BID EXAMPLE
III FIRE RISK
Puns nrn Intended In lin tunny and
by mpny person urn linlliivuj lo ful
(111 (ho Intention, although thura In
tho statement of nn ozpnrt In rebut
tal, namely, that "a un U tho low
Mt form of humor."
Itegardlesa of a difference of opin
ion regarding thn worth of a pifn In
wit, no one thinks that It lit rsson
tlal for a un to ha truthful In or
der to bo funny.
Therefore the statement of a local
punster that the "dilapidated condi
tion of the courthouse U accounted
for by tho Do Laps In tho county
clerk'a office" may be very funny
but It Is rery far from being true be
cause the Dn I .aim In the clurk'a of
fice, being In clone touch with the
situation, recognize the dangor that
dally menaces In valuable public
records and other county property
tored In the ramshackle old court
house and as much as anyone would
welcome the day that sees tho records
moved Into safe quarters.
Iloth before and after the recent
hotel flm' It was easy to find per
sons who "knew that soma night the
Itoufcton hotel would go up In smoke
and when It goes there will be a big
life toss." Krnntually their prediction
waa fulfilled.
It la Just as easy today to go out
on the street jnd find a score or a
hundred people who believes that
soma day the old c6urthouse 'will
barn "and when It goes a lot of
county records that can never be re
placed will go with It."
Men. women, children, even ami
mula, learn by experience. 'ty
If those persons who saw inolr
prophecy fulfilled In the case of tho
Houston hotel, nro In the class that
profit by the lessons of thn past, the
logical conclusion Is that ench of
them who has a vote will cast a bal
lot for Chastaln and Pelorion.who
are both pledged to end the old
courthouse dispute and divert tho
money and energy expended In thn
prolonging of this fruitless quarrel
Into forwarding a program for road
extension and school betterment.
Pirn risks snd fire prevention aro
a subject of pnramount Importance
In this community. Tho city coun
cil Is considering n number of regu
latory ordinances. Tho flro chief Is
working with might and mnln to
absto tho risks In public lodging
places and other buildings. The
civic conscience Is experiencing a
widespread awakening. In the face
of It all. the worst fire risk In the
city, perhaps, Is maintained by the
eounty of Klamath at the corner of
Fourth and Main.
On the oast sldo of tha courthouse
building In a crumbling stono vault
for tho storage of all tho rocords of
thn county clerk'a and recorder's of
fices. The floor Is broken, thn walls
stand only bocausa of thn stool rein
forcements. There Is nn nlr apaco
under tho door of thn vnult, Thn
vault Is merely n llttlo nno t story
stono cellar. It ennnot contain nil
tho rocords nnd tho ovorflow Is kept
In steel filing cases nn tha floor of
tho office. In caso of n conflagration
porsons who saw tho destruction
accomplished by tho Houston hotel
flrn will not orguo otherwise for n
mlnuto It would mnko llttlo differ
ence whether tho rocords woro In tho
vault, or outsldo. Tho vault would
offer no protection In n tiro of tho
proportion that a building thn alio
of tho courthouse would furnish.
On tho wust side of tho building,
northwest, la two story brick
vault. In the lower story, tho sheriff
and tax collector stores his books
and records. On thn upper floor aro
all tho records of the circuit court.

t
IS THEME OF
! DDiiipmii
At tho weekly forum of tbo cham
ber of commorco yesterday Robert
tiootz, principal of tbo Klamath
County high school, In speaking on
what tho high school needed and
what the high school could do for
the county emphasized the following
peints:
Tbe need of a gymnasium.
The need of everyone backing the
high school with their moral support
as well aa their financial support.
That tho. high school could and
ahould offer short courses to the
farmers of Klamath county .during
the winter.
To build up the high school so
that when the need of Jjnlor college
appeared In the state the high school
would be ready to do that work.
In speaking on tbe first point Mr.
Qoctx stated that tbo studenta ot the
high achool were equal to those of
aay othor school and that the things
donelln the paat that had broaght
discredit upon the achool were not
caused by children w"i) were bad at
heart but were done became they
hsd the surplus energy and that
energy waa not rightly directed. It
was not rightly directed not because
the teacher could or would not di
rect, but because the high achool
lacked SniC and equipment to do
the work.
IMany cases ot round shoulders,
weak lungs, and poor posture could
be corrected and cured If the achool
has a gymnasium and the teacher
to do the work. 'The school has at
present 16000 for a gymnasium, but
needs $20,000. This could be raised
In one levy and the gymnasium built.
The speaker also said that he knew
the people gladly paid their taxes to
support schools, but; that he wanted
6 see more of them take a apeclal
interest In school and come oat and
YlsItTand know what the" achool was
dolngand trying to do.
The speaker stated as a self evi
dent fact that the high achool and
Klamath Fall .waa situated In the
midst of the most wonderful agricul
tural region in tbe world. The high
school should do as many other
schools In tho community arc doing,
)ffer during the winter to the
farmor on this land short courses In
their work. This would be ot direct
benefit to every person In the coun
ty because aa the farmer becomes
progressive and prosperous, all pros
per. .

Robert N. Stanflold, republican
candidate for United States, senator,
ill bo in Klamath Falla Satur
day and Sunday and arrangement
wilt be made by local republicans for
at leaat one, and possibly more, pub
lic addresses while the candidate la
In this city.
Mr.SUnfleld la on a political tour
of the atate and haa apoken in all
of tha Willlamette valley towns, and
In Mashfield. He U now In Jackson
county en rout to Klamatb.
Prospect for tbe election of the
republican candidate lor aeaator are
bright this year, moat republican
voters realizing that they avast sab
merge their personal feelings 'of
friendship for Senator Chamberlain,
the democratic candidate, for tka
sake of republican principles.
Mr. Btanfled In a public state
ment Issued in Cohvaltls, sized up
the actuation aa follews:
Tha campaign la progressing
finely, so far as I am concern
ed." said Mr. Stanflald. "Hard
ing,, ot course. Is already elect
ed. Two months ago people
treated me very' cordially, but
many ot them' were not Inclined
to commit themselves. I
couldn't feci sure that I knew
V,T - - they were. Today there

and thai we caayreatere tha kealth
or ma repumic ana, ensure ine gooa
ot the country, will wish, aa I wish,
that the voters of Oregon may find.
It to their best Judgment to support
Robert N. Staafleld for United
States senator."
A republican president cannot put
republican policies Into effect unless
he ts aided and supported by a re
publican majority in the United
States senate. That U one ot the
principle reasons why Senator Hard
ing Is anxloua that Oregon shall
elect 'Robert N. Staafleld. the nomi
nee ot the republican party, to repre-,
sent his native state la the United
States senate.
The republicans have a bare ma
jority ot one vote In the present sen
ate. It Is cfear, therefore, that It Is
entirely possible that Mr. Stanfleld'a
vote, when he is eloctod, may be the
deciding vote necessary to ensure
republican control of tho senate. On
the other hand, It Mr. Chamborlaln'a
vote might be tho very one which
would turn the control ot tho sen
ate over to tho democrats.
The election ot Harding to the
presidency, therefore, would be but
a barren victory unless a republican
senate Is elected at the samo time to
back him up In supplanting demo
cratic one-man rule, extravagance
and Inefficiency with republican pro
tection, progress and prosperity.
Senator Harding's Interest In the
election of Mr. Stantleld is shared
by other republican leaders of na
tional'' reputation.
. Calvin. Coolldge, republican vice
presidential candidate, has given ex
preslson to bis desire for Mr. Stan
field's election to the senate In a
telegram to tbe republican atate cen
tral committee In which he' says:
"The success ot the republican
ticket In Oregon Is earnestly to be
desired, More than that, my own
desire to preside over a republican
senate leads, me to hope , for and
recommend the election of R. U.
Stantleld to represent your great
state In that honorable body."
Several ot tho leading republican
United States senator have similarly
expressed their earnest hope that M'
Stantleld wilt be chosen by the peo
ple ot Oregon to add .to the repub
lican membership In the next sen
ate.
