Asaoclatad Prass Member Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY NOW comes the season of straw polls on political trends in advance of the Novem ber election. ' Wearily, we anticipate these periodical reports of how things are rupposea to be going, and the sliig-fests between political leaders which inevitably follow. They have already started. Gallup or somebody has been claiming a considerable show ing in sentiment for Governor Dewey in the Middle West, New York and Pennsylvania. This has maddened the demo c r a ti c national committee, which lambasts the "crystal ball nrosnosticator" in its weekly clip sheet. . Republicans, likewise, will no doubt assail any polls or surveys that show Roosevelt strength. We would like to conduct a little poll among our Herald and News readers to find out how many of them would let themselves be influ enced by the results of pre-election straw polls. Political leaders, who get so excited about these polls, must believe that a large part of the American people vote for the man they believe Mill win, and for that reason only. That isn't speaking very highly of American citizenship. As for this writer, he will do his betting, if any, on the man he thinks will win, but he will do his voting for the man he thinks ought to win. He has a hunch that is the idea held by most people. a a Opinion of the Town THIS column, which is naturally concerned with the good name of Klamath Falls, has noted repeatedly recently how the actions of a single person, or just a few people, form the basis of individual opinion of a community. If a visitor or a newcomer encounters hos pitable, friendly people, he decides Klamath Falls is swell. If he has the misfortune of run ning into a few of the other kind every town has all kinds he decides its a heck of a place. We happen to sit in a spot where some of these new people come with their stories, and we have been amazed at the contrasting opin ions formed by various individuals concerning the community. It is, of course, impossible to hold everybody -in; line and make them do what is right by these visitors and newcomers. But it is well occasionally to point out that a town's good name has certain very practical values; that those who contribute to that good name are contributing to those values, and those who . injure its good name are detracting from them. ' Wild Life Note OUR townsman, Mack Lillard, has decided the wild plum crop isn't very good. Mack took his wife out wild plumming a day or two ago. They were walking through the brush on a hillside west of Upper Klamath lake when Mrs. Lillard suddenly called out in fright. She had come upon a coyote, its rear leg caught in a trap, which leaped at her savagely and bared its fangs. The Lillards gave up plumming for the day, but decided to try it the next afternoon. They were again on a hillside west of town, and they sat down to rest. There was a peculiar buzr near Mrs. Lillard and Mack pulled her quickly to her feet. There it was, a coiled rattler. Mack got a stick and killed it, and they went home, Mack muttering the country has more wild life than wild plums. a The democrats, we Jearn with disappointment, had to give up their scheduled wrestling match at Sunday's picnic. There being no republicans .on hand, it seems the demos didn't want to wrestle with each other. Bi, nasassan mm Ml MALLON Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 Tho sensational, overwhelming (188 to 54) repudiation of all pressure advice by the house upon the post war unemployment relief prob lem, drew scant public atten tion naturally, in view of what is going on in Europe. Only lean, unsearching press reports recounted the rejection not only of the CIO $35 a week idea, but of the senate compromise and Baruch as well, and indeed, the whole whooped-up notion of the necessity of federal relief and this in the face of an im minent election. The house action said flatly: "There is six billion dollars in the state unem ployment insurance funds, and this should be enough to care for the situation if not, the next congress can handle it in January." The feat was made possible because demo cratic house ways and means Chairman Dough ton was angry, very angry. He was angry first at the senate because it had passed the George bill, whereas all taxation legislation should be conceived by his committee. Ho could hardly see anything good in the senate bill, and his attitude permeated the whole house with a desire to put the senate in its place. a a a a Anonymous Votes THIS was all done by teller votes (individually I anonymous) so the action cannot be held against any individual congressman in the elec tion: also congressmen may change their minds without individual identification wnen tne com promise between the Doughton and George bills finally comes from the present conference by the two houses. But with these reservations, the house demo cratic leadership turned its back on its vice presidential candidate, Senator Truman, who promoted the CIO $35 a week bill (it had no word from Mr. Roosevelt who persistently and coyly remained out of the argument despite CIO efforts to get him to speak.) These congressmen are mostly from small towns, the vastly sprinkled middle class com munities of the country. The portion of their northern and Pacific city brethren, who op posed them, number no more than 54 on any vote, which shows why CIO will never be popular politically in this country, or its as sociated communism. The ClO'ers are really only a minority in their own labor union minority. The CIO, of course, failed everywhere with its proposition, in the senate as well as the house, because everyone could see it was just a plain greedy grab. There was never a better simile for its failure than that of the dog that saw a bone as large as he in the water, but upon his own submersion in a leap for it, found it was only his own shadow. For insta'nee, Montana's democratic Senator Murray originally had joined in with Senator George in this conversion matter, proposing a maximum $25 a week unemployment allow ance for the highly paid war workers. They could have got that then. a a a a Labor Attacks Murray BUT organized labor began an attack on Murray, although he had always been a strong labor man. (Incidentally, AFL backed the CIO in this matter, even though not conspicu ously.) The peculiar newspaper PM sharply denounced Murray. So he turned around and joined in the Murray-Kilgore bill, setting up the unemployment rate to 535. This shocked both the country and congress, because it was $10 a week more than would be allowed sold iers. In various other bills the CIO congressmen tried to get away from their original mistake and give the veterans the same or a little more than their own war workers, but no one can remember anything but that $35 original pro posal, which might have established that figure as a national minimum wage, because few work ers who could remain idle two years for that amount, wouia care io work lor less. (The workers will now get about $18 a week maxi mum average in the state unemployment in surance laws for much less than two years.) Even the war workers themselves laughed at the CIO proposition. For me years they generally have been making more money than ever in their lives, and they could not possibly spend it all, because of rationing and the short age of goods. Also they have been buying bonds which now may be cashed at any bank. Yet even the George bill passed by the senate proposes to give them up to $200 each for rail road fare back home in addition to their state compensation of $6,000,000,000 as needed.

WHEAT CHICAGO, Sept. 5 (AP The swift al lied advance through the lowlands jnd trance caused commission house liquida tion today and practically all grin futures dipped to new seasonal lows. There were rallies at times, largely on short-covering, but the market showed little real recovery power. Wheat losses reached more than a cent at times, and rye and barley mora than 2 cents. . , An incorrect rumor that Germany had capitulated was scotched before the mar ket opened, but much uncertainty re mained due to the favorable war news. Additional bearish factors were gnoci corn crop prospects, favorable wneai plowing and seeding weather, and an other reduction In the equalization fee on export of Canadian oats, which are giving the domestic product consider able competition.
