WHY THE EXTRAS?
Richard L. Neuberger, member of the state senate from
Multnomah county, had been out of the public eye for several
months but the otner day he got himself some cheap publicity.
It wasn't very good publicity but almost any Kind is better
than none at all, the experts will tell you, just so there is
enough of it. There was plenty of this and it was largely pre
ferred front page position.
Walter J. Pearson had started it by having the state print
ing office knock off lu.UUU copies of pseudo-official personal
promotion literature almost any "throw-ayay" is called lit
erature for some strange reason or lack of reason and by
having them distributed at the state fair. When he wanted the
State to pay for them.'Governor McKay of tne board of control
refused to approve the f 160.83 bill. Pearson, who is also on
the board, was quite willing that the state snouid pay for his
printing. At the time the tliird member oi tne board, Earl T.
M ' l fr cotvat a 11? f ctota hnimona fn K . ;H ......... i "
Oregon and his assistant ventured the thought that Newbry
would', not approve either. Later it developed that this was
something of an overstatement but at the moment it gave
.Neuberger his chance; he sounded off without delay, gracious
ly permitting himself to be quoted on the thought that it was
quite all right for Pearson to do the reprehensible thing that
he had done because the governor and the secretary of state
had done something, too they had given away state seal im
prints. This we mentioned at the beginning of the week, point
ing out the utter fallacy of Senator Neuberger's argument. We
mention it again today because it turned out to be tne start of
still another chapter in the record of official altercation and
recrimination.
For, while the senator caught himself a nice mess of publi
city in the other fellow's pool, he also caught a Tatar when he
picKed on the secretary of state. Mr. Newbry is not too long
out of the senate ; betore he became a member of that august
body he was of the house of representatives. He knows what
these legislators do and that they are frequently as vulnerable
as administrative officials. And so, while he pointed out that
the seals in question were printed before he (and Douglas Mc
Kay) became administrative officials, he observed that Legis
lator, Neuberger had not been in the least above acquiring
quantities of state stationery with his name printed on it,
that he had requisitioned such supplies even before being
sworn in as a mpmhor anA that Via j.--

ferent shade of ink than ordinary legislators used. He could
well have asked, "How about your glass house, Mr. Neu
berger ?"
i While he did not actually put this question, he did, we are
sure, 'eave it in the minds of many readers of his statement.
Anq, we think, he raised much the same sort of question as to
legislators as a class the quantities of letterheads and en
elopes which are acquired at state expense, acquired in such.
'Entities that they are ample for personal needs between
sions or for years after the individual has retired (or been
ed) from office. It isn't just letterheads and envelopes,
be distribution of expensive sets of Oregon Compiled
Annotated, frequently to be sold by the recipient like
all player's complimentary tickets ; in the national sen
free medical service; in general it is the question of
?uisites of olfice and, above all, it's the idea, so easily
d and accepted, that anything that comes to the office
trom government is part of the game. Once accepted,
i to the thought, probably not in the minds of all but j
nly in the mental processes of some, of just how more'
obtained.
k outlook is not a healthy one among men (and women)
je avowed purpose in seeking office is to give service. The
osophy which it encourages is definitely not a sound one.
iously, we would say, there is some cleaning up to be done,
publicity seeking legislators and resentful administrators
,ntinue to air their differences, there should be plenty of
aformation available shortly as to the conditions that need
eliminating and the things that need doing.
WASHINGTON COLUMN
WUtHHIUnUIHtHHIIIHIMtlNU
By DoukIkn I.i"Mn
1NKA SUff Corrwpotidrnt)
Washington (NEA) Coiikivss
is investiKiitliiR tho possibility
that retail food priors arc not
coming down as fast us farm
prices because American house
wives are getting lazy.
Evidence that this is true has
already been laid before the senate
agriculture sub committee on util
ization of farm crops, headed bv
Son. Guy M. Gillette. IX. Ia. Gil
lette's group is Rping into the
whole question of why the cost of
getting food from the farmer to
the consumer seems to have In
creased out of proportion to farm
prices and the general price rise
since the war.
When ' the investigation was
started last summer the commit
tee expected to find Increased in
efficiency in Uie food distribution
system and possibly exorbitant
profits being taken by the food
middlemen. Thay have found
some evidence of both of these
things. But they have also dis
covered that U. S. housewives
must share some guilt for keep
ing iiKX) prices up.
What It amounts to. the modern
woman is demanding food from
the grocery store which is all
ready to throw Into a pot or fry
ing pan, with an absolute mini
mum of working on by her. She
wants more canned "goods and
ready-prepared foods. She wants
her fresh vegetables already trim
med, washed and sorted before
thev are even put on the grocery
counter.
She wants food put up In small
er packages, to serve two or
three persons, so she doesn't have
to bother to measure or save
what's left. She wants processed
foods and bread with a lot of
built-in vitamins, so she dosen't
have to worry about balanced
diets. She wants only the choice
cuts of meat, already trimmed
and prepared by the butcher, so
she doesn't have to improvise
cooking methods and seasoning
to improve flavor. She wants
"instant" coffee and "instant" po
tatoes which require the mini
mum cooking skill of boiling
water.
Since the war the food industry
has had to cater to this changing
demand. Food processors have
told Gillette's group that these
new-fangled services don't come
for free.
It costs money to put extra
vitamins in bread. Putting up
foods in smaller cartons means
extra cardboard, paper and cello
phane, earning foods requires
several cooking processes in a
factory, plus the cost of the tin
or glass containers. Freezing and
distributing frozen food is ex
tremely expensive.
The high cost of milk is an
other example cited by Senator
Gillette. More and more house
wives are demanding that it be
delivered to the door. If they
bought it at the grocery store it
would be as much as two cents a
quart cheaper, he reveals. That's
about a 10 per cent saving. A
