Membr Aadit Bureau Ctrealatioa Telephone 1101 Wife Bring Profit TIE neonntiog pert about the hemrinn o the ladna triil recorery act tinder wy t VTathlnlton I that practically everybody aeemi to recoinlte the importance ot ilvine; the labor ing man a better break. Thoee minimum waf ecales may eound extremely Jow, and there la no aenee In pretending that they are aa high aa we would like to aee them; but the trend they represent la a healthy an, and the fact that their pro visions are being written Into law stand for protection ot a kind that American worklngmen havo sot had before. What we are doing. In a slow and round-about manner. Is to adopt the Tiewpoint first popu larized by Henry Ford that In dnatry can prosper only in a di rect ratio tp .the amount ot money It pays out in wages. . That proposition has always been exceedingly simple. The more money the workingmati earn the more he can spend on the things the factories produce that's self-evident. Yet Its obrious truth has failed, ao far. to prevent wage reductions In this country, because there is a little catch In it. If It Is to work, it has to be applied all along the line. No Individual employer can afford to follow It unless all of his com petitors do; and In an unregu lated society there is not the slightest chance that all ot them will do ao. The measures that are being taken now do not. aa some sup pose, restrict the freedom of the Industrialist In any very genuine sense. They are intended to pro Tide tor him a fairly rigid basic cod ot the wages he must pay and the hours he must operate: but beyond that they actually set him free In a way that h has never been set free before. He is made free, that Is, to reap the advantage of this sim ple and Important little equa tion of Mr. Ford's that higher wages, in tba long run, equal higher profits. He la freed from the competition ot the sweatshop, the fly-by-night operator, the In dustrial pirate. The economic enfranchisement of the worker is going to mean a brighter day for the workman, bos. Abolish Child Labor IT Is the best sort ot good tid ings that the cotton textile code provides tor the end ot child labor In that Industry. Before we rejoice too much, though, we might look at some statistics. There are In the United States more than 660,000 children be tween the ages ot 10 and 13 who are listed by the census as "gainfully employed." Only some 10,000 of these are employed in th textile Industry. This code, excellent as It Is, only touches a small fraction of tba children who ought to b classed as school pupils Instead of wage arne,s. Furthermore, all of these In dustrlal code are designed as emergency measures only. We have no guarantee they will be In effect four years from now We might just aa well do the job right and ratify th child labor amendment. That would affect all Industries and It would be permanent. Russian Trade Awaits SENATOR GEORGE W. NOIl RI8 of Nebraska Issued a little statement on trade with Russia the other day which la worth close attention. "I have learned on reliable authority," aays the aenator. "that the Ruaalaa government desires to buy In the American market 1,OPO.0 of meat products. 1.IOM0I bale of cotton and liOMOO.OOO worth ot machinery. She can make payment partly in kind an! partly tn money, but must have several years In which to com plete the transaction. "She proposed to ship as products of which we Import a large proportion ot what w nse. She proposes to ship thes prod ucts and apply the proceeds upon her debt.' To a country which tor years haa been looking frantically for customers, this eound Ilka Im portant neaa. It Senator Norrla's information la correct, somebody down at Washington ought to see to It that this deal la consummated. The) Two Roosevelt IF anything were needed to prove that President Franklin D. Roosevelt belongs to the same family as the former President Theodore Roosevelt, yon could find It easily enough by examin ing the Rooseveltian method of taking a vacation. There seems to be Just one word to describe the Roosevelt- Ian attitude toward recreation gusto. Teddy Roosevelt showed It con stantly. .Whether he waa hunt ing In the far west, roughing It on the plains or trailing big game through Africa, he never left anyone in any doubt that he waa thoroughly enjoying every minute ot it- And yon need only read the accounts ot Franklin Roosevelt's trip la that little yacht to realli that he, too, gets a tremendous soul-satisfying kick ont of his recreation. The ability to throw one's self wholeheartedly Into play In that way la a tremendously valuable asset- As tar as we can see. just about every member of the varioua Roosevelt famlliea seems to have It tn abundance. The Foreat Army Aids SOME of the actual accom plishments of th reforesta tion camp program are cited in a recent report by Robert Fech- ner, director of emergency con servation work. According to this report, th project hss al ready justified itself. Already, says Mr. Fechner, the 250,000 men enrolled have ar ranged for the payment ot cash allotments to more than 100.000 families, Involving altogether close to ' a million persons. The arrival of this allowance money, ha remarks, will bolster up family budget so that local relief organisations will find their losd substantially lighter. Nor la that all. Millions of dollars are being spent on the forest army 190,000 a day Is being spent for food alone, for instance, more than 14. 100, 000 la being spent for clothing, tents and other equipment, and fully S185.000 Is being spent for ath letic equipment. All In all, these expenditures should provide a very valuable atlmnlus for business generally. The major problem Is to get people back to work. If we can do that, we can get out of the hole we are in. Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson. Industrial recovery ad ministrator.

The Inside Story From The Capital e e By PAIL MAl.Ml.N (Copyright, 1111. b Paul ilsllon) Calciminerj WASHINGTON", July 1. Faint touches of whitewash are no ticeable around the inner walla ot th aenata committee which is not investigating lluey Long. The Indications are plain that when they get through with the Louisiana senator he will look like the great white father. The other day th commute had a eecret meeting. It decided hearings should be resumed In the Long-Overton Investigation at New Orleans October 11. The aewipaper men wer called and that news was freely distributed. The committee also voted not to let Ita If vestlfatore go back to Louisiana to conclude hia investigation. That news waa not given out. Jockeying Gentlemen near the committee keyhole noted ther was a pe culiar timeliness In th decision to resume hearings. The inresttgatora had just learned that a certain nationally circulated magasine waa about to open a campaign ot ridicule against their nearly forgotten farce. They beat th magasine to th bar ot public opinion by a few days. Th magasin was prevented from charging that Long had squelched the Investi gation. The committee thereby averted public criticism. Surface facts now Indicate It Is going ahead strongly. Sub surtsce ones do not. Bluff Th real truth appears to be that Huey haa the Indian sign on nearly ereryone In Washing ton. That goea for republican as veil aa democrats. The two republican members ot the In Testigating committee haT shown no eagerness to hustle things along. One baa not attended a public session ot the committee to this day. A manufacturing firm he is connected with now holds some Louisiana scrip on which it hopes to collect. There seems to be no good reason for this terror that Hue? has spread among the politicians. The excuse they whisper around among themselrw Is that he is Tery popular with the soldier Tote out In the country. He freely threatens to go Into each of the investigator's home states and arouse tbla class of Toters. . The inrestlgators know what happened in Arkansas when Huey took his political side-show there last year. He elected over the combined opposition of the democratic organization and the democratic leader of the senate. None of the invest ttrators want htm In their states if they can keep him out. Lukewarm There Is a better reason why the investigation will not be so hot from now on. It has no money. The committee conveni ently forgot to get any while congress was in session. Now it cannot get any until next an na ry. The Long investigation was ended for all practical purposes when the investigators bottled up the Howell resolution to ap propriate $25,000 for continuing the Inquiry. Ordinarily auch re solutions go to the senate com mittee on audit and control. An exception was mad In this case. The resolution was side tracked to the committee con ducting the Investigation. That was last February. It is still there today, gather ing dust and obscurity. Pal Look's big bark has been so loud here thst no on has cared to find out in a practical way whether there Is any bit behind it. Once he told a group of sena tors in the cloakroom: "When the revolution comes in this country, I will be the man on horseback. I will lead It." He requires the congressmen he controls to run around like servants. He makes them bring him ice for his ginger ale and empty his ash trays In front of guests. If they fall to snip to STRONG MAN, HUH? attention, b says far more forcefully than It can be writ ten: ".Man, I mad yoa and I can break you." unce be went up to a certain liberal senator and said: "I like your style. You and I ran be friends. 1 don't care an.vtbing about your votes la the senats. I know we all hav to vote for our best Interest back home. Yoa can vote anyway you like and I'll still be your friend. I go down the line for my friends." And he does. Snoozing The liberals higher np tn the' interior department are com plaining privately that the Ten nessee valley authority went to sleep on .he job. They hsv evidence that a cer tain power company has sewed up many municipalities tn the Muscle Shoals area with long term contracta to furnish power at low rates. Th lawyers are being called In to see if these contracts are good. It they are the govern ment will have a hard time get ting stsrted In th power busi ness down there. Tiiat is th reason construc tion work hss not been rushed along as rapidly as planned. Merry-Making Wall Street agents In Wash ington were In a flurry over the week-end. They heard the ad ministration waa going to move to depress the stock market. They ran wild until quieted by a trustworthy administration authority. He told them th administra tion would do all it could to pre vent prices from rising too rap Idly, but promised nothing would be don her to deflate thera. Tbe goal now Is supposed to be 11.50 whest and a 20 per cent further reduction In the value ot the dollar In relation to the pound and franc. That goal will be a long time coming. There will be many dips snd curves before It ar rives. However, the speculator were satisfied and made merry with the market. . e Chiselers They hare been doing a little sly chiseling at the post office department lately. It waa pre scribed after Farley discovered the departing republican played a trick on him. It seems tiiey ordered something like 260 post office cornerstones. At least that Is the democratic estlmste. When th stones were delivered they bore good republican names. Earlier Days (From Files of The Klamath Republican July, 11X11)) County Clerk DeLap, Sheriff Barnes, ex-Mayor Stills, Harry Stilts and Phillip Stilts, a brother recently from Nebraska, took a little fishing Jaunt to - River yesterday. All the party ex cept John furnished the neces saries, and John furnished in structions how to catch 'em, and they all got tired. e Whew! Don't say that when you go Into th office of County Clerk DeLap. He is sensitive about this little expression and something Is HaMs tn happen If yoa forget and us II. Th causa ot th trouble la a recent law which requires ths county clerk to keep th scslps ot anl mala killed for county until the next regular meeting of the county court. It seems that none of th lawmaker thought about what would happen to a lot ot skins brought tn during the sum mer and well It baa happened to DeLap aa well as sll other clerks in th state. Th aklna decay and with this process comes an aroma that la any thing but pleasant. DeLap de clare that If he la not furn ished with a refrigeration plant that either he or the scalps will hav to move. Judging fmm the condition of the scalps now on band, they will begin to move anyway In a day or two. In the meantime be careful, and don't aay "whew!" Comments From the State Press GONE THIS OLD FOCRTH 1 Astorlen-Hudget Th old-fashioned Fourth of Julv celebration seems to have been relegated to the realma of discarded things. fc No longer flu cituens father to listen to a solemn reading of the Declaration of Independent and to the orator of the duy rise tn great heights of eloquence In de scribing the greatnesa ot our founding fathers and the gov ernment they established for themselvea and posterity In th blood of battle. It used to be that Americans on th natal day of their nation devoted at least a part ot thetr observance ot th occasion to patriotic exercise calculated to Imp rent upon all th significance of the long-gone day when thetr Revolutionary forefathers severed the last tit with their mother country and declared the exist ence ot new and Independent country. It la oult otherwise now. Save for th Incessant popping of fir-! crackers and the night displays of fireworks, there la little about our Fourths ot July to distin guish them from our other holi days. Independence day baa be come Just another day to lay aside routine duties and to rush to mountains or beaches for a brief va ration. House parties and picnics, dancing and other featlv Ules mark the day. to be sure, and occasionally ther Is a pa rade modernised but still remin iscent of the Fourtha of yester year, but still ther ts little to develop a consciousness of the real reason for th holiday. The cause? An ebbing ot pa triotism? We do not think so. Perhaps a better explanation Is that, In this buy age In which we lire. Americans, when they get a play day, do not like to devote their thoughts or time to anything ot a serious nature. Nevertheless, there are those who will sigh that the old-Cushioned Fourth is no more. FOR MKM.ON'8 SAKE (Ort'ion Journal) Was It the Charlus K. Mitchell acquittal that encouraged effort to dismiss the 1 220,000, 000 cane against Audrew W. Mellon and other former treasury officials? The case, brought In the Dis trict ot Columbia court, tells an old story. It was brought by David A. Olson, former Investi gator ot the senate comjiiittce appointed to Investigate banking and stock market activities. Tin allegation Is that the former treasury official helped forelgu steamship companies defraud th government of Income taxes. This, of course, la the charge that Mellon used bis position as secretary of the treasury to manipulate to hia own advantage huge private interests. The action was brought In malice, said Mr. Mellon's attor ney as he made the motion to dismiss. Mr, Olson merely hud a mean nature when he said that Secretary Mellon didn't collect 1100,000.000 due from the for eign steamship companies, and that the secretary placed the government In a position where it was compelled to refund 1 10, 000,000. When Olson filed the complaint, In the name ot the people of the I'nltcd States, it was further asserted that he Juat covered too much territory. One would think that former Secretary Mellon whose appoint ment to th court of St. James so promptly preceded a conclu sion in the senate Investigation might propose complete trial as vindication of his own honor. It Is certain that the people of the United States, who have never been satisfied with the re sults of the Investigation, would Ilk to see the en ho carried to the end and tried so well that It would clear up all the facta, It shouldn't be possible for any man In government office to do anything but serve the people, all of th people, all of the time.
