Carver, and The Book of Joe by
Our Fight for Representation
Secretary of State Howell Appling's plsn for legislative re
apportionment comes as another blow and shock to Eastern
Oregon which la getting pretty used to taking a buffeting in
reapportionment Ideas as Western Oregon population soars.
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

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.
