The Chain-Utter short cut to a lalnbow In every back yard, la now weeping the city like wildfire, only wildfire would be arrested for going too alow and Impeding proeperity. jw people never had the flu. Fewer than that have not written a chain letter, and dug up a dime and a 3c tamp aomehow. the last week. 35c and a little faith U all that la re quired to land In the suburbs of a financial Heaven. All the old fashioned methods of gettlng-rlch quick are like unto laat year's bird nest. The moths are nesting in the slot machines, with a fe old die hards playing poker, pinochle and bridge. There hss not been so much excitement about anything since the home-grown revolution. To msny the postofflce looks like a mint. A stranger waa Impounded yester day for too much mental enthusiasm over chain letters. He regarded them sa a menace to the U. B. monetary system, and had a cure, which he revealed as follows: "The way to stop this chain-letter monkey business, la to tear them up aa fast aa you get them, and keep the dime." He la crazy. It la said. The Chain-Letter plan Is simple, with the noble purpose of restoring economic stability, neighbor). ntfl. and happier days. The victim malls five letters, and a dime to the party whose name lends all the rest. Lot and this happens, the letter slates: "In turn, as your name leaves tin top, you will receive 15,835 letters au.ounting to aiftOS.SO. is THIS WORTH A DIME?" In response to the query, It moat certainly Is. There are conservative bankers who will Hive HACK) for 166360 any day. On top of that, when the deal la completed, they will come out of the state saloon, with something under their coat for the party of the first part. It la dif ficult to get around that kind oi logic. The Inventor Is offered a 10c. a 35c, a 50c. and a 1 chain letter. In the lower a mounts, the writer undergoes a beautiful renewal of faith In human nature, with the slogan, "In God We Trust." The ll variety subscribers feel there Is some frailty left In the human soul, snd exprcsaes It In a bailie cry, sa fol lows : "IN OOD WE TRUST . . . BUI NOT EACH OTHER." The tra nsac lion is co ndu oted o r. a strictly business hi is, and no chances are taken on anybody for getting to null the letter. This cyni cal view of a brother's honesty, is nH carried to the point of assaying the dollar wnh the teeth, to aee It u lead. Thai would indicate lack of faith, and netghborllnes nvvt a-r.noyn.g. and break the chain Experts lift the enthusiasm for the chain-letters, as Symptomatic of the Depression." It had to blamed on something. It could not be attributed to the Ingrained Hu man trick of taking money away from each other. That neither sounds plcusant. nor looks rosy.

A Cheering Sign CAN it be that pounding the table and yelling "down with the power trust", is slipping aa a sure-fire vote getter in this state! The result of the election in Klamath Falls yesterday would indicate it. Mayor Mahoney whose meteoric rise to political power in this state was largely due to his clever capitalization of popular feel ing against the light and power companies, relied upon this familiar demagogic appeal to put over his proposed million dollar bond issue for a new municipal water system, the pres ent one -being owned by the California-Oregon Power company. The two Klamath papers who dared to oppose the mayor's proposal, were the mayor declaimed, owned body and soul, by the iniquitous Copco, and in their opposition were merely echo ing their master's voice. O 0 INSTEAD of ignoring this time honored wheeze, which had been his policy in the past, Frank Jenkins, publisher of the Klamath papers in a front page editorial struck back at His Honor, with both barrels, and bluntly told him "to put up or shut up." Posting $500 in cash, as a forfeit, the Klamath editor agreed to devote this sum, either to charity or to the mayor, if the latter would present one scintilla of evidence to support his false and libellous accusation. Needlesa to say the mayor presented no such evidence. He didn't put up and for the nonce (marvel of marvels!) he had to shut up. His time honored power trust bluff had been called. JUST how much this journalistic coup d'etat, just before the election, had to do with the result, we don't know, but we surmise a great deal. At any rate a week before election, even the mayor's opponents predicted he would win this time, as he always had before; but when the votes were counted, he lost out. over two to one I WHICH is all to the good. Not that the Mail Tribune is in any position to judge, whether the voting of a new million dollar water system for Klamath Falls would have been a good or a bad thing. Medford has such a system, it has been an out standing success in every way, city wouldn't give it up for many times a million dollars. Tlint isn't the point. It is up to the people of Klamath Falls, not the people (or the newspapers) of this city to decide what is, or isn't best, for the city on the lake, at the present time. BUT the defeat of this old "army game" of hoodwinking and nrnlftifinw tli vntpro Kv rlncMllff thfl hflni70e on tlio nflir.r trust bugaboo, whenever this into office, or put over some and wholesome thing. Once convince the politicians, done along this line, that the people after all, can no longer be herded hither and yon like a band of bewildered sheep, merely by raising the cry of "power trust wolf", and a great advance toward political snnity and common sense in this state will have been made. Lynching Is Uphe Ml K N astounding thing happened in congress recently, which has not received the attention it deserves. A measure proposing a federal statute against lynching was defeated by a filibuster, engineered largely by senators from below the Mason and Dixon line. The bill was endorsed by the administration. There was nothing in any sense unusual or radical about it. It merely fol lowed the line of the federal law against kidnaping, allowing the government to get after lynchers, when for any reason, the state refused to do so. Moreover the measure was so sane, and would so appeal to the sense of what is right and decent in this country of ours, that had it ever come to a vote its pns.vae would have been certain. Few senators even frora the south, could have publicly justified their opposition. DUT, so strong is race feeling inbred and ingrained is the only be held in proper subjection by terrorism and fear, that the bill was not only talked to deatli, but senators who endorsed the measure in principle, acquiesced meekly in thin proceeding. ASTOUNDING isn't it J Astounding, that in any country in this day and age, or in any section of it; in any country calling itself civilized there could be any substantial sentiment upholding lawlessness, not only lawlessness but cruelty, barbarism and torture, in any way, shape or form. For that is what lynching is .is everyon knows. Wo fear it clearly demonstrates something is radically wrong s r:i" here. o And it also demonstrates the filil'ister should be removied from the proceedure of the congress, as a weapon of reaction and obstrrction. andibsolutely contrary to all principles of a free democratic government.' mo PMl PflMIIQ I UII U..U UI'IUJU EXPECTED SOON 1 Continued from Page One) days allowTd by the constitution for action on the bill.

IN HE OF PEACE ENGLSHSLOGAN Active Preparations Being Made to Protect Popula tion From Attacks Gas Proof Shelters Plan By Gavle Talbot tONDON (AP) Peaceful England, a wary ear cocked on the aaber rattllng across the narrow channel, la making active preparations In tht3 Jubilee year to protect her population from gaa attacks. Rcent elaborate defense drills cen tering about the great Chlaelhurst Caves, a short distance from London, supplied authorities with data from which a country-wide protective scheme will be worked out. While the movement la not being conducted with the fervor that has marked, the efforts of European neighbors to make their people "gas horror" conscious, John Bull Is. nevertheless, getting out hi gas masks and looking the problem in the eye. Roonn .Made Gas-Proof Articles have begun to appear al most dally In the London papers, de scribing in detail how ordinary rooms may be rendered gas-proof and pre scribing simple, easily obtainable remedies for victims of mustard and phosgene gafes. Sqtiads of workers are being train ed to call upon million of home owners and give quiet demonstra tions of gas-proofing. The first of the.se units participated in the sham attack on Chlslehurst and learned to treat "victims" while planes droned overhead and the air was filled with yellow smoke. The huge caves, which extend miles un derground and were used In the world war as a munitions storehouse, were elaborately equipped for the trial, even to a decontaminating bath. London's underground stations and similar refuges throughout England would be similarly equipped in case of war. -It was found the entrances to such subterranean sheltra could be made absolutely gas-proof. I p and Down Debate Incidentally, an argument Is brew ing between those favoring under ground refuges from gas. which in cludes the government, and certain experts who are Just aa positive a person should climb, and climb fast. "The Bafest shelter in the event of an air raid Is an ordinary room ren dered gas-proof, on or above the sec ond floor." said Major H. S. Black more, an expert on poison gas, In lec turing the British Red Cross society. "A heavy cloud of gas tend to dis perse 20 feet above ground level. "People who rush Into tubes or dug-outs will not be so safe as those who go quietly upstairs to the anti gas sitting room." ministration for having proposed tt. This riles other members of the sub committee who squirm In their chairs and keep silent with difflcul ty. They realize this Is the Glass Inning and thpy will have theirs later when they outvote him. Great Britain's diplomatic antics lately have caused some authorities to surmise that she will abandon her traditional position as the bal ance of power In Europe. None of the state department authorities here have been fooled Into that as sumption. The real reasoning behind current British policy is the same which has motivated her for centuries. She wants to keep any single group of powers from becoming too strong in Europe and thus threatening her own position. The defiant German submarine and airship policy has forced Britain to let Hitler think she Is abo't to Join forces with France and Russia Au thentic diplomatic advices here say her purpose is to try to get Hitler back Into the family of nations with some reasonable evidence of his sin cere desire to Jln in a peace agree ment. Once that evidence Is forthcoming. Brltair will move right over to Ger many's side and stnrt championing Hitler's equality cf rights.

I have seen some of them having the time of their lives. I got four of the letters, had one of them typed out. sent two dimes away to California and intended to send out at least two of my groups, but I find people Just loaded up with them and thy do not want more. I wanted to give mine away yes terday, but the first person was gov ernment employed and keeps out for fear of a kick from higher up; tha second person thought it a lot of foolishness and the third person ha3 the general sentiment and so here our tnlk: "Hello. Irish, had any dims li ters?" "My gosh, yes." "Want any more?" No." "I'll mall you one." "Don't you dare." "I jot four of tttem and I'll mail you one of each." "I'll murder you if you do." This craze brings a lot of fun feff some. Just pure fun; then the nexV reaction Is the gambling Instinct but Just for the kick of it; next comm a possibility that they might get something out of it and then the pure greed and this last sentiment Is Just disgusting.
