prlso and should be exasperated
by the rationing imposed by government.
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.

degree of fairness.
HUTTER is scarce. It is offici
ally rationed. 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.

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.

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. Twenty-five vot
ers were present.
