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.
I' No. 3 barber shop item has to do with hunting.
' of course, along these line. Our mule deer herd
are declining in stature and vigor because the big
; -old sturdy herd aires are being killed off. The mule
j deer refuge out Quart mountain way was estab
i lished as a haven for this breeding stock.
' Now thai this refuge and others have been opened
; to hunting, the best aires are hunted down for the
prise heads, and the nerds decline. (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.
If you don't agree, come to any barber shop at
any time and your voice will be heard. (As we get
it. beauty shop conversation runs along more trivial
line, so the ladies herewith are excluded).

Solomon Fabrtcant's statistical study? The Rising
Trend of Government Employment," Issued by the
National Bureau of Koonomlc Research.
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.

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

I was pai'ucuiarly Interested In this

at Fisherman's lake. Liberia, I was
astonished to run uuo an American

Just at me time of the American
invasion ol North Africa. Novem-

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

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

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.
