REDISTRICTING
Having urged the injustice of the present senatorial district
eet-up as between Klamath, Iake, Jefferson, Crook and Des
chutes on the one hand and Umatilla, Morrow and Union on
the other we have been glad to read that Senator Cornett
would introduce a bill to bring about a change. Here is what
Malcolm Epley has sent to the Klamath Herald and News on
the subject by way of editorial correspondence irom balem :
Another effort to erase a long-standing injustice in sena
torial representation will be launched next week by Senator
Marshall Cornett of the 17th district.
The Klamath senator has disclosed his Intention of Intro
ducing a measure to redistrict a portion of the state in a
manner to eliminate startling inequalities which stubborn
senates previously have refused to touch.
The Cornett plan, which has been forecast In this column,
calls for elimination of the 19th district including Morrow,
Umatilla and Union counties. A new district would then be
formed out of Klamath and Lake counties, now part of the
17th district. Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties would
continue as the 17th district.
Umatilla, Union and Morrow would still have representa
tion, of course. Umatilla now is a district in itself and is
over-represented because it has one senator alone and shares
a senator with Morrow and Union. Union already is In the
joint Union-Wallowa district while Morrow can be added to
another district without harm to its representation status.
The population figures of the areas involved in the pro
posed re-vamping plainly show the justice of Senator
'. Cornett's plan.
-i There are eight counties of northeastern Oregon with a
total population of 79,805, and with five state senators. The
17th district (Cornett's) has five counties with a population
of 72,996 and one senator.
(The eight counties mentioned above are Baker, Gilliam,
Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa and Wheeler.)
This is an old story to the legislators down here at Salem.
No reasonable person would deny the injustice of the situa
tion and only unworthy political factors have prevented its
remedy in past sessions.
Whether such forces will work again against Just reap
portionment remains to be seen, but Senator Cornett has been
laboring vigorously to line up senate support for the
measure.
That has taken time, which explains the reason why the
proposal is coming out late in session. The arguments are so
, clear in its favor that there should be no great loss of time in
bringing it to issue. It is not a new complicated proposal, but
rather one that everyone understands. Such bills have been
before the legislature in past years.
The personal angle Is the only real danger to the proposal.
Eliminating a district means eliminating a senator, and
there's the rub.
The senator representing the 19lh district, which would be
eliminated, is Rex Ellis of Pendleton. Last session it was the
senators' clubby feelings for Mr. Ellis that defeated the same
proposal. (It passed the house of representatives but lost in
the senate in 1943.)
This Is the personal situation In regard to Mr. Ellis. Ills
torm.oxplrqs before another session of the legislature. So also
does the term of Senator Carl Engdahl of Pendleton, who rep
resents the Umatilla district which would survive the pro
posed reapportionment.
So Mr. Ellis and Mr. Engdahl could both run for the Uma
tilla senate seat In 1946.
Hence, it is seen that the plan docs not squeeze Senator
Ellis out. He has to run anyhow if ho wishes to return to the
senate and there will be an opening in his home district.
SAYfe LEAGUE "OFF BASE"
It has been a satisfaction to learn that we are not alone in
our criticism of the league of Oregon cities for its effort to se
cure the approval (through senate bill 195) of an abbreviated
budget publication. F. II. Young, manager of Oregon Business
& Tax Research, Inc., and an Oregon tax and opinion expert,
writes in a recent legislative news letter :
Your correspondent, in a recent public lira ring, told' the
League of Oregon Cities' representatives that thf ir organiza
tion was off base (being supported by taxpayers' money
through city appropriations), in suggesting through SB 1!),
that taxpayers be satisfied with an "outline or tabular"
form of local budget information. Tax spenders are slow
to realize that taxpayers' indignation might boil over some
time unless confidence is maintained by adequate informa
tion. jgf
Manager Young was right and we have an idea that he
would agree with our contention that the league cannot justify
appearances by its officers or members tit league (and, there
fore, taxpayer) expense for the discussion of controversial
subjects before legislative committees.

Midnight Curfew
In Quiet Manner
(Br United Prsss)
The entertainment industry
rang down the curtain on after-
midnight drinking and amusement
last night but there were still
campaigns afoot today for modi
fication of the nationwide cur
few.
Compliance with the curfew,
which became effective last mid
night, appeared complete from
coast to coast despite an overtone
of grumbling from New York,!
Chicago and other large centers
of wee-hour gayety. J
Nightclub owners in New York
met in a secret session after Chi
cago operators reported they
would ask War Mobilization Direc
tor James F. Byrnes to modify
the curfew so that they can stay
open until 2 a.m. and close one
night eaqh week. .
No announcement was made aft
er the New York meeting, but it
was rumored that diamond horse-
show owner Billy Rose and other
owners discussed raising a $50,000
fund for a Washington lobby.
Rep. Clare Boothe, R., Conn.,
joined the modification line with
two suggestions. She asked that
all nightclubs be allowed to open
an hour later than usual and then
stay open until 1 a.m. instead of
midnight.
If that wasn't feasible. Mrs
Luce said, large cities such as
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
San Francisco, and Detroit should
be allowed an hour more of amuse
ment than the rest of the nation.
The curfew, most drastic home'
front directive since the ban on
horse racing last month, slipped
into wartime living quietly. There
were no demonstrations and police
ana war manpower commission
agents reported no deliberate vi
olations.
Police On .lob
Police In New York patrolled
the night club and amusement
sections under orders to arrest no
one. They were told merely to
warn violators after taking down
their names and the names of
patrons in the presence of two
police witnesses.
Philadelphia police took no part
in checking compliance with the
curfew. However, WMC agents
were reported making the rounds
of the Quaker city's night clubs
and taprooms.
Chicago crowds dispersed quick
ly after midnight and the streets
soon were deserted. By 1 A.m.
Randolph street, Chicago's Broad
way, was empty except for the
cops on their beat and an occa-
Sqn6 (o Remember
sional cab.
Bend's Yesterdays
IFTEEN YEARS AGO
(Feb. 27, 1930)
(From Tile Bulletin Film)
Snowfall Is general throughout
Central Oregon, with one inch
dropping In Bend.
W. L. Kedeman holds a "sur
prise party" at his home, 335 East
Quimby street, and announces
that he will build a $5,000 home.on
Irvin avenue next to the J. D.
Donovan Home. Redman is
ownerv of the Bend dairy. .
Phil R. Brooks, owner of the
Pilot Butte inn, solicits bids from
Bend contractors for the building
of a new addition to the hotel.
Dr. R. D. Ketchum, chairman
of the school board, tolls 280
parents the need for additional
school facilities.
THIS aiOKK: Uhe disastrous
news he receives Just before
his concert so unnerves Chopin
that his entire performance is
a liasco. He dreams that night
of Professor Eisner's prophecy
long ago that his music would
one day speak tor the voice of
Poland. Ine unfinished Polo
naise now occupies all of his
thoughts.
XX
THE INVITATION
In the morning he was at the
piano, in his dressing gown, work
ing out the great themes when
Jozef Eisner, rubbing the sleep
(and perhaps the dreams also)
from his eyes, looked into the
room. Frederic heard him.
"CJood morning, Professor." -"Humph.
You slept?"
"Not very much. '
" I am not going to quarrel,
Frederic. How can I quarrel? I
know what was in your head. I
don t even blame you
"Any notices?"
" Tch, tch "
Frederic continued playing. The
themes were taking shape.
" Good. Very strong."
"Do you catch it, Professor?" '
"Eh?"
"The spirit of Poland?"
" Yes, of course. Indeed."
"Well, Professor, what did they
say the critics the great critics
of Paris? Come, come, you have
every morning paper in your
room and I know it. Why, with
out your papers "
"-Madame Mercier did bring a
few up. I don't lie, Frederic,
There's no need to lie."
"And how bad are they?"
Jozef Eisner put his chubby
hand to his hair. "Well, not bad.
But not enthusiastic, I would say.
Just more or less ordinary "
"Really!"
" Not exactly ordinary not
exactly. What's said it said. Crit
ics! What do they know? Noth
ing! There is not a critic in the
world " He returned to his room
and came back with a bundle of
morning papers. "Stuff stuff-
nothing but stuff the most
abominable enough to turn your
stomach "
Then something caught his eye
as he was contemptuously leafing
tnrougn them. He held the paper
to his nose. He adjusted his spec
tacles. He held the paper farther
away, at arm's length. " Tch, tch
this looks almost intelligent '
"Read it. Professor. I am in a
mood for anything."
jozei jMsner read. A ge
nius 1 "
"Sarcasm," Frederic said.
"Not exactly. Frederic." He
continued: "'A genius such as
this Frederic Chopin appears only
once In a hundred years !'
" umm! How is that! In print!
Right here just as I said tch,
ten Ho said: " ' A star has
risen among us ' " Jozef Eisner s
chest swelled. " ' A star has
risen among us brighter than we
nave ever known ' "
He removed his spectacles. He
wiped them on his sleeve.
Jvrencrlc stared.
Jozef Eisner returned his spec
tacles to his nose. He fastened
them behind his ears, in a busi
nesslike manner, then read the

article, a long one, down to the
very end without saying another
word. Then he looked up. "What
I always say, Frederic no one so
important in all the world as a
critic."
"Who wrote it? Some school
boy?"
Jozef Eisner adjusted his spec
tacles again, though certainly
they didnt need adjusting.
"Schoolboy, nothing! Whoever it
Is it's the most brilliant critic in
Paris! I don't think it. I have the
knowledge! I know!"
" Someone you called on the
other day, no doubt.".
"No doubt." Eisner scanned the
column again. "George Sand!"
"Madame Sand?"
"No! Just plain George Sand!"
" The lady we met the other
day."
"Tch, tch. It doesn't make a
bit of difference "
Madame Mercier came into the
room without knocking.
"For you." She handed Jozef
Eisner a letter, then waited for
him to open it. It was not every
lodger who received letters by
special messenger a messenger,
by tne way, wno came and left
by carriage.
I don t have to sign?"
'No, Monsieur. It came by car
riage."
"What!"
"Yes, Monsieur."
"Tch, tch." Jozef Eisner look
ed at the letter. "Humph. Not for
me." He handed it to the aston
ished Frederic. "For you." i
Madame Mercier stretched her
neck as Frederic tore open the
letter. 1
"Bad news? You know what
Frederic, it never
they say,
rains
Frederic read the letter twice In
silence.
"How can it be worse?" Jozef
Eisner asked. "Read it, Frederic."
Frederic read it a quiet Voice:
" 'My dear Chopin: It would
please the Duchess of Orleans "
' What!"
Frederic continued: " 'it you
and your teacher would attend a
reception at her home tonight." "
Jozef Eisner's chest expanded.
He worked his jaw, his head
stretched from his collar in the
direction of Madame Mercier.
"From the Duchess of Or
leans, Madame!"
"No," said Frederic.
"What!"
"No, Professor, not from the
Duchess of Orleans "
"Tch, tch."
"The letter is signed George
Sand."
" The Duchess of Orleans--!"
Jozef Eisner gazed into the startl
ed face of Madame Mercier.
"George Sand? Humph. How
could she know it would please
the Duchess? Eh?"

We thought you would be interested in knowing of the
care our returning wounded receive on hospital trains.
This is the procedure. We are asked by the Army or
Navy to make up a hospital train with various types of
cars. We assemble the cars, sometimes from distant
points. The cars are inspected, thoroughly cleaned and
pre-heated.
The train is then moved to the hospital receiving sta
tion where the wounded are carefully taken aboard.
When the train pulls out, a Train Commander a
commissioned medical officer is in charge. To assist
him, we assign an experienced railroad representative to
accompany the train. On board, too, are Army or Navy
nurses and enlisted medical corpsmen who expertly care
for the wounded, night and day.
En route, the engineers, firemen, conductors, brake
men all the trainmen are thinking of every man
board. They know that sudden starts and stops can
cause discomfort to the wounded. That is why they try
to handle these hospital trains extra gently.
Dispatchers all along the line make every effort to
keep hospital trains rolling with the fewest possible
stops.
Schedules are worked out in advance. On movements
where some of the wounded are assigned to different
hospitals, a car or cars will be detached at junction
points. These cars will then be attached to regular trains
for movement to other hospitals. -
Southern Pacific is keenly aware of its great responsi
bility in moving the wounded. Every skill is brought
into play to operate hospital trains smoothly, efficiently
and on time.
These are Southern Pacific's most important trains.
i
Many of the less critically wounded travel on our regular
trains. So if you find it difficult to secure a Pullman
reservation, even for essential travel, it may be because
some wounded man is occupying the space that other
wise might have been given to you. We know you'll
agree these reservations are more urgent than yours.
