Trailer Camp Symbol For Migrant Labor STILLWATER (UP) The American people would do well to revise their opinion of trailer camps, Dr.
0. D. Duncan, head of the department of sociology and rural life at Oklahoma A. and M. College, said this week.
Duncan said the trailer camp has become a symbol for migrant labor, and he sees in this migration a bright side. "Migrations are caused, by one thing, and one That is a plain, honest search for opportunity. And the migrants, themselves, seem to be the people who are in a position to profit by such opportunities as may be available to people who know how and are eager to work with their hands for a he said. Migration, he said, is an economic and social necessity. "A migratory population is a necessity for national defense and will be our most important single source of national economic and social equilibrium when the war effort has ended and we shall have again turned our minds and hands to the problems of national peace time reconstruction," Duncan said.
Misconceptions about trailer camps, Duncan attributed to two causes: The belief that all, people who live in trailers are bums, adventurers, writers or well-to-do vacationists. 2. The normal reaction of fear of strangers. Pointing out that most persons who live in trailers do so to meet living costs, Duncan said that migrant labor supply at the present time springs from three sources. These are workers previously ployed, workers recently losing employment because of priorities in defense and war manufacturing, and farm labor lured from agriculture by prospect of high wages in industry.
"This has raised a possible danger of throwing agricultural and defense projects into direct competition with each other for labor," he said. "It should be said that the displacement of workers in ordinary peace time industries by transferring them to temporary war industries will be the beginning of many difficulties which we shall surely encounter in post-war reconstruction.

W.
KAYSER Editor of the Chickasha Star What Price Cheap Power? Prime argument for public ownership of electrie plants is "lower rates." The agitation for power socialism always holds out rosy promises of the great rate reductions that may be expected once the people vote themselves into debt for a public electric system. However, save for a few very rare exceptions, these promises are almost never fulfilled. The rate advantage, as a rule, actually rests with the private utilities, An excellent statistical example of that recently came from California. The principal private utility in that state pays 21.9 cents out of every dollar it collects, in taxes. If it were ta as are governmentowned utilities, it thus could immediately reduce its rates 21.9 per cent without affecting its net revenues.
What is true in California is true elsewhere. The rate advantage possessed by problicly-owned utilities throughout the country is, only too often, a fake, and exists only because they are tax-subsidized. In other words, municipal utilities are generally given costly "free" services by city governments which must also be paid for by all the local taxpayers. The private electric industry of this country has given us the cheapest power and the best and most widespread service known in the world. PUBLIC UTILITIES ARE AMONG THE NATION'S LARGEST TAXPAYERS SOUTHWESTERN LIGHT POWER COMPANY "A Citizen and a Taxpayer".
