JOHNSON, ad ministrator of tha goTem ment'a lnduitrlal recovery ma chlaery. promUea that tbla. tre mandoualy ImporUnt new ex periment la folng to take place t a goldfish bowl." Industrlallat who devise a coda for their plants most get p where everybody ran aee and hear them to explain Just what they believe abont working hours, wages, profits, prices and tha like. . . This is pernaps the most wholesome part of all the "new eal. It means that the hush-hush daya at Washington are oier. The lobbyist who tiptoes about the corridors, lurks In the shadows ot the capitol pillars, buttonholes congressmen on the quiet and Ulks softly In the privacy ot a bureaucrat's office he has stepped ont Into the open, now, and all that he says and does takee place In the brightness of the spotlight. e That, anyhow, is the theory. But some ot the big boys don't seem to hare heard about It yet. Washington correspondents re ported that old-style lobbyists swarmed all over 'the capital during the last session ot con gress. , A sizeable army ot them still remains there. They are trying to work In the traditional manner; making deals, putting on the tlx, applying pressure. trading favors, exerting pull, axercislng all of the old tricks If anything Is obvious, it is that the time for this sort of thing Is past. What the big business man. the financier and the company director do nowsdaya is strictly the public's business. The coun try Is embarking on a vast new experiment In economics, and It baa a right to know which of Ha business leaders are going to play ball and which are trying to drop a monkey wrench In tho machinery. General Johnson's goldfish bowl Is the only place In which lobbying can be tolerated now. Any business group that objects to what Is being done Is en titled to state Its case there. It has every right to Toice its ob jections and to argue for special consideration so long as It does It openly, where all of us ran hear. It has no right whatever to do It under cover. In the privacy of someone's inner of fice. The group tbat continues to maintain the old-style lobby now convicts Itself, automatically, of a complete misunderstanding of the spirit and purpose of the 'new deal." tha dim past, gone ta war with one another. But they hare learned how to aattla everything peaceably, and their example la a shining light that other na tions might Tory profitably try to copy. Th "Hit-Skip" Driver EVERT newspaper la every city la America haa occa sion every so often to record the activities of tha "hlt-eklp" motorist tha driver who hits a pedeatrlaa or another car and thea apeeda away without stop ping to make hla Identity known or to aee how much damage he has caused. And every case of that kind emphaslsea anew the need tor a strict license code and an ade quate highway patrol under which It would be possible, first, to catch aurh .drivers, and sec ond, to rule them permanently off the road. The driver who fails to stop after an accident proves that he la not to be trusted on the highways with a car. It we are ever to eut down our ahocklnx toll ot motor accidents we must find soma effective way of get ting tha "hit-skip" chap out from behind the ateering wheel for good. SIDE GLANCES h Geo ciark It WHEAT AND THE FARMKK BEFORE we all get too Jubll aat over the advent ot dollar wheat It is worth remembering tbat a lot ot wheat belt farmers won't be helped a great deal by this price level because ot the simple fact that they have very little wheat to sell. Last year'a crop has been sold. A heavy drought has badly dam aged a great deal ot this year'a j crop. The farmer who still has some of last year's wheat In his bins, and the farmer who has been lucky enough to get a good yield this year In spite of the hot. dry weather these chaps are dus to cash in abundantly. But a lot ot farmers, unfortun ately, are going to find that dol lar wheat for the time being, at least leaves them Just about where they were before. s" ' Ms u mt ere I If I don't let away for a "I'm going to have a breakdown vacation." I don't get away Editorials on News Wa always knew those cosmic ray scientists would finally get around to something useful. A Franklin Institute professor an- nouncea the invention of an atom weighing machine, which is Just the very thing for weighing out bank roll. (Continued From Page One) we remember that during this period employment normally goes down. The American Federation of Labor estimates that since the end of March more than 1.(00.004 workers have been re-employed. SO SICCH for Industrial work ers. Let us look now at the farmer. According to the latest flgurea ot the Bureau ot Labor Statistics, prices of farm products are up SO per cent from the low . point. Prices ot all other product com bined, on the same date, were up only three per cent. That is to say, prices ot what the farmer SELLS hara riaen ten times as fast as prices ot what the farmer BUYS. That Improves the farmer's condition quite a lot. THE FARMER, of course. Is en titled to quite a lot more Im provement atlll. According ti the department of agriculture, the ratio ot prices he receives to the price he pays was only CI per cent ot the pre-war average in May, which means that with all the Improvement that has taken place, the farmer Is still only about two-thirds as well oft- as he was before the wsr. But at least hla condition s Improving, whereaa for a number of years past It has been growing steadily worse. And It Is probable that the farmer's condition baa Improved materially alnr these figures were issued, which was late In May. AND NOW a word as to lumber. "In which we are all keenly In- tereated: Tha latest bulletin ot tha West Coast Lumbermen's . association contains this statement: "Unfill ed ordera are bow it.i per cent ot inventories, the largest ratio since August ot 119. Tha posi tion ot the Industry to Ita mar kets remains strong." "Ratio ot unfilled ordera to Inventories highest alnca August ot Hit." That does sound good. It reflects a healthy condition er at least aa Increasingly healthy condition. e e e MOW I.ET'8 dnvp hark for a A' moment to national flgurea: Dally average awards ot build lug coatraeta daring tha first it days ot June, as reported by tha Dodge Corporation, were 1.1 per rent lew than during the corre sponding period ot June, 1931, which Indicates that building aa a whole hasn't got under way yet. But listen lo this: During these 11 day ot June ot this year awards of RESIDENTIAL build ing contracts wera 11.4 per cent GREATER thaa In June ot last year. T-HAT IS to aay, construction ot - big buildings hasn't got un der way yet. or even started, but resident Isl construction Is begin ning. It la to residential con struction. Including modernisa tion, that tha lumber Industry looks lor one of Its large markets la tha next few years. see WB ALL know (hat business Is better. But the big question' la will It stay batter? Is the present move, meat fundamentally aound, or Is It a flash la the pant Tha figures here quoted lead to tha belief that tha Improve ment that haa been noted Is eon dltlons Is fundamentally aound, and that It will continue. That la why they are cheering. Earlier Days From riles ot the Klamath Re publican, July, lags.
