Mayor
NOT unexpected was the announcement by Mayor Ma
honey in Portland Saturday that he would be a can
didate for the United States senate. .
It became obvious to the most casual observer that
when the Klamath mayor began playing the Townsend
game for all it was worth, he intended it should be worth
something to him. It was just a question as to what of
fice he would seek.
Many thought Mayor Mahoney's best chance lay in
a fight with Walter Pierce from the democratic congress
ional nomination. Pierce bounced on the Townsend
bandwaeon lonir aaro. but even so there was a irood deal
of feeling that the Klamath mayor could give Walter a
run for it
Instead, however, he has-decided to aim his sights
several degrees higher, a Mahoney tendency that is
dangerous and may prove fatal.
If he should win the democratic nomination, his op
ponent, barring some unforeseen development, will be
Senator Charles L. McNary. Senator McNary is not only
the minority leader in the United States senate, but he
has the confidence of a good many democrats, both at
Washington and in his home state. He has been in a
position to do outstanding service, for his state, and he
has done it. His is an honorable record.
Mayor Mahoney was aiming his sights too high when
he ran for the democratic nomination for governor against
General Martin. A few weeks before he announced his
candidacy for governor, the mayor was quoted hereabouts
as saying if Martin were to run, he wouldn't make a try
for it But his enthusiasm for high stakes got the best
of him, and he came out, anyhow, with results that are
well remembered.
One wonders if he is not now courting a repetition of
that defeat. We have a hunch that not so long ago the
mayor would have said that McNary could not be beaten,
and that he wouldn't try it.
Motorists Need Them
THIS is not an advertisement for the tire chain makers
- and sellers, but it's a fact, proved again and again by
motorists' experiences this winter, that tire chains are an
essential part of the equipment of an automobile.
Sunday found dozens of automobiles in the Crater
lake park country. The roads had been plowed out, but
there was a light coating of
certain points it was necessary, in passing other cars,
to drive close to the banks where the surface was par
ticularly difficult to cross.
Cars without chains were a constant source of an.
noyance to the traffic along
Kcnmn "cfunlr" onI kln.L-.J
and skidded. Motorists who carried chains with them in
some cases found it necessary to assist other machines
with drivers less foresighted.
Chains in the car promise jrreater. safety and con
venience for -the owner, and
lellow.
When a political campaign waxes warm, letter writ
ers are inclined to wax lengthy. This newspaper wel
comes letters on an siaes oi current issues, but it urges
that they be kept SHORT. The limit is 500 words, and
that usually is too long. Letter writers no doubt want
their letters read. They should remember that short
articles get far more readers than long, bulky ones.

A. A. A. AND COST
(South Bend (Wash.) Journal)
The supreme court says that
the new deal can't levy process
ing taxes to pay certain farmers
for not raising certain specified
crops.
The first Immediate result Is
that the people of the United
States just you and I will make
un the deficit. Right now the
deficit Is about a quarter of a
billion dollars due farmers under
present AAA contracts. But pro
cessing firms are preparing to
sue the government for a mere
matter of about a billion more in
processing taxes already paid in
and paid out.
We, the people of the United
States, pay the bill for this and
all other now deal experiments.
We haven't even begun to really
pay yet, because of the govern
mental thrift policy of borrowing
to the limit before making any
move to pay off Its dents.
So far as the nation Is con
cerned, the AAA has resulted In
almost complete loss .of export
markets for products on the "not
raising" program; higher cost to
U. S. consumers, and "noi-rais
ing" checks to a limited portion
of the nation s farmers.
The AAA always was a total
and accumulating la;s to farmers
In such countries as ours.
Drain and cotton growers who
still had a spark of ambition,
pocketed their not-raising checks
and then promptly turned to such
not-Included activities as dairying
and poultry raising to use the land
the AAA "took out of produc
tion." That Just made more com

Adolph's
Observations
T SUPPOSE that most every
one wonders, sometime or
other, Just what sort of a
funeral he would have It he
were to pass out. Whether
there would be many in at
tendance and It there would be
flowers.
I don't have to speculate
any more about this. I know
there will be a large crowd at
mine and lots of folks from
out ot town. .
Last summer, through some
error In identity, I was report
ed to have' fallen out of a boat
and drowned in a southern
Oregon lake. The Medford
radio station announced It and
we received a great many tele
phone calls from out of town
folks for information about
the funeral. There were also a
lot of Inquiries locally,
I asked at the flower shops
but nobody had ordered any
bouquets so that bothers me.
I don't see why the Impres
sion sbould have gotten around
that I wouldn't want any. It
may have been propaganda
from my literary rivals who
never get into print. I know
they didn't invite me to the
poets' breakfast last summer I
and I wouldn't put anything I
beyond them. i

ed that no life existed aboard
me remnants of the Iowa's
oroken hull.
Scores of beach-combers swarm
ed on the beaches today, but as
far as was known, their salvage
was meager. A large portion of
the storm-tossed lumber, shin
gles, canned salmon, flour and
matches was taken yesterday by
hundreds of onlookers, each de
positing his findings In his in
dividual pile and wading back
for more.
AH Rope Lost Early
Coast guardsmen held no hone
for any ot the crew after the
Iowa began breaking up yester
day. The last view of life aboard
the ship was that of forms scur
rying np rope ladders. Then gi
gantic breakers shut the doomed
vessel from view. When It re
appeared It was as a ghost rais
ing from too-familiar scenes.
Four coast guard boats, man
ned by 70 men, braved what ap
peared almost certain disaster in
battling their way across the Co
lumbia river bar and close to
the site of the wrecksge.
All reported tha Iowa was de
serted and rapidly sinking In
the sand.
Hull Barely Visible
Today only a small portion of
the hull was visible snd the
lone mast which withstood the
storm was cut almost to the
deckline. The wreckage was ex
pected to be visible only a few
hours more before the greedy
waves of Peacock Spit finally
swallow another of their many
victims.
An even greater loss of life
occurred on the spit when the
General Warren sank there in
1852 and 40 perished. A more
recent tragedy was the demise
of the Rosecrans with the loss
of 33 lives In 1913.
Benson Wreck Recalled
The Admiral Benson grounded
on the spit in 1930, but all 104
of the passengers and crew were
removed before the sea claimed
the ship.
Fate removed two members of
the crew Just before the Iowa
became another ship that never
returned, but at the same time
placed two more aboard.
Frank Eakin of Seattle and
Robert G. Parker of Atlanta,
Qa., left the ship shortly before
it departed from Portland, Oro.
The Sailors' Union of the Pa
cific sent two men to Longvlew

the tlniinclal world.
KALEIDOSCOPE
It would be simpler If the now
deal shading system were not
occasionally like the street traf
fic slKiinla in Washington. Some
of the red stop-lights here mean
go right and left. Some of tho
green go-signals mean stop (one
at the main entrance to the enp
Itol grounds).
Thus, while Mr. Roosevelt was
turning his green dimmers on
the devaluation rumors, some of
his domocrntlc congressmen wore
publicly seeing red Inflation pro
babilities from the AAA decision.
Also, the house was passing a
two or three billion dollar bonus
bill without funds, and Post
master General Farley was toll
ing tho democratic national com
mittee that Mr. Roosevelt was a
sound money man.
Through .the kaleidoscope, this
much can be seen for certain:
Mr. Roosevelt Is preserving his
devaluation powers solely- for
currency dickering with foreign
nations If occnslon arises. It
! may or may not come within
tho next year. He will not de
value any more of his own ac
cord. Inflation threats were put
forward by new deal congress
men solely to sobor up conser
vatives, cheering over the AAA
decision. The congressmen could
not resist the temptation.
No devaluation or currency In
flation Is planned,
FACE
Thickening of the fray has
left no noticeable mark upon Mr.
Roosevelt's countenance. Callers
over the week-end noted tho
ruddiness of his skin. No more
than the usual characteristic
nervousness was apparent. He
still blinks his eyes frequently
in a sort of squint-blink. He
smokes Incessantly, twitches his
cigarette holder In his fingers.
From the front, his thin hair Is
as gray as the smoke which ho
bellows forth In Urge puffs (he!
does not Inhale much). Hut
from the back, bis hair Is thick-1
er and a brown-gray, j
A comparison of the photos nt
his Inauguration and at the Jack-:
son day dinner reflects a loss
striking change than might be
expected.
BONANZA
The size of the bonus vote In
the house bespoke the Internal
Joy of congressmen at being able
to cast It. Once Speaker Byrm
stopped the roll call to request
order becai se It was "a most
Important vote." Mr. Byrns con
sidered it so Important, he vot
ed for the bonus himself. After
ward, fully a dozen bonus con
gressmen asked the clerk how
they were recorded. They did
not want any mistake made
about their approval of this Is
sue. About thirty-five congressmen,
who voted against tho bonus last
year, voted for It this time. Tholr
