And the best way to attain that economy and do the least damage is to make careful plans. Laying the groundwork for the tax-levying . boards and their budget committees could and should therefore bfdone ahead of budget-making time. The responsible and intelligent people of the community and county could well give the matter their attention, even this early in the game. , It is an idea of County Assessor W. T. Lee s that much could be accomplished by a cooperative budget making program in which all the levying boards of the county participate. Fortunately, m this county, budget making authority is fairly well concentrated W e have the county the city, the county school unit, Klamath Union high school district and the city elementary school district five where in many other counties there are dozens of tax-levying districts. The idea would be to end competitive budget-making between the various boards. All together, they would work out a plan providing each division with its bud getary needs but keeping in mind the welfare of the ultimate taxpayer as affected by ALL of the various taxes to be levied against his property. The suggestion has its possibilities. It would be well to give it some sound thought WASHINGTON Newt Behind th Newt Iti liuld Story Fran Th Capital By PA CI. HAIXON Copyright, lilt, by Paul Mallon SIDE GLANCES- Point of View THE Italian newspaper II Popolo d'ltalia, which is own ed by Mussolini himself, foresees the decline and fall of the United States. Why? Because the birth rate is falling. , . ' This, says the paper, shows a "paralysis of energy .-J .;n occult w lr.no- in national decadence. auu rr ii'i luiu w o . , , .... . . ,i j "Within several generations," it aaas, ine Dirina aim deaths will be equal, and then the crumbling of Amer ica's skyscrapers will begin." Before getting too gloomy about this, it is well to re member that Mussolini is constantly telling the Italians about the beauties of a high birth rate; and when one recalls that Ita'y is already overpopulated, and that furthT population pressure can only add to the dis astrous tensions of European politics, one suspects that America's falling birth rate will prove less dangerous than Italy's rising one. It is refreshing to hear a 100 per center like Claude Ingalls. The Corvallis editor, who addressed the annual chamber of commerce dinner,, adheres strictly to one doctrine. If he is ever assailed by doubt, he keeps the fact well-hidden. Between the views of Mr. Ingalls and of those way over on the left, whom he despises, is a great middle ground of opinion whereon the majority trods. That is probatly a good thing, but it is interest ing and instructive to hear one with such fixed and un shakable ideas that classify so unquestionably on one side of the dividing line of political thought Wednesday is Memorial Day. The various patriotic and veterans organizations of Klamath Falls, as well as other Klamath count' communities, are sponsoring tra ditional ceremonies in honor of the war dead. In this obser-ance they deserve the consideration and attention of the whole people. Telling the Editor FROM MR. ASHURST KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor I wish to express my sincere appreciation through the columns ot this paper tor the confidence and esteem manifested In me by the voters of Klamath county in the primary election just held. It will be my ambition and de sire to continue to merit the con fidence and esteem, not only of those who cast tbelr votes for me in the primaries, but of all of the cltltens ot this county and community. I wish to thank the editor of this paper for the fair and im partial treatment accorded my self and other candidates in this campaign. EDWARD B. ASHURST.

Joseph Miller, Jr., New York educator. WASHINGTON, May IS World statesmen are Rotting hot headlines again by digging the disarmament question out of its grave for a brief official airing at Geneva. The exhumation ceremony this year is recognised by old hands here in the state department as the annual spring European cris is. As crises go In Europe, this one has a slightly more sensa tional background than nsual. Our people are privately wor ried, but not Melted. The Inner problem l not dis armament, but keeping up the Illusion that there la any hope for disarmament. All the na tions are building more ships and guns and do not Intend to atop. All know there Is no more chance for a disarmament agree ment than there Is for Hitler and the French to shake hands and make up. None ot the nations at neart really wanta disarmament, ex cept the United States and Rus sia, and you cannot be . sure about Russia while war with Japan la a possibility. PROSPECTS It the cooler heads have their way, the Geneva conference will not be permitted to end In fight. There will be a lew pious expressions to cover over current International III feeling. After a few days of brotherly love, the disarmament issue will be re-interred in the same quiet graveyard where the London economic conference lies. Then everyone can go home and build more ships and guns. That is the most our people really hope for. That Is what they think will happen. It sounds silly, but it is tne only sensible thing to do. A pious expression ot a hopeless hope Is better than a brawl. PREPARATIONS The statesmen got themselves in the proper spiritual attitude for such an armed love-feast when thev agreed that the Rus so-Japanese situation would not be thought of at tne conierence. It wonld be Just as. easy to eliminate oxygen from the air in Geneva. It is similarly difficult for the Franco-German situation not to be considered in actions, if not in words. France and Germany are brist ling so mnch with war talk that a few days ago, when the French moved two army corps to the Alsatian border, numer ous residents of a town abandon ed their homes and slept the night in the woods. They thought the shooting might start any minute. Somewhat the same underlying temper of the people was mani fest when the Hitlerites raided an antl-Hltler. society headquar ters in the Saar and contiscatea tho names of society memoers, aparently for use in determining who snouia vote in uw i plebesclte next year. Feelings like those cannot bo suppressed by agreement. RvmFRAGEMEXT The U. S. diplomats wm never inv M nUDHClV. UUl luc. niosorf in see France and Rus- . . . , sia moving towara a aeiensiv alliance.

S.-BRITArX The Japanese situation Is driv ing us closer and closer to Great Britain In the backstage align ments.
