ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AUGUST 25 3
(By Leone Baxter)
. Midwest states report a steady dwindling of population
—into the armed forces, into the shipyards, and into the wide_spead war plants of the nation.
As.an industrial nerve cent>~ of the war effort, how has
that exodus from the farm states affected ‘California? What
share of those workers are new citizens here?
A survey of the field. county by county, recently completed by the State Chamber of Commerce, reveals that 15
farming and mining counties have experienced a decrease in
population, too. Small counties in the main, the losses average as hich as 15 ver cent.
But in 43 other counties, the population has catapulted
ahead like a*General Grant tank, denying all obstacles. _ In
creases rance from less than one to-as high as 44 per cent. The
average is 8 per cent increas!
It's‘almost a million ponulation gain for the state as a
whole—all in the covrse of 18 months. and most of it has
come inthe course of the last half of that period.
At first blush. vou'd think such a zoom in the ponulation obviously would create sharp and sudden changes both
economically and politically. That such a huge infiltration of
men and women whnoee interests are centered on their war
jobs rather than on California as 1 place in which they pur
poselv chose to settle and rear their families, would draw its
indelible mark: across the state. That in an election vear, California would be certain to feel the curious effect of hundreds
of thousands of brand new voters—strangers in the land. But
that, it appears, won't happen here. At»least, not this year.
Why? Because the new voters just didn’t register. Not
in numbers sufficient to make their numerical presence keenby felt at the ballot box. As a matter of fact, latest figures, released shortly before the registration offices closed, revealed,
in spite of the tremendous population increase, a general decrease of over . 5 per cent in registration.
Many of the newcomers who haven't registered are in

Travel is always heaviest on week-ends. By

Get full information well in advance of the

The space you reserve on a train is valuable—
too valuable to go unused. If you are forced
to change your plans, please cancel your reservation and turn in your Pullman ticket for

WAGES FACE CEILING
__ President Roosevelt is sending up trial balloons on more
stringent price control legislation and stabilization of wages.
First hints come from a congressman close to the White
House whose name is withheld.
First! reaction is an assertion by President Philip Murray
of the CIO that the fight for higher wages will continue and a
warning that “labor has not yet given up its power to bargain
for a fair living pay.”
Price control is needed to head off inflation of the sort
that financially wrecked Germany after the first World War.
In America the wageearners are making more money than
aver before, while transfer of more than 50 per cent of American industry to war work is creating a shortage of domestic
-onsumer goods. Prices would be skyrocketing today were
not ceilings imposed by the government, and even these are
difficult to maintain with farm representatives in congress
voting to release their products and wage earners clamoring
for hicher pav in the plants still supplying private needs.
Unless a sizeable portion of the wage dollar goes into
taxation to carry on the war effort, the government borrowines will reach such an inflationary stage that financial equilibrium no longer can be maintained. If all-out inflation comes, the higher wages will mean nothing to the people making
them. The wage earners will lose everything they have gained
in the mad scramble to try to maintain an existence in a world
where the dollar no longer has any value and prices skyrocket
to dizzy and impossible heights.
Congressmen have been feuding with Leon Henderson,
the price administrator, and have been refusing him the funds
he seeks to maintain his department and hold down price levels. They are also turning down subsidy funds that’ he has
been asking. These feudists have the support of the farm bloc
congressmen who want to get all they can for the farmers in
the way of prices for their products.
The least talked and most outstanding weakness of the
price control program is the failure to stabilize wages by setting a ceiling on them. The Roosevelt administration has been
reluctant to order wage restrictions during an election year.
but the price control schedule is so rapidly getting out of hand
that an administration spokesman says the president will act
within a fortnight and wage stabilization will be included in
his recommendation to congress. Wage stabilization is a polite
name for wage ceilings. It is the sensible solution in war time,
and the White House at last is coming to recognize that fact
and is taking the necessary steps to do something about it.
Victory is more important than high wages, and unless the
brakes are applied, runaway inflation may bring defeat of the
United Nations in this war.—Sacramento Union. _

f _ No Vacation This Year i
for Your Appliances — 4
“It’s a Wartime Necessity”’
Of course, You and Your Family are going to ease the tension of
these war times with some kind of a vacation this year. It is going
to be good for you and yours to telax and become a world of
your own, apart from the world. But there will be no vacation
for the appliances in your home.
Every one of your appliances will be used more because you
will be at home more these days. You will be taking better care
of your home and its furnishings. That puts wartime duty upon
your washing machine, your range, your vacuum cleaner, your
refrigerator, your iron or ironer.
So it is up to you to keep all of your home appliances running
smoothly and efficiently. They are the mechanized equipment on
the home front. Duration-ize with timely repair.:You will be wise
to do it while factory-made replacement parts are still available.
