Increases reflecting me nigu
lowadsys, including govern
ment and public education.
I Assessed values in the coun
ty remain at virtually the
level of last year, despite
heavy timber cut. Otherwise,
the rates would have been
itill higher. Property improve
ments have helped to sustain
the county's over-all assessed
values, and the private build
4ne nrocrams now getting
' Underway under post - war EPLEY
stimulus will be an important factor in the
'Valuations of future years. The encouragement
if prlvete action that will develop and sustain
-taxable property values is a matter of vital
public significance.
Real property is carrying a heavy load. This
.is especially true in Oregon, where there has
been stubborn resistance to sales tax move
ments. Perhaps something constructive in the
way of adjustments of tax volume from the
various possible sources will come from the
Current state tax investigation and possible
subsequent legislation.
r, ' Meanwhile, it is noteworthy that in Klam
ath county, as in a number of other areas, tax
rates reflect a sound pay-as-you-go public finan
cing policy. This is in contrast with other per
iods of development when long-term, interest--bearing
obligations were assumed,
t: There is a further encouraging feature in
that our political subdivisions are getting out
f the woods in discharging the obligations as
:umed in those other periods. As we go over
the hump in meeting these old costs, taxes for
'debt service will decline and this condition will
be reflected in current tax rates .
Effective
AS a civic dinner veteran who has heard
many a supercilious transient "tell the
yokels all about it," it takes something good
smd effective in the way of speech-making to
'win our enthusiasm. We got just that in the
address given last night to the Knife and Fork
plub by Dr. Vernon Nash, student of history
and geography and a former Rhodes scholar,
"bis challenging appeal for a competent world
authority had the clear-cut ring of sincerity.
The theme of Dr. Nash's talk was that with
he atomic bomb and all its implications hang
ing over our heads, we had better do something
'soon to insure permanent world peace and the
"only answer is a permanent world order. He
has no faith in the voluntary cooperation of
sovereign powers. He went back repeatedly to
the formation of the American federal govern
Jrnent, and declared that, if that had failed, the '
.continent of North America would today pre
sent the picture of chaos found in Europe,
g Not all will agree with his prediction that
world order of the type he proposed will be
functioning by 1950, but Dr. Nash unquestion
ably convinced a great many people here last
:iiight that it ought to be. Even those who may
disagree were unquestionably stimulated by
"the challenging aspects of his address, and there
"is one suggestion of his that we propose to
rpass on to all readers.
That is: get a good history of the United
: States, and read those chapters dealing with the
: formation and ratification of the American con
i stitution and the years between that event and
i the Revolutionary war.

the infamous Death March from
Marivales to San Fernando, Lu

of this march, Sgt. Palmer was
in the hospital at O'Donnell and
Cabanatuan prisons, unable to
walk for eight months.
Palmer plans to return to
school, complete his college edu

He will never forget his long im

of watery soup and rice, the
cruelty and beatings, the death
of his comrades. But that's all
over now and he is on his way

Monday. Oct. 22. 1945
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Oct, 22 The strike situa
tion has looked worse from the inside
than the way you have been seeing it In dis
couraging headline after headline over accounts
of vital men being pulled out here and there
with great bitterness, mystery and sometimes
violence.
The Truman administration has been work
ing behind its doors the past week trying to
get a wage policy upon which to base solutions,
but has found it hard to do. Labor Secretary
thought wo had one in the oil
after the bricks started falling
upon his head for mat one, he crawled out of
the pile with an aching head, aware, no doubt,
mistake.
you give the men a 15 per cent
then grant them the right to
negotiate or arbitrate for another 15 per cent,
you have not solved much. Another strike for
the remaining 15 per cent could be called at
any time. Furthermore such a temporising sur
render was generally labeled unfair. An em
not win anything, even the right
THEN some show was made by Mr. Truman
of prolonging the war labor board after
blanketing it into the labor department under
Schwellenbach. This was what a pugilist would
hard pass at the empty air, as
anything was concerned. WLB
men had tremendous power and prestige dur
ing the war, but lost it when Mr. Truman gave
top-say to Schwellenbach. It is now beyond
redemption .
Both AFL and industry were opposed to it,
and still are, because it has functioned largely
as a CIO weapon. Through it, the Murray
Hillman crowd had a nice thing going. They
would back up the board when they liked its
decisions, and strike when they did not. Here
again they could not lose.
The latest administration resuscitation was
planned by Mr. Truman and Schwellenbach
with their heads together alone, and Board
Chairman Garrison indicated they would stay
on until January 1. Industry and AFL wanted
to get them out of town immediately. The
resuscitation will get them out of town In a
few weeks.
That was all that amounted to and the ques
tion thus arises whether any new board would
be a paper front for the same old proposition.
Thus the government has been crowded on
all the fronts it erected toward establishing a
workable wage policy to carry the current
interim until labor and management can get
together in the big conference, now set for
November 10. The inside of that conference
would make a column In itself.
It should have been held before any of these
strikes developed, and was scheduled originally
for October, but the labor leaders had to go
off to Europe to save the world first.
Labor-Power Bellows
THEN the arrangers for the conference gave
the great labor-power bellows, John L.
Lewis,' only one delegate and one vote in this
national meeting of industry and labor. Not
only this, they imposed upon him an under
standing reached among themselves that his
solitary delegate could not be on any commit
tees. .. . i ' ' .......
The telephone workers, who tied up all com
munications in the country one day recently
Just to "test their strength," were at first eager
to join the conference, and asked for a place.
Later they said they would not participate.
Naturally then, the questions has arisen as to
how effective the proposed conference can be.
The accumulation of all these inside facts
points directly toward continued difficulties
but difficulties may be better than a bad set
tlement which settles nothing.
The administration seems to me to be play
ing on the assumption that the longer the ques
tion is held open, the better will be the chance
of reaching a stabilizing solution. Certainly no
former settlement, made in the years of the
Roosevelt administration, solved anything.
Those were only surrenders to union leader
ship, made in such a way as to promise another
surrender the next time the leaders wanted to
start another crisis.

by the concessioners in the de
