Tragedy Season
SNOW on the streets of Klamath Falls. Slick, icy pave
ments that afford little traction to wheels locked by
brakes... Children crossine the streets on their way to
school. Pedestrians precariously sliding into safety zones
as autos slither by within a few feet ot them.
Those were the conditions in Klamath Falls Tuesday
morning, and there will be many another such morning
in the next six months.
Those who take chances under such conditions are go
ing to come to grief, sooner or later. There will come a
moment when tragedy suddenly looms before them, when
their agonized efforts to avert it come to naught.
The terrible details of what can happen in an automo
bile accident were brought out in the two-death mishap
near Lorella Saturday night Two young people, their
lives before them, were suddenly and unexpectedly hurled
from a careening automobile. Their heads were bashed
onen. their brains strewn over the rocks of a lonely hill
side. Klamath officers, answering a frantic midnight
telephone call, came upon a scene of gory horror when
they arrived at Lorella.
This enuntv has had many such accidents. Last fall
six persons were drowned in the icy waters of canals
along the Weed-Klamath highway, all in the space of
two weeks. . . , .
It is in the fall and winter that driving hazards in
crease. There has been many a lesson in tne terriDie
rnnspniiAnees of carelessness under such conditions. Those
who disregard those lessons will provide the shocking ac
cident stories of the coming oaa weatner monuis.
He Captured Skiens
A FORMER Klamath Falls man, C. L. Jamison, was one
f -tha-two state livestock inspectors who captured
Toby Skiens, desperate rangeland character, at a lonely
Owyhee river ranch -house Sunday night. Mr. Jamison
lived here until a year or so ago. He was livestock ad-
inster for the American and First National banks, and
field man for the Production Credit association. He
moved from here to Canyon City, and has been serving
with the state livestock inspection department and as
secretary of -the Oregqn Cattle and Horse Raisers' associa
tion. .., i, ' .
Mr. Jamison and Eldon Madden were eating dinner
at the ranch house Sunday night wnen aniens, aamiueu
. horse thief and sought as an alleged murderer, rode into
the yard.v Jamison held a gun on bKiens wnue maaaen
"frisked"" the fugitive, removing his revolver. Thus
' ended a ten-weeks' hunt through the rugged southeastern
Oregon country. . .
This was not a new experience to C. L. Jamison. He
could tell many a similar hair-raising story of incidents
in his many years spent in the Oregon cattle country.
Probably no man in Oregon is more seasoned m exactly
this type of work than Jamison. When Jamison started
on the trail of Toby Skiens, the horse-thief's chance of
escape was lessened by many degrees.
Jamison's many friends here will read the story of
Skiens capture with particular interest.
Douglas and Realities
(Coos Bay Times)
ONE of the actual, although not expressed, objections
of fiscal liberals to the presence of Lewis W. Douglas
in the office of director of the budget, was his insistence
upon looking upon the nation's finances with the eye of
realism. Mr. Douglas customarily saw things as they
were and not as some of his highly imaginative associates
envisioned them. Consequently there came the conflict
which resulted in his retirement from a key post in the
administration. His loss has been felt seriously ever
SmCSolely from the viewpoint of national interest, and
not through rancor or resentment of his rejection by the
administration, Mr. Douglas is now subjecting the finan
cial policies of the government to critical analysis. In the
pursuit of his purpose he finds it necessary to challenge
the declaration of President Roosevelt that receipts will
exceed the original budget estimates by $479,000,000,
that expenditures will be lower, by $768 000,000 and
that, in "consequence, the deficit will be down $1,247,
000,000 from the total expected last January.
Mr Douglas, who speaks with the authority of one
familiar with his subject, says that the president prom
ises the impossible. In support of his pessimistic belief
he cites that fact that "up to the fourth day of October
(which means one-fourth of the fiscal year), revenues
collected were actually but $25,000,000 greater than
those collected during the same period for the fiscal year
1935 ' And how, he questions, can expenditures be de
creased when, with the exception of the treasury depart
ment, operating costs are increasing?

WASHINGTON', Oct. 2H The
day before the furmera voted to
continue the corn-hog program
tor another year, l'roaldent ltooso
volt was able to announce that I
would be permanent. lie an
nounced thut the AAA program
would be "Amplified and perfected
tor an Indefinite period.
No direct mention was made of
the corn-hog program, of course.
The president himself said his an
nouncement hud 'no connection
whatever with the vote to be held
24 hours Inter. His assurance to
the farmers had boen In the pro
cess of formatiuu for a long time
and It just hnppencd to be giveu
out by him the night before the
farmers wont to the polls, You
know how those things are.
Statements are always coming out
at the right time, although, ot
course, they are never planned
that way. It was just fnte, that s
all, a huml-made hnppy (ate.
KOKKSIGHT
The AAA administrator, Mr.
Davis, whose lack ot political
acumen is advertised far and
wide, has verified this Interpreta
tion. His statement haa all but
closed the matter as far as the
super-suspicious observers here
were concerned. They would be
willing to read politics Into re
ports from the weather bureau or
the supreme court itself, but nev
er Into one prepared by Mr. Davis.
The result, therefore, can only
be another high tribute to- the
daring foresight ot the AAA boys.
They may have had a little Ink
ling as to how the vote would
come out, inasmuch as they cam
paigned ior it, conuueted u anil
counted it. But oven so. you will
have to hand them something, if
it Is only a laugh, for preparing
and getting the president to Issue
such a confident pre-electton pro-
nouncement on the eve ot the bat
toting.

other for a while."
Telling the
Editor
RACK
This official Inside talo about
the Innocent conspiracies ot fate
might hold together better. It it
were not tor one point. There
was no need for the AAA crowd
to dash over to the White House
with a pre-election statement for
the president's signature it they
were going lo win by such a big
margin.
You might be able to get the
real Inside story If you could look
into th- confidential reports re
ceived by AAA headquarters from
out in the farm fields prior to the
voting, You might find there a
more credible explanation, in a
few suggestions that gome of the
farmers were raging, not against
Mr. Roosevelt or particularly
against the corn-hog program
but decidedly against some of the
men chosen by the AAA to admin
ister it.
Also you might find there a
mite of farm rage about favorit
ism and unfairness In the complex
local administration.
Such reports would explain ade
quately why the AAA boys would
want the president to issue a per
sonal statement Indirectly dis
avowing such things and promis
ing simplification of administra
tion, as ba did.
a a a
REPORI
If the AAA field reports are
frank, they will contain something
along the line of a -confidential
survey recently made by a Roose
velt investigator from a Rocky
Mountain state. It was bis con
clusion that if Mr. Roosevelt was
slipping any in the farm regions,
it was solely because of j "the
greedy, selfish, arrogant misuse
ot power by those entrusted with
the administration of committees
and commissions set up by the na
tional administration at Washington."
Following are excerpts teflect-
Ing his studied analysis: '"
'In this state the director of
the extension service is an active
candidate tor the nomluntlou for
governor.
tha farm organisation was
once under the leadership of a
real master farmer. . . . Today tho
picture presented is that of a dead
locul, dying couuty ami a top-
eavy statu organisation, receiv
ing substunce from the co-opera
tive disposal organlxatiou of tho
state. This lattor Is the only
helpful organization the farmers
have, and It deducts enough from
the income of farm members lo
keep alive a state agricultural or
ganisation. "There are meetings of farm
ers, called by the farm organisa
tion, at which few farmers are to
be found and nono Is permitted to
speak. The tew who do attend
are crowded into the back seats
and listen to the presidents of
busted banks, extension workers,
college professors from home and
abroad, home demonstrators, mu
sic .masters and piano tuners, who
head farm relief agencies.
"The farm agencies have been
taken over by men who have Hov
er raised anything but their hats.''
from tho treasury this mouth
$215.70. That should bo enough
to build a porch on one.
Interior Secretary Ickes had a
very bad sea trip with tho pres
ident. Ho was leaning over the
rail most of the time. To make
him feel worse, his adversary,
Marry Hopkins, was alwny smll
lug and seaworthy. Hut the lust
duy out, Hopkins also reached for
tho rail, which virtually makes
mem oosom companions now.
The treasury is waiting In fear
and trepidation tor the processing
tux decision from the supreme
court. An adverse decision will
prevent it from receiving Im
pounded taxes, and It already has
spent tho money.
When Mr. Roosevelt was asked
o comment on gold Imports from
Europe recently, he replied that
gold was "like certain other
things, you can't eat It." His as
sociates wondered if he could pos
sibly have had tha constitution in
mind.
COXCM'SIOX.'l
The political conclusions ot this
admirer of the president were:
"In the election of 1934 any
candidate with a democratic label
who promised to uphold the pres
ident was elected automatically.
This will not be true In 1936. The
voters in the farming section and
the smull towns will thresh the
wheat from the chaff.
"To say that the farmers of the
west may be with the president
docs not mean that they are with
the new dealers whose only Inter
est in state aud national politics
Is that it leads them to the polit
ical pie counter. Neither Is It
meant to Imply that they can be
won over by any such slogan aa:
'Save the Constitution'."
All ot which would seem to cast
a more understanding light behind
the' president's latest farm assur
ances and tho corn-hog vote than
anything yet offered by the new
dealers.

tho Kdltor) I read In tho edi

dated October 26, your comm'nts
on tho Townsend plan, now, you
llko most men In your profes
sion, and the politicians, are
presuming nu tho Ignorauc of

they have given you plenty rea
son to think you can make them
swallow any kind of halt.
You ask the ordinary voter
why ho Is a Republican, or a

answer he would give you would
be. my Dad is, or was a Demo
crat or Republican. So, you ran
sec. for years and years the com
mon voter has been voting
blind. The last election was tho
first time he opened his eyes to
tako stock of what was going on
and uso his brain In his awn In
terest. Let us hope he will con
tinue In that line. Forget about
party lines, vote for good men
wherever you find them.
It is no wondor you think
they can't see the difference be-
twoen the spondlng of tho pros
ent system, and that of the
Townsond plan. Our present
system Is going In debt to spend.
That Is the kind of spending
you have In mind, when you say
spending will bankrupt the coun
try, but there Is no such spond
lng In the Townsend plan.
The government won't have to
borrow a single dimo. All It la
required to do is to put tha 2
per cent transaction tax In oper
ation, and let It raise what ever
money It would under the pres
ent turnover, and distribute It
to the pensioners as far as It
would go, and as the turn over
Increased It would be paid out
to the pensioners until they were
all taken up. And, mind you
this would be a revolving fund,
that would be continually In cir
culation, with no chance of
hoarding aud no danger ot bank
rupting the country, '
So. Mr. Editor, I am afraid
you do not understand the Town

presuming on tho Ignorance ot
