No specific subjects have presented themselves to show the need for legislating in the defense program. It may be that they will, and if they are of drastic importance. Oregon's legislature should convene. But nothing short of imperative need should be permitted to bring about a special session. Certain!?, the state should not be put to the expense of a special "session to further the political ambitions of potential office seekers, as some reports from the state capital indicate is partially behind the sugeestions for a special session. Let the politicians use some other method to publicize themselves. It begins to look at last as if we are going to get action on two projects financially supported by the city's voters in elections. , The Portland district United States engineers have mailed out specifications for improving the Klamath air port to prospective bidders. Bids will be received about May 15. Meanwhile, the city council is in the last stages of acquiring most of the property to be added to the airport in the expansion program. The other project that is getting into an active stage is the city street signal system, authorized by the voters nearly a year ago. The state highway commission has at last called for bids to be received in May on this project. But even if satisfactory contract is made, materials for the system may be held up because of the defense program. It has taken and may still take a long time to get the stop and go business into operation. The bovs and girls of the Christian Endeavor are hav ing a good time in Klamath Falls. That is plain to anyone who has seen them on the streets or in the meeting halls, where they are holding a most successful state convention. There is inspiration in seeing these clear-eyed young people earnestly working to further the cause of the Christian faith, and going about it happily and with the enthusiasm of youth. inn There is hope for the present and the future in It all. We hope they carry on. Young King Peter of Yugoslavia joins the procession of kings who have been forced to flee their own lands since the nazi military machine was unleashed a year and a half ago. Strange symbolism, the young Peter has chosen Jerusa lem as his place of refuge, Jerusalem, that ancient city to which came another once who proclaimed himself a King. Brief indeed was the kingship of young Peter of Yugo slavia. A few short weeks, and it was over. Yet for even wsii? icrr?. states: aence 01 rue cuumiy. uu and lelt Denina nim a recora less aamirauie; nora ui Bulgaria and Carol of Rumania come quickly to mind. So young a king as Peter has many years before him. He may yet see much that is hidden behind the smoke of battle. An important event of the week in fraternal and building circles is the announcement of the Moose lodge that it has purchased the Hirvi building, a brick structure on Pine street. Here the Moose plan an elaborate lodge home. It should prove a notable addition to the city's fraternal establishments. Byrd Demands New Labor Secretary WASHINGTON.

The stock market, supposed to be the na tion's economic barometer, is today reporting sunshine busi ness earnings and hurricane stock values. Earnings are run ning at the level of the boom year of 1937. Stocks are selling at the depression levels of 1938. You will not believe it, but one stock is telling at a price only double its annual earnings. International Paper and Power earned $6.07 a share last year, but recently sold on the New York exchange for $12 50 a share. Many other stocks are ..rTsr sz times their earnings while 10 times used to be considered conservative valuation. Nothing quite as cockeyed as this has ever happened In mod ern economic times. PRICES UP Everything else about busi ness except the market con tinues to go up. Even Leon Henderson, who is sitting on the price lid, is finding the lid ever rising high er and higher beneath him. The government'i own price In dex registered 81.1 for April, compared with 80.8 for March and 80.6 for February (com pared with 78 a year ago and 93 in February 1929). The gov- eminent economists are com SIDE GLANCES iw van-do vou think you're on your way to put out a fire bomb?" The Shining Light forting themselves with the ex pectation that the gradual rise will reach no higher than 9 per cent more before the end of the year. With general union wage Increases and the tax bill com ing along it may be difficult for outsiders to share their op timism. When once these pres ent price ceilings are broken, the whole national economic life will move upstairs, at least' one floor. Income payments, the life- blood of all business, reached es in April compared to 88 a year ago and 100 in 1929. the greatest boom year of history. So people are getting nearly as much money now in wages and dividends as they got in the historical boom years' of 1S29.

It will reg ister about 142 for April (31 points over same month last year) compared with 143 in March and 141 in February. All this should add up to the greatest boom in history but the stock market caught the German measles in the Balkan campaign and thinks it's a de pression. MORALE BOOSTS The strong speaking drive of Mr. Roosevelt's men to buck up morale (Hull, Knox, Jones, Wi nant) is explained inside as an other British aid measure. Brit ish empire morale needed bol stering more than ours, they say semi-offlcially. Australians and New Zealanders took the blow in Greece, and the dissatisfac tion in Canberra could be heard here. Navy Secretary Knox's hint that he wants war was no sur prise. He and War Secretary Stimson have been furnishing most of the inside pressure around the White House for fur- ther and further steps the past 30 days. WRONO EXCUSE The boys who are clamoring for American convoys apparent ly are using the wrong excuse. The din started from many official phonographs here last Wednesday, all based on the same ground terrific British losses lately require this drastic American action. One congress man who wisely kept himself anonymous inspired a dispatch that 40 per cent of American goods to England had thus been lost lately. The navy department In a non-confidential bulletin esti mates the weekly British losses as follows: Tons 84.244 ..107.794 37.712 98.870 March 31-Apr. 6, (Not available) April 7-13 April 14-20 .. 43,220 .... 17.229 This decline should be con- tinued as the British arc mod ernizing their antiquated con voy system along recently sug gested lines. No responsible quarter here has any information indicating a disastrous change in the con voy problem up to the moment this was written. Obviously if convoying is to be done, it will be done for reasons other than the one being offered. Elsewhere In Oregon LA GRANDE, April 26 (IP) R. R.
