TO PREVENT MINORITY CONTROL
In the past few years there has been a large increase in
the population of Bend. 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.

Violations Noted
In Potato Sales
Salem, Aug. 21 (Special) A
recent check of stores and pro
duce houses In Central Oregon
disclosed that several small lots
of potatoes ranging from one
sack to 19 are being delivered 'n
violation of state law by small
growers, who have failed to show
any grade markings on the con
tainers, declares W. 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."
