M At.COLM EPI.KY Managing Krfitor Today's Roundup Advertising Roundup if ;'; . By - MAl.t;oL,M trwi STA'TE CAPITOL, Salem, (Special Correspondence)- evidently feast or famine for the soith Central Oregon country on this mat ter of -legislative representation. Today- we looked over a proposal which has l i Epley been fed to the legislative maw providing for re-apportionment of senators and repre sentatives on the basis of both nnmilntinn and area. This Dar- It jy- ' ff ticular idea (there will be M w' Jv others) comes from Senator : Lew Wallace, of Multnomah county, who was one of the supporters of State Senator Marshall Cornett's effort in the last session to get a fairer representation for. Klamath county. Senator Cornett of Klamath county has joined Senator Wallace , in- sponsorship of this reap portionment bill, which would require a con stitutional amendment. Under a re-districting plan worked out today on the basis of the mathematical formula pro vided in this measure, Klamath county could be made a single legislative district with one sen ator of its own and three representatives. Lake county would have one senator and two repre sentatives. At present, Senator Cornett's 17th district of five counties has one senator and five repre sentatives. Applying the slide rule to Senator Wallace's new proposal, we find this district would get four senators and seven representatives if this measure were adopted! that's more than has been hoped for down our way. The boost comes largely from the introduction of area as a factor in the ap portionment. Senator Wallace's present scheme is to base the apportionment two-thirds on popu lation and one-third on area. the south and central Oregon district is now done a little dirt by the present apportionment, on the basis of population. Senator Wallace is considering changing the scheme to a basis of three-fourths on population and one-fourth on area. A beauty of the Wallace proposal is that it would not seriously affect Multnomah county, and therefore should not attract violent op position from the powerful metropolitan bloc. Another Scheme ANOTHER reapportionment scheme being dis cussed here is a plan to change 'the num ber of senators from 30 to 31, and the number of representatives from 60 to 61. Klamath might get a better break on senatorial appor tionment by adding the one . senator. Purpose of this movement is to eliminate forever any possibility of a deadlock in either house, such as occurred at the start of this ses sion. There could be no even splits on votes with an odd number of senators and represen tatives. The plan seems to have sprung up from sev eral sources. We mentioned it in this column the day the legislative deadlock developed, aqd so far as we know that was the first sug gestion, although we have no reason to believe the same idea did not occur to others about the same time. Klamath has managed, through the repeated efforts , of , Senator Cornett and Representative SeqaSm 'to: make the senate and the state con scious of the present under-representation of our district. ' Hence, when there is talk here of in creasing the number of senators, or of any re apportionment, it is always assumed Klamath will bk given a break. If one senator is added to the upper, house, Klamath should get that senator.' - '.' . .. - Senator Cornett, who made a hard fight for re-districting in Klamath's behalf last year, may introduce the same bill this year, if these other schemes do not appear to make headway. Personalities ART BREMER, former news editor ot The Herald arid News, is here as bureau man ager for the United Press association. It seems like old times to. be writing these lines with Art sitting within our line of vision. He sat there for years at Klamath. Harry Wilson, Malin spud farmer, and George Yost, Tulelake grower, are in Salem on a meet ing of the state agricultural advisory, board. There have been two days of sessions on man power problems. . . Senator Cornett was given one of the senate's major committee responsibilities when he was named chairman of the roads and highways committee. That's the' biggest senate com mittee. ' Lee Bown, deputy superintendent of state police, who is well known in the Klamath country through his Iqng service as state police captain in that district, just dropped into the press room for a chat. We have known Lee for many years. -In fact, he and this scribe attended a murder together once, along with Herb Lundy, Oregonian correspondent here, who also is in the room at the moment. That was 14 years ago at Eugene. The years roll on! If anyone doesn't like the way war has made things here at home, it is their privilege to Join the armed forces. ' We suggest that all people caught hoarding canned goods be put in the can themselves. . A perfect boy friend always remembers his girl's birthday, but forgets her age.

LmtiawM Addison The newspaper By DELBEHT ADDISON ANYONE selling advertising is constantly reminded that he is dealing in a very intangible commodity. For instance, there's nothing in an ad that you can see, touch, hear, taste or smell to show that it has value in itself. Unless an advertiser has a pretty clear picture in his own mind of what an ad can DO, he's not inclined to lay hard earned cash- on the line to give you a piece of paper to reprint in a square on the page of the. paper. It is the advertising sales man's job, of course, to make clear what advertising can do. ad man explains that what he has to offer is an entrance into the homes of his sub scribers and at least a first hearing on what the advertiser has to say. The fellow laying his cash on the line, though, likes to look into this on his own hook, and this has led to the Continuing Study of Newspaper Reading. This Continuing Study was mentioned last week as the most scientific investigation of its kind yet attempted. It is conducted ' by the Advertising Research Foundation- of the Association of National Ad vertisers and the American Association of Ad vertising Agencies, in cooperation with the Bureau of Advertising of the American News paper Publishers association.- If you waded through that, you gathered that the study was made by the big advertisers and the people that write their ads, with the news papers lending a hand. The mass of details they dug up make a list longer than the title of the thing.. However, it takes lots of facts put together to give a true picture of the whole. After a couple of years at it, summaries have been made that tip over the apple cart on several ideas of newspaper advertising. Over-All Picture GETTING back to the study itself, the pro cess has been to take one day's edition of a paper and interview the subscribers on what they read. Every subscriber isn't inter viewed, but enough are covered to get a true average. The summary of a particular paper gives the per cent of subscribers that read each news headline, story and picture, and each head line, picture and stpry in every, ad. , ' Fifty-three different papers from all parts of the country have now been analyzed. And the 53 studies have been put together to give an over-all picture of the way we read newspapers. SIDE GLANCES Women Read Ads ONE thing we've been kidding ourselves about is that women don't read anything but society news. True enough 86 of the women look at some society picture or read some society story, but on the other hand 95 of them (bless their hearts) read some "ad vertising. And here the advertising department can swell a vest button because this 05 figure (the per cent of women reading some ad) is the highest for any part of the paper. For the men, it's 80. The comics, and1 we thought everyone fol lowed Orphan Annie, come, in with 84 of the men and 79 of the women. That is, that percentage .looked at something in the comic section. The editorials are read by 42 of the men and 25 of the women, but 85 of the men and 80 of the women look at something on that page. Low on the news side is financial news, with 29 of the men and 10 of the women looking at something there. We were taken down a peg on classified, with 32 of the men and 38 of the women looking at the want ads. ' Somehow, like comics, we thought everybody and his dog read the .want ads. ,''-.',. Don't Fool People BUT that reassuring, expansive figure of 95 (the per. cent pf women reading some ad vertising) shows forgone thing, if nothing else, that you don't have to fool people into reading the ads. ,' People look for the ads, because a good ad gives valuable information. The newspaper's bread; and butter, depart ment store advertising, which does give valu able Information, was found to be read by 86 of the women and 38 of the men. National advertising is read; by 53 of the men and 60 of the women. , By national ad vertising we mean advertising by manufactur ers, such as automobiles, cigarettes, brands Of food and the like. Department store advertising gets read by more people because department ;, stores are closer to the readers.' They know what to put in their ads that will, be matters of immediate and valuable information: . , Accurate Information , THESE summaries .give tangible and accurate information on what happens to the aver age ad in the hands of the subscribers. Remem ber that these are averages. The advertiser, of course, is interested In how he can improve his ads to get more people to read them. . That is why the study is being made. To get down to why some particular ad was read by more people than some other ad it is necessary to dig into these reports and go into more detail than can be taken up here. The effect of studies such as this, as far as the subscriber is concerned, Is that In the long vrfn v y - .tiff '..-a' ,vtf ty-.-.u. con, mi af mi arwvKx. imx t. m. wca u. ft. pat. orr "Sometimes it's kind of n nuisnncc lo Imvc such o hand some doctor lie's coming in soon and I really dont feel 'much like fixing up at nil."

We must remember that we're getting news ONLY FROM OUR SIDE, and- while what we- GET is probably true enough as far as it goes this writer is reason ably sure it doesn't go far enough to give a true and bal anced picture. Those who permit themselves to think we have the war all but won' are simply kidding them selves. ' - THAT many people are jump ing to this conclusion is proved by the rising tide of talk about what the peace is going to be and what we're going to do after the war. Whatever we do, let's not kid ourselves. That can do nothing but harm.
