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 . . . That exotic aroma wo ve
noticed in various offices around town recently
has been explained ... It conies from Turkish
and Egyptian cigarettes the local boys are
smoking due to the shortage of good old Amer
ican brands , , . After the first whiff, one can
almost imagine Cleopatra languishing on the
office desk, looking into the eyes of our tired
business man . . . The Finns raid their own
capital, the Romanians turn turtle m the war,
the French claim Paris before it is taken.
Hitler kills his smartest generals, a scared
nazi In Paris tears up a mummified Egyptian
sheep while trying to get out of the line of
gunfire between French and German snipers
anything can happen in Europe.

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

Never on Relief
THE list of national agencies with projects
worthy enough to be included in the war
chest includes a number which will give needed
help to the people of distant countries Lithu
ania, Greece, Poland, China, Holland, etc. That protest? Do labor leaders fight the increasing I at Tr.cior
list is indicative of the generosity of the of prices? cS5.T.,Si
American people.
We are proud of that generosity, and we are oalr lnirsnec
it fn fun e,,h.rin .i u . ... ijeeK increases
Looking over the list, it occurred to us that
at no time in our experience do we remember
any foreign group or country sending help to
the United States in time of flood, famine or
other disaster. 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.

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.

Reduces Drawing Pot
BY increasing taxes on business, it likewise
reduces the pot from which it draws its in
come. 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.
