Brief Comment
RESIDENTS of the Klamath country often congratulate
themselves on the freedom this section enjoys from
such disasters as floods, quakes and terrible storms.
News from the east, where
huge damage and taken nearly 200 lives, emphasizes
anew the blessings we have out here. Along with this
news of disaster comes a plea for financial assistance
to the American Red Cross which, as it always does, is
engaged in a big relief program m the flood area. Klam
ath's quota has been set at $850. Certainly the fortun
ate Deoole of this region can spare that much for as
distance to those in the disaster-stricken areas of the east.
They could do it aa an offering of thanksgiving that
such calamities are beyond

alcoholic beverage commission. Under the proposed
changes, local boards and councils would act in an ad
visory capacity on license issuing, as is done in Oregon.
In fact, the California tendency seems to be in the di
rection of the Oregon state control plan, one of the best
in the U. S. Meanwhile in Oregon, somebody up at
Portland is circulating initiative petitions with the pur
pose of abolishing the state system. That s a situation
that is indicative of the liquor problem. No solution is
ever found to be completely satisfactory. '
Klamath county residents spent an average of $8.25
on liquor last year, according to statistics compiled by
the state liquor commission. But believe it or not, this
wasn't the wettest county in the state. Malheur, with
a per capita consumption was $17.20, claimed that
doubtful honor.. .Clatsop was second with $10.43; Hood
River third with $10.34, and then came Klamath. That's

This newspaper, which is frankly critical of Mayor
Willis Mahoney on certain 'points, is glad to give him
credit on others. .When he went into office, the mayor
declared he wouldn't play politics with public health,
and he appointed a citizens board of health that has
given this community a food inspection program of out
standing value". Chairman .of that board is E." B. Hall.
In view of Mr. Hall's experience with the city problem,
it is encouraging that he heads the new committee named
to investigate the county public, health program and
bring in recommendations for improvements.
Clyde Dehlinger, the Klamath county Jad who won
The Herald-News potato growing "contest last fall, has
received a lot of favorable publicity in far places. Not
long ago the Christian Science Monitor ran Clyde's pic
ture, with a story of the contest. On Saturday a copy
of the Reclamation Era, official publication of the fed
eral bureau of reclamation, came to the editorial desk,
and in it was to be found a story of Clyde's remarkable
spud-growing feat.- -
Mayor Willis Mahoney. in his oolitical ramMinc
about the state, apparently has decided he had better
explain the fact that newspapers aren't strong for him.
So the mayor tells his listeners that the newspapers have
"sold out" to somebody. He is resorting to an' old bluff
that was called, with memorable results, when he tried
it here.
The death of George Ford is a shock to this and the
south-end communities, where he was widely known and
well liked. It brought an end to a long, busy career.
His deeds of friendship and philanthropy were multitude.
Less than ten days remain for candidates to file for
the primary election. A lot of self-starting can be done
in the remaining period, however.
It's going to be a dirty campaign, we are told. But
you can count on the politicians furnishing plenty of
soft soap, too.
A Smithsonian authority says age makes the nose
longer, the mouth broader; but since life is short, there
may never be a rival for Durante or Joe E. Brown.
Pre-summer advice is to eat salt too escape heat
prostration. Pre-campaign advice is to take a grain with
every political statement. - . -
With Herald-News cameramen doing their stuff
through the community, local folks are becoming adept
at turning on the old smile.

SATURDAY, March 21: "A new
commandment I gave unto
you." -
- Democracy is here to stay. It
has arrived only as an idea, not
anywhere aa a fact. It Is the
leaven of unrest. Democracy is
an attempt to translate the Ideal
Ism of Jesus into political and
economic and social - relations.
The true democrat seeks for a
society In which every man will
have opportunity to do and be
his best, an order in which arti
ficial hindrances will be remov
ed. It uttlis tor mutual respect
and the recognition of mutual
service. It means the spirit of an
. unbreakable and an undlscottr
ageablo good will. It does not
mean the surrender of control to
tho Incompetent. It rather seeks
for the freedom through which
i each individual' can make his
contribution to the common good.
Democracy stands for tolerance,
- aympathey, understanding.

WASHINGTON, March SI
Preaidaut Roosevelt said ho hud
high hopes that his housing ad
visers would soon hart) a plan
ready. This was merely a polite
cover-up tor the tact, which will
be evident shortly, that the bous
ing plan has blown up.
What Mr. Roosevelt would
have said, it he had spokeu his
mind, Is something like tuts
The Inability of any two of his
housing experts to agree on any
thing has convinced him that
nothing Important can be at
tempted along that line. Further
more, he has wasted so much
time on the subject that he hopes
that no one will mention It to
him soon again. And as tor the
experts,

SUSPICIONS
The experts cannot even agree
on why they cannot agree. They
seem to think it Is a matter of
personalities. Each one suspects
all the others of working tor sub
versive influences. That is, they
suspect each other of working for
mortgage bankers trying to block
the program, or (or certain build
ing groups with political influ
ence trying to promote certain
phases ot it selfishly.
They are probably Just a little
bit right in their suspicions ot
each other. But the basic reason
tor the futility ot the idea, al
though they will deny it, seems
to oe this:
All schemes which have been
analysed and considered contain
such rank discriminations against
property noiaers mat they are
economically hazardous.
a a
DANGERS
Tne toremost effect of anv
iino ot nousing, public or pri
vate, is the shitting ot real estate
values. These cannot be avoided
It you build homes,, you take
tenants away from localities
where they are now paying rent.
You deprive property owners and
mortgage holders there of their
values. By your choice of a new
housing locality, you mav boost
the value of property owners
there. -
It la all right tor private real.
tors to do such things constantly,
but when the government starts
doing it on a national scale, a
constitutional as well as an eco
nomic question arises.
There is -also soma Question
whether the cheaply constructed
low eost homes would last ss long
weir- mortgages. Likewise.
some doubt whether persons at-
iractea to such homes would be
good long term risks.
At least tnese were the whle.
pered considerations which dom
inated Mr. Roosevelt's recent
series ot ineffective housing con
ferences. They explain why the
new dealers cannot have a pro

one highly desirable as campaign
