Farm Prosperity
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Americas farmer the U. S. Department of Com believes, will continue prosperous until well into 1948" After that the department says there is assurance that the present high levels of prices can be maintained. While this is the prospect authorities state that farmers themselves do much maintain prosperity for a longer time.
 The farmers ability to purchase items which the city worker manufactures of the greatest guards against general unemployment and depression. On our farms live approximately 25.000000 persons-a considerable percentage of total population In times such these with income good these 25,000- 900 individuals in the market for many things which Cney purchase sparsely-or not at all-when farm prices at the bottom of the barrel They buy extra shoes, second automobile new tractors; they into the village movie often take long vacation jaunts which they can't afford in slack seasons They become, in short, of the lands greatst buying groups Their buying is reflected of course, in virtually every manufacturing plant in the country in the form of available jobs
 But when prices begin to lag, the farmer is among the first to curta his buying. He has seen good times and bad for generations He knows that de- pressons usually reflected first in lowering values for agricultural output Often, by being overly penurous he has hastened and aggravated depressons
 In view of this fact, the Department of Com merces warning follows, seems sensible:
 Best insurance of continued farm prosperity lies in adequate number of jobs in industry for the farm population and continued business prosperity with high level of wages that the people may continue to buy farm products"

WATER COMPANY FRANCHISE

We call our readers attention to statement Of the City Council appearing another page of this issue of The Empire The electors of Juneau asked to vote tomorrow upon ordinance granting
 new franchise to Richard F. Lewis, operating under the name Juneau Water Company. The provisions contained in this new franchise published in The Empire early in June Copies of the ordinance have been posted for the past six weeks at the Federal Building City Hall and Territorial Building in accord ance with the and in order to give the voters full notice of its contents.
 Mir Lewis, operating the Juneau Water Con- pany been furnishing the City and the people of Juneau with water for many years The water is good; lOOq pure according the frequent tests that have been made. The water systems has been well managed and there has been practically no complaint of the service for more than ten years. The new franchise is requested because the term of the old one has expired. The ordinance, passed unanimously by the City Council June 2, extends the franchise for another period of twenty years but it contains some new provisions which are greatly to the ad- vantage of the City and its inhabitants. There is provision for the payment of Sl00 a month to the City and option to purchase the system has been obtained by the Council at less than the Black and Veatch appraisal.
 As disclosed by the Black and Veatch report re- gently made the expense of the City, the investment in the plant and system has been large much larger than is generally known To operate the system efficiently and keep up with the increasing demands for service requires constant capital investment The City of Juneau and it's inhabitants must have the service the company is rendering and the company

TRUMAN'S RED FEATHER

It has been long time since the face of l1-year-old Sigrid Stengel, German war refugee, has lit up as 1t did when she visited the White House the other day.
 You wouldn't have thought that such pretty and poised little girl could have known the horrors of war. 5he wo,c blue cotton dress and looked Ike any little American girl as ske pinned red feather on President Truman symbolizing the start Of the Community Chest Drive.
 It has been five years since Sig rid saw her Jewish parents taken away by s S men in southern Ger many. Later her older sister also disappeared" Now Sigrid is living with a cousin in Washington.
 Three otlier children who have been aided by the Community Chest accompanied Miss Beatrice Hodgson, 2 Chest official, as Sigrid

TRUMAN STICKS WITH OPA

Three farm officials, Albert s. Goss, master of the National Council ot Farmer Cooperatives, came away fcom a White House conference with a 5O-50 score the other day
 Truman agreed with them that one agricultural expert should be among the three members of the Economic Council to be set up un- der the Eli Employment Act. But he disagreed when Grange boss Cess tried to convert him on the OPA.
 I don't want you to think I'm slipping, MT President grinned the farm leader as the meeting was about to break up. Every time we meet, We discuss a certain subject. So if came here today and didn't mention it, you'd probably think something Was wrong"
 "Ah-the OPA," guessed Truman immediately. What have you got on your mi.ld?"
 Goss replied that he still had hopes of cUny erting the President to the idea that maximum produc- tion could only be achieved by re- laxing price controls.
 My organization wants to see OPA continued said the Grange leader, "but with limitations that will enable the farmer to produce more"
 Goss contcnded that the shortage of fertilizer was attributable to price ceilings, also that much of the last hay crop was lost because of the delay in granting baling wire manufacturers a price boost to encourage Wire production.
 Truman replied that he had heard the same arguments many times before and that he realized OPA's agement had not been 100 percent perfect However, he said he had not changed his posi- ton one icta from the views set

Light On REC
(St. Louis Star -Timesl

No complete determination of the amounts actually invested in the individual plant projects has been made by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, says the General Accounting Office and accurate determination has been possible under the accounting methods employed" Succinctly this con- firms what many in Washington have long believed that the REC books not in what anyone could term easily readable condition.
 In large measure any confusion that may exist is understandable. This Hoover-created corporation designed to bail business out from ar-bankruptcy has grown large it's transactions become so com plcated that double entry has seemed suf- ficent to keep it straight For years the agency has been spelling for thorough investigation complete overhauling.
 Actually there was much talk of probe when President Roosevelt summarily fired Jones the cabinet and from his post at the head of REC Somehow the intention drowned in the raucous babble of personalities Now the investigation should be made quickly in justice both to those charged with administration of the unweldy agency and, more fundamentally to the taxpayer who foots the bill

posite things When he was head of the Federal Communications Commission he barred the Pot Of Gold" program from the air be- cause it was a lottery Now he is attorney for the Pot of Gold.'
 This week, Fly has turned anoth- CT unique somersault. AS EGG Chairman, he was strong against granting radio licenses to newspa- pers. He dl3 not believe in monop- olies of opinion. Also Fly's best friend for twelve long years hap pened to be Franklin Roosevelt. Tn! late President elevated him from a lowly lawyer to various po- sitions of trust and power.
 This week, however, Fly is acting as attorney for John Ewing, Loui- siana newspaper and radio opera tor, who was one of FDR's bitter est enemies in the South. Ewing helped lead the move to steal Roos- evelt electors in the electoral col lege. He owns the Shreveport Times, the Monroe, La, Morning World and tke Monroe NeWs-Star, station KTHS in Hot Springs, Ark, and lists himself as owning sta tions KTBS and KWKH in Shreve- port.
 The latter of these is one of the most powerful in the country-50,- 000-watt station in New Orleans, and is boasting that with the in- fluential Larry Fly behind him he will get il. It will be interesting to see if FCC members bow before their former chairman.

 The matter of rates is not involved in the fran chse The law gives the City the right at all times to fix and regulate rates and to make such changes from time to time conditions may warrant.
 Unquestonably the voters of Juneau will vote overwhelmingly for the franchise. Good faith and common honesty require as much.

 Mir Truman thanked her, then reached up as if to remove the feather
 Don't yor want to wear it?" asked Miss Hodgson.
 "Oh, yes," replied Truman. T was thinking"
 Miss Hodgson had the same thought. "Sigrid," she aske d. wouldn't you like to have that feather as souvenir?"
 Yes. I'd love it."
 All right Sigrid," said the Presi- dent, you can have it. But since you pinned the feather on me you'll have tC unpin it."

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 The stars are friendly to house. wives and all others whose duties are in the home Only routine work ! is recommended under this config- luration.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 That large quantities of goods in short supply have been held in warehouses waiting for higher prices seems to be an accepted fact. What is needed in Congress is a consumer bloc and there are signs that, in one form or another, such a force may materialize.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Compulsory health insurance is not only a possibility but a prob ability, despite the efforts of in dividuals and groups to defeat such a program at any cost The battle may not be won quickly, but there are ample signs indicating that ul- timately the opposition will be ,overrun.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Germany is under unfavorable influences and will not be able to fulfill her obligations as defeat ed nation until the Allies are agreed upon a fair and reasonable man agement of her affairs Conflict ing policies in the several zones of occupation are largely responsible for the state of unrest in Germany today.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of satisfying progress in major in terests with an unexpected and wholly pleasant surprise before next birthday
 Children born today are endowed with many talents and virtues and should achieve early success in their chosen fields.
