What About Streamlined Congress?

Now that the question is settled it might be well if the heard something from the various candidates for Congress about their present feeling toward sonal reorganization.
 There lot of enthusiasm and big vote in favor of the La reorganization bill when it passed the last session. But of the members plous ardor to be cooling
 Old ways of thinking and doing hard to give up And congressman give evidence that they might like to retain of the traditional practices which largely responsible for the sreamning. This to be par tculary true of committees whose membership and par tculary chairmanship carry prestige and patronage
 The LaFoletteMonroney act trimmed the Senate com- mee from B to 1 and those in the House from AS to l9 This is all to the good The old spate of committees was cumbersome inefficient and timeconsuming. But some of the boys to stick the old orse-andbuggy tech niques.
 This apparently would be possible because though the reorganization bill law outgoing Congress may i'm pose its rules it's So apparently the Con- gress could adopt the old rules when meets next January
 There is mutterng about other provisions of the LaFolette Monroney act though of it's reforms are reasonably of adoption-especialy the that congressional salaries from $10,00O to $l5,0OO
 So, since the 79th Congress voted the 80th raise perhaps would be good idea for the asprans to themselves the subject of doing efficient and workmanlike job for their money.

President usually gets the blame It's what Herbert Hoover called his "hair shirt"
 Some months ago there seemed to be an issue in OPA as regards those who looked to Harry Tru- their friend and champion. But 1t has been completely lost in the confusion And along with that confusion more strikes.
 It would seem. backing off and taking a look, that the chief difficulty of the Democrats this year is that they don't know what they stand for There They running a ghost-FD.R.-and on old issues: What FDR. did for the people It was plenty but people have forgotten.
 And the middle classes so many of whom once voted for Mir Roosevelt back in the money again. and disturbed by the rising power of labor Labor is much to blame for the reaction that has set in against it.
 The middle classes can't win an election by them selves. But they contribute heavily, as they will this year There is none pious and respectable those who have returned to responsibility from somewhat different estate They don't want to be reminded of how far they fell
 The Democrats had one splendid issue-foreign affairs. How they missed thSt. and how the Repub- Hcans have used it in their own way to make one of their most effective issues will be discussed subSe quently.

 October 25, 1946 TEACHERS SALARIES COMPARED WITH PINROYS,


 To the Editor of The Democrat:
 Kindly accept my thanks for your editorial of October 22nd, "Educa- tion and Confused Values and for the many others of similar tenor which you have so kindly published. l know that all teachers who have read those expressions of your opin- ion in favor of better pay for teach CTS are sincerely grateful to you
 Most timely and pertinent are your advocacy of Extending more considerate and commensurate treatment toward our teachers" and your statement that, "by main talnlng a low salary schedule we ruin their personal incentive. ."- Verify, it has been done.
 ApropoS and in support of your comment, you may not have mo- ticed that, within one and the same week of this October, (a) this Brass City of the World hired a college trained and experienced teacher for $30,78 per week-the boss daugh- ter, no less; (b a local recreation center advertised for pin boys at about $40 per week.!
 You speak of incentive" and initiative, professional pride, self improvement and all the other such qualities which should characterize a good teacher? Please, MT. Editor! It must make these parsimoniouS anti-teacher taxpayers associations and public expenditure councils rug their palms with greedy glee to read that the Brass Center of the World hires a colege-trained experienced teacher for its children at less than a pin boys wages.
 There's an editorial for you!
 thank you.
 Very truly yours,
 Pro Bono Magistrorum.

Occupy Is Challenged
By t3 in $4,000
Hollywood Race
BY the Assoeioted Press

INGLEWOOD, Calf, July A.
Thirteen horses are going to try
to beat Occupy today in a mile
and one sixteenth race at Holly
wood Park.
Occupy, one of the ranking handi-
cap stars of the Nation, will be
shooting for his third straight VIC
tory since Aaron Hirschberg pur-
chased him in Florida ard brought
him to California for the fat purses
offered at Hollywood Park. The
5-year-old son of Bull Dog and
Miss Bunting has won two $25 5,0OO
purses and is after $4,000 today.
The filly champion of Hollywood
Park, L. B. Mayors Honeymoon, is
entered in the race, listed as the
American Handicap, but there IS
some question whether she will run.
The Mayer stable may let its
chances ride with Be Faithful, a
hard-hitting mare, in light at Ill
pounds against Occupy's 100.
If Honeymoon stays out today,
she'll go after the s25 900 Vanity
Handicap for mares and hllies Sat-
urday.
Biscailuz, the Argentine impoita-
tion, makes his California debut
today. He will be up against such
as Norman Church's Quick Reward,
Warner-Leroy Ranch's Paperboy, A.
E. Silver's Olhaverry. War Allies,
Vanslam, Fred Astaires Early Bird,
Autocrat, Old English, Post Gradu-
ate and Victory Drive.
Post Graduate, representing the
La Favorito Farm, is another light
weight, and with only l07 pounds
may be quite dangerous.
