understanding
- He can count his first two
years as successful, although the
payoff ' still is to come. The
measure of success lies in ; the
considerable degree of personal
prestige which he has retained
since his inauguration on Jan.
20. 1953. and the attitude of
Democrats toward him.
Democrats generally regard
Mr.. Eisenhower as the most for-
midable Republican opponent
ranged against them in nearly
30 years. Most would prefer to
see some other Republican nom
inated for president in 1956.
The President's next two
years in office will test severe
ly the stability of his personal
prestige and the wisdom of his
political judgement. . .The Eis
enhower success story was cruel
ly marred last November by a
hair-line shift of congressional
control to the Democratic party.
Got Much from 83rd Congress
The Republican 83rd Congress
gave Mr. Eisenhower much that
he sought in his first two years,
usually on a compromise basis.
But the administration fairly
can claim success on tax legis
lation, farm price supports, St.
Lawrence Seaway, subversive
control, foreign aid (although
somewhat reduced), atomic en
ergy, and other such major bus
iness. - - :--
But some of the early Eisen
hower program was too hot for
the Republican 83rd to handle.
It comes up now in the Demo
cratic 84th. Congress where, in
general, the President must have

Bills in Legislature
Salem A hearing has been
set Feb. 2 on a bill which would
compel utility .firms to pay taxes
on; the' same set of figures they
use to compute rates.;' j
The ' bill was introduced by
Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Mil
waukie Democrat. " .
-vUnder the present system)
Sweetland said, the utilities use
one set "of figures ' to determine
how much they; will charge, for
power. He said a lower set of
figures is used to compute how
much they .will pay in taxes.
- Salem .U.R) A bill to em
power the state "public utilities
commissioner to reduce as well
as to increase Oregon intrastate
rates ' on railroads, trucks ; and
barges is being prepared by Sen.
Lowell Steen of Milton-Freewa-ter,
,and is 'expected to bring on
one i, of the vbig battles of the
1955 , legislative session.
The bill is similar to one in
troduced by SenPJiil-Brady at
Portland in the 1953 session. It
died in committee after being
vigorously- opposed by the rail-roads-and-
Ichampioned by:, the
truck and barge line operators.

adopted unanimously resolutions
of condolence to the families of
the late Mrs. Claribel Taplin

was long-time chief clerk of the
