WASHINGTON (API-Nolhing
It lonelier or more futile than a
proposal that members o( Con
gress pass a law to police them
selves. Sen. Richard Neuherger
ID-Ore) has ollcred a bill to do
that. You can kiss it goodby.
Yet members of Congress par
ticularly Republicans running for
reelection have been among the
harshest critics of Sherman Ad
ams, President Eisenhower's No.l
assistant, for doing favors for his
gift-giving friend Bernard Gold
fine.
Neuberger, who makes no npnl
ogies for Adams, has said: "The
Inconsistency between the rules
which Congress with a great show
of righteousness applies to exec
utive officials and its failure to
apply identical standards to its
own members undoubtedly has re
fleeted adversely on the repulation
of Congress in the public mind."
He suggests: "The doctor ought
to have to swallow some of his
own medicine."
His bill would compel members
of Congress and high government
officials once a year to file a re
port on the sources and amount
of each Item of income or gifls
Including speaking or writing fees
and expenditures that exceed
$100. and a statement of assets
and liabilities and dealings in se
curities or commodities during the
previous year.
Neuherger is just the latest of
d number of liberal senators, who,
over recent years, have suggested
that Congress set up by law some
ethical standards covering con
duct of its own members.
Earlier this year, while Con
gress was poking around the ac
Ivities of members of the Feder
al Communications Commission,
Neuherger wrote in the New York
Times: "If federal commissioners
are to be pilloried for accepting
hacienda suites at Palm Springs
or airplane tickets to Palm Beach,
how can senators and representa
tives continue profitable associa
tions with law firms retained by
banks, railroads, labor unions and
utility companies?"
He's said more this monlh, bolh
before and after the disclosures
about Adams: "Under existing
law no official or employe of the
executive agencies can leave his
public post and press any pending
private matter beforo his old bu
reau or department beforo two
years have elapsed.
"However, no such restraint ap
plies to members of Congress who
quit the House or Senate. They
can act as lobbyists or represent
atives for privalo intcresls imme
diately, even on questions or is
sues pending before cnmimllccs
on which they recently served."
Neuherger said further: "Com
mittees of Congress require Cab
inet appointees of the President
to divest themselves of slock hold
ings in corporations that have
business dealings with the federal
departments which these appoint
ees will administer.
'Yet memhers of the Senale and
House can own shores or partner
ships in businesses that arc dirrcl
ly alfected hy legislation which
these senators or represent alives
are drafting or voting upon."
Members of Congress, to gel
more money for their expenses,
make speeches for perhaps as
much as SI.OOO a talk before
groups virtually interested in leg
islalion pending before Congress.
Members of Congress get elect
ed with the help of campaign
funds fattened by contributions
from labor unions, distilleries,
sawmills, gas and oil corporations.
power companies, airlines and
mines, all with interest in legis
lation before Congress.
Throughout all his arguments
Neuherger keeps raising the ques
tion: "Who is going to police the
policeman'.1" The answer based
on what Congress has done to all
previous suggest inns like Neu-
berger's is: no one.
worst is over.
The first half of the year is com
ing to an end with 54 million per
sons looking for work, more than
7 per cent of the labor force. In
dus! rial production is around 14
per cent lower than a year ago,
and the total dollar value of the
nation's output of goods and serv
ices is off 4 per cent from its
peak. The cost of living after
months of steady climbing is 3.3
per cent above a year ago.
But midyear also finds most of
the farm belt feeling fine at the
result of higher prices and good
crop weather.
Ana siock market prices arc
around their high point for the
year, thus reassuring many how
ever unreliable that barometer of
the economy's future may prove
to be. The growing ranks of the
bears show that many question the
foresight of the bulls.
Consumer spending is holding
up pretty well in view of the drop
in incomes for many persons and
the tendency of others to save
more than usual. Savings
creased 5'i billion early this year
lo reach a record 268 billion dol
lars at the end of March a tidy
nestegg indeed.
Borrowing is easier and less
painful now that the Federal Re
serve Board has made money
plenliful and interest rates lower
lo cushion the recession and prof
fer a spark for recovery.
Yet neither business nor con
sumers are borrowing as much as
formerly. Corporate plans for
spending on plant and equipment
still contract and it may be well
into next year before that main
stay of an economy reappears in
lorce. consumers ore paying up
old debts and going slower
taking on new ones, especially for
new cars.
Home building is perking up a
Utile. And highway construction is

The first half of the year has
seen hopes of lax cuts wax and
then wane as the federal deficit
and debt start to soar.
wage-price turmoil centers on
the contrnctless auto workers and
llio debate over whether to raise
sleel prices and how much. Steel
is enjoying an upturn in demand,

Most stockholders are learning

to tradition and stage a summer
rally.
Anyhow it's summer. And sum
mer brings vacations, use of lots
of gasoline, heavy sales of sports
clothing, weddings with bridal and
home material spending, and
many other things that help the
consumer side of the economy.
But what about the other side,
the heavy industries. There still
are unanswered questions:
What's the prospect of a rise
in steel prices on July 1, the day
the steel workers get an auto
matic wage increase?
United States Steel, the world's
biggest sleel maker, is going lo
take a second look at the price
situation. It may postpone the an
ticipated advance. If and when a
rise in sleel comes it may be
less than the five dollars a ton
that had been anticipated. And
some company other than United
Slates Steel may make the first
move.
What about (he railroads? The
Senate moved (his week (o elimi
nate Ihe excise taxes on trans
portation. The House recently kept
those excises in its lax bill. There
will be a conference and the bets
are the rails will win. Then that
segment of industry may move
forward a few more notches. Its
operations already have shown
signs of improvement.
What about inventories? Inven
tories have been Ihe bane of in
dustry all through the recession.
We have consumed more raw ma
terial than we have produced be
cause industry was working off its
inventories.
Three big industries have made
good progress toward culling the
inventory stockpile. They are steel,
where inventories are said to be
down to a new low for three years,
Ihe autos, where inventories are
getting much less burdensome,
and the oil industry, where the
inventory of gasoline is below a
year ago. Many other lines have
hacked away at inventories, mak
ing for a big recovery in produc
tion lo fill the void in the not
distant future.
What about the new model

The auto industry and many other
lines, allied or otherwise, arc bank
ing on the auto boom to spark
Ihe recovery with a burst of speed
that ranks along with the high

lo come off the assembly lines.
What about gold? Should we
worry now that the nation has
lost some one and a third billion
dollars worth of our gold to for
eign countries so far (his year?
Nothing lo worry about at all,
say Ihe banking experts. It's a
good thing for foreign nations ano
will benclit us, too, they assert.
Anyhow, there will soon be a slop
to (he outflow of the gold because
at this time of year, European
nations are busy making interna
tional payments and may have to
sell back some of their gold to us.

Things have been looking prcllv
good lo the layman in Ihe world
of business for the last few weeks.

Musn't get too enthusiastic. There
is a prospect of a summer lull
before we begin lo pickup in real

But what finally became an
American tradition didn't arrive
on the scene until WS3. That's
when the frankfurter was intro
duced to the roll.
According to the American Meal
Institute, the modern hot dog was
born in St. Louis when a sausage
peddler figured it was time he
slopped losing money. Seems he
furnished gloves to his customers
so they wouldn't get their hands
greasy while eating his sausages
He talked to a baker and came
up with a long bread roll to fit
the sausage.
The term hot dog is credited
to a sports cartoonist in New
York. Up to then, the little sau
sage usually was called "Red
hots" or wieners. A peddler at the
Polo Grounds was hawking wein
ers and just to be different, he was
calling them "Dachshund sail
sages."
Get your Dachshund sausag
es, he yelled. They re red hot.
Next day, the cartoonist drew a
cartoon featuring a talking sau
sage, and he labelled it "hot dog,"
because, according to legend, he
couldn't spell "Dachshund."
Frankfurters today range in size
from the one-bite edition served
at cocktail parties to the 12-inch
monstors sold at amusemen!
parks. Standard size is five and
one-half inches long and three
quarters of an inch in diameter,
about 60 per cent beef and 40 per
cent pork.
The average American has been
eating 55 hot dogs a year, but
consumption keeps going up every
year. The meat institute figures
we'll chew on more than one bil
lion pounds of frankfurters this
year, about 60 hot dogs per person.
Back in the thirties, the hot dog
became a diplomatic weapon.
That was when England's King
George was visiting President
Roosevelt. At a Hyde Park picnic,
his majesty was photographed eat
ing a hot dog, and a stale depart
ment official commented:
"That shot is worth five battle
ships to British diplomacy."
Hot lloii Tiuio
Summertime is hot dog time in
the United Stoles, between now and
Labor Day, Americans will eat 2.'i
million frankfurters a day or two
and a half billion in the next three
months.

Answer
Portland (To (he Edilor) Re
garding the article by Floyd L.
Wynne entitled, "Teachers'
Rights," June 20, it should be
pointed out as stated in the article
that teachers can and do serve in
the Stale Legislature at the pres
ent time.
The purpose of the Initiative
Amendment to the Constitution is
lo permit teachers who are legis
lators to return to their leaching
positions without resigning from the
State Legislature. In this manner
teachers would receive the $1,200
for tho two-year service as a leg
islator Ihe same as other legis
lators. If a teacher must resign
before he resumes teaching, he
must return one-half of the salary
which he has earned.
The point as to how the teach
er could work both as a leacher
and legislator at Ihe same time
is easily answered since a leach
er who is serving in the Legislature
would be on leave of absence from
Ihe school district, without pay.
When the legislative session ad
journs, Ihe teacher would resume
his school duties the same as oth
er memhers of the Legislature re
sume their primary occupations.
While a school teacher is on leave
serving in the Legislature, the
school district would secure a sub
stitute leacher lo serve in his
place. Out of 16,000 teachers in
the slate of Oregon, the probable
number that would ever serve in
(he Legislature would be very minute.
To answer Mr. Wynne's two ques
tions, a school leacher on leave
would receive no pay from his
school district. The school district
would ordinarily hire a substitute
at a lower salary than a regular
leacher would recieve. Regarding
pressure by local school districts
or by the State Board of Higher
Education, 1 am quite sure thai
the leaching profession would ade
qualely handle this problem. The
recent I.yle Thomas, who served
as a legislator (or a number of
terms in Ihe House of Represents
lives, proved to be one of Ore
gon's outstanding legislators. With
out doubt, there are other fine
educators in the slate who could
perform a real service in the lesis
lativc branch of the slale govern
mrnl. The moral and ethical char
acteristics o( those in Ihe teaching
profession are as fine as those ol
any other prolessional group.

Final County
Budget Fixed
By Committee
Klamath County Budget Com
mittee Friday made a few minor
changes and then finalized a 1058
59 county budget calling for $2,639,
927 in expenditures.
The amount, as previously re
ported, is a hike of $14,381 from
budgeted expenses of the fiscal
year now ending.
The new budget requires that
$1,679,046 in taxes be raised. Based
or. present assessed values, Ihis
would mean a millage tax rate of
21.9 mills or 2.1 mills more thaivl-
Ihe 19.8 mills required to raise
taxes of $1,012,305 in '57-'58.
Changes made Friday did not in
volve totals, but merely the trans
fer of certain amounts from one
budget category to another.
From the $122,000 budgeted for
addition to the fund for a new
courthouse, the committee took
$2,700 for a new library staff clerk.
It took another $2,000 and put it in
the general fund to pay for mis
cellaneous medical and ambulance
services in the county.
The committee also transferred
$200 from the courthouse building
fund and gave County Treasurer
Kva Cook a $200 yearly raise,
which will bring her salary to
($4.8(10.
Committeemen turned next lo
the general emergency fund and
transferred from it $2,500 to buy
new stock weighing scales for the
fair board.
