Lake Modoc Sitkiyou counties year S7.00 Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY A MOST promising drive organization as powerful in able and diversified man power as any we have seen here, in fart has been set up for the Klamath community fund drive. If this operations organiza tion turns out to be as good as it looks, Klamath's $65,200 quota will be oversubscribed and a nest-egg can be put away for next year's commun ity fund campaign. As everyone must know by now, the Klamath campaign will include all local financial drives except the Ked Cross roll call, and will also embrace the state and national welfare and relief agencies included in the war chest. There are a lot of national groups which would be running campaigns now if they had not been grouped together and their goals scaled down. The whole scheme is designed to take care of every deserving effort, locally nd nationally, in one swoop. If Klamath people will respond as generously with their money as the drive organization business men, labor leaders, professional men and farmers is giving in time and effort, the thing will go over and that will be that for another year. Bend Bulletin, which watches Klamath with a rather critical eye, has taken note of the program worked out here and remarks: "Our bets are on Klamath to succeed this year." day last week . . .

EPLEY News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON yASMNGTON, Aug. 29 The headlines "Eggs lead upswing in cost of living." The announcement is made by Mr. Roosevelt's labor secretary, Frances Fcr kins, who makes no comment. Around town, the common interpretation is that the presi dent is getting ready to grant another general wage increase before elections, and Miss Perkins is submitting figures in advance to justify it. Simultaneously, coming to my desk, is a letter from Elmer Kennedy, of a Colorado Typographical union, object ing to my conclusion that MALLON labor gets its wage advances from business profits, and, therefore, is wrong in advocating increasing business taxation which will limit its opportunity for future wage advances. He says (and all labor looks at it this way, through the wrong end of the spyglass) wages paid by business are considered expense, the same as taxes, cost of materials, etc., and profits are what is left after the expenses are paid. Behind these two events lies the whole story of the unwise, if not suicidal course of current labor and political leadership on wages, taxes and profits. I think this can be demonstrated plainly and simply so all who lend an attentive eye and half a thought can see it. Every time a price goes up, all wages auto matically decline to the same extent. Every cent more you pay for eggs, bread, fresh vege tables, fruit, etc., is a cent reduction in your pay. But does Miss Perkins, the labor secretary SIDE GLANCES COP. IW tY Nl T M U t fT P..

Americans have helped just about everybody else; no one has helped them in this fashion, because they haven't needed it. Which proves, for one thing, the funda mental strength of the United States in its economic and political systems, its natural wealth, and the ingenuity and character of its people. The United States has never been on relief. Kids Shooting Again KLAMATH kids are shooting again. There have been many incidents around here, especially in the suburban districts, of the kind reported to police yesterday by a woman who was missed by inches by a bullet fired at a telephone pole by a couple of youngsters. One time, a youngster took a pot-shot at the cupola of a passing caboose, and winged a train man. Lots of bullets have punctured house walls and frightened the residents. Suburbanites tending their chickens and gardens, or sitting on their front stoops, have been menaced by flying lead. Only this week, Sheriff Lloyd Low himself who annually issues a warning about this very thing got a scare from wild bullets. He was talking to a woman on the Old Fort road about some stray hogs when a bullet whined overhead. When another shot occurred, he jumped in his car and drove up the hill in the direction of the shooting." Behind the hill were two youngsters, target practicing with a .22. They had their target on the brink of the hill, and when they missed it, the bullets flew on over the hill to the spot where the sheriff and woman had been talking about hogs. The boys had no evil intentions, and were duly grateful when the sheriff pointed out their mistake. That's usually the case, but a bullet can do a lot of damage even though innocently fired. Klamath kids are pretty careless with firearms. Briefs from the Pocket File CANNONBALL LOUIE DELINE, the John Day hotel owner who claims he's the fastest gol-darned sawyer in the world, got no answer to his challenge to Klamath sawyers a couple of weeks ago . . . Louie is going good up at Blue Mountain mills, where he turned out 67 640 feet on the double cut band rig there one At-oul ffOO hr.d Coin J) W p.,t two d.: eu.i 91.0O-4O0. 1-8C.

I Northern Pacific iney ao noi nave ine consumers interest pac iia & ci in this basic matter, although they are con sumers. They strive always to get ahead of the game with demands for wage increases, but are always behind it. Indeed, they do worse than that, from their own standpoint. They advocate wage increases which will directly cause price increases, and thus defeat themselves as consumers by their own leadership. How is the worker better off with a 50 per cent wage increase if prices go up 100 per cent, or even 51 per cent? Such a wage increase is really a reduction. Is this unwise, self-defeatist labor leadership due to the fact that the union leaders are. after ail, mainly politicians and, therefore, follow the ways of the politician rather than the true, wise, economic group interest? The official position of the unions on busi ness profits is just as cockeyed to me. Yes, Mr. Kennedy, wages paid truly are expenses and only what is left as profits are subject to taxes (.except social security, etc.). But as these expenses increase, profits decrease or prices rise. There is no other way to pay increases. If labor keeps forcing prices up by constantly increasing wages, it will not only always be behind, but will cause inflation and the de struction of its own recent wage gains. loa .... li common liclfcri Stum-to .00; t lllin-food cow M .S-19.UO, few mini I Infl rowi $1100; common 57 CH.

It destroys incentive capital and invest ment, and thus also a greater opportunity to work at increased wages. Labor, in simple commonsense and self-interest, should advocate a decrease in business taxes (the opposite course to the one it is now pursuing) so there will be a greater availability ol funds for wage increases. The fundamental interests of labor are the same as business. If there are no profits, there can be no wage increases. If prices are allowed to run continuously up, wage increases are false manna. Labor should crusade against prices and work for business profits. I do not wish to overstate my case, but I think, in all commonsense, labor is travelling the worst possible policies for its own best ends. Poti- Irark 224: total U.
