West Coast Airline's Visit
West Coast Airlines officials meet with Salem represen
tatives Thursday evening to discuss the possibility of the
feeder-line serving Oregon's capital.
In a way, the meeting poses a problem. The Civil Aero
nautics Board has already issued a show-cause order why
West Coast Airlines should not be substituted for the ex
isting United Airlines service here. And Salem has al
ready announced its intention of fighting to keep a United
station at McNary field.
Whether or not this amounts to a problem depends on
the future of air transportation at Salem.
The city has no intention of changing its position on
United Airlines service. Salem needs to keep its connec
tion with the Mainliner's transcontinental route. The size
(second in Oregon) and growing importance of the capital
demands nothing but the best kind of a complete air con
nection here.
To limit the city to a feeder-line connection only, as the
CAB would, is to restrict the activity of Salem to a feeder
line position. This in no way reflects on West Coast Air
lines, since all reports on that particular company are to
its credit. But the scope of the service, which heretofore
has not included air freight, must be limited to the extent
of the airline itself. Even though West Coast intends to
incorporate air freight service in its program or already
has done so the connections can still only be feeder-line
connections. The connection that United already offers,
on the other hand, is transcontinental.
West Coast is welcome to present its case to the city.
But at the same time, the airline should realize the import
ance Salem places on the existing United connection. That
importance is so great as to make it unwise for the city to
permit the CAB to cut-off the Mainliner service. That is
why Salem is fighting the show-cause order.
So that the meeting should not cause any uneasiness,
those facts should be understood from the start. If West
Coast Airlines has in mind serving Salem in addition to
United, that is another matter.
Our Farm Support Folly
The beauties of farm support prices are shown in the
federal potato control program. The Agricultural depart
ment has just revealed that it cost the government in one
county alone $64 millions to buy up potatoes of the 1948
crop.
The government spent this amount buying up potatoes
produced in Aroostook county, Me., one of the nation's
principal potato-producing .areas. That was nearly one
third of the total $199,000,000 which the government spent
buying up surpluses in the 1948 potato crop. If this thing
keeps up, Maine ought to vote democratic.
Actually it cost the government and the taxpayers
more than that. When the cost of disposing of the pota
toes was added in, the total cost of the 1948 potato crop
support program was boosted to $224 million.
The government had to buy up about one-fourth of last
year's potato crop under a congressional directive to main
tain producer prices of 90 per cent of parity. And potato
growers evidently planted record acreage because profits
were assured.
Record crops of all kinds seem assured this year corn, 3
billion bushels, plus a huge wheat crop and abundant
farm products, but this doesn't mean any lower food prices
for consumers, for support prices keep up prices by govern
ment purchases of surplus at taxpayers' expense and as
in potatoes the surplus is wasted in destruction. And a
large portion of the heavy taxation goes into encouraging
the raising of surpluses, for as soon as prices drop, the
government starts buying to keep them up.
Our farm panacea is idiotic, economically unsound and
purely political and the public is mulcted by both prices and
confiscatory taxes. And the Brannon plan is even worse.
Housing Decontrol Necessary
President Truman blames the lifting of rental controls
in areas still having them on congress' failure to provide
sufficient appropriations to enforce the rent control law.
Every compulsory regulative law requires an army of en
forcement officers and the expenditures of tax money re
quired by the bureaucracy in enforcing regimentation fre
quently exceeds the benefits resulting, which has been
demonstrated in rental control, which has been honey
combed by favoritism and evasion, and has largely been a
lopsided farce.
Rental controls, like other arbitrary controls, are part
and parcel of the police state. Justifiable perhaps in war
time and emergency periods. It is time the economic law
of supply and demand be given a chance to solve the rental
problem, especially since the building boom is still mush
rooming all over the country and sufficient rental housing
exists or soon will.
In view of the fact that federal costs in time of peace
will exceed revenues by $5 billion this fiscal year, and
that the government is now on a deficit spending basis,
economy is essential, especially with a world record debt
of $252 billion already existing.
There is no better place to start the economizing than
in these surplus unnecessary federal bureaus. As it is,
congress has only cut the housing budget from $26 million
to $17.5 million so why the presidential squawk?
Ontario Feuds over Whistle
Ontario, Ore., Aug. 18 iPi Rainwater Jonrs was blowing
the town's whistle again today, but he wasn't sure tor how
long.
The whistle, installed on Jones' laundry and traditional in
Ontario as the dinner signal, has blown up two months of
controversy here.
Albert Fuchs, who lives near the laundry, said It "Jarred
his nerves." He and 78 other residents petitioned the city
council to silence the thing.
But other residents contended they loved the whistle.
Moreover, said some, their children wouldn't come home to
dinner unless they heard it. The council decided It could
blow.
At that point someone took matters Into his own hands
nd stole the thing.
The city was silent for a week until Rainwater Jonrs got
another whistle and Installed it.
