The facts were brought out in a radio program in which there participated, among others, A. N. Murray, of the Bureau of Reclamation, and John Boyle, general manager of the California and Oregon Power Co. Each, the Bureau on one side and Copco on the other, wants to build a power plant at a site on the Klamath river. Addison reported Boyle as stating that "the Bureau wanted to do exactly what Copco had been planning on and trying to get the right to do for-20 years, using the same amount of tyater, in about the same places ... the same amount of water that Copco's using now.? , - ,- (That last bit we take to mean- that Copco already has a plant upstream from the site referred to and wants to use the water from it farther down.) . We gather from the Addison report that the dedication of the water to use at the new site will not jeopardize recla mation and in that fact the situation" differs from that on tVio KnnVe TH.-ihn intprpsts fear that the demand for water at Hells Canyon will limit their irrigation and they do not trust the words in trie Hens uanyon mns (n.a. oiio anu S. 2812). that define the irrigation rights. y v " Senator Morse, by the way, expressed hiihself in that three-hour speech on the Hells Canyon bill as perfectly sat isfied with that wording. Morse, however, is not an Idaho irriff.flt.or '. ' ' ' ' . : ft did not appear in the Addison column who has the next move: The issue seems clear just as at Hells Canyon.

I was in that vicinity, in Jackson cdunty that water was first diverted for- irrigation and the Oregon Reclamation Congress will direct a part of the program of its annual meeting to ,the observance and the memorializing of that event ' , - Incidentally, now in 1952 Jackson county is 100 years old. These events need a press agent. , The proposed federal budget shows more than $17,000,000 in salaries for press agents for various departments and agen cies of government. The figure does not include such things as stationery, ottice equipment ana general overneaa. i ne paper waste in such activities we have commented on many times although government would doubtless call it use. Most news papers, we think, will agree that it is possible to get along quite satisfactorily without the "news" releases through which Washington publicity men seek to glorify the govern ment activities of which they are a part. Here should be a fine , place to start cost cutting. In the political game, President Truman pitched a curve to General Eisenhower when he told the press that the favored presidential -candidate is at liberty to return from Europe "any time he deems it sate ana proper, uow ana ouisuie. Best bet today is that Ike will get a base on balls and that he will come home in November. Parties Expected to Hammer at Non-Voters; Only About Half of U.S. Adults too to foils Annual Frolics Plans Progress : POWELL, BUTTE, March 21 Charles Minson, chairman of the general committee of the Powell Butte Farmers' Cluli for the 18th annual Spring Frolics of the farm group, reported yesterday that Intensive work has hcen launched for making the 1!)52 party, sche duled for n hangar of the Red mond airport Saturday evening, April 5, one of the largest ever held. The annual dance and coun try store of the farmers' club is expected to attract attendance from all communities of Central Oregon and outside points. The annual Spring Frolics came Into being for the purpose of raising funds for meritorious civic undertakings throughout Crook and Deschutes counties. Since the frolics were launched the farmers' organization has raised and disbursed around $11, 000 for promotion of various en terprises of general community welfare. In 1918 It contributed $500 as a memorial to the late Jerrv lleston, called the father of the Farmers club, to tne fioneer Memorial hospital at Prineville. A like sum was contributed to the St. Charles Memorial Hospital at Bond. It plans this year on con tributing $500 to a community hospital being erected at Kca mond. The annual parties of the Farm ers' club are rotated Between Prineville. Bend and Redmond. That of 1951 was held at Bend. WASHINGTON, March 21 (CQ) Register and Vote!" -. -Thn nation's 97 million potential voters will hear that cry dozens of times between now ana wovemoer. But, despite the importance of the outcome, results ol past elec tions indicate that nearly nan 01 those over 21 will not vote in No vember, according to Congression al Quarterly. ' , ' Some cannot, others can but will not. Resardless of the reasons, the fact that so many will not partici pate in the decisions at tne pons is a source of general concern, shar ed by both major political parties. With primaries ' already begun and to occur frequently until the big general election in November, the Democrats and ' Republicans have at least one thought in com mon: Get Americans to the polls. Both parties want a handsome turnout in the 1952 elections, and both are mapping get-out-the-vote campaigns. These were markedly successful in their first test. After vigorous campaigning in New Hampshire, a total of 129,066 votes were cast in Republican and Dem ocratic primaries a record for Presidential primaries in that state. Both the Republicans, with 92,225 voting, and the Democrats with 36,841 went far over pre-election estimates. Nation wide Drives - In the next few months, the ma jor political organizations will car ry their appeals for maximum voter participation into every state. President Truman and Vice President Albcn W. Barkley will make get-out-the-vote appeals while campaigning for the Demo cratic Party. . The Republicans will resume their schools of politics success fully launched in 1950 to train GOP workers, mainly volunteers. Some of these even will be pressed into service as "baby sitters" while mothers go to the polls on election day. ' . , Stimulation of election interest bv another means through legisla tionhas been proposed in numer ous bills introduced in the present Congress. Among such proposals is leeislation backed by the Mon tana Congressional delegation that would give everyone a half-holiday to vote on election day. Sen. Blair Moody (D Mich.) and Rep. Arthur G. Klein (D N.Y.) would give all citizens the vote at 18. (Georgia residents already have this right.) Believing that a man who is not too young to fight is not too young to vote,' Rep. Ed win Arthur Hall (R N.Y.) would remove for servicemen all age limitations on voting. Light" Voters nut President Truman. Congress, and the major parties have a big ion aneaa u tney are iu uei aiay- at-homcs" to the polls on; clectloft day. ; In the last presidential election year 1948 anly .52 per cent of the 93.704.000 Americans 21 vears of aee or over voted in the contest between Mr. Truman and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Voter par ticipation in 1948 was lower than it was in 1944 and 1940. In the 1948 general election, 49 per cent of the nation's adults vot ed in Congressional races and 48 per cent in Senate races, i nis voie was higher1 than the 1950 vote, when on v 42 ner cent ot ine ao,- 833,000 potential voters balloted in electing Representatives ana h per ..nnl voted in the senate races. Voter turnout is lower in primary elections except in the South where the primaries arc decisive. The American is a "iigiu voier in comparison to the- voters of to talitarian countries . like Russia and democratic countries like Australia, Belgium and the Nether lands where non-voters are penal ized. Voting is 95-99 per cent of adult population in these countries. Even with 85 per cent illiteracy, India had a 60 per cent turnout of voters in its first national election which ended last month. Study Asked Rep. Jacob K. Javits (R N.Y.) 'wants to establish a bipartisan' commission to study why so many Americans don't vote. An analysis made by the Library of Congress of the reasons given by 600 non- voters 'for their failure to vote points up some problems. The non-voters said they don't know enough about the candidates; it's "tweedledum and weedledee no choice is given voters by the parties; registering and voting are too difficult. Some are barred by legal restrictions, others complain ed of corruption, or listed other reasons. -. .-..,.' ' .. Some non-voters said they would be more inclined to vote under one or more of the following condi tions: If unbiased, concise infor mation were available on candi dates and issues, if better promo tion methods were used, if voting were compulsory,' and if tax ex emptions were allowed for voting. Several million adults living in this country cannot vote: -Aliens, convicts and the insane. Negroes are discouraged from voting in parts of the South. Women apparently, have never been as interested as men in vot ing. However, there are now near ly 2 million more women than men 21 years or older, according to the 1950 census. .. - - And women may outvote Tnen this year for the first ,time in the nation's history., .. : i Services Planned By Local Church Rev. Raymond Wilder of Port Angeles, Wash., is in Bend to assist Rev. Dean C: Poindexter and mem bers of First Methodist Church with special lenten services.
