Some Industry source said the effect would be negligible. Companies which produce the gas and sell It to the Interstate pipelines aald uie court';, action would eventually result In higher consumer prices. Target of the high court's rul Ing In the much-discussed Phillips Petroleum Co. esse wss the so- called wellhead price of nstursl gss. That's Uie price the cross country pipeline companies pay for the gas uiey buy in the mejor oil producing states like Loulslsna and Texas. The court asld Uie Federsl Power Commission not only hsa the right to ael these prices but sn obligstlon to do so. Like msny other oil-producing companies, Phillips sells a huge amount of natural gaa, much of It obtained aa a by-product of Uie company oll-drllling operations. The gsa la extracted from the company's wells and delivered to the big Interstate carrlexs over a Phtlllps-owned "gathering" pipe line system. The Interstate pipeline compsnles transport the gss to consumers as far away aa Connec ticut, Michigan and California. The interstate pipeline carriers (they've been subject to federal control of their ratea right along) Inevitably seek to pass any hike In field prices on to Uie ultlmste consumer ss an Increased operat ing coat. In most Instances, the wellhead cost la a mere fraction of Uie price paid by Uie end eon (rumer. This la particularly true If Uie (as must be piped under ground hundreds or even thou sands of miles across Uie country.

The long-standing argument of the oil companies la that field prices of gas, Ilka prices of crude oil, should be exempt from federal regulation because of Uie high cost and extreme financial risk Involved In hunting for gaa and oil. State Constitution Group Split Over Change Methods By PAUL W. HARVEY JK. SALEM Pov, Paul L. PsU lerson's plsn to csll a convention to write a new stste Constitution got sue vera setbsck last weekend. The Constitution Revision Com mittee, appointed Jointly by Uie Legislature and the governor, spilt down llio middle on whether a con vention should be held. Thai's going to make It very hard lor Uie governor lo convince the Leglslslure, which meets here next Junusry, thai a convention Is the answor. Hie committee voled 7 to 6 for a convention, with three members absent. In his message to the IBM Legis lature, Pnlterson msde the consti tutional convention his No. 1 re quest. He asked that the Legisla ture submit a proposal 10 the peo ple to have a convention. The Legislature balked. Instead, It provided lor the present com mittee to recommend whether Uie Constitution needs to bo changed, snd whether It should be rewritten si a convention. Nearly everybody agrees with the governor's position that the Constitution needs some drsstic cutting slid revision. It hssn't been overhsulcd since Oregon became a s)ale In 18.10, and It contains a lot of matter that has no business be Uig In a Constitution. The argument Is over how it should be done. The governor doesn't think It can be done properly by hsvlng the people vote on amendments sub mitted by the Legislature, The six member minority of the committee wsnts It done that way. Patterson believes Ihst a thor ough lace lifting Job can be done only by having a convention write a new one. The fear of a convention la based on Uie premise that II might tske swsy some of the rights of Uie people. For Instsnce, Uie Isbor snd fsrm groups which oppose a isles tax are afraid that a convention might make It possible for Uie Legisla ture to put emergency clauses on tsx bills. This would prevent Uie people Irom hsvlng a veto power over Uie Leglslsture's tax bills. One member of the ConstlluUon Revision Committee ssld this: "I sgree with the governor that the Constitution should be revised. But I'm afraid that If we have e convention, It might come up with something morse then we have now." ' The governor's answer to this argument ts Ihst experts would drsft proposals for a new Consti tution and submit them to the pro posed convention. Those opposed to Uie convention Idea ssy Uist uie best wsy Is for Uie Leglslslure to drsft a series of smendmcnts lo revise the Consti tution, -snd submit them to Um people. The danger hero Is Umt the people might vote sgalnst some of the vllsl provisions, snd thus leave the stste with sn In complete Constitution. If the 1W5 Legislature decided lo do It by amendment, then the people would vote on them st Uie 1066 general election, If the Legislature voted for a convention, Uien tho people would have to decide on whether lo hold it, loo. Tlicn the people would elect their delegates lo the convention. After the convention finished Its new Constitution, then Uie docu ment would be submitted to the people, wiw would decide whether to accept or reject the whole thing. The convention process probably would lake about four years from the time the Leglslslure voted for the convention until Uie people voled on the new Constitution. Tills Issue will be one of the most controversial of Uie next Leglslslure. Patterson, who worked hard to sell Uie Idea to the 1 853 Leglsls lure, promises to work even hard er at the next session. Oregon Grain Storage Needed Notwithstanding bad weather It Is still expected that In Oregon Uie grsln crop will greatly ex ceed available storage. The grain acreage in the Klam ath Basin Is sometwhat greater thsn last year and even with un usual losses due to dry weather snd low temperatures, growers who do not have adequate storage should be giving this some thought. Barley without storage might sell at a greatly reduced price. The ASC office In the Tower Theatre building can provide in formation as to government loans for new grain storage.
