ij CRANK JENKINS . editor MALCOLM EPLKY Managing Editor ' Mambar, Aaaoclalod Pran Member Audit Bureau - Circulation SET?, Today's Roundup ',.!" By .MALCOLM EPLEY THE democratic party, according to word we have just heard through Pat Ivory, has a candidate for governor of Oregon In the person of Carl Donaugh, former U. is. .district attorney for Oregon. Until Mr. Donough's decis ion, it looked as if the demos mlaht have to let the govern- orship go by . default. We . think it is better for Oregon ; republicans that they have op-, .position. i Republicans in Oregon have been in the saddle for a long time. They have generally hppn doing a eood job. and we believe the key republican EPLEY office-holders will be returned in the general election. But it sharpens party and individual respon sibility to ' have opposition of respectable strength.; ' It lessens the danger of complacency or arrogance. . It is more convenient and less expepsive,.- of course, to win by default; it proves' mettle and . public confidence to win over opposition. . Mahoney And Pierce EARLIER in the week, while the democrats were still without a gubernatorial aspirant, waggish Art Perry in the Medford Mail Tribune ' said .that "fears are felt a certain party patriot wilV 'fly out from ."Washington, D. C, to save the day;". . ' .- . . i What Art was suggesting is that possibly Wiliisv 'Mahoney might step into the breach. We -would guess that Willis was tempted. The ex-Klamath mayor, -who has run for something 'in most -of the elections that ; have been held since he came to Oregon in the early 'thirties, . is reportedly doing quite well in his specialized law business in Washington. But when voting In Oregon approaches, ; and especially when . there is a democratic nomination that can be taken by default, Willis feels an urge to which he usually has yielded. Walter Pierce, was too smart to let such i young blades as Dick Neuberger push him into the governorship situation. Mr. Pierce is 85. A former congressman from- pur own second . district, he moved into western Oregon after his last defeat and has been having a happy I time going aroXind to grange meetings, etc., in the Willamette valley, making typical Pierce speeches and enjoying the warm good will and ii friendly respect of farmers and other folk over there. : ;1 But it was Quite evident to Klamath people, who saw Mr. Pierce here, when he was running 4 for re-election against "Lowell Stockman in k 1940, that his age was' becoming a serious ; handicap to him as an office-holder and a campaigner. The old gentleman has been hav . ing a grand time in his recent activities in the valley area, all of it with a lack of pres sure which we would guess has helped pro long his life. . ''. Invitation To Thievery , QTEALING cars was both simple and routine '; O to a couple of escapees from the Oregon boys' training school who were picked up here by local authorities and returned to the Wood burn institution. They related- a'!story of moving from town to town in Oregon. and Washington, picking up different car at each stop as easily as if an ' advance agent were making transportation ar rangements for them. Undoubtedly,, most of these cars had been left standing with doors unlocked and with . the keys conveniently inserted in the ignition i switch. So many- car owners do that that the - man bent . on car thievery has no reason to waste ,his time, trying to break into a locked car or tamper, with the wires in an ignition , switch. It's so much simpler to take the car o the gent who has invited thievery by leaving l everything in order for the thief. 5 From time to .time, there have been public '-. campaigns, through the ' insurance companies, I the Junior chamber of commerce, and other r agencies, to make drivers key-conscious when f they ' leave their -cars. But the account given by the youthful escapees indicates that people l are getting pretty lax on this matter. News Behind The News By' PAUL MALLON CHARLESTON, Si C, March 71 have con cluded a five weeks trip" touching closely half a dozen southeastern cities in which I talked with 300 business people and found everywhere the same story, to wit: .. . Business affairs are in a low, .confusing maize, or as most men described them "a hell of a mess," (using the ' term not as an expletive but in its most accurate" sense.) . Unanimously, these people blamed their troubles on government interferences. The rules and regulations of OPA and other govern ment agencies, they said were the primary cause, and strikes and labor unrest, including slowdowns and disinclination of workers to produce, were secondary elements. But they attributed the labor condition to government mismanagement as well as the regulations, so they traced all their economic ills to the single source government. " 1 They seemed almost unanimous also in what they want done. Merchant, lawyer, builder, banker, broker and all the rest want the government to get out of the regulation business entirely, take the lid off, remove OPA restric tions, price controls, priorities, and let the forces in our economic system find their own free way. .- Nation Needs Production A REASONABLE argument for this course was presented. ' What the nation needs is production, they said. This, we are not get ting. They tell stories of how price ceilings are holding back both the manufacture and circulation of goods and absolutely true tales of black markets earning fabulous figures be yond taxation in every city, town and at every cross roads. A representative number of these I have told in previous columns on my journeys. If the lid is removed we will get production swiftly they say. A flurry of prices upward . could be expected but this would gradually ease down, they contend, as competition is re stored by free productive activity. Unquestionably a wide popular surge for this course has arisen and soon will be evident in congress where it could be carried into effect despite the wishes and plans of the new Tru man-Bowles management. AH congress wouia be required to do is to kill the war powers acts which will expire June 30 unless renewed. (Some business people wanted the acts killed by an open early vote to allow a few months of continued operations under wartime regu lations as a preparatory period in which ad justments could be planned; and others said that if congress does temporarily renew the war powers of the president an early,, expiration date should be fixed, say, perhaps in the fall for dropping the whole scheme.) This I judge is practically the desire of the country, in complete contradiction of Washing ton plans and opinions. I must confess I could not bring myself wholly tp accept these conclusions. A more reasonable course would seem to me to be to work out a compromise between the govern ment position and the yearnings of business right now. . e Total Action Not Needed GENERALIZED,-1 total action one way or another is not called for, ih my opinion, because the condition is not alike in any two lines. In some industrial phases, where pricH ceilings are restraining production, the ceilings should be lifted to the point necessary to inspire production but'no -further, until competition is restored, and-then. all price regulation should be entirely abandoned. If a great bulk of men's shorts are in storage and wholly absent from the retail trade because the price ceiling makes their sale unprofitable the ceiling should be lifted to the. point necessary to get the goods out. If the lumber price in communities is so low, that the black markets in the big cities absorb the supply, the OPA should break the local price or the black market, or both, and meet the situation. In short, each situation needs just adjustment immediately 'and this could be done by administrative action now. (For another not unrelated example, there, I absolutely no reason why newsprint production in this country should be allowed to decline, as it is declining in the face of desperate need and increased Canadian production.) If Messrs. Truman and Bowles pitch into this maize or mess ancL straighten it out, removing the destructive nature of the controls, the ob jections to them would diminish and competi tion could be restored. We could get production and distribution that way also. If they do not, they are running a chance of losing their wnoje management of economic affairs. SIDE GLANCES I,T y.

Jobless Pay Shows Boost SALEM, March 7 (JP) Unem ployment compensation benefits in Oregon in the first two months of 1946 totaled $6,024, 810. more than the total for anv preceding 12 months period, the state unemployment compensa- tiuu uumiiubsion saia xoaay. . The largest year's total had been $5,916,399 paid in 1938. February benefits totaled $2, 408,329. a eain of 29.4 Der cent over January, About 60 per cent of the bene fits are going to the Portland area, compared with 75 per cent immediately after the war ended. BERN, March 7 This snug little Switzerland, whose terri tory for the most part stands on edge and towers into the clouds in the form of the Alps, is one of the few coun tries of Europe having eco nomic and fi nancial stabil ity In these hard postwar days. .. . That's an amazing cir cumstance, be cause Switzer land Is in the center of the continental chaos produced by the Hitlerlan conflict. Of course, .this elves rise to the remark that the coun try's relative prosperity is the reward of neutrality, but while there's some truth in that obser vation it doesn t afford a full ex planation. The war was a long way from being a period ol sun shine and flowers for -the Swiss, and maintenance of economic stability in the midst of the pres ent disorganization is like, jug gling on a tightrope. ' Neutrality has helped, but I think we find the roots of suc cess running deeper than that Thrift, honesty, a high moral code and national unity are what have kept the Swiss on their feet. No Black Market A good illustration of this Is seen in the fact that there has been virtually no black market. The Swiss don't hold with mak ing profit out of the distress of their fellows. They believe rath er in a joint effort and mutual as sistance, as witness the coopera tion between capital and labor. and the active participation of the whole country in making the rationing system work. bo things are looking bright in this land where there are few rich and few really poor, but where yodeling on a mountain peak: before breakfast is the pre rogative of all classes. This well-being is a sort of Alice in Wonderland affair. Switzerland is comparatively wealthy and yet about its only natural re source is waterpower. - The country is mainly depend- Relief At Last For Your Cough Oreomnldon relieves promptly be cause it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, In named bronchial mucoua mem branes.

CREOMULSION forCouehi, Chest Colds, Branchitii cnt on Imports, Including part of its loon. Economic Hat Trick The hard-working Swiss do the economic hat trick by the simple expedient of importing raw may- terluls, fabricating them and ex porting enough of the finished products to maintain favorable trade balances abroad under nor mal circumstances. Many of their exports are precision in struments like watches, for which they vo long been famous. Nature took most of the farm lands to build her mountains, but still the natives yodel nnd work all the avallablo K round. Dairying Is the main agricultural pursuit. Wine is a valuable product. . Insurance business of all kinds Is highly developed. So Is bank ing, for Switzerland has money. Being thus blessed, she Is grant ing credits abroad despite the fact that some experts arc pessi mistic about the political and economic situations In surround ing countries. The Swiss bankers favor this because it gives them a chance to put their cash to work. Alps Blggcit Allat ' However, the biggest single as set rests in those Alps. Switzer land long has been the winter playground of Europe, and It has equal attractions for summer va cationists. Before the war tour ists gladly contributed $100,000, 000 annually to the country's coffers, and the Swiss now arc making big plans not only to re claim but to increase this lucra tive business. A lot-of Uncle Sam's soldiers In this part of the world have had an opportunity to visit Swit zerland. About 200,000 already have had a look at somo of the globe's most magnificent scen ery, and more than a few have engaged in winter sports.
