In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Up in Salem the other day. Sen
ator Warren Cook, of Gresham.
made a little speech to his col
leagues in behalf of a bill to
create an U-member interim com
mittee to study ways to bring
more tourists to Oregon. He made
it sound quite worth while.
For example:
He told his hearers that tourism
is a healthy infant' in Oregon's
almost static economy. He said
tourism could become Oregon's
second industi-y this year behind
timber, but ahead of agriculture
He said tourists spent more
than $400 MILLION' in Oregon
last year.
H Thai's a lot of money.
In lOUO, the last census year,
Oregon's population was approxi
mately 1.800,000. To bring the fig
ures into round numbers, let's as
sume that our state's population
might by now have reached 2,000,
ooo. ,.
That would mean that last
year's tourist income of $400,000,
000 came lo an average ol $200
per Oregon person or $300 lor
each average family of four in
our stale.
That's a lot of NEW money.
It's worth going alter.
To bring Senator Cook's figure
of $400 million inlo accurate focus,
a w ord of .explanation is in order
here. He included in his total the
sum of $184 million estimated to
have been spent in Oregon BY
OREGONIANS vacationing in
their own state. This, added to the
$217 spent in Oregon last year
by OUT OF STATE tourists, adds
up to $401 million.
It can be argued that the tour
ist money spent by Oregonians in
their own stale isn't NEW money
which, is true. But let's put ill
this way:
If we of Southern Oregon, tor
example, could induce the people,
of O.egon to epend $100 million
vacationing in our area it would
mean the addition of $100 million
to the economy of our region.
That goes for any other area of
Oregon. A tourist dollar is a tour
ist ClOUifr Ml IOT OB roni .vb...
is concerned.
Lcl' now get back to the tour
ist problem of Oregon as a
whole.
Our state's estimated income in
ISM from out-of-stale visitors trav
eling by automobile came to a-
total Ol lt million, me esiimai-,
ed number of out-of-state cars vis
iting Oregon last year was 2.804.-1

Compromise On Apportionment
Okayed By Senate Conferees
SALEM lUPP A compromise
on legislative apportionment was
accepted unanimously today at a
less than friendly meeting of the
Senate Committee on Constitution
a!' Hevision.
The action gave a new. constitu
tion a new chance of getting to
the voters next year.
The compromise grew out of
proposals tossed out this morning
by Sen. Anthony Ylurri, R-On-tario,
whose plan has been in the
new document, and Sen. Glen
Stadler, D-Eugene. one of eight
who fought the Ylurri plan.
The eight blocked the document
on the Senate floor because they
said it mandated a prelcrence
or the least populated counties.
The essential feature of the
compromise was that it retained
the Yturri plan, but gave the leg
islature mure discretion in group
ing sparsely populated counties
and thus deciding how many seats
they should get.
The plan makes sues of the
House flexible up tn 63 and 3o
members.
The compromise also provided
that, instead of using 1-30 and
1-60 lo determine the population
unit for a seal, the current mem
bership of the House and Senate
would be used. If membership of
the houses increase, this would
