MIGHTY POOR BUSINESS
At a recent session of the city council of Cottage
Grove, according to the Sentinel, the statement was
made that parents are purchasing cigarettes for their
children and thus defeating the purpose of the law
which forbids sale .of tobacco to minors. If that is
true, it furnishes further proof of the ( frequent charge
that much of the juvenile delinquency of which com
plaint is made in these modern days is traceable to the
parent
The parent, of course, may have his own ideas as to
the merits or demerits of smoking. It is true that the
weight of authority is overwhelmingly on the side of the
statement that smoking is harmful to the young, but
there are many who do not take much stock in the weieht
of authority. Such, presumably, would say to them
selves that if their children want to smoke, why, let
them smoke that the doctors don t know much about
it, anyway. j -
But there is another anele to the situation that is worth
considering the angle that bears upon the law -and its
observance. The law of Oregon says minors? shall; not
purcnase cigarettes, liut it the parent purchases the
cigarettes and gives them to the child, the law is circum
vented. There are some who will say that ,if the parent
wants to do that the responsibility is his and he- must
4ake the consequences.
But muse he take all the consequences? There is
involved in the transaction the circumventing of law
and the consequent promotion of disregard fdr law. One
of the first fruits of disregard for law is crime, and crime
and its prevention are the 'business5 of the public. The
parent who abets -his child in circumventing the laws is,
to say the very least, in mighty bad business. Eugene

gon Avenue, the estimated costs of
which are not available at the pres
ent time.
Sewer improvement has been con
spicuous by its absence. The san
itary conditions of the city, and
the health ef our citizens, depend
on the adequacy of our sewer sys
tems and disposal plants. The fact
that the United States government
contemplates making a survey of the
variouB cities of the Pacific Coast
during this next year emphasizes
this beyond ail dispute.
The maintenance, improvement
and repair of the city ball, the city
Jail and other city properties (ex
cluding the streets and the pres
ont inadequate sewer systems) has
been neglected too long. This work
must be done in the immediate fu
ture. Harmony Prevails
The work of the various depart
ments of Hie city, the committees
and boards, has been excellent as a
whole. One factor that has, in
my opinion, contributed more than
anything else, is that the head of
each department, with few excep
tions, has kept strictly to his own
department, and not allowed him
self or those under him to Inter
fere with the work of other de
partments. This policy will be more
strictly followed during the com
ing year.
The your lias been marked with
the absence of great fires such as
this community has been afflicted
with In the past. No doubt one
contributing factor has been great
er humidity of Ufa atmosphere than
is ordinarily enjoyed In thin, com
munity, but It also speaks well
for the business ebndltlonn of our
city. It is ii notable fact, familiar
to those Willi ;nv lliornughly versed
In fire Insurance, that fires arc inn;"
frequent when there is business do
1 pression. One authority tells that
when, (lew jiud. Improved structure.:
B 1 ! tit
spring from the -ruins;, of j the old,
the jitizens have confidence . la the
stability of their city, but when the
ruins lie in a scattered heap for
years, there is always a suspicion
as. to the origin of that fire. It
is notable that all damage done by
the fires in Klamath Falls during
the .past year. were repaired or re
built as soon as possible. To those
who know, this is a demonstration
of the dauntless spirit of- our citi
zens and the futurp. of onr city.
The work of the street department
has been excellent. Streets have
been repaired and the old, worn-
out and inadquate sewers kept ia
working order under-most adverse
conditions. In a city where com
moo laoor receives the wages it
does here, it is, a marvel that men
could be secured ,to perform such
obnoxious labor.
.Need More Police
The police department has don
excellent work, when we consider
there are not sufficient men to pa
trol the streets and secure the- jjto
tection to property and to the homes
that citizens- are entitled to. To
serve the public as it should, there
should be at least four mon- men
on tile police force. .During the
coming year this -problem will be
come more acute, especially when
we consider the prospective railroad
development which always -brlnj
a class of criminals ranging from
the sneak thief to- Lhe '. culture!
plunger who will not heslatte to rob
the unsuspecting. -
The service of the city attorney's
office has been of the highest or
der, it being a notable fact that
if an attorney were to perform like
services for any private corpora
tion. In would receive a salary far
in excess of the $100 per month
paid by the City of Klamath Palls.
Most of the regular committees
have worked with diligence and
self-bacrifico, and have cobperoted
with the heads . of the various de
partmjpais to secure i he 1 best-iiser-Ucc
to the ojty. Especially is this
(rue of the Street- Committee and
the finance committee. Any ncg
le'tfl "f any oomiiiilloj)i..lh this re
aped will' be rBhiedica ''during lhe
ensuing year.
While all special committees have
iloiie gortect work, the budget com-
city has profited by the exnerlenc
of these business meu, and owes
them a vote of thanks for their gen
erous service.
The Public Recreation Commit
tee has done a good work in se
curing the services of Miss Brad
bury, who. under the guidance oi
Mrs. Ackley, brought many hours o,
pleasure and joy to tie chiMjten Oi
this community. In, my opinion,
nothing lands to develop good elt;
eenship as much as the memory oi
a joyoivs.. childhood-., No one con
estimate the good done by this com
mittee. The Park Boanl i
While the park board is not under
the jurisdiction of the City of Klam
ath Fairs, I think it well to men
tion the work of thnt body. This
board! secured the services of Mr.
Sbidler who has done much to do-
Sewer System
While we have contemplated In
stalling a modem sewer system and
disposal plant we have come to no
definite plan whereby these union
needed improvements will he In
stalled In lhe Immediate future. .
Some thought has been given to
securing or building ti pest house
so that the health of the comnlunity
may be protected by quarantining
contagious and infectious diseases.
This should be hastened as much
-as possible, , ...
The condition of onr city jail
should he Investigated. It should
be enlarged and ieW beds should
be Installed. At the present time
we have only beds for eight pris
oners: ami .vr'- have had as hitch ay
twenty-eight confined In this Jail
at one time.
These are a
few of the many
