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.

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.

HOUSING PROBLEM
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (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?
