ATTENTION DIRECTED TO TWO NEW MEASURES Correspondent Argues Against Pro portionul Representation ami Abolishing of Senate. To the Editor, "Gazette-Times," Heppner, Oregon. Dear Sir: I want to call your attention to the probable result of the passage of the so-called Proportional Rep resentation Bill (348-349) which is coming up before the voters at the election next November. You are nnrtlptilflrlv Interested hppniiua o I view the matter, if this bill carries, together with its sister bill to Abolish the Senate (350-351), representa tion of your county will either be wiped out or will be reduced. I have made a study of this ques tion, endeavoring to find out Just what would happen. I find that with the exception of Multnomah county, all the other counties are well rep resented in proportion to the amount of taxes each county pays, as well as in proportion to the; population of the several counties. As you doubtless know, Multnomah county has a rep- resentation of only 21 per cent. , whereas accordiii1; to -pu!atkn it i :ias over 33 wr cent and according ' '. t:i3s over n.r mi!. T ,o rival variation bet ween the percentage oi representation aad the percentage of j population is only fraction of a percent except in two or three of the counties with comparatively small population and In these instances U is invariably in favor of the county as against the other counties of the State. It naturally follows, that if somebody wishes more representa tion at Salem, and the number of representatives is not increased, there must be a loss of representa tion to somebody else. . If you can figure out the possible outcome on a basis of a theoretically perfect manipulation of the votes, you will find sixteen out of thrity four counties would have absolutely no representation; eight counties would have their representation re duced; four would have a small in crease; Multnomah a very large in craese and the five remaining coun ties would be represented as at pres ent. I appreciate the fact that it is of course impossible to perfectly manipulate tho votes, but I contend that the votes can be as perfectly manipulated In one county as in an other, and for that reason, although the number of votes required to elect a candidate would not be the number shown by this theoretical study of the case, still the results would be the same because the ratios would re main the same. I contend that the increase in the representation of the County of Multnomah would be to such an extent that it would abso lutely dominate the Legislature, which is bad for the county of Mult nomah. There is no question but that it is bad for the counties whose representation is wiped out. This is what I mean by a theoret ically perfect manipulation of the votes. Based upon the registration for the election of 1912 as given on page 136 of the Oregon Blue Book for 1913-1014, I discovered by a ser ies of experiments, that 1600 votes elect a candidate; more than that given' to one candidate would be waste; less than that would fail to elect, and, on this assumption the Re publicans would elect one in Baker county, there would be no represen tatives in Benton, The Republicans would elect three in Clackamas, one in Clatsop, there would be no repre sentation in Columbia, etc. This Is on the assumption that the members of the different parties of each coun ty vote as a unit in that county. It would be possible for the Democrats, for example, in adjacent counties to combine their vote and elect their represcentatlve from the two coun ties, but this you can readily see would in itself reduce the representa tion of many of the counties. In the larger counties, particularly Multno mah, the party leaders would have to distribute candidates according to registration in precincts, so that only enough votes would be given each candidate to assure his election. I have endeavored to indicate, that should these bills pass, it would be possible to so manipulate the votes as to eliminate representation from many of the counties. I have further Indicated, that we now have repre sentation proportional to county pop ulation and proportional to county taxation. It must follow then, that the advocates of these pills must want representation proportional to something else other than population or taxation. If it is as to party, ir respective of residence, then my con tention would still hold that Mult nomah's representation would in crease at the expense of other coun ties, because outside of Multnomah, none of the smaller counties has a registration of six hundred. If the idea is to split up the Republican and Democratic Parties, so as to gain representation along other lines it is well for the people to under stand this in advance and to know just what we are getting when we vote for either of these measures. I feel that if these facts are laid before the voters of the State thes,e bills will be defeated. Yours very truly, G. C. MASON TYPHOID is no mftro necessary tlianSmallpox.
