Weekend Roundup
COMMUNITY controversy, such as we have been having
in Klamath Falls the past few days, is occasionally
Inevitable. It is evidence of nublic interest in public bus!
ness, and there can be worse things than that In general,
it is fair to say that what has occurred here is a part of the
democratic nrocess.
Let us warn, however, against those who. secretly or
openly, like to agitate a fight "for the fun of it." There
is a danger that these people will have their fun at the
expense of somebody else, possibly those for whom they
profess to be agitating, we nave seen it happen.
Better keep it to a sincere expression of public interest,
looking to a constructive and fair solution that will leave
no permanent scars, and will do no unjust damage. That,
we believe, is a pattern to which all of us can subscribe.
At this point, let us say on the basis of a rather intimate
observation of the current controversy, that Charles Stan
field, the high school music supervisor, has refrained from
agitating the situation or stirring up feeling.
. The sentiment in evidence in Mr. Stanfield's behalf has
been for the most part spontaneous, springing from loy
alty, appreciation of his sen-ices, and admiration of his
work.
Our high school correspondent started his column yes
terday -with a remark which older people may ponder
with satisfaction.
He said: "This is America. If it wasn't the action
taken by the students Thursday would not have been
allowed.
Students at the high school, disturbed by an action
Dy the school authorities, were able to exnress their feel
ings freely in an assembly and by petition. There is a
lesson in Americanism in that
Klamath Sportsmen's association, In a statement of
poncy announced this week, struck a chord that will find
response in all loyal people.
The sportsmen declared their sunoort of nnv action
taken by constituted authority in protection of the forests
and other resources, even to the extent of closing various
areas or an areas xo nunting or rishing. In a country
where hunting and fishing is of such vital interest to a
great many people, that is a significant announcement
It was a loyal and creditable action, and we take pride
that it. originated in Klamath Falls.
There Is underway a serious study of policy In con
nection with the forest areas in the coming year.
It is possible that their greatest protection would not
be served by absolute closure, and competent forest men
are giving this possibility serious consideration.
It is clear to all that there is going to be a fire season of
great danger, and every reason for public cooperation that
has been quoted in past years is of greater importance
than ever this year. The action of the Sportsmen's as
sociation is evidence that the public is well aware of
that fact
WASHINGTON. March 14
-noosevcii resurrected
a lost chord the fear of Infla
tion In his farm speech, and
Mrs. Roosevelt's column a day
or so later said she now is in
favor of freezing prices, wages
and profits to dissolve that fear.
Such outward manifestations
usually reflect inner prepara
tions for action, and this time
they seem to forecast an imml-
nent presidential request to
congress for legislation to
freere the present circumference
of our expanding economic bub
ble.
What has warmed up this
subject, weeks after congres
sional and public demand
thinned out. is that Mr. Hen
derson apparently has found he
cannot do it his way. Piecemeal
restraints on a few "Important"
prices have not kept the general
price level from continuing to
rise. Informal price fixing lias
proved only a sievclike deter
rent, not a stopper.
The country meanwhile Is In
the midst of a period of plant
conversion from the making of
people's goods to war goods.
Less and less goods for the peo
ple are going to be available
from now on, but the people
(as a whole) have more and
more money with which to buy
goods they cannot get. The tax
bill, stiff as it is, and the war-bond-selling
program, good as It
is. are both insufficient to ab
sorb all this idle money.
Unanimity of official opinion.
therefore, is veering to long de
layed refrigeration.

has worked this way:

they thought it should be, they
Issued a warning to the indus

paper industry. A meeting was
called and generally an infor
mal agreement to hold various
prices was adopted.
If these continued to Increase,
as did wastepaper, he wrote the
industry a letter asking it to
freeze. If this did not work, he
issued a temporary regulation
good for 60 days.
When that failed, as it fre
quently has, he had to Invest!
gate profits, production costs,
etc., not only of that industry
but all related industries, be
fore he could issue an order ac
tually fixing the price of the
wastepaper. It is impossible to
do this with hundreds of thou
sands of products in their hun
dreds of thousands of stages.
Notable other Instances In
which this system has similarly
failed include certain types of
chemicals, used tires, rubber.
cigarets.
Only way to stop prices is to
stop them, and then start in
making corrections. But for
some reason Henderson does not
seem anxious to do that on his
own yet, wants a law to back
him up, a law which would ex

economic results.
This viewpoint is likely to

TREASURY HIT
Government economists have
been cussing Uncle Henry Mor
genthau up and down depart
mental corridors for failing to
make his tax bill sufficiently
confiscatory of this Idle money.
His corporation tax would run
from 65 to 80 per cent on busi
ness profits and very heavily
upon professional and middle
class people, but the Idle money
is not in these hands. It is In
the hands of union labor and
the lower income factory
groups. Thus, while it Is the
oretically possible to dry up
Inflation with taxes, it Is po
litically Impossible.

considering the overall growth
of national income is that the
salary of the average white col

RATIONING EYED
Rationing plus price fixing
might do the anti-inflation job,
but the government officials
seem unsure about overall ra

effect it and enforce it. Details

out. At least, these are the ob

authorities and likely to guide

F. R.'S JOB
Before any step can be taken
however, it is evident the gov
ernment will have to coordin
ate its price-treasury-wage-agri
culture policies. The only one
who can do it is Mr. Roosevelt
himself.
So far, Morgenthau has been
making tax policy, Henderson
price policy, the farm bloc and
lobby the agricultural policy,
and the labor unions the wage
policy. The interest of each is
conflicting with all the others
and the whole.
Morgenthau wants revenue,
Henderson wants all prices
down, agriculture wants all ex
cept farm prices down, labor
wants farm prices down, its own
wages up. The governments
economic program has grown
