It has been hot in a national way for some rtme. Now, locally it has shot the thermometer up to tht popping off point. All sides are at it. Friends and foes of candidates seek to be heard and are being heard. None Are being excluded, although occasionally a little revision becomes necessary in the wording of their proclamations. , Great is'America where free speech reigns supreme. . It is wonderful to live in a community that has dif ferences of opinion, backed by men who take their stand. Yesterday, however, we found a green, inviting spot for the weary just from overwork. It was at the High school where the youth of Klamath entertained a num ber of the business and professional men. : As we looked at those fine boys and girls and com pared their fresh. clcr minds to the conditions that ob tain in a heated' political campaign, the thought came to us that they may have a better way of doings when they take charge. And again, they may not. But let us be lieve with all our hearts that the modern girl and the modern boy will improve upon the machinery that has been builded by the men and women of our time. V ' High school youth in high school temperment re freshed every guest. It was as having trod a dusty road for many miles and then suddenly have i-onie upon springs of fresh pure water, green grass and sweet flowers growing. t-rln Klincr , MilrrWI ; permit 1 tvan trt ly.iht aitntlnU- tratton upon rtun .reiunt frain th atuitrnt's imronia.

That he will be a husky son of his1 father and mother reflecting the fine health of these two excellent people and also, as time goes on, reflecting their excellent qualities and high ideals, is to be expected. The Herald force today sent the following message to Editor Malarkey: "God bless the boy. He is the tie that binds.

F. Chsic. It sounded like the whine of disappointed ambition, which no doubt it i. 1 am not an iue in this campaign. Neither ia Mr. Chase. What the people do want to know is why Burrell Short was party to a contract for cruising tho timber of Klamath Counly ut a cost of 20 cent an acre, when he could have had.it done for 8 cents? The Minor & Ryan cruise was done for" $9 a section. If the Minor & Ryan cruise was a "Huess", as Mr. Chase says, then what do you think of this: 1 IS THE CULLISON CRUISE A GUESS? What is known as the Jenny creek timber Is admittedly the fin est stand of pine timber in the world. It is in a favored location, -good soil and well watered. If any timber in the world, under similar circumstances, would show an increase in growth in 18 years, it would. The Culliiion cruise showed an increase of 3-3 per cent pine over the 1910 cruise. This territory was covered by the first lC0,C0O-acre contract. The second contract for 200,000 acres covered timber on thei high rigdes in the northern and eastern part of the county, admti- " tedly inferior, both in quality and soil conditions to the Jenny1 creek timber. The returned cruise showed an increase of over 20 per cent pine over the 1910 cruise. The cruise of each of these stands of timber was made by the same men. ' It had always been recognized as representing about 90 per cent cruise of the timber on the land, and was so accepted by both the county and the tim ber owners. Now is it reasonable to believe that in one district the pine timber increase will be 3" . percent and in the other over . 20 per cent? , ' WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO (KNOW IS THIS: IS THIS IN CREASE IN THE SECOND CONTRACT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COUNTY COURT STATED THAT UNLESS THERE WAS GREATER INCREASE SHOWN THAN WAS FOUND UNDER THE FIRST CONTRACT. THERE WOULD RE NO FURTHER CRUISING DONE BY THE FIRM IN QUESTION? . . - Some' of the timber included in the second contract changed ownership since 1924, and tract after tract is now on the tax rolls, because of the county cruise, for more timber than there is cn the land. The cruise upon which the sale was made was satisfactory to the buyer and seller. I ask you if that looks like a square deal in that transaction? If it can be shown that there are a number of claims with similar discrepancies, what becomes of the cruise? And if the court knocks out the cruise, what becomes of the $132, 847.63 that it will cost the county? Now as to the contract: A forty-acre tract has, according to the cruise of the owner, 400,000 feet of pine and 200.000 feet of fir. The Edgar & Culli son cruise shows tht.t it has 503,000 feet of pine and 100,000 feet of fir. The total stumpage in each case is the same, but the high priced pine is cruised for 25 per cent more than it should be and the low-priced fir for 50 per cent less than1 there is actually on the forty. Under the provisions of the contract there is no remedy for the owner, as the contract specifically says that if the cruise comes within 10 per cent of the total footage of all species it shall stand, whereas it should have segregated the different varieties, thus giving the owner a chance to make an effective protest and have the cruise corrected. The contract is so worded that it is possible for Edgar & Cullison to cruise pine high and fir low, and thus secure a big increase in the percentage of high priced pine and low percentage of cheap fir, and yet be fully within the terms of their contract, leaving the owner helpless to secure any relief. I am reliably informed that there arc over 10,000 acres of tim ber land belonging to one owner where just such a condition ex ists. What would you do under the same circumstances? Would you consider that your representative tho county court in this in stance had given you a square deal under "such a contract? Would you fed that instead of serving your interests, which it was hired to do, it had served the interests of the contractor and left you holding the sack? . This matter is placed before you because of my absolute confi dence in the honesty and fair play of the people of this county. Under conditions as they exist now, each one of us is a partner in this lumber industry game, and it is up to us to see that every mem ber of the firm is given a square deal. Not only is the timber cruising question and the vicious attack upon the timber industry of this county an issue in this campaign, but there are other things that Mr. Short has been asked to explain, and not a syllable has been uttered. The people want to know: Why it cost $4,464.19 for gasoline in 1926, and only $1,508.26 in 1927? When this money was being squandered burned up were you shedding tears about the heavy tax burden of the poor tax paver? Why didn't you exercise the same consideration for the tax payer in this instance that you claim you are exercising now in the matter of the timber industry tax? , Why did you permit your relative to Use a county car in the conduct of his private business? Was it to lift the burden off the back of some poor taxpayer? Why did you permit the extravagance in the construction of highways that was the rule during the two years prior to the elec tion of Judge Goddard and Horace Dunlap? Why don't ycu answer the specific questions relating to your conduct in office propounded by the. Klamath County Courier and the Chiloquin Review? These are matters of vital interest lo the taxpayers and voters of the county. They are part of your record, and it is iipon your record you are before the people, and it is this same record that tells them what you will do if 'you are re-elected." If everything is open and aboveboard, then lay your cards on the table, take the people into your confidence and tell them what they want to know. ' Time and space will not permit me to ask you the scores of ' questions' that I asked the' defeated county judge two years ago, and which to this day remain unanswered. But answers lo these will be sufficient to show your good faith. : V. E. J. MURRAY. Paid Advertisement i - ' , ' ' M h
