WHY THE ANXIETY?
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.

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.
"What do your own figures show
for the tint unit. Th .' a li p-e
cent Inoreaso In Pino timber, the
only lumber that Is really worth
anything in Klamath county. Tint
amounts to JTo.uuo additional valu
ation which will bring the county
Just 12100 ti year more.
tPJltm iw Uo.odo
"In other words. (tlOO Is the net
gain tioni th" w-erul.;e of 100, ooo
acres of timber for wtileh the coun
ty paid 120.000. Klgitre It out for
your.-elf."
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

There an other stands, assessed by
virtue of the foruter cruise, whleli

or Hre. So It works both ways end
it will adjust all wrongs In the
Klamath timber 'situation, we fe d
sure.
County Seeds triilslng
"The cruise may or tuny not
show a large Incrcusu In standing
pine. But whether it does or not.
it will at least Ut us know an I
those who come after lis, where
wo are at. Aud I feel that the
cruise is Justified for that reason."
The hearing went on and on for
hours and when It finally adjourned
the parties to the dispute Were no
closer to adjustment of their diffi

hearing opened.
