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.

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

hard postwar
days. ..
. That's an
amazing cir
cumstance, be
cause Switzer

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.

in this land where there are few
rich and few really poor, but
where yodeling on a mountain

Economic Hat Trick
The hard-working Swiss do the
economic hat trick by the simple
expedient of importing raw may-

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.

fact that some experts arc pessi

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

For four yean 3em Turner ran
his harness shop alone. But now hi

Right away, it seems that nephew
Delbert has some new ideas. He
j wants more money, shorter hours
i and meanwhile en expenses have
been going up
So what does Jess do? He invites
Delbert to sit down over a friendly
glass of beer and talk the situation
over. Jess figures how he can give
Delbert. some extra dollars, and
certain interests in the business;
: and. Delbert figures how he can
speed up production on harnesses
and do some saddle work, besides..
And they seal the bargain with an
other friendly glass of beer.
Of coarse, all labor troubles!
aren't so simple. But from where I
sit, if there could be more friendly
disenssion more give and take
more tolerance and understanding
both aides would be a heap bet
