TO END FUND DRIVES
With the. arrangement made in connection with the state
war chest campaign for the collection of funds for causes
formerly supported by individual drives Deschutes county has
something in the nature of a community chest. The boy scouts,
the camp fire girls and service men activities in Bund and
Redmond are supported so that it is not necessary to raise
money by separate campaigns. One or two organizations that
have always sent a solicitor about the state sought funds here
last year. We hope that an arrangement may be made this
year to make their calls unnecessary. The community will
then, by its single war and community chest donation, free
itself of the dilliculties associated with a variety of drives.
We have particularly in mind the effort of the Salvation
army to raise funds in the county in addition to those made
available to it through the war chest. The subject has been
discussed here betore.
Before the war chest was inaugurated in the fall of 1943
there was an annual call here by an Army representative who
asked for contributions on account of the mothers and chil
dren from the county cared for at the Army homes. These
homes were provided for in the war chest total and most of
us expected that as a result, there would be no further solici
tation. Last year, however, the Army representative appeared
agaiir urging, then, the need of public support for other Salva
tion army work.
Wo know that the Salvation army should be supported in
all its activities. We believe that in other communities where
one annual drive is made the whole Army fund is raised. We
hope that this year a way may be found to meet the Army's
needs in this community without further solicitation. County
wide drive activity will then be reduced to the war chest and
the Red Cross campaign. The polio collection and the Christ
mas seal sale will continue but neither of these is on a drive
basis.
The Eternal Optimist
COLUMBIA BASIN AND CENTRAL VALLEY
The Pendleton East Oregonian quotes, with apparent
approval, Washington correspondence in the Spokane Spokesman-Review
on the subject of California's Central valley situ
ation which led, through the battle over the Elliott amend
ment, to the recent death of the rivers and harbors bill. The
correspondent compared the Central valley proposal to the
situation on the Columbia basin project saying: "Only a few
years ago congress rather enthusiastically passed the anti
speculation law applicable to the Columbia basin irrigation
project and required that all large holdings within that
project be chopped up into family-farm units before they
could receive water."
Well, that's not the way we heard it and it seems desirable
to got the facts straight as a basis for sound conclusions.
There were large holdings in the Columbia basin project.
It would have been unjust to force (heir owners to subdivide
and to take the appraised value of their lands for the family
farm units. To do so would have forced a loss on account of
their building's ami equipment. Accordingly it was provided in
the law that the government would buy the big ranches, sub
divide them and stand the loss itself.
In the Central valley these same conditions exist but in a
more exaggerated degree. Perhaps the Elliott amendment was
not the proper cure but neither is it right to force the sub
division of an 8,00(1 acre vineyard as would be the case as one
ownership there. Nor can we quite see the Columbia basin
solution applied and the government acquiring the whole
thing and cutting it up into 80 acre tracts. That would mean
simply economic destruction.
The news from The Dalles lias it that it was on a tip from
the police there that our alert Bund otlicers picked up those
two Washington state cons last week. The men were finger
printed there but turned loose before I he prints were chucked.
That suggests a good slogan for the Bend force, "You finger
print 'em ; we catch 'em."
Marshficld is to be Coon Bay permanently and with the
change in name it will change to a manager form of govern
ment. Here's to a prosperous future for the coast city.

All the Randall family except
Lucy, the eldest daughter, was at
the breakfast table when Swain
joined them.
At his elbow stood a while
maid in a dark-gray dress with a
yellow apron. She put before him
a bowl of hominy and milk which
had been healed and then sweet
ened with molasses. Smiling, she
said: "Kggs this morning, sir?"
"Yes, Minnie," he replied. "A
dish of battered eggs." (Battered
eggs were what we call scrambled
eggs today.)
In the early 18th century Ne
groes were seldom used as house
servants in Virginia. All able
bodied slaves, both men and
women, were needed for work in
the tobacco fields. Another rea

"Stay a month!" Mary Randall
exclaimed. "What with keeping
house, looking after the children,
and watching servants why, if I
stay abroad even overnight I'm
as restless as a cow that's lost
her calf."
Her husband spoke up hastily,
and chaifgcd the subject. He was
sure that his wife would talk for
an hour on her troubles. "That
roan mare of yours, Ned," he re
marked, "looks like a fine bit of
horseflesh. Why don't you race
her?"
"Oh, I don't know. I've enough
race horses as it is. Little Prin
cess makes a nice saddle horse."
"I'm sure she does."

HOW ABOUT MLXTNO.MAH?
(Oregonian)
Noting the resignation from the
senate of Dr. J. A. Best of Pendle
ton (his successor is the able
state representative, Carl Eng
dahl), The Bend Bulletin has
given editorial encouragement to
wr.ni.tnr Marshall E. Cornett of
Klamath Falls, who has promised
to make another effort to get the
legislature to reapportion nis
over-sized district. The bill intro
duced by Senator Cornett in the
1941 session would have reduced
the senatorial representation of
Umatilla, Morrow and Union
counties and increased the repre
sentation, by redisricting, of the
five counties for which Senator
Cornett is the sole spokesman
Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson, Lake
and Klamath.
Umatilla county, with a 19-10 j
population of 2G.030, has a sena-t
tor of its own, and Umatilla, Mor-:
row and Union counties, with a i
combined population of 47,766, !
share another senator. Senator ;
Cornetl's district, on the other
hand, had a population of 72,996 !
in 1940, and it is greater now. The j
Bulletin, emphasizing this dis-.
crepancy, also points to an opin-1
ion bv the late Attorney-General ;
I. II. Van Winkle which held than
the legislature may change dis
tricts at any time.
One of these days the legisla
ture is going to have to face the
facts and the constitutional re
quirement, long disregarded, that
apportionment of senators and
representatives among the coun
ties shall be based on population,
ttnr it is a nrosnoot which causes
der, for if honestly earned out it
would give Multnomah county a
much stronger delegation. Indeed,

tors are opposed to apportionment

It is obvious that the district
represented by Senator Cornett
has grown too large for a single
senator. Jt is also obvious that
Multnomah county, with more
than one-third of the state's pop

with less than one-fourth of the
senators and representatives now
apportioned to it. The question is:
Will the legislature agree upon a

rOPESTERS who are already trying to write the President's mes
sage to the new (Jongress predict that it must outline some kind ot
definite program for providing the 60 million postwar jobs he men
tioned as a "must" in his campaign speech at Chicago last October.
Just after that speech was delivered, the Presi
dent is supposed to have re-eived a telegram from
Vice President Henry Wallace expressing fears that
the 60 million figure was a little high and that the
President might be caught up on it. In this same
wire, however, the Vice President reassuringly
stated his belief that Roosevelt would carry the
Middle West.
The reply that came back was to tho effect ot
"You carry the Middle West and I'll take care of the
60 million jobs."
The President didn't do so well about carrying
the Middle West, but the 60 million job question
is sun to oe answered.
Assistant Secretary of State Dean Achcson characterized himself as
"the only live turkey left in the Department of State after Thanks

up on Capitol Hill being inquisitioned by the Senate Foreign Rela

After the six were confirmed, they were presented by Stettinius at
his regular State Deparunent noon press confeience. Finally Stettin
ius introduced Achcson, "the man who has been running the depart
ment for the lost two weeks."
"These little pigs went to market," said Achcson pointing to the
line-up of six new assistant secretaries. Then he pointed to himself.
."And Uiis little pig stayed home."

How very little some Congressmen know about the legislation they
pass was frankly confessed to by Sen. Burton K. Wheeler of Montana
while the additional clerk hire biU was under consideration in the
closing days of the 78th session.
"How many times are members of the Senate compelled to vote on
legislation they have not had the opportunity to study and under
