Eighth Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon. E J. MURRAY . W. H. PERKINS Entered as second class matter at the postoffice at Klamath Falls. Oregon, under act of March 3, 1S79. Member of the Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use of re publication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other wise credited in this paper and also the local news published therein. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Tin Evening Herald is the official paper of Klamath County and the City of Klamath Falls. Saturday, October 17, 1925 THE FIGHT FOR $300,000 Mayor Goddard is deserving of the everlasting appre ciation of the people of this city for his placing before the Interstate Commerce Commission the city's demand for return of the $300,000, and interest, that was given Robert E. Strahorn, to be used in the construction of a railroad from Klamath Falls to Bend, a railroad that would furnish the connecting link over which would come the Northern lines to this city. Mayor Goddard went to Portland at his own expense. He went there under the handicap of not being officially designated to represent the city by the city council. If Klamath Falls had a city council that was working in the interests of the people of Klamath Falls and not in the interest of the Southern Pacific, it would have sent Mayor Goddard and City Attorney Carnahan; it would have officially intervened; it would have enabled the city's legal representative to have set in at the hearing and examined Mr. Strahorn and the Southern Pacific officials. Instead Mayor Goddard had to appear before the Commission as the representative of the Public Service Commission of Oregon. But through his individual, unaided efforts, we were able to learn that Robert E. Strahorn, as far back as 1919, when he was doing so much talking about "my railroad," when he was carry ing on the negotiations for "bonds" to the city in lieu of the $300,000, was flirting with the Southern Pacific and finally did make an out-and-out deal with that corpora tion in 1923. What Klamath Falls needs is a city council that is not owned by the Southern Pacific. The second ward is going to have an opportunity to select one on the. twenty eighth and' on that selection will depend whether or not Mayor Goddard's efforts to protect the city will be set at naught through the power of the council to pass over his veto measures and resolutions that he may disap prove. Back of the candidacy of O. A. Smith are the men who have" been doing the dirty work for the South ern Pacific in this city in its desperate effort to shut out the Northern lines. If he is elected, it will mean that the mayor will be powerless to maintain the stand that has been so fortunate for this city. Smith must be de feated; he must be overwhelmingly defeated, so that these men and the Southern Pacific, as well as those who are trying to steal the public thoroughfares of the city, will understand that Klamath Falls is, for all time, through with their questionable methods. TAX REDUCTION TO HI FIRST SAY IN SESSION Congress Will Go to Work First Thing on pro posed Plan WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. (IP) Definite agreement has been reached among house administration leaders to give the prospective tax reduction bill right of way uppn the opening of congress in December. Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee, which meets here Monday to prepare the bill which it Ib expected will cut at least $300,000,000 from the tax payers' toll next year, said today a measure will be ready for presentation on the opening day of the Besslon. The house will be able to pass the bill before Christmas holidays, Mr. Green predicted. With senate leaders planning to rush action on it there, final enactment of a measure, nr. teen days before first payments of the new yoar are due, is believed pos sible. Interest centers mainly in the pro-, posed redactions in Income taxes, with loaders of both parties prepared to ask slashes in both the normal rates and Burtaxes.

Representative Garner, Texas, rank lug democrat' on the committee, has come out with n proposal by which about 3,000,000 persons would be ro llevod of paying any income tax, he would raise the exemption for single Persons Horn vlOOO to (3500 and . . .

Medforcl, Oregon Phone 110 118 South Dartlett I News of the Klamath Country Editor ; 1 have read the report tit the soil exports on the tule Iambi and would say that they ore evidently not fa miliar with reclaimed tulo binds 1 have worked on some of the land In the district north of Lower lake and this year have cut 24 sucks of rye to tlie aero. The land Is peat and Is good depth and everlasting as to pro duction. I have farmed for tt'.e last 30 years In reclaimed lands ami some of the land, where not burned to great depth, is still the most produc tive in California, and is valued at $150.00 to $300.00 per aore. The Delia lauds of San Joaquin, raid Contra Costa counties are mostly owned by small holders of SO to 300 acre. Some large tracts are still owned by individuals. The peat btnd hero is not so course and is inexpen sive to work, compared with Cali fornia tule lauds. They state that there is a small acreage planted, the rest in woods. What Is needed Is the cultivation of the lands, and there will be au aston ishing result in or 4 years, for the more peat land is farmed the better it gets. At present those lands in Ore gon are in this same condition as the poat lands wjre iu California 15 years ago when laud could be pur chased for $10 to $40 per aero. 01 course the burden falls upon the one:; who put the lands In state of culti vation and If they are assisted and can see tho pioneering through, will come out with fortunes. I am not a soil expert, but a practical farmer, and can speak from experience, not theory. The laud after being worked two or three years will then be in condi tion for diversified cropping. It Is, of course, to be expected, bad years. They are so In any country. What ought to be done hero Is that In some way peoplo holding these lauds be compelled to cultivate them or be subject to a tax which would make it compulsory for them to do so. The soil experts say the land Is porous and spongy. Who ever saw peat land that wasn't? Cultivation overcomes this. Speaking of irrigation and drain age: Waerevor reclaimed lands are irrigated there must bo a system of drainage. There will then bo no al kali aud the land can be washed out, freeing it from alkali. This also puts into peat lands what is needed, potash and phosphates, which comes in from upper land with the water. The peat lands have an over abund ance of nitrogen. Regarding pump, ing, I will cite one caso of a com pany owning 7000 acres in one of the islands of San Joaquin county. They have a system of drainage and operate fire pumping plants of 100 horsepower each. The cost of operat ing Is about $1.00 per acre per an num. Of course the lands here have some advantage over California, na tural water fall for irrigation. Many places in California have to pump the water for irrigation. The advantages are greater here many instances than clown there, for here we do not have flood waters to contend with. I own a farm of 280 acres on one of the reclamation projects In San Joa.QUln county, that bus been farmed for Sit years, and today Is us produc tive us nt any Mine before. 1 may be presuming in taking this jsiuud ugulnst thi' soil exports of Washington, lou I would suggest they ' make a sttulv of the history' of Cali fornia reolnlinod poat lands, and It ; probably would enlighten them on ! the future of reclaimed lauds lu Ore gon.
