Klamath Snow Sports
THE two Klamath county snow sports organizations, the
the Klamath Snow Clan and the Crater Lake Ski club,
will be sponsors of a joint meet to be held Sunday at
the Annie creek playground above Fort Klamath. They
plan a full afternoon's program of races and jumps, and
on Saturday and Sunday night official club dances will
be held at Fort Klamath.
This meet is the first one between the two clubs,
exclusively. The Crater Lake Ski club of Fort Klamath
pioneered winter sports in this area. The Snow Clan
developed as an organization in response to increasing
interest in winter sports in Klamath Falls, and the need
for an organization to promote interest in these sports
in Crater lake park, which has a chance to become
permanently an all-year park.
The Sunday meet will feature, especially, junior
events. It should be well worth while attending, and
support on Sunday will encourage the two organizations
to take the lead in planning a snow sports meet in
Crater lake park in March.
It is suggested to civic-minded Klamath people that
they go to the snow country Sunday morning, and drive
Into the national park far enough to obtain their 1936
park stickers. This will help build winter attendance,
so important in asking the park service for winter road
funds, and those who take it will find the trip interest
ing and inspiring. Their sticker will be good for the
entire year. They can return to Fort Klamath by noon,
when the program begins.
Traffic Code Uniformity
THERE is no sense to the hodge-podge of traffic regu
lations one encounters as he drives from city to city.
Everybody agrees that uniformity is needed. '
A step in that direction came this week when the
supreme court upheld the state's basic speed law in
invalidating the Portland -traffic limit of 26 miles per
hour.
The court's ruling means that the basic principle; of
indicated safe speeds prevails in every, city as well as on
.the highways -outside.
I But it does sot mean that all the bars are down for
fast driving in the cities. It, in fact, places more re
sponsibility than ever on the shoulders of the driver, for
he must, to be within the law, drive carefully at all times.
At some places, he will be violating the law if he ex
ceeds 16 miles an hour. Under certain conditions, he
might be liable to a reckless driving charge at even a
lesser speed.
Buried Treasure
A WORLD explorer and archeologist in a recent book
makes the striking point that only a handful of the
world's lost treasure has been recovered. ....
The history of man's efforts 'down through the cen
turies to recover pilfered- loot- has been shadowed with
tragedy and failure. Only a few,- men ; have recovered
precious jewels . from ocean depths, or pieces of eight
from their hiding places on lonely southern islands.
In those instances where the treasure might have
been made available by man-devised means, Nature in
variably stepped in, covering the loot with great land
slides or corroding the valuables with, limestone to pre
vent their identification.
The omen is 'significant The scheme of things on
this old planet seems eternally stacked against getting
. something for nothing., And if you'll look a bit closer to
our own times, you II see
last great treasure hunt of
millions to get rich overnight on gtocic manipulations. .
To sum it up, in the words of Mr." Dooley "When
somebody gives you somethin' you haven't -got comin,'
call the police!"
DQEBR DISCUSSES
By Bertha Haase
(High School Correspondent)
John E. Doerr, park naturalist
At Crater lake park, who recently
has been transferred from the na
tional park of Hawaii, addressed
the student body of Klamath Un
ion high school at the assembly
held Wednesday, when he relat
ed volcanic activities of the is
lands. Doerr also touched briefly up
on the seven moot Important of
the thirty-five islands. He told
the legendary origin of the is
lands on which the natives' reli
gion on terms of fire is based.
Doerr had the opportunity of
witnessing the recent eruption of
Mt. Mauna Loa for eight days
before coming to Oregon.
"There Is no natural pheno
mena as awe-insplrlng as volcan
lo activity. The volcanoes of the
islands are dome shaped as com
pared to the cone shaped ones of
nearly all other active volcanoes
f the world, and their activities
are quiet, lava rolling out of
cracks down mountain sides at
the slow rate of 100 to 160 feet
n hour, or boiling away, a lake
of molten lava. Eruptions are
not dangerous."

Br PAUL MALIXN
Copyright 1938, by Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. Pre
ident Roosevelt called a republi
can senator down to the White
House not long ago and asked
him what wo wrong with the
New Deal.
The republican Is loyal, but
somewhat lndepent, and distinct
ly not a word-mincer. He has
a picturesque vocabulary and spe
cialises in short words commonly
used in conversation but not in
print.
Ho used them all, one by one
and then collectively, to describe
what he called "the blankoty-
blank saps" who are operating
some Important phases of the
New Deal. He snld they never
had a dash-dashed bit of busi
ness experience, but were fonnu
latlng federal business policies.
Also that they had never made
enough money to spend any of
their own, but war spending
millions and billions of Mr. Mor-
genthau's.
It Is doubtful whether the pres
ident has ever been talked to
that way since he entered upon
his life among the political lawn'
ers of Washington. He took it
quietly, thanked the senator for
the advice.
Note The senator also emit
ted a blue haze about the low
cost housing program. He con
tended it tends to ireeie tne
existing low standard of living,
tends to freeie low labor wage
scales. Also he wanted to know
what would happen to the gov
ernment it the tenants of the
low-cost homes were unable to
pay.

but with less enthusiasm. His
complaint was chiefly against tbe

SOFT-PEDAL
The peculiarities of this ses
sion of congress continue to ex
pand as each day passes. There
has never been another session
quite like it. Virtually no sus
pended interest exists in any
pending legislation, ana, in iact.
very little interest of any kind
What is happening is tnis:
The administration is conduct
ing its own congress off-stage.
The congressional leaders get
together and find out ahead of
time exactly what degree of leg
islation can be passed (note well.
tbe bonus, neutrality bill, farm
bill). Practically all difference
are composed in private. When
the bills are brought forward,
thev are already backed by a
staggering majority. T.hat' leaves
little to talk about and notnmg
nnon . which' a first-class fight
can be started. Resistance by the
minority is useless and often
routine.
The reason behind this un
usual strategy, of course, is that
the president wants no clashes
in a campaign year.
The result is that, while con
gress is passing legislation of
highest importance,, the usual
dramatizing elements are entire
ly lacking and the session is un
precedentedly dull for the actors
as well as the audience.

NOSE-TILTING
Farleyites are planning a lit
tle surprise for Al Smith. They
figure that the New York state
convention may he induced to
adopt a unit rule requiring aU
delegates to vote for the choice
of tbe majority of delegates.
Thus Al Smith may find himself
voting' for Mr. Roosevelt for re-
nomination whether he likes it or
not.
Incidentally, the White House
and Postmaster General Farley's
office were somewhat caustic in
denying the other day that Tam
many leader Pooling had been
summoned to either place. Presi
dential Secretary Maclntyre went
in . to ask , the president about
it. Returning, he said: "Abso

this pay off the national .debt?
Besides, we pointed out in a re

not be sufficient to pay $200
monthly pensions to eight mil
