Editor and Publisher i Member ef Che AnoeUted Press The Aaseelajtej Frese I exclnsrvely eatttted U the no I all ewbdteveiehea credited UttirMt etherwtae eredlUd la this 'Pricing Out'. This is term coming into rather common use. It means that prices go so high that many consumers are -priced out" of buying. . When butter goes to a dollar a pound, lower income groups (and -many middle income groups) buy no butter, or as littj as they can. They are "priced out." When cost of new or old houses gees to$10,O004he man with a monthly income of $150 or $200 is "priced out." He can't save enough out of his income to pay for the house. When automobiles go to $1800-12000, per sons on low incmes are priced out" of buying .new cars. That is the law of the market, the relentless operation of the law of supply and demand. Those with socialist inclinations think it is terrible because they think every family should get not only necessities but comforts and conveniences of living and not be "priced out." They would cure the ailment by forcing prices down (which diminishes the supply coming to market) or by spreading out subsidies of one kind or another. The answer of the capitalist system is to reduce costs of pro ' duction so that larger volumes df goods will be available at lower prices. - Socialist thinking is that the capitalist holds up or advances prices in order, to obtain long profit margins. That is often true in unregulated monopolies, but the prevailing instinct of the modern capitalism is to increase production. He is always trying to increase his sales volume, and trimming prices to permit that increase to come. In most lines of activity there is real competition if not for markets for a particular item then for other items that will prove acceptable as substitute. We do not like to "price out" consumers, but as long as costs are pushed up prices will follow and the "pricing out" remedy becomes automatic. We hope it doesn't go so far that goods will pile up as surplus and the government get panicky and start another NRA to help maintain prices. Gracious Benefactress Miss Sally Bush lived so quietly, so unostentatiously that she herself became a legend to Salem people. Yet her soul overflowed with kindliness for people everywhere and for all ygrowing things. She could not bear to see a living thing harmed. tHer generosity reached, out to help persons or families in need ; and to aid worthy civic and cultural causes. Measured on the scale ef good deeds. Miss Sally's name, like Abou Ben Adhem'a, "leads all the rest." Her home which had been that of her father's -the A. Bush who -had founded The Statesman and Ladd Sc Bush bank pre served the mementoes of the past, which she cherished. Its gardens were highly developed and Miss Sally's flowers graced many ' a function. Her tennis court was a playground for the neighborhood; and the lowland pasture, left in its natural state, was a rendezvous for bird lovers, for those who hunted the early flowers of spring and for lovers who strolled its paths. Bush's pasture will be preserved by the city and by Wil lamette university as a park and recreation center. It will be a memorial to A. Bush; but about it will cling for many genera tions fragrant memories of Miss, Sally. Salem's gracious benefactress. Public Records JUSTICE COURT Weldon A.

He called on his mother and he called on his brother and he called on Prime Minister Attlee, but none of the three could offer him a job befitting his station as ex-king. And the duchess for whose sake Eddie left the throne got no bids to meet her royal in-laws. The Windsors didn't even get an invite to the wedding of Lord Mounibatten's daughter where the princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret served as bridesmaids. 'They are coming on to New York, where it is presumed the Long Island set will give them bed and board for a time. Maybe President Truman did strain the law but there will be very general approbation of his decision to give visas to the 43 Estonian immigrants who crossed the Atlantic in small boats. This means they will not be deported, and presumably that they will be admitted under the quota system. When people go to such risks to get to a land of freedom we haven't the heart to turn them away. We, only wish we could continue to make good on the inscription in . the statue of liberty in New York harbor and open our arms to the oppressed of all the lands. This year will be memorable in the history of the Mergen thaler Linotype Co, First it had a strike which completely tied up its operations for a period of about five months. Second, an office worker juggled company receipts and got away with from $750,000 to a cool million of company funds;, only he didn't get away, the -police caught him and now the company is looking for the money. As an old customer The Statesman extends its regrets and hopes troubles will not really come tn battalions for Mergenthaler. Direct legislation puts the voter under a real mental strain, if he works at the job. In Salem the voter today faces nine state measures, three city measures and one county measure. In San Francisco the voter has to decide Yes or No on 17 state measures and 18 city-county measures. And there's no I.Q. test on voters! Old GBS wired the Fabian, society and proposed Henry Wallace for president of the TJf.SA. The Fabian society is an old organization of parlor socialists; so his message went to the right place except for getting Henry the nomination. Regarding the housing shortage, why doesn't the housing bureau get in touch with the old woman who lived in a shoe and find out how she did it. Corvallis Gazette-Times. No hope; there's a shoe shortage too. Jack C. CannJvet. tr tt. Woodburn. and Louise Collins, U, domettc. Aur- Metvln J. PUJersa. M. state em ployee, and Asm at. Leppta. tt. te nestle, both o4 Salem.

The several in stituUons have been restored to definite Individuality. What dupli cation there is is not uneconomic, using the term in a broad sense. The institutions feel a sense of security such as they have never felt before, and old bitterness Is fast fading out. There is unification at the top. The chancellor is the overall ex ecutive. Budgets are studied at the central office and finally passed on by the state board and then by .the legislature. The old fights at the legislature over who gets the money and how much have been eliminated. , The institutions still have prob lems. Though having far greater incomes than ever before the de mands have gone up in propor tion. The problem of physical plant is -xtremely critical. The problem of getting qualified fac ulty members is baffling. How to get better preparatory work in lower schools so colleges will net have to do so much "shoring up of defective secondary education also perplexes. But the state sys tem has emerged into a success fully functioning organism, even if Its character is different from what wag envisioned In the early years of unification. Home Nurse Class Planned New home nursing classes for Salem women are in the offing. Mrs. Ralph E. Moody, home nursing chairman for Marion county chapter, American Red Cross, said yesterday that classes will begin as soon as enough women indicate to the Red Cross office their intention of taking the free training course. Classes will be held in Salem Deaconess hospital's home nur sing room over a period of 12 weeks, with one two-hour even ing class per week, or will be held twice a week over three weeks. Mrs. Louise Arneson, Red Cross nursing director, will conduct the instruction. YMCA Officer Talks of India ToLfOcalCof G. "There is a radical change in the mental makeup of India' Ru dolph P. Wiens, international rep resentative of the YMCA told a Salem Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting Monday. A new.

The In dians are divided amour them selves on politics, religion and race. The British in their at tenants to heln India achieve in dependence are thwarted by the rivalry oi India's two major poli tical parties, the Moslem lea me and the Congress party, he said. At the present time the people of India are governed by the British viceroy and a cabinet made up of 13 men. Of these, five are from the Moslem league and five are from the Con areas nartv while the other three represent the main minority group, Wiens explained. Odd Fellows Head to Visit Grand Master Arthur J. Lemon of the grand lodge of Oregon, i. u. u. r , will make an official visit to Chemeketa lodge in Sa lem Wednesday evening. The Portland lodge official will meet with the local lodge at a short business session in Odd 'Fellows' hall, following which the lodge will hold a iotnt meetinc with Keoekan lodge. The grand master will give a talk on lodge afairs, accompanied by motion pictures. Refreshments will be served in a social gather ing following the meetings. GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichty Japs are still surrendering. Recently 74 Jap soldiers, in cluding seven officers, surrendered to military police in the Philippines. Others are said still to be hiding in those and other islands, unconvinced that Japan lost the war. Many candidates looking for crosses will get double crosses instead. ' Editorial Comment Fro an Oar Cea temporaries THE 24-IlOUR TIME TABLE A bus line operating between Portland, Seattle and Vancouver has come up with one of those ideas so obviously sensible that U is a wonder railroads and bus companies have not adopted it before. That is the use of the army and navy wartime system of 24 I hour time measurement. : This system does away with, necessity of recording timetable ; tie in am. and pjn with light type for one and black type ;for the-ether, and all the resulting confusion. Instead, the day is measured, from midnight to midnight, using lcjf numerals for alt times, starting with the figure 0001 for 124)1 am. and ending at 2400 for the following midnighL If, this system. a.m. is 0800, noon is 1200 and'l pjn. is 1300, 5 p.m. is 1700 and so en throughout the day. Millions of . people became familiar with this system of time keeping while serving in the armed forces during the war, and found it quite simrie to. understand.
