They Must Choose
IT'S rather difficult for outsiders (and probably for
I some insiders) to understand what the ruckus is m
the Townsend movement m Oregon involving Mayor
Willis Mahoney.
On the surface, it appeal's to be that some of the
Townsenders are wise to the fact the mayor is in the
game for what he can get out of it politically. Fire was
directed at a state officer, Dwight Bunnell, who plugged
for the Klamath man at every opportunity, and he was
moved elsewhere. Bunnell, so the story goes, was to
get some appointment, as a reward if the mayor s poll'
tical ambitions materialize.
The more shrewd supporters of Mayor Mahoney
aren't claiming he is active in the movement just because
his heart bleeds for the old people. But they do say
some of the active critics of Mahoney are themselves
bitten by the political bug. That is highly possible.
The frantic efforts of opportunist politicians to make
something for themselves out of the Townsend movement
is not exactly a pretty spectacle. Some of them have a
way of becoming the evangels of every scheme that
catches the passing fancy of the voters. Une cannot
blame the SINCERE Townsenders for wanting to vote
for congressional delegates who will support the plan
But candidates who cannot, down in their hearts, be
lieve in this scheme, and merely shout its praise in the
hope of catching the votes of a strong, organized min
ority, are not deserving of the respect of Townsenders
or any other citizens.
Candidates must choose, as well as voters. What
looks like the smart thing to do at the moment may
not worK out so wen alter while.
Relief Headed for a Snag
THE federal government's present work relief program
is expected to end next July. Few people can doubt
that some sort of relief will be vitally necessary after
that, but no one knows what form it will take.
Because the federal government's plan is still un
certain, private agencies are finding it impossible to make
intelligent plans for their own future activities.
So says Robert P. Lane, executive director of the New
York Welfare Council. He points out that no private
agency can tell just what its share of the relief load
will be next year, and that consequently proper organiza
tion and financing are impossible.
- What is urgently needed is a comprehensive, long
range statement of the federal relief program. Until
such a program is agreed on, the private agencies are
put under a handicap they should not be required to
carry.
Drive for Greater Safety
ON Jan. 1 the National Safety Council will inaugurate
a five-year plan of its own a nation-wide cam
paign to reduce auto traffic fatalities by at least 35 per
cent.
The campaign is to be carried on with the aid of
public officials, civic organizations, and police traffic
departments, and its sponsors hope that at least 38,000
lives can be saved.
" The drive will take two forms. It will call for co
ordination and standardization of sensible methods of
traffic control, and for education of motorists to a new
sense of their responsibility.
. Uniform legislation, including such things as drivers'
license laws, will be prepared for submission to legis
latures in states which now lack such laws.
All in all, the campaign ought to be productive of
great good. Our traffic toll would disgrace a nation
of morons. Anything that can be done to lessen it is
well worth doing.
One of the finest features of Christmas is its music.
Dozens of worthwhile musical presentations are planned
for Klamath Falls Sunday, and for Christmas day. One
of these is the annual carol service presented by the
school singing groups of the city, on Sunday afternoon at
the Presbyterian church. Last year's program was widely
heralded. The church should be filled for this event.

impossible, such as picking a

could say to his people: "The

work that way. But they do show
the possibilities of trouble that

right now In all this mess of
trouble, with plenty of possibili
ties of being dragged into what
ever wars the diplomats and the
dictators of Europe rig up.

president's playfulness with his
associates Inside tho While House
has not suffered front Hie re
cent ptesHiua of budget inuk
lug, vrllli'lHin nod unfavorable
political polls.
Ouo day, this week, was par
ticularly heavy. Ilia engagement
lint ( contained a doiott calttira.
Also a budget conference at
which there was to b consider
able fuming and fretting. Mr.
Roosevelt found time, however,
to dletuto im unofficial letter
to his military aide, Colomil
"Paw" Watson, along theso gen
oral lines:
Tho president will glvo Col
onel WntHon Just twenty-four
hours to answer certain charges.
These charges are to tile effect
that you, t'olonel Watson, have
been bragging that you bagged
two turkeys with one shot lit
tho Wooilmont Gun Club a few
weeks iiro, whereas tile truth
of the mtilior Is the turkeys worn
blind, mid you are just trying
to Injure tho reputation of I lie
club champion, Admiral Cnry
Grayson, who never hoot tur
keys which ale blind, but only
thoso which are tied.
PLOT
Colonel Watson is supposed
to have Investigated and learned
that tho charges ngnlnnt hi in
wero planted with the president
by that great democratic planter,
Bernard M. Munich. In his re
ply, tho colonel contended that
Mr. Ilaruch could not bag a tur
key, except with a fork, after
It hud been cooked. Ho de
manded a court of Inquiry,
which, ho said, would prove that
tho turkeys were blind because
ho allot both through tho eyes
with the siiiuu shot.
All of the Inside crowd doubt
that a court of Inquiry will be
held. There Is gravo 'suspicion
that a fair trial would disclose
a certain amount of democratic
propaganda in these contentious.
The best siiot In or near tin
club is known to be a republican,
and, worse, a Hoover repub
lican l.arry Rlchey, former sec
rotary to Mr. Hoover. Ho never
kilts a turkey until he has shot
off all Its feathers, one by one.
This saves time la dressing it.
