Fremont Journal COUNTY REPRESENTATION Counties, as well as people, merit representation in their state's legislature. This is not a new idea ; it was stated and accepted when the constitution of the United States was en acted. States, as well as people, were given representation then in their nation's legislature. The ulan has stood time's test and it is still in effect. Each state, regardless of size, has i be t?mpted to continue our road two senators in the upper house of congress; its representa- up the gentle ascent of a slop np tives in the lower house vary according to population.

The Abert lake country is dvecribed in the follow in journal entry December 20 Travelling for a few hours down the stream this morning, we turned a point of the hill on our left, and came suddenly in sight of another and much larger lake, which. aloiiR its eastern shore, was closely bord ered bv the high black ridge which walled it In by a precipitous face on this side. Throughout this region the face of the country is characterized by these preci pices of black volcanic rock, gen erallv enclosing the valleys of strea'ms. and frequently termln Miini? the hills. Often in the din-so of our tourney we would same idea would give each county equal membership with length of 20 miles, the lake, when each 01 the others in the senate and wouia vary nouse mem- we first came in view, pmrnii bership to reflect the number of people in a legislative district That is the essence of the proposal by Giles L. Freeh for re apportionment of legislators in Oregon. We have mentioned it before and expect to do so again for it is unquestionably the answer to the problem of unscrambling Oregon's mixed up method, its highly unmethodical method of districting for representative purposes. French, who edits the Sherman County Journal and who has been a member of the lower house in the Oregon legisla ture for eiirht consecutive sessions believps that stronir local i amine the water conveniently, governments are important, that they - should be made j and, being now on the borders .of a handsome sheet of water: and I pave to it the name of I-ake Abert, in honor of the chief of 'he corps to which I belonged. The fresh-water stream we had follow ed emptied into the lake by a little fall; and I was doubtful for a moment whether to po on. or encamp at this place. The miry ground tn tne neignooi nutm ui the lake did not allow us to ex- stronger and that fair representation will strengthen them. In this connection, a statement made in his outline of what could be called the American plan, presented at the convention of the Oregon association of counties in November, definitely bears quoting, lie said : There is cost to be considered in speaking of strong local governments. A dollar paid in county taxes is a pretty good investment. The taxpayer probably receives 90 cents of it back i:i services. A dollar sent to the state perhaps returns me 60 to TO cents in value. But a dollar sent to the federal government is a thin and weary dime before it returns to the taxpayer. Local government is the most economical govern ment. The change that he proposes would affect central Oregon notably. Five counties Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson, Lake and Klamath comprise one district which sends on-3 senator to the legislature. Quoting Representative French once more: It takes 72,000 persons to elect a senator from that dis trict and only 52,000 from Portland This came about some years ago when some fine political finangling was done resulting In Josephine county, then with some 10.000 persons, getting a senator all by itself while five counties have to share .1 senator. Manifestly, even on. a population basis, central Oregon counties lack fair representation. And, even if this dispropor tion were remedied, the counties themselves would not be rep resented. Equality of government units needs recognition. Constitutional amendment is required to provide such recognition and it is at once apparent that this would result Xi a 20 per cent increase in senate membership. This is now set at 30 by the Oregon constitution. There are 36 counties in the state, so 36 seats would be required in the upper house. Well, there is room for them in the senate chamber. We would like to see the six additional ones installed and filled. A friend tells us that the Oregon Democrat mails out CVA material from the congressional record under Senator Mag nuson's frank. The Oregon Democrat is published by Monroe Sweetland, democratic national committeeman from Oregon. We can imagine what Monroe would have to say about a republican newspaper that got the benefit of the use of a senator's postage free envelopes. As to the Oregon Democrat we simply report the words. Write your own music. Friday's standard question in New York this month is, "Did you bathe this morning, or shave? Tell the truth now. Come clean." WASHINGTON COLUMN Out on the Farm By Ila S. Grant Pec. 20 The pullets have been laying since early fall, and there are plenty of eggs on Calico farm these days. Egg sandwiches, in one form or another, have be come a favorite snack for Satur day or Sunday night. Those are my "days off." No complicated cooking after 3 p.m. The other night I made "egg burgers." I beat five eggs with a dash of salt and pepper and about a third cup of water, and poured the mixture into the iron skillet in which I had melted two table spoons of shoi lening. Then I add ed three frankfurters, cut in slices, and stirred occasionally un til the filling was thick and glos sy. This amount was plenty for six big buns, i split the buns, but- tered them lightly, and toasted them on the grill. Inside with the egg filling went a little salad dressing, lettuce leaves and a slice of raw onion. Serve the sandwich es with bread-and butter pickles, potato chips and lots of hot cof fee. Another egg sandwich with per sonality is the "one-eyed sailor," a specialty of Shirley Perrine's. For each serving, prepare a slice of bread by cutting a circle about the size of a silver dollar from the cent;r, and spreading both sides of slice and round with butter or margarine. Heat a frying pan Fry bread slice lightly on one side, turn and break an egg into the opening. Do it carefully, so that the yolk will fit into the hole, I and the white will cover the slice, ! penetrating the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the egg is nearly set, turn carefully and finish cooking. You may need to add a little shortening as the cooking goes on. Shirley says that She and Jess like "one-eyed sail . ors" on camping trips. Eggs and toast In one operation. We fry the rounds, too, and use them as a garnish. Everybody knows how to make egg salad from hard-boiled eggs for sandwich filling. Dice the eggs and mix with salad dressing, and maybe a little minced 'ham. I like to season it with prepared must ard a.id a pinch of celery seeds. Bend Gieemen Plan Activities Bend Gieemen under the lead ership of Don Pence are looking forward to a busy 1950, it was an nounced today as the group re viewed the year now ending and outlined plans for the year just ahead. The Gieemen held their last meeting and rehearsal of 1949 this past week, in the Bend high school band room. Mem bership .and attendance were at a bit;h levei this year. There are a number of new members in the Gieemen this year, leaders reported. These new members include high school boys, chosen bv Pnce as out standing in glee club and choral worn. New members are Jim Boyd, second tenor: Jomes Duff, Phil Lanzoratta and Grant Mat thews, first tenors; Walter Foote. Albert Jorgenson and Bill Mc Collom, baritones, and Roland Valltchka, Bill Weber pnd Gary Ward, basses. High school boys who have been with the Bend Gieemen for at least two years are George Freeman, Gary Je rome. Gene Keil, Bill Niskanen and Larry Standifer. One of the early activities of the Gieemen in the year just ahead will be their annual con cert season, in February. The next regular me?ting of the groun will be on Tnesrday, Jan. 3, at r:dy p.m. in the band room. a desert country, we were moving cautiously. It was, however, still earlv in the day, and I continued on, trusting either that the water would be drinkable, or mat we should find some little spring from the hillside. We were lol- lowing an Indian trail which led along the steep rocky precipice: a black ridge along the western shore holding out no prospect whatever. The while efflores cences which lined the shore like a bank of snow, and the disagree able ordor which filled the air as soon as we came near, informed us too plainly that the water be longed to one oi tnose ieuo stu lakes which are common in this 1 region. We continued until late in the evening to work along the rocky shore, but, as often after wards, the do' inhospitable rock deceived us: and. halting on the lake, we kindled up fires to guide those who were straggling along behind. We tried the water, out j it was impossible to drink it, and j most of the people to-night lay j down without eating; but some1 of us, who had always a great f reluctance to close the day with-1 out supper, dug holes along the; shore, and obtained water, which, j being filtered, was suffici"ntly ; palatable to be used, but still re tained much of Its nauseating taste. There was very little grass for the animals, the shore being lined with a luxuriant growth of chenopodiaceous shrubs, which burned with a quick brigljt flame, and made our firewood. The next morning "we had scarcely travelled two hours along the shor? when we reacnea 9 place where the mountains made : a bay. leaving at their feet a low bottom around the lake. Here we ; found numerous hillocks covered with erass. which, although of a salt and unwholesome quality, and mixed with saline efflorescences, was still abundant, and made a good halting place to recruit our animals: and we accordingly en camped here for the remainder of the day. I rode ahead several miles to ascertain if there was anv appearance of a watercourse entering th? lake; but found none, the hills preserving their dry character, and the shore of the lake sprinkled with the same white powdery substance, and covered with the same shrubs. There were flocks of ducks on the lake, and frequent tracks of In dians along the shore, where the grass had been recently burnt by their fires. We ascended the bordering mountain, in order to obtain a more perfect view of the lake in sketching its figure; hills sweep entirely around its basin, from which the waters have no outlet.

Biggest bone ot contention is over the pension and welfare fund. The big coal companies hi insisting that the new contract contain definite limitations on the power of Lewis to decide person ally who gets what. More speci fically, what aged or Injured min ers and their families will be en titled to in pension und welfare benefits. The contract which expired last June 30 gave Lewis absolute )hw er to decide those things. Theo retically, this power was placed In the hands of the three-man boiml of trustees. But the third public trustee Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire voted consis tently with Lewis. This left the mine operators' trustee, Ezra Van Horn, so helpless that he resign ed. And now Lewis refuses to recognize Charles I. Dawson of Louisville as his successor. The mine operators now recog nize that the contract which iht- mittcd these and other irreguln-' ities was badly drawn. At a re cent closed meeting of the Na tional Industrial Cnnfernro board in New York, President Joseph E. Moody of the Southern Coal Pro ducers' association analyzed the details of this bad contract in actual operation. Since there is now governmen tal und general public acceptance of the old-age pension Idea, Mr. Moody says the coal operators In lii.-i association uiv willing in ne gotiate on that subject. 'I hey are Inclined to believe that pensions should be handled on a company-by-company basis, instead of on an Industry-wide bnsU through the union. This is intended'to pre vent abuses in paying pensions to those -'lot entitled to receive them, The catch In this proposal may be that If a coal oH'rator goes broke, or goes1 out of business, there would be nobody to pay the pension. Hut the way the pension plan has been run in the past year, It has resulted only in spend ing nearly all the money in the retirement fund, putting It out of commission. To prevent this hnt.l;ruptlng of pension and welfare funds. Moody now proposes that the new con tract provide three specific safe guards. First, that proper stan dards on payments be fixed. Sec ond, that rules of eligibility for pciiSions and welfare payments be made public. Third, that the powers of the trustees Ih care fully limited and that their discre tionary authority to decide who gets what he entirely eliminated. John L. Lewis' has told Moody In one of their rare meetings dur ing the past five months that he, Lewis, would never give up his discretionary power to decide what benefits are paid the miners and their dependents. He has de fied the mine operators to try to tako this power away from film. Lewis has apparently enjoyed greatly the disbursing of the wel fare funds's i;o,(hhi,imki. under the old contract there was no limit on the amount of money that could be given uway, Lewis has boasted that the fund has been handled more efficiently than other Insurance funds, and that its administrative expenson have been low. But In keeping these costs low, the miners wel fare fund has been subject to many abuses. It has been easy f.r any old-time miner to get affi davits that he worked In the pits 20 or 30 years ago, and is there fore entitled to a pension. Loral union officials have been reluc tant to turn down any applica tion. Spending a little more on a field organization, or turning the whole Job over to an Insurance company that would weed out the emselers, might have saved the miners' fund many millions of dollars. Getting John L. Lewis to agree to tighter business administration of tlie welfare fund Is expected to be one of the major stumbling blocks In getting a new contract with the big operators.
