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 He has not withdrawn from the ballot.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

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.

Enforcement is the desirable thing. There is no sense
in making suckers out of the people who pay their obli
gations to the government.

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

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.
It's all the same to me whom
we fight. It is war itself that
satisfies me. Lieut. Joachim I

Branch Requisition
WASHINGTON, July 28 (P)
V. V. 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..
The move to requisition the
rail of the branch line brought
numerous protests from Oregon
ians. No question a youngster asks
is silly unless his parents can't
