Lake, Modoc and SUklyoo Countlea Three Months . fill Motithi Ona War Civil Service PERFECTLY understandable was Mayor John Houston's wistful comment at Monday night's council meeting concerning the possibility of having the police chief's office placed under civil service. Mayor Houston has been under a cross-fire of controversy that developed as soon as the public discovered have to be appointed. His for some method which would avoid such turmoil over appointments in the future. remove the appointive responsibility from the mayor's shoulders and make the selection of police chief a me chanical process that could not be influenced by pub lie opinion. The suggestion is one that needs to be thoroughly studied if it is to be considered to be offered the voters in look like a better idea than Klamath's entire fire department, including the chief, and the local police department, excluding the chief, are under civil service. Presumably, the reason the police chief was not placed under civil service when the system was instituted was that it was felt desirable to make this office strictly responsible to the mayor, who in turn is responsible to the people as the city s chief elective officer. This relationship would be destroyed if the police chief's office were placed under civil service, and the success of the department would no longer be a direct responsibility of the mayor. In other words, the proposed plan is a decentraliza tion of authority. ; To the public generally, the police department rep resents the chief function of the city government, and the way it is conducted forms the basis of most opinion as to the success of a city administration. For that reason, under the nrespnt svstpm. it. is thp mftvnr'n -inh tn nnnnint a police chief who will run the department as a part of administration policy. If we want to keep that plan, and continue this responsibility upon the mayor's shoulders, we should not put the police chief under civil service. The argument on the other side is that civil service would take the police job "out of politics." An officer, once in, would stay there until he resigns, retires, or is removed for cause. This would be most satisfactory in case an able man held the office; not so good, otherwise. It would give the police department protection against a corrupt mayor, if the people were to make the mistake of electing one. And so it goes. There are two sides to it, and as we have said, it deserves study before it is decided upon as either the thing to do or something to avoid. When the new charter comes before the people, it will include many things. It will be necessary to thresh some of these things out beforehand, or the whole revision of the charter might be decided upon one controversial issue when it comes before the voters in November.

News Ik BEHINim WASHINGTON, July 21 Gov- V A-nn.nn n...n.ul J.I . a day more to Little Steel work ers was hailed everywhere as an economic adjustment for "labor. The wage Increase formula of this initial war test is presum ably to be extended to the Chry- sier, ueneral Motors, and a score of other rases pending be fore the war labor board. The government announces this as its method of handling the cause of "labor," although probably no more than a million workers are involved. Now again, as upon every occasion in which a CIO or AFL union tangles with govern' mcnt. the public will be led to believe that "labor" as a whole is involved. The whole governmental sys' tern, and even the press handling of such news, has encouraged the fallacious notion that this small AFL-CIO minority of the nation s workers Bre labor. The war labor board was set up by Mr. Roosevelt to handle only union cases. Even back before the new deal area, congress and the government gave no special consideration to the rights and interests of other workers, ex cepting these organized minori ties. Now when government con trols have been extended over all economic life to such an ex tent that the bread people eat is measured in Washington, the popular fallacy is continued without objection or notice. The newspapers unwittingly per petuate this reception by pub lishing both in headline and text about "labor did this" and "labor got that," when they mean only the CIO or AFL. , e e I UNION MINORITY There are 50,000,000 workers in this country. No more than 8,000,000 belong to CIO and AFL. The acute interest of the other 42,000,000 in our war eco nomy and in our preparations for a managed post war system are ignored. The AFL claimed 4,569,000 paid-up members last year and no doubt has more now. The CIO claimed 5,000,000 members but did not mention how many were paid-up, and probably has less than 3,000,000 In good stand ing. Latest figures from the Mc- Nutt public welfare headquart ers here officially places the total number of workers at 50,- 800,000, including: War Workers :.. 17,500,000 Non-war 20,500,000 Agricultural .-. 7,800,000 Self-employed . 5,000,000 There are also unemployed (meaning unemployable) 2,400,- 000, and 5,500,000 are in the armed services. The, national income division of the commerce department has figures showing that salaries and wages were paid last year to 33,887,000 workers, skilled, un skilled, white collar, etc., not including agricultural or govern mental. These 33,887,000 re ceived much more than half the national income, $53,701,000,000, or an average of $1,504. You must add to these the 4,523,000 self-employed who received $6,- 160,000,000, or an average of $1,362 each. Also to be added are 6,073,000 farmers who are workers. According to these in adequate national income fig ures, they received more than the self-employed (little business men mostly), about $8,482,000, 000, an average of $1400. (This does not include hired hands.) NO CONSIDERATION ' There are four representatives of the public on the war labor board, along with four union leaders and four industrial rep resentatives, but no considera tion beyond this "public repre sentation" was given to the in terest of the great bulk of the workers of this country In this little steel case, or any other. Their interest however is ob vious. Whether the 44 cents in-J crease is to cost $zz,uuo,ODO a year for little steel alone, or $44,000,000 for all the steel in dustry, or hundreds of millions when the increase is spread to unionized Chrysler, , General Motors, and the others, labor will have to pay it. The cost of government contracts will be in creased by that amount and the Implements of war will drain Just that much more from the treasury. No one will arise to claim the little steel increase was not Justified on a basis of the in creased cost of living the yardstick which Mr. Roosevelt has fixed. But any thinking person can see the political sham and economic pretense that en ters Into a government managed economy which considers only the Interests of a minority of workers. If increases to the 8,000,000 are Justified by the yardstick, some Increases to the other 42.000,000 can hardly be neglected. They cannot live outside Mr. Roosevelt's yard stick. Their rights In a demo cracy are no less Just for their SIDE GLANCES if Q4 cosa. ts av kta aiavKC. iwc. T. w. atq u. a. pat, off. 7-J I "Another order of peas, quick) I'm losing the war i have to brinfl up reinforcements I" having failed to pay tribute to AFL or CIO for their Jobs. But if this is done and the in creases are extended to all, in flation will surely rise in a great ly accelerated spiral, and defeat the purpose of any wage in crease. The logical solution dic tated by these facts therefore would seem to require a freez ing of all, including little steel. Certainly this governmental pretense of helping "labor" by only helping a few, unions will become increasingly apparent and unjust as Washington pro ceeds upon the path of managed economy into which it rushed at the outset ot the war to fix prices, wages and the economic lives of its people. DIVORCE II Li. LOS ANGELES, July 21 (rP) Blonde Mae West and. Vaude ville Dancer Frank Wallace came today to the end of the marriage they started in 1911, and managed to keep secret 24 years. Wallace, grey-haired and slight, came to court and with drew jus suit for separate main tenance against the curvaceous former film actress. Then Miss West asked for -.and received a divorce decree on her cross complaint Judge Alfred E. Paonessa ques tioned Wallace at length whether he understood that by withdrawing, the case he for feited any right to reinstltute it. Wallace said he did. "I never wanted to bring this suit in the first place," he said. "All I wanted to do was to do my work." Miss West was on the stand briefly. Questioned by Attorney Henry Herzbrun she testified they were married In Milwaukee in 1911 but lived together onty a few weeks. They parted, he said, when they went on tour with different shows. "I never saw him again until a few years ago," Miss West testified. "I heard he had re married so naturally I thought he had divorced me."
