Farmers' Union
Would Change
Legislature
Salem, Feb. 22 up Ronald E,
Jones ol Brooks, president of the
Oregon Farmers union, says the
state legislature should be reor
ganized. Jones told the opening sessions
of the 40th annual convention of
the state farmers' group here
Tuesday that the legislature has
"long flouted the constitution
which calls for redistribution of
the representation on the basis of
population periodically." Jones
said the reapportionment should
be done by some department of
government other than the legis
lature. Jones urged support of the pro
posal to increase basic school sup
port. The matter will be put up
to the voters at the general elec
tion In November.
Jones spoke in favor of the
Brannan program for agriculture,
which he said "many condemned
for political reasons and then
changed their minds when they
understood the. workings of the
new plan."
Lyle Thomas of Dallas, state
secretary and educational direc
tor of the farmers union, said a
decline in farm prices and the
strong support of the Brannan
plan by the farmers union are
bringing the organization new
strength and new members.
Arthur Bone, editor of the Ore
gon Farmer Union, also support
ed the plan proposed by Secretary
of agriculture Charles Brannan
for compensatory payment to
farmers.
Frank Farmer of Salem was
elected chairman of the Oregon
Farmers union cooperative board
of directors and Amon Grice, also
of Salem, was named vice chair
man.. JThe cooperative met Tuesday
"afternoon in conjunction with the
farmers union meeting.

Washington. Feb. 22 mi The
republican high command em
barked today on an off-year elec
tion campaign to sell the nation's
voters the idea that Harry i. iru
man is only the "current presi
dent" of the United States.
That note for G.O.P. hope for
1952 was sounded last night by
National chairman Puy George
Gabrielson. Nine times during
a speech to a republican audience
in Hagerstown, Md., he referred
to Mr. Truman as the current
president."
A spokesman at G.O.P. nation
al committee headquarters ex
plained it this way today:
"We do not expert that Mr.
Truman will be president forever.
This is the start of a campaign
to sell that idea to the nation,
even though the presidential elec
tions are two years away."
Mav "Plav Rouen"
June Howland of Beaver Creek, Gabrielson also told his autli
secretary. Ience that 1 the democrats want
Republicans Serve Notice
Hot 1950 Campaign Probable
to "play rough" In the current
congressional campaign, the re
publicans are both ready,and will
ing to follow suit. That dispell
ed any possible thoughts that re
publicans planned the same kid
gloves approach they used during
the lyla presidential campaign
Gabrielson called names and
pulled no punches in what the na
tional committee said was the
opening round of the election
campaign.
Gabrielson once referred to the
president as "a distinguished
alumnus of the Pendergast col
lege ol dishonest politics' a
reference to the fact that Mr.
Truman got his political start un
der the Pendergast political ma
chine In Kansas City.
Gabrielson charged that the
democrats have been playing pol
itics with the federal budget for
"exactly 16 years, 11 months, and
17 days" the time since the late
President Roosevelt took office.

For a career or a few years, operator's jobs offer young women good pay, pleasant associations, interesting work
How's this for a good job?
To attract and keep good people, we've made telephone jobs
stack up with the best. Here are some of their features:
$57.50
Good Wages: Fully-experienced employees who re
ceive the top rates earned the following in 1949:
(These are actual earnings based upon 1949 income
figures reported to the U. S. Bureau of Internal
Revenue.)
Average top rate employee earnings 1949. ..weekly
Switchboard Operating Employees
Craftsmen: Installers, Linemen, Equipment 07 no
Maintenance Men, Cable Splicers, etc. . O.UO
The average for all employees, including trainees
and many with only short experience was: Switch-
board Operating Employees, $49.90 a week . . . Crafts
men, $70.66. (These figures are based on weekly
average earnings reported to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the last four months of 1949.)
Wage increases: Regular progression increases take
beginners from the trainee period to top rates in eight
years. Last year, some 46,000 non-management .tele
phone people received progression wage increases
that's about three out of four. "v
Benefit plan: It's one of the nation's oldest and finest
plans for pensions and protection against sickness
and accidents. Today the minimum pension is $100
a month, at age 65, including social security.
Working Conditions: Clean, pleasant surroundings in
an essential service ... a 40 hour week, or less . . . paid
vacations and holidays . . . these are just a few of the
items that make conditions enviable in the telephone
business.
Opportunity and security: Telephone work is the
kind a person can count on . . . twelve months a year.
Our employees have doubled in number in ten years.
There's always opportunity to get someplace in the
business. Of all the people working for us in 1939,
in non-management jobs and who are still with us,
a full third have been promoted to management.
P'raps the best evidence of the quality
jrH-fTi f telephone jobs is that plenty of good
