This week those of us who live here in Ashland, and
all the rest of the people in the nation are enjoying the
Republican circus which is going on in Philadelphia.
The Republican show will probably be a much better
show than the forthcoming Democratic show because
of the strong contenders for the title of nominee, all
of whom are putting on a sideshow of their own, sec­
ondary to the main show.
At the Democratic convention the sideshows will j
be few and far between, unless some strong contender

FOURTH OF JULY
Again Ashland is to be the center of Fourth of July
activity for Southern Oregon. The cowboy set is all
ready for the big show which will take place July 5.
The dance crowd is looking forward to the big Satur­
day night dance and Beauty contest floor show which
is scheduled for July 3. And the baseball minded mem­
bers of the community are out pumping for their big
day, June 27, which will be Ashland Baseball ,day.
Committees and committee members have been giv­
ing freely of their time in order to whip the celebration
into shape.
Southern Oregon Development Association has been
revived and three Bendix washers are going to be given
to some member of the Association at the annual meet­
ing in Lithia Park which will be held this year on July 5
It looks like a big time in the oldtown.

What is the outlook for business activity, prices,
wages, etc, for the next year or so?
The economists seem to be in reasonable agreement.
There is no forseeable decline in industrial production
in general. No one is talking about depressions, except
as a very long range possibility. Employment, conse­
quently, will remain high.
More wage increases are on the way—General Mot­
ors’ recent agreement with the auto workers probably
indicates the pattern.
It is expected that there will be some rise in com­
modity prices, perhaps averaging three or four per
cent by the end of year. Some prices will naturally go
up more than others. The new Ford cars, as an ex­
ample, cost about 9 per cent more than the previous
models. Only moderate increases in food prices are
forecast.
The influence of the preparedness program, which
will cost about $13,000,000,000 during the next fiscal
year, is being watched closely. This, coming on top of
the European Aid Program, will place another heavy
burden on basic industries. That drain may be severe
in the case of materials now in short supply. From the
consumer’s point of view, it will be marked by a small­
er production of automobiles and similar goods than
