It has been a GOOD year, particularly in comparison with the deep depression times. There has been no boom, as booms Vent in the old days, but there has been general economic improvement, affecting the entire com munity. And that puts most of us in a more hopeful mood as we look ahead to the adventure of 1936. It seems we are on our way to still better times, if nothing disastrous occurs to interfere with the fundamental basis of sound recovery. With congress meeting in a few days, and a political year coming up to offer opportunities to wild eyed theorists, that possibility should not be overlooked, and it should be guarded against. Nineteen thirty six should be an interesting year, par ticularly as regards politics. It will start off with a spe cial election in Oregon, featuring such important mens- ures as an old-age security sales tax and the change of primary elections Irom .May to September. In the spring or fall will be the primaries, and in the fall the general election, which will include the' presidential election, selection of a United States senator, a congressman from this district, state legislators, and numerous city and county officials. That, no doubt, will fill the public prints with more than enough political news in 1936. A political year means a year of responsibility for the ordinary citizen. One of the big jobs ahead in this community in 1936 is to elect competent men and women to the offices to be filled at these coming elections. In past years, when listing objectives under group headings, mention has always been made of roads and tourist promotion. That can be done again. The Wil lamette highway completion, Lakeview road oiling, con struction of the Main street underpass these are im portant road projects that should be completed in 1936. The year will see the last- work done on the Weed high way, and this community should see to it that this im portant event is properly celebrated. In the transportation field also must be set down aviation development as a 1936 objective. There is real opportunity for locating one of the army's intermediate air bases at Klamath Falls. This community -has never really awakened to this possibility, and continued in difference might mean something really worth while will slip irom our hands. Every year, somewhat despairingly,, hope is expressed that traffic accidents can be reduced. This county has a traffic accident record that is certainly not to be envied. A little more thoughtfulness, a greater regard for the rights of others, would go far toward improving that record. It is to be hoped that in 1936 there is a continuance of the tendency to improve home surroundings in Klam ath Falls. The success of the Christmas lighting pro gram is indicative of interest along that line. More trees, flowers, lawns and shrubbery, new paint on build ings, ana generally cleaner, more orderly surroundings for living and working, deserve a permanent place on the objectives list of any progressive community. These are only a few thoughts about things to be done in ine Aiaraam country m 1936. There are many others. It is desirable that the community eo throuch the year with less factional strife and controversy.

NKW8 a a The Inaitlo Story From Tho Capital a By TAiri, MALIGN Copyright 1935. by Paul Mnllon WASHINGTON, J. 1. Now dealers have beau notably guu shy on official business prophoc- les. They remember the buckflcra which pocked a lot of prophetic luces around here during the de pression. Uut this year, they havo an official prophocy for the firs', time. It Is properly screened for pro tection against reverse explosions and housed In a spot where you would least expect to find It an announcement from the de partment of agriculture. That department prophecies anything and everything. It even anuouuees In advance how hun gry and prolific the corn-borer will be. Perhaps this practice ac counts for the scant attention paid to Its forecast the other day that industrial acivlty will be 10 per cent better In ID 36. The estimate was much more important than it pretended to be. It really, represented a studied composite estimate by all the top-notch government economists In other bureaus which have fur more to do with Industrial activ ity. It was arrived at by privato consultation among t hem. e e e Sl'RKAO The 10 per cent guess Is as good a one as you can get, in view of the clouds ahead (su preme court decisions, war, gold fluctuations and political cam paigns). Furthermore, it seems to fit in with wlint the well known outside economists are predicting publicly and privately. As far as anyone can see, how ever, the high lovel of present industrial production figures will probably slide off a little during the first quarter. This is solely because automobile production has been at a peak and cannot be maintained at this level. Further more, It would not be surprising It the estimates of auto produc tion for the coming year slipped somewhat below current grand expectations. The broad spread of activity in the heavy goods industries is -nevertheless almost certain to continue. The spresd is general in all lines. The only thing that can stop It is something of suf- J ficient national Importance to stop everything. No one Is betting on anything like that. e e e CHART Year end heights of current business may be measured from the government's monthly busi ness chart, which follows. Each figure represents the percentage of normal for the period stated, with 100 based on the average years of 1923 to 1925. inclusive, except for prices. The figures are adjusted for seasonal variations. 1935 IN REVIEW s" l'WA A December estimate for building was omitted because it all depends entirely on l'WA contracts.

Marriage Applications Leland O. Conroy, 24, Klam ath Falls postal clerk, to Ma rlon Fife, 19, Klamath Falls stenographer. E S General Improvement in all lines of business which featured the year 1936 was significantly reflected In a decided Increase In Klamath county marriages for the 12 months ending December 31. A total of 349 licenses were Issued by the county clerk's office during the year. The 1934 figure was 287. August, with 44 licenses, stole honors from June, proverbial marriage month, which trailed two behind the leader. January, as usual, marked tho low ebb In matrimonial kick-offs, with only 17 registered. October recorded only 20 in an unsear.onal decline. First marriage of the year was that of Hubert George Lyle and Sybil Grace Smith, who were wed January 2 at the home of the Rev. A. Theodore Smith. John LeRoy Simmons of Paw nee, Okla., and Helen Louise Hartman of Laurence, Kan., mar ried by Justice W, B. Barnes, De cember 31, were the last to be wed In Klamath county In 1935. although Leland Conroy and Marion Fife, both of. Klamath FallB, took out a marriage license later the same day.

A secret of that figure Is that it Is heavily weighted with auto mobile production, for which the season has lately been changed. This factor accounts for at least one point in the figure, if not more. But the real balanced picture is this: all Industrial activity failed to slide off around the year-end season as it usually does. The hurried production of autos brought an abnormal sea sonal demand for steel, glass, rubber and all the other pro ducts which go Into autos. But beyond that, there was no slack ening in demand for steel from the other durable goods Indust ries, machine tools, etc. This is the Important point; it means the demand spread is still suf ficiently strong to offset a sea sonal trend. a ALTITUDE If you will look backward to 1934, you are likely to get slightly dlzzv. For Instance, the official seasonally adjusted No vember figures ot production for a few of the Important industries are now available. They show this comparison: Nov. 1935 Iron and steel Textiles 107 Food 82 Petroleum 145 Automobiles 114 Silver 76 Tobacco, leather and were about the same. Nov. 1934 ' 49 87 102 121 40 35 cement abnormal 60 per cent official figure for November. PWA con tract awards have been increas ing for five months. A four-month official compari son of the amount of private and public contracts follows in mil lions ot dollars: Privately financed Public August 76 92 September 70 97 October 87 114 November 70 118 More than half of the contracts awarded during the first half of December were public. Private residential construction was only 27 per cent of normal in November. It was 11 per cent in November, 1934. PRICES A notable factor In the exist ing situation Is the stability of prices. Vou will notice from the chart that virtually no change has taken place in the general price level of the last five months. XMAS When the shekels are counted in the till, Christmas business may be found to have fallen short of some of the published predictions. There are indica tions, however, of a substantial increase in dollar volume over last year. On tho whole it was a fairly satisfactory season.

Wild Geese Damage Crops at The Dalles THE DALLES, Ore., Jan. 1, (UP) Thousands of voracious wild geosc, wintering In the mid Columbia area because of the unusually mild season, resisted all efforts of the state game de partment and irate ranchers to hasten their departure Tuesday. Ranchers said the big birds wore laying large areas of farm land barren by "rooting" out lender wheat. Harvey Fisher, game enforce ment officer, tried flrin- rlfleB to frighten the birds. The geese morely left one field for others nearby, descending Id clouds on the tilled soil. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was legally made the national an them of the United States in March,- 1931. Tax collections lu Klamath county totaled 1 1.424.9 16.42 dur ing 1935, it is Indicated by rec ords at tli't office of t'ounty Treas urer tleorge I. Taylor. This figure, representing collec tion on delinquent as well as cur rent tnxeq, Is 95 per cont of the 19.16 levy of $ 1,500,959.12, and some $25,000 above last year's total collection, which reached 90 per cent of the higher 1934 levy. County tax officials are of the opinion that collections would have reached or surpassed the levy mark, had It not been for passage of the new tax law, whose benefits to delinquent tax payers do not becomo effective until pay ment is made on this year's ( 19361 current taxes. With the law in force, It Is es timated that collections I his yenr will well exceed tho total 1936 lovy. Tho 1930 county budget was drafted on the basis of a 105 per cent return. Since December 31, 1934, the county's current expenso over draft has been reduced from from (24,373.16 to $5,703.78. Reduc tion has been mado possible by the county's system of a "floating deficit." Ca.'h bnHls operation ex cludes Interest on warrants, and allows savings through cash pur chasing power, officials declare. Tho county has been on a cash basis since March 21, 1934, with the deficit reaching Its highott point about a year later. Since that time the reduction hits pro gressed steadily.
