(We've dropped 65,00p tons in two weeks.) THERE'S nothing' new from Russia. The general guess is that the Russians arc doubling up Their lists to deliver the mightiest blow ever delivered by a land dimy since the world began. THE tides arc being watched by the Germans and the Swedes. 'They are supposed to he most favorable for invasion tn the first two weeks of May. The Germans sny they are bombing MASSES of invasion vessels In British har bors. ,UH always troubled home 1 front is in unusual turmoil. ,' the occasion is the seizure of , Ward's big STORE in Chicago, .' This is the point that worries ' people: Ward's Chicago store ISN'T on .essential war industry, it DOES . N'T manufacture ships, Rtins, ' tanks, plunes or ammunition. If . it had been closed tight by a - strike, It Is to be presumed that .' Its personnel would have been absorbed by the war industries ' that DO manufacture ships, guns, ' tanks, planes and ammunition. Thus the direct war effort Would I have been PROMOTED, rather . than hindered. So people wonder uneasily WHY It was seized by the govern ment. IF the government can seize Ward's Chicago store, it can seize ANYUODYfS store. If It can seize a store, It can seize a ltou.se. One can't help thinking: "If I have a disagreement with the man who is mowing my lawn, will the government seize my house to FORCE ti settlement?" E UIC JOHNSON, speaking In other night, New York the said: "There were formerly three economic estates - management, labor and agriculture. We now have a fourth a huge, sprawling, POWER-HUNGRY government." We see this huge, sprawling government using Its power to SEIZE STORES. The sight na turally disturbs us. DEWEY, speaking also In New York, wonders if our foreign policies (whatever they are to be) will be carried out according to CONSTITUTIONAL METHODS. Seizing a Chleugo store WITH OUT A WAfJItANT from n niiii-l ISN'T a constitutional procedure. Nobody needs to tells us that. We know It. So we Join with Dewey In won dering where all this disregard of the constitution is going to lead Us.' , ' A lot of us can't help fearing It Is going to lead us In a direction We don't want to go. NEWSPAPER people, of course, are more worried by these trends than others. They have SALARIES FOR TEACHERS By Charles UNLESS Unrest among persons engaged in the school teaching profession abates in the near future, there is great danger many 'smaller communities, will riot be able school .year. . ' , , , Turnover in teaching staffs of schools generally through out the1 state has been unusually high, , Many teachers have been dropping put, of the profession, notorious for its low scale of salaries, to 'enter higher paying war . industries. This, naturally, leads' to a' reshuffling, with those in the lower-salaried groups sacking places whore higher re muneration is obtainable. At the same time, fewer replacements have been avail able. Practically no young sion for the past three years, tary service or into war production. Young women also find the war industries a more lucrative field and are choosing the work bench in preference to the school desk. .Shortages existing everywhere throughout the state afford teachers opportunities to move ing jobs in localities they particularly prefer and to obtain far more rapid advancement than would be possible, in normal times. Douglas county schools are elsewhere, with a turnover teaching staff. Roscburg, for instance, with lost 15 of its instructors. Sutherlin has lost 6 out of 10. Drain 5 out of 12, Reedsport of 5, Myrtle Creek 2 out of Oakland 4 out of 9, Canyonville 3 out of 6, Gardiner 2 out of 5, and Glide 2 out of 7 a totiil of 45 vacancies out 6f 130 positions. The figures Quoted of the places having been filled by contracts since resigna tions were listed. Tho Roseburg board already has sub mitted contracts to ten teachers leaving only five vacancies to be filled. The wide disparity in salaries is one reason for the pres ent rate of turnover. Teachers are hot to be criticized ff they can improve their condition through the opportunities offered by the emergency. , With all districts clamoring for teachers, it is only to bo expected that those paying the highest salaries shall have the opportunity to select the best instructors whilo other districts will have an opportunity to pick and choose only in proportion to the ratio of salaries paid.' ' , . ; That is one reason the directors of the Roseburg school district have authorized an increase, at least for the perlotj of the emergency, in, salary schedules. Among 12 first class districts from Salem south, liose burg's rates of pay have been extremely low. A survey eml bracing the, schools of Salem, Albany, Eugene, Corvallis, Cottago Grove, North Bond, Marshfield, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford, Ashland and Klamath Falls place Roseburg salaries in the following relative positions : Senior High Junior High Elementary The ratio of salaries for elementary 10th, junior high Gth, senior high 9th. It is quite evident from the figures above that Roseburg must increase salary schedules if qualified teachers are to bo found to fill vacancies. Yet, therein lies another danger, If school districts start bidding for teachers on a competi tive basis, a dangerous cycle, creating a most unhealthy condition, can arise. The richer districts call make the highest bids for teaching services and thus freeze out the districts with low Income. j Teachers, as has been stated, have been notoriously under paid. They are entitled to salaries in keeping with educa tional qualifications, experience and length of service. An Increase to bring tho profession in line with salaries and wages paid in industry and business is essential. But some organized effort should bo made to prevent runaway com petitive bidding. , At best, the small rural school is going to find it mighty tough to provide staffs for the forthcoming year. Consoli dations and transportation may provide the answer to part 01 me problem, but the shortage is too widespread and too acute to bo solved entirely by such means. Instead, the u-aciiing proiession must be .made sufficiently attractive to draw back those who have gone into business or indus trial pursuits. seen their own COOPERATIVE enterpilze, the Associated Press (exactly similar to a cooperative creamery or a co-operative can nery 1 bludgeoned by the govern ment when It declined to admit to its membership a RICH AND POWERFUL FRIEND Of THE GOVERNMENT.

LETTERS to the Editor NATIONAL PERIL SEEN IN LIQUOR TRAFFIC RAVAGES Editor News-Review: 1 Recently many things have brought to my mind the thought that we ordinary folks have not given proper and due considera tion to the ravages of the liquor traffic. Wo Americans rightfully boast of ourselves being a race of "su perlatives." We hear of the ex ploits of our fighting boys and we are proud of them and thank God for the heritage which made them. We consider our war pro duction and have reason to pat ourselves on the back; although we know that excepting our farm production, the remarkable war effort accomplished in our de fense plants is largely dependent on the genius of a, few, the very weight 'of ; 'numbers and the ex cellence of our machines. If we knew the acitual efficiency of tho average laborer, we would be shocked. In fact, we have been patting ourselves on the head to such an extent that we have knocked ourselves into a stab; of RADIO COMEDIAN HORIZONTAL 1,5 Pictured comedian 10 Cubic meter 1 1 Nets 13 Symbol for platinum 14 Eat 16 First woman 17 Parent 19 Brazilian macaw deprcsfion 5 Liko 6 Look askance 7 Exist 8 Compass 1 9 Symbol - neon 10 Leather strip 12 Bow ling term 13 Golf term 15 And (Latin) 18 Consumed 21 Clothins 20 Mimic 22 Baseball stick 22 Evil 23 Absorbed 25 Peel 26 Nuisance 23 Conceal 29 Sloth 30 Within 31 Bird 33 Canvas shelter 36 Wafers 37 Forefather 39 Age 40 Teacics 45 Metal fastener 46 Ells Scotch (abbr ) 47 Serpent 48 Terror AO Size of shot M Wandering 54 Ascend 55 He appears on the 37 Current VERTICAL 1 Foot (abbr ) 2 Crimson 3 Silkworm 4 Small ... 24 Czars 25 Evei greens - 27 Important metal 28 Strike 1 I. 11 y I li Is T" - ,i n Tl;- '5 T" IS iC" " tt" T.

We are so blinded by propaganda that we cannot see our own blind leader ship and the ultimate pit; that we ore the most deluded of all present-day nations; that our diet of deceptive half-truths is our most destructive enemy; that the mor al delinquency, especially of our youth, in the past decade is so terrible we refuse to believe it; and that the apostasy in the last few years, In the light of our for mer divine blessings, reaches even beyond the superlative, and that these evils are largely trace able to booze from 3.2 and up. Our indifference would ascend to sublime heights, were not the re sults so hellish. Monday evening, the people of Roscburg and vicinity wfire priv ileged to hear truths on which the very existence of our nation depended. In the audience were less than five persons who might be classed business or profession al men and so-called moulders of public opinion or appointed, or self-appointed, guardians of the public welfare. The questions arise: are these master minds too busy to have time for anything dealing with morality and com mon decency? Can only personal profit, political advantage or the urge of self-security motivate folks today? Are w4 to believe that we Americans are willing that the souls and bodies of our neighbor's sons and daughters be spent that their own self-gratification or security, may be appeas ed or secured? We who are giving our boys that American ideals and tradi tion may be preserved, and find that one of the primary planned purposes is the development of a postwar beer appetite, we should soon be past the wondering stage end begin to do something about it.

Ralph H. Cake, national committeeman from Oregon, told a group of Douglas county republican leaders at a luncheon meeting at the Umpqua hotel Sat urday. The republicans lost last election by only 500,000 votes, Cake stated, and in every In stance the deciding factor was In the large cities. A half-million votes properly divided In metro politan centers would have de feated Roosevelt and elected Will kle 'In the electoral college, he said. The national committeeman charged republican leadership with many failures in past years and emphasized' that an aggres sive campaign must be waged not only on a national scale, but more particularly in each Indi vidual precinct and by each re publican party member. Cake, -who has become one of the outstanding national leaders In the republican party, and who was actively campaigning on be- nail ot Wendell Willkie, reported that Willkle's decision to rest his fate on the action of Wisconsin voters was reached as early as last January, i , ? New Deal's Defeat Wanted "Willkle's one purpose is to de feat the New Deal," Cake assert ed. "He is willing to sacrifice his own interests in order that a change in administration may be achieved. It was fully decided that convention time would be too late to start the campaign for a republican nominee, particular ly u sores Had been left by pri mary fights. Consequently Will kie agreed to stake his entire po litical fortune on the outcome In Wisconsin and when defeated in that state, he withdrew graceful ly, as he had promised to do." The action of tho present ad ministration in seizure of private property without due process of law, Cake said, in referring to the president's action in forcibly taking over the Montgomery Ward company store, has caused people to stop and think. . "There is nothing we can do about it," he declared. V'As long as the federal government, is((o be operated on such policies, no private enterprise is safe. The only way such nets, can be stop- pea tne only way total regimen tation can be avoided is to make a change in administration and that is my one purpose In this campaign." Mr. Cake, a candidate for re election as national committee man, stopped in Roseburg, en route to Coos Bay. He was ac companied by Hugh Rossen, for merly with the University of Ore gon, now serving with a large insurance and loan agency. . The Committee for Economic Development estimates from 53.- 000,000 to 56,000,000 civilian Jobs, as compared with 46,000,000 in 1940, will be necessary to avoid mass unemployment after the war.
