If you were a smoker in 1970, chances are that you have. And if you are like the English, the chances are good that you have bought just about the same number of them. Maybe even a few more. Great Britain marched down the no-broadcast-advertising path in 1965.

In 1966, cigarette sales rose 5 per cent. This. led to the next "logical" step, an official ban, in 1967, on newspaper and magazine advertising. Consumption again rose. From 1965 through 1968, in consumption of cigarettes in Britain increased 8.75 per cent, while the population increased 1.5 per cent.

There appears to be little likelihood that our experience will be significantly different. As the ban on broadcast advertising fails to slow. consumption of cigarettes, pressure to extend the ban to the printed media will increase. If that is done, and there is. still not a.

drop in use of the offending smokers, many in the tobacco industry fear we might encounter a prohibition of cigarettes. Such a ban would not be any easier to enforce than was the ill-fated 18th Amendment. The answer-if there is one -would seem to be education, coercion. People already know that cigarettes are not good for them. The latest required label says rather positively that they are bad for them.

Yet they do not quit smoking. The Royal College of Surgeons, in Britain, calls cigarette smoke a calamity that causes 27,500 deaths a year. Yet the surgeons point out that the British government spends ten times as much each year for public education on road safety as on anti-smoking efforts. Helping Americans kick the tobacco habit will be a slow process. It should logically start in the schools, but will also involve massive efforts to convince the adult population that the "scares" about smoking are well-founded.

NEWS OF THE STATE By Don Reid Manager lowa Press Association LEGISLATURE Everything points to arduous legislative issues are many and The single, most important is the matter of taxation, answers will not come But the 64th General is off to a running fact, some oldtimers been around the nearly 40 years can't session getting off to start, Committee were made well in the actual convening. the committee assignments not inade until perhaps of the session had gone Then there is the In Focus By Chase McLaughlin Can you top this? Albert Morehouse reports seeing three pairs of cardinals at his bird feeder Tuesday morning. lowens have witnessed the inauguration of Gov, Robert Ray to a second term. It would seem logical that the term of governor should be extended from two to four years, There may be advantages to having the governor answer to the voters every two years, but there are also advantages to having him administrate without 50 much political pressure, I have attended only one inauguration of a governor, When I was a freshman at Oklahoma State University, the ROTC was taken to Oklahoma City to march In the Inaugural parade of Leon Chase "Red" Phillips and to attend his inaugural, That was back in the days when was not a dirty word on college campuses, I remember we were given 75 cents for lunch, which I might point out, was not necessarily the high point of the day. Leon Chase Phillips' parents were neighbors of my grandparents in Worth County, Mo.

My grandmother served as a midwife at the birth of the governorto-be and he was named after her son, Chase Morgan, I was also named after the same Chase Morgan, Governor Phillips was a graduate of the University of Oklahoma Law School and had been a star football player for the Sooners, The big cigar smoking governor also commencement speaker at my college graduation. He died several years ago, The young Georgia state legislator Julian Bond is the glamor boy of the younger Negro political movements, He is alert, articulate, handsome, and avail- able: for television appearances, On a recent Dick Cavett talk show, Bond deplored the apathy which he professes to find on the college campuses of the nation, "There have been very few bombings this year," he said "and I think that in a way, that's a cause for dismay." There is something sad about a lawmaker who considers a drop in lawlessness a sign of apathy. grant program for students attending private colleges, expanded aid to the area community college, a long-term bonding plan for state universities, more financial support to education at all levels, He subsequently ticked off a number of major areas of concern and what he regarded as accomplishments in these areas, He touched on the state's economy and in a word the governor is "optimistic." While the national financial downturn and work stoppages of the last 18 months have not affected Iowa as severely as most states, he said, nevertheless Iowa has not escaped their impact, This sliding economy, Ray added, has affected both individual a Iowans and state government, "The short- record for Iowa's basic industry-agriculture- been bleak, and only a fool would try to do a cosmetic snow- -job on that intractable fact," he told the lawmakers, Ray will have more to say on the state's economy and taxes in a subsequent speech to the legislators, His budget message, probably his major address, will be delivered later this month, Ray said his office stands ready to "harmoniously and cooperatively" help lawmakers in their tasks ofdrafting, deliberating and passing legislation needed and beneficial to Iowa, JEPSEN As the Senate opened for business, its presiding officer, Lieuthe tenant Governor Roger W. Jepsen delivered a welcoming speech, another tradition, Our greatest challenge, he told the senators, "is the challange from the cynics in this country who say that a democratic system government cannot deal with the problems of our complex society, out- "Those who would destroy our be system of government claim that ac- it cannot meet the challenges two today. for one, do not find in- the idea of representative democracy an archaic concept Where Has the Golden-Egg Goose Gone?

this legislature through hard work, cooperation and bipartisan unity, can produce anwers to some of our state's problems, we will have done our part to meet this greatest of all challenges," Jepsen continued, "There can be no better answer to those who claim that American society is crumbling and that its government is outmoded than a positive example of governmental achievements," Jepsen, who is being mentioned with increasing frequency as a potential candidate for governor in two years, surprised many by commention on the relationship between a governor and lieutenant governor, "Many times in the past," he said, "when the governor's office and the legislature were controlled by the same party, a coolness developed between the legislative and executive branch of government, Often this has resulted in open conflict, Such conflict never serves the best interests of the people of the state, "From things one hears and reads, it appears the climate is right for this situation to develop again in this session, I will do what I can to see that it does not happen, and I urge all of you to do the same" Jepsen told the senators, HARBOR Still another speech, This one by William Harbor, Henderson Republican, who was elected to his second term as speaker of the Iowa House, "Almost all issues," he said, "carry with them high priority ratings and we will be meeting them head-on, We will demand the Congress recognize the critical fiscal position of the cities, towns and county government and immediately take action on revenue sharing. "We will make it crystal clear that the element that seeks to destroy our form of government and turn our state into a survival of the fittest, is not welcome and will be dealt with by a firm hand in no uncertain terms, We of welcome our youth and invite them to take a more active, responsible role in government, We intend to furnish the necessary services commenserate of with our ability to pay, and in an equitable manner. "As you can see, we will be as busy." Yes, indeed! Happenings on the hill By Representative Berle Priebe Monday we opened our session at 10 and while we were In session all members were sworn in, We adjourned until the afternoon when we came back and drew for our seats, You have to draw by senority ranks, The oldest member in point of service is Dewey' Goode so he was the first one drawn after the Speaker Pro Tempore and the Majority and Minority Leaders, Of course, the new members have to draw last, My seat number is 68. which 1s a very good seat due to my post leadership, I was able to draw ahead of my group which 18 the reason, Tuesday was spent in orientation for the new legislators and necretaries, Wednesday we worked on a highly controversial bill which 'is federal sharing of revenue and also a constitutional convention, I question very much 12 we will get much federal money back, Iowa does get back 1,7 dollars now for every one dollar we now contribute, However, I did vote for this; most Democrats opposed this strictly because of the constitutional conventional clause. It did get very controversial, Thursday we had several non-controversia! bills and we adjourned until the afternoon when we met at Veterans Auditorium for the inaugural of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor and we heard the Governor's Inaugural Address, I will not comment on this speech as it was covered by all he news media, We adjourned until Monday morning at 10 but we did have the Inaugural Ball on Thursday night, This is the social highlight of the session, There were all types of formals and semi- worn; some of the dresses were very beautiful, My wife and I were in the Grand March because we were part of the Inaugural Committee, I was real happy to see so many people from my area, I really tried to meet with all of you but I know I missed a lot of you, This week we will be getting more bills and we will be having all of our committee meetings, We will be getting bills assigned to our committees already for study, Probably the new Item which created the most interest was State Superintendent of Public Instruction resigning, This will help a lot with our taxpayers and our schools who felt he was too dictatorial.

I do feel the State Board of Public Instruction should not have created a new job for Paul Johnston, This seems to be a way of taking care of people who are defeated or who cannot be confirmed, I will be reporting every week to you in this paper and also on the local radio station, Please feel free to write to me at the State House, Just write to me in care of the State House, Seat No, 68, Des Moines, Iowa 50319, The telephone number of the House of Representatives is 281-3221 If you wish to call.
