Editorial Correspondence
Klamath Falls, Sept. 9. (By Mail) Our last visit to K. 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

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.

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. .

Yes, this entire day, In spite of the heat and the dust, has made
a strong and lasting impression upon your correspondent, these

standpoint of the prosperity and security of this section of the state.

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?"

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

provisions for small business so
that smaller Industries will be
assured of a share In the mater

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

To the Editor: Has the Mail

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",

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

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!

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

F. D. Roosevelt for many voters

he did all within his power to
defeat that bill.
