Friday, December 13, 1929 Another Railroad THE Interstate Commerce Commission's order to the Union Pacific System to construct a railroad from Crane to Crescent Lake, a distance of 185 miles, has much significance for Klamath Falls. The road, if con structed, bring another transcontinental line to this ounty and if it eomes to the county, why ihould it not tnter this cityT ' Klamath basin, left high and dry for many years Ss far as rail service was concerned, now has two major lines serving it. True, the Great Northern has not launched a regular service but it is here and biding time until the Interstate Commerce Commission says it may jo on south. The Southern Pacifie handles the bigger share of its traffic over the Klamath Falls division, giv ing this, section splendid sen-ice and disbursing extensive payrolls. What has transpired in Klamath Falls and the basin ts but a forerunner f the development to come, and which now appears close at hand. We are approaching the culmination of that dream of the master railroad builder, E. H. Harriman, who more than a quarter of a tentury ago visualized the settlement and development of this great outdoor land, and but for whose untimely demise the development now taking place should have been accomplished years earlier. Oregon's Public Service Commission mapped out a program of railroad building seven years ago. Klamath Falls has already reaped ' the benefit of this program to the extent of two railroads and there is reason to believe that a third major line will come here. One of the principal lines advocated aa of unlimited benefit to the state was the Crane-Crescent Lake railroad. The other roads have been built and this one alone remains to be accomplished. When it is in operation Oregon will have a more direct line to the east for a very large por tion of the state and Klamath Falls is so situated as to derive direct benefit from it. There appears to be ample reason for this section to urge the building of this line and steps should be taken ) back up the Interstate Commerce Commission in its decision. ED ITORIA IS From Over the Nation - OUR BIO 5AVT LUJiATICS Detroit News: Opponents of (aval redaction hare recently made a treat discovery, on hlch the? base a strenuous argument Tbey gar that to arm a merchant hip with six-Inch (ana makes her vessel of war, aad than they point out-for example, the Army and Nary Journal that on a d. 000-ton basis Great Britain and her dominions hare 1,367 Teasels and the United States 1,380; on aa 8,000-ton baaie. Great Britain 414, America 143: on a 10,000 ton basis. Great Britain 225, America SO ships. Assuming the accuracy ot these figures, the fact remains that in ease ot war Great Britain must be victualed from outside, while the United States pot only grows enough food '"r herself, but ex sorts raet quantities. Great Brit Sin, therefore, might arm her mer chantmen, but she would not be able to use many of them as In lagers of her nary; aa in the last war, she would still need the vast majority ot them for her carrying trade. Germany, with all her nary but a few submarines swept from the seas or bottled up In harbor, was nevertheless able to bring the British Isle within a few weeks of narration. Does anyone in), glne that British statesmen do not take these matters Into ac count when they proclaim that war with the United Btstes is n. thinkable? i Our big nary men still continue to think in terms ot an Anglo American conflict; a conflict that has been guarded against In treaty Iter treaty; conflict which Great Britain aays is unthinkable tiorsuss It would be suloljsl, Our trig nary men continue to time kstaclea In the way ot a move ment Initiated by the United Slates and chiefly carried on by Ike United BLstes, regardless or who lasnes invitations to limita tion conferences. They persist in hinting that Great Britain, vul nerable not only because ot her situation but because ot a restive India and Jealous Europe, may sums day risk the very existence t the British empire br entering Into war with the United States.

IS Fre quently one hears lbs house holder or housewife muttering about the good old daya when eggs wers "only 10 cents doien," talking aa If egvs were horrible eiampls of ths way ths cost of living has gose up since Ihs war. Fact Is, eggs are (bout the cheapest thing anyone can bty for a meal, If yon compars pre sent prices with pre-war prices. Eggs lsst yesr coat lees than 3t per cent mors than ths skis of 1313 coat In 1313, wh cross near ly all the other commoner ar ticles ot food showed an Increaso of from mors ttisn to per cent up to nearly 100 per cent. The ouly foods ot Importance which haven't gone up higher lh pro portion than eggs ars sngsr, lard snd rlcs. see Thus, snyons who lives on a diet ot eggs can maka his money go further aa compared with pre war prices than by other method. Insofar aa food is concerned unless, of course, one cares to lire on rice, which Is a much better bargain. Hers Is a list showing the percentage et In creases of 1933 food prices over 113 prices: .

If anyone doesn't believe theee figures hs ess ask ths U. 8. Buresu ot Labor Statistics, which went to a great deal ot trouble In compiling them. e e e This bureau haa figured It out that food waa a Uttls cheaper In 1300 than In 1330. but that after that It went up gradually from year to year antll In 1813 It was nearly It per cant higher than at ths dawn of ths century. If one's memory is any good there wss a lot ot talk In ths 1913 prestdentlsl campaign about the high cost of living." but the election et a Democrat didn't do any good bscauss food prlcss went right on rising. In 1930 retail food prices wers twice ths prices ot 1911, almost exact ly. No donht many persons till blams tba Democrat (or thst, but ss a matter ot fact tt was the war. By dextrous work with Indei numbers ths bursau statlstlcsns Bow decide iBbt toon in suae cost only 75 or 80 per cent as much as It did la 1920.
