noodod to fill with enthusiasm ovory
porson dlroctly or Indirectly con

ovory trace of tho uncertainty that

Another question that will bn sot

plan of Captain Women prevails,
then tho bank will becomo an Insti

plications from alt soctlons of tho

Shortly nftor tho hank closed sev

tho purposo of devising ways and
means to aid In tho ro-ostabllxhmcnt

neither stockholders nor depositors,
but had for their object tho rohabll
Itatlon of normal conditions In tho
community. They entered Into an
agroomunt tlilit their efforts would

EXPOSE OFTHE
E CAUSES
E
Consternation hit tho ranks of tho
thruo-card monto gang whan thoy
discovered that Tho Horald had
turned tho spot light on their
scbomo to oust tho prosont chlof of
pollco nnd sllii into tho'offlco ono of
tholr own picking. Not that thoy
had any Idea of soloctlng ono oven
remotoly connectod with themselves.
Oh, not That Is not tho way thoy
work. What thoy want Is a man
without oxporienco with tbo tricks
oX their trado, for It Is thon an easy
rnaltor to pull tho wool over his
eyes.
Tho best ovldonco of this is in thp
mannor in which thoy hnvo so easily
"put it over" on tho mombors ot tho
council. Of course, tho public gen
erally oxpectod nothing from tho
councilman from tho Fifth ward
and got It.
Thoro is no llttlo surprlso over
tho attltudo taken by tbo council
men from tho First and Third. 'It
is generally concoded that Council
man McCotlum Is sincere Ho has
llstoncd to tho stories that havo
boon tpld him, and being ot tho
four-squaro ordor, looks upon his
follawman as bolng on tho lovol
until ho finds him otherwise In
Bonding their messago to htm, tho
crooks did not pick out a roughnock.
They went at it Just llko thoy have
gono at ovorythlng olso, with- tho re
sult that Mr. McCollum Is thorough
ly convlncod that tho stories aro
truo. Ono of theso days bo will dis
cover that ho has boon buncoed.
Councilman Dogardus Is tho real
surprise Ho sooms to bo hypnotizod
by tho bellow ot tho mans-from tho
KlUh. Crodltcd with poispjslng or
dinary Intelligence honored with
representing tho most conservative
ward In tho city, having assured his
frionds and supporters that ho
would co-operate with Mayor Wiley,
ho has Just "knocked them dead"
by tho nslnlno stand ho has taken.
If ho woro to stand as a candidate
In his ward today ho would not get
two por cent of' tho volo. Tho ex
pectation ot his constituents Is that
ho will tako a tumble to himself and
dlscovor tho kind of a bedfellow bo
has and got up and dross.
. Tho ono satisfaction to Mayor
Wlloy Is tho fact that Tio has tbo
support ot Councilmen West and
Hawkins. Doth aro men who com
mand not only tho respect and con
fidence ot their constituents, but of
tho ontlro city. Tholr record horo
toforo has boon ono of construction,
and tho stand they now tako Is
along tho samo lino. Thoy rocog
nlzo tho fact that politics has no
placo In tbo pollco department, and
that tho mayor Is tho man upon
whoso shoulders rests tho responsi
bility, and thoy nro willing to accopt
his Judgmont and oxperlonco.
Another thing Shut Is going to
sink into tho heads ot tho obstruc
tionists' this: Tho pooplo -of this
city aro not going to stand for in
torforonco with progress; thoy aro
not going to lot tho scum ot tho
city run its government.

TAXES NOT SURE

court may go ahead and spend tho
money that will bo forthcoming

Rut tho p'resent situation in which
Klamath county finds itself In re
gard to tax collections Is out ot tho
ordinary, and there Is much specula
tion ns to how tho county's dobts
will bo met when tbo fast draining
funds are emptied, it tho .proesnt
doadlock ovor collections persists.
At present, according to tho coun

hard times ahoad for landlords If
ever the Labor party gots a chanco
to govorn tbo country. Addressing
tbe other da a mooting to Inaugu
rate a branch ot the Central Land

"In order to deal with tho present
financial emergency, tho policy ot
tho leaders ot tho Labor party Is
to Impose very much higher death
duties and supertaxes, to render It
Impossible for anybody to keep land
at nil. It Is a policy ot confiscation

"Tho most m,bdorato labor, leaders
conteraplato a policy which differs
from tho soviet government of Rus
sia only In this respect that the
soviet government eliminates tho
possessing classes by organized mas
sacre whllo labor loaders In this coun
