Marabar, AaaoclaUd Fran Member Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY KLAMATH'S city-county Jail idea has had its ups and downs, but it is still alive. Conversations arc continuing between officials of the city and the county court. The current proposition under consider HiiP has the most pressing need for j new jail facilities, proceed first t ...... . i! . 4-.il ti wim construtuuu vi j units on the Third and Klam ath site, and the county will ; follow later to complete the project . Klamath has opportunity, In the city-county jail plan, to take a constructive step ahead of many other communities, much as it did 20 years ago when it adopted the county unit school prin ciple. A city-county jail not only should prove econ omical through the consolidation of physical faculties, but it should also help to bring closer coordination between law enforcement agencies operating here. Good sense demands that law enforcement activities be brought together as closely as possible, eliminating duplication of effort, coordinating their work, and preventing the confusion which so frequently sends citizens from one place to another trying to find the officer with the "proper jurisdiction." We believe the public-spirited law enforce ment officers of the community will join in such a plan wholeheartedly. A city-county jail maybe a city-county law enforcement building would help to bring it about. a a a a Bend View THE Bend Bulletin praises Senator Marshall Cornett for his continued effort to end, inequities in senatorial representation in Ore gon. The Bend paper sees merit in the new pro posal for a constitutional amendment to add one senator, and the accompanying bill to divide the 17th district in establishing a new and additional senatorial district. Decrying the defeat of the first re-apportionment bill, the oena eauur says uibi a constitutional memoa is apparently the only answer, so far as the rights of the 17th are concerned." Because Klamath has the heavy population In the 17th district, it appears that re-apportionment is really more Important to the northern parte of the district than to this county. For three consecutive terms, the 17th district sena tor has come from Klamath county. In the last election campaign, the agitation for re apportionment appeared to center in the De schutes area, and Senator Cornett's efforts have kept faith with that sentiment. This newspaper has consistently supported re-apportionment as a matter of fairness to the entire district. -...' Multnomah Scare r EVERY time a question of general re-apportionment over the state comes up, upstate senators and representatives get scary over what re-apportionment might do in the way of increasing Multnomah county's representation in the house and senate. It is even said that many Multnomah county people, seeing the fre quently superior legislative talent from the up state areas, aren't anxious to have any more legislators from that county. Well, we think that issue ought to be faced squarely. If Multnomah's apportionment of legislative representation ought to be scaled down, as compared with the rest of the state, why not do it in an orderly, constitutional fashion. Multnomah draws a great deal of economic sustenance from the state as a whole, and we think there is merit in upstate repre sentation that is comparatively strong, on the strict basis of population. If that idea will stand up under public opinion, and we think it will, why not do it in a straightforward way and get rid of an old bugaboo that prevents the elimination of such inequities as exist in the 17th district. News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 13 Mr. Roosevelt's organization for the coming fourth (?) New Deal has developed into a mere shift of name plates on office doors. Not a single fresh figure has been brought in. Only one of the long familiar faces has disap peared the mobile countenance of the banker, Jesse Jones (now reported in the market for a Washington or other newspaper in which to express his ideals and wounded feelings.) The un-announced part of the shakeup has definitely brought the Tammany-schooled ward boss, Edward Joseph Flynn to the president's right hand in place of Harry Hopkins. After the Malta-Yalta-Llvadia confab, Hopkins went back to the hospital and Flynn went to Moscow for more detailed negotiations with the Russians in the name of the president. Flynn was only an assemblyman, sheriff and city chamberlain around New York before Mr. Roosevelt, while governor, appointed him state secretary of state, and eventually raised him to chairman of the democratic national committee for the third term election. Now apparently he is to handle both inter national diplomatic and domestic matters, taking the load which rested too heavily 'on the ailing Hopkins. He will bear it with more of a political and less of a social lift. The change represents the substitution of a consummate politician for a social worker. a a a Less Significant THE announced part of the shifts bear less significant meanings, aside from the strik ing disclosure that Mr. Roosevelt has not wanted any fresh blood or new ideas in his fourth ad ministration. Otherwise the changes suggest only that labor and the lcftwlng have improved their position at the inner council table. Fred Vinson, in the place of Jesse Jones, is a man who knows Washington ropes, and he will pull them adeptly. The $40,000,000,000 mortgage empire built up by Jones will be quietly ad ministered. Economic stabilization will be in the hands of a patent attorney who has made a career of coordination and labor conciliation, William 11. Davis. The union chiefs were glad to get rid of Vinson. In RFC he cannot block their wage increase plans. They think Davis will follow the same conciliatory labor course as stabilizer he followed in the war labor board. As a matter of fact, he will do whatever Mr. Roosevelt wants. He will up, down or hold as orders come from the White House, for he is essentially a Roosevelt man. He has lately acquired 3ome political finesse, is regarded in the inner circle as "brilliant," and is ambitious. His name will become better known. In his old place at the head of the war labor board, Dr. George W.-Taylor, a young college professor, (labor, economics, etc.) will follow' the- established Davis-Roosevelt line. He gen erally voted with Davis, who invariably fol lowed the president's purposes. All these moves were recommended to the president by the generalissimo of domestic af fairs, James F. Byrnes. He got Speaker. Ray burn, Vice President Truman and the other inner circumlocutionists together on them, which means his prestige and wishes Will be higher from these appointments. Indeed, it has not been announced, but Byrnes has received carte blanche on domestic affairs from the president. a a a a Nothing New Looms FROM these changes I would expect more politics and labor in coming decisions, and nothing much new. Definitely I think it means no job will be done on reconversion to peace comparable to the initial war production job in which new business leadership was brought in wholesale. .. Everything is to be in the hands of the old timers, the tried Roosevelt friends who will no doubt follow the line they have been favoring. . What the coming of Wallace to the stripped commerce department will mean, few will guess until they can see what he does with it. He is supposed to be angling to get control of the federal trade commission (now conducting in vestigations of bigness in business), and the federal power commission (which Ickes is not likely to release without a struggle.) However, the rumors that he also wants the OPA, WPB and a few other top bureaus, seem to have been concocted by his spoofers who thus have already started kidding his efforts to build up the commerce department into some thing leftishly powerful. In his first move he appointed people who really know something about small business to investigate that subject, but so many commis sions have been started by the government on small business without results, little enthusiasm attends this sixteenth or seventeenth effort. Yet Wallace will have to acquire something important aside from patents, census, etc., to which his management .now is limited, else this springboard to a 1948 presidential can didacy will sag and break under his weight. Wait on this one to see what develops. Thus are the lines being1 drawn in rather than out for the fourth term, solidifying and tightening the personal Roosevelt controls over everything, with greater emphasis on political considerations and labor, directed by an ex clusive White House clique, new in form but nevertheless familiar.

(To the Editor) Wo read so. much In the paper about service peo ple not being able to find places to live. This Is bad, and if we had on extra room wo would bo glad to let some of them uso It, but I'm sorry to say, we don't have. Now what I'm getting at is this: There are several empty store buildings around town. Why couldn't somo of those bo partitioned off Into bedrooms, and havo a community kitchen so that married couples could bo together? Wouldn't this bo better than bolng apart? There is store building on tho corner of California and Upham that has been vacant for years, and there are a couple on S. (llli, and I supposo that If a person looked, they would find mora of them. Why not put those empty buildings to good use now, when living quarters aro so hard to find? Will somebody .look Into this and see what can bo dono about it? MRS. C. G. FELVER, 225 West Oregon Ave, P. S. If this gets Into print, maybe It will start somebody thinking. Worker Falls 80 Fact To Death From Cliff REDMOND.
