Coplaa of lha Nawa and Herald, about tha Klamath ralla market, any Of CSS No Debt THE Klamath county school district is engaged in a PWA construction program. It involves the erection of new high school buildings at Merrill and Bonanza, and a new gym at Mann. These are much-needed improvements, and an im portant thing to be noted about them is that the financ ing is being handled WITHOUT THE INCURRENCE OF DEBT. -1 - - There is an item in the current budget of ?60,000 to care for the school district's part of the job. About $45,000 is coming from the PWA as a grant. . In ' other words, the school district is paying as it goes. It is erecting new buildings without loading the cost on future generations of taxpayers. Tha policy is a wise one, and might well be emulated. Here's something else about it: The ?60,000 item in the budget for this purpose is spread, out over the entire county unit and it won't hurt much to raise it for needed improvements. But it would be a real shock if it had been slapped on the specific communities where the buildings are to go up. That's the advantage of the county unit system. Misleading Question WHENEVER you set out to have an argument, it is a good idea to define your terms first. Otherwise you may go right around in a circle and ineet yourself com ing back. ' ,- ' " The United States Chamber of Commerce might profit ably have kept this in mind in its recent poll of Its members. It asked them, for instance, to answer yes or no to this question: Should there be extension of federal jurisdiction into matte of state and local concern? . Naturally enougu, all but a handful answered "No" ; and it is a little hard to see how they could have done anything else. The real question in that connection is "What ARE matters of state and local concern?" That question is one of the most important of the present era, and it will stand all the debate we can give it. And until we have answered it, there is small sense in even trying to answer the question the chamber asked. . . ' . .-' ;- ; NEW STORE WILL QPEIU THIS WEEK The Mode O Day ahop, specializing in cotton dresses and lingerie, will be opened this week at 60S Main street by C. O. Lovejoy, who cornea here from Seattle. The opening date had not been definitely aet on Mon day, but will probaibly ba Wed nesday or Thursday. The new shop will be a nnit of a chain of similar shops operated by the Hollywood Frock corporation. There are now more than 100 stores in the system, whose operations are scattered over the western , state. The Klamath store will be tha first In Oregon. The new store that will open here will be a replica, somewhat smaller in size, of the store Just opened on Broadway, in Los Angeles. The building has been remodeled, with new display windows, and complete new fix tures are being installed. The front will be of black Carrara plate glass, the first front of this type to be Installed in Klamath Falls. Mr. Lovejoy, local manager of the new store, has leased the Delzell home in Hot Springs. Adolph's Observations DR. CLARENCE TRUE WIL SON, clergyman, has given a etory to the press about the trek of the ' snakes near Klamath Falls, which I have seen pub lished in several papers. I Just encountered an article about this again the other day and the thing disgusts me as I am sure it does many others. I have lived in the Klamath Basin for six years and to me it's God's country. The land of sunshine and of plenty, where anybody that wants to work can make an Independent living. As far as snakes are con cerned, I have seen less here than at any place where I ever resided and I have lived in Illi nois, South Dakota, Nebraska and Washington. I can truthfully say that the only rattlesnake I have ever seen since coming to Klam ath Falls was one on display in a drug store window and I have run across this vlariety In other places quite often, I gueBB the trek of the snakes Is like preacher Wilson's packed house congregations. They just don't have them any more. P.-T. A. Notes Mrs. T. B. Dean will conduct the Miller P.-T.

By PAUL MALLON Copyright 1935, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON. Deo. S.AAA ers Beem to have discovered a mall pig ia harder to catch than a large hog, especially It greased. They alao appear willing to agree a .little potato ! harder to hand die than a big one, particularly If hot. This new barnyard reasoning seems to furnish a complete back-' ground explanation for the recent decision dropping little potatoes; (producers of so bushels a year and less) from tha snlanura tub erosum movement. The decision has coma as a result of experi ence. It you only knew the Inside en forcement troubles of the AAA pig chasers alone, you would real lie why they do not want to try catching small potatoes. You will never learn about it from Wash ington because this topic is con sidered taboo by official govern ment dispensers of information. But it will for more than one thrilling chapter In AAA history when the boys behind the boys behind the plow start telling all. a a vic.it A faint grasp of the scope of their difficulty may' be gained from the experience of lluloue, N. Y revenue officers in running down seven small plus. The stouthearted officers have been In close pursuit for nearly two years now. The United States marines could have done no more. Yet at lost accounts, the pigs were sun tar anenrt. The last account was given In a local up-state newspaper inter view with Dan Gillette, r Thayer Corners farmer in the town of Burke, Franklin county. He marketed the pigs. Mr. Gillette is a Vermont type of farmer who keeps his books on the barn .door, In pencil. Thus he knows that, In October, 1933. he sold a 135-pound pig to a friend; again, in May, 1934, a 150-pound pig to the same friend. He says that, along about May, he also took five little plga to market in Malone. There the packer said they weighed 538 pounds dressed. and that there was no tax on them as long as he raised them. The revenue officer came to see Mr. Gillette in August, 1934. since then Mr. Gillette has been having more trouble with his taxes than J. P. Morgan and Mel lon together. CHASK The first revenue officer fig ured it all up and decided no tax was due. But two months later, October, 1934, came another. He figured and figured, advising Mr. Gillette it "will be plenty." When he finished, he said the tax and fine amounted to 44, Including the seven pigs. These figures the officer sent to Syracuse. Mr. Gillette soon re ceived a letter demardin the tax and tine. He appealed to the packer, but the packer had no record. Mr. Gillette concluded that the revenue officer must have Imagined the pigs to be 200 pounds apiece, whereas they were Just little fellers. ' Therefore, he retired into his shell. A second letter some weeks later hiked the amount to $47 which only goes to show how fast pigs can grow. The letter was followed by another rerenued with "some kind of a warrant." That conference developed much harsh language, but no pigs or money. Twice again .last spring came revenuers, both going over Mr. Gillette s double-door book keeping system on the barn. They just "took down the figures and went away." The second one came back in the middle of May, with an announcement that the pigs had shrunk. What Mr. Gil lette really owed was $24.50. He advised Mr. Gillette to submit those figures, and Mr. Gillette did, but he has not yet received an answer. "Along about September," how ever, Mr. Gillette got a threaten ing demand that he set'.le. And last month came another, ; ADAMANT If you think Mr. Gillette Is frightened, you do not know Mr. Gillette. This Is his off-season. He - has heard about the good meals served in the Franklin county jail. He knows friends who will bring him cigarettes. consequently, he is taking a strong position. He says: "They have rode me enough. If they think they can make an honest farmer give them more'n 60 cents on a dollar for what little he made on seven small pigs, they've got another think comin'." The Landon bandwagon seems to be crowding up bcJore it even gets started. Latest Joiner Is sup posed to be Ogden Mills, forr-er treasury secretary to Mr, Hoover. He was generally recognized here as the smartest man in the Hoov er administration.

This Is no news, but Norris also indicated he he would support the democratic president even against his inde pendent colleague. Senator Borah, who sits at the desk adjoining that of Norris in the senate. At the same time Norris regards Borah as a real potentlnl threat to Mr, Roosevelt's re-election. HKLP Those who are supposed to know George Peek's mind say the latest departing new dealer will go actively republican next year if the republicans will adopt a satisfactory farm plank. He may try to write it.- His view is that AAA works at cross purposes, cuts production and lets farm products in from foreign coun tries.
