Truman Asks People
To Help Legislative
Program In Congress

President Truman last Thursday
night appealed to the people by radio
to put the heat on Congress for strike
legislation and other measures which
he said are designed to avert eco
monte "disaster"
He gave a bIistcring indictment of
Congress for it's record of inaction on
postwar domestic legislation and
asked the people to join in protesting
this lack of accomplishment and in
demanding performance.
He demanded legislation setting up
fact-finding boards for major indus
trial disputes. Strikes would be bar
red for thirty days while the boards,
equipped with power to examine en-
ployers' books, made their inquiry.
He urged anew the so-callcd full
employment bill, greater unemploy-
mcnt compensation, extended author
ity to impose price controls, perm
anent Fair Employment Practices
Commission, and higher minimum
wages.

Emeric Dusic, shipping officer; Merle
Frantz, public education officer.
Mr.. Frantz said all churches, schools
and civic organizations in the Oakland
community are being invited to par
ticipate. He said the committee was
Of the opinion that the greatest prob
lem in making the collection a success
was in awakening the people to the
critical need of this campaign. Ac-
cording to the committee, unless the
duoId VI OllS otl IIClt VI ClOlIHlS per
person was met, many persons over
seas would die from exposure to the
elements.
The committee is urging every citi-
zen to contribute to the limit of his
ability, and the members advise that
to disregard this appeal may mean
death to a fellow being across the sea
Mr.. Frantz said the movement had
the enthusiastic support of Mayor
Lawrence M. Fralev. In discussing the
drive with committee members, he
said he felt that success in the col
lection was of utmost importance and
that he was ready and willing to help
in every way to insure success.
He declared he felt sure the citi-
zens of the Oakland community would
more than do their part as they have
repeatedly done in similar drives.
The Oakland Girl Scouts will con-
duct a house to house collection on
Saturday of this week. All disable ar
ticles of clothing, shoes or bedding
are needed. Mr. Frantz asked that per-
sons get their contributions ready and
send them to the nearest collection
depot or hold it and collectors would
pick them up.

Mho Mo~la Pay? i.

When President Truman asserted that wages paid
of earnings and that facdng boards should have the legal
right to examine books of employers he saying
that wages must be based liability pay which measured
by the earnings of a company.
Should that economic aacy be enacted into law by Congress-
its damaging effects would be felt by every small businessman and
finally, by every farmer, every consumer in the land
Benefits of increased industrial efficiency would be passed
along small group Of workers. instead the public in the
form of lower prices.
Labor itself would be hurt, because-under the formula
wage rates would be reduced when earnings declined.
Fundamentally would undermine system of political and
Freedom because competition would be eliminated and
there would cease to that creation growth
and small enterprise which essential to progress and the
provision of jobs for all who want to work.
Our traditional policy has been to base upon liability
pay measured by productivity Under that SYSTEM
have quadud during the past so earshous of work have
been reduced by one third.
Congress- which closer the facts and the people
who would pay in the end will have much to say here.

The annual laying of the levy has
not been completed, the commissioners
expecting to finish this work prior to

cation whether the county tax rate
for 1916 would be $150 the same as
last year, or whether it would be de-
creased or increased.
Additional levies must be made this

passed by the legislature, but there
were those around the Court House
who felt that some Tightening up in
other appropriations could be made
to even up the increases.
A report was being prepared by J.
Edward Helbig, county treasurer,
showing how much taxes were re-
ceived during the year and just how
much was still owing in back accounts,
but the totals on this were not going
