THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON. MONDAY. JANUARY 8, 1945
SENATE COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
By what was obviously a proof reader's mistake an edi
torial in the Salem Statesman is made to say that Senator
Morse "succeeds to one of the powerful committees where
Rufus Holman served." Instead of "one" read "none" and
you have the writer's intended meaning and the fact, as well.
Morse's committee assignments are, to tell the truth, not very
good but the reason is not that given by the Statesman that
"The old seniority system is still working ..." It was not
seniority that gave Rufus Holman his places on powerful
committees. When he went into the senate he had no more
seniority than Wayne Morse had last week. It was the influ
ence of Oregon's Chas. L. McNary and Holman often spoke
of the fact.
The Statesman is right when it says that Morse does not
get a place on the committees for which he is peculiarly quali
fied and that we attribute to an ungenerous and reactionary
old guard control of the Republican party minority in the
senate. The club is not ready to accept whole hoartedly the
new member who displaced an oldster. However, as the
Statesman says, "Soon the senate will know he is there."
We agree with the Statesman in its appraisal of the
Cordon appointments. It says :
Senator Cordon Tared very well In his assignments, retain
ing his places on such highly Important committees as com
merce and reclamation, also on the less imporant library
committee. He obtained a coveted pliioe on the agriculture
committee, where Senator McNary long served and gave
strong representation to agriculture. Cordon also was placed
on the committee on public Jands, in which Oregon Is inter
ested. Cordon gave up places on committees on Indian -affairs
and postolfices and postroads, both Important; but ho
has a very full load on the five to which he has been named.
MARSHALL CORNETT
The state legislature began its 1945 session today. Des
chutes county shares Marshall Cornett's services in the senate
with four other counties and on that account we think you
may be interested in these biographical details that we find
in a recent issue of the Klamath Herald and News : '
Senator Cornett is a native of Kentucky, and was raised
in that Btato. When he cume to Oregon he located at Astoria,
and later went to Alaska as superintendent of a cannery. He
came to Klamath Falls In 1928, working briefly as an em
ployee of the Southern Pacific company and then going Into
the oil business. He was long engaged in oil distribution here,
and is still owner of a number of service stations. He also
was head of an automobile dealership firm here for a number
of years. His business and property Interests now include
part ownership of a radio broadcasting firm operating sta
tions in northeastern Oregon.
Big, good-looking, and successful, Cornett quickly won
friends and prestige when he went to the senate four years
ago. His committee appointments in the 1!'I2 session included,
chairmanship of the roads and highways committee, vlce
chairmanshlp of forestry and forest products, and member
ship on a number of others Including industries and irriga
tion, lie is a supporter of Senator Howard Helton, almost ,
certain to be named president of the 1945 senate, and un
doubtedly will receive similarly important committee ap
pointments this year.
Cornett represents not only Klamath county, but Pes
chutes, Crook, Jefferson and Lake counties, all in the 17lh
district. Ho believes, with other fair-minded people, that the
17th district should be divided, giving Central Oregon a
senator and Klamath. or Klamath and Lake together, a sena
tor. Although there are serious obstacles to this division
because of Us effect on other districts, the Justice of the plan
will eventually bring it about.
DESCHUTES MADE IT
At the time last week when we commented here on the
subject of E bond sales in Deschutes county the report from
the state headquarters was that the county had not made its
quota. On Saturday the word came through and was given out
in the news that the county had made 104 per cent of its E
bond quota and 154 per cent of its total quota of bonds of all
types. That is more like the usual Deschutes record to do
better than it is asked to do.
By purchasing bonds to u value half again as great as
the quota Deschutes kept pace with the rest of the country
which made an almost identical record. And, incidentally,
it is to bo noted that the three counties that, in spite of being
ahead of Deschutes in bond buying had failed to meet their
war chest quotas, are still in the failed column in that undertaking.

WHEN NEW VOKK WAS
YOUNG
I
In 1750 the home of Maj. Daniel
Lawrence, a sturdy house of
Dutch pattern, stood on William
street, near the corner of Wall.
New York was as quiet as a coun
try town in those days. There
were shade trees locust or pop
lar on all the streets; during
the summer nights the air was
full of the chirping of katydids,
and the inhabitants were awak
ened in the morning by the piping
of birds.
Behind the Lawrence house, and
belonging to it, there was a gar
den, an orchard of pear trees, a
stable and a press for making
cider. A dovecote and a dozen
beehives were just beyond the
garden. It was a quiet place, with
nothing to break the silence but
the. loud talk of the servants in
the kitchen and the clatter of
plates. Now and then Mistress
Lawrence or her daughter Eliza
beth played the spinet in the sit
ting room and its tinkling notes
ran quivering through the air. i
The family had a part in the
social life of the town, and occa
sionally the house was full of
company. Then the chatter of soft
feminine voices and loud mascu
line laughter ran all over the
house and garden.
Though It stood almost in the
center of the city of New York
the Lawrence place had a rural
air which flowed from the day's
activities, livei-y day the cows
were driven through the streets
the afternoon. From it the East
River could be seen, and the
heights of Brooklyn.
There were, of course, no run
ning water, toilets or bathrooms,
for such conveniences did not
exist in the middle of the 18th
century. Water for drinking and
washing was brought to the Law
rence house in casks by a con
tractor who made a monthly
charge for this service. Many
Manhattan families had wells on
their premises, but there was
none on the Lawrence place, for
when they had gone down 40
ffeet the well diggers had struck

ter In three-fourths of the country
and therefore has to be readjust
ed.
So here you are again, right
where you came in three years
ago. with supplies of meat, sugar,
butter and processed foods far be
low demand.
Besides, you're eating too much.
The figures show annual per cap
ita consumption of 33 quarts more
milk, 21 pounds more meat than
in prewar years. Only reason the
average citizen is eating 32 cans
less store-bought processed foods.
six pounds less butter, 16 pounds
less sugar than in prewar years is
that the supplies aren t there.

the ground cleared of weeds.
Like, all other streets In Ihls

simply a muddy or dusty road
