HENDERSON’S JOB Back in Washington D. C. there io a man working at what is per haps the hardest joo of the whole nation. He probably knows he is going to take a tremendous licking but the prospects of it hasp’t de terred him so far. He is Leon Henderson, new deal er at times, responsible citizen at others. He is being coached by Bernard Baruch^who administered many domestic affairs during the laat world war and did a good job of it, too. Hendersons job is to prevent prices from rising. He is supposed to have the support of the ad ministration. He fears inflation • it prices rise too high. So does everyone else. Look what happened to- Mr. Henderson n the recent weeks. The labor board or someone of the multitude of boards having to do with labor problems in Washing ton oked a wage raise of 10 cents per hour for workers in the general Motors plant. Coal min ers are on the verge of refusing to dig coal again unless they get more money. (They cut defense pi eduction in lAipril pretty serious ly ) Farmers voted themselves a b.gger slice of income. On the coast bakers and ship workers, were out for more money. Theory of the new deal is that wages can be raised and prices kt pt at the same level because in dustry can b« made to take less for its services and pay huge taxes in addition. Like most of the •similar theories this one hasn’t worked very well. If wages rise prices will cer tainly tend to go up. The admin istration aids in raising wages and Mr. Henderson tri$s to keep prices down. The resule is just as all informed people have predicted, pricer are going up helter-skelter. Be it sugar or shirts it costs more today than a year ago. Mr. Henderson is in for a trim- ing. He’s a hard working front man who will make plenty of fuss about his job but if he’s going to keep prices down he’s going to need more help than he’s getting. KAISER BILL “Poor old Kaiser Bill,” the boys u^ed to sing in the old days when the now greying generation was doing its soldiering. And how they hated him and told stories abc ut him and his family.' Civil ians, too, stood on street comers and recounted with- chauvamstic fervor the physical violences they would perpetrate on William II of Hobenzollem were they but given the opportunity. Now the former Kaiser is deaa in Holland where he fled when his armies were nearing defeat and we venture the statement that most of those who hated him so in the late teens of this century feel a bn »ympathetic toward this old man now gone to his reward. Is it possible that he might teach us a lesson about the shallowness of hate? The Kaiser was the individual who, unfortunately for him, per. sonified to most of us, the powers of aggression we disliked. We must have an individual to hate, it seems. Seldom can we be arous ed enough to fight against an ideal. V. 8. O. DRIVE During the next few days Snerman countians along With all other citizens of the United States act going to be asked to contrib ute some pocket change to^r the benefit of the men and boys who have been sent to army and navy cumps. This is the first drive of this kind of this war. If we continue there will be many of them. Purpose of this drive is to raise seme $10,000,000 in the nation, $76,000 in the state and $100 in the county to give the boys in camp a place where surroundings will be more homelike than in bar racks. , The United Service Organiza- t or. comprises six groups all of a hich aided service men and v omen during the last war. The government is building the build- i :gs adjacent to the camps. The I SO furnishes the equipment—and 1 iendship. They provide recreation—give the men something to do when not ( »illing—give shows, books, mag- r zines, letter writing material, have a place to meet family and freinds. If there be those who are in doubt as to the value of this ser- \ ice—ask the man who has been away from home in an army camp. • I EBT DESTROYS DEMOCRACY "There’s going to be a bust up ftme day” is a common expression when men are discussing the economic situation. There is little complaint about taxes principally 1 .cause they have not been levied j t for the monstrous expendi tures of the past ten years and the gargantuan outlays of the de- 1 .nse measures. There is general certainty that the country has been following tome very false economic gods and that there will be a day of retri bution and either restitution through heavy taxes or inflation tha* will be as bad or worse. Many people are living with that expectancy and are refusing to try to save money that may be practically worthlesss or be taken . vay in taexs. Government seems to be in the same position as the wounded tiger no longer able to protect it- > elf and set upon by jackals and crows each anxious to get its pound of flesh before another gets it all. I^abor leaders are boasting that they will get their share of gov ernment expenditures, capital is Lying to retain its hold and farm- evs are being told by politician» and leaders that they should have their feet in the trough along with the rest. * This philosophy of each person and each class about getting theirs while the getting is good is cer tainly the result of events of the past few years and its end will probably come when there is nothing else to get. Then the dic tators who laugh about democracy as a way of government will have another laugh. We are not going to lose our democracy to dictators. But we may throw it away. In Other Days i From the Observer June 6, 1902 Miss Lavina Webb has finished the term of school at Biggs and is once more at home. Rev. J. B. Spight and Miss Bertha Hill were married in Dalles City last week. Mr. Spight is in the active work as minister of the Baptist church and through the efforts of Rev. Clifton came to this coast and took the principal- skip of the academy at Gras« Val ley, where Miss Hill was a teacher. Johnny Harris is always in the lead with fruit and garden truck. He now has new potatoes for sale that are hard to beat. From the Observer June 7, 1912 Teachers for Moro schools em ployed for the next year are: Prof. P. M. Nash, Mias Mary Tay lor, Miss Pauline MdCqnnell and Miss Hattie E. Pierce. Officers elected for the ensuing year for the Sherman County Agri cultural Society were: A .'H . Bar num, president; D. E. Vintin, vice president; Orin Beaty, secretary; Hon. John Fulton, Col. C. A. Buck- ley, L. L. Peetz, executive commit tee. T. W. Brennan was in town on the 4th for header extras, etc., he expects to begin heading the biggest crop he has ever had in the county, about July 1st. 1'nom the Observer June 9, 1922 A- Rose and wife will leave June 9th for San Francisco where Mr. Roae will attend the Shrine assembly and later the two will return via southern California and will swing around by way of Yellowstone Park. Nabmi<3foung, who ha« been at Monmouth preparing herself for a toucher, will teach the Monkland school. However she will be in summer school for six weeks be fore taking up her school here. Mrs. Lucy Ruggles of Grass Valley has left for a summer visit with her family at Berkley, Now we are hating Hitler be cause he is the name attached to the same aggressiveness that would reduce the rights we enjoy if he could defeat us. Personally he is probably a fairly decent citizen who doesn’t smoke or drink, who consults fortune tellers of one sort or another, who has a ban stomach, who can make an emo tional talk to emotional crowds and get' away with it, who would probably return your lawn mower if he borrowed it. When he dies we may be a bit sad, because—as it is with the former Kaiser—there may be some 'one much worse to get along with Calfoimia. bothering us at the moment. b. iSU 7?
