KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1949 TRAIN K JKNKLNI Kdltor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM fcPLEY KLAMATH FALLS U rated at the top of th Oregon non-metropolitan hup lor family buy ing power In a 1948 survey made by Sales Manage- merit, long an authoritative source tor estimate of thlt type. Only Portland, with 8570, ex ceeded Klamath'i family buying power of 8M24. The average for the atate U 8395S. The figure are from a copy righted table printed by the Ore Ron Business Review, and Klam ath people will be Interested In comparisons with other Oregon cities, Klamath for many years has rated out front In per capita Income, buying power and similar autistic, and the following table Is right In line with that tradition: Portland . Klamath rails Eugene , Medford Baker La Grande . The Dalle . Astoria Coos Bay Corrallls Salem Klamath county also stacks up well In Sales Msn agement's survey. Little Gilliam leads the state with $6061, Multnomah Is second with 15498, and Klamath third with $4918. FROM the same source, some interesting population estimate are obtainable. Klamath county's pop ulation for January 1, 1944, is estimated at 47.200. as compared with the official 1940 census figure of 40.494. The figures Indicate that Jackson, Douglas, Josephine, Lane, and many other counties art out a tripping Klamath in population growth, but not In family buying power. Even so, the figure of 47.200 Is much more favorable and 'surely more accurate than recent estimates in the Oregon Business Review Itself, which have obviously underestimated Klamath county's population at something around 41.000. Sales Management estimate the population of Klamath Falls as 30.200. (It was 16.497 In 1940.) Some figure for other cities: Portland, 420200: Salem, 63.8O0: Eugene. 36.000: Astoria. 19.000: Roseburg, 18.400; Medford, 17J00; Bend. 13300; Grants Pass. 10JO0. Lake county's population Is given as 7500. as compared with 6393 in 1940. Only the federal census to be mad for 1950 will determine the true population figures for these cities. In the meantime, the question is always good for an argument. It is Interesting that Sales Man agement keeps Klamath Falls In fourth place among Oregon clues, the same position it occupied In 1940 and 1930.

A competition Is being restored to world trade, the British find that they have priced their exports In dollars beyond the willingness of cus tomers to buy. particularly as the customers can get goods of the same or better quality at cheaper prices. E. T. Weir, chairman of the National Steel cor poration. Just returning from a visit to England, reports: ' "Since high-priced English goods can not compete In the export market, the labor-socialist plan la not to make the goods genuinely competitive, but to eliminate the competition. For this they have two devices. The first is bilateral agreements between England and other countries which will exclude competitors. 8uch agreements will be largely at the expense of the United States. The second device Is the now-famlllar one of loans or gifts from the United States, the proceeds of which can be used In part to absorb any loss-selling necessary to achieve the export of English goods. This, of course, will be entirely at the expense of the United States. "Any further grants from the United States to England will have the same effect as those already made. They still almply serve to sustain artificially for a while longer a situation which Is Intrinsically wrong and a drag on the economy of the entire western world. After the war. w gave England S3.7SO.OOO.OOO In a lumo Which was pvnerteH to fl. nance the country over Its reconstruction period. ' The labor-socialist government used up this entire , amount In a little over one year's time. Then the j so-called Marshall plan arrived. Ita purpose w as to give England and other European countries sufficient I financial aid to take car of them and offset their shortages of dollars through 1953 by which time they were expected to achieve a self-supporting basis. England has been the principal beneficiary of this plan. Despite this tremendous outpouring of United States wealth plus Income from exports and other sources plus huge and mounting taxation of her own people. England. In the 15 months of the Marshall plan, has depleted her gold and dollar re serves by more than 35 per cent. And the United States is being asked to make up this deficiency." . Mixed Economy ENGLAND'S real difficulty is that her leaders are attempting to operate partial socialism without imposing the political limitations upon the Individual which Russia has proved Is essential for socialism In any form. In a word, a mixed economy does not American subsidies, and socialism In any form or degree will not work without slavery. Mr. Weir also make this comment: ... In 1948, cash disbursements to Oreat Britain against grants and credits from the United States amounted to $1,110,000,000, or 34 per cent of total foreign aid. Oreat Britain spends on her elaborate welfare program approximately 900.000.000 pounds per year, which Is more than three times the amount of aid received from the United States In 1948. When it is considered that these welfare expendi tures equals 25 per cent of the British government's total expenditures. It Is obvious that In this item alone there must be room for reduction that would permit Britain to lessen substantially the weight of her burden on the United States.' Subsidising Attacks THE question naturally arise: How much longer can the United 8iates go on giving to Great Britain and what will happen to that country If we should stop aiding her? The obvious answer Is too tragic Britain's only answer Is to reduce buying in the United States and to ask her dominions to re due their purchase here. That has the same effect as erecting a tariff wall against the United States. And at that point, what become of the reciprocal trade agreements? If Great Britain can knock down the reciprocal trade agreementa at will, why should the United States continue them? In a word. British socialism attacks the United States economically while almost demanding that we subsidise the attacks. Does it make sense? cabinet In his living room.

That's to develop a race with some built-in common sense. Who really wants a fountain pen that will write letters, brush his teeth, lake his passport photo and for 50 cent extra has three knife blades and bottle opener at one end? About 75 per cent of all the Iron ore mined In America is taken from open pits. JL'LY tl Kf JI 124ft ke.

Written for NKA Kervlre Practically everyone Is born with some kind of malformation of the skin or mucous membranre which Is cslled a birthmark. These are usually so small, covered with hair, or placed in such sn Inconspicuous psrt of the body that they do not cause any concern. Occasionally large ones appesr on the face or some other conspicuous part of the body where they interfere seriously with sppearsnce. There are a great many super stitions about birthmarks. Some people think they arise because of sn unfortunate Incident occurring to the mother during pregnancy. Thus It Is ssld thst when a baby is born with a strawberry mark the mother can Invariably remember having an uncontrollable desire for strawberries. At other times birth marks are attributed to a fright of the mother. There Is, however, no scientific basis whatever for such beliefs. Proper Treatment There are a good many different kinds of birthmarks. Many of them are moles, which may be -fist or elevated and dark or almost skin color. Brown ones are called pig mented moles. Some are hairy. The proper treatment for a birth mark depends on the location, the sire, and the particular variety of the defect. Many molea can be removed by local treatment. Includ ing surgery, various types of electric csutery, freezing with carbon diox ide snow, X-rays or radium and certain chemical agents. It Is' not always possible to re move or fade birthmarks success fully even when they are on con spicuous parts of the body, like the bt an act r is like you, Si$, an awful lot of work!"

Each table adds to more than 100 per cent because some voters named more than one problem. The survey results correspond roughly with the actual unemploy ment situation as Judged by the percentage of persons covered by unemployment Insurance who are collecting benefits. As of the week of May 1. according to data sup Piled by the Social Security Admin istration, the proportion of people collecting benefits was greatest In tr 1 New England section, high on the Pacific coast, especially In Cal ifornia, and lowest In the West Cen t al farm section. Economists point out. however, thst the totsl picture of employ ment In the United States Is still excellent. As of early June the monthly report of the labor force. Issued by the Bureau of the Cen sus, showed 3.778.000 unemnlnverf and 59.619.000 employed In the ci vilian labor force. fsce. Expert advice must be ob tained.
