" ' Keynoter's Speech Is Great Oration About Opposition (Continued from Page One) thieves are to be found in the oppo-' sltion. Nobody ever believe anything that Is said In a keynote speech. Shortlv after it is delivered. It Is forrotten. But It Is a useful device for killing some time while the party bosses get their steam rollers plied up. their delegates lined op and h-l Uailnnini ahined HO.

Stockman (R-Ore) says the Interior department bill now before a senate appropriations subcommit tee contains $150,000 for the Sprague River road on the Klamath Indian reservation in Oregon. The committee put the amount in the bill, he said, on agreement of the state to match the amount. The road would run from Cave mountain to the Klamath Falls-Lakeview highway. Stockman said he also had persuaded the house to earmark $350,000 in the bill for the Ochoco dam, a part of the Deschutes project for which the bill contains SaSO.OTO. Stockman said the condition of the old dam threatens Prineville, Ore. Both have to be approved by the senate. Sponges are a low form of animal life, with power to eat and digest. press and radio. The deals of the nartv bosses are reported to what ever estent they can be learned and exitoeed. Next Important business Is for the permanent chairman to take over. He also makes a speech that nobody pays any attention to, and then wields the gavel for the rest of the convention, standing front and center on the platform with the national committee, the party big shots and distinguished guests be hind him. the press at benches on each s'de of hm and the delegates out front on the floor. The permanent chairman Is a really Important gent. He Is hand picked by the party bosses. They want somebody who Is safe some body who can be relied on to do the right th'ng at the right time and not let the situation on the floor get out of hand. For the republicans the permanent chairman this year Is Rep. Joseoh W. Martin, speaker of the house and himself a dark horse hopeful. For the democrats, the Hon. Sum Raybum. of Texas, former speaker and now minority leader of the house. Many Committees There are various committees. The national committee is of course tops. It consists of one man and one woman the party chairman and vice chairman for each state, terri tory, possession and the District of Columbia. Election of the national chairman for each partv is the principal func tion of the national committee that and raising money and handl'ng patronage and trying to keep the partv alive between conventions, for which they are general committees on arrangements. Within each national committee, however, are the party big wigs who reallv pull the strings and have the control. Bryan, at the 11S convention of the democrats, charged that the convention was controlled by the national committee, that the na tional committee was controlled b a sub-committee of 16. that the 16 were dominated by eight, and the eight by Bow Murithv, and Boss Murphy bv Thomas Fortune Ryan. Rlrh Easterners The so-called bosses of the 1948 conventions are the rich easterners who are said to control republican national committeemen from New York, Pennsylvania and the heads ot the big suite delegations. For the democrats It's the bosses of the New York. Chicago and other big city machines. All the candidates and their managers play a part, plus the party leaders in congress. It is this play of forces which really makes Important convention decisions. Functioning for the convention alone there are several important committees made up of one or two delegates from each state. The committee on credentials has the Job of seeing that only duly elected delegates and alternates are seated and entitled to vote. If a eon test arises within any state delega tion, over whether one group of delegates should be seated or an other, the credentials committee must settle it. A common solution Is to seat both delegations and split the vol between them. Write Platform Then there Is the resolutions com. mlttee. Its Job Is to write the party platform. Membership of this com mittee is usuall7 announced In ad vance ot the convention so that It can meet, hold hearings, allow in terested pressure groups to testify on what they want In or out of the platform, and so do a real Job ot preparing what should be an Im portant document. The first partv platform was writ ten In 1640. It was only a few hun dred words lone. Todav platforms run S0OO to 10.000 words. In prac tice, the nlatform Is nsuslly a w'shv washv document aimed to please everybody, but realty satisfying no body. Like the keynote speech. It Is usually forgotten as soon as written, and It Is a perfectly meaningless document. There have been few times when the platform as written bv the reso lutions comm'ttee has not been ac eeotable to the convention or the winning candidate. Demo Fight In 1924 th democrats had a fi?ht over whether or not to denounce the Ku Klux Klan bv name. The vote was 543 720 for naming it, 543 3 30 for not naming It In the camonlgn. however. Cand'dnte John W. Davis denounced the Klan bv name, so the fight was all for nothing. In 1930 the republicans had a similar fight over endorsing or con demning the League of Nations. It was solved bv a compromise which meant nothing because in the cam paign Warren O. Harding came out openly against the league. The theory Is that the platform must be written and adopted before the candidate Is named, and It usually works that way. Tomorrow: Fleeting the candidate. Phone Rate May Go Up Over Oregon rarlfle Telephone and Telegraph company Thursday filed schedules for a proposed rate Increase In Oregon, Including the Klamath Falls eirhange, it was reported to day by Charles Kravey, local man ager for the company. beavey said the filing was with the public utilities rommlsslonrr. and will become effective In 30 days unless suspended by the l't ('. In that case, the I'l'C will hold hear ings and Issue an order within six months. In Klamath Falls, rates would be affected as follows, with the present rate and Uie proposed rule given In that order: One-party business telephone M.59 to $. Two-party business $5.25 to il.tl. One-party residence to ss.io. Two-party residence $3 to $3.15. Four-parly residence $S.60 to $3. The proposed rate boosts. 8eovey said, are based on public demniid lor telephone service that can only be furnished It the company gels price relief. Between now and the end of 1949 the company should spend $36,500,000 to enlarge and Improve j the telephone system In Oregon. Seavey asserted. Company officials said the pro posed rate boosts would bring In annually $5,500,000 more, which would net the company, after taxes, $3311.000. f ARt RACK MTm New Worlds for You to Explore on a MOVIE VACATION Go rolling down to Rio, tail the China Sea, go on a gay week-end in New York, move among new, amusing people ... on a "movie vacation."
