Pierce and Bandwagons FROM Congressman Walter M. Pierce comes a cry against straw balloting'. He is going to see Mr. Far Icy about it. The second district's democratic congressman is par ticularly irked with a "current national poll" which shows a trend away from President Roosevelt. He thinks it is manipulated by republicans that is, he says he thinks so. Mr. Pierce has spoken up against straw ballots be fore, therefore it is fair to assume that he honestly be lieves they do harm in swinging bandwagon votes. That being the case, why doesn't he condemn poli ticians who, in every election, work on the bandwagon vote? The Literary Digest, to whose poll Mr. Pierce undoubtedly refers, is merely conducting an honest can vass of opinion as a news feature, while the politicians. usually dishonestly and irresponsibly, advance their claims definitely for the purpose of winning the weak who want to be with the winner. Postmaster General Farley, to whom Mr. Pierce plans an appeal, recently arrived in Washington after a swing around the country, and announced the names of a lot of states he said are definitely in the Roosevelt column. Farley, far less carefully and scientifically than the Digest, had been conducting a straw poll of his own, and he announced its results with a fanfare of publicity. If Mr. Pierce feels so strongly against straw ballots and attempts to swing the bandwagon vote, why doesn't he condemn Mr. Farley? The particular poll Mr. Pierce now critizes reflects a tendency he obviously dislikes, which will weaken his arguments so far as the public is concerned. They are further weakened by the fact he denounces one straw poll because he fears it will affect the bandwagon vote, but says nothing of other efforts, far less honest, whose motives are definitely to do the very thing he condemns. WASHINGTON NKW8 IIKHINL) TUB NKWS a a The Insltle Btorjr l-Tom Tho Capital a e e Uy PAIL M.MX)N Copyright 18.15. by Paul Mnllon SIDE GLANCES-" uci WASHINGTON, Doc. 31 It may or may not have boon some body'! Now Year resolution, but! On the duy after Christmas, President Roosevelt lunchr-our-d David Sarnoft, sharp chairman ot the board of tho Radio Corpora tion of America. No ona else was present. Twenty-four hours later, Mr. Sarnoft announced the appoint ment ot Mr. Roosevelt 'i good trlend, Joseph P. Kennedy, as a special executive to study the financial structure of R. C. A. It was something of a surprise because the "R. C. A. structure did not seem to iu-ed much study ins. Also because capable Mr. Kennedy's lino has been more promotional than structural. At least It was before he entered. and left the chairmanship ot tha securities and exchange commission. As 1936 Is the big political year and as radio broadcasting Is a ticklish political business, those Inside the trade have been nodding their heads knowingly ever since. They suspect Mr. i lioosevelt may have arranged a j spare wave length to assure a I happy radio New Year for him self. Mountain Passes LATER than ever before, the McKenzie highway was closed for the winter Monday. Snow blocked the mile-high McKenzie pass, shutting off traffic on this trans-mountain route between Bend and Eugene. This happens every year, usually considerably earlier than this year. Last season the pass was opened on June 12, after plows had battled 85-foot drifts for several weeks. Klamath travelers do not make a great deal of use of the McKenzie pass, unless they are going to Willamette valley points south of Portland. But when the Wil lamette pass is finished, ..this community will become definitely interested in keeping a trans-mountain road open to Eugene, for that will be our shortest, main con necting link with the valley and Portland as well. It is expected the Willamette pass will be kept open the year around. There will be lots of snow there, but wind conditions will not be such as they are in the Mc Kenzie gap. The Willamette route traverses about the same region as does the Southern Pacific's Cascade line, which keeps on an all-year schedule. Many people do not as yet recognize the importance of the Willamette pass. But when it is completed, they will realize what a boon it is to coastwise travel as well as to the residents of important sections of Oregon. It will be a great, all-year, trans-Cascade link in the Oregon highway system. A Poor Inspiration A DETACHMENT of mutilated veterans of the World War, says a dispatch from Naples, has been shipped off to Africa, where the disabled ex-soldiers are expect ed to inspire Italian troopers to new heights of enthus iasm and daring. The generals are ordinarily pretty well up on their understanding of military psychology; but a stay-at-home might be permitted to wonder whether this particular stunt will be quite as effective as it might be. Somehow, it smacks a little too much of a death's head at a feast. Untried soldiers, looking upon armless and legless and eyeless casualties of a former war, might, just pos sibly, conclude that warfare is a mugg's game. And when soldiers in the mass begin to take that viewpoint, the war is over whether the generals think it is or not. Telling the Editor GOOD WORD FOR EDITOR LANGELL VALLEY, Ore., (To the Editor) It would seem most ungrateful on the part of certain Individuals when taking advan tage of the Invitation extended by your papers to express their views on current topics, to resort to abuse and threats. Surely no one can accuse your papers of being anything but Im partial In your news columns, of your giving full publicity to schemes and policies to which your paper is opposed. It then In your editorials you reserve the right to express fearlessly the stand your paper takes, surely no fair minded person would resort to abuse and threats because you do so, In fact many of your readers must find It quite refreshing that you do bo, particularly In these thoBe crit ical tlmos when the convictions of many jelly fish politicians, ap pear to bs influenced entirely by the popularity ot a scheme. Whether the view Is taken that It Is a new deal or a raw deal, that the Townsend plan will bring unprecedented prosperity or bankruptcy, that the law of supply nnd demand should pre vail or the questionable three A be enforced, that those who do not own property as well as those who do, should bear the brunt of taxpaylng; surely Mr. Editor In dividuals taking advantage of your invitation to discuss these and other problems In your papers can do so courteously. Your many readers no doubt would feet quite satisfied, If upon receipt of a letter contain ing abuse, you merely stated It had been thrown in the waste paper basket. R. Malcolm Teare. Louisiana Politics To be Investigated NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 81 (UP) A thorough Investigation of Louisiana politics was ordered Monday by Rep. J. Mark .Wilcox, democratic, Florida, member of a Bpeclal house election! com mittee who came here to ob serve plana for the January 21 primary. Any Seat 15 ' Any Time "CAR 99" Free) MacMurray Ml ti Any Seat - 15t Any Time Jl'MHOIXG What bolsters this conclusion is the inside background of White Hoase radio relations. Mr. Koosevelta pals have al ways had a feeling that NBC (subsidiary of R. C. A.) was leu favorable to him than were some of the other chains. There may have been insufficient reason for the feeling, but it existed. In fact, they have not forgot ten the lucident of Mr, Hoover's grass-growing speech In New lork during the last campaign. It seems that Mr. Hoover was late and the announcer had to improvise. At first he radioed all the usual grandiosities about the large slse and enthusiasm of the crowd. Then he began to radiate. Running short of adjec tives he offered "stupendous" and finally "colossal." The new dealers always thought there was something more behind it than a colossal improvisation. You may rest assured now, however, that such things will not hapten again next year. At least not to Mr. Roosevelt. oMfe ' 4 s , . ..-4g5M mm lm w lw it I !, -.'- iPnmM.wc l.w.

STRENGTH The sincerity behind business prediction this New Year is more or less apparent. Men whose judgment Is best are forecasting a 1936 level of industrial production 10 to 2u per cent above this year. They base this prediction primarily on an expectation of a 50 per cent increase in residential building construction. This will really absorb some, but not all, unem ployment. Theae authoritative predictions are being made In the face of wide uncertainties. The continu ing accumulation ot gold here is convincing economists that an other mediums ot international monetary exchange may prove to be necessary within the year. War excitement Is prevalent In Europe and the Far East. The congress is meeting. An unusu ally hot campaign is in prospect. A presidential election will take place, the outcome of which is in doubt. When you see rosy business prophecies in the face of such un certainties, it is a good indication of the inherent strength behind the current recovery movement. LINDBERGH There was some Inner excite ment near the top here following the holiday departure of Colonel Lindbergh. The administration has always assumed things like that were almost as important politically as the tariff and tax ation. A private investigation Is un derstood to have been undertaken by some near, but not In, the White House. The conclusion was reached that Lindbergh could have chosen a far less conspicu ous way to get away from threats and annoyances if that was his only purpose. The ordinary way would have been to have his air line transfer him quietly to England to pro mote Its flrthcoming transat lantic service. A routine an nouncement could have been Is sued after he was at sea, and not slipped out Indirectly In a way to cause such commotion. Also, movie Btars and others whose faces are internationally known have been able to cross with comfort on large liners In seculslon, without buying up all the passages on a small boat and departing at midnight. At least so say the apprehen sive new dealers.

Tl "5 The American Legion hall, lo cated at Fourth and Klamath avenue, is expected to be one of the most popular places New Year's eve. as the night has been especially designated as a Townsend night in celebration of the coming year. The Townsend clubs through out the United States have dur ing the last few months shown their strength in placing their candidates in the lead over others, a remarkable increase in the memberships in tha old clubs and the mushroom growth of new clubs throughout tho land. The Klamath Falls Townsend clubs have long thought that one of the most successful ways of creating interest In the clubs and a means of promoting ad ditional membership would be to have a Saturday night dance or a dance on a holiday. During the past few weeks a successful effort has been made to Impress "upon the club members the feas ibility ot such a plan. Now with the coming ot a new year, a Townsend New Year's Victory dance Is being held. There will be balloons, confetti, streamers and the ever-popular music (urnlsbed by Kiger's Old Timers. Young Woman On Job As Smithy In New York Town NEW YORK. Dec. 31 (IP) Without benefit of spreading chestnut tree, Mrs. Martha Drew Smith, Manhattan's village smithy. stood before her flaming forge today. "I like It," she grinned. "There Isn't anything like it to make a body feel good." Mrs. Smith Is 24, 5 feet, 11 Inches tall and weighs, conserv atively, 195 pounds. Fellow blacksmiths say she is one of the best In the trade. She has shod horses since she was 12, and operates Jointly with her husband, George, a black smith shop In Greenwich Village. "Don't let anyone tell you Now York is an automobile town," she said, adding that her hours, never less than 12, were now as high as 20 a day. "No man could work like that woman," her husband observed. "She never gets tired, never com plains, never is sick. She cooks my dinner and cleans house, even though we don't get some until 2 a. m." Smith, who weighs 30 pounds less than his wife, said that ho once urged her to leave the trade. But site told me, 'no.' I never argue with my wife."
