Disgusting rumors were current about the city a few
days ago that "Main Street" so-called was firmly
against any moral clean up of Klamath Falls; that it was
almost solidly for an open town. The Evening Herald
refused to believe it, and said so. And then to confirm
its opinion of the businets men of this city, The Evening
Herald today gave the business men opportunity to
answer for themselves as to whether or not they favored
a cleaner 'city. Because of the holiday some business
places were not open. Others were out of the city. But
all who were seen gave their opinions., - They are here
with printed :
Jt. 10. Klliiaon, Stlnnon Studio . -
I am In favor nt a cleaner town. I
fool that law ojnrce.aont activities
should bo directed against the boot
legger particularly. I am Inclined to
believe a restricted dlntrict under
police supervision would . tend to
clarify the altualloa.
(Iiurlc !. I'urcclon, Gurcelon
Klectrlc ahop Yes, I am ntrong for
a cleaner town.
N. II. Drew, N. U. Drew Clothing
company A moral clean up would
not Injure the business of thin town.
That la the wrong Idea. I am strong-,
ly In favor of a cleaner town and
feel that the time has come to havo
a hDuso-clonnlng.
J). M. Smith, Chllcote and Smith
Real Katato Co. Tho typo of peo
plo who would make up a real sub
stantial community would hesitate
to make tholr home in Klamath
Falls under the present conditions.
Tho first thing tho gaod citizen
thinks of In hln wife and children.
Unless lha moral conditions of the
town uro Improved you will find
that tho type of citizen thit this
town "needs, will not come to this
city. And besides It Is the substan
tial, moral and upright citizen that
la the backbone of good business.
In the old days, a different Idea
prevailed.- L'nn.oral conditions wero
Ignored and . allowed to flourish.
With prohibition another school of
thought has arisen and on the
wholo I think that the contempor
nryy Ideas of clean and moral cities
are bettor for the nation.
K. I). Trulovr, Trulovo's Meat ,
Market 1 em heartily In favor ot
a moral clean-up. Tho time has
come when something must be done
toward bettering the condition of
t!iU town.
). Ii. Stone and It. L. Stone,
Stone's Cash Stores A clean-up
would not Injure the business in my
opinion. 1 strongly fnvor any move
to make the community a better

Dr. . J. Ci. Uoble, Optometrist I
really don't f-iel disposed to bo
quoted on the ,unnlioi.
It. I,. Davidson, Pastime Po.,1
hull I feel that there should bo a
woedlng out of the unmoral ele
ments In this town. However, you
havo this transient papulation bora
and ns long us you have It there will
always bo some vice element In
tho oommunlty. Weed out the bad
ones, cut out on llqucr and Inail
gnto pollco supervision of the
houses that ure running. Yes, 1 feci
thut we need a cleaner town.
" A. Pauley, Sanitary Meat Mar
ket 1 am neutral on the iiii.wtlon
ut this time, or to bo more definite,
1 don't feel that it is my plnro to
expross my opinion publicly. We
hnvo olectod n umiyor, council nnd'
sheriff. It is tholr Job to see that
tho town Is livable. It they don't
then they should bo rnnnlc.l by tho
public, who have hired them.
Mr KoclMin, Triangle Cnfo I
don't wish to be quoted on thin
question right now. 1 wouldn't foel
disposed to commit my business to
any definite statement until I hud
conforrcd with my businoss partner.
K. II. Ijitwivncr, Clgur mnn I am
non-commitlnl on the subject. In

A. llocclil, "The Toggory" Itcal

but at tho sHino tlmo feel thn. u
cleaner town would l-e a good
thlnig. However. I do think th.it with
this transient population that thero

Perry Wilson, Mecca pool hail
I want to see them clean out the
bootleggers.. I am against tho
"mooners." If the prohibition law
wansn't in effect, I wouldn't con
duct a pool hall. In regard to cthor
vice, I am frank to say that I feel
the only way to handle the situa
tion In by a restricted district. Th'j
lumber industry brings a certain
class of transient laborers to thia
town. As long aa that class in hero
there will bo a demand for certain
kinds ot vice and the supply will
meet the demand whether It bo in
houses supervised by polico or In
little shacks and rooming houses.
The supervised district should be as
open to the police as Is my ;ido1 hall.

Paul Lambert, Klamath Dye
Works A cleaner town? Well I
should say so. To be honest with
you, I feel that tho proper way to
handle the question of vice In '.his
town -would be the establish!! tr.t
ot a restricted district with l.ollce
supervision. Keep the eyes ot the
law on tho houses at all times and
the first time they sell booze wi'.iin
their walls yank them up before the
judge and send thom out ot town.
It seems to me that -vith the tran
sient population that visits Klamath
evory year, that It Is tho only sen
sible way to meet the question.

DISMISSAL
F CHIEF
Following Expose of Secret
Session, Council Be- .
Iisved Afraid to Act
Further substantiation of
street reports that the city
council planned to , '"fire",
Chief of Police - Harry
Loucks at the meeting to
morrow night, was seen by
many when the council held
a Secret meeting at the city
hall Saturday night, at
which time it gave a hear
ing to Mrs. M. B. Panos, op
erator of the notorious hotel
Ray. : i
The council, it is re
ported, planned the Satur
day night meeting as a
means of "whitewashing"
this hotel, and with this to
back them up, it then
planned to remove Loucks
as head of the city's police
force.
But premature - publicity
given these reputed secret
plans appear to have
"crabbed the party." . The
hotel Ray hearing was held
according : to schedule, but
reporters learned : of the
secret meeting and' flocked
to the council chambers,
much to the amazement and
disgust of the five council
men. :
Neither Mayor Fred R., Goddard
nor City Attorney J. H. Carnahan
knew that the meeting was' to be
held. Chlet of Police Loucks like
wise was kept in the dark-os to the
councilmanlc plnns. Until the re
porters ; arrived the only persons
present were the five councilmen,
Mrs. Panos and her attorsoy, and c
few .witnesses for Mrs. Panes sr.d
her hotel. : ,
Criticize. Everybody
It was learned that tho ccunc'.l
men at this secret session," covered
a lot of territory In their criticism
of ether appointees of Mayor fod
dard.' Chief of Police Loucks won
net alono in condemnation. But
whether Or not the councllmen de
cided to grant a license to the hotel
Ray could not be loarned, u they
kept their views and dec'slons very
much to themselves. ; For It was a
secret meeting, and tbey "wanted to
keep their action as much ot a noci
rot as possible. '
