted for, and the remaining 24
members would have to be appor
tioned among the more populous
counties, such as Multnomah. Lane,
Marion, Clackamas and Washington.
Multnomah now has 12 representa
tives and one jointly with Clacka
mas; Marion has five: Lane. Linn,
Washington and Clackamas three
each
Rivalry Marks Elections.
East of the Cascades only three
counties can boast of their own rep-
representatlves, these being Baker,
Union and Umatilla, and Union also
has a half-interest with Wallowa in
another. All of the other counties of
Eastern ' Oregon, representing a good
half of the state, are In joint districts.
Representation is based on popula
tion, the federal census figures be
ing the foundation. With every coun
ty having Its own representative.
Eastern Oregon would nave 18 as
against 13 at present. Hood River and
Wasco are a Joint district, but are
allowed two joint members, so they
virtually have one each.
One of the disagreeable features of
joint districts is that usually there
are local rivalries and jealousies mix
ed up in the elections and one county
of a Joint district fights against
another county in the district and no
matter which county the Joint rep
resentative comes from the other
counties frequently feel that they are
being neglected and their Interests
ignored.
