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. Among others fa
voring Increased exemptions also.
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

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
