Accidents Do Happen . , JUNIOR chamber of commerce members are engaged in a campaign that they hope will reduce the number of accidents that occur on streets and highways of Klam ath county. The project is a worthy one. This county has a reputation for bad auto accidents. In the past two or three years it has had several that have taken more than one life. The best, that can be said for such mishaps is that they get more than passing notice, because of their horror, and usually after one of them there is a period of fewer accidents. It is not im probable that the effect on drivers has been good in such cases. Motorists might find it worth while to give thought to these two facts: 1 1. A vast majority of accidents are caused by human faults of some kind, rather than mechanical failure. 2. Approximately 1500 automobiles were involved in auto accidents in Klamath county last year. From these facts, every motorist ought to know that he has a mighty good chance of becoming involved in an accident, and that if he does, it will probablv be due to the fault of some PERSON, himself or the driver of the other car. ' WASHINGTON NEWS UEII1ND TUB NKWS The Inaldo Store From The Caiiltnl ... By PAfli MALION Copyright 1935, by Paul Million SIDE GLANCE S- cr WASHINGTON, Doc. 4 Soma, high orthodox ropnblicnit con gressmen are hissing behind their hands at Chairman rlotchar'a new national finance committee. They hare not Blurted booliiK It in public yet, but they will at the first opportunity, , The feeling Ib particularly strong among westerners. They did not expect Fletcher to go among the unemployed (or his money-raisers. But they did ex pect others than directors of cor porations to be represented on the committee, for the sake of appearances it for no other reason. Something will be said to Mr. Fletcher about this at tlio coming national committee meeting. Also, a statement from a republican congressional leader is highly probable. The Pelicans NOW is a good time to call attention to the work past and in prospect of the Pelicans organization. This voluntary group of business and professional men has for several years labored effectively to shield children from the more severe effects of hard times. That is the reason for the Pelicans, and it's a mighty fine one, when you come to think about it. ' Hundreds of dollars have been expended through this organization for serving hot lunches to children at schools, for specialized dental work, for school books, for clothing, etc., etc. In one instance, the Pelicans found a womanwhQ was supporting her children through the pro- tceuo irom a cow. iney Dougnc nay lor the cow. The Pelicans' record of accomplishments is a flno nno and it is written into the lives of children of Klamath county communities.

COCKIXES9 President Roosevelt's political machinists may be fooling them selves and him, but they continue to turn their noses up at the Literary Digest poll. They are clinging to their original expla nation mat the framing of the question encourages votes against the New Deal. A cabinet officer, for Instance, maintains that he would have voted "no" if a ballot had been sent to him. He says he thor oughly disapproved of the bud sistence homestead policy, which now has flopped, also many other relatively minor things which have been done. This attitude might sound very much -like an advance official alibi, except tor oue fact. Dou ble Chairman General Farley has returned rrom a scouting trip and radiated the sunniest conft oenoe via telephone to the top circle here, and as far south as w arm Springs. Final Entanglement YOU might notice that a rather important date in the 1 history of American government was recorded the other day when the Nebraska legislature adjourned. Un less a special session is called during the next year, that marked the last meeting of Nebraska's traditional two house legislature. When the regular meeting time rolls around in 1937, a new, compact, one-chamber body of 43 members will convene. It is noteworthy, too, that the closing hours of the two-house legislature were snarled up by a deadlock in the conference committee over important legislation which had passed the two houses in varying forms It is precisely such tangles as that opening the way to all kinds of political phenagling which . the new system will make impossible. .. . Nebraska is taking a great step toward more efficient, democratic state government.. How long will it be be fore other states have intelligence enough to follow her example? 1 Adolph's Observations MESALLIANCE Certain of Senator Borah's playmates have been complaining (apparently also to him) because he lent a hand to help Congress man Hamilton Fish get up on the Borah presidential coat tails, They call It "the alliance of the lion and the mouse." The inner explanation seems to be a simple one. Borah has been under attack by some good ladies wno are calling him a red. Mr. Fish is the beau ideal of all anti-reds, masculine, feminine or neuter. An u. K. from him is equivalent to acquittal by a Jury. Also Mr. Fish Is supposed to have developed lately a vice presidential receptivity. DEBT HEIGHT An oinciai wno looked over nr. Koosevelt s shoulder at the writing of the Atlanta speech ad vised him to eliminate the line about the bankers telling him in 1933 that the debt could go to miy or Beventy billion dollars. He declined to do It. The remark is supposed to have been left in particularly for the effect it might have on the heavy treasury financing placed in the hands of the bankers the follow ing Monday. It IB true Borne financial au thorities bad fantastic notions two years ago about the possible ceiling of the debt. Some pub lished guesses ran as high as fifty billions at that time. Such notions are now generally recog nized to have been foolish. All that the best authorities seem to, know about it now is that the current height Is some where above the chandelier. CHANGE Further confirmation of the theory that the technological phase of unemployment has been overplayed can be found in a new study entitled "machinery. employment and purchasing power," made by the national industrial conference board. This report shows that during the long range 1870 to- 1930 period of machine and technological im- i$mM$& fe mm twac " , "I swear, I don't know which party I favor any moro. My business hasn't been much good since Garfield was president." provements, the proportion of gainful workers to the total population rose from 32 per com to 39 per cent. An exaggerated but slmpjlo ex ample is i lie development ot tne auto. It threw ull the horse and buggy boys out of work, e'.lm- inated the vast livery stable busi ness. During the transition pe riod, the number of johltss In the old Industry outnumbers those employed in the new In dustry, but not now. If you count all employed In building better roads, bridges, direct automobile muuutucturlug employment, gas, garage and filling station and even the "hot dog" stand employment, you will reacn a sizauie igure. NEW FIXER Returning democratic congress men are also groaning. They say iney cannot get anything out of me aunsuine dispenser, iir. Far ley. For one thing, most of them cannot find him. He has been traveling most of the time lately. Several arriving legislators are taking their troubles to v. Forbes Morgan, secretary of the national committee. He Is thus growing In favor as a fixer of political matters for the admin istration. There is some suspic ion that he was put Into the na tional organization for this pur pose, but not by Mr. Farley. About the Bible Several names nmnnv hA - lsts that made Bible rhinr. and scenes important in their artistry siana out among the great painters of the world. We ot course think of Raphael, of Michelangelo, or Murillo and Corregglo. The Prophet Jere miah, the Tnn n v n n H vaiaj donnas, the Holy Night, the Head of the Christ-Child. John the Baptist; all these and many "' peaa to us of tne glorious love of Cod for Hit. children, and of fche nnwarfni ka,.... Bible truth. Ancient lenders, the Prophets, the Dlsclnlea th rh-i.t early church fathers and teachers all have been depicted. On down through the centuries art ists in vae many nations where the Bible has gone have taken up the religious motif. The trend tnwarA t,Aai .... tomobiles has been continued in the 1936 cars.

This particular sack, and It was a regulation sack, wits filled to tho top with 68 potatooa. Hut tho most remnrknble feature is that these 68 spuds wolghed 105 pounds. Unprecedented activity In building during the late full and early winter months may set a new annual building record for Klamath Falls, For the 11 months of 1925 the total amount Invented in Klamath Falls building was $1. 648.847. For the entlro year of 1924, the total construction In vestment was 61,682,879. Many people have political axes to grind, and there Is nothing like a tariff change to start the axes a-grlnding.
