WHICH DO YOU WANT?
The Klamath News asks you-to get back of the South
ern Pacific in its. fight to keep out the Northern lines,
because it will give up a "main line east;" because with
the "main line east" Klamath Falls will be "in the best
position of any city in Oregon to reach the best markets
in the world."
At the hearing in Portland yesterday, George S. Long,
general manager and vice president of the Weyerhaeuser
company, testified as follows:
"I realise I am giving this un.ler oath, and I say right
here that our mill will "lie in operation the very day the Ore.ton
Trunk enters Klamath Falls. V.- will mOt 150,000,000 feet
of timber a year In Klsmaeh Falls. We will run -ur mills
at full capacity the year round, market conditions permitting!."
Asked it there was sufficient rail transpor;atkn In Klamath
Falls to warrant this proposed development, he replied:
"Absolutely not. Our timber Is lit a stage wlere it toast he
cut or else sold within the voiutag years. Our markets arc in
Idaho. Montana, the Dak :tas. Sltmiesjta and Wisconsin. Our
oldest and most staunch customers arc in that territory. At the
present time we are selling our customerj both fir and pine,
but iwe need the KlamaGa pine now as our pine supply Is
exhausted. We plan on the largest lumber mill In the
county, together wltia a sasa and door factory. If the Oregon
Trunk comes to the Klamath country. Klamath Falls will be the
largest western pine manufacturing point in America. There is 1
no doubt abjut It.
Yet, the Klamath News, wants you to throw this away
for the Southern Pacific, on the plea that the S. P. pro
gram is best for Klamath Falls.
BAREFACED IMPUDENCE
It is inconceivable that any newspaper would take,
the stand that the Klamath News takes in the fight that
ia being made to bring to this city the Northern lines.
Notwithstanding that the very life of the community
depends upon the coming of the Northern lines, The
News openly and brazenly asks the people to get bad-:
of the Southern Pacific in its fight to prevent its com
ing. Grasping at a last straw, it is now raising the cry of
a "main line service to the east," as if there was any
one in the county that was opposing such a line.
The "main line to the east" will be built, but when
if is built it will be under common-user conditions. As
the hearing progresses in Portland, indications are that
the commission will attach a common-user condition to
the Oregon Trunk extension. That will mean the com
ing of the Union Pacific. When the "main line east,"
that the News talks so much about, is built, it, also, will
have a common-user provision and thus the people of
Merrill, Tule lake valley and northern California will
have the benefit of the Northern lines, Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific.
Back of this "main line east" propaganda is something
that the neople generally are overlooking. When the
talk of a line through the Tule lake valley first started
the directors of the Klamath Irrigation district passed
a resolution asking the government to refuse a right of
way to any railroad, unless attached to it was the common-user
condition. This upset the Southern Pacific
scheme to block the extension of the Oregon Trunk into
California and immediately its agents began a campaign
against the directors of the district. This campaign is
now gaining headway and you will hear a lot about it
during the next few weeks. It is the desire of the
Southern Pacific to make it appear that the directors are
blocking the "main line east." Instead of blocking it,
they'are working day and night for it, but they are also
working for the interest of the people in demanding
that any railroad that opens up that. territory shall do
so with a common-user provision, whether that road is
the Southern Pacific or the Northern lines.

In kecking -with Fire Pjeventior;
week, which is being nationally ob
served throughout the United States
this week, Keil:;i Ambrose, fire chief
of Klumalh Falls, spjko before the
forum luncheon at the laiamber of
commerce this noon.
"Carelessness Is the modstor that
Is each ivear taking thousands of
lives in the United States by fire,"
he doclured. In gtvlug statistics for
the past two years he s jwed where
five hundred -ud (i.vcnt'.-Uireo mil
lions of dollars wl.ub a loss of 15.
000 lives was the record In the
United States for last year.
Fire prevention has been observed
In United Stales since as far hack as
the year 1835 but never nationally
until the great Chicago fire In 1S71.
Urging every precaution against
the use of gasoline and Its great
danger, Mr. Ambrose explained what
few people realize, that one gallon
of igusollne has the power of 83
tons tat dynamite.
"The city council is doing every
thing within its power to get a
pr.iper sewerage system for Klam
ath Falls," stated Dr. O. S. Newsom,
county health officer, iho spoke on
sanitation before the chamber of
commerce, following the talk by
Keith Ambrose.
"We must realize that the present
sewage disposal system was built to
take care of a city wlt.i a population
of not more than 2,500 people,1, he
said. He urged the conditions be
taken care o witu the cooperatfon
of every cltlzon before the city goU
more thickly populated.
"At the present time the '
council is attempting to secure t';e
services of one of the most ablo sur

WASHINGTON-. Senator Curtis
has succeeded finally iu throwing :
real scare into the Washington Bure
aucracies. Talk about abolishing some of
them, consolidating others, cutting
down tiheir persouncls to a business
j baslsj hnd eliminating a lot of tae
waste that most of them have been
responsible for has beee going on
ever since the war.
It hasn't worried them much.
So long as congressional action was
necessary to, trim them In size and
reduce theiu in number, it was pret
ty certain to the bureaucrats them
selves, as well as to others, tiiat
Uey were In little danger.
Senators and congressmen, hardly
necessary to say, have found places
in these bureaus very handy to pass
out to political henchmen and french
women. Naturally they don't like o
sec ail end put to this patronage.
For one thing, losing It will
cramp them In future. For another
thing, caah little bureaucrat whose
Job Is abolished will hlamo his par
ticular congressman for it. ujid so
will his friends, and it may make a
difference to the congressman 'him
self when the next election day rolls
around.
In a general war. a majority of
the' lawmakers recognize that the
government is "ovor-bureaued."
But when it comes to putting the
Indian sign on some one particular
bureau, all those iwao have a person
al Interest In it object strenuously.
"We need consolidation and re
duction," they, agree, "but not In
this spot. This bureau's essential.
Let's economize elsewhere."
Each lawmaker is also aware that
If he votes to abolish some other
lawmaker's pet bureau, the latter
will vote to uboliah his pet. That's
why the bureaucrats remain so care
free while nobody but congress dis
cusses retrenchment.
Now, .however, comes Curtis with
the announcement that he intends
to Introduce a bill giving blank-it
authority to the president to do all
the executive reorganizing, (consoli
dating, readjusting, and reducing as
he sees fit, congress Indorsing what
ever he does In advance, and letting
It igo at that.
The bulk of too senators and
representatives won't like this, but
it's a plan they will find It, very
difficult to reject, 'inasmuch as t'hey
admit a reshuffle of the executive
sub-divisions Is badly needed, and
everybody can see that tih&y them
selves are unable lj do anything
abrut it.
WASHINGTON Ilocent events
In Washington probably have given
a pretty widely spread impression
that all isn't quite right with Ameri
can national defense.
This Impression is correct.
The controversy over the merits'
of war versus surface forces isn't
the only trouble. Still worse, army
and to some extent navy morale Is
badly shattered.
Whether one considers Col. "Hilly"
Mitchell right or wrong in his avia
tion views, nobody ran hold lite opin
ions he expresses of his superiors are
those of a man in a frame of mind to
work effectively toward the ends that
they deem best.
Now, Col. Mitchel is not alone In
an unfavorable opinion of these same
superiors. He simply Is the only one
who says in public Just what he
thinks.
A great deal of the war department
Is fairly saturated with discontent.
Any numher of officers are ready
to voice such sentiments in the
strongest terms if assured they won't
be quoted and thus get into difficul
ties which not many of them enn
afford to disregard as Col. Mitchell
can.
Still, they do talk with an occasion
al outsider and. of course, far more
freely among themselves,
i .
It isn't aviation deficiencies sole
ly that all the kicking Is about. The
complaint is that the country's whole
military establishment Is running
down.
That it's on a peace, instead of a
war basis is recognized as all right,
but the malcontents' argument Is
that retrenchment has gone altogeth
er too far.
.Maybe the establishment's slzo is
adequate, they say, but Its quality
is being allowed to deteriorate.
In short, the growling. In Its last
analysis. Is directed against the ad
ministration's economy policy.
Dissatisfaction In the navy depart
ment Isn't quite so acute. The person
nel, however, does fee the pinch of
tight times, and armament limita
tions are bitterly resented, too.
However, the nary men nre not so
seriously at odds among themselves.
Probably this Is due in part to the
fact, that they haven't been spilt by
the aviation dispute which has rent
the army.
Few if any airmen take the posi
tion that their service has rendered
nil others obsolete. Or, If they do,
they keep It to themselves.
Nevertheless the departmental at
mosphere is one of depression and
discouragement.
