Both Legislative Houses on
Population Basis Urged
Portland, Oct. 10 Wi Oregon voters will be asked next year
to put both itate legislative houses on a itraight population
auota.
This would mean the end of the system in which lightly populat
ed district! now gain representation. Senators nd representa-
ives would be elected entirely
according to population.
A committee of young repub
licans and young democrats,
AFL and CIO representatives
now drafting an initiative meas
ure on representation decided
to do away with geographical
representation.
The state constitution stipu
lates that the population should
be the guiding rule.
There is one concession,
though, to the upstaters who ar
gue for some geographical rep
resentation. The measure would
limit any one district to a third
of the seats in either house.
The measure, expected to go
before the voters next year, has
not been drafted. Tentatively,
though, it would give Multno
mah county (Portland), the
state's most populous, 20 repre
sentatives and 10 senators in
stead of the 13 representa
tives and 6'i senators it now
has.
Committee members said
Multnomah could be expected to
lose some of these later as other
sections of the state grow.
There may be opposition
measures. Some upstate legisla
tors are arguing that each coun
ty should have a senator, re
gardless of population. This is
the rule that applies for the u.S,
senate.
