Today's Round -Up
By MALCOLM EPLEY
PRESIDENCY of the state senate which car
ries the added responsibility of acting as
governor under certain circumstances will be
ought at the forthcoming
legislature session by Klam
ath's Senator Marshall Cor
net. Senator Cornett is an
avowed candidate, and indica
tion that he is making head
way is seen in a dispatch from
Salem quoting Senator Doug
las McKay, another who has
been discussed as a possibility
for the post, as declaring him
self definitely for 'enator
Cornett's candidacy.
Senator McKay gave
j s
f
EPLEY
clean-cut denial of
any intention to run for the presidency. Mc-
Kay has just been released from the army,
i where he served as a major. He will run for
i election from Marlon county and if elected will
! count himself with Cornett in the presidency
i contest.
j The other declared candidate for the senate
leadership is Senator William Walsh of Coos
Bay. Senators Cornett and Walsh are now in
the preliminary stages of their campaigns. They
are somewhat handicapped by. the fact that 16
members of the senate must be elected this
year,, making the personnel of the body un
certain .until after this fall's general election.
Senator Cornett was re-elected to the upper
house two years ago for a four-year term,
and will not have to run this year, giving him
more time for his campaign for the presidency.
The Klamath man is among the abler members
of the upper house who can be counted upon
to bring fairness, talent and dignity to this
Important office. We hope he is elected.
Early Filing
INCIDENTALLY, political aspirants hereabouts
are reminded that the law on candidacy fil
ing has been changed and all who expect to
run for nomination in the May primary must
complete their filings not later than March 8.
Heretofore, candidates were given until 45 days
before election to file, but the period has been
lengthened to 75 days.
In past election years, even under the old
law, there were notable stirrings in local poll
tics by this time. For some reason, little along
that line has happened this year, and we are
waiting with Interest for some one to start
the ball rolling. There are a few important
posts open this year, and those who are going
to run will have to be making up their minds
pretty soon.
.,.
The Jaycee Award v
FOR two reasons, special significance is at
tached to the selection of Karl Dehllnger
for the Junior chamber of commerce award to
the young man giving outstanding civic service.
Mr. Dehllnger is a fanner, and his most im
portant service in the last year has been as
head of the county's active grower organiza
tion. Thus his selection represents a recogni
tion of the importance of agriculture in the
community economy and community life.
Mr. .Dehllnger is an ex-service man. It is
highly desirable for community welfare that
the young men coming back into civilian life .
take an active lead in constructive community
affairs. That is exactly what Mr. Dehlinger
has done, and his selection serves to emphasize
the community's welcome to veterans as com
munity: leaders. '
The award winner is member of a prom
inent farming family, and may be expected to
contribute increasingly to , worthy community
activities In" future years. -
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 -All signs from
within point to the food shortage continu
ing another year or more.
The man who came into the Truman cabinet
so clear-mindedly to cure shortages, Agricul
ture Secretary Anderson, has run into the usual
Washington dead end for the ambitious. The
old gang in his department, the administrators
and sub-administrators of the Wallace new deal
ing regime, has passively resisted him. He is
"in bad" with them, as the insiders themselves
put It
And, then, when he came out for a new
program to abandon the parity price concept
and to accept the world price theory in some
respects, the farm folks and their lobbies here
started letting him down.
This is what is behind the rumors occasion
ally printed of late in some of the columns
that he has lost Mr. Truman's confidence and
may retire. Indeed some who have their noses
to the White House pane, suspect the old gang
is grooming a successor, Milton Eisenhower,
brother of the chief of staff. Eisenhower is
more of a new deal politico than the general.
Certainly it is difficult to see how Anderson
can survive. . His novel price theory is con
trary to what he does in his own milk produc
ing business in Albuquerque.
There he sells what milk the market will
take at the highest possible price, and lets his
surplus go for whatever it will bring. The
idea of abandoning the parity notion made
the farm bureau federation right mad. And
the opposing crowd in the farmers union turned
against him when he named Lassiter instead
of Hubgins to farm security.
Became Involved
SIC transit clear-minded new officials. When
he was in congress, Mr. Anderson knew
just what to do. The objectivity of his post
then permitted him clarity of vision. But
when he took the cabinet seat, to face the
clique which ran his department (as cliques
of subordinates dominate the top men of all
these government departments), he immediate
ly became involved, and each week plunged
him into deeper involvement.
Remember how Mr. Truman came in an
nouncing how closely he would work with
congress. Now before his first year is out, he
is involved in such a desperate struggle with
congress, he is asking people to propagandize
against them. The loudest cheer for his recent
message came not from the chastised legislators,
but from Sidney Hillman of CIO. The con
fidence of business which he enjoyed at the
outset slipped perceptibly also with the re
jection of his wage compromise by both steel
and motors.
I have rarely seen this process to fall. The
human personality rarely Is able to surmount
it. Outside of bureaucracy, men may see clear
ly and devise clearcut programs. As soon as
they get in the seats of power, they fall under
the spells of bureaucracy, adulation, and the
politics of the self-perpetuating old gangs or
resisting, become involved in self-thwarting
struggles.
Farmers Afraid Of Abundance
THE secret of Mr. Anderson's troubles, how
ever, I suspect, are the same as the rea
sons why the food shortages will continue
beyond another crop. His conflicts with the
clique and lobbies are, superficial reflections of
a deeper cause, namely: farmers are afraid of
abundance. The farm leaders think they can
easily produce too much for this country,
know they cannot sell much abroad, and hence
by nature resist any abundance theory.
Winter wheat was hurt by weather and much
of the seeding did not come up. Meat produc
tion, already short, Is being permanently dam
aged by the strike, which keeps stock feeding
on the farms at this season and hence is likely
to result in a feed shortage. Poultry supplies
are being drained by the meat shortage. Eggs
may be plentiful for a little while, in the
spring, but not for long. Vegetables fluctuate,
but there should be enough if the weather
is favorable. Yet if Britain spends 25 per cent
of her loan for our short foods, and we try
feeding the world as everyone seems to want,
our meager prospects will be still further en
dangered. It is impossible, therefore, to expect relief
from the food shortage anytime soon.

Steel Question
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore
(To the Editor): In recent times
editors and commentators, not
without cause, have written and
exhorted the citizens to main'
tain respect for our congress and
senate.
But in light of some things we
are witnessing and hearing of
our congress it is causing our
respect to wear threadbare,
stretching rather thin our pa
tience. Labor troubles rampant
threatening to engulf our eco
nomic and social structure, great
combines disdainful ot much ot
anything, or anyone, except divi'
dends.
The countless problems of re
construction, our continual loss
of respect throughout the world.
All these and legions more to
solve; and remedy, and now the
shameless Bibbo threatening to
talk for 60 days fiddling while
Rome burns.
All business In the senate at a
standstill, while he talks of the
fair practices act? No! About
everything from mint juleps to
viewing with alarm, or pointing
with pride, to this, or that, not
relative to the bill before the
senate.
How long will we be expected
to respect such miscarriage of
responsibility?
This past week members of
the house became very perturbed
over , a picture sent broadcast
over' th'e nation showing ap
proximately 175 out of over 400
members of the house in their
seats when congress convened.
Their excuse was that the pic
ture was taken at the time the
chaplain was offering the morn
ing prayer. A good many mem
bers, don't come to their seats
until after the morning prayer.
Could this be indicative of the
laxity apparent in our govern
ing bodies? One commentator put
it this way, "In the name of God,
isn't this a time for prayer?"
We are flooded these days with
the claims of science for a better
world, an easier living world.
electronics, plastics, medicine,
will smooth out paths, lengthen
our days. But with all these, is it
impertinent to observe our smart
men can't even solve the prob
lem of the price and distribution
of butter!
I have heard many observa
tions that our labor disturbances
are the result of the workers
being coddled and exoectinK
something for nothing. But noth
ing much is said of the extensive
lobbies of Big Business that has
had a clause written in their tax
bill that makes it incumbent on
the government to return sub
stantial sums In past war years
should Big Business earnings fall
Deneatn a certain level.
So believe it or not. the mills
of "Big Steel" could stay locked
ail ot 1848 and still make as
much through tax refunds as
they did in 1B40. '
Nice work If you can get it.
Has anyone heard ot a tax re
fund for the workers in 1946,
who will not mnko wages ap
proximating prewar years?
Bis Steel, via the air. professes
great sorrow tor the public. Arc
not the 750,000 workers and
their families quite a segment
of the public? And too, a great
sympathy for the stock holders
who were conveniently forgot
ten, and whose stock went to
zero during the carly 30's, be
cause steel chose to expand, us
ing the great surplus gathered In
lusn times to pyramid Uiclr holdings.
In 16 years lust Drior to 1917
in the Black Towns along the
muddy Mahongahala river where
atcel ruled with an iron hand,
wages rose Is per cent while
living soared 22 per cent. In the
first war Navy Secretary Dan
iels fought unsuccessfully for a
reduction in cost of armor plate,
and steel prices In general, but
the suave Gary intimated that
bteel was as big as the govern
ment (it was in income) and the
government could take it or
leave it. So we paid more for
steel in our Atlantic coast ship
yards than Britain did for U. S.
steel laid down in England.
When the late Charley Schwab
left all that he had to other
lands, most journalists eulogized
with all the superlatives in their
vocabulary, But one, William
Allen White df- Kansas said he
could describe Schwab thorough
ly with a three lettered word
that begun with "H" and ended
with "G."
He, Schwab, as one of the
Carnegie originals. typified
steel's attitude toward the work
ers more than anyone. with the
possible exception of Frick, who
engineered the breaking of col
lective bargaining at the great
Homestead strike in 1892.
Schwab's motto was "if labor
lifts its head, crack it." The writ
er knows a little about condi
tions when rugged individualism
was riding the saddle in those
Black Towns, Homestead, Brad
dock, McKeesport, the 12-hour
shifts. 7-day weeks. 24-hour
shifts every two weeks when day
and night shifts alternated. He
was 16 years old when Carnegie
gave a library to Homestead, he
was on the night shift, all the
night shift was expected to
parade in celebration. But this
writer felt more like going to
bed after 15 hours awav from
home. The real rugged Individ
ual was the one who could stand
up to the grueling hours, low
wages, filth and sordid surround
ings ot the United States Steel
empire of those days.
