SENATE VOTES FOB

tor to the other four counties in
the district.
Sen. George P. Winslow, Til
lamook, chairman of the senate
elections committee, opposed the
bill on tne grounds it would give
eastern Oregon nine senators,
while it has only 16 per cent oi
the state's population.
Those voting against the pro
posed amendment were Presi
dent of the Senate Belton: Sens.
Joel C. Booth, Lebanon; W. E
Burke, Sherwood; John Carson,
Salem; Frank H. Hilton, Port
land; j. ci. Jones, jumura;
Thomas Parkinson. Roseburg:
Paul Patterson, Hillsboro; Wal
ter J. Pearson, Portland; Irving
Rand, Portland; Lew Wallace,
Portland; H. C. Wheeler, Gosh
en, Lane county; and George P
Winslow, Tillamook.
Too Many Now
Cornett said the addition of a
senator would prevent tie votes
but Jones said We've got about
25 too many senators in here
already."
Hilton said:
"The situation In Klamath
and Lake counties should be rec
tified, but we already have
enough senators.- The number
should not be increased until we
get the house representation
straightened out Reapportion
ment snouid oe accompnsneo not
by increasing the number of
senators, but by reapportioning
those we now have.
For Reapportionment
Wallace also spoke for com
plete reapportionment. Answer
ing remarks that there lsn t
room on the floor for a new sen
ator, Sen. W. H. Strayer, Baker,
pointed out that the desk of the
senate president, which never is
used because he always is on tne
rostrum, could be used.
Patterson said the resolution
would pave the way for more
pressure from other districts to
get increased representation by
increasing the number oi senators.

That is to say, he is not beyond'

There is no human reaction
more normal than to be just a
little set up and sell-important
when one first sees his home
folks after returning from an af
fair in which he played a large
and creditable part among out
standing men.;
Yet. by rather general -agree
ment FDR, coming post-haste to
congress to give a report of his
stewardship at the earliest pos
sible moment, was humbler,
more conciliatory, more anxious
to please than at any time in his
long career as President.
CONSIDERING all these
things, this question is not
an unnatural one: . -
Did Churchill and Stalin, re
membering how another Ameri
can President came to a Euro
pean conference and committed
the American people to a course
of action that was later RE
PUDIATED by the American
senate, - say flatly to President
Roosevelt:
Before we can go any farther
with these plans for shaping the
future of the world, we must
have the consent of tne u. b.
CONGRESS to these things to
which you are committing your
nation: Your commitment is not
sufficient.
"Before we can go beyond this
point, we must have concurring
action by your congress. So go
home ana get it. ;

THAT is pure speculation. It
may be MILES : from the
truth. But it does explain rather
satisfactorily this change in . at

trifle puzzling.

At least $100,000 stands on the
personal tax list which the coun
ty court Friday took upon itself
to peruse in an effort to start
collection, from the more than
200(1 Klamath county residents
and firms who have not yet paid
this fee to the assessor's office.
Thirty-sevon pages of typed
name, going back as far ; as
1927, made up the document
which County Judge U. K. Reed
er and Commissioners John
Rcber and Fred L. Pope were
thumbing through during the
routine court session. Many of
the individuals listed have long
since died. Scores of firms have
gone out of business.
At least 50 per cent of the
$100,000 involved is considered
collectable and it may exceed
this amount, the court observed.
Not collectable fees will be
"charged off" by the court, but
the main purpose is to clean up
the list and get into the county
coffers as much outstanding
money as possible.'-
The court advised it intended
to instigate a new policy in re
gard to transient livestock own
ers. In these cases, personal
taxes will be collected at the
time of assessment by the county
assessor. In tho past, the asses
or has taxed this- property, car
ried sucn on tne tax roil, ana
by the time . collection is at
tempted, the' grazing livestock
has been moved out of Klamath
county and returned to the home
area. Collection is not only dif
ficult but well nigh impossible
under this system, the court ob
served.
