MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATION Checking Trade Barriers EFFECTIVE work has been done to check the trend toward 'Balkanization" of the United States by state trade barriers. About two years ago the extent of these barriers was suddenly realized and public-spirited news papers, civic organizations and public officials began the campaign that is now Dcanng iruit. ine council ox State Governments did a most effective job toward check ing a trend that struck at the foundations of the federal system and promised increasing unfavorable economic effects upon the country. Governor Stark of Missouri, speaking a few days ago at a meeting of the Council of State Governments in Chicago, recalled the interstate barrier trend in these words: "Interstate trade barriers had been growing rapidly throughout the country. Innumerable laws requiring the states to purchase only from local bidders, statutes levying special taxes on out of state corporations, en actments of various kinds establishing a variety of high way regulations and restrictions were being enacted by state after state, and retaliatory measures were being passed by other states. Discussing the campaign to stop this, he said: "Its effect upon state legislatures then in session was most encouraging. JSo new trade barriers were enacted by the 43 legislatures then in session; all such laws in troduced were defeated, or if passed were vetoed by governors; and many tariff laws then in effect were repealed. Oregon was no exception as the states moved to erect barriers between themselves. The last legislature saw new efforts of that kind in this state, which fortuir ately were halted. Others may develop' at the next session. , Interstate trade barriers are of particular danger to the Klamath country, ' .which exports most of its great agricultural crop and would be sadly damaged by ahy action taken in Oregon that would prompt retaliatory measures by other states, particularly California. Candi dates for the legislature from this district should be asked to make their positions clear on this issue, and Klamath voters should see to it that men are sent to the legislature equipped with the ability, prestige and spirit to fight effectively any efforts to erect trade barriers that would be harmful to our district. The fact that the trend has been generally halted should not be permitted to lull us into complacency and false security. We don't want any harmful exceptions in Oregon. News Rfhi Safety Sally Unsafe THE city recreation office reports that in the past month "Safety. Sally" signs near the city's schools have been struck at least eight times by automobiles. In some instances the motorist whose car struck the sign called up to report the accident and to offer to pay for repairs. In others, he said nothing to the authorities about it. Destruction or damage of these signs, which are a part of the important work of protecting Klamath children when crossing streets, is most deplorable. But there is reason for greater concern in the pre sumption that a motorist who cannot see a "Safety Sally" cannot see a child. The signs are of the approximate size and form of a little girl, and so far as the motorist is concerned, it might just as well be a small child waiting for him to pass. If his car strikes tin instead of flesh, it is just his good luck and no credit to his driving ability or his caution. Heavy Snows in Midwest Bolster Hopes for Crop KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan.

A IV'., El 1 r 8 m TO HAPPINESS . with Fred MacMurray ALSO TRAVEL, NOVELTY AND NEWS SIDE GLANCES WASIUNGTON, Jau. 8 Tremen riimi atsnaiialnn of business Is forecast officially Inside Mr. Koosevelt's new budget. Ho prophesies a boom of extensive proportions, apparently broader, greater and sharper than any lu modern history. It came this way: In estimating tax receipts for. tho next la months, the administration was required to calculate the future of various lines of business during this period. The treasury found the task too great to attempt alone. Every outstanding ecouo mist in the government service was called Into consultation to give his opinion Goldcuweiscr Nathan, Currle, Eiekiel, Beau I.ubln, Garfield, and a doien others. Their individual confiden tial forecasts were sifted and ap plied to the various linos of busl ness. The results were amnilng, es pecially in view of the general tm pressiou that we are entering a period of reaction beyond which the future is gravely doubtful, a a SPKCIFIC GAINS Some specific lines of business were forecast in the budget to be up 60 to 60 per cent in this and the coming fiscal years. Increase lu radio sets and phou ographs was fixed at 33 per cent for this year, 23 per ceut next Auto truck activity was calculated to be 23 per cent greater this year than last, and 26 per cent higher next year. Sales of mech anical refrigerators up 30 per cent this year, up 18 per cent more next. Passenger autos and motor cycles were judged to be up" 28 per cent this year, an additional 16 per cent next. Telephones and telegraph up 13 per cent, then up 8 more; gasoline 7 per cent, then 6 per cent, liquor 7 and 5. beer and 6, cigarettes 7 and 8. The movies (as Mr. Koosevelt's seers see them) will be up 5 per cent'tbis year, 5 more next. Use of electrical energy (a key index of general business activity) was predicted to be up only 1 per cent this year, but 6 per cent next. However, stock buying (which Is perhaps the broadest barometer of general business) was expected to be np 1 6 per cent next year. No increase was expected this year. PRODUCTION- UP Note well that these are the fis cal years this year being the one starting last July 1 and running to next July 1, next year being the ensuing 12 month period. In view of this overlapping, it la difficult to calculate precisely how much higher the government expects business to go above existing levels. Yet some conclusions can be measured justifiably in industrial production, the official federal re serve board business barometer. I. P. in the calendar year 1939 just closed has averaged about 105. The treasury figures indi cate the average for the next six months will be about 113; for the twelve months beyond that at about 120. In short, the beat minds of gov ernment seem to have measured business down for the next few months Industrial production like this: December 127, January 120, February 117, March 115, April 110, May 107, June 105. Then they have started an upward cycle which they expect to carry activity higher than ever before, probably to a maximum of 130 or 140. ADVERSE NOTE NOTE This should be of spe cial Interest to John L. Lewis' economic advisers In CIO who have just announced a collapse is coming the last quarter of this year and advised everyone to dig in for it. POLITICAL TINT Wishful political thinking may lurk somewhere behind these big boom prophesies, but the evidence does not disclose it. The men who wrote the estimates may have been mindful of the coming presi dential balloting only they would know about that , On Its valid face their effort la an official forecast, a composite viewpoint. m&smjk If ' sv atanct. c T. av ia a a. mt. ma. walk rltht In front of cr and cause a motorist to miss a Blight break In traffic Why not con trol this In Boms way?

REFORM MOVE Senator Pat Harrison's move for an independent congressional In quiry of the budget Is not the autt admlnlstrntion move it is widely interpreted to be. Treasury Sec retary Morgenthau first suggested the idea in testimony to the house ways and means committee May 7. Morgenthau recommended It as a permanent reform. Eventually It probably will be made permanent. If congress la to appropriate efficiently It must necessarily go behind the bud getary conclusions lo ascertain if these are justified. Without such Inquiry, congress must accept whatever figures and general con clusions are offered without Inde pendent knowledge or understand ing of their accuracy. In tbia particular Inquiry, for Instance, aa Inquiry might easily find the $460,000,000 of new taxes desired by the president are not neces sary and it probably will. The Harrison Idea, therefore, will not only be adopted by con gress this time, but probably will become a habit. linker Kills Wife Over 'Poison Plot' ONTARIO.
