Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS OLD-TIMERS In Klamath Falls, where these words are written, all know W. A. Delzell although, of course, they refer to him aa Bill; not foramlly as W. A. That simply wouldn't go at all. W. A. Delzell was a resident of Klamath Falls In the years when this town really was different from other towns, and he can tell of those years In a way that Is fascinatingly Inter esting. His present home is In Salem, altho he is known all over the state of Ore gon. And liked by all who know him, Incidentally. MB. Delzell the title Is used apologetically, for It must seem frightfully strange to BUI Delzell to be referred to as Mister he waa the first cashier of the First National Bank of Klamath Falls. He was also postmaster during the only recent Interval when Democrats for Bill Is a Democrat, and one of the bell wethers of the band here in Oregon have had a chance at post masterships, which was during the Wilson administration. BILL came here away back In the early days, as early days go In this town of newcomers somewhere around 1905, to be exact. He came from Oklahoma, and admits that the Klamath Falls of that day looked pretty wild to him when he got In. He came by the old Pokegama route up the narrow gauge rail line with lta little wood-burning engine that Just barely was .able to make the grade. He had with him a setter dog that had been on the train all the way from Oklahoma, without exercise, and as they were coming up the grade Bill had an Inspiration. He put the dog off the car, and it trotted along beside the train, strcchlng Is cramped muscles'. BILL swears that every now and then the dog would trot AHEAD of the train, and. then alt down and wait until It caught up; but as to the accuracy of that statement you will have to be the Judge. TIME went on, and as already re- lated W, A. Delzell became post msstcr of Klamath Falls. And the town grew, and as it grew people be gan to put on airs and demand mod ern conveniences. One of the mod ern conveniences they demanded was house to house delivery of mall, In stead of having to go down to the jostofllce and get It out of a box. But there were obstacles In the way of this ambition. For one thing, the sidewalks weren't laid out on any established grade and there weren't any too many sidewalks, anyway. Where there were walks, they didn't match up Tery well where property lines came together. At least, that is the way Bill tells It, and aa this writer wasn't here at the time Bill s word will have to be taken for it. THEN there was another obstacle. The houses weren't numbered. And the postofflce department, as you know, demands sidewalka and numbered houses before It will estab lish carrier delivery in anybody's town. ONE day a postofflce Inspector drnnned Into town, and Bill Jumped him hard about carrier de livery. "Hell, man," the Inspector la re ported to have answered, "you Van't get carrier delivery here. Why. about every other place hasn't got a side walk, and the sidewalka there are don't match up at the ends, "Then your houses aren't num bered, and you r.aow yourself that you can t get carrier delivery until you have numbered houses so that the carriers can find addresses." IT sounded pretty hard boiled, but it didn't even feaze BUI Delzell. "When are you going to be back here next?" he demanded of the In spector, who replied that he bad to mske a trip out through the Lake view country and that he would drop In on the way back. "All right." Bill told him; "If we have sidewalks and numbered houses when you get back, will you recom mend carrier delivery for Klamath Fall"?"

Has Rail Aid Program ALLENTOWN, Pa., Sept. 17. (AP) Vice resident Curtis today opened the republican campaign In Pennsyl vania by outlining for a large semblage of party workers gathered at Fogelavllle, near here, his plan for a national cooperative system of farm markets. Two hours before Curtis arrived, the republican state committee adopt ed a platform advocating "Immediate repeal of the Volstead act" and "re turn to the states of the power to deal with the liquor question." The nlank declared "that conditions re sulting from the 18th amendment and enforcement laws are intoler able." Curtis declared the "general re vival of business throughout the country Is the best evidence that confidence Is being gradually restor ed." Curtis confined himself to a pre pared address on agriculture and the tariff. Discussing the agricultural problem he said: 'The republican party wishes to solve it and is anxioua to bring the farmer into a situation of equality with industry. One of the problems is to reduce the spread between what the producer on the farm receives and what the ultimate consumer pays for such products. Another is to provide the farmers with better marketing fa cilities. "I have for years believed a na tional cooperative system would help solve the problem and I still believe such a system, properly organized and conducted, would enable the farmer to get a better price for Is product and at the same time do no injury to those who deal honestly in the buying and selling of farm pro ducts, while protecting the farmer against those who will not give them a square deal." Curtis made two references to Gov ernor Roosevelt's speech on the farm problem in Topeka, Kans., the vice president's home town. He said that the democratic presidential candidate had submitted no farm relief pro gram, but referred to several that had been discussed for years and then left them for further discussion. He also declared "the governor is mis taken about the effect of the Mc Cumber act on our foreign trade." MORMON TABERNACLE, Bait Lake City, Sept. 17. (AP) Before a crowd that packed into every avail able sent of the historic meeting house of the Latter Day Saints, Franklin D. Roosevelt said tonight that the government should co-operate with the railroads to work out a national transportation policy and encourage that growth and expan sion most healthful to the general welfare. The crowd cheered frequently as the Democratic presidential candi date outlined a seven -fold program which he said comprised the trans portation policy of the Democratic party, x Mr. Roosevelt put the policy brief ly In closing: "Avoid financial excesses, adjust plant to traffic; co-ordinate all car rier service; above all, serve the pub lic )asonably, swiftly and well." A portion of the difficulties, ,he attributed to less regulated motor competition and a. part to what he termed unreasonable competition among the railroads themselves. "It Is necessary that each rail ser vice should fit Into and be co-ordinated with other rati services and with other forms of transportation," he said. B a. usmess eer CHICAGO.

(AP) For the fifth time since March Germany waa plunged Into a campaign tourmoil to day when the cabinet ordered new reichstag elections for November a. A government spokesman expressed the opinion that the result of the voting probably would not be strik ingly different from the result of July 31, when no single party succeeded In obtaining a majority of the seats In the legislature. Despite this prediction, govern ment circles were gratified with the turn event have taken, aa the mem bers elected In November will not be called Into session before December and so the Von Papen ministry will have time to get started on its pro gram of reconstruction, . An authorized commentator said the government hoped that failure of the new elections to produce a legislature capable of constructive work would demonstrate there was urgent need of constitutional re form. A new constitution probably will be drafted shortly and In due course will be submitted to popular vote. The reichstag elected July 31 was dissolved by Chancellor Von Papen Monday. The dissolution decree was not read xintll after the members had overwhelmingly voted non-confl-denco In the Von Papon government, but the chancellor refused to be bound by that vote, contending that he had not been recognized when he rose to present .his decree before the vote was taken. Among the constitutional changes that have been advocated by Chan cellor Von Papen are the establish ment of an upper chamber of the legislature similar to the United States senate and a revision of Vie system of representation which would make reichstag members responsible to specific voting districts.

It Is significant that on June 4. there were 32.000 veterans In the camps and on July 37 there were only fl.OOO.

Will- ROGERS 3ays: BEVERLY I1IIXS, Cal., Sept. 1(3. Roosevelt got into the fnrm relief business. They all do now. Nobody can promise the farmer whether his wheat or potatoes will sell for a nickle or a dollar. Supply and demand and not a political spenker determines that. The only relief you can give the farmer is through his taxes. Work it like income tax. If he makes it he pays on it and if he don't make it he don't pay. A thousand shares of stocks or bonds make nothing, you pay nothing. But a thousand acres of land you pay enough to sup port half the community who own no land and pay no taxes. But the farmer will spend the rest of the fall just running from one speaker's platform to another listening to schemes to relieve him of nothing but his vote. Yours, GARNER'S MOTHER AT DEATH'S.
