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.

up In order to can the Pacif it
Coast fruit that otherwise will be

problem.

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."
