SATURDAY, OCTOIIER 2."5, 1010 'THE EIGHTH STREET CONTRACT There is boforo the city council a protest from the property owners of Eighth street against the extension of the time limit for tho completion ot tho paving ot that thoroughfare. The property owners ask, if tho "Warren Construction company does not complete 'tho work this year, that the contract be cancelled. The council has postponed decision on this question twice and it will come Tip for consideration atits meeting "Monday night. The surprising part of it is that there should be an hesitancy on the part of the council. When the- War ren Construction company bid on this work and when it accepted tho contract, it knew what the terms were. Paving companies are not in the habit of "going it blind," and the Warren Construction company 1st no exception to the rule. When the property owners on Eighth street asked for the paving, they did so be cause they expected that it would be placed according to the terms of "whatever contract was signed, and "they have reason to demand no more nor no less. It is their property that stands as security for this debt and it is out of their pockets that the money to liquidate it must come. They are, therefore, tho ones to be consulted not the Warren Con struction company. If that contract is not binding on the paving com pany so far as the time limit is con- cerned, then it is not binding on the! property owners so far as forcing them to consent to an extension. It Is a well established principle cf law that a contract cannot be bind ing on one side and not on the other. It the officials of this city ignore the law, ride rough-shod over the wishes of their constituents, permit the paving company to do as it pleases, how can they expect these people to respect any law or au thority? Thoro is growing up throughout this nation n tondoncy towards autocracy that has no placo in our government. It Is estranging tho pcoplo from those in authority. It Is adding fuel to a lire ot discon tent and dollanco ot all law and or der that, It not chockudi will blaze jlnto a fury that will wtpo out ot ex ilslonco our very government. A city is like the school tho very fountain head ot government. It is closo to the pcoplo. If our city otllcinls havoj no respect Cr the law or tho rights of tho people, It croatca a resent ment that Increases as tlmo passes and other transgressions are com mitted. There Is not an anarchist or a bolshevist in tho world who hns not, at somo tlmo In his llfo, had a real grievance, which, It given the consideration that individual had reason to expect from those In nu- thourity, would have been removed and he would liavo remained a sup portor of the constituted govern ment. The time has como, when Klamath Falls must not Join tho brigade of autocratic officials. Tho pcoplo on eighth street have tho right to ask for cithor the completion of tho con tract or its cancellation. Tho coun cil should not have extended tho contract of Esplanade and otuor streets. And it should not now ex tend tho time limit on Eighth street over tho protest of theso who havol to foot the bill. Let us have tho rulo of tho people hero and not tho dictation ot private Interests. SERVICE MAN SAYS LEfllON IS - RIGHT FRENCH flULER S N I HOE; PARIS, Oct. 1. (By the Associ ated Press), When President Poln- caire leaves the Elysees palace, tho French White House, four months hence to make way for a new chief executive of the republic, he will, j like a great many nioro ordinary cit- I izens, be, obliged to grspple with the difficult lodging problem. When be was elected president he had four domiciles, his aparentment in Paris which he gave up at once, his villa at Sampigny, the old fam ily homestead at Jfubecourt and a s in-all house near Bar le Due, The Sampigny villa was completely wrecked by the German artillery fir ing from the Camp ot tho Romans near Saint Mihiel, the homstead at Nubecourt was demolished by the explosion of any army motor truck loaded with gasoline, while a bomb from a German airplane fell full Into the center of the hoiibe at Bar le Due and left nothing standing! but rigged walls. " Consequnently the next e-presi-dant will have to go house hunting along with thousands of other cit!-' z-3ns, running the same small chance' of finding a suitable abiding place.! Editor ot Tho Herald, City. Sir: In tho Klamath Record, dated October 24, 1918, thoro la an artlclu on tho llrst pago headed "lllg Reclamation Project on Lvko." Tho writer of tho article dllntoa nt length upon tho blessings and bonolHs to' bo dorlvod from this wonderful rec lamation schunui and slates that If tho members of tho American Legion "only understood" tho proposition they would withdraw their objec tions and permit the lease to stand. It then says: "Tho lands will bo; cut up Into farm units and sold and It Is the expectation of thoso Inter-1 estod that tho price when reclaimed and Irrigated would bo considerably' less than would bo tho case if tho j government undertook to reclaim tho government land ulouo, as has' boon suggested in tho protest." Tho one who wroto that nrllclo Is clearly a traitor to tho ox-sorvlco man, and if his name Is learned It I should bo reported to tho Legion. I Tho Idea of telling tho people that these lands will bo cut up into farm units and soldi Wo say, whonT At tho end of tho thlrty-yoar leaso to! Brown and Doak.T Tho hired writer ot tho pitlabloexucso of' an article1 above montlonol will have been In' ills grave and his chlldron will bo( too old at that tlmo to make i.etlle-. monton theso lands. Nowhoro In this article does, tho writer Inform tho public that thoso i leases run for a period of thirty i years. Tiat Is considerately with held from thein-, presumably in nc cordnnco with the pattern bet by some of tho departments of our gov ernment. " Only 17 per cent of the total land area of Klamath county Is on tho tax rolls for taxation. Should these lnfnmous leases continue tho 10,000 i acres of government land embraced in them will continue for a period ot thirty years to bo exempt from taxa tion. If the plan of the service men Is adopted they will bo en tho tax rolls not later than four years from date. We say that it is the duty ot the county officials to tako this mat tor up with our congressmen so that these lands can be taxed and thus rolio'o tho already overburdened i taxpayer of? Klamath county. j The heftier mentioned In tho nrtl- j cle went upon the lands when they were withdrawn and should he havo difficulty it is clearly his own fault,! as ho violated the law when ho wont' upon tho land in tho first placo. j Furthermore, 'ho is not a poor man and does not need tho land as do1 the men who wore tho uniform. If some of tlio officials of the present administration would be more considerate of tho average citl-' zen instead of the land speculator ' and monopolies, then indead, some! constructive scheme could be adopt-1 ed th 1 1 would dispose of these lands' in the Interests of all the people ' those who wore the uniform and tho taxpayers alike.

MERRILL & MOORE, BERT DAWSON, Auctioneers. Clerk. TIFLIS, Armenia, Sept. 15, via Paris, Oct. 2. Turkish Armenian refugees, whose daughters were saved from death for a life of slav ery In Turkish harems, havo 'ap pealed to tho American Red Cross for aid in obtaining their freedom. It is estimated by officials of the Armenian government that 30,000 girls are thus held in slavery. An executive committee to arrange tho plans for their- liberation has been named and will start work at once. Theso girls, daughters of refugees from tho Van and Bitlis regions, dis appeared during the massacres of 1918. Nothing was heard of thorn for months and it was belloved they had b'een slain by the Turks. Recently pitiful appeals for .lib eration have been coming from them from tho Turkish harems of Ana tolia and European Turkey. Most of tho girls declare they have not changed their religion. Colonel Haskell, high commission er of he allies to Armenia, has been appealed to for military aid. No definite answer has yet beon glvon but ho is hopeful of being able to offer a show of force as a hack ground for diplomatic negotiations. The American Red Cross has been asked for financial backing neces sary for the work of liberating the women.
