Speculations
A favorite indoor sport among those inter
ested in things political is speculating what
might happen to congressional districts as the
result of the next census. .
Oregon, after 1960, may well be due for a
fifth congressman. If the population justifies
si$ch action, and Congress approves it, it will be
upf to the legislature to carve out a fifth district
from the four now existing.
If it refuses to do this somewhat ticklish
task, Oregon can elect a "Congressman at large,"
representing the entire state.
THIS procedure is unsatisfactory, and presum
ably the legislature of 1961 will undertake
the job.
Oregon's population at present is slightly
more than 1,700,000, according to the state
fcoard of census.
The four districts are as follows :
First Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Co
lumbia, Lincoln, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, Wash
ington and Yamhill counties, estimated popu
lation about 494,380.
Second , Baker, Crook, Deschutes, Gilliam,
rant, Harney, Hood
gth, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Uma
tilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco and Wheeler
counties, estimated population about 255,610.
Third Multnomah county, estimated pop
ulation about 525,890.
Fourth Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson,
Josephine, Lane and Linn counties, population
about 451,320. '
FOLLOWING the 1950 census, the average
population of a congressional district was
about 346,000, so it can be seen that in creating
a new district, it would have to come from west
of the Cascade mountain range. The second dis
trict is by 'far the largest in area, but has by far
the smallest population.
The problem now comes how to go about
reapportioning: the western Oregon counties to
provide a fifth district,

county with a representative m congress all to
itself, other less-populous counties can be counted
upon to object.
TF the first and fourth
with a population (at present) of just under
a million, and then divided into three districts,
it could result in roughly equal districts of a little
over 300,000 or not quite enough to make an
average-sized district.
What the legislature might do, of course, is
to take Multnomah countv and add it to one or
more of the "bedroom
Portland (Clackamas and Washington, for in
stance), for a total of around 700,000 or more,
and then divide this into two districts, possibly
cutting Portland in half with a district line in
the process. This would result in two districts
with roughly average populations.
That would result in a below-average popula
tion for the first district. But this could be reme
died by taking one of the northernmost counties
from the fourth district (perhaps Linn),, and
making it a part of the old first district, thus mak
ing them roughly equal in population.
.
A LL this is speculation.
rr. .Congress might decide not to add to the
membership of the house of representatives (now
435). Or it might decide not to allow another
congressman for Oregon, on the" basis of pop
ulation.' Or the legislature might forego the deli
cate task of reapportioning congressional dis
tricts. As we said, at present it's only an interesting
indoor sport, speculating. E. A.

Over in Bend, the Rotary club recently took
out rain insurance,' to 'care for their costs if their
annual stock show barbecue was rained out.
Well,' it was rained out. The football field
where it was to be held was drenched.
But at the weather bureau, just outside of
town,. only .48 of an inch was recorded. not
enough to qualify for the insurance payment,
which was dependent on the official reading.
In southern Oregon, where late-afternoon
thundershowers are far from unusual during the
late spring and summer months, this phenomenon
is familiar.
Only the other day, the, family homestead
was drenched by several showers during the day,
while the weather bureau at the airport recorded
only a "trace" of precipitation for the day.
.This is one of the things which sometimes

'Whipping
For Budget Bureau
By Congressional Quarterly
Washington (CQ) The
Bureau of the Budget, a tiny
federal agency with only 450
employees, is fast becoming
the favorite whipping boy of
Congress. )
Every other department in
the sprawling federal govern
ment must submit its spend
ing requests to Congress
through the Budget Bureau.
Even when Congress appro
priates the money, it cannot
be spent before Budget re
leases it.
That's where the trouble
comes. The Budget Bureau
sometimes has held back
funds which Congress appro
priated or permitted money
to be spentf or purposes other
than those designated by Con
gress. This is "defeating and frus
trating the will of Congress,"
says. Rep. F. Edward Hebert
(D-La.). The Budget Bureau
has become a "Frankenstein,"
according to , Rep. Daniel J.
Flood (D-Pa.)l Senate Major
ity Leader Lyndon B. John
son (D Tex.) claims the Bu
reau acts "like a czar or dic
tator." Flood has introduced a bill
to abolish the Budget Bureau,
set up 37 years ago as a small
division of the Treasury de
partment. Other bills would
strip Budget of its powers to
freeze appropriations.
Debt Ceiling Cited
Budget Bureau officials say
they must exercise this pow
er to prevent federal expendi
tures from breaking through
the debt ceiling set by v Con
gress. Deputy Budget Direc
tor Robert E. Merriam told a
Congressional committee re
cently that if the mail had
not been delivered "for only
two days in December, 1957,
just the loss of those receipts
alone would have run us over
the top. That's how close we
were."
The main question behind
this conflict is whether an ap
propriations bill passed by
Congress is simple authority
to soend money or a directive
to do so. Congressmen who
say it is a directive claim that
the Budget Bureau, by mv
pounding funds, is exercising
policy-making power which
only Congress has.
For example, there have
been several complaints re
cently from" Army, Navy and
Air Force scientists that the
Budget Bureau .has held up
funds which Congress appror
priated for space and mili
tary research.
A Congressional Creation
Congress itself created the
Budget Bureau in 1921 to pre
pare the annual federal budg
et. In 1939, it became part of

the Executive Office of the
President. It has acquired
enormous power since its in
ception. Besides apportioning
appropriations to various fed
eral agencies, it can freeze
funds for a variety of reasons.
But its duties are not lim
ited to handling of federal
funds. The Budget Bureau
determines, whether proposed
or pending legislation is in
accordance with the Presi
dent's program. Both before
and after legislation goes to
Congress, the bureau reconv
mends Presidential action on
it.
Its powers have become so
sweeping, according to Sen.
Dennis Chavez (D-N.M.), that
"it is common knowledge
most government agencies
are scared green of the Budg
et Bureau."
The bureau, which operates
in the old State Department
building on Pennsylvania
ave. next to the White House,
has been accused of holding
up funds for everything from
flood levees to military instal
lations. This, to many Con
gressmen, looks suspiciously
like the exercise of the "item
veto" a right not conferred
on the President by the Con
stitution.
Held Responsible
Some Congressmen hold
the Budget Bureau directly
resoonsible for the ' Presi
dent's successive vetoes of the
rivers and harbors bills in
the past two Congresses.
Johnson said the Democratic
Congress was not going to
"allow a political Budget di
rector" to tell it what proj
ects to "pick out for authori
zation." The federal government
has as much trouble as any
one else with inflation and ex
pensive new equipment, espe
cially the soaring costs of mis
siles and space projects. More
and more it is up to the Budg
et Bureau to say "no" to not
absolutely - essential federal
expenditures. As a result, one
Budget official told Congres
sional Quarterly, "nobody
loves us."
Many Congressmen agree;
they don't.

Vacation Reminder
To the Editor: Enclosed is

time for our animal depend
ents. If you can use it, surely
it will help serve the purpose
of prevention . of suffering.
There has already been a lo

Editor's note: Excerpts
from the reminder follow:
During the summer months
millions of owners of pets
will go on vacation. From the
standpoint of the pet, this can
be a period of disaster.
If a dog or cat is to go along
with the family, get a health
certificate from your veteri
narian. Some states require
this. Take along feeding and
drinking dishes.
Never leave1 an animal in
the car unless the windows
are partly open. Park the car
in a shady spot. Do not feed
too heavily and don't feed
while riding. Exercise your
dog three or four times a day.
Hot weather can be made
bearable if you see that shade
and plenty of cool water is
available.
If you are leaving your pet
while you are away, there are
good and bad boarding ken
nels. Check into whether the
dog will have a clean run and
good care. A cage in some
kennel is not enough.' Leav
ing the pet in your yard and
relying on a neighbor to feed
and water is shirking your
responsibility. In most cases
your pet will not get the care
it should have.

of innocent fishermen, . it is
my opinion that they should

they would receive the disci
pline needed and wouldn't
have time for any shenani

they will get wiU be the beau

they can enjoy the luxuries
that even some of the taxpay

The U.S. Armed Forces
turn down boys who have a
police record and I think a
lot of these petty offenses are
done with the idea of acquir

Instead, the cream of Amer

who in case of wap will be
killed off, leaving a bunch of

Recalls Spending

is serious talk here of an $80

President Eisenhower in the

forget their urgent anxieties
back there in the middle 30s
when Franklin D. Roosevelt
was taking off on his widely
debated spending spree.
Those big deficit-financed
New Deal peactirrre budgets
bobbed around between $6
and $8 billion with the tax
payers bellowing their an
guish as the bite became in
creasingly sever e. Neither
FDR nor Harry S. Truman,
who succeeded him had much
sympathy for the taxpayer,
especially the big. taxpayer.
Leastwise, both presidents
sturdily opposed tax cut ideas
originating with Republicans
in Congress.
It was not until Dwight D.
Eisenhower reached the
White House that a president
fell in with congressional
plans to whack taxes. That
was in 1954 when both House
and Senate as well as the
White House were Republi
can. The bellows of the an
guished taxpayers continue,
however, and are not likely
to subside.
No Magic Formula
However good President
Eisenhower's intentions have
been toward cutting govern
ment spending and further
substantially easing the bur
den on U.S. taxpayers, good
intentions have not achieved
the magic formula. On the
contrary, the first Republican
elected president in 24 years
has the distinction of being
the greatest tax gatherer in
U.S. history.
FDR was a piker by com
parison and the Eisenhower

til the Republicans took over.
Eisenhower's record most
likely will fall before the tax
collecting efforts of the pres
ident who succeeds him, be
he Democrat or Republican.
Eisenhower took office pub
licly committed to haul gov
ernment spending down to
the $60 billion level and to
keep it there.
Eisenhower couldn't do it.
The cold war policies of Niki
ta S. Khrushchev and of his
predecessors have been more
effective in determining how
much the U.S. government
should spend and for what
than have been the com
bined will of the elected offi
cials and of the people of the
United States. That is the
true measure and meaning of
the cold war which the men
in the Kremlin wage against
the West.
Truman had major defense
costs trimmed to about $13
billion 10 years ago. They are
near four times that this
year. No relief from such de
fense costs is in sight nor is
relief for the taxpayer likely
soon neither likely nor,
even, possible so long as Mos
cow can so readily call the
spending tune.
