Bit Montha One Year Odd Situation AN odd situation that could happen only in war time has developed in county politics. Jack Benner, democratic county commissioner, has left for officers' training. Under a new law, when a man goes into the service from a public office, the office is not vacated until the term would regularly expire. Mr. Benner's term expires at the end of this year, so he con tinues to hold the office until that time. The same law provides that at the next term of county court, the remaining court members shall appoint an officer pro tern to serve in the place of the man gone. Next term of court comes in September and October, so a pro tern appointment may be made by Judge U. E Reeder and Commissioner John Reber in that period. But Mr. Benner is also the democratic nominee for re-election. He has not withdrawn from the ballot. If he does not do so, he will be a candidate at the November election, although he will not be here and no one will know how soon he can resume actual duties as county commissioner if elected. On the ballot at the November election will be the name of Fred L. Pope Jr., Fort Klamath farmer and the republican nominee for commissioner. W. F. B. Chase, former county commissioner, has indicated he will run for the county commissioner job as. an independent. County court members are considering the idea of waiting until after the November election before making their pro tern appointment. The election will be only a few days after the close of the term of court in which the appointment is provided for by the new law. If they can wait, they can appoint the people's choice for the pro tern officer to serve until the first of the year, pro vided that choice is not Mr. Benner. If it is Mr. Benner. another pro tem appointment cause jar. iJenner, presumably, wiii not be nere to taxe over. Another angle on this unusual situation is that there exists the bare possibility of Reeder and Mr. Reber on the court matters, so far as that is concerned. There being an even number of members on; the court at this time, there is no way to break a deadlock by vote if one should occur. Fortunately, the two court are reasonable men and aiuerences tnat would otherwise result in complete stop' page of action on any matter. The situation is indeed ber election may or may not untangle it Those Auto Stamps A LOT of people, some of them acquaintances of ours, have been playing a little waiting game that may cost them $25. When the time came for purchase of the federal auto stamps at the beginning of this month, somebodv sDread the word that the federal government had no machinery for enforcement of this tax and those who did not get stamps could "get away with it." Hence, a good many motorists put oil buying the stamps. But it now develops the government does have the machinery to enforce this tax. This week, delinquent motorists are receiving little slips telling them to buy a stamp by August 1 or else. ana are caugnt at jt, will be penalized $25. Enforcement is the desirable thing. There is no sense in making suckers out of the people who pay their obli gations to the government.

Lovely Arabian Marquise GEMS Non-Tarnishable Mounting Guaranteed 8 Years e) Simulated Platinum Mounting Marquise Gems are cut and polished by expert cutters, and have brilliance of gems cost ing much more, News Beh thlvNe BvRmlMallon WASHINGTON, July 28 Labor personages have been running in and out of the White House for the past two weeks With each one has emerged new rumor, bearing an official flavor, of what President Roose velt intends to do about rising wages. f irst, it was virtually an nounced that he would send message to congress asking that both wages and prices be frozen, But visitors Phil Murray and William Green, representing the one-sixth of the nation's workers who are in CIO or AFL, pro tested such a course. Later word relayed from the Inside, suggested the president would order the freezing by ex ecutive decree without congress ional action. But at his last press confer ence, while declining to say what steps he would take to dissipate the rising spectre of inflation, he used a strange new phrase "parity wages. This ominous phrase seems al ready to have been adopted by the government as its wugc poi icy (Leon Henderson dissenting), Mr. Roosevelt appears already to have worked out and applied his solution without announcement 15 PER CENT UP I understand the war labor board has followed up its little steel decision with the adoption of a IS per cent wage increase yardstick measured back to Jan uary 1, 1941. That is, the board has decided the cost of living has gone up 15 per cent since that date, and therefore wages should be 15 per cent higher. In the case of little steel, the unions had already received a 10 per cent increase last April iwhen Ernest Weir bolted the steel manufacturers and ordered a hike without warning.) There fore, the board gave little steel an additional 5 per cent increase this time, or 44 cents a day, to bring the total since January 1941 up to IS per cent. The war labor board has sug gested to the U. S. conciliation service, John R. Steelman, dl rector, that it try to settle all wage issues on the same basis. If a union has had 15 per cent increase, it is to get no more. If it has had 8 per cent, presumably it is to have another 7 per cent. About half of the eight million organized workers in the country are supposed to have received their 15 per cent increase al ready. Nearly all the others have received some increase. This program is meat for Ma Perkins, Murray and Green, the WLB and other laborites in the government, but has Mr. Hend erson tearing off his clothes and tossing them out the window. No greater evidence that "par ity wages" will not stop infla tion, but will help to bring it about, could possibly be found than the fact Henderson is against it, and trying to stop it. POLITICAL RING "Parity wages" is nothing but a nice excusing phrase for wage increases, which will cause price increases and eventually more wage increases. . It has an old political ring. The farmers concocted the phrase "parity farm prices," in order to keep prices continually going up. And when some of their prices finally reached par ity a few months back, they moved their goal up to 110 per cent of parity. So It will be with such a wage program. Mr. Henderson warned Sun day that food prices were going up, meaning the cost of living is now on the way to higher levels. When this happens, labor will come back again and ask for another increase, and the farm ers will have to have a similar Increase, and the whole vicious spiral of one helping the other to force both wages and prices Natural Gold Color Perfectly Cut Stone Diamond's Rival ' New Creations These Marquise Gems look INDtS, mm ineir llery brilliance . . . their blue white dazzling beauty and their fine cutting.

"You're two weeks overdue for your hnir cut. Judge you know I take a lot of pride in seeing thnt the law of our town is well groomed 1" Into high inflationary levels, will inevitably proceed. Meanwhile the other 42,000,- 000 workers in the country whose economic welfare seems to be ignored in this govern ment's managed war economy, will find all values of everything they own and earn shrinking as the spiral of ambitions of the unions and farmers forces prices into ever higher ground. Mr. Henderson is right, but there seems no prospect that he will win. His demand for the arbitrary freezing of all wages and prices at existing levels can gain little sympathy in congress, which must face an election in November, or in the administra tion where the labor and farm groups are most highly respected. HENDERSON WARNS Mr. Henderson has been try ing to keep wages from forcing prices up by warning business men in private phone calls, cor respondence and through the press, that any wage increases undertaken by employers with out an order Irom me war labor board, will not be considered by him as a justification lor price increases. Mr. Henderson's attitude is complicating Mr. Steelman's con ciliation service efforts to avoid strikes. Obviously employers are not going to enter Mr. Steel- mans voluntary settlements. calling for any wage increases, until ordered by the war labor board, so they can increase prices. So far in this war, the con ciliation service has handled 5000 cases, of which only 300 tough ones have been sent up to the war labor board. Now the war labor board is likely to be swamped unless Henderson gives up the ghost. The injustices, inanities and conflicts in both wage and price policies since the war began are obviously leading up to arbitrary freezing (as Bernard Baruch told them would be necessary from the start), and there seems some question "now as to whether this inevitable consequence can suc cessfully be delayed until after the elections November 3, for the sake of politics.

Boatncr, director of the division of railway transport of the office of defense transporta tion, notified Senator McNary Monday that the agency had ad vised the war production board that the need tor steel rail was sufficiently urgent to justify re quisitioning the rail of the Union Pacific's Brogan branch in Ore gon. "The continued operation of this segment of the railroad is not essential to the prosecution of the war effort," Boatncr mid..
