Effect of California's Growth on Oregon
While Oregon's srrowth j high percentage-wise since
1940, California's growth is staggering in numbers. Three
million persons have been dumped into the state to the
south in seven years. Oregon's increase in population has
amounted to about one-sixth of that figure, even though
the percentage increase was slightly higher.
The troubles of fitting three million persons into Cali
fornia make interesting reading in an article in the cur
rent issue of Harper's magazine. The author is Carey
McWilliams. Oregon can appreciate the adjustments that
are necessary. McWilliams calls the influx into Califor
nia "not unlike that of the gold rush a hundred years ago."
Actually, thirty times as many people have come to Cali
fornia in the past eight years as came during the gold
rush period.
The political Implications of such a shift of population
has already been anticipated in Oregon. McWilliams fig
ures California will be given a minimum of six additional
seats in congress. Oregon and Washington each will get
a minimum of one seat. Obviously, the influence of the
western states will increase substantially in the political
conventions in 1952 and in the electoral college.
McWilliam notes: "Economically, the growth of west
coast industrial power, particularly the upsurge of Cali
fornia, has profound national significance. For a new
set of population dynamics has appeared on the West
Coast.
"In the past, almost every article produced In the Northwest
had to be shipped eastward across the continent to the major
national marktts at freight rates which were always dis
criminatory a"d often prohibitive. Now the Northwest has
discovered that it has a promising and ever-expanding new
market at its doorstep. California, with 10,000,000 people,
represents quite a market."
According to Van Beuren Stanberry, a special economist
for the Department of Commerce, "Oregon once had to
ship lumber and cheese 2000 miles to find a market of
10,000,000 consumers. Now such a market lies at the
end of the seven-hundred-mile Shasta route of the South
ern Pacific out of Portland."
Even though McWilliams Ignores Oregon's growth too
much, his conclusion is of significance:
"California is not another American state: It is a revo
lution within the states. It is tipping the scales of the
nation's interest and wealth and population to the west,
toward the Pacific."
A Surprise Lewis Ukase
John Ii. Lewis, czar of the coal mines, "he who must be
obeyed," has again done the unexpected by his surprise
ukase ordering Pennsylvania's 78,000 anthracite miners
and 22,000 soft coal bituminous miners in nine states
west of the Mississippi to return to their jobs Monday.
The move was announced in a telegram from Lewis to
presidents of the affected United Mine Workers districts
and read: "The suspension of mining in the western and
anthracite area is not now vital to pending wage negotia
tions." It said the action was taken "to minimize loss
to all parties," and does not affect the rest of the industry.
The strike, which was caused by the stoppage of wel
fare fund payments in both hard and soft coal fields,
already has cost approximately 6,500,000 tons of bitu
minous and more than 1,000,000 tons of anthracite. Both
the western bituminous output and anthracite are used
mostly for domestic heating purposes. Neither group had
been under the ordered three-day work week. Dwindling
stocks had forced rationing and provoked fears of the
loss of the hard coal market.
The nine western states in which mining will be re
sumed are Washington, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, New Mex
ico, Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. The order
does not affect the miners in the soft coal fields of Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and other states east
of the Mississippi where the UMW men walked out "spon
taneously" September 19 two days after welfare fund pay
ments were suspended. Stocks are evidently not low enough
In the major districts to force the terms from the opera
tors Lewis wants.
The old miners' slogan, "no contract, no work," was
violated by Lewis when the union contracts expired some
time ago and the men kept at work. Now the new slogan,
"no pensions, no work," has been ditched for anthracite
miners and western bituminous miners. In the meanwhile
coal is steadily losing ground to substitutes as fuel. And
the miners? Simply pawns Lewis plays for pnwer "upon
this checkerboard of nights and days. Hither he moves,
and then he slays and one by one back in the closet lays."
Weather Man Forest Fire Goat
This month has seen the worst forest fire damage
since 19-45 when the disastrous Tillamook holocaust oc
curred. Neither hunters, campers nor lightning can be
blamed for the fires all of which were set by loggers,
lash burnings that got out of control. And they were com
plying with law that makes It compulsory for operators
to burn slashings and other debris. And the burnings were
approved by state forestry inspectors in advance.
In an interview in the Capital Journal Thursday Act
ing State Forester George Spaur said the cause of the
devastating fires was a dry east wind, together with low
humidity in place of stormy weather predicted by the
U.S. weather bureau. Some rain had already fallen and
during the week of September 11-17 many such controlled
fires were in progress under permits issued by forest
inspectors. Mr. Spaur said:
"On September 17 the weather bureau predicted a storm
rolling in from the coast. Even though the weather at the time
was cleBr, the bureau Insisted that the storm was on its wav.
The storm falU-n to materialize. We wert caught off guard by
tha report and the next thing we knew we were fighting fires.
Fortunately, nona were as disastrous as they might have been."
The forestry department, despite long experience, seems
to have a child-like faith in the weather bureau predic
tions, something few farmers have. Occasionally, per
haps a majority of times, the weather predictions ma
terialise, but often they do not.
Despite improvements in weather reporting, predic
tion still remains an uncertain science, for forecasted
storms often circle away from expectant routes. But the
weather service now has advantages it never enjoyed
before, with networks of weather teletypes at every air
port and on most ships t sea, so approximate charts can
be drawn. Eventually perhaps the much cussed weather
man's forecasts will be reliable enough to save our forests
from flames.

TRUMAN SLUGGING WITH SLOGANS
GOP Strategists Try to Tone
Down Attacks on 'Welfare'
By LYLE C.WILSON
Washington, Sept. 30 (U.R) Republican politicians are beginning
to ache today where President Truman is slugging them with
slogans.
Some master republican strategists are recommending that party
campaigners stop storming against the "welfare state," the "fair

its recommendations, Sept. 10,

BILBO'S LAWYER
It looks like the lawyer who
defended the late Senator Bilbo
of Mississippi against charges
brought in the U. S. senate
would now be paid $6,000 by the
same senate which did not seat
Bilbo.
The lawyer. Forrest Jackson,
served as Bilbo's attorney in
warding off Impeachment. Bil
bo, because of his health, was
never impeached, and died be
fore any proceedings were
brought.
Therefore, since it is custom
ary for the taxpayers to pay for
a senator's defense as long as he
is not impeached. Attorney
Jackson turned in his bill to the
senate, and the man who re
placed Bilbo. Sen. John Stennls,
tried to get the senate to pay.
However, Rules Chairman
Curley Brooks of Illinois who
was supposed to pass on the
matter, pleaded that he was up
for re-election, begged Stennis
to hold up the bill until the 81st
congress.
Now Stennis has submitted
the bill to the new rules chair
man. Sen. Carl Hayden of Ar
izona, and a subcommittee qui
etly approved th. $6,000 fee.
It Is planned to bring the mat
ter up quietly on the senate
floor during routine business in
order to avoid publicity.
