He than adds: "While stocks ' ol sugar are SHORT in some parts ol the na tion, the beet-producing Pacific Coast region has piled up SUR PLUSES." llfHY ore surpluses plied up ?f here? Why isn't the surplus sugar moved from the Paeitic Coast to the places where it Is needed? . ' ' ... . Well, our old familiar villain, SHORTAGE, enters the picture at this point. Thore are' not enough railroad cars to move the surplus sugar Irom whore it is to where it is needed. (Just as we are beginning to hear that there arc not enough cars to move lum ber to; where it is sorely needed so that there is a glut of lumber In some places and a famine in others;) So the sugar goes on piling up In the West. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK - . - By CHARLES V, STANTON You won't enjoy, this column today. , It doesn't make good, reading. - Nor do we like to let the outside world in on Douglas County "dirt." But it is time the public became fully aware of some conditions which need attention. This column for years has been calling attention to unsani tary conditions existing in the fringe area of Roseburg, and in other of pur rapidly growing communities. We have been urging formation of sanitary districts. Wc endorsed the program for a county sanitary engineer. The matter of employing a sanitary engineer came before the regular meeting of the county budget committee recently and was rejected. It was quite evident the budget com mittee was not fully informed of the need for such an officer, but, on the other hand, the committee made no attempt to learn the true state of affairs. Now, the Douglas County Medical Society has informed the County Court that a state of emergency exists. The society is composed of the county's practicing physicians who should know the facts. Doubtless, some people in Douglas County fuel that this talk of employing a county sanitary engineer is just another new-fangled idea to gouge the taxpayer and create more public employment. For fear that need of a sanitarian is not fully appreciated we intend to recite in plain language some actual complaints filed with the County Health Unit and authenticated by investigation. If you are one of those persons who suffer from a "squeamish" stomach, we suggest that you read no further. r rHE story gets screwier from here on. . A . while bucK some logical thinker proposed that since sugar Is piling up in the Wont and there jre not freight cars enough to OVE IT OUT housewives out here be granted an additional 10 pounds with which to home-can our record-breaking fruit crop of this year. T h la altogether reasonable proposition was put up to the San Francisco office -of OPA, which refused it, saying in effect: "NO, we can't allow that. It wouldn't be FAIR to people- in the areas where sugar is scarce!" WELL, maybe not, IN THEORY. But as a matter of cold and practical FACT the people in the areas Where sugar Is scarce are going to have to do without any way. ; , e THE solution that is sought by OPA Is typical of bureaucracy. Instead of permitting housewives out In 'the West, where sugar is piling up because there aren't cars enough to move It, to use some of it to save this year's fruit crop from spoiling OPA is seeking FREIGHT CAR PRIORI TIES to move the sugar. It is perfectly plain to any prac tical thinker that If the priority system is used to draft freight cars rp move sugar, OTHER PRODUCTS (such as lumber) will be piled up even worse than they are now. Such a system amounts merely to robbing Peter to pay Paul. As it Is, people who want sugar will have to do without 1L If we snatclV freight cars away from hauling lumber, to use them in hauling sugar, people who want and need housing will have to do without. At Elkton, where there have been two definite cases of typhoid and 18 cases of intestinal infection, sewage from cabins is emptying on private property and running down the side of a public highway. A lower Umqua community reports that toilets and sinks of a confectionary drain under the building. A motor court near Roseburg has been running the efflu ent from septic tanks into an open ditch beside the Pacific highway, while numerous reports have been made of open drainage from individual trailers and from trailer camps in Roseburg and throughout the- county in general. A family was found living in Roseburg with no toilet facilities except "bushes." Aucther family was foutid emptying slop jars on an open manure pile six feet from a milking stall. That was near Roseburg. . . Are you becoming slightly nauseated? If so, you'd better quit reading, because it gets worse as we go along. The water Bupply from the well at the Dillard school was inadequate and wouldn't work the automatic drinking fountains. The children were found drinking water .pumped from the South Umpqua 'River for irrigation purposes. Three complaints, from Oakland, Canyonville and Green, tell of open privies located at from 10 to 20 feet from kitchen windows. Copuo recently found sewage from a broken sewer line running into three water meter boxes in Roseburg. A private sower line was found emptying into a null pond, near the Roseburg city limits. Near Myrtle Creek it was found that garbage and sewage were being dumped into the sourco of private water supply. Do you want more? Are you convinced that need for a county sanitarian is not simply a new-fangled design to gouge the taxpayer? We can recite more cases like those above, and some even worse than those mentioned, if you need more convincing. But. personally, we don't like to do this sort of thing, and we're iioinir no further at this time. We believe these cases should prove that an emergency DOES exist and that the county court has adequate reason to draw from the budget's emergency fund to employ a sanitary engineer. If you're not of the same opinion, you re .stomach is belter than ours. part of the surplus that is piling up In order to can the Pacif it Coast fruit that otherwise will be wasted. That, unfortunately is the way bureaucracy works. T rHIS ;story is told here at con slderablc length because the facts upon which It is based como NOT from some wicked private operator but from an official of the Office of Price Administra tion Itself. Keep this fact clear In your mind: OPA isn't Just being mean and vicious and obstructive. It is doing Its level best, in Its bureau cratic Vvay, to solve an annoying problem. But the best it can think of Is to TAKE CARS AWAY FROM HAULING SOMETHING ELSE -in order to use them to haul su gar. i; ' ' ' It turns thumbs down, on the : sensible proposal that since . we ! haven't ears enough, to haul away ' the surplus of sugar from the Pa Icific Coast why not let Pacific Coast housewives use at least a Six Matmen Will Vie in First Bill Of Tournament The Umpqua Tournament Tro- pny hits been sot uo by the uoso- burg wrestling commission and the first elimination rounds for possession of the prize will make up Saturday night's wrestling pi or I'd m at the uimo.y. - The tronhy event has proved popular in other Northwest wrestling spots.

Trail Dusters Trek Over Hills Near Roseburg Thirty Trail Dusters last Sun day took the three-and-a-half-hour ride over the hills southeast of Roseburg for a picnic at the I'adolford Ranch. Trail Boss Everett Pttrtin reported. The Trail Dusters are making plans for their first annual "Stampede," to lie hold at the county fairgrounds September 1 and 2, and for choosing the "Stampede" queen this coming Sunday. F. F. Cornell ot North Bend, who Is to supply the high school horses for the equestrian show, flew Into Roseburg last night and was Partin's. house guesf. Cor nell promised five head of horses for the show, Partln said. The Trail Dust Saddle.

Guaranteed Wage Now Major Issue In Labor Circles "" By MAX HALL WASHINGTON Why "uaran tee. wages? Why should an em ployer tell his workers, "I will guarantee you steady employ ment for three, six, or twelve months?" Here are some of the main ar guments in favor of the "guar anteed wage," which is fast be coming a "hot" issue in labor circles: 1. They give lob security to the worker. 2. They provide the employer with a more efficient working force. 3. Thev reduce "labor troubles" by making the workers more sat isfied. 4. They are a step In the direc tion of full production and full employment (although nobody claims they will cure all our eco nomic Ills). Erio Johnston's Idea Eric Johnston, former presi dent of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, argued along those lines recently before a congres sional committee. He said indus trial unrest is "an explosive force within our economy, even more so than the atomic bomb, because that is something in the distance, and this is with us to- dav." One of the greatest causes of industrial unrest, he said, is "job insecuntv. ivianv Dcooie work oniy spasmouicauy. Most Amert can workers pet less than 200 days of work in a year. There- lore mis jod insecurity causes slow-downs, as workers do not want to work themselves out of a lob. It causes workers to demand higher wages than perhaps they would if they had steady employ ment. $230,000 Study Begun Johnston is a member of the advisory board of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconver sion, which Is sponsoring a $250,- uuu study ot guaranteed wages. The big question about Guaran teed wages is not "Should It be done?" but "How can it be done?" There is not much opposition to guaranteed wages in principle. Nearly all employers want a sta ble working force, and all em ployes want more job security. Yet, there is sure to be fierce op position in certain Industries largely because of the difficult problems Involved, problems usu ally recoonized bv the unions as well as the employers. The Seasonal Handicap A company may find It hard to guarantee stendv employment be cause Its production denends on seasonal marketing. To assure steady jobs it may have to take cosllv measures like revolutioniz ing the system of sales, changing pruaucnon memocis, oringing out new products, buying new ma chinery. Take the auto industry. In nor mal times it is a seasonal indus try. The method of marketing autos with new models coming out each fall creates plenty of work at certain times and long layoffs at other times. To assure veararound employment would probably require big changes in the marketing system. The construction industry is an other tough one. Not An Annual Wage And, incidentally, Johnston made It clear that a "guaranteed wage" is not necessarily an "an nual wage." The guarantee may be for less than a year and still be an Improvement. He said that In the construction industry, at least in northern states, it would be "very difficult" to stabilize emplovment through the winters "But if you can give men em ployment during all ot the build ing season and maybe lay them off four months of the year and give them eight months of em plovment, that is a lot better than having them employed only four or five months of the year." For the purposes of the govern ment studv, a guaranteed wage Dlan is defined as "a plan under which an emnloyor guarantees a wage or employment to an indi vidual worker for at least three months." t?
