In the meantime, and until it is all over, they intend to report in the news columns every bit of newsworthy in formation - about the political situation they can get hold of. Already, the between-the-llne readers are on the job. They are determined to place these newspapers on this aide or that, because of something they read in the news columns. There are, for instance, anti-Mahoney folks who tear their hair, and would like to tear ours, every time this Mahonev irovernorshiD talk srets into the paper. Now we have nothing to do with the insofar as they are 01 news interest, we are going to pnm what we can learn about them. Anyone who will give this a little impartial thought will agree that the posait?il " ity of a Mahoney candidacy for governor is a matter of hot news interest in Klamath Falls. People buy this news- paper to read about matters of hot news interest, even it they tear their hair when they do so. , - Here's another example: Because our news-hungry . reporters did a little sleuthing and wrote what they could learn about this recall affair at the courthouse, a lot of folks seem to have the idea we are fostering the recall. A lot of other folks have the idea we are trying to squelch it Now we do our voluntary fostering and squelching in . this column. If the news has that effect, that's not our lookout . ! . One thing more, lest there by a misunderstanding: In what is commonly called a signed story, the reader may find things that don't seem quite to check with the above explanation. The objective, however, will be to keep these stories INTERPRETATIVE rather than OPINIONATED, with prejudice and partisanship suppressed. With these objectives set out for ourselves, and ac cepted in good faith by our readers, we hope to go through the coming campaign rendering honest and wholesome newspaper service. , .-. - . V Attractive Project v INDICATIONS are the civil works administration will look with favor on construction of an undergrade cross ing on Main street if about $20,000 for materials can be raised from local or railroad sources. If that be so, here is an opportunity to get a $135,000 job for around 120,000. It would seem that the railroad company would wel come such an opportunity to help in eliminating the pres ent dangerous grade crossing on Main street. Ultimately, the job is going to have to be done, probably with the railroad standing at least half the total expenses, unless it be handled as a public or civil works project. The undergrade crossing is an attractive project, both from standpoints of usefulness and employment Mate rials for such a job, however, run quite high, and this is the point that will sidetrack the project unless local or . railroad financing can be found. Have We a Recall? It is premature to draw any definite conclusions about the rumored recall movement. The recallers, if there are such, have not made publfb the reasons for their antici pated action. This newspaper, however, does not hesitate to say it is not a recall enthusiast. Malfeasance in office is about the only excuse for this drastic measure, and even that can be remedied through the courts. If voters get out of the habit of changing their minds every few months, perhaps they will do a little more sound thinking before they cast their ballots. This observation is particularly appropriate to a situation where the same group that puts a man into office is found later trying to throw him out, as was the case with Governor Meier recently.

WASHINGTON News Behind the New TlM Inaido Story Fro Th Uatllal Bj PAUL MALLON Oopyrtght, 1111, by Paul Halloa WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. Th president appears to be subtluy wooing th veterans' bloo In cou- gres with post. On such vt ldr gets a bou quet vr so often In th form of a Tennesi Valley Improve ment projeot for his horn dis trict. If th eourtshlp last much longer vn th air will be loc- trlfltd tor his horn folks. Such flower ar favorites with all congressman. Thy ar guar anteed to win th hardest polit ical atari. INTENTIONS Nvrthtlss som stronger wooing may b necusary to keep congress from going oontrary to Mr. Roosevelt's wishes regarding veterans' conomle. It Is a dangerous sub-surface Issue, on on which th adminis tration stands k chance of being beaten. Mr. Roosevelt gave in a little by restoring about one-third ot what the American Legion want' ed. That failed to quiet th clamor. With congressmen com' Ing up tor election in th fall, th veterans' rot ts eagerly sought Republican senators ar guar anteeing that the issue wl(l be lurceo. oeiore toe senate tor a vote. Action in tbe house has been delayed. Chairman Rankin of the house veterans committee has postponed hearings several times. a a a TARIFF Administration mouthpieces have kept comparatively quiet about the fact that Mr. Roose velt has had a tariff message to congress on his desk now for days. As a matter of fact he had a tariff message prepared for the last session ot congress and did not choose to send it This current one is supposed to be in the form of a report from George Peek, who has been investigating trade possibilities. Mr. Roosevelt's backwardness about releasing his tariff plans la based on the knowledge that they will raise a fuss in con gress. He tore op his first tariff message last spring because his congressional leaders told him th session would be endless it he raised that issue. They are telling him the same thing now. In such cases the president usually concocts a scheme where by he can get what he wants without arousing the opposition. He is supposed to be thinking along that line now. a MILLS Complete lack of comment from national republicans of the Ogden Mills off-season keynote speech was not due to disinter estedness, but to dismay. The brilliant New Yorker's oration In Topeka was interpre ted by his party colleagues here privately as more funereal tntan necessary. They say the party must offer the farmer something beside the tariff and tbe country something beside generalized op position. They did not realize what Mills was np against. He had to say something stimulating polit ically, and yet avoid specific is sues. The truth Is the republicans have a franchise on politics. They must run a street car over the line every so often or they will lose the franchise. The Mills speech was just one of those kinds of cars. a a POLITENESS Public works directors have adopted a slick scheme for turn ing down projects they do not like. They cannot afford to reject offers tor fear of arousing re sentment, so they attach Impos sible demands to projects tbey do not favor. In one case recently they ap proved a project with a proviso Now, if iZr-- ( NO NO- MUSTM'T dlDE GLANCES-&von.O" "I'd rather stay horn with you, that 50 per cent of the money should bo raised by private cap ital. Tbey knew it would be Im possible to raise any such amount privately. In that way they get around unsatisfactory projects which are strongly backed pollt lcally by prominent democrats, a a a TAPE A typically political red tape yarn of Washington Is the one about the aviation ground school location. The lusuo has been up in the air for years. Tbe army has been recom mending an Ohio site near Day ton. Congress has been falling to follow tho recommendation for so long that General Foulols has tossed up his hands and said he does not care where it is estab lished if congress will just please establish It somewhere. Some years ago congress auth orized construction of the school at Chanuts field, Illinois. The war department declined to spend the money. Assistant Sec retary Trubee Davison said the appropriation was pure pork Later General Fechet of the air corps recommended Dayton, but the house appropriations commit tee again selected Chanute field In the Garner pork barrel bill of 1932. That selection was eliminated on tbe house floor through the efforts of representative Harlap ot Ohio. Last summer the PWA started to offer money for the school, without designating the spot for It. The Illinois boys thought that would mean selection ot the Dayton Bite, and tbey blocked the PWA movement. Harlan Is trying to arouse the Ohio congressional gang. The Illinois crowd Is sitting tight. The army still favors Dayton quietly. Meanwhile there Is no satis factory school. Seniors Select Motto for Class ' By John Sweeney Klamath High Correspondent "Out of school life, into life's school," was the motto chosen by the senior class at a meeting at the Klamatb high school. Blue and silver were selected as class colors while sweet peas were chosen as the class flower. The graduation committee, composed of Wilbur Jones, Jack Roper, Barbara Wales and Mar garet Carmen, has selected tho announcements to be used. Jones explained the cost of the signa ture cards and announcements. It Could Only Be Educated dear, but buslnoss Is business."
