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,
