The Appling plan, which comes as result of a Supreme Court order to comply with the stste constitution, would par ticularly hurt Umatilla county, which would be forced to share a aenator with Union and Wallowa counties, and would shsre two representatives with Morrow, Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler counties. At preaent Umatilla has one senator of Its own. Sen. Loyd Key, and two representatives, Rep. Stafford Hansel! and Rep. Raphael Raymond. Morrow would continue to share its senstor with Hood River, Cllllam, Sherman. Wasco and Wheeler counties. While this county would share two representatives when It now only shares one, the result la' not Inviting because Umatilla would be in cluded In the district . Umatilla's population Is 44,352. Morrow's is only 4,871. The combined population of Cllllam, Morrow, Sherman and Wheeler, bed partners with Umatilla in this plan, la only 13,108. Umatilla has the total outnumbered more than 3 to 1! Thus it won't take much guessing to figure out where the representatives from this district would come from, and we wouldn't enjoy Umatilla's dominance much more than we now enjoy Mult nomah's dominance over the rest of the state. Secretary Appling's plan hurts Eastern Oregon considerably worse than House Bill 1C03. As compared with the House plan, Eastern Oregon loses one senator. Yamhill-Benton loses one, and Multnomah and Lane each gain one. In the House of Representatives, Eastern Oregon loses three in the Appling plan as compared with House Bill 16G5. Mult nomah picks up one, Benton-Lane gains one, and Jackson gains one. If representation is to be dependent on population alone, we have to yield, but that is not the wholly fair and just criterion. It Is not the democratic way. To stifle Eastern Oregon's voice in the legislature in the long run serves no real good for the state be cause Eastern Oregon contributes too much to the welfare of the entire state. Someone has to look out for its Interests. It has to be represented adequately by someone who understands it and its problems. Secretary Appling, in a letter written to the East Oregonlan and copy of which was sent to this paper, makes it clear that he does not like the plan he submits. He agrees that It weakens legislative representation by Joining counties whose Interests are not in common, and he also concludes that large districts will ultimately stifle the voice of the political or geographical min ority. He was ordered to form a plan in accordance with the con stitution, and this he apparently believes he did. He declares, "The decision as to the basis on which reapportionment would be done was made by the voters of Oregon when they adopted the 1952 constitutional amendment." It is to be fervently hoped that this plan will shock Eastern Oregonlans enough so that they will unite solidly and strive to do something about it. Secretary Appling advocates the federal plan of one senator from each county and the balance to be apportioned by population. This, however, requires state constitutional amendment, and the big problem comes up, "How can you get Multnomah, Lane and other big counties to go for it?" t To be Just and right under the democratic concept, they should be for it in order to guarantee the voice of the minority as assured by the United States constitution. We also firmly be lieve that it serves the best Interests of all for each segment to be adequately represented, for we here are important to Mult nomah county, to Lane county, and to all of Western Oregon. To shut us off is to stifle themselves. This is a matter of vital importance to Eastern Oregon. Let's speak out and be heard. Well, Did He or Didn't He? Now that Roger Maris has cracked out his 61st home run, topping the great Babe by one homer, the great debate In sports is on did he beat the King of Swat's record or didn't he? All sports fans know that Ruth clouted 60 in a 154 game season while Roger hit 61 In a 162-game season. It doesn't make much difference to Joe Doakes, and a house wife, sipping a cup of coffee while glancing at the sports page, might yawn and say, "So what else is new?" But we in this country place great moment on records. Maybe it Is the spirit cf competition and the desire to excel, which are fundamental to our system, that keep us striving for records in all things. To Roger Maris, as a professional athlete, breaking the record of the Immortal Ruth means more than the prestige and lasting fame In baseball. It also means thousands and thousands of dollars. His achievement places him in a very satisfactory bar gaining position salary-wise, and he undoubtedly will pick up fortunes in testimonials. We expect Roger Marls endorsements of cereals, sports equipment, razor blades and most everything else. Maris will make the wealthier Yanks wealthier. Yankee Sta dium has been d-ibbed "The House that Ruth Built," because he packed them in enough ta pay for the place. This year's American league pennant chase took second billing o Mfcntle's and Marls' assaults on Ruth's record. The big "M's" packed them in. too. Any close observer could probably see the dollar signs written across the smiling faces of the Yankee management. But by official edict of Commissioner Ford Flick. Roger didn't top the Babe because of the 8-game differential In the seasons. Thus the crown still belongs to the King of Swat There are a great many who think Marls deserves full credit for a record. This camp will say that pitching today Is tougher than It used to be. Others will come back with the idea that having 10 teams In the American circuit brings In hurlers who should still be in the minors. The Old-timers will vow that the ball is livelier today than It used to be, and that fences have been moved closer. Other things should be considered in this Great Argument. For instance, how many Intentional walks did the Babe draw as compared to Roger? One thing is sure. Until some power hitter pounds out at least 61 home runs in 154 games there is now plenty of fuel for the sideline cowboys to argue about for days to come. But inevitably Ruth's record will fall. Just as the 4-minute mile was broken. And when it is shattered, there will still be those crusty old diamondmen who will croak, "He don t nowise compare wld de Babe." him. We still don't know whether he was lust too busy Wednes day or whether he has no in tcrest in baseball at all. The G T staff got up a little pool on the World Series. "By Jo" (Pettyjohn) went over to ask him If he'd like to participate in this World Series pool. Tommy was nice about it but firm. "No." said he. "I don't know anything about football I guess that would bring Mickey Mantle and Roger Marls back to earth. LOOKS TO US that among the best hunters of all are the state police. They have carted a good many deer to the butcher, not to mention a nice spike elk. we understand that they not only got their deer but they got their men, too, ONE OF the most nervous deer hunters we've heard about was Mrs. Ed (Rachel) Dick. She was out hunting the other day and had Dut her gun down to warm her hands. As she looked down the hill, she saw a big bear cordially ambling up to wards her. Rachel couldn't decide whether lit was open season on bear, whether bears should be shot or protected, or whether she should run or try to make mends, bne finally compromised, grabbed her rifle and took a shot in the general direction of bruin. He ambled off. Other hunters, hear ing the shot, came up and with no indecision whatever struck after him, but he got away. A PICTURE of the lone football team may have saved Bob DeSpaln from being charged with contempt of court the other day. The lone man was assign ed to Jury duty and was sup posed to report to the courthouse at 9 a. m. Tuesday. Coincidentally, at about 9:30 a. m. Tuesday we were trying to figure out how to identify boys in the football picture we and identified picture. FRIENDS of the Phil Blakneys. now of Prosser. Wn.. may be Interested to know that they re cently dispatched us a note aay Ing that they have recovered much of their recent robbery loss because of the publicity of this and other papers on the crime. A great many of those who had given checks to them were good enough to come in, arrange to stop payment on the stolen checks and write new ones. BILL BLAKE and Ernie Win chester went to Canada a fish- in' last week: They came back with: 1. Some pretty nice Kam loops trout 2. Two new Canadian tires (one brand of which they had never heard before) as a result of two bad flats. 3. Some real whing dingers of colds. (We're surprised that the border patrol would allow them to bring the cold bugs across the line). While we were tormented by this beautiful sunshine down here, they were basking In four days of snow and one of rain. They fished on a placid lake with waves only two to three feet high. THERE WERE quite a few disap pointed people last week be cause oi so many stones Deing left out of the paper. One of the toughest things on an editor is to decide at the last minute which stories are going to be used to fill the last remaining Price.

Ullman Atki Action Of BLM On Range Cooperation between Oregon ranchers and Burrs u rf UJ Management la needed to aolva critical public range problems. Rep. Al U!man said in Ontario last week. Repreentatlvt Lu man and Senator Wayne Morse met with ranchers to get their views on critical grazing prwo lems. Top BLM officials also par ticipated In the session. Judge Oscar Peterson attended the meeting to represent Morrow county. "The ranchera and blm nave been feuding long enough." Rep. Uilman said. "Now is the time for both sldea to bury their tra ditional distrust and weld a new spirit of cooperation." Ullman also stressed the neea for full multiple-use develop ment The general public haa stake In rehabilitation of public range lands," he said. He sharply criticized the BLM for "dragging Its feet on range sedlng and brush control measures." and said it would take more than 85 years to complete the need ed seedlne and more than 400 years to complete the brush con trol at the present rate of pro gress. Ullman la making a tour of the 2nd District to talk over the area's problema with civic leaders. Former Editor Here Art Crawford of San Francisco, fmer editor of the Gazette.
