That was the overriding question yesterday as members of the legislature's joint ways and means committee met in (he capitol to study problems that will confront the special session that will convene on Monday. It's an interesting question. This is the probable answer. It was a little of both. The people of Oregon, along with the people of other states, are getting fed up with the big and ever growing burden of taxation especially federal tax lion. Taxes are beginning to BITE. From Washington: Senator Margaret Chase Smith, of Maine, is giving se rious consideration lo sugges tions that she seek the Republi can Presidential . nomination and enter the New Hampshire primary next March, her top assistant said today. Tlie Washington story adds: Mrs. Smith does not plan to comment on the matter until December 5, when she speaks before the Women's Nation al Press club, her administra tive assistant said. For the past year she has been urged by supporters throughout the country to en t e r the GOP Presidential sweepstakes. But she has been most frequently mentioned in recent months as a possible vice-presidential nominee. She is considered an inde pendent or middle-of-the-road Republican. Question: Could a woman be elected President of the United States? Well, it is possible, and is becoming increasingly possible. Back in 1!)38. George Gallup, probably the nation's best ''known pollster, put it to a vote in a poll in which both men and women participated. Fifty two per cent of those questioned said they would vote for a woman. Forty-three per cent said no. they wouldn't. Five per cent of those questioned said they hadHio opinion. Earlier this year, five years after his first poll. 55 per cent of those polled saidthey would vote for a woman (or Presi dent. 41 per cent said they wmldn't and four per cent said they didn'Pknow what they would do. Which is lo say: The idea of a woman f o r President is GROWING in ac ceptance. Oddly enough, the idea of a woman for President is more widely accepted among MEN than among women. In a poll conducted by Mr. Gallup recently. 58 per cent of the men questioned said yes. Ihcy would. 37 per cent said no. they wouldn't, and 5 per cent had no opinion. Among the women questioned, only 51 per cent said they would vole for a woman. 45 per cent said they wouldn't and (our per cent had no opinion. In other words, women are more opposed to the idea of a woman President than are men. PROJF.CT COMPLETKII KARACHI.
