Truth About Smith
AN over-worked political artifice in Oregon is to daim
that one's opponent is a "tool" of the power inter
ests. Even when he is or lias been in some way af
filiated with a utility corporation, the accusation may be
unwarranted. But when he has never had any af
filiation with a utility, such trickery becomes cheap and
despicable.
In a story appearing in this newspaper this week,
written for us by a man affiliated with the Hess cam
paign in this county but one upon whom we feel we can
rely for faithful reporting of a meeting, there appeared
the following sentence concerning the candidacy of Gov
ernor Charles H. Martin:
Hess said further that d urine the progress of this campaign
it should be remembered In Martin's favor that It was entirely
in the hands of Martin's campaign manager, a man widely
- known to be and tor $ears to have been a paid lobbyist of
power, telephone and other utility interests.
Governor Martin's campaign manager is Edgar W.
Smith, who accompanied him on his tour of Klamath
county this week. On Wednesday this newspaper re
ceived a telephone call from a local man who had dis
cussed the gubernatorial situation with a number of
citizens. He said they told him Mr. Smith was a
"utilities man" and a utilities propagandist. They obvi
ously were speaking on authority of ex-Senator Hess,
having either heard him make the quoted statement in
his speech here Saturday night, or having read the story
in this newspaper quoting him. Inasmuch as we trust
the Hess worker who prepared the story, we presume
the statement was made by Mr. Hess.
It is palpably untrue. Edgar Smith, the manager of
Governor Martin's campaign, was raised in the Pendleton
wheat country, entered the flour mill business in Astoria,
.; sold to the Pillsbury people, organized and operated an
agency of the Oregon Mutual Life Insurance company,
retired from the insurance business to re-enter farming,
became chairman of the state milk board. He has never
been "widely known" or known -at all to be a paid
propagandist for a utility corporation.
The false information about Mr. Smith is apparently
being used by the workers for Mr. Hess in this com
munity, probably through ignorance of the facts. No

fossiDiy ine error came inrougn a coniusion 01 me
name Smith. If that is the case, we mildly suggest that
there are Smiths in all walks of life, and those who jump
to conclusions about people named Smith are taking
serious chances. Finally, it all tracks back to the old
"utility tool" political trick it's so commonplace with
certain kinds of politicians that they do it without first
checking their facts.
Help Work It Out
PARKING meters have gone by the board. The city
council acted properly under the circumstances which
confronted it. In fairness, the council should have the
benefit of any doubts in connection with the whole pro
cedure. Its action was simply too hasty.
Now that the emotional phase of the situation is
past, citizens in general should give serious thought to
the problems involved in parking and traffic matters in
Klamath Falls, and should give assistance and co-operation
to city officials in working them out. The solution,
whatever form it takes, should develop from general
public consideration and should have general support.

WASHINGTON, May 6 Oov.
Phil LaKoHotto, honrt ot iho
new third movon.pnt, which may
or may not become the third,
fourth or fifth party, has been
hitting top h rati lines roxularly
with his koynoto cry for expan
sion of production. Hut the nldn?
LaKoltotte has been a littto hack
ward about say. iik how ho is ro
iiig to do tt. Ho ta concoalliiff pin
ing to do it. Ho is concelaii.K plaus
(the news reports from Madison
have said i because he ts afraid
Mr. Koosevelt will ateal it or
recommend' something to con
gress to tuka the edgo off it, if
he lets It out before congress
adjourns.
This buildup has worried poli
tico here, particularly around
the White House. It tt is what
they think it is, no headline will
be big enough to hold it. It
would spread right off. the top
of any newspaper pago in the
land.
Basis of the Inner but lofty
suspicion hro is that a La
Follette legislator in the house,
Kep. A m 1 te, put f o r wu rd J u at
such a project a year ago In an
obscure- bill which has not been
considered. Mr. Amlie called It
"the Industrial expansion act"
(H. R. No. 7331$.. He hns
seen lior. Phil and brought back
word to the laKoUotti . faithful
here that this was the nubbin of
the new idea.
$2.VH A YKAH
The industrial expansion act Is
the old Kzekiel plan in a nut
shell. The original idea ts sup
posed to have been set forth in
a book by Mordecal Kxektel. the
agriculture department econom
ist. His book was entitled
"$2500 a year," Implying that
under the plan everyone would
get that or more.
Two unnoticed 'speeches have
been made about it in the house,
but it never has been fully ex
plained, possibly because the task
is difficult if not insurmountable.
Basically, the bill proposes to
set up a government board
(members to gpt J50 a day) to
work out specific Industrial pro
duction expansion projects under
25 per cent processing tax.
The tax is supposed to be just
a penalty for compelling iudustry
to expand their production to
the extent directed by the board.
They say 95 per cent of it would
be refunded.
BI Y SIRPLIS
Offhand this would seem to
provide an automatic Initial in
crease, of 2d pec cent in prices,
but the bill says prices shall not
be increased over the general
level of the past 12 months. On
the other hand, it might appear
that prices would eventually go
through the bottom of the base
ment floor with all the extra
goods on hand. But the bill says
this is not to be true either, be
cause the government would be
obligated to buy up everything
the producers cannot sell. What
this would cost the government
did not seem to worry the auth
ors. They wrote In a limitless
provision appropriating "any
moneys In the treasury not other
wise appropriated."
What the government would
do with all the excess produc
tion likewise is unclear, although
friends of the plan have sug
gested the United States would
give the stuff away or sell it to
somebody who might need it out
somewhere in remote regions
"where the industrial market
does not reach."
Apparently this means the is
lands ot the south seas, although
the legislation does not say how
the difficulties of disposing the
surplus in pants, shoes, silk
stockings are going to be met
mere.
DIFFERENCE?
Advocates of the Plan have
been making the big point that
It would preserve capitalism
against the inroads of socialism,
communism and fascism. Ap
parently it would. It would give
a government board the right to
fix production, prices, wages
and profits outside of that busi
ness would be entirely free. In
other words . the government
would merely run business and
let private capital keep the
ownership of it. What difference
from fascism this would make
to any businessman or consumer
seems to be a minor point which
will be considered only by scof
fers. NOTE The bill has not moved
an Inch since it vas Introduced
June 1, 1937, and Is not likely to

The well informed hero arc
nevertheless being inspired to
study all "planned production"
plans, as this seems to be the
next coming subject ot national
discussion. Various little incidents
lately have Indicated Mr. Roose
velt may yet beat iJiFolletto et al
to the draw on the subject.
First notice of official Inter
est was manifest In the Babassu
oil bill, which would have given
the census bureau authority to
collect all production, inventory
aud price information. Later it
developed that "planned produc
tion" cooperntlon suggestions
were being offered to the White
House, by economic advisers.
Mr. R took a first step lit his
anti-monopoly message rec-,
ommending creation ot a bureau
of Industrial economics to collect
exactly the statistics which the
census bureau would have gone
after, under the Babassti oil bill.
Next he tried unsuccessfully to
get Henry Ford interested in
joining Chrysler and General
Motors to swap Inventory In
formation so as to plan produc
tion ahead for the auto industry.
Then the 18 industrialists who
signed the llaynes proclamation
promising cooperation with the
government are known to have
been sounded out on production
pooling ideas. Individually, it not
collectively by government ad
visers. Something may be worked out
on it yet.
