thjj good judgment and good citizenship of this group of cit

- M However, it remained for this occurrence to bring to
pifilic attention , the theory which the Workers Alliance.-no
dcflbtlsome other people on WPA, and apparently some.of
th4 Hders of organized labor including William Green him
aetf. have held concerning the function and purpose of WPA.
Attorning to this theory it is the function of WPA to set a
"t?tetlinew a wage level below which private employment
cop'ld not possibly go. because at any lower level it would not
rxfabie to budge workers out of WPA. Slavs the WPA Chouse
orfean': "Now comes .congress arid doe?bv legislation what,
th? big employer were unable to do--destroy the wage
'cues' of organized labor. .1 " ' ' '
This particnlar aroTiment is based upon the fact that

Somewhere something has to gM. Congress appropna
tettfor WPA all it felt the nation could afford and since that
would! not provide for all of the unemployed, included a oro
vision'that jobs should be staggered; that men on WPA
steadily for a certain length of time must be removed to make
room for others. Now the high command of WPA announces
that wages in the south are to be raised, those the north
lowered, ignoring the fact of differences -in living costs.
The justice of such a policy is difficult' to see. v -
f What is much easier to see is that the public which foots
the bill is not; sympathetic to the demands of the Workers
Alliance,' but actually sees in them an effort lo dictate to the
government and to the nation. What the public's resnonse to

Oregon Leads in
To the farm boy of two or three, decades ago, life on the
farm meant long hours of uninspiring drudgery, extremely
liniited social contacts, inadequate educational opportunities
anid. in its sum total, something to get away from as soon as
possible. " ."u: "yM:. :, ' ; it "-..-..'!. r -
v Some Of the credit for changing tnis situation belongs to
th$ automobile and" the development of good roads, the radio
ana other modern gadgets, but fundamentally, the greater
attractiveness of the farm to the boy of today is accountable
to:a changed viewpoint with respect to farming itself.
I; The farm boy of today learns that agriculture is a re
sponsible business and a science, and as such worthy of his
bet intelligence and a challenge to adequate preparation. He
learns this through agricultural courses in the hiorh school he
is now privileged to attend, through the Future Farmers or
ganization and, in most cases earlier when his life viewpoint
ia u'n a more formative state, through the 4H clubs. All of
these agencies provide not only information and guidance,
but inspiration through competition and group activity. 1
M It is gratifying therefore to note that a survey reported
inja United States department of agriculture. bulletin shows
Oregon to be a leader in the 4H program, holding first
place in the west on the basis of three out of four accepted
measurements, tied for second placed nationally on two of
them, and on the combination of all four is exceeded only by
tiny Rhode Island, --.v
.; Nationally the 4H program reaches 59 per cent of farm
boys and girls. In Oregon, enrollment in 4H clubs equals the
total number of farm boys and 'girls, though city enrollments
accbunt probably for 20 per cent, leaving the rural percentage
still far above the national average. The agencies encourag
ing and promoting this program in Oregon, - including th
state college and the public schools, are doing a fine, useful
work. Two of the things that Americans count upon for the
nation's preservation are its youths and its farms. This pro
grim helps to keep the two together on satisfactory, prof
itable terms.

To Appeal Decision
"If this Is the law" he com

"The production and marketing
