PERHAPS efficiency is the test by which we should judge these two forms of rationing the unofficial, private enterprise rs. the ofifclal, public kind. Let's take a look at cigarettes. They are scarce there can be no doubt of that. They aro increas ingly hard to come by. The two-packs-a-day consumer has to waste a lot of time digging up tills two packs. Undoubtedly there is a lot of hoarding. Preventing hoarding guaranteeing to everybody his share of that which Is scarce Is the announced purpose of official, run-by-the-govcrnment rationing. But have you seen ANYBODY who just COULDN'T come by ANY cigarettes? This writer hasn't, and it is his firm convic tion that the cigarette snortage isn't hurting anybody. ACADEMIES ON WEST COAST minntsnimnhm; !: . CIGARETTES are rationed let there be no doubt as to that. They are rationed by this process: The armed services (and may be lend-lease) TAKE AT THE SOURCE what they need. What is left over Is distributed to the public by the ordinary processes of private commerce. The manu facturer divides his supply tip among the distributors. The dis tributors divide up with the wholesalers. T h e wholesalers divide up with the retailers. The retailers APPORTION THEM OUT to the consumers. IN this final process ot appor tionment by the retailer there is admittedly a lot of dealing from under the counter some times two or three packs at a time and sometimes in carton lots. What the retailer Is doing is TAKING CARE OF HIS CUS TOMER. After all, what Is sound er or more fundamental In American business than taking care of your customer? If you are training your son to be u sales man, and want him lo be a sue uessfttl one, what do you teach him? Wliy. you teach him to take cure of Ills customers so fairly and so well that they will buy from him with confidence. And GO ON buying from him. Ameri can business is founded on RE TEAT customers -people who go on buying at the same place be cause they feel that they are well taken care of there. The retailer who deals ciga rettes from under the counter at the regular, established price (no black marketing, no bootlegging Is merely taking care of his regu lar, established customers who provide the bulk of Ms living. TAKE a look at it from this angle: Cigarettes are admittedly scarce. There must have liven some induction of consumption by some Individuals. Hut have you seen anybody going wholly without. This writer hasn't. The private, unofficial system of mak ing die existing supply go around teems to work with a reasonable: : ' 1 I I I i I : ! ! ! i I ' BV Charle! V. Stanton ', " , ' ; . , ; II 'S; SENATOR dUV COftDON of Ro.seburjr hns : intra ,"' diiced a bill ij Congress to provide tiaval and military academics on the Pacific coast. ' There are, many good reasons, we believe, why this pro ject should receive support.' West Point and Annapolis, where our professional army and navy officers now receive their academic, .military; training, are situated on the At lantic coast. In the coming years the Pacific area is certain to be of increasing importance to the United States, not only in world trade but also in possible military activities. More and more of our .military and naval strength must be cen tered in the Pacific theater. . Men trained on the Pacific coast; with yrtdov knowledge of prevailing conditions, would liave advantages ovor fellow officers trained on the Atlantic coast, where interest is more generally centered hi the Eu- ropean theater. Compulsory military training, in some form undoubted ly will follow the current war. We hope we will never again permit our army and navy to become as dangerously weak as in the period after the first World war. If we maintain a policy of adequate preparedness, as we should do, a large increase in the number of officers trained in military and naval academies will be necessary. The states of Oregon, Washington and California offer hundreds of most suitable sites for the proposed institutions. Sons of the three states, graduates of West Point and Ann apolis, are distinguishing themselves on the world's battle fronts today. Seldom has there been a time when there were not more applicants for entrance into the existing acade mies from the far western states than could be accepted. There would bo little difficulty, we believe, in keeping two Pacific coast academies well supplied with capable students. We believe Senator Cordon's bill to be justified and timely. No Fingers in Legislature's Pie SOME political writers have complained that Governor Snoll's message to the state legislature sidestepped contro versial issues and lacked the tone of aggressive leadership. We have become so accustomed to having executive de partment leaders impose their wills upon legislative bodies, that when a governor keeps his fingers out of the lawmak ers' pie it doesn't seem natural. We delight in a governor who is not trying to dictate to a legislative body. There were several points of his message, however, which we believe should receive utmost consideration from the lawmakers. The governor requests a thorough study of the slate's tax system. Certainly this should not be delayed. Oregon has always sought to raise revenue principally from two sources, property and income, with direct levies on each. We have in recent years branched out to include taxes on gasoline to support roads. But more money will be needed for schools, roads, airports, pensions, and numerous , other state-supported activities. Washington, on the north, and California, on the south, both tap many sources of revenue which Oregon does not touch. Our tax structure has been remodeled and patched so many times it is surprising that it holds together. We need to build a totally new structure, and what advice could be belter than that we employ a firm of competent architects to draw the design? Another phase of his message, dealing with stale adver tising to attract tourist business, also attracted our interest. The governor said : I believe that it is generally recognized that Oregon is the top ranking recreational and inspirational playground of the Union. We must capitalize on our great tourist potentialities- It Is an industry the Income from which is esti mated roughly at fifty million dollars. It should be doubled. Let's do It. To help accomplish that purpose lias been a major pro ject here in Douglas county, but aid is needed from the legislature. For one thing, we must stop the destruction of our fishing streams by commercial interests. We must maintain roadside beauty. We must empower our county courts to preserve for the future free access to fishing t-treams, and to provide public parks and playgrounds. We must encourage construction of commercial accommoda tions for our tourist visitors. The governor's message, it is true, were not the words of a dictator, but they placed plenty of work and responsi bility upon the legislature. Goodness I: VVba'cl EverTmV.fclt'c!

IF YOU HAVE THE POINTS, you can usually get a little butler somewhere. 11 you're out of points, you go with out. 11 you're out of points, you're out of butter just as surely as you're out of cigarettes if you caul find any to buy. ALL this Is uhtc moralising. It gets us nimhi'iv. We have food rationing, ;l'1(l U s going to be with us until the war ends. Having stalled It. we'd be foolish to wipe it all out and start over. You can't win a war by the pro cess of fits anil starts. But LET'S NOT ACCEPT tile doctrine that ONLY GOVERN MENT can deal laiiiy by the ueoole and that private business Is inherently wicked and crooked and has to have Its e.us kmnked down. Ill that way lies luminal lanism. H is this writer's obs. Tv.itli'it and belief that the niHonum ih.it has been practiced by pniate business to spread out tliv supplx of certain scarce commodities such as cigarettes, candy, gum, etc.. lias worked just about .1.- fairly and perhaps even more satisfactorily than the fancy gov-erninent-run point system. KFi N R Sutherlin Heeds Additional High School Teacher SUTHERLIN At the regular meeting of the hoard ol directors, I held iuesuay, Jan. z, Ivan C Parker, superintendent of schools ot District 130, was appointed clerk-of tho-works tor the new school building now under con struction. This appointment car ries with it additional responsi bilities for the superintendent. Supervision and inspection of the works must be carried on con tinuously to see that all materials used, all workmanship and all other parts and phases of the construction follow the plans and specifications. With this added to his regular duties as super! hV tendent, coach, and class room teacher, it is thought that the hir ing of an additional teacher in the high school should he done immed'aleiy to relieve Mr. Par ker uf his teaching duties. A teacher with a science and SDcial scieni-e background will be needed and it" anyone knows a hih schojl teacher not now un der contract, his giving such tn-Inrm.-ition to the clerk of the board or the superintendent o. schools would t)L appreciated:, Work is progressing - rapidly and in good form on the new con struction. The ground has been leveled and filled and forms are being constructed to pour the concrete footings. At the special school meeting held at the school building, Tues day evening, Jan. 9, Gordon Epps of Sulhertin was nominated and elected to till out the unexpired term of Director Lawrence Rob ertson, retired.
