$800,000 For Wind
A FEW people read the Congressional Record for In
nrmtinn. fewer still for entertainment; but Con
fresrman Underhill of Massachusetts has been peering
iV nocrp. of that breerr. some even say windy,
publication with something more than intelligent inter
est Aa chairman of the noue commiuee on account
h.. hn rVierkinir no its cost. As an example of the
high cost of congressional oratory his report is inter
ests b.
-h find that the eost last year was nearly eight
hundred thousand dollars, an increase over the previous
year Vf a hundred and seventy-live tnousana aouars.
Viith th exception of five hundred and twenty paid
subscriptions, all the thirty-eight thousand copies printed
are given to senators and representatives- for free dis-
jkribution.
nrlptaaUr the. Record was a report of the proceed
Inga. of congress and included only what was said at its
sessions, but lately it has been increasingly padded with
anaartiM that never were made.
For exaniple, a senator wishes to impress the folks
back home with his oratorical ability ana Knowledge
ahnnt anmethfnt? or other, and has his secretary write
or clip a few thousand words. He knows his colleagues
won't take time to listen, so he gets leave to print it in
the Record, and calls it a day. Later tne copies, pnntea
f vmKllft YnjTitt ir fnrwarded tn his district.
. It is this sort of padding that Mr. Underhill says is
rsnnnihU for the heavr exnense. and he nronerlv calls
it "a scandal and burden upon the taxpayers which is
unjustified. . , ; . " , . :
But this' is old stuff to congressmen. T They have
heard it before, and as Ion as the taxpayer are in
different they "should worry." -
' 1 The Way Of Trade-At-Honie
TN common with. most of the citizens of Klamath Falls
.The Evening Herald believes roost sincerely in the
advantages to be secured by the thorough practice of
trading-at-home."
jjl It is a doctrine that is often misunderstood, in .that
seine people"' would go so far as to demand a blind ad
herence to the theory without regard to the facts of the
situation. The. essence of such a course of conduct, if
it is to be a , community success, requires the intelligent
co-operation , of Klarnath Falls merchants as well as
JClamath Falls buyers. , ,
It is the paramount duty of local merchants, or sell
ers, to be alert in' their business, to present to their cus
tomers attractive goods, fairly priced in line with modern
competition and to keep np with the best modern mer
chandising practices elsewhere. This does not neces
sitate, or expect, the elaborate displays of metropolitan
stores, but it does mean meeting the prime essentials of
trading that make buying profitable to the buyer as well
as the seller. ,
y- The obligation which rests upon local citizens, as
buyers, demands that, before purchasing merchandise or
service out of town, they give Klamath Falls business
bouses the opportunity of handling the business. No
buyer should, through sheer laziness, or a careless idea
of economy, thoughtlessly send money from Klamath
Falls. The foolishness of such conduct can be easily
demonstrated to any reader who has the slightest doubt
of its correctness, or of its value to a civic community;
': Fortunately, we have had a generous observance of
the "trade-at-home" idea. Klamath Falls boasts many
progressive business houses, where service to the buyer
i. as much the keynote as profits to the seller. Of
course, this policy exists because, in the long run, busi
ness men know that it is an adjunct to profit-making.
Our local buyers, as a rule, do patronize local businesses,
arjd we are convinced, in the majority of instances, with
pleasure and profit

guishable from republic.

Up to the Farmer
Houston Post-Dispatch: The
government hasn't given any
thing to th drouth sufferers.
xcept the opportunity for them
to get deeper In debt, but under
present conditions th loans now
available, should be welcome.
Landlords, whose credit has been
cut off at banks, can borrow
from th government and buy
supplies for th tenants to en
able them to carry on during
tn coming year.
Having thus been given pubUc
aid. why shouldn't th farmers
In the drouth regions play fair
and adopt methods that will ob
viate th necessity of such aid
again? Why not capitalise their
experience It 1 safe to say
that the majority of those who
have been crying for aid were
one-croppera. On would not be
risking much to venture the
gueas that few of those most
desperately In ned hare been
making much effort to rain
their living on their places.
When revenue from th cotton
crop failed to com in and cred
it at th bank failed, they war
racing starvation.
Th cow, the aow, and th hen
eould do a lot to prevent a repe
tition of the situation now pre
vailing In Arkansas and som
other regions. The experience of
the last year emphasise the fact
that every farmer should pro
duce most of bis food and feed
requirement on hi place, and
not be dependent altogether for
a Uvlng on his staple crop.

and on the Important part th har

world. Surely co-operation be
tween the education authority and
the Clyde trust would lead to a
similar scheme being evolved, so
that Glasgow' children would
learn what their own river and

and their own welfare. ,
Lent Has It's Value
TPOO bad all of us do not in some manner observe Lent
i' The observance is pretty well confined to the mem
bers of a few churches principally the Catholic and the
Episcopal All of us need the discipline of Lent No
matter what our religious beliefs, it would be a fine bit
of' mental and moral exercise for us to deny ourselves
definitely for a few weeks each year. That sort of dis
cipline hardens the resistance to all the forces that lower
and belittle.

WASHINGTON. Thirty-four
men who fonght ens of th
bloodlae battles la American his
tory whll serving la th army
till ge unrecognised by th war
department, which hss no record
of their aervlr. Their survivors
never went on th pension rolls.

Montana toll th story to Illus
trate th tact that official rec
ords can sometimes he Incom
plete, to a vf- -'a loss. An
atnpl appear . a the cas of
Sergeant Homer Hortn. tor
whom a bill was Introduced to
provide an honorable discharge
so that h might rclv a Spaa-tsh-Amerlcan
War pension.
President Hoover vetoed th
bill bacaus th war department
had no record of Horln. Th
hons sustained th veto. Evsns
showed, however, that th cap
tain of Horln' company and
th major of his regiment, along
with th others, wall remembered
Horln' service In th Kentucky
Volunteer Infantry and that a
group of troop which avatred
what might have beca a serious
race riot.
Proved He Served '
On th dsy th men war sworn
la, Horln' child was Involved In
a serious accident and Horino ran
bom. He was sworn In alone a
few day later. It la alleged. Any
way, ther la plenty of evidence
that h served.
But Evan had a better story
than that how It men fonght In
one of th most desperate of all
Indian battles, a third of them
killed or seriously wounded on
th field, and prabably aaved a
command of 160 troops from an
nihilation. It was In 1177. tha vear after
th Custer mamcr. when the
.vos rerce tribe with 400 fighting
mea, under Chief Joseph, left It
reservation in Idaho and started
for Montana, with the Idea that
an tn Indians were going to get
togetner and wip out th whit
men. Ther were -few neoola In
Montana then and th Indians
at first defeated such troops aa
were sent against them. Little
companies of soldlrswer
formed in settlements tor protec
tion and mud forts were bent
One of th small unit waa John
B. Catlln's company ot volun
teers.
General Howard was following
ta Indian with 100 mea but
failed- to overtake them, running
tnree or four daya behind. CoL
John Gibbon cam in from an
other direction with 160. Catlln,
wno Baa con with hi company
of 14 to a mountain pass and re
tired whan he found th Indians
hopelessly outnumbered him. of
fered to join th pursuit Olb-
bon, badly in need of men,
promptly accepted th offer and
th expedition hastened on with
out bothering to swear la th
new recruits. Women and chil
dren of th section remained in
th mud forts.
Every Officer Hurt
Catlln'a company was In the
lead when th expedition bit the
Indians at daylight. Th Indians
soon had surrounded It.
Every officer in th command
waa killed or wounded. Thirty-
six whit fighters were killed and
18 wounded, a casualty percent
age of 40 per cent Biz of Cat-
Una' volunteer war killed and
as many wounded.
"It waa aa desperate a fight aa
tha nation probably ever had. ex
cept Custer' fight," Evana aays.
"Surrounded and greatly out
numbered, they fonght from day
light and late into the evening.
The night was cold and th men
were soaked from crossing and

no medical attendance and th
wounded suffered Intensely. The
Indians kept yelling and shoot-
