Newspaper Page Text. I PACE FOUR - TUESDAY, OCT. II, 1949 WWAM JKMIUAt - BILL JKNKINS ADDISON Hope for the Reader ' By DIB ADDISOM ' CONCENSUS ol thoM who spouted off t a meet- atlng of newspaper people was not entirely flat- teruig to the way newspaper people do the Job. The essence of It wa that titer U room for dolnf a better Job for the customer. So there must be hope! There's no hop for doing a brt- ' i ter job until you first aee th need tor It and then can Imagine ways of doint It. A hard boiled eltv circulation manager, whose Job Is to sell more copies of hi paper than the competitor docs, condemned prises and other tuch pressure srhemes. He advocated putting this promotion money Into the news department to buy better comics, other features and better reporting ulent ... to give a better product to the subscriber. A film, which cost a city paper thousands of dollars, was shown to the group. This f.lm was produced for the pur pose of helping advertisers get better results from ' their adrertuing. at no extra cost. Newspaper ad vertising, gradually, is coming to fly more by the compass and charts of known principles, and less by the seat of iu pants. A professor. Instead of speaking of the high ex- ample found In Oregon of the great Fourth Estate. . said: That Oregon newspapers news coverage 1 ; lazy, uninspired, lacks initiative; that our papers use too much meaningless non-local copy; that our ; papers are written abominably; that Oregon news- papers suffer from malnutrition of the news gland. There must be hope, now, for Improvement. STATS of the basin report from an hour's round of philosophy and what not in the barber shop: Klamath runs its own course and resists the booms, ' busts and other vicissitudes of the country at large, i Examples are that Klamath people still expected to " work and pay rent in the early thirties; they did '' well and paid off debts in the prewar years: there ;' was no boom and you could find a place to live j during the war; prices are lower here now.

The mule j deer refuge out Quart mountain way was estab i lished as a haven for this breeding stock.

(Any cattleman Improves his stock by buying prize bulls), j Item number three: The tough winters with the Ice and snow Improve the quality of the Klamath people. It runs off the cream puff and the squatter 'to more kindly dimes, leaving the rest of us ' staunch, sturdy, upstanding citizens.

Altogether a total of more than (.000.000 adults are employed by -. . . federal, state, local. Including school and other 'district,' and government enter prise and corporation. Among these employe are members of the armed force a well a civilians, and unclassified and temporary employe a well a civil service appointees. All part-time worker are covered by the payroll data. In terms of either number or 'full-time equivalent' ..." In 1900. these unit employed about 1.000.000 persons. Fabrlcant compares the Increase between govern ment employment and total employment and he find that -. . . the rate of growth In total employ ment, substantial though It ha been, fell far short of the very high rate of growth In government employment . . .- Total employment Increased from 1M0-4I by about 1M per cent, while government employment Increased by 450-600 per cent; privately employed workers by about 100 per cent. FABRICANT make two point which I prefer to quote: "... In not a single function of the federal government, the cities, or New York slate (or other state of which we have record), was the number of workers actually reduced. In no other sector of the economy would we find every major dlvtsion expanding. "The result are almost a striking when growth In population I taken as the standard against which to set the rates of Increase In Individual functions. Every federal function pushed employ ment up more than population grew. Every New York state function pushed employment up more than the population of the state grew. As for cities, all except three unctions pushed employment up more than urban popualtlon grew. i The three municipal function that did not grow a rapidly a urban population are the 'general control' functions, administrative, legislative and Judicial. In the federal government as well, and In part also In New York and other states. It was these functions that tended to lag. SIDE GLANCES POLITICALLY these trends produce a vast number of men and women, all voters, and . their close kin. who have a vested Interest in government Jobs. In the continuance of departments and functions. In the maintenance of payroll that Is, in the high cost of government. The strongest resistance politically to the Imple mentation of the Hoover reports, for Instance, comes from organizations of government employe who object to any reduction In the government' payroll In fact, the lobbying of such organizations In Washington and In slate capitals Is for constant Increase In government spending, especially' m their particular department and agencies. Unless this trend Is arrested. It political effect may be govern ment by it own employe and an unending Increase In taxes. The question arise whether there Is not danger that we shall continue to increase this government labor force still further until so many are employed In this manner that a large seement of the, ononis- can eat 100 tlon will be withdrawn from the private enterorisei J u But labor force. Maybe that Is good or bad or some thing, but it needs to be faced candidly. We are still shoving names on the government payroll, perhaps to keep down unemployment figures. We are still paying taxes for a huge host of citizen whose services are of doubtful productive value. till 0-8 ' rJct earn, isaa a. ass . acitatuHi. ear. j The World Today By DaWITT MACKENZIE Af Ferelga Affairs Analyst Stark ens "Surg, Dad.

This startling statement is Is a the first line of FABRICANT says: "Did absorption by government of functions commonly performed at the opening of the century by private enterprise play any role in expanding government employment? Employes engaged In public service enterprise rose only slightly more rapidly than population. Measured In this way and In thi sense. Increased socialization' of production does not appear to have been a significant factor . . ." There Is too little evidence to form any conclusion other than that the use of government employment to fight general unemployment has left us a heritage of a government payroll which has become of such political advantage that In spite of the Hoover reports, the political party In power dare not reduce it numbers, lest resentment over such an economy lead to political defeat. Yet, failure to reduce the government payroll mean, apart from ' costs, that efficiency In government operations may be un attainable. . Doctor Soys Heart Failure Aid Possible By ED WIN F. JORDAN. M.

They speak a lan guage which In etudes many words brought by their at color from the Jungle of Africa. Dr. Turner found that some ol the words in the Rice Islands lan guage ha! their orutin in Liberia. I was pai'ucuiarly Interested In this because . ItM I spent some time at Fisherman's lake. Liberia, I was astonished to run uuo an American colloquialism dating bark to slate days. It happened Ilk this: Just at me time of the American invasion ol North Africa. Novem- ber 7, I started to fly from Lon don to 111 Middle Eaat. Because the flight normally would Uke us near the scene of the fighting, the plane was diverted to Liberia. From there we crossed Africa to Khartum and then down the Nile valley to Cairo. I got hung up in Fisher man's lake, where there was an American military headquarters. i for several days, and s petit con j siderable time prowling about the neighboring funi lea. , Liberia's Birth I As you will recall, the slat of 1 Liberia grew out ol tn labors of ! the National Colonization Society ot America, which was orsantsed in 1816 to tree American Negroes and colonise in Africa, Some 13.000 -American" Liberians now live In the republic and they are descend anu of American slave. Well, I was tramping about among some native huu tn the Jungle when I came across a na tive woman sitting In front of hrr home and spoke to her. I really didn't expert to get an answer, thinking that she wouldn't under stand me. and was surprised when she replied In good American. I stopped to che with her and dur ing the conversation she employed a very old U. S. colloquialism, which led me to ask her where she learned It. rrom America "My great grandpa renU were slaves In America." she replied, "and came here when the Ameri can settlement a as made. I learned my ""tltsh from them." This woman, who was perhaps 40. never had been away from the Jungle, but the language and cus toms of pre-Clvll War days In the U- d Stales had been handed down to her. She spoke well, and her little Jungle home was neatly kept. Many other natives In that area spoke English, or a brand of It. which probably meant that they too were descendant of American slaves.
