Think of the Importance Tur whear.nd livestock industries. Just to mention a couple, to Portland firms. Now what if we turned in another direction-say to Eastern Washing-Walla Walla.

A Walla Walla firm Kd l.ko to do more business with us. They will compete with rw lnd on prKft and they can give even faster serv.ee. The. liule business we do wouldn't hurt Portland one lota 11 we "seceded economically" and went to Washington, but if the thousands of businesses and industries all over Eastern Oregon did the same thing, it would be felt. This is not to propose such "economic secession," but when salesmen come through and when every Eastern Oregon business UadeT witHhe western part of the state, we should Impress them with this problem and ask for support for adequate rep resentation. It is lair and right, because what is for our welfare is also tor their welfare. Several plans have been proposed for a more equitable plan of representation. One of the foremost Is the federal plan, which would have one legislative house based on population, and the other with each county represented, regardless of population. Thus Morrow would have at least one senator or representative of its own In the one house, as well as sharing at least one with, neighboring counties in the house based on population. Editor French points out that daily press has referred to the federal plan as "radical." He wisely points out that it has not been considered radical on the national level as it has been used to contribute to the development of our country. As a matter of fact, we can see little justifclation for the expense, trouble and confusion of a bicameral legislature (two houses) at ull if our representation is based solely on population. A unicameral system isuch as in Nebraska) would seem much less costly, less cumbersome and certainly more efficient Our Moro neighbor says, "Any plan must be voted on by the people. Any plan will have opposition. Any plan that wins must be easily explainable." He's right on all counts. Let's get together on an equitable plan, gather our funds and resources for the job, and work to wards a constitutional amendment that embraces the chosen plan. In the meantime, let us not lose any opportunity to point out to our western Oregon friends why it is only democratic and to their best Interests for us to have adequate representation. Legion And Auxiliary Plan Many Activities A potluck supper for Legion nalres, auxiliary members and families is set for Monday, No vember 6. 7:00 p. m. in the Legion hall. The auxiliary will hold a short meeting followed hv social entertainment for everyone to participate. Funds from a baked food sale Saturday, November 4, 9M0 a. m. In the Heppner Red and U'hltA nmi snonsored bv the Legion auxiliary, will be used to buy Rifts for the Christmas gut shop in the veterans' hospital. Mrs Frank Hamlin, auxiliary president, says any member not able to bring baked goods may bring a gift and leave it at the Red and White store.
