Pauperizing Producer!
(Salem Capital-Journal)
BANKERS., processors and
Vj speculators are saying hut
1,1 cents a pound for cherries
this rear less thin they paid
last year a sum that scarcely
pars tor picking and means In
creased penperlsatlon ot fruit
as well as demoralisa
tion, ot the canning industry In
the northwest. And the worsi
t n that snch prices are un
justifiable and nnneceasary, the
result ot cutthroat compmuuu,
aa the part ot a few unscrupu
lous concerns over tne protest
others, who realise that the
prosperity ot the producer is
vital to their own prosperity.
In nearly every branch ot In
dustry prices are advancing rap
idly. They ahould be also in
the trnlt and canning industry,
ttiiaii ther are declining un
der those of a year ago, which
were less thsn cost of produc
tion. This situation Is the con
tribution ot a few processors
toward national recovery.
Not only cherries are affected,
but pears and prunes, for these
tew cutthroat canners are offer
ing the canned product at prices
which mean scarcely picking
cost to- growers. These prices fix
the prices for all, as other can
ners are compelled to meet the
competition.
It was to prevent such tactics
and Insure living prices, wages
and fair profits that the agri
cultural bill as passed along
with the recovery bill, which
provides trade agreements and
minimum price fixing provisions,
under tederal supervision. It is
apparently too late for the adop
tion of a fair trade code by the
canners tn time to regulate mar
keting ot maturing crops, but
the organization should be per
fected as early as possible for
the future, and those who re
fuse to cooperate, be denied
federal license and forced to
close.
We have a few processors who
specialise in pauperising the
growers none fortunately In
Salem and the country would
be far better off without them.
Both canners and producers
should see that these provisions
of the sgricultural adjustment
act are enforced In the north
west. Equalizing tha Load
(Bend Bulletin)
Y taxes this year," a aer-
Ivlce club speaker Is
quoted In the news, "amount to
tilt. When I total up what I
get for this tilt. I can't escape
the conclusion that It Is a very
great bargain Indeed."
The speaker goes on and
enumeratea some of the services
and beneflta which are available
through tax-financed govern
ment. He mentions streets, and
police protection, and highways,
and tha publlo achools, and any
number of large and small con
venlences to which we have be
come ao accustomed thst we
think nothing of them at all.
A very great bargain for the
taxpayer, truly.
Yet ther Is a greater bar
gain. It Is tha on enjoyed by
the Individual or firm, who
pays no taxes, but who haa Just
the same advantages and con
venlonces as ths Individual, or
firm, who does pay.
Sometimes the non-taxpayer
Is a non-taxpayer because he
can't ','ar: sometimes he Is a
non-taxpayer because he doesn't
chooss to pay, although entirely
able to do so: and sometimes
he Is a non-taxpayer because
under our present system there
la no basis on which ho Is per
mitted to pay taxes. That Is to
say, he la not a property owner.
There are many such. In the
mala they are willing to pay
and able to pay. Yet there Is
no levy against them. Their po-
Itlons may be good ones. Ac
tually they may be better oft
than many who are turning over
their money to the sheriff. But
they are subject to transfer,
hopeful of promotion. Wisely
enough they do not acquire
property In a community which
they may be leaving oa ahort
notice.
These people are not on the
tax rolls. Tha sales tax would
place them there. The aalea tax
would see to It that the class
which can pay, hut doesn't, would
pay. For tha person who would
like to pay, but never seem quite
able to make tha payment when
the day rolls around, a propor
tionate sharing ot governmental
expense would be made feasible
by the manner In which the tax
would be spread oxer every day
ot the year.
Under the aalea tax tha non
taxpayer would cease to enjoy
the very great bargain ot get
ting something tor nothing, and
tha taxpayer would no longer be
forced to carry the load ot both
ot them. The load would be
equalised.
It should be equalised. To do
it, tha sales tax ahould be
passed.
Silver And World Trade
THE) American delegation's
proposal at London for an
International plan to rehabili
tate silver may yet turn out to
be one of the beat Ideas ad
vanced at tha world economic
conference.
The warm support given the
plan by such natlona as India,
China and Mexico to say noth
ing ot that which cornea from
European countries like Ger
many and Italy indicates the
important position that silver
still holds in msny parts ot the
world as a monetary base. Raise
silver's Talus, and you auto
matically Increase the purchas
ing power ot vast sections ot
the world's population.
With that accomplished, a
very substantial Increase In In
ternational trade could be ex
pected to follow. And alnce a
revival of International trade la
on ot the prime alms of the
conference, the possibilities In
herent In the silver rehabilita
tion scheme are easy to compre
hend. Peace In Tha Orient
tT Is evident that Japan's M-
JL umph In Manchurls and
north China Is about to be ce
mented more or lesa permanent
ly In a Slno-Japanese treaty;
and whatever may be said in
criticism of tha treaty. It will
at least be a welcome thing In
one respect it will bring to an
end an "unofficial" but sin
gularly bloody and expensive
war.
Early reports Indicate that
the treaty will strengthen the
foundations of the puppet state
ot Manchoukuo, that China will
permanently lose the province
ot Jehol, that Japan's prestige
in the far east will b greatly
Increassd and that the rule of
the "war lords tn north China
will be ended.
Thl much could have been
predicted months ago. In some
respects the treaty Is reassuring.
Jspan apparently has no desire
to try to dismember China
proper. Her new Influence In
Manchoukuo and Jehol may
eventually turn out to be a
stabilising and civilizing force
badly needed in those provinces.

The Inside Story From The Capital

By PAVIi M.U.I.ON
(Copyright, 1933. by Paul Mallon)
Runaround
WASHINGTON, July 10 All
dustrial control setup.
A touchy underlying situation la being concealed behind the
fine ballvhoo ot the government publicity agents.
The truth ia that a few Industries aeera to be running out on
the program. They are finding various lame excuse for not map
ping up to the counter with minimum wage proposala and codes.
The situation became so threat
ening several days ago Com
merce Secretary Roper wauted
to take strong action. He advo
cated In the confidential Inner
councils that the president pro
claim hla own rod tor all In
dustries. That would atlr them
Into action.
The men at the top thought
Roper'a plan waa too strong.
They have been working for days
on a more moderate way ot
prodding the laggards.
The reason for this backstage
situation ia not hard to find.
Business haa Improved meas
urably since congreaa passed the
Industrial control act. Produc
tion and prices are going up.
Cheap labor makes good profits.
Some manufacturers see a chance
of crawling out ot the slough
without fixing minimum wsges.
They would like to see what the
next 30 days bring tn a business
way before they get Into the
government harness.
Back further In the picture Is
the feeling that the government
aetup means unionisation of such
open shop industries as coal and
iron.
Wages
These captains ot Industry
who have larger heada than pins
do not take such a narrow
minded view. They know our
present progress can be main
tained only through re-emplor-ment
and proper wage scales.
I'nemployed men have no pur
chasing power. Cheap labor only
has a cheap purchasing power.
The trouble la that aoma In
dustrialists cannot see this na
tion picture. They see only con
ditions in their own Industry.
One sidled around to General
Johnson not long ago with a
prize idea. He wanted to make
bargain with the government.
He would Increase wages 10 per
cent Immediately It the govern
ment would not 'ry to make him
adopt a minimum wage and a
code. They laughed at him.
All tnia maneuvering is oniy
picayune by-play.
For the present the govern
ment Is keeping its temper.
That Is whv you see General
Johnson lasulng pointed atate
menta that there would be more
speed It the gentlemen would
come in and consult him. He
naively attributes delsys to that
cause.
Some of hla associates are
buzzing that the setup will not
be working before December un
less they hurry up. It will not
take that long.
If the delays are continued
you will see the government
speaking more harshly. It has
the power. To hear them tell It
off the record there will be no
hesitation about using it.
On the inside labor Is strong
for the cotton textile code.
It has been approved privately
bv the labor attorney, Donald
Klchberg, who ia alttlng with
General Johnson. Also by the
labor leader, Leo Wollman.
The opposition, led by Presi
dent Green ot the A. F. of L.,
seem not to have a deep root.
Green has stirred up his follow
ers out through the country.
They have stsrted telegrsms of
protest rolling Into Johnson.
They all ask tor a 30 hour
week, which la Impossible.
Tha general run ot the labor
group la keeping quiet because
they do not want to ruin Green's
show.
Tactics
The Green opposition Is prob
ably based on the Idea that you
ahould ask for mor than you
expect to get.
He may be looking ahead at
prospects ot orgsnlslng the cot

la not what It seems In tha In
er A. F. ot L. basis. It will
make a hit with tha workers
thst he stood out for a 10 hour
week, even It he did not expect
to get It.
Ot h r smart labor leaders are
worrying about the dearth of
good men among the professional
organisers. They fear that with
the men they have now they may
not be able to take full advan
tage ot the opportunity the gov
ernment la giving them.
You may expect to see some
new blood In action before the
unionisation program haa gone
verv far.
The way the cotton labor
leaders squeesed a tew more dol
lars on the minimum wsge would
indicate they are not so dumb.
In confidential conference be
fore the public hearlnga they
agreed on $10 and HI a week.
Labor Leader McMahon rightly
reasoned that was a fairly good
figure. He accepted It.
Later other leaders like Woll
man came running in with an
Idea they could get more. They
found McMahon had put nothing
in writing. So they started
holding out for III and SIS.
They got It.
Telling the
Editor
WANT ARMORY
KLAMATH FALLS (To the
Editor) Tha veterana political
organisation known aa the De
fenders of America will hold Its
next regular meeting tn the cir
cuit room next Tueaday evening.
July 11, at t p.m. Thla will be
one of the most Important meet
ings that has yet been held.
There will be the announcement
ot the permanent committees, and
plans to fight the two bills which
would divert the county armory
funds will be laid. It la urged
that all members and anyone wbo
may be Interested be present.
The veterana feel that there la
a real need for an armory in
Klamath Falls. The record made
by the local national guard unit
Is a credit to any community,
and there is a real danger of our
losing that unit unless we show
some appreciation and give them
decent quarters. It la a fact that
this unit brings Into Klamath
county 115.000 each year for Its
maintenance. It Is also a possl.
bilfty that two units could be or
ganlzed if proper facilities were
to be had, thus greatly increasing
this amount.
Not only would the building be
available for better housing of
tne national guard, hut It would
provide a public meetinx place
something which Klamath Falls
needs sorely. Large conventions
pass up Klamath Falls for the
reason that there is no place for
them to congregate, and thus
much money and advertisement
that would otherwise be ours is
lost.
To divert the funds Into revolv
ing funds would lose a great por
tion of the funds now in hand
snd greatly lessen the amount ot
state money that would come here
eventually for the building. An
other thing that we have to face
is the fact that when funda start
revolving there Is no telling
where they may revolve to, and
when we wanted the monev to
build with It would be like the
war debt It would he impossible
to get the money restored to the
armory fund. If either bill now
placed before the voters of Klam
ath county passes the veterans
feel that It will be the end of the
armory for many years to come,
ss there is no guarantee that It
will ever be returned. No one
' "
rjr?y.
FALLS, OREGON
knows Ilk the veteran how tar
he can trust an unguaranteed
public promise when It becomes
mixed up In politics.
Many farmers who are aorely
In need of better roads feel that
If this money were diverted then
they could have their roads, but
there la no guarantee that this
will ha done. In faetrt the county
court proposes to use H for pay
Ing off warrants, which, by the
way, at present are all paid.
Therefore, tn view of the need
of an armory. In view of the 313,
000 a year that the national
guard la now bringing Into Klam
aih county which may be lost by
Improper housing of the guard, In
view ot the possibility or organ
ising another unit and increasing
this amount, and In view ot pro
viding a proper meeting plac in
Klamath Falls, It Is eiprdlent
thst these two bills be defeated
at the coming election on July 21
next.
The veterans political organisa
tion therefore respectfully asks
the voters ot this county to vote
sgslnst both of these bills and
save the armory. (Signed)

Just a string of tell-tale buzzes
radioed from a hundred miles up

flood itself, when aa automatic
water level broadcasting device
now In successful operation at
two river-gauging stations In
Northeastern California becomes
known.
It la the Invention ot Irvln In-

They get their electric energy
from ordinary radio batteries,
and are powered at something
less thsn one watt. Neverthe
less they have been heard at Sac

They are not required to transmit
speech, but tell their stories In
buzzes and pauses.
They are switched on and off

work which not only controls ths
timing, but also sends the station
