Today s Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEV '
KLAMATH union labor usually stacks up
pretty well with the best of union leader,
ship and rank and file attitude anywhere. On
... . occasion, it stands out most
favorably in comparison with
certain short-sighted policies
which may be demonstrated
by certain factions of union
labor elsewhere.
This week, for instance, wo
have the heartening resolution
from the AFL Lumber and
Sawmill Workers union op
posing strikes, lockouts, ad
journments of work, or any
EPLEY other stoppage of production
in the lumber industry, here and elsewhere.
Such a policy is fully justified by current
conditions, not onlv because there is a wartime
need for the lumber produced, but because elab
orate machinery and safeguards have been built
up in recent years which virtually eliminate
tm!.necessity of such drastic measures to gain
labor's gust ends.
Currently, too, we have here the spectacle of
union labor carrying voluntarily the leadership
of the "war savings campaign in this county in
the difficult months of March and April.
Suchr contributions, as Ave" have said, stand
out in: distinct contrast with things that some
times -pecur in labor circles elsewhere, or even
in the. national leadership of the organizations
to which our unions belong.
One such . situation which came to national
Attention recently was the AFL opposition to
theHobbs bill in congress to place robbery and .
extortion under the national anti-racketeering
act : It did. labor no good for the AFL to be
bitterly opposing a congressional attempt to
suppress robber' and extortion. The bill passed
by an overwhelming majority, indicating con
gressional reaction to the country's attitude on -this:
question.. We do not believe the men who
hc)Morm the policies of union labor hereabouts
would nave unaertaKen such a questionable
enterprise..

Dehydrator Talk
RECURRENT interest in the possibility of a
dehydration plant in Klamath Falls would
indicate that the advantages of this location
are such that the idea will not be downed.
At nresent. a considerable vnlnma nf- Vlam.
atu potatoes are, being shipped to dehydration , We HcCS Defense Figures
plants in California or In the Willamette valley. ; irm.v vt o.ij.rf ?,.,
That
is the CIO case. They built
up the idea that big salaries
are unfair to the poor man.
The opposite happens to be
true, as can bo proved.
Thus $25,000 salary limita
tion would cost the government $100,000,000
year in taxes. The people's treasury, the poor
man's treasury, would lose that colossal sum
in wartime when Mr, Morgenthau is scrapping
for every cent he can get. This $100,000,000
deficiency would have to be met, not by the
rich, but by the CIO workers and others who
would have to pay more taxes.
The estimate of this $100,000,000 tax cost has
been furnished by Colin F. Stam, chief expert
of the joint congressional committee on taxa'
tion, an impartial authority, and also the best.
Far better for the poor man it will now be,
as the high salaried man will be permitted to
earn without limit and the treasury will take
most of it away from him in taxes.
: Actually, those who earn above $25,000, net
after taxes, will be allowed to retain 10, 20,
or 30 per cent of what they make above that
figure. The government will get the 70, 80, or
90 per cent of their earnings. If it tried to
get all, obviously the big movie actor, the out
standing lawyer or proiessional man, would just
earn his $25,000 and quit.
Ask me why the government made such a
foolish proposal or the CIO endorsed it, and
I cannot answer. Perhaps, some political ad
vantage might accrue to those espousing any
action against high wage-earners, even at the
cost of $100,000,000 to the government in a
year. True also, the average man does not
stop to figure these things out. .
. .. At any rate, the move to limit salaries is now'
dead by congressional action. Let no one erect
over its grave any false notion that it would
have helped the poor man or anyone else.
This has been going on throughout the shipping '
season,'-with freight being paid on the water ;
that is in these, potatoes and which is removed ;
' at the dehydration plants. ". v,y i
Obviously, the place to dehydrate them is ;
here I, in the growing area, thus saving this'1
wasted freight.. .' " . .; .
Foi more than a year, there has-been an
undercurrent of. interest In a debydrator loca
tion jQfeQne firm actually obtained govern
mental permission to establish such a plant.
This firm has its headquarters in Chicago, and
for various reasons it finally abandoned its
Klamath project. However, if it had been
able' immediately to make local arrangements
for quarters, while the plan was hot, It might'
have gone through.
Since the first proposal, a number of other
firms and individuals have looked Into the possi
bilities of a dehydrator here, and one such in
vestigation is currently under way.
Perhaps one of these proposals will bear
fruit.. This location certainly must have con
siderable merit. . -
Those Smaller Bonds
ONE trouble with these large contributions
to the April war savings enterprise, such
as the. high school district's $100,000, is that
they have a tendency to make the little bond
buyer wonder what his small contribution
amounts to in the larger picture.
The'.big purchases, of course, are necessary
if Klamath county is to make the high quota
of $1,269,000 for the campaign, but so, also,
are the small ones, and the latter are more
important than the . big ones in' the national
effort t'to "hold the line" against inflation.
Excessive purchasing power Is a major factor
In an inf lationary spiral. Bond buying out of
regular1, earnings reduces that Inflationary force,
at tle . same time giving the buyer a sound
investment and a reserve buying power that
can be brought into play in a later period
when national and private economy need added
buying power,
The' follow who squeezes out the cash for
some extra "E" bonds is doing his part in a big
way in tills campaign period.
"E", bond purchases for March and April in
Klamath county should reach $500,000, which
Is the goal set by union labor In Hi drive
lo mnko Klamath bonds buy a sub-chaser in
March and April. Those who buy E bonds
this month are helping union labor and the
war savings committee make their quota, they
are helping the nation and they are helping
themselves. That's ft lot of argument
.
Two western insurance companies have allo
cated -$25,000 for purchase of war savings bonds
in Klamath county. Similar news from the big
companies with eastern headquarters would
also make good reading.
W1
HILE Vice President Wallace is better
known for his quart of milk a day pro
nouncements, he once said months ago that our
military expenditures !' after ; the war would
have to be "cut" to $20,000,000,000 a year.
- Some talk that our two-ocean navy will have
to be a four-ocean navy and air force explains
this tremendous figure more than 20 times as
much as we spent for defense in our slumbering
days after the last war. '
But whether defense is to cost $20,000,000,
000 a year or not,: the new debt increase bill
which the president let become law without
his signature because of his objection to the
$25,000 salary rider, shows what a tremendously
expensive government we will have
When the debt rises to $210,000,000,000, the
interest costs to the treasury will be more than
$5,000,000,000 a year nearly enough to run
two whole United States governments in the
Coolidge era.
Executive and administrative costs lately have
averagea about $7,000,000,000. Consequently
government even without defense must
cost $12,000,000,000 a year, or $2,000,000,000
more than the New Dealers ever spent in their
wlldest spending year before the war.
If you add on to this only 25 per cent of
Wallace's estimate and place defense costs at
$5,000,000,000 a year, you will have an annual
federal budget of $17,000,000,000 twice the
size of the average New Deal spending outlay.
More Tax Talk
HOUSE ways and means committee Chairman
Doughton was wined and dined at home
recently and, therefore, came back stronger
than ever against Ruml, etc. He was angry
at reports that democratic Floor Leader Mac
Cormack was working behind the scenes to get
something out of the tax mess in a pay-as-you-go
line. , ...
The situation is still inexplicable. All con
cerned sometimes feel that they look like be
wildered children rather than tax leaders, and
they are right in that conclusion, at least . . .
. . . Some serious "MacArthur for president"
talk Is heard in republican circles for the first
time. One of the favorite sons privately lists
MacArthur as his personal candidate (does not
want his name used yet) , , ,
. . . What brought this talk out was the
Stlmson order designed to prevent anyone in
the army from running for a political office
other than he now holds, or held when placed
on active duty. The order thus helped the
MacArthur Idea. If anyone wants MacArthur
to run for president, such an order will certain
ly not stop him . , ,
. . . After getting a fourth term organization
started and putting forth the idea to the
country, the administration game now is to
soft pedal all talk, along that lino. You hear
very little discussion, even In congressional
cloakrooms.
