The coal burning railroads were practically shut- ting; up shop, and when the rail roads stop nearly EVERYTHING stops In this country, whose In dustries are built on transporta- Horn F you want to be well-informed, remember that the coal strike hasn't been called oft What we - have is a- two-weeks truce during which: coal will be mined while the wage negotiating goes on But,, with the country all stir red up, It is going to be hard to stop mining coal again. THE thing to keep in mind is that whatever settlement Is arrived at will doubtless include higher wages for the miners, to be followed by higher prices for coal which is a basic raw ma- terlaf for nearly everything, so that ALL prices will ultimately rise as a result. What the miners gain in wages aill be taken away from them, snd in the long run they will merely have put money into one pocket to be later taken out of (mother pocket, in an equal or greater amount. rIAT is what we call the Infla tionary spiral, which is al ready beginning to function with terrifying speed. Tf unchecked, its result will be ruin. What makes us nervous is the knowl edge that the more speend a runaway train gains as it careens down a steep grade the harder it is to STOP. And the worse the crash at the bottom of the hill. HERE In Oregon wo have an in teresting, half-humorous, but by no means reassuring develop ment in the recent news. Governor Snell declined to- call a special' session of the legisla ture to fix up existing law so that the Portland school district can levy more money, Including money for recreation and sports. There has ben a "strike" of Port land pupils. School officials es tlmate that 2,000 to 3,000 were ab sent from clttsscs Thursday. The "strikers" swarm, laugh ing, through the streets, chanting "we want sports." They hang an effigy of the governor on a pole. A Republican candidate for state senator from Multnomah county joins in the disturbance, seeking to garner all the VOTES lie can out of the ruckus. THERE is such a tiling, even in these days, as discipline. A wholly undisciplined people sim ply CAN'T be an efficient people. Tlmt is why the Portland de velopment caii't be regarded wholly as a joke, even, if the school "strike" has been carried on in a good-natured, show-off sort of way.- - IT is probably a part of the gen I eral spirit of tiniest and (utili ty that now ervade the world, People1 WANT to do something to get back to a normal peace time way of. life, but wherever they turn they fare frustration. If Ihey try to build a- house to live in, they run Into a- shortage of materials- that stops- them in their tracks-. Whatever of a com structive nature they attempt seems- to end up against a high wall. Only the raw materials of dis turbance and discontent seems to be present in unlimited supply.

CITY BUDGET PREPARED By CHARLES The budget committee for the City of Roseburg has reached a decision concerning estimated expenditures for the coming year and is preparing to submit its official rec ommendations to the city council for adoption. The budget, as outlined, linancial needs, but includes 6 per cent limitation. In a, time of prosperity, when we can afford to pay taxes for needed improvements to our city, our municipal tax rate actually will be reduced, througn operation of the obsolete 6 per cent law, unless the city council decides a special elec tion to be necessary to secure The budget committee has election and has kept expenditures within constitutional oounds, but a great deal of thereby. A budget committee is commendation and appreciation. Under Oregon's freak law, a group of citizens, most of whom are totally uninformed upon detailed, procedure of municipal management, are called in to determine what the municipality or other tax levying body should spend for the ensuing fiscal year". The members of this committee must struggle to learn facts and arrive at conclusions. Few have had experience with administrative public problems. We would brand as imbeciles the management of a. large corporation which: would call street to outline ita business polices for the ensuing year. Yet that is exactly the method we use in civic business. A budget committee given mighty tough spot. The group burg's budget worked long and deal of time and study to the investigation. They trimmed within the limits prescribed The situation in the future cause of an amendment by the last legislature requiring budget committee members to be appointed for staggered terms-. Thus the majority will be experienced when the next budget period rolls around and, knowing that they are. to serve again, will,, perhaps, keep in closer contact with ad ministrative affairs. But the amount of money tion during the next year is needed improvements, yet it a special election. It contains few changes from previous years, except for sums included to meet the city's proportion of the retirement fund for employes, and a proportionate share toward the cost of a proposed county sanitary engineer. Nothing was included to cover the cost of charter revision and proposed change to city manager form of government. An item of $7,000 is provided for recreational activities, far too little to meet our need although the budget committee und us possible be earmarked There is no money in the budget for separation of storm and sanitary sewers, an urgent expanding population. These and other omissions mittee. Responsible for the condition is an archaic law, in flexible and binding, which should cither be repealed in its entirety or extunsively amended.

Dusette, Angelo Draw; Kiser Wins Over Martinelli Georges Dusette and Bruno Angelo wrestled to a one-fall apiece draw on the weekly card at the Roseburg Armory Satur day night, but the decision of Referee Owen evoked a roar of disapproval, from the nearly 600 spectators, who thought Dusette should have been awarded the verdict, because the Italian on several occasion lunged into the ropes lo stave off defeat. In the first round, which lasted 38 minutes 5 seconds, Bruno con centrated his offense on Dusette's left arm with a series of ham merlocks and leg stomps that finally forced the muscular Ca nadian to yield the fall. During that session, however, Bruno twice sought the refuge of the rojies to escape the deadly full nelson hold and also sui-vived two punishing headlncka.

Although the- feed situation is the worst it has ever been, it is still anything but wise to. try to hoard feed. We have- heard of some hoarders, principally own ers of small flocks, and we think. invariably people who haven't tried out reed hoarding. A couple years ago, when we lirst oegan- hearing of "short ages" a few growers "got wise" in. the spring, and stored up enough feed for the entire year. They felt good all over,. nothing to worry over, and the turkeys grew line a weed on a manure pile. They felt sorry, of course. for other growers who were not so smart, but not sorry enough to lose any sleep. But along in July, the poults began to slow down in their growth. Appetite wasn't so keen. Got anemic, and finally wouldn't eat nor grow at all; So the "wise boys" had- to go- out and get other new and fresh feed, l which had become more plenti ful after the hoarders got what they wanted). By mixing in this fresh feed; they coaxed their birds to con sume the old, rancid, hoarded stocks, and finally got rid of it. Though, to be sure, some grow, ers had to feed it to hogs, which was a dirty trick on the hogs. Whether it be cigarettes, sutrar or turkey feed, just two things cause extreme shortages. ( 1 ) The Government, about which nobody seems to be able to do anything; (2) Hoarders, among which -you certainly don't want ft- be classed. I Except whiskev and violins, very few articles improve witn age. Coffee gels weak;, pork gets- rancid: cigarettes- get bitter:- and feed eels all three. The birds won't eat it weH enough to grow well enough 10 pay you wen enough lor your time, money and-worry.) No, don't hoard feedi It snnila it for you and your neighbor too. It makes you unpopular when people know it. Still, it's no- fun hoarding if we can't boast about it to others. So it leaves no eood reason for hoarding. INTERESTING FICURE5.
