Park in Winter
KLAMATH people who went to Crater Lake Sunday
witnessed an amazing spectacle. They drove along
mues oi gooa roaa Detween marble-white walls that, at
the upper end, were almost double the height of the car.
They saw the fantastic trees glistening in heavy winter
dress. From the shadowy eanyon at government camp,
in the late afternoon, they could look up at the white
ramparts or a great ridge, still bathed m the sunlight.
It was a white, beautiful world, well worthv of nnv-
body's while to see, and yet it requires so little' effort to
go right to the middle of it. Modern snow-fighting
equipment has conquered the drifts, and on Sunday
cnamiess automobiles sped swiftly to government camp.
In a few days they can go to the very rim of the lake
itself.
For years, there has been talk of the opportunities
Crater Lake offered for winter trips. The park service,
at last, nas consented to Keep the roads clear on a trial
basis, to see how the public would respond. It is be
lieved that if attendance is good this winter, favorable
consideration will be given to making Crater Lake an all
year national park.
It is important to Klamath people to do their part in
creating this attendance. Anybody who has been to the
park this winter will agree. Certainly no one here, who
has an automobile or can get a ride, should miss taking
at least one trip to Crater lake this winter.

One of The Gang
IF Colonel Lindbergh would follow the example of J. P.
Morgan in his relations with the press, he might find
the tension lessened and much of the annoyance gone.
Morgan used to run away from the reporters. News
photographers couldn t find him.
But recently he has found the press gang not such
bad fellows, after all. He talks with the reporters and
poses willingly for photographs. The newspaper News
dom reports that the correspondents have found Morgan
a good sport, a good subject for pictures, and a man of
excellent wit.
And Morgan, no doubt, has found the situation much
happier for himself.
Colonel Lindbergh would probably have a similar ex
perience. If he would warm up to the newshawks, he
could probably count on their leaving him alone when he
wanted to be left nlonc, and their cooperation in avoiding
publicity of the type which it is his full right to prevent
if he wishes.
Pretty Flimsy
(Astorian-Budget) '
GOVERNOR HOFFMAN of New Jersey is now trying
to shift the blame of his action in granting a reprieve
to the Lindbergh kidnapers to the shoulders of Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt. The New Jersey executive in a re
cent statement says that Mrs. Roosevelt's comment to the
effect that the evidence against Hauptmann was purely
circumstantial has aroused doubts in his mind.
Of course the evidence against Hauptmann was pure
ly circumstantial. Those who kidnap, kill, or steal for
money, who perform such criminal acts through pre
meditated plan, are careful not to have witnesses pres
ent. In 99 out of 100 such cases conviction can only be
obtained through circumstantial evidence, if the criminal
does not confess. If the New Jersey governor bases his
reprieve for Hauptmann on the "circumstantial" phase
of the evidence against the convicted man, he is talking
and dealing in nonsense.

The labor council said Osborne

Forty-eight hours later, the man

Naturally, all the Insiders and
outsiders hero have been adding
up these two ominous events and
getting all sorts of answers, In
cluding chaos, Inflation or what
ever may occur to you.
The only cortalu thing is that
most of the current answers are
likely to be wrong. No one knows
the real answer. Including Mr.
Morgenthau, who confessed as
much.
The way this vast incompre
hensible situation is sited up
frankly by tho best fiscal author
ities here la this:
Mr. Morganlhau probably will
be able to avoid any greenback
tug or lurlationury tricks to get
his money, It he wauls to. Those
who know how he and President
Roosevelt have worked this money
game believe that both of them
will want to.
There will probably be no more
tricks now with the bookkeeping
gold profit. They will need that
Jl.SOO.OOO.OOO for the stabiliza
tion fund for a long time yet.
There probably will be no action
to open the gold market, as asked
by the committee for the nation.
Nor is there any likelihood of re
opening tho domestic gold and
silver markets.
One thing may be banked on.
The taxee you have seen so tar
are only the beginning of what
you will see, after the election.

Observations
I can imagine that It's pretty
hard for a Governor when,
Just before an execution, he
realizes that the subject's life
lieB in his hands.
We should refrain from
criticizing these men If they
show an inclination to be
merciful, especially if the least
element of doubt of guilt is
present. In the case of Bruno
Hauptmann, however, the Gov
ernor seems to be working his
imagination overtime trying to
find a reason for interference
with justice.
The thing that struck me
funny in connection with this
case is that right after Gov
ernor Hoffman decided to
grant a thirty day reprieve it
was announced that the Haupt
mann defense fund Ib now de
pleted. There ar no doctors in Lapland
PERSONALITIES
Pleased and displeased fiscal
authorities who know Messrs.
Roosevelt and Morgcnthau thor
oughly seem to agree that both
are essentially sound money men.
That is. they want to spend, hut
spend within reason. Where the
pleased and displeased cave dis
agreed and parted is on the ques
tion of where the line of reason
lies.
This Is supposed to explain the
departure of Assistant Treasury
Secretary Coolliige. Men wltB tne
combination to the treasury vaults
say Mr. Coolldge did not suddenly
become displeased. Nor was there
any definite break on a detinue
Dolicy.
Rather, they noticed Mr. cool
ldge month by month lately be
coming more and more depressed
with the prospects of raising
money to meet more and more
expenditures.
a
CONFIDENCE
There Is one new reason why
the experts believe that Messrs.
Roosevelt and Morganthau may
safely raise the money in prospect.
It is that the country is no longer
finicky on the money question. If
recent polls of public opinion are
any indication, the people are
thinking and talking about spend
ing, unemployment, farm relict,
etc., hut not about Inflation. In
fact, the inflationist bloc was so
weak on the bonus in congress the
other day that it was unable to
put up even a good fight. Two
years ago, Mr. Roosevelt had to
trick them out of putting some
thing over on him (silver).
The other reasons are tne same
old ones which have enabled the
unprecedented financing done so
far. The banks are filled with
money, have no place to lend
vast sums, except to the govern
ment. a a a
BURDEN
The inside on the tax situation
is as clear as the imminence of
unexpected spending.
New dealers do not warn any
new taxes levied before election.
If they can help it. Tbey may
have to impose some excise taxes
In connection with the new farm
program, but they will hold until
the last electoral vote la counted
to delay the new general tax leg
islation which the current situa
tion obviously demands. That Is
good politics.
It is equally clear where the
new hurden is going to fall when
it does. There is no more real
revenue In the rich, because there
are so few rich, Nor is there much
more to be gained from the poor,
and everyone eke, by sales and
excise taxes. After all, the cur
rent state sales taxes are' as much
as that traffic will bear.
There is only one place where
the government can get such rev
enue as Is now oeing lamea
about. That is In taxes on income
below 50,000. They will pay the
bill.
