Only a night or two ago an alleged robber was caught within a few sec onds after a hotel room was burglarized.' "A quick tele phone call to the police station, where the report was immediately relayed by air to a moving prowl car, and the law was fast on the trail' of the culprit: - i The city radio system has been used extensively In connection with state police work. It has stepped up state police activity on many an -occasion when quick work was needed. What the city radio has done to aid law enforcement work in this immediate vicinity, a statewide radio system .will do shortly for slate police work on a statewide basis. Contracts have already been let on the short-wave radio set-up which, will be used not only in . police activities, but by the highway department and the forestry service. Klamath Falls is one of the sites for a major station in this general program. This project should go far in making Oregon a tough place for the criminal. Instantaneous information can be shot out over a wide area to mobile and stationary receiving stations, setting law enforcement agents on the trail of fugitives as soon as the crime is discovered. Like wise, the system will be an effective help for disseminat . ing emergency information to highway ' patrolmen, to 1 forest workers, etc. ' The statewide radio system is an important progressive step in Oregon. And incidentally, it is gratifying to : Klamath Falls people that this city was out in front, three or four years ago, with a city police radio system that has given service that will be brought for the first time to many a community by the statewide system. Gas Consumption Up OREGON'S increased consumption of gasoline in 1935 was well ahead of the national average. ' -.i Every state reported more gasoline used as industry " picked up and new and more cars went on the roads. 1 Oregon's gain was 10.7 per cent over 1934, while the , average increase for the nation as a whole was 6.4 per cent, according to figures from the U. S. department of agriculture. .. ; i ; Oregon collected 7,942,853 in taxes on 160,434,600 gallons of gasoline. Our five cent tax was 3.8 cents above the national average, but lower than the tax in eight states. Increased use of gasoline meant more money from gas taxes for road purposes, which Is illustrative of the soundness of the gasoline tax. WASHINGTON NEWt) BKHIND THB NKWN Tha tnatd M017 From ' The Capital a a a By PAUL MAI.LON Copyright lalt, by Paul Malice WASHINGTON, July 1. ror the lnit three months manufactur ing has been about normal. But it haa employed only 85 per cent ot Us normal number ot people and paid thetu only 78 per tout ot the uormal wince. At the tame time, the workora found living expenses only 79 per cnt ot normal, ao they broke about even. Their wage, ex pressed la purchasing power, la normal. The Important Impairment Id the existing factory situation, therefore, would seetn to be the unemployed IS per cent and what to do about It. Nothing very ef fective has been done In the last year. Absorption ot workers by factories has been slow. Approxi mately I per cent more are em ployed now than the average, tor last year. But the average ot production Is 10 per cent better. It raises the question ot how much more Industrial Improve ment will be necessary to take up the Idle or departed IS per cent. e e e CHART The figures are from official government agencies. The produc tion figure, however. Is compiled by the federal reserve board from fewer factories than the employ ment and pay roll figures collected by another government depart ment, the bureau of labor statis tics. Hence the comparison Is not statistically flawless, although fundamentally It describes tht situation more or leas accurately. You can gauge the situation tor yourself tram the following monthly chart. In it the years 1933, '14 and 'IS equal 100. ex cept for the price Index which Is based on 1926 as 100. The fig ures, except for the pay rolls, are adjusted tor seasonal variations. SIDE GLANCES-"" Clark I.J . . hv, J aww. scaajsw.frl "But, mama, I don't want to look like Shirley Temple.

No One Present At Club Meeting TULELAKE, July l.Nr at tendance was registered at the call meeting for the Tulelake Community club Mondav niaht. according to Earl Ager,' president, who stateB that pressure of sum mer work Is responsible. Potato Irrigation Is In full swing, hay Is being cut and stacked, nnd help Is scarce In all sections of the south-end. ALACK It yon will look behind the fig ures Into specific lines ot Indus tries, you will make more discov eries. Take steel, which has shown such remarkable Improve ment lately. The steel output for April wss 100 and for May 105 while employment in the industry for those two months was 77. and 80 respectively. Take autos. The auto output was 114 in April and 118 In May, employment 10 and 104.6. In other words, pro duction is steDDing un faster than employment, and the recovery ot certain industries has not brought normal employment In them. , Most notable example, . of eovse. Is tobacco. It was produc ing, uu a. xiv y I sou .'. u May, but employment was on 57-per cent basis. . The apparent cause of the dis parity, ot course. Is the efficiency improvement in production meth ods perfected in Industry In the last 10 years. Many such im provements were made before 1929. e HUMMER SLUMP No one has a very good line on what particular business the bonus has helped, or how much. Various estimates put out by the veteran organizations were for the purpose of promoting sentiment for the bonus. Tha actual expen diture will not necessarily flow into those lines. All that the authorities here know Is that re tail sales are being stimulated noticeably, many old debts are being paid and automobile sales are continuing at an unusually high rate. , s Nevertheless, the best guesa is that the next sixty days will wit ness the usual summer slump of most lines. Industrial production may drop down somewhere be tween 90 and 95. DROUGHT ' . Major worry of the new deal business makers 1s the drought. Behind their hasty relief activi ties are the political considerations which will necessarily guide an governmental moves until Novem her. In other words, utmost fed eral relief may be expected. Their personal opinions vary widely as to how serious the situation will prove to be. a a m ' SMART POLITICS - - The consensus among the new deal rail sitters Is that President Roosevelt's acceptance speech was a shrewd political document, but must not be read too literally, The idea that it means abandon ment ot the new deal economic theories ot former years is not widely accepted. His strong es pousal of the anti-monopoly the ory, for instance, reflect more political foresight than economic intention. At least, this is the view ot his new deal associates. What the speech meant to them was that the president chose to use the arguments of his political opponents to advance bis own cause. They think that Is smart politics. If he has changed his purpose one whit, no one here has yet re ceived any orders to that effect. Although many local postmast ers Issued "provisional" stamps prior to 1847, not until then did the United Btates Issue a strictly governmental stamp. Radium has a devastating ef fect on disease-causing bacteria, Dr. Otto Mayer, of Berlin, has discovered, Bonus Theft Victim Names Hotel in Suit The bonus cashtheft ease ot Wilson Pratt, whe' allegedly lost $300 ot bis veteran's payment late last week when he entrusted the money to a check at the Pelican hotel, re-echoed Tuesday in the form of a law suit filed by Pratt against Mr. and Mrs. George Christie and George Christie, Jr., operators of the hotel. In his complsint, Pratt holds the Christies responsible for his loss because the alleged tblef was in their employ. He said they refused to refund the 8300 when he demanded It and that, as a re sult, be turned to legal action in an attempt to force restitu tion. J. C. O'Neill li Pratt's attorney.
