They were intended to indicate a rather unexpected splurge of local construction that has special significance. . This building proit-m has assumed substantia! propor tions despite extre: 'y high costs of labor and -terials, shortage -of material . winter weather and other difficulties. From ;:' the standpoint of EPLEY strictly local considerations, this is a most in teresting development. It indicates a definite confidence In the future of this community in the face of gloomy talk that has be&n occasion ally heard in the past two or three years ,in some quarters. It illustrates the aggressive spirit of the people here in opening up the de velopment of the community the moment war time holders" were off and In spite of the dif ficulties of the immediate postwar period.- Heartening THE Klamath building is part of a general in crease in light construction activity through out the far west, where the volume in 23 leading cities was 52.1 per cent greater in December, 1945, than in December, 1944. (In this particular city, however, present con struction is many tunes greater than that of a year ago.) All of this Indicates, a conviction among ag gressive people that an upswing in prices as well as general business activity lies ahead, and will probably continue over an indefinite period. Those who have been making plans have a present choice of waiting for costs to level off or decline, or getting busy now, even at current high costs, in order to capitalize on the business opportunities of the immediate future. A lot of people have made the latter choice and their display of courage is one of the heartening things in a rather gloomy picture of national spirit at the moment. There are still some doers, and they are doing things. Briefs From The Pocket File THE loudest boos heard in a long time in the theatres are greeting the blurbs for army re-enlistment . . .

C, Jan. 25 The con founding results of Mr. Truman's submis sion of his domestic economic program to con gress are plainly evident no deeper than the newspaper headlines. His plans to thwart in flation were greeted with an immediate rising of the stock market In expectation of inflation. News headlines on his message generally said: "Truman calls for action to prevent inflation." The New York Times', account of stock price increases of the following day was headed: "Inflation Outlook Advances Stocks." The mart men simply did not believe the program would stop rising prices and neither do I. How could anyone? If auto wages are to be hiked 18.5 per cent and the cost of steel increased by $4 a ton as originally proposed, or more,, how can the selling price of cars be kept from increasing? Steel is the basic in gredient of autos and labor the main cost factor of their manufacture. . Prices Sneak Up KNOWING souls In congress .wink their eye and say prices will sneak up as a result of the Truman measures now on the fire, re gardless of OPA or high water. If wages and basic materials In general go up, can prices be far behind? War experience developed many ways in which price increases could be ac complished indirectly if not directly reduc tion of quality, creation of new products which cannot be price-catalogued, and niany others. Yet it seems no one objects to what Truman says, only to what Truman does. His recita tion of his purposes drew, no criticism from congress and little elsewhere. The country evi dently wants the basic idea of a high wage price economy with full employment, will pay high taxes and is opposed to further inflation. So does congress. No one wants deflation. But the things Mr.; Truman proposes to do are simply not generally in accord with his purposes. . a' Strain On Intelligence TO think that costs can be increased without a price increase is riot the only strain upon average intelligence. Air. Truman wants con gress to pass immediately the CIO full em ployment bill, pledging the government to great expenditures, and is already increasing prac tically every appropriation for peace activities of the government, even planning a big wing on the White House, and proposing increases of salaries of congress at a time when we are threatened with inflation. Normal reasoning would call for the opposite tactics of govern ment economy in a battle against inflation. Again, a main problem of the fight against inflation is to get our men back to work, but his budget calls for $16,000,000,000 for national defense (a new kind of spending, the economic effects of which are not clear, as much of the money may wind up in foreign lands). Although he says veterans are lounging before going to work (war workers also?) he demands that con gress increase the unemployment compensation allowance, and extend the number of weeks men may get it, thus counteracting his quick re-employment purpose. Getting Higher Wage THE president wants congress to increase the minimum wage (for unskilled labor largely) but this labor is already generally getting a higher wage than the 'proposed figure. Yet, by whatever degree it increases minimum wages in some industries it will serve the cause of infla tion. His recommendation for continuance of OPA controls Is about the only one which jibes with his anti-inflationary purposes, but he is simul taneously digging a hole in that ceiling for steel, and is proposing to pay higher govern ment subsidies on foods In an effort to conceal a price increase by having the government pay for it. He is paying subsidies to packers to hold down meat prices, but the workers are striking for wage increases which must increase prices or subsidies. Thus his actions run counter to his theory in basic fundamentals. He has the right program, but is defeating it himself in many ways. The above 'reasoning represents not only what I think, but what congress believes, as well as the stock market. This explains the incongruities of the White House-congress stale-' mate which was not broken by the president's earnest message. SIDE GLANCES I cent iw nm sravici. we. T, n are. .

FUTURE HERE LOOKS BRIGHT (Medford Mail Tribune) When the bent and bewhisk ered Old Man of 1945 gave way to the dimpled, diapered young man known as 1946, an era of unprecedented development was ushered into Jackson county. Yes, this should be a banner year for the Rogue River val ley. The green light will be given tourist travel and south ern Oregon's vacatlonland should reap its full share of the crop of pleasure - seekers through the combined promo tional program of the state highway commission and the chambers of commerce of this city and Ashland. Literally hundreds of new homes are either under con struction or In prospect an encouraging fact in this area faced with a critical housing problem. Business buildings, in cluding Sear: Roebuck, J. C. Penney and Ford, will con tribute hundreds of thousands of dollars in new investments and payrolls. Jackson county's $750,000 road and bridge build ing program will get underway as soon as materials and equip ment are available in sufficient quantities; the city of Medford's projected park, sewer system, bridge and road building pro gram will add to the growing total. Like Rip Van "Winkle, the lit tle city of Central Point Is awakening to a new era of pros perity. This community has emerged as an industrial center with lumber mills and wood processing plants expanding and such companies as Diamond Match and Du Pont eyeing it as possible locations for future de velopment. New homes are ris ing and the last Central .Point city-owned lot has been sold. With the largest stand of tim ber in the U. S. at Juckson county's back door, with more irrigation water on Rogue River valley's unused farm land an ticipated, with Increased flow of tourist dollars in prospect, the future here appears brighter than ever before; As a financial backlog to fu ture development, Jackson county citizens have the best part of $11,363,088 in "E" bonds purchased during w a r time drives. There remains a sizeable share of nearly $28 million bought in all types of war bonds plus accumulated savings in other Investments, bank accounts and safety de posit boxes. H.G. THE CLUB BUY, ORE.
