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"?"

National Marketing System
Held Means To Give
Equality To Agriculture
F. D. 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.

BERLIN. Sept. 17. (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.

that on June 4. there were 32.000

Although a meeting of representa

county met In Medford Thursday
ntgM and endorsed C. E. ( Pop)
Gates as county Judge, Med ford's for

missloner had not made up his mind
to make the race last night, and
said on advice of friends he waa
withholding his decision over the

Last night a group of enthusiastic
Gates supporters met Informally and
decided to take the bull by the horns
and start the circulation of Pop's
petitions In certain sections of the
county Monday,
They are confident there will be
such a popular reaction to this
move, and so many signatures can
be secured In a few hours' work,
that they can convince their candl
date that t,ho demand from all classes
and both major parties is so strong
that his acceptance la nothing short
of a public obligation,
According to Pop's supporters,
the re is no popular enthusiasm for
any of the three present candidates
for this position. Earl Fehl, Repub
Mean nominee; W. H. Phlpps, the
Democratic, or A. W. Pipes, running
on an Independent ticket. Nor Is
there any widespread demand for any
fourth candidate other than Pop. In
surveys made In various part of
the county made since O. E. Gates'
name was first presented, scores of
people .have declared Pop Is the man
who can win, and the man who can
harmonize the various conflicting
factions that are disrupting the
county, and thus get southern Ore
gon united and hitting on high once
more.
His remarkable record as mayor of
Medford, when he pulled the city
out of debt and a depression far
more serious locally than the pres
ent one and placed It on Its finan
cial feet, la taken as convincing evi
dence that he la the one man best
qualified to do the same for Jackson
county at the present critical time,
reduce taxes and socurw harmony"
and greater efficiency at the county
court house.
In view of the fact that Gates' pe
titions are to be circulated on Mon
day, it Is not believed there will be
any other Independent candidates
entering the race, as the time limit
for filing Is only five days away.

momenta to keep a gallery of 4.000
fans roaring right dowr. to the finish

It was easily the most tense anrf

little nourishment.

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
