The Klamath News, voicing the sentiments of it mast ers, commends the farmers in their decision to take into the courts the vicious Link river dam contract. That the people may know what this power company mouthpiece had to say we quote : ''During the Klamath irrigation district election this fall, one side the majority adopted a slogan. It was: 'We own the water let us keep it.' The thought back of that slogan was a sincere belief that the power company, with the connivaiu of the Reclamation Service had stolen water belong ing to the project. Water users were told, and many believed, that the power should be made to pay a great share of the heavy cost of water to the farmers and more. The farmers were told the power com pany should be made to pay the construction costs of the project. And closing it says'- "He (Bradbury) and the other members of the board will be small potatoes, indeed, and unworthy of future support from their constituents, if they allow this important matter to lapse." Why the anxiety? Since w'hen has this power com pany mouthpiece earned the privilege to even suggest Vrliat the farmers of the district should or should not do? After bending every energy at its command to def( : the will of the farmers, after lending what little aid it had to enthrone the will of the reclamation service and The power company and meeting with overwhelming de feat, it now has the effrontery to pose as the farmer's friend, to manifest an interest in his welfare. Like every Benedict Arnold, it is trying to ingratiate itself into the confidence of the farmer in the hopes that the betrayal may be the more effective. When the board of directors of the Klamath irrigation district decides what is best for the farmers, the con clusion will be reached after securing the advice of friends and turning a deaf ear to the suggestions of enemies. ARE THE FRENCH RIGHT? If the landlord reduces your rent (of eourse, this is a mere supposition) but the grocer raises prices (you r.rasp this mere easily), your Hank account is not im proved. Neither is the taxpayer's situation materially altered by the economy program of the Federal govern ment, for the states squander public money, faster than Uncle Sam call save, State and municipal taxes are mounting while the Coolidge administration is making; reductions. It is estimated that the people of California had to pay $674.62 for every one of the four hundred and sev nine laws that the last legislature passed. The American situation amazes and amuses European observers. Now the French newspapers are telling their astanished readers that a new law is made as often as a baby is born in the United States. They explain that a man is elected to office to manufacture, not to enforce, iaws. Aren't they right? January Sunset. Kentucky Town Has Three Sons In Congressi By ril.MU.KS P.

Judge: K '.plains To the statements made by tim ber representatives that the coal of' cruising waj exorbitant. Judge Bunnell rend tehrrams from dif ferent counties In the stale, in which the cruise was uciomplishcd for from 2u to 25 cei;:. an aero. "But you can't compare a fit stand county with n plno stand county." Arthur Hay. .representative of the Long Bel! .umber company interests, objecttd. "Tlicy uru as different as hay and straw." ' Mr. Cullison rut In: "Crook county, a pine stand coun ty, paid 25 cents an aero for a county cruise," he said. "Well, they were robbed," Kim ball shot back. Want 'Authentic Cruleo Tho county Judge explained to the objectors tiiat the purpose In paying 20 cents an acre for the cruise was to insure the county of an absolutely authentic cruise. He intimated that if the job were open to bids, u group of cruisers, con trolled by private timber Interests, would step in. bid lowest for the cruising contract and return an In correct cruise, for which the county would suffer. "It has been done before, has been a common practice In fact," he explained. "That's why we toon this move. We felt that It won til be worth tho money to have a real timber entitle, one which we could depend upon and one which would serve this county for years to com?. I still thijil: it. One has to pnv something c-x'r.: for reliability. Against Advertising "There has been talk of the con tract not being advertised. We did j not open tho Job for bids because we wanted lu protect the county. Show me any other county In the ! slate that has let county crueic contracts to Ihe lowest bidders. What We did '!,, was carry on ne- gaUatlottu with a number of dif ferent flrmi, as iir rncotdi win shew, and finally solepl the firm of Edgar ami PuUUou us the most re pooalble cruising firm available to us ut that time."" Judge Kuykendall Introduced die second point. "We. that Is the timber holders of this county," he mild, "pay forty per cent of the taxes. What wo are prhtNttOI aK.ilnst principally li the useless Ojtpendfttira of Money, us high taxpayer". The ftret ttult of the cruise Is all right. It show ed only a net increase of 'J'a per cent on plno timber which won't hurt ua any. But we object to spending the money HUs year and (or Hie Hours to conic on Ibis Um ber crdlap, b oca use we an 4o per Timber (trulse Cat 2 cent tax payers must foot a large proportion of the bill.

Judge Muiinell In-lsted that it wasn't primarily to get a big lucres- in limber valuation that the ro-crulse was Instituted, "Wo want." hi' said, "a Solid foundation to work front. There ar ceriain tracts of tlinbor 'that arc standing and not being aseessodj There an other stands, assessed by virtue of the foruter cruise, whleli hne been destroyed by beetle bugs or Hre.
