TIME TO-APT
Since the year before the war the administration at Wash
ington nas Deen warning the American people against infla
tion. It used inflation, which it had been wilfully stimulating
from early in 1933, as an argument for high and higher taxes.
These, it was pointed out, would reduce purchasing power
which was becoming too great in proportion to diminishing
consumer goods. It was trotted tut intermittently as a reason
for bond buying.. The argument was the same, but in this
case it was a fallacious one. Growth of a national debt (which
is the significance of bond buying) is a proved inflation
: factor. i
It was proper, of course, that the people should be warned
of inflation's dangers. Many of them tried to do something
about it. Most of them were powerless, however. The force
exerted by government in the opposite direction, was too great.
A currency inflation had been set under way and continued
which had been one of the chief causes, although the least
discussed, in the entire trend toward high prices.
The figures are rather appalling. In 1933 this country"
had in circulation an approximate seven billion dollars. Near
the end of the past year money in circulation, in round num-
, bers, was twenty-seven billion dollars. What it may now be
we do not know. Probably the .figure is still larger.- Unless
steps are taken promptly to control the cheapening of money,
the situation is one which is cause for apprehension. This
control is government's job. It is time, we would say, for
those who warn of inflation to do something about it.
SCHOOL TEXT BOOK INSTRUCTION
In connection with the discussion over , the election of
Bend's city commissioners by wards instead of at large as at
present our attention has been called to paragraphs on the
subject of city government found in the text book used in the
ninth grade civics course. Insofar as the students have taken
to heart the statements made in this'work the proponents of
change in the Bend charter would have a considerable group
of prospective .citizens against them.
Three types of city government are discussed in this
text book, mayor-council, commission and manager. Only
in the first, according to the text, is there ward representa
tion and, it is said, "When 'a council is large in size
the members often wrangle among themselves over petty
things. In their efforts to get improvements and benefits for
their own wards, they forget the welfare of the entire city."
Among the worth while features of the two other forms
of government, according to this student text, is the election
of commissioners hi large. This, it is asserted, "does away
with petty ward pojitics." . .
The facts presented in this school bofik were, of course,
taken into account hvhen "the cite charter Fas adopted. Until
. their invalidity is Remonstrated the Voters,' we are sure, will
-be against a change, in the charter1
it is pleasant to be able to record that Oregon's leading
morning newspaper has rejoined Webster and the other well
known lexicographers and again is spelling "exorbitant"
without any unnecessary, improper, irrelevant and imma
terial "h". : . -

I'll talk as long as it takes. If
necessary, I cpuld talk six
months.'"
Senate democratic leader Alben

Small Business
Men Back OPA
Washington, April 25 'IB A
group ol independent business
men today revolted against ef
forts of big business to kill OPA. '
Organized Into the new Council
of American Business, they I
charged that the National Asso-I
elation of Manufacturers' lobby'
against OPA was "a national'
scandal."
They wrote senators to extend
OPA without change. And they!
telegraphed President Truman j
to veto any amendment-crippled j
OPA bill such as the one passed
by the house. i j
, Charge Made
The orgai.zatlon, claiming
members in "scores" of business- i
ca mi uuguuui me uaiiuu, BCX1U Ul
business opposition to OPA was
based on a "philosophy of greed."
It said NAM'S "weasel worded sta
tistics are a deliberate distortion"
of the feelings of American bus
iness toward OPA. These feelings,
said the council, have been mis
represented "consistently."
It complained that NAM ad
vertisements claimed that 97 per
cent of "a representative cross
section" of its own members op
posed OPA, but that the figures
were passed off to represent the
views ot all business.
Time Is Set I
The NAM is urging removal of
all controls on manufactured
goods by June 30. NAM President
Robert Wason told the senate
banking committee earlier this
week that OPA was retarding re
conversion and was itself "one
of the most powerful and infla
tionary forces in this country:
today." j
The council is headed by George
C. Hatch, general manager of the,
Intermountaln network at Ogden,
Utah. Its first national conference
will be held tomorrow and Sat-i
urday in Washington. It will be
addressed by Price chief Paul
Porter and Leon Henderson, the'
first OPA administrator. Board -members
of the council will call
on Secretary of commerce Henry
A. Wallace Friday. . 1
