"VOTING BY ELECTRICITY" Representative Estos Kefauver, of Tennessee, has writ ten a book entitled "A Twentieth Century Congress" in which, we learn from the Oregonian, it is proposed that elec tric voting apparatus be installed in the senate and the house. According to Kefauver, as reported by the Oregonian, "24 legislative days are consumed by the house and sixteen by the senate each year just in answering roll calls." With electric apparatus "all members would respond simultane ously simply by pressing a button at their seats." With such a system as now used in Texas and Virginia Mr. Kefauver contends that an entire state senate or house can register its vote in 21 seconds. Not having seen the Tennessee representative's book we cannot discuss his proposal on the basis of the stated terms covering this subject of voting by electricity. We wonder, however, whether he has explained fully the disadvantages of such procedure and we wonder that the Oregonian has not touched on them whether Mr. Kefauver did so or not. The essential difficulty is found in- the phrase, "pressing a button at their seats." That presupposes, of course, that . when a vote comes up the members are in their seats and that is not at all the case. They are scattered all over the lot, many that is in their offices, in restaurants, in committee rooms. Some are on the floor- Let something develop that requires their presence, a quorum call or a vote, for instance, and bells ring in all places where a member is likely to be and in due course he goes to the floor and responds. "In due course," we say, meaning that he will hasten or take his time depending on the place of his name in the alphabetical list. The process is, indeed, a time consuming one but its in herent difficulties are hardly to be remedied by electrical voting for the simple reason already stated members are not ordinarily all in their seats at all times or even most of the time. If it is answered to this that electrical voting would force members to be in their seats we counter with an expression of doubt. Prove us wrong and we come up with another reply that such forced attendance would not save but, in fact, waste time because the periods that members were in their seats would be time lost from necessary committee and other work. In state legislatures, on the contrary, we believe that elec trical voting would save time and we think that the other states might well follow the examples already set by Texas and Virginia. If the method is ever adopted in Oregon it will be found that the installation of the necessary equip ment will be simple for, as the second and final report of the capitol reconstruction commission said : The necessary conduits and space for recording devices have been provided in the two legislative chambers lor use in case the method of recording votes by machine is ever adopted. : r jtu-'1...1... ..i Senator Wayne Morse denies Henry Wallace's statement that he would go along with a third party movement. That way lies oblivion, which Mr. Morse simply couldn't stand. For the time being the good old democratic party seems to be meeting the senator's needs. Insurance Man Joins Bend Staff Thomas M.

Bend's Yesterdays (From Tile Bulletin Files ) Washington Column By Peter Edson (KEA Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C. The parade to congress of ' special interests wanting government-guaranteed subsidies to keep going is appar ently without end. Now it's some 887 operators of high production cost U. S. copper, lead and zinc mines. Their pet bill for a $-100 million S80 million a year for five years subsidy plan will be up before the house soon. And unless they get it, extend ing their wartime premium price plan under which, they will have received S345 million in the five years ending June 30, many of those marginal mine operators claim they will have to close down. They don't want it to happen. They never had subsidies before the war, but they learned to like them. They claim that if they shut their mines down now and for long, it will be Impossible to reopen. They claim closing will throw 6,000 mines out of work. They claim congress must do something to aid small business and fight monopoly the bigger, lower cost mines that can operate and make money without subsidy. Finally, these high-cost producers claim the U. S. should do some thing to build up its stockpile of strategic metals, for another war. Under urging of the marginal mine operators, two bills have been introduced in congress to keep them going. The one by Sen. Arthur V. Watkins of Utah is fair ly simple and of short range. It would authorize the government to continue subsidizing copper, lead and zinc production until the remaining $40 million of last year's $100 million appropriation for premium pavments is expend ed. The other, house bill is far more sweeping. It is backed by Con gressmen Fussell of Nevada, Al len of Illinois, Harless of Arizona, Hill of Colorado, Meyer of Kan sas, and others. After being ap proved by a mining subcommittee, the bill was hung up for over five weeks in Chairman Allen's house rules committee. But it has now been reported out and will probably pass the house. Instead of confining subsidies to copper, lead and zinc, the Rus sell bill, as it is called, would cover all the 50 scarce metals on the army-navy munitions board critical list. A new Office of Materials sep arate from the Bureau of Mines would be set up in the department of interior to run the program. Its director would have power to say what subsidies are paid to whom and for what metals. Sub jected to pressure from ever marginal mine owner in the coun try and with $80 million a year to pass out, this official might get an awful pushing around. Bureau of mines has opposed the Russell bill. Its experts are not convinced that subsidies will conserve the domestic supply of scarce metals. They have estimat ed the U. S. now has only a 25 year reserve of copper, lead, and zinc in the ground. A subsidy on all scarce metals production, it is argued, would cause over-production. Th; would force down the price. That in turn would make it necessary to pay still higher subsidies to meet the difference between low market LET US CHECK OVER YOUR CAR FOR SUMMER DRIVING PLEASURE .

This could lead to a vicious down ward price spiral which would cost the government far more than the $400 million. ' The war department has taken no official position on this sub sidy policy question, believing that it is up to congress. Under secretary of war Kenneth C. Roy all, however, in testimony before the house mining committee has pointed out that over-stimulation of production by subsidy pay ments might defeat its own pur pose by depleting domestic sourc es. One reason the bigger, low-cost mine owners oppose subsidies is the fear that they will lead to nationalization of all mines. The International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, CIO, through Its Washington director, Howard Lee, has Issued a state ment saying that It congress docs not authorize a subsidy for these marginal mines, it will demand nationalization.
