SOUTH SIXTH STREET people are celebrating
again. Completion ol the fine lighting system on
a section of that widened thoroughfare is the basis
(or a bit of entertainment ana
fun slated for Friday nlghL
The lights were on last night,
and, observing the double row of
gleams from our hillside resi
dence, we took ourselves out that
way. We found the lights adding
modernistic lustre to a street that
already looks as if it belongs to
the future. Congratulations are in
order, and a lot of people will
want to offer them on the occa
sion of the Friday night party.
EPLEY
Opportunity
WE have delected, among some of our South
Sixth street friends, a slight defensive attitude,
a sort of feeling as if someone has something against
them, or may be trying to frustrate their ambitions.
This may not be true of very many of the folks out
there, but It is something that has shown up a little
now and then.
We suggest to the folks on South Sixth that they
forget 1L They have a grand street and a grand op
portunity, and we have observed nothing of un
friendliness or jealous toward them on the part
of anybody. We can all get along fine together. This
department did a lot of work over many years to
help bring about the outstanding improvement that
has been made on South Sixth, and we know it is
a matter of basin-wide pride.
And that does it for today. We've picked up a few
extra duties under vacation schedule at our office,
and the column, lor today, has to be short. We
anticipate no public complajnt.
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, July. 23 A full-fledged discus
sion of the inflationary possibilities of the
Lewis coal settlement was stopped by a statement
of George Humphrey, the Pittsburgh coal operator,
to the senate economic commission. This kept Rep
resentative Hartley from coming to vocal blows with
his labor bill co-author. Senator Taft, in an economic
free-for-all. In fact, it quieted the whole volatile
matter for the most part.
The Humphrey position was little reported amid
other developments, and not made entirely clear
in some" phases. For instance, he claimed the wage
increase was only tl.20 a day whereas the Lewis
people calculated for the press It would run above
S3 a day. No bones will be broken in arguing about
this, however. Humphrey merely figured what a
losing agreement for him might cost under, the
best possible circumstances, Lewis was figuring for
his miners what he had won, from assumptions
more favorable to his viewpoint.
Two Stories
YOU know you can easily obtain opposing versions
of an automobile accident from several eyewit
nesses. The coal settlement was no accident, of
course. But from the same set of circumstances, Mr,
Humphrey, got one story and Lewis another. This
Involved no dispute about the contract, but has
caused considerable public confusion. Humphrey
figured the take-home pay of a miner from eight
hours work a day would Increase Sl.iO. and it does.
But he did not figure (perhaps could not), although
he plainly mentioned It in his testimony, that the
settlement meant a day less of work a week and
an hour less of work each day. In short, the miner
would make only $1.30 a day more from his work,
but If you figure how much more he makes by
working so much less time, the Lewis figure of
over 13 can be Justified.
From the basic economic standpoint of production
of coal and the cost of same, the Lewis figure thus
mould more accurately reflect what the consumer
will pay.
But what really hindered major discussion was
Humphrey's interpretation of this change as rcc'.'fy
ing an Inequity which had existed in the miner's
wage and working conditions Since the war if meas
ured against union advances. In short, he took' the
position this was not a pattern for a national econo
my but an exceptional case. Amid such conflicting
intangibles, it became almost .impossible for anyone
to reach any definite conclusions.
Liberal Aim
WHERE union leaders are heading their force
and power remains, therefore, a question un
answered here on the inside or outside. Authorities
In the most objective position (and, therefore, best
able to Judge perhaps), are rather certain the next
big liberal movement In this country will be toward
British socialization. The crowd for which Mr. Wal
lace is fronting is actually directed that way. It is
getting started now with demands for government
participation.
For example, there is a demand for expansion of
the steel Industry, and the "Murray-Pepper bloc is
beginning to talk about government building the
steel mills, if Industry will not. Then there Is agi
tation about the absorption of smaller Industries by'
bigger ones, the concentration of industrial bigness.
The senate small business committee says this
is real and threatening, and that when the current
lines fully develop, it will be much easier for the
socialists to' take over. Certainly the movement is
strong within congress to preserve the smaller and
mlddle-sised businesses.' But all this is secondary,
nebulous or minor.
The union leaders have the power, position and
money. Where they are taking themselves, their men
and the national economy, is the Important thing.
No one here seems able to furnish any worthwhile
evidence on this, if the union leaders themselves
know. The economists behind congress, for instance,
are shy even on Judgment in the matter.
It is hard to believe that John Lewis is striving
for nationalisation of the coal mines. He Just got the
miners out of the clutches of the government, which
led him to court and fine.
Yet the logical en of the Lewis program would
force costs so high that when there is a break in the
price of coal, or when co-operation between gas and
oil makes further inroads, the cry for nationalization
will surely swell Into a roar.

SLOT MACHINE QUESTION'
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To the
Editor) In the Oregonian of July 4,
on the front page appeared the
article concerning slot machines in
operation in that city. We should
like to ask the question, cannot
something be done in the city of
Klamath Falls to clean up the evil
which exists here openly, namely the
illegal operation of machines of
chance?
But recently there appeared also
in the Oregonian, articles from As
toria with a directive from the attor
ney general that the slot machines
were to be put away. Then another
article from Corvallis slating that
the sheriff had cleaned them out in
Benton county, still another article
from Baker, Ore., in which fines up
to more than $3000 had been levied
against the operators, including
some lodges. The same matter came
up in Umatilla county and all ma
chines were removed from the places
where they had been in use in that
county.
Why cannot Klamath county be
made free of these illegal, unfair
devices? We should like to ask the
question: Who is to blame for per
mitting them to run here? Is it
the district attorney, the sheriff, the
chief of police, or whom? Why does
not the newspaper give us an edi
torial upon this issue? Certainly it

who operates a small ranch in Poe
valley, was sentenced to serve three
years in the state penitentiary yes
terday when he pleaded guilty in
circuit court to larceny of livestock.
He disposed of a yearling steer
which was a stray from a herd
owned by the Hill Brothers ranch.
Rodgers admitted in court that
he knew the yearling belonged to
Bill and Lou Hill, Merrill cattle
men, when he traded it off to Doc
Daugherty, who later put it up for
sale at a local stock auction yard.
The Hill brothers were present at
the sale and spotted their "Hat"
brand on the steer when it was put
up for sale. They bought it and a
brand inspector and state police
traced the animal back to Rodgers.
The yearling had strayed from a
herd several weeks ago and was
located by Warren Moore of Poe
valley, who notified the Hills that
he had their steer. Before they ar
rived to get the animal, Moore said
that Rodgers had tried to buy it
from him for $25. Later Rodgers
represented the steer as his own
and swapped it to Daugherty for a
cow.
is something that concerns the wel
fare of the citizens of this area- We
believe the whole matter could be

citizen of this area, we should like
to ask, why don't they?

The answer to the Frruch objec

Britain also have hull a stomaclilul

ol allowing Clerumiiy to become in
