Well, our pay In dollars isn't so bad, In comparison with what our dads earned, but what's a dollar in these days? At best. it's only about 40 cents. We have to work 16 hours a day to get our bills paid." a a AS the conversation develops, it becomes apparent that he is clear in his own mind as to whoi is at fault In all this mess. "It's them Jews in New York," he says with a note of frustration in his voice. At this point, the other young fellow breaks in. "Yeah," he con cedes, "but did you sec the other day where they'd bought a lotta bonds at three-quarters of one per cent interest? They aren't getting rich, at that." This stops his companion for a moment, but he mutters: "Hell, they've got enough dough. They tan stand It." a ' IT comes out in the course of the chit-chat that the Jew-corn- plainer isn't necessarily art iintl Semite. In his mind, "Jew" 1b Just a generic term lor money power. "It s theso fat guys wan the dough bags that are ruining us," he maintains grumly. At lenst, It's an old, old diag nosis. The haves and tho have- nots have been suspicious of each other for moro centuries than we can count on our fingers and our toes combined. a a a AFTER all, that is whut is muin ly wrong with us at this par tlcular moment. We're all SUS- PICIOUS of EVERYBODY. There is so little tolerance. And so much ill will. That is ono of the terrible thines about incipient Inflation, with its phenomenon of: constant ly rising prices that keep us up set and scared. We may be will ing to admit that we're all right this week, but with the specter of rising; prices haunting us con stantly we're nervous about NEXT week. We'll have' to get inflation stopped, somehow, before we can think straight enough to get the mess (which always follows big wars) straightened out. a a a rOMING over the bay on the ferrv. a minor eiicf is en countered. This writer's compan ion at the coffee counter on the boat IWes up the valley and is coming to thu city to Ret his glasses checked, lie had to take the train at 4:13 A. M. and he won't get home until around mid- nleht. A day and halt tne mgnt shot just for a' Job that takes an hour or so. "Trains every three or four hours all night," he comments, "but nbne during the daytime. "Still." he adds, tolerantly, you can't expect the railroad company to upset its whole tcr-minal-totermlnal schedule Just so I can go to the city and get my eyes checked and get home in a hurry. a a a IK you'll note carefully, it will come to you that the bulk of the Intolerance and the suspicion and the doubt ot the motives of others tliat ride us these days like the Old Man of the Sea occur IN THE CITIES. In the country towns, people arc closer to each other. They KNOW each other. Knowing each other as individuals, they know and are tolerant of each other's problems. Therein lies the GREAT differ ence between the cities and the country towns. If you start check . lug back through history, you'll be struck by the frequency with Inch" the worlds soUul troubles Placing the City of Roseburg under a city manager form of government July 1, 1947, as suggested before the council at its regular meeting Monday night would, in our opinion, result in financing problems which could be avoided in the event legal proceedings were rushed and the plan made operative January 1, 1947,' six months earlier than the suggested date. First quarter taxes are paid in November of each year. If the manager plan is placed in operation in July of next year (1947), it will be necessary to provide money from the city's general fund or emergency account to meet salaries and expenses for the period from July until taxes are paid the following November. No taxes would be paid during the interval for that particular department and the money, therefore, would necessarily be taken from other budgeted amounts, thus depriving the city of funds needed for general administrative purposes. If, on the other hand, the city authorizes the assessor to collect money next November November 1946 to meet the cost of a city manager form of government, funds would be available January 1, 1947, to start operations under the new program. We believe it is entirely possible to put the city manager form of government into operation by next January 1 if the city council will act promptly. Tax levies must be certified to tho county assessor by July 15, according to state law, but he is given authority to grant a "reasonable extension of time," if circumstances warrant. The assessor, if requested by the city council, probably would allow a 20 to 30-day extension. In the meantime, an election could be called at the very earliest possible date, at which time Roseburg voters would pass upon a measure authorizing the city council to levy a special tax two or three mills, or limited in dollars to pay the cost of a city manager. This sum would be outside the six per cent limitation. Jsnouia tne measure rail or passage, the city manager proposal would be a dead issue and the entire matter would be dropped. But if the special tax received approval, the specified amount would be certified to the assessor to be added to the regular city budget with collection starting in November. Such vote, however, would require further implementa tion through a charter revision. But preparation of a Charter amendment, which also must go to a vote of the people, probably could not be completed prior to tho deadline on tax certification. If we wait to vote on a charter amend ment, we will hot be able to levy a tax in November of this year, and would have no lunds available until Novcm ber 1947. Wo suggest the following procedure: First A special election to be held at tho earliest possible dale to determine whether or not a special tax shall be voted to pny tne cost of a city manager. Second. That tho city council, after setting tho dale for the election, gain an: extension of time, if necessary, for certification of tax levy. Third That tho mayor appoint a committee of attorneys to take over the legal task of preparing a charter amend ment. To aid this committee there should be a group com posed by members of thu city council, chamber of commerce and representatives from civic bodies to determine matters Of policy. Many questions will arise in setting up the city manager form of government, and the attorneys preparing the amendment will want suggestions and ideas from the public. This later function will bo furnished by the advisory committee. Fourth That as soon as tho charter amendment is pre- pared a second special election be called, prior to the November general election, if possible, to pass upon the proposed charter revision. The advantage of holding this election prior to November lies in the fact that a slate of city officers will be chosen in November, and if a change is to bo made in present form, tho plan should be adopted in advance of tho November date, thus saving election con fusion. Relief Pitcher Kush Saves Games For Chicago Cubs (By the' Associated Press) Emil Kush, a local hoy from Chicago's North Side, who waited nine long years to make a boy hood dream come true, was rival ing the Boston Red Sox' Earl Johnson as the number one re lief pitcher in the major leagues touay. isot since jacic missen, wnose yeoman relief work helped the Chicago cubs win tne isjh na tional League pennant, have the Bruins boasted such a brilliant rescue artist as this 29-year-old righthander. Kush gained his fourth victory without a defeat yesterday all of them in relief loles as the Cubs shaded the New York Giants 6-5 to move into third place in the National League pennant race. The native Chicagoan en tered the game In the seventh in ning after the Giants had pum melled SchrniK and two succes sors for a dozen hits and all their runs, and held the New Yorkers hitless the rest of the way. No Ground Gained The Cubs, however, could gain no ground on tne pace-seuing Brooklyn Dodgers and second place St. Louis Cardinals, who won their games 10 retain meir respective six and half and three game margins over the Bruins. The Brooks downed tbe Bucs 5- 3, and the Cards edged out the Boston Braves, h i. The New York Yankees reduced the American League leading Bos ton Red Sox margin to six and a half games when they waltzed to a 9-6 decision over the Chicago White Sox. Game Halted In 12th A total of 35 players saw ac tion as the Red Sox waged an S S tie wilh the St. Louis Browns. The game went 12 innings before it was callea on account oi uhik- ness.

Still, up to date, we have done nothing much about it. Imperson al and cold blooded as they are, the big cities seem to supply something that human beings can't get along without.
