Twenty-five per centjof the total yearly income from the national forests goes to the county and state in lieu of taxes for road and school funds! rThe total amount up to June, 1923, was $110,01 1.77 for Klamath county, in which there are por tions of the Crater, Fremont and Deschutes National Forests. In addition, the government spends ten per cent of the income from the national forests in road construction and maintenance within the forests. j ' Our national forests axe being protected from fire and are being developed so as to yield a continuous supply of timber and forage, which means that not only will the revenue increase as time goes on but also tliat we vvill always receive an income from these lands.' , A fire1 in the forests of Klamath' county means less money for roads and. stnools irwthe county. Eighty per cent of our forest fires are man-caused and are, therefore, preventable. Every taxpayer is interested in reducing his taxes, and one way of doing this is to work for the prevention of fires in our for , ests, which contribute to xur roads and schools. For the first few years, the national forests contributed very little to our tax funds, but with their increased development the amount has steadily grown and will continue to grow as the more inacces sible timbered areas find a market. There is a saying that '"The Swiss keep their mountains up and their taxes down with their forests." But the Swiss no longer burn their forests man-caused fires are an unheard of thing in Switzerland. Let us get rid of the careless smoker and camper, and of anyone else who thoughtlessly sets the woods afire. We have no place for the firebug in Klamath county.' f TOWN "PRIDE RETURNS Mr HAT we think of as normal times may as yet be a long TV way off, but here and there straws point to an early re turn of that civic and community pride, which gave so much promise for American' town life before the war. Nine years ago the sudden shift of interest to the great conflict dealt a severe blow to that community spirit which reflects itself in ,neat,iawns, clean streets, sanitation, bright paints and play cen ters; Today one does not travel far without noting a change 'or the better. '"-'" ! In many instances contracts have been let for long delayed improvements. Most of the smaller communities in particular "seertf to be brushing up shoes and shining buttons, so to speak. Experienced observant motorists attribute the rebirth of a son sciousness ' of appearance to the improvement in highways. Once a main artery of travel im improved through a commun- : l ty.,a transformation takes place. The Dingeyvilles awaken to .thtf fact, that they are not as neat in appearance, to the stranger : .- .ownwerimprpves his place, out of pride, or business sagacity, and' sopu ;bliabbyburg becomes a veritable spotlessville. According -to-architects, contractors and engineers,' scores of municipalities are about to. undertake improvements of a public .nature. -iThe . bulk of these are in the form of street paving waterworks' and sewer extension and small bridge building; !A number of progressive small towns are establish ing parks" and '-playgrounds. T.hey are providing against the day when ground willtbe higher in price and their larger popu lation iri 'greater" need' of hyeathing spots. .4 HUNT& WASHINGTON LETTER, Sin By HARRY U. HUNT WASHINGTON, D. ., April '25. Cnl Coolldge Is no fan, The "great national game" ot baseball leaves him "cold." That was evident to all present on the occasion ot the opening ot the American league season at the Washington ball purk. Coolldge complied with the tradl dltlon that the first ball ot the first game in Washington must be tossed out by the president. But he did It with an expresaton and a gesture that Indicated the job was the most distasteful he had yat been called upon to perform as chlof executive. ! It hurling a horsehlilo sphere out Into a ball park, while a crazy mob of screeching lunatics looks on, was a daily part ot the presidential routine, well we'll bet Calvin Cool ldge wouldn't run for re-election. Coolldge's discomfiture as ho stood up to throw the ball Has plain. He not only didn't grin, he didn't even smile. He went at It as an unpleasant, rather undignified proceeding that had to be gone through with, but which he didn't enjoy or even ap prove. Instead of tossing the ball out snoppily he sort of pushed It away from him with an overhand gesture, much as Caesar might have spurned the crown. . . ' , . And then, with the home team winning, Cal up and left in the middle ot the third Inning! Though Coolldge may not warm up to basebull, he does seem to be onto the curves of thru other great national pastime, politics. Already his campaign managers claim to have about 500 of the necessary 556 delegates to the republican conven tion roped and tied. , So cocksure are his boosters ot a walkaway for him at Cleveland that they are suggesting having the pres ident drop in on the convention In person, Teceive direct notification of his nomination and deliver his speech of acceptance and campaign keynote on the spot. Such a procedure, however, does not seem quite to fit In with the Cooldige character. It would be rather too spectacular, too great a departure from custom and prece dent. Doubtless It might be good strategy. It might disclose him as less "cautious" and "careful" than he has often been pictured, might humanize -him and help start the battle with a bang, but our guess is Coolldge will receive the "news" of his nomination through press re ports relayed to the executive office. I MALIN JtfOW HAS NEWSPAPER Poetically Inclined persons are convinced that the action of con gress in passing the Japanese ex clusion act just when It did proves that our legislators have no souls. The very day the vote was taken which precipitated all the discussion of "grave consequences," the Jap anese cherry trees along the. speed way and around tho tidal basin burst into full bloom. These cherry trees, a gift from the mikado to the government of the United States, some 20 years ago, have done more tban any other single thing to beautify the national capital. Their masses ot delicate pink blossoms make a veritable fairyland of the capital in spring-- time. , Perhaps the exclusion act was all i right. Perhaps it was proper that It should be passed. But to pass It in cherry blossom time, when the beauty and frag rance of Japan's gift to us was in itself, a plea for harmony an Invi tation to peace ah, surely that re vealed us as a nation of material ists, shorn of souls and sentiment! THE first appearance o The' Malin Progress, a weekly news- A paper guided by Tom W.'Sliaughnessy, was heralded this! week and a welcome to Klamath county's newspaper ranks is herewith accorded. The Progress;-is. a six-column sheet of four pages, and its, initial issue bespeaks well for its editor and the community the paper seeks, to represent. There are 250,000 acres of excellent soil in the Malin section and the town is thriving. A news medium will unquestionably aid material--jy -In the development of this wonderful. country, which hap Jens to be tributary to Klamath Falls. 'It is our hope and con fidence that Mr. Sliaughnessy ' will be given the support his pioneering venture deserves. "': Jt. v,.i : ! Simply to keep the record straight, it ought to- be noted that ex-Bandit Al Jennings claims to have been thoroughly Mamie Williams of Savannah, Ca., will have the distinction of being the first colored woman delegate ever to sit In a national convention.
