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.

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

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."
