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 ~ @e of wartime travel b "Siar ar void week-end. travel Travel is always heaviest on week-ends.

Other new citizens didn’t register for the same lame reasons a lot of old citizens didn't. 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. _ & 4 —< VEST FoR vicros BUY WAR BONDS © STANDS <EGULARLY AND OFTEN! 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.
