The 1940 census showed just over '10,000. Present estimates run to 13,000. But this is not all. In the first year of the war there had been a decrease to an estimated y,000. Un tne oasis oi wis low injure mere has been nearly a 50 per cent gain not only a large gain but one made in a relatively short period oi time. At the same time that this has been going on there has been a rapid population turnover. Wnether tnis is attributable to the restlessness of the times or the quick protits to be made on a rising real estate market resulting in quit sales, with ensuing changes of residence, is a question which would be interesting to pursue but which would mean liftle in this, discussion. What is significant is tnat tnere has been a considerable replacement of. the older population oi Bend. ReDlaeements and additions have combined to produce an unusually large percentage of new residents in the city. We do not suggest that this is a situation peculiar to bend. There are other communities in which similar changes nave Deen noted in the post-war years. But whether peculiar to Bend or not it becomes a factor which must not be ignored if we are to continue to have a truly representative government. If we do ignore it we are simply asKing tor minority control and we will get just that as Jong as any considerable portion of otherwise quaiitied voters remain unregistered. A subscriber gives us a glimpse of the situation which has come to exist in Bend, lie attended a party last week at which, somehow, the subject of local politics came up. from that it was only a step to discussion of voting and to the quali fications of voters. And presently it all came out. Ui tne 11 present, only three were registered, if an election had been taking place on tnat date eight out of the eleven wouid not have been permitted to vote. " '' Tne odd part of it ail is that these people would have been spotted in almost any company ior what we call "good citi zens." Every one of them was interested in civic affairs, improvement of the community and so on, but somehow none had taken the trouble to go through the formality which would make their citizenship eftective. On election day tney would want to know how the count went and wouid leei very keenly if things didn't go their way. StiU they wouldn't have voted. Perhaps they have qualified by now. We hope so, but we fear that there are a lot more wno haven't. Tney haven't a great deal of time left if their opinions are to mean anything in the state and local election which is to be held on October V. The county clerk's books tor registration are open now and will continue open until 8 o'clock on the evening of September 6, then there will be no further registry permitted tor the Oc tober election. Six months residence in the state and 30 days in the precinct are the requirements. Most adults in Bend, we believe,. could meet thein. Those who do not will be dis franchised as far as participation in the October 7 election Is concerned. . Actually there will two elections on that day. One is call ed by the state with a retail sales tax and an alternative tax on cigarets at issue. The other is called by the city of Bend lor tne election of seven commissioners under the provisions ot the recently amended charter. Each oi these elections and its issues is oi great importance. Each should be decided by a majority ot tne people. But unless there is a rapid pick-up in the registration rate neither of them will be. The minority will rule and, sooner or later, this will prove disastrous to any community of unit ot government. Ambassador eeMOT I.

R. Stanard, federal-state shipping point su pervisor. The potato law requires that all potatoes being sold or offered for sale must be properly labeled to show the name of state of origin, name and address of grower, shlDDer or dealer and the grade. Th.s requirement is particularly Important In the ring-rot control area, comprised of Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties, in order that the origin may defi nitely be known-, states Stanard. Cites Kegulauons Standard also pointed out that where any potatoes are found in the control area without the re quired markings, the sale should be .prohibited until ine vioiauon is corrected. The burden of proof to show that the tubers were crown within the control area is on the person in possession of the potatoes. If such proof is not satisfactory the inspector can require that the potatoes be shipped out of the district or de stroyed at the option of the per son in possession. "A majority ol growers in tne area do not hestitate to call to our attention any potatoes that are brought Into the area from other districts," Stanard said, "so I feel that by the same token they should be willing to comply with our regulations, Just as we re quire the larger packers and snip pers to do. To date, the griev ance has been with the small operator selling' or offering for sale potatoes in lots under one ton, which need not be accompa nied by an inspection certificate. These, small lots, however, are re quired to meet the grade on the container." STUDY APPOINTMENTS Los Angeles, Aug. 21 tui Ralph O. Coleman, Corvallis, Ore., and Forrest F.
