F. was a sad occasion, what a trimming the Pelicans gave the Med ford Tigers, with the largest and huskiest high school football squad we have ever seen. Since then, we are informed, most of those boys have gone to war. Well, the present state of the war certainly indicates it. But Klamath Falls, It Is very apparent, still Is getting the breaks. We have Just returned from an open-air jaunt up the Main Stem, and never saw more convincing evidences of pro gress and prosperity. Marines from the "Barracks" and trim, snappy aviators from the big naval air base nearby fine, keen, young-looking chaps, mingle with the well-dressed local gentry and gentresses, soft-drink bars being better patronized than the hard-drink ones, another big improvement! We could not help but think of "General" Jackson, and how he would kick himself for the fact Medford failed to get what Klamath has recpived In the way of war's "unearned Increment." And sensitive and conscientious as the "General" is, he would no doubt blame the C. of C. and executive and indlspensible spark But let us hasten to reassure Neither the Klamath Falls individuals In this community, through solicitation, political pres sure wire-pulling or what have you, can take credit for these two I Important war assets. (At least that is our information and from a very reliable source.) In fact, construction work had started on both before the peo ple of Klamath Falls knew anything about either. The army and navy made the decisions, Klamath Falls didn't go out and get the two projects, Klamath Falls merely accepted them and with thanks! (That was also true of Camp White and Medford, as we pointed out at the time, but no one then believed it. In fact, where the army and navy are concerned we have about come to the conclusion that super-salesmanship, solicitation and pressure of any kind, but particularly of a POLITICAL nature, may do more harm than good.) Far better let nature (and the war services) take their coursel But this Isn't a sight-seeing tlon trip of the local O. S. C. set-up, by an official group from the college, and representatives of State Board of Higher Education, and only returned a short time ago from the final survey trip. It was hot and dusty, not as MUCH. I But as usual that old law of ath lacks In "dustless" hard-surfaced and gravel "feeder" roads, j it makes up in water, with which to wash the dust down and off. Water, water, water, you should see the irrigation canals I and lakes around here and get an Idea of the daily run off. The problem is not, as In the Rogue j but not to get too much. In short, proper drainage is probably j Problem No. 1 on a majority of the local ranches, Whew-wl what a deluge of figures and facts! They started .when we visited the extension service headquarters in the Post , Office building at 9 o'clock this morning and have been coming In ever since. And no hot air facts, cash register entries, results not in pipe dreams or col ored pamphlets, but in sacks of and cents! In fact, It Is rather difficult to avoid somewhat extravagant language In describing what the college, in cooperation with the local ranchers and county officials, and of course the progressive people of Klamath Falls In giving these groups their moral and financial support to cite one example may give some lng about. It was the last potato tract visited several miles south of the city. Two or three years ago this tract was so run down and weed infested that the owner could not pay the taxes on it and It was going to the county. Instead of selling the property on the court house steps, however, the county officials made a deal with the farmer, whereby the latter, with the aid of County Agent Hen derson, and his assistants, was to eradicate the weed infestation through an extended smother-cropping program, return the tract to the tax rolls, by paying what amounted at the time to annroxi- mately $20 an acre. In about two methods developed at the college, soil brought up to normal, and in will harvest a potato crop, which at prevailing prices, not only will net him a wonderful profit but this land that was only worth $20 an acre two years ago. Is worth at least $150 an acre now! And that Is not C. of C. promotion. that is a FACT! And, as before stated, that is only one Item among a multitude of them. The brg point Is this: Because of the cutting off of timber In the Klnmnth area, the rnnspnnrmt lnsti nf tnvpa. thp fnrf thnt nhnnt thing radical HAD to be done. Well, something radical was done! And It added up to this: Turning Klamath from an exclusively timber and cattle country. Into a timber, cattle AND productive and prosperous AGRICULTURAL country, making the volcanic ash produce and putting it back on the tax rolls. This "potato patch" Incident above, we repeat Is only one ex ample of how this miracle was performed. and it was (or so im pressed the undersigned) something of a miracle. .

R.W.R. Letter From Washington Br HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member of .Congress From Oregon Washington, D. C, Sept. 2 (Special Correspondence) After next week there will be no busi- : ness transacted by this session of congress until November. Wheth er or not there will be a formal recess, or what they call three- day recesses is not yet deter mined. But the fact is that when the conference reports on the surplus property bills and on the reconversion bills are brought in and finally approved, that will end legislative business until af ter election.. The conference com mittees are working on these two bills, and It Is generally be lieved they will be ready for final consideration during the coming week. IN the framing of both of these pieces of legislation the sur plus disposal bill and the recon version bill there has been an under-the-surface conflict in con gress. The democrats, and more especially the New Dealers In the congress, have been anxious to uphold the hand of the Roose velt administration by legalizing with acts of congress many of the special war agencies created by executive order under the war powers conferred upon the president. This same idea has prevailed before. The War Labor Board was legalized by the War Labor Disputes Act. The Fair Employment Practices commit tee was more or less recognized as a legal entity by language In corporated In a recent appropria tion bill. Many of us, however, feel that the elaborate and confusing ar ray of war agencies, in many in stances applied in layer upon layer of authority so that the discovery of the final and actual authority is sometimes next to Impossible, but has been sound in practice. Though excusable on an emergency basis, such gov ernment organization should not be tolerated In peace time. The surplus disposal bill was not too objectionable from this point of view, but the reconversion bill is. It will provide a super-agency over other agencies and the final result will be quite similar to the present war agency set-up except this new super-agency will be a creature created by the congress. The genera! objectives sought by the legislation are not con troversial, but the details of how these objectives are to be ob tained are definitely subject to argument. However, the admin istration controls the committees of this congress, and the details are worked out by the commit- tecs. The subject matter is too I detailed and too complicated for the rest of the membership to be able to have much voice over and above the voices of the commit tees. The legislation is necessary, News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Sept. 11. The propaganda for world feeding by the United States Is being started again among the gov ernment coter ies long Inter ested in pro m o 1 1 n g that subject. If Eu rope is not suf ficiently hun gry, or can be well handled by surplus ar my stores, let us feed China rtul Mallon and India, where diets have been deficient for ages, according to our stand ards. Between a deficient diet and starvation is a great gulf, but they bridge it with "statis tics" showing four-fifths of the peoples of the world do not eat as much as we do and hence must be starving. The promoters were on the air a few days back with a new proposition, to-wit: Food produc tion in the world must be in creased, even doubled and these "starving" four-fifths required to eat it. It Is a smooth-sounding notion, and excclleht politics, unless you get down to cases. What could make the farmers feel better, possibly good enough to vote for Koosevelt again, than the pros pect of taking off all limits on production, and solving their sur plus problems of the last several decades by making those people eat enough, who do not live as we do. On the same radio program, however, were lepresentatlves of starving India and Poland, who In their polite and very dip lomatic way, seemed to respond: "We may have people who are not well fed, but do you not realire the problem of feeding them permanently Involves something more than accumulate In? more farm surpluses?" Hut the world-feeding promot er Juat went ahead denouncing EPS 4a I The committees have prepared the legislation. The congress will accept it. But the fact remains that both of these post-war bills are basically administration bills. a a a THE reconversion bill as passed by both houses contains the same principles for organiza tion and operation of the recon version agency. The director of war mobilization and reconver sion is to have jurisdiction over the office of war contract settle ment and the surplus war prop erty administration. The director may exercise any powers which the President may delegate to the director. These powers are, of course, limited to the powers which rest in the chief execu tive. The director Is to assist other government agencies In de mobilization and reconversion plans, make recommendations for the elimination of special war agencies, settle controversies between agencies, cooperate with Industries and state and local governments, recommend legis lation to congress and make pe riodical reports to the house and senate. An advisory board con sisting of representatives of in dustry, agriculture,' labor and the public will confer with the direc tor in working out problems. Curtailment of war produc tion and contract termination problems are to be synchronized with new production for civilian 1 use. The director will exercise' controls over materials and man-! power involved in non-war man ufacturing. In other words, the! new agency will be limited, but whether to one year or to two years is yet to be determined by the conference committee. The house bill amends trip senatp hill hv malrino cwm.I.,1 I provisions for small business so that smaller Industries will be assured of a share In the mater ials made available for non-war production. I hope this provision will be retained by the confer ence committee. The house bill amends the senate bill by making special provisions for small business so that smaller Industries will be assured of a share in the mater ials made available for non-war production. I hope this provision will be retained by the confer ence. Other differences between the house and senate to be worked out by -the conference commit tee Involve the continuation of the retraining and reemployment administration now operating under executive order, granting of unemployment compensation of federal employees establish' ment of a Joint congressional committee on post-war adjust ment, and interest rates to be paid by local and state govern ments on federal loans for public works. anyone opposed to Increased pro ' ductlon as a traitor to humanity, j an obstructor of progress. I a . a a ' IT Is time someone started think- ing constructively about the i job, because it is one that should j be done. If left to these new I dealing gentlemen, It will only accumulate more farm surpluses to be destroyed like the pigs or dumped in the ocean like Brazil ian coffee, or allowed to spoil, or cause future plowing under. Plainly thev are startinc at the wrong end of reasoning or com-' mon sense, as usual. To start at the right end, let us agree for all feeding done, someone must pay. The food can not be given away. If it is given free to the Indians by our gov ernment, our taxpayers must pay for it. No one is proposing that our farmers raise it for nothing. The problem, therefore, Is not one of world food supply at all, but of world ability to pay. The way to attack the problem con structively, therefore, would be to aid the Indian or Chinese get me money which would allow him to pay our prices. That is a far more difficult task. Of course, I, too, am getting a little ahead of myself, by as suming the Chinese or Indian would even like our diet if he had the money to buy it. Since the beginning of the world, his diet has always been different. Perhaps he thinks we are over fed and that we should take his diet. The custom of generations would have to be broken before he would want our food. The natural thing for him to want to do is to grow more of the food he likes, his own food. This is a problem for him. a a THE hungry European nations are even now turning their backs on UNRA so they can get started more swiftly to make themselves self-sufficient, and if they are wise they will not even want our money to rehabilitate themselves, thus running their nations into debt and under our j Influence and power. That is the way we. too, would want it If we were in their position. 13ut assuming the "undernour I Ished" would take our food, then I we must take something from him to pay for It. else he will , not ba on a self-sustaining level, Yanks Storm lo.d.MiV lMla,ufY 1.1 MIUS ) 7 y om& 1 " r ' a Biul , V- N -J: EU"Y. .

Too Much Partisanship In Smudge Pot? To the Editor: Has the Mail Tribune finally given up the ghost as an "independent", as far as its feature writers are concerned? We have enjoyed Art Perry's- "Smudge Pot" for over ten years, but recently it has become so bitterly partisan that its a pain in the neck in stead of being funny. It's too bad one endowed with the abil ity to write such sparkling wit should so let his partisanship get him down. Yours for leaving politics out of "Independents", (Name on file.) F. G., Medford, Aug. 9th. Ed. Note! The fact that "Smudge. Pot" Is free to handle politics as it wishes, as the fea ture writers of the paper are, and Is also supposed to be taken with a smile should aid our cor respondent In the realization that Smudge's political attitude Is in line not only with tbe po litical independence of the paper but the political independence of the members of its staff. Roosevelt Record on Servica Men To the Editor: New Deal Democrats have claimed that Republicans were to blame for forcing World War I soldiers into bread-lines or to selling stuff, apples, etc., on street corners In order to make a living, they also have claimed that they and President Roose velt rescued the soldiers from such humiliating conditions. Read the record: President Roosevelt vetoed 18 bills passed by Congress to assist World War I Veterans. May 22. 1931, he personally appeared before a Joint session of Congress and read his veto of the "Soldier's Bonus Bill." Did any other President of the U. S. ever in the history of the Republic veto a bill In that man ner? Answer is: NO! On that same day the House FOR Two adjoining office rooms.

Ueiuiau gorrisuus overrode the veto 322 to 98 votes, but the senate did not override the veto and th e bill was laid aside until, the next session of congress. January 20, 1938, Congress passed the "Soldier's Bonus Bill." The House vote was 346 for and 59 against. The Senate vote 74 for and 16 against President Roosevelt vetoed the bill. Within an hour afterwards the house overrode the veto by a vote of 323 to 61. Five days later the Senate voted to override the veto and so the soldiers got the bonus in spite of his opposition and not because he favored the "Sol dier's Bonus Bill". During the Fall of 1936 Bonus Checks were paid the soldiers and, of course, helped in the second election of President F. D. Roosevelt for many voters then believed as they now do I believe that Mr. Roosevelt de J served full credit for the pas I sage of the "Soldier's Bonus Bill," when as a matter of fact he did all within his power to defeat that bill.
