Weekend Roundup
KLAMATH county taxpayers can congratulate them
selves that the federal government has a policy of
prosecuting Indian offenders whose alleged crimes occur
on an Indian reservation. Otherwise, large sums would
necessarily be spent in investigating and prosecuting the
two cases that developed on the reservation this week.
Both cases are of such nature that most of the responsi
bilty of investigation falls upon the federal officers.
Liquor was involved in at least one, and probably both
of these reservation tragedies. There is ample evidence
that Klamath Indians are provided with a steady supply
of liquor if they want it. Shut off that supply and much
will be accomplished to end crime on the reservation.
That is a responsibility that devolves upon local as well
as federal officers. It is a task that presents serious dif
ficulties, but a determined campaign should be made.
It seems almost too bad to see the Baker swindle
finally exposed. For that hardy perennial has been fool
ing hundreds of Americans for 35 years. It is almost
like an old friend, even though a false one. Now Post
master General Farley's sleuths of the postal inspection
service have announced, finally and forever, that the
Baker estate in which so many trustful ones have hoped
to share, never existed. The whole scheme is fraudulent,
and all the Bakers and Beckers who have kicked in a
million and a half dollars in the hope of sharing in the
non-existent but opulent Pennsylvania fortune have only
the experience for their money. Of course that's some
thing. The next question is whether the extensive postal
investigation, which searched the records of every county
in Pennsylvania since 1682, will really convince the hope
ful "beneficiaries." Belief in something one wants des
perately to believe is the hardest of all beliefs to kill.
l The disastrous accident of December 5 which took
the lives of Mary Mitchell and Grover Everitt was given
a thorough -public airing at Friday's inquest. The jury,
after hearing the testimony
the young driver of criminal responsibility, but took oc
casion to criticize him sharply,' as well as others who, it
felt, should share responsibility. Its verdict followed
thoughtful deliberation, and carries a warning to all who
drive or ride in motor cars. Its recommendations should
be particularly significant to adults whose actions may
be an example to young people.
It is going on two years now since The Herald and
News installed a photo-engraving plant and began pre
senting local newspictures regularly. The pictures ap
pearing in yesterday's paper in connection with the Chilo
quin shooting case are excellent examples of the im
portance of pictures in telling the news effectively. Al
though we did without local pictures for years, and many
dailies are still going without them, to the news staff of
these papers they are now regarded almost as indispens
able. We suspect that readers would miss them greatly
if for some reason we were forced to do away with them.
Lakeview citizens are aroused over the danger that
exists at the railroad grade crossing at the west edge
of that city, on the Klamath Falls-Lakeview highway.
The situation is one of interest here, because it effects
conditions on the important highway linking this commun
ity with Lakeview.
Klamath high school's basketeers walloped Ashland
Friday night. If our politicians can do as well with out
siders, Klamath is going to have a lot of home talent in
important office after 1938.
Siskiyou county cut its traffic deaths from 17 in 1936
to 15 in 1937, which calls for congratulations. Klamath
showed an increase of one.

By Eul Wallon. jfe'
VJ7ASHINGT0N, Jan. gn took
" mil the presidents horses
anil men to push this new "souk
the family businesses" through
the house ways mud menus sub
committee. Although the (nets
were not given out, one demo
crat (Mr. Mccormick of Mass.
achusetts) kept m two-day fight
going against the scheme. He
was trampled undor only when
treasury Secretary Morgemhau
dragged Chairman tloughton
down to the White House for
direct orders.
McCormick's opposition in the
executive sessions was based on
his tear that the tax soakers
in the treasury may not have
much better mini this time than
a year ago. , Then they wanted
to force out dividends of large
corporations, but after they got
their scheme enacted they found
they had hit all business. Now
they are trying to soak Henry
Ford and the other large family
corporations, but they may find
out m year from now they have
also hurt much smaller family
business enterprise. So said Mc
cormick. More than wheel-horses may
be needed to get this one pro
vision through congress. The
rest of the plan will go through
easily but the legislators, having
been tooled once on punitive and
social tax schemes concocted in
the treasury, are Inclined to be
skeptical about auspicious new
ventures.
TAX COMPETITION
Basic doubt about the new
tax Is that Ford presumably
would pay 31.2 per cent of his
Income to the go ernment while
General Motors pays about 16
per cent. This raises the ques
tion of how long Ford could re
main In business, against a com
petitor enjoying such a tax ad
vantage. It would depend ap
parently on how much of a re
serve he has already built up to
tide himself over lean years.
Note The whole new program
in full was published in this spot
December 27, and, what is rare
in these days, it was kept ex
clusive until announced January
UNANIMITY
Mr. Roosevelt may be mrming
for peace, but his navy is not
overlooking other possibilities.
Burled down deep in an ob
scure part ot the navy midget
are a few revealing words. There,
amid old regulations restricting
the number of naval reserves
who can be called to active duty,
the navy has inserted this fol
lowing new line tor tbe first
time:
"Except in time of war or
during the existence of a nation
al emergency declared by the
president.
Sea-going lawyers say they are
just gathering up loose ends for
any possible eventuality, but ob
viously they now see for the
first time tbe possibility ot need
ing all their reserves swiftly for
undeclared wars and other pur
poses implied by that mystifying
phrase "national emergency."
, One Roosevelt Idea which con
gress Is wholeheartedly for is
naval upbuilding. All demo
cratic leaders Including Mr.
Garner, the V. P. are ardently
for It. Republican Leader Snell
and Representative Bacon, the
republican appropriations man
ager, are also. Opposition may
be limited, strangely enough, to
Mr. Roosevelt s southpaws from
non-naval areas In the midwest.
NO WRINGER
William Knudsen, General
Motors president, was supposed
to have been called by. senate in
vestigators to be put through a
wringer for laying off 30,000
employes, but the Investigators
used no wringer. They did not
ask his salary, the amount ot
bis bonuses or political ques
tions. His friends said later the only
slightly embarrassing question
came from Republican Senator
Lodge who asked If the govern
ment had anything to do with
development of business fear.
(The answer was "yes," and no
more.)

NOTES
Don't go too strong oil tho ex
pectation for legislation to make
labor unions equally responsible
with capital for fulfillment of
contracts. Mr. Koosuvelt re
ceived many congratulations for
mentioning the subject in his
message but suid later at a press
conference the unions should be
given opportunity to effect re
sponsibility themselves beforo
legislative action Is decided up
on. Some congressional leaders
are for action, some against. It
is unlikely that anything will bo
done.
New Dealers around tho cap
Itol are soothing their almost
healed wounds from the supremo
court fight with this salving
comment: The resignations of
Justices Van Devanter and Suth
erland proved the president's con
tention that the court needed
new blood. Sutherland con
fessed he could not do the work.
The British managed to keep
their official reserve but were
deeply wounded when they first
learned of the Joo Konnedy ap
pointment from tho press. They
have Bald nothing officially hut
have let it be known in high
places.
A certain constant reader out
west went to church after read
ing the New Year day lamenta
tion about the lack of peace on
earth and good will among men.
There she discovered the ac
curately Stated rnlntlnnat.ln nf
peace, earth and men Is "Peace
on eortn to men of good will."
That may explain why there Is
no peace.
