Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
EDITORIAL staffers at The Herald
and News arc now mull ins over
the local and regional news develop
ments of the past year, preparing the
"big ten" list and the ltem-by-item ac
counts which tradi
tionally appear in the
paper at the end of
the year.
Because of the re
stricted space in Jun
ior, the day-by-day
itemization will not
b e s o complete a s
usual, but it will con
tain all the major
events of the year.
This list will be
found in the paper
tomorrow.
Going over the year's news picture,
it is Quite clear, of course, thnt the
Tnlelake homestead opening will rate
as one of the top stories. There have
been other Tule homestead openings,
but none has received the public in
terest or the national publicity which
this one received. This was due to the
proved value of the land after years of
farming down there, the large number
of applications, and the fact that this
was the first land opening for World
War II veterans.
And maybe our current flare in the
Klamath country for doing tilings in
a big way had something to do with it.
A reclamation bureau official on a visit
here remarked on that to us, stating
that in some other places he knows,
an event of similar significance might
easily have passed off as routine with
little public attention outside the im
mediate area.
MARKER NEEDED
SPEAKING of Tule lake, it occurs to
us that this interesting section de
serves the attention of the state high
way department's historical marking
experts.
The highway commission has recent
ly authorized a historical marker for
some spot along Highway 97 calling
attention to Upper Klamath lake, and
the text of the marker is now being
prepared.
A similar marker should be placed
on Highway 39 near the Malin-Tule--
lake junction. It should be as near as
possible to the water line of old Tule
lake, affording opportunity to call pub
lic attention to the fact that the now
rich farm area lying before the trav
eler was once under from 25 to 35 feet
of water. The history of Tule lake, its
development and economic importance,
would provide ample material for in
formative text.
SERIES
IF we can get an official state marker
for Tule lake, it will be one of a
series soon to be set up on highways
in the Klamath country, taking care
of a long-neglected need for properly
informing travelers o f significant
places in our area.
The highway commission will install
several signs in this area marking the
old South Road, inspiration of the 1946
historical pageant and celebration here
this year. It will properly mark Upper
Klamath lake.
Let's have Tule lake added to the
list.
DELAYED ELECTION
DELAY in the installation of park
ing meters apparently has fore
stalled the possibility of a special city
election in the first half of 1947.
Under the parking meter program,
the gadgets are to remain in operation
for six months, after which an election
will be held for a popular decision as
to whether they shall remain or be
thrown out.
It had been planned to conduct this
election some time before the end of
the present fiscal year, June 30, 1947,
ao that certain levy measures might be
put up to vote.. The idea was to have
the levy decisions made prior to the
beginning of the next fiscal year, so
. the levies, if approved, could be as
sessed in time to bring in money in
the 1947-48 fiscal year.
But if we are to have a parking
meter trial for six months, the trial
period will now carry over into the
next fiscal year, delaying the election
too long for a vote also on special
1947-48 levies.
A levy measure which had been con-
aidered for the ballot at the parking
meter election was Intended to finance
construction of a swimming pool and
recreation center. Unless some other
plans are developed, it looks as f the
swimming pool program may be held

Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Doc. 30 A teach
er makes on an average about
$1900 a year in the elementary and
high schools. A common laborer makes
$2400 without overtime in the build
ing trades INcw York high) to $1250
(San Antonio low.) Of course the un
skilled ditchdigger earns more than
these figures suggest because of his
overtime pny. So a teacher earns less
than a ditchdigger and far less than a
bricklayer who learns his skilled trade
in a few months while a teacher should
complete 18 years of schooling. The
average income of a bricklayer ranges
from $4500 CNew York high) to $3250
(Charlotte low), without computing the
overtime or other pay privileges com
mon to the trade.
The Roosevelt revolution accomp
lished the disparagement of the teach
ing profession, removed the respect for
learning and let the pay for It de
preciate while the advantages for the
untutored were raised.
So men and women are leaving the
nation's teaching desks. Some 00,000
teachers' jobs have not been filled this
year. At least 350,000 have switched
to other employment lor uiclr liveli
hoods since 1939. Some may have gone
into industry and married, but many
properly read the signs of the times
and have gone into government em
ployment. In one single division of
government, a bureoucratic agency,
more than half of the employes above
the rank of stenographer arc today e"x
teachers. More than a third of this
number are young men in early 30s,
doing advanced clerical work, who
draw down government salaries from
$4000 to $6000 a year, an income they
could hope to obtain by teaching only
after 30 years of service in most small
colleges.

PROFESSION DEPOPULATED
THERE you are. Here is the prob-
I lcm. undeniably present in sta
tistics which are verifiable. The prob
lem is even worse than the figures dis
close. More children are coming to
school age every year. Today we have
19 million kids in elementary schools.
Due to wartime birthrate increases,
the number will jump each year until
it hits an expected peak of 23,200,000
in 1954. So we need more teachers but
will have fewer.
Not only is the profession being de
populated, but about 40 per cent fewer
persons are entering teachers schools
than in normal times. Fewer teachers
can be developed.
Similarly the men and women re
maining at teachers' desks are neces
sarily growing less and less competent
on the whole. One out of every nine
teachers today holds only an "emerg
ency certificate" which means he is
not qualified according to the stand
ards of his own state. Among these
one out of nine are some teachers who
have not even been to high school
and a few of these are actually teach
ing high school classes, believe it.
To get more money, a varied teach
ers revolution has been staged in vari
ous forms. At Norwalk the teachers
remained home until thev could get
better contracts and finally the city
politicians agreed. In California they
propagandized changes in the state
constitution. In a Michigan referendum
they forced Increase of state funds for
education. A 50 per cent increase was
obtained In Georgia. In St. Paul they
walked out In their largest and longest
strike involving 1160 teachers and 30,
000 pupils, through an artisans union
of the AFL whose professional nego
tiator apparently acted for them
ironically, (the walk-out still being in
effect). In a Minneapolis teachers un
ion, concessions were wrung by AFL
negotiators. But many people do not
like this absorption of a profession by
artisans, and people in New York
City, where certain teachers unions
are actually dominated by communists,
have refused to send their children to
public school, preferring private
schools as long as they can afford it.
RIM OF DISASTER
IN general, the-teachers have taken
this short way out. If the loose
running arbitrary controls of unions
are leveled down by national legisla
tion to necessities in the public inter
est, no doubt the teachers will be sorry
they joined the handworking unions
instead of forming their own separate
organization grounded in the intellect.
Unions have already ceased to goner
ate much public sympathy. And the
move was a mistake anyway, because
teachers' funds must come directly
from taxation and their strikes must
be directed against constituted authori
ties of government. A popular cam
paign to gain their ends might serve
their purposes much better.
However great these mistakes, the
country is now confronted with the
problem of buying education for its

NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (!)
Venezuela's Mnuiiith-nld experi
ment in democracy has survived
the tests of bullets and ballots,
but It still has two big obstiiclcs
to overcome.
The great mnrw of the popula
tion needs education in democ
racy. Many of the iveople seem
to have little conception of what
democracy means und how it
oerulcs.
Also, the "mils" have powerful
friends lit home and abroad,
especially within the army,
where many officers giving lip
service to democracy still uipciir
to believe in the right of Uie
miliary to rule.
Lenders of the Dei-ember 1 1
rebellion were army officers who
aided the October 18, 11145, revo
lution which ousted Gen. lsaias
Mcdiiiu Angiirita and put the
present liberal Junta Into power.
They fought for deinocnicy In
that uprising, but when President
K o m u 1 o Hetancourt's Junta
showed that it intended to edu
cate Venezuelans in self govern
ment looking toward civilian
control, as in the United Stairs,
these same men plotted the over
throw of the Junta and the return
to army rule.
Bad Planning
They failed through bud plan
ning and indecisive execution.
How many of their same belief
still hold high rank in the army
and in the government probably
is giving Iletuncourt some
anxious moments.
In 14 months, however, the
Junta has made progress in IU
closely associated tasks of Im
proving economic conditions and
of educating a people, accus
tomed for centuries to rule by
dictators, to the ways of democ
racy.
Uetancourt s junta at the out
set npped the annual budget from
$173,000,000 to :iuo,ouu,ouu, put
ting emphasis on schools, sanita
tion, roads and housing.
This was no PWA project to
make work for the idle. Tho Idea
was to lay the groundwork for
transforming an oil-wealthy but
otherwise undevcloied Venezu
ela into a modern democracy.
Venezuelans tell you that the
projects havo been run with a
minimum of graft as far as Is
known alttiough Uiey add that
the habits of centuries are hard
to break.
Young Men
The cabinet la "a young man's
government" one cabinet mem
ber is still in his twenties, others
are in their thirties and forties.
The Junta hus loudly pro
claimed its stand for freedom of
thought, press and expression.
El Copci has its dally paper In
Caracas and an announced pro
gram of building up a conserva
tive party to win office by bal
lots, not bullets.
There is a communist daily In
Caracas, and on posts and build
ings throughout the country
vota rojo (vote red) is pro
claimed in red paint. This was
during the recent election of
memlN-rs to a constituent assem
bly which now is drafting a new
constitution. Tho communists
won two seuts.
The Junta's own party, ucclon
democratic!!, won overwhelm
ingly in what Is advertised as
the most democratic election ever
held lu South America.
One grey-haired women told
me: "The Junta was smart. It
gave women the vote, and of
course we voted for It. Women
elected this government."
Shortcomings of the Junta's
execution of policy seem to stem
not from luck of good Intentions
but from Ingrained habits of the
lesser officials und those who
deal with and through Uiu government.

People who are griping about

whereby each subscriber to a

scriber docs is insert the film
in the machine and his paper
appears on the ground-glass

fuss.

White Pelican hotel burned
down in 1927. A lady called in
to inquire about it the other
evening. We couldn't tell her so
gave her Mac Epley s phone
number. A few minutes later
the phone rings, it's Mac want
ing to know when the White
Pelican burned down. We final
ly looked it up, phoned Mac
and told him, he probably
phoned the lady and told her,
and probably someone didn't
believe her for 10 minutes later
the phone rang again. Yep, you
