Alternate on Reapportionment
The sticker on legislative reapportionment is
to get the legislature to act. Ours hasn't since
1911. As was argued in the constitutional con
vention of members will not vote to put
themselves (or their iellow members out of of
fice. Various plans have been: -proposed to re
quire action for reapportionment, udi as giving
authority to the state board of control, to the
secretary of state, and even to giving injunctive
power to the supreme court. The most that was
accomplished in the last legislature was to au
thorize an interim committee to study and re
port 'on the subject. '
The Eugene Register-Guard has picked up a
new Texas plan for curing legislature's default.
The gist of it is as follows:
1. Reapportionment is still a function of the -
legislature, BUT - - , .
2. If the legislature fails to act. the dutierare
delegated to a legislative re-districting board.
3. Members of this board are the lieutenant
governor, speaker of the House, attorney gener
al, the comptroller of public accounts and com
missioner of the general land office.
4. Within 90 days after final adjournment of
the legislature (if it has failed to reapportion),
this board must meet and any three will consti-'
tute a quorum. " ;
5. Any reapportionment adopted by the board
has the force of law and does not require the
governor's signature.
C. The Supreme Court of Texas has the power
t issue a writ of mandamus to compel action
by the board if it tries to dodge.
, This doesn't prescribe any loraula, but it does
set up machinery for action. Reapportionment is
primarily a legislative function and Texas has
included two legislative officials on its board. In
considering reapportionment . Oregon's ' interim
committee should study the Texas plan, also
those of other states, looking toward successive
reapportionments by others than the legislature
If the latter fails or refuses to function. In the
face of that alternate legislators would get busy
themselves. 4 "
Tax Stimulus to Plant Construction
The tax canopy extended by the 1950 law has
induced many corporations to launch new con
struction. Worst of the big steel companies ara
in the swim with new plants, ajid on down the
line to smaller concerns. First you get a. certifi
cate of necessity from the government authority
dealing with defense plants, and that permits
accelerated amortization of facilities. Thus some
axe able to write off the investment in five years.
The tax advantage is attractive, but is not
without its gamble. Thus a corporation which
invests $1,000,000 with permission to amortize it
all in five years can deduct $200,000 a year from
Its income before being subject to corporation
tax or excess profits tax. This might help the
corporation escape the heavy excess profits tax.
The catch however is that when the plant is
fully depreciated no more can be deducted for
this purpose. Thus in the sixth year the cor
poration gets no charge-off for the investment.
If by that time the excess profits tax has been
cancelled or the corporation rate reduced then
th company is ahead of the game. But suppose
the rates are higher, then the corporation gets
tuck. - '
- In the end the cost of the investment is charg
ed against income, whether in five years or 20
tr 50 years.
TVie acceleration of amortization does help the
corporation in its financing if it is borrowing the
money for the job. The lender will make better
terms if he sees the money coming back in five
years than if repayments are strung out over 29
years.! ;
There is no doubt that the effect of this spe
cial provision in the law has encouraged indus
trial expansion and that some of it is very val
uable in the business of rearming steel for ex
ample; It is too early to say whether corpora
tions have gained much tax-wise or not. In six
years some may wish they hadn't asked for the
certificates of necessity, f
Britain's and Iran's! Dilemma
Iran can confiscate the property of the Anglo
Iranian Oil company, but it cannot force. the
British employes to work at the great refinery
at Abadan or in the adjacent oilfields. If they
will not, then the Iran government would be up
against it for competent technicians. It is doubt
ful if Americans would move: in to take their
places. The result may be the shutting down,
temporarily at least, of the world's largest re
finery. That would hurt the west as well as Iran.
It would stop the flow of royalties which has
kept the government afloat, and would stop the
flow of fuel which powers British and European
industry and shipping. Not a pleasant prospect
. either way. - i
The Iranians are flushed with their newly as
serted power, and few cool heads may be found
among them. The truculence of the Iranian offi
cials in refusing to compromise with the repre
sentatives of the oil company ..makes it difficult
for bur Ambassador Grady to work out an
agreement.
-, Russia is hardly an immediate menace, unless
military action is resorted to? because the oil
fields are far from its borders; But the presence
of Russia doubtless serves to estop Britain from
resort to force. Maybe the cure is to turn the
shutoff valves and let the operation go dark for
a time. Wringing of hands over the British and
Iranian dilemma will do little good; so about all
we can do in this country is to let nature take
its course. j 'I

Marriner Eccles is one of the last of the brig
ade brought to Washington in the early period
of the new deal. A member of the famous Eccles
family of Utah, he went to Washington in 1934
as assistant to the secretary ; of the treasury,
' but soon was shifted to the federal reserve board
where he became chairman of the board in 1936.
In 194 S President Truman dropped him as chair
man but asked him to remain on the board. In
his book published this week, "Beckoning Fron
tiers" Eccles attributes his demotion to the op
position of the Giannini banking interests in
California, because the federal reserve board
had initiated proceedings to break up the Trans
america domination of west coast banking.' .
In the war and postwar period Eccles and the
board labored to the utmost to counter the for
ces of inflation. They had. succeeding rows with
the treasury department which finally went to
the White house, and even the purported agree-
. ment there was later challenged by Eccles.

Yugoslavian Leaders Tough, Nationalistic
Not Bad Friends to Have in a. Tight Spot
1
6
By Joseph AImp
BELGRADE, June 22 What
manner of men are the leaders
of the new Yugoslavia? It is
Important to know, since -this
little Balkan city, now heavy
scented by the
blossoming
lime trees and
almost gay in
the brilliant
summer weath- '
r. is the capi-
tal of one of the
vital strategic
bastions of the
free world. And v
ft is- necessary I
to Inquire be-J
group ' of men
who grimly hold this Yugoslav
btion under perpetual threat of
Soviet aggression as so wildly
unlike any political leaders any
where else in the world.
Luckily the grea transforma
tion of Yugoslav policy both in
ternal and external, has, among
other things, removed the tor
ta offer a rough sort of portrait
of one of these men, sketched, so
to speak during a series of long
and intimate conversations dur
ing these last days.
This Yugoslav leader, then, is
a massive, youngish man with
an air ot restrained violence.
And the first hint that strikes
you, when you talk to him
about himself, is the incredible
amount of violent experience he
has-; crammed into so relatively
short a life.
To be specific, he got his re
Eftious training as stern as any "
Jesuits's from the communist
party while still a boy. He then
plunged into five years of un
relenting partisan war, losing a
much-loved wife and being
heavily wounded himself. Vic-
tory was hardly celebrated be
fore the ruthless purges began,
to dear away the remnants of
the Yugoslavia of the- past.
Th-re followed the break with
thv. Kremlin, for him a deep
motional crisis involving n
j
foundations of his faith. And
now he squarely faces the men
ace of another, still more terri
ble war. i
As a result, his .personality
seems to have been eroded
down to its bedrock. He is not
inhuman; he loves his new young
wife; he adores his children; he
likes sports and is vain of being
a good athlete still. Nor is he
lacking, in ai rough, mordant
humor, which! he uses like an
axe. Of one i statesman-stuffed
shirt, he remarked, for Instance,
that "he had made his success by
courage; whenever be saw a
corpse, he dared to steal its
shoes or at least its shoe laces."
And of Stalin, whom he knows
a little, he remarked that "es
pionage is one of his pastimes;
Stalin plans kidnappings by the
M.G.B. to amuse himself, the
way Roosevelt! used to play with
.stamps" i - 1
Yet this man's more human
side IS dominated, as the char
acter of his jokes suggests, by
his political preoccupation. He
is far from being : a one-track
mind. Indeed, he is a student of
history, and this reporter has
found few men with whom it
is more interesting to talk about
the history of; recent years. I
(He maintained for example,
that the Politburo genuinely
meant to carry out both the
fifty-fifty division of Yugosla
via arranged by Churchill and
Stalin, and the now-forgotten
provision of the Yalta pact guar
anteeing Soviet support for
Chiang Kai-shek. In proof he
offered startling new evidence
that Stalin had. attempted to
force Marshal Tito to bring
King Peter back to this country
and to drive Mao Tse-tung into
a highly unfavorable coalition
with the Chinese Nationalists.
And be quite logically explained
this . Soviet policy as - having
originated in fear of the West's
wartime strength, and as having
been quickly abandoned be
cause of America's disastrous
postwar demofrvj yTalion : s ,
- - " - i r : i
But even history, which he
has helped to make, means far
less to this man than his country's'
problems, its position in the world
and its future course. -
To all these questions, he once
thought he knew the answers. In
the harsh time after the war, he
raised no finger to save even old
friends, because he truly be
lieved in the pattern being im
posed on Yugoslavia. But when
the designers of that pattern,
the monsters of the Kremlin,
sought to enslave Yugoslavia, ht
began to wonder whether the
pattern itself ; was right.
Nowhe is groping for a dif
ferent pattern, easier, more free
and more humane, which will
be better for his people. No one
can tell where that queer grop
ing will lead.: In a country that
is still essentially a police state
ruled by a single party, no one
should be over-optimistic sbout
the end result. . Yet one can at
least be i certain of one thing
about this man and of the others
like him.; Nothing will stop him
from fighting for his country's
independence and integrity.
.-
He expects, on the whole, to
have to do so. He has no illu
sions about what the struggle
will be like, for he also ex
pects the Kremlin to try to
destroy his people, as the Baltic
peoples and the Volga Germans
have been destroyed already. He
has thought about the matter a
great deal he will tell you, for
instance j that "the Western
Europeans were ruined when
they let the Germans occupy
them without firing a shot;
what the losses are does not
matter, you must resist-all-out
from the first" And of his own
view of f the future, he says
without a trace of grandilo
quence, We shall fight to the
last man,; and alone if need be."
Whatever else they may be,
such men are not bad friends to
have in a tight spot.

The most immediate concern
was the needs of the British fleet
and air forces. Any tieup in that

time when, as the state depart

The long-term matter of sup
ply was not considered serious.
Increased production in Iraq,
Arabia, Venezuela and the Unit

quickly, and vastly increased re
fining facilities are due to go
into production soon anyway.
But loss of the Abadan refinery
might cause local shortages, espe
cially- in India, Pakistan and
Britain, for a time. And the loss
of the Iranian oil business would
be a serious blow to Britain's
economy, which also is important
to the United States.
A stoppage in Iran also would
have political repercussions else
where in the Middle East.
The second largest refinery in
the area is at Haiia, where the
British also are involved in dif
ficulties. It was designed to han
dle the produce of a pipeline
to Iraq. But Iraq closed down
