Who Is Promoting Initiation?

Critics of OPA price regulations are
usually charged with promoting initiation.
The OPA, by contrast, is pictured as
heroic agency striving to save the coun-
try. Without detracting from the merits
of the OPA, it should be pointed out that
such a picture is lopsided There are
plenty of people in the country who be-
lieve in the necessity of price-fixing just
as sincerely as the OPA, but who are
bitterly opposed to rules which they feel
disrupt production and distribution,
thereby indirectly promoting initiation.
Typical of OPA rulings of the dlsrup-
tive character, is the one affecting low
cost wearing apparel under OPAs High
est Price Line Limitation. This ruling,
by maze of technicalities, actually pre-
vents low-cost retailing. Following
comment on the highest price line order,
from distributors over the country: A
merchant from Ohio says: ''The quality
of children's clothes that we are permit
ted to sell now for the prices established
bv the basic period is so poor that the
customer will not buy it. ). This is a
waste of raw material"
And from Missouri: eve have not
been able to get higher priced items Tor
our trade and hence our shelves are bare.
The price limitation has kept us from
replenishing our stock at higher price
level, although labor and manufacturing
costs have risen due to war conditions,
and, since this is a farming community
all the other merchants for several miles
around labor under the same shortages as
we do. Young children are actually
scantily clothed and badly clothed due
to this condition" Another merchant
from Missouri declares: eve have carried
womens house dresses in low-price brac-
kets. The quality of dresses of the same
price ranges is so poor now that we have
been forced to drop this line"
Who is promoting initiation, the creator
of an unavoidable price rule or the mer.
chants who seek to keep the channels OF
distribution open and steady flow OF
necessities moving to consumers?

the Oregon Coast Division of the West
Coast Power Company which pioneered
electric development in Sparsely settled
territory along the Oregon Coast.
In 1912, the private company (now the
PUD) paid Federal income tax of
$22, 466, a Federal capital stock tax OF
$69804, Federal electric energy tax OF
$6974.98; it paid state property tax OF
6,596.40, a state corporation tax OF
$137.8O, a public utility commissioners
fee of $48181, a social security tax of
$996.67, city franchise and license fees
of $71.62, and other state taxes of $16.15,
or total of $48, 439.47.
Recently published statements by the
PUD for 1913 indicate that during the
past year of it's ownership, $44, 377 has
been accumulated above regular operat-
ing expenses. But the PUD is exempt
from all Federal taxes, and pays only
the state property tax. On 1912 tax fig
ures, the PUD would, therefore, have been
exempted from paying the difference be-
tween SIC ,59640 and $48, 439.47, or total
of $31, 843.07 which the private company
paiC. in 1912 to maintain Federal and
state governments.
Inasmuch as the PUBS income for 1943,
due to war demand for electricity, was
higher than in 1912, it's so-called "accum-
ulated earnings above regular operating
expense" in 1943, were principally taxes
it didn't pay, but which all other tax
payers had to make up.
The millions of dollars of tax exemp-
tons now enjoyed by such socialized
electric properties throughout the coun-
try, must be added to the present stag
gering load of all taxpayers Such prop
critics, which are purely business enter
prises, competing with and destroying
private taxpaying industry, should pay
taxes on the same basis as every other
taxpayer How much longer will the peo-
pie submit to such double dealing?

bad for Morale"

Allied commanders it seems, are out
of patience with the ''peSsimistlc" stories
about the battle for the AnZio beachhed.
So correspondents in the battle area may
no longer use radio for on-th-spot stories
from the front. And after front-llne
censorship they must now send their dis
patches by courier back to base mead
quarters for more censoring, which makes
for considerable delay. It's all bit puzzl-
ing It seems only day before yesterday
that we were being scolded for compla-
cency. Now, apparently, that froWned-
upon complacency is being protected
against the rude shock of gloom. Back OF
this paradox is undoubtedly the familiar
official argument that this, that, or the
other is dad for morale" The feeling
seems to be that complacency is bad Tor
morale, and so is peSsimiSm. So also is
any public suspicion of domestic Tits IN
the family of the United Nations, which
accounts for the recent report OF new,
tighter British censorship OF American
correspondents stories touching on
American foreign relations - censor
ship based on policy, not security.
Probably the worst thing for morale IS
inconsistency, and we have had gooo
bit of that recently. We have heard the
A1lZ1O SlLudGIOI1 UCSCl1UCu Wy AANoANNAAN
Roosevelt as tense. We have been told by
MIR. Churchill that all was going well;
counseled by Secretary of War Stlmson
to keep our shirt on; assured by Gen
eral Alexander that the beachhead IN
vaders would smash through to Rome
without help from the Army at Casino.
In broader field there is General Eisen-
hower's announcement that Germany
will be beaten in 1914 if everyone at home
IS his full part. Field Marshal Dill says,
ictory is certain, but none can estimate
time, the effort or the sacrifice that

What Price Espionage

From Sweden comes word that the
Nazis are offering $3.50 week for male
spies in Denmark, and only $28.95 for
women. This is rude jolt to our treas
ured fancy of European espionage, where
jeWeled Mata Harris lure men and coun-
tries to their doom, risking death for fail
ure but richly rewarded for success. 1t
seems, in fact, direct slap at Hltlers
vaunted Nordic womanhood.
On second thought, however, 1t is even
more of tribute to the spirit OF the
Danish underground 1t is likely that the
Nazis realize that it takes more than
slinky black dress, ropes of pearls, yelled
glances and insinuating wies to entice
the Danish patriot from his duty. What
the job probably needs is strength, endur-
ance and a taste for cold-bloodcdneSs.
And the Nazis seem to be paying accord
ingly.

KENTUCKY COP FEUD
Kentucky Republicans, who got
the political spotlight of the ma
ton for electing COP governor
last November, are about to split
wide open. 1t is partly over an
issue packed with dynamite in
other COP states - namely, iso-
lation.
The isolationist issue came to
a head in Kentucky when GER
tain COP leaders invited the
Chicago Tribune'S isOlationist
Colonel RO5er: Mccormick to
speak in Paducat. He came.
And a terrific battle regarding
him ensued among Republicans.
Meanwhile, anoth resplit, based
not on isolation but personalities,
threatens the advantage gained by
the Republican victory last year.
COP Governor Simeon Willis is
breaking with Jouett Todd, Louis
vile Republican county chairman,
to support Jim Parks of Lexing-
ton as the candidate to run against
Democratic Senator Barley.
Friends of Todd are boiling

Congress Is Itself Again

The resignation of Senate Majority
Leader Alben w. Barley is but the be-
ginning of a congressional instruction
which threatens to blow the lid right off
the Capitol dome in Washington. Com
ing as it does at a time when the So-called
New Dealers if ever are most desperately
in need of harmony. 1t threatens also to
knock the prospects of a successful
fourth-term campaign into the proverblal
cocked-hat.
However, sooner or later, what hap
pened yesterday was bound to occur,
namely, a split between the executive
and lawmaking branches of government.
The executive branch for the past eleven
years has been riding high, wide and
handsome; in fact, it has been running
the whole show. But of late, especially
since the 1912 elections Congress has re-
gun to take the bit in it's mouth in an
effort to regain some of this lost prestige.
Yesterdays blow-off was the elimination
of years of executive oppression and
domination.
That what happened yesterday will be
the end of CONGRESSES effort to assert
itself is greatly to be doubted; intact, 1t
looks, from remarks of many OF Senator
BarkleyS colleagues as if it was only the
beginning We can appreciate the PreSl-
dents earnest appeal to Senator Barley
to reconsider his resignation in view OF
the political recriminations it is bound to
bring in it's wake But we are afraid 1t
is too late. The fat, as they say, is in the
fire. What comes of it remains to be
seen.

It is strange, and encouraging

He seems to have the same emo

he behaves the way he does, is

not likely to perish for want of
food or the presence of disease, yet
no scientific discovery can save
mankind from the ravages of hatred
and misunderstanding. And that Is
what comes of failure to know this
other fellow.
The thing we call civilization Is
not a science at all. 1t is an art,
the art of living together 1t was
practiced, and practiced well, long
before man had gadget to call
his own.
Nothing could be more dreary
and pointless than a world OF
streamlined efficiency in which
people no longer cared for one
another, thought about one another,
believed in and trusted one naother
This is why the other fellow and
his troubles can not be wished away

STEEL-WAGE DISPUTE
Woodworking Will Davis, chair
man of the War Labor Board, had
a tough time selecting panel to
settle the vital question of wages
in the steel industry. He proposed
a panel of three, one representing
labor, one the steel industry, one
the public, with three alternates.
But though he called up all sorts
of people and literally begged them
to serve, their patriotism seemed
deficient, when it comes to labor
disputes. The panel of six men
finally selected will begin hearings
soon.
Meanwhile, the steel companies,
faced with retroactive pay for
whatever wage decision is finally
handed down, are getting rest

I do believe and teach that most

cate the practice of keeping sup

the adults in the family.
Now If some employer hands out
a capsule containing these, as well
as vitanin A, vitamin G, vitamir
E, ETC., it may serve as well, but IL
is of course more costly.
Another notion that seems to pre-
vail among the Wiseacres is that
vitamins make you grow fat If you
don't watch out. There Is as much
sense in this notion as there is in
the idea that spinach by the peck

It is true that many underweight
individuals can gain NEEDED flesh If
they supplement their ordinary diet

strength and good looks if they sup
