Who Pavs THE chart printed in yesterday's paper, showing: who ,1, pavs the tax dollar in Klamath county, presented a picture, which deserves serious thought on the part ot citizens of this county. re. , , 7 -1 T,a, It showed that 29 per cent of Klamath s taxes are paid by the lumber industry, and that 29.5 per cent of them are paid by public utilities. Commercial property pays 11.7 per cent agriculture, 19.6 per cent, and resi dence property, 10.8 per cent ' It is just possible that many people did not realize the extent -to - which, county and local government is financed by, the lumber industry and the utilities.-. Ihat totals 58.5 per- cent of, the whole. Any sizeable S" Bge in the taxable valuation tf lumbering and utility properties will have to be offset by increases in the taxes on commercial, agriculture and residence properties. a As .logging .'proceeds in the Klamath country, the Valuation of lumbering property is going to decrease. It probably, will stabilize somewhere down the line, but the present prospect is for lower valuations in that division. What happens to public utility taxpaying power depends on whether, and to what extent, public ownership enters that field. ' ! Another chart prepared in the county engineers of fice shows the budgeted-tax dollar for 1938.. It shows that schools, both grade and high and in city and county, consume a total of 51.9 per cent of the taxes budgeted. Klamath, county taxes 30 per cent, and the municipalities take 18.1-per -cent; . ' v ' . - -Debtr service presents 33.6 per cent of the whole, and roperating- expenses take 66.4 per cent. It is cost ing municipalities more to care for debt service than to operate their .municipal governments, c f This is important, if dry, information. It is suggested that interested-taxpayers, when down in the courthouse end of .town, i step; into the county courtroom and look over, the charts.iu Some may find it worth while to take walk down that-wayK--i'.- : st c . -?: TH .

' Spinach grown in various parts of the country, of course, differs as to' tbe exact percentage of minerals that it contains. More important than these variations in percentage is the manner in which the spinach Is prepared. The amount of vitamin c In the leaves of; fresh spinach dimin ishes rapidly when the spinach is cut and- the leaves are allowed to stand around. Five ' or- six days after the leaves bave been cut, the vitamin C content has almost vanished. If tbe material Is stored at refrigeration temper ature, and in the -absence of oxy gen, the loss takes place more slowly. ; . r -.! " There la also some evidence that cooking spinach the wrong way may cause it to lose a good deal of its value of mineral salts and of the water-soluble vita mins.' In general, cooked spinach has been found to be an excellent source of vitamin A, a fairly good source of vitamin C, and a fair contributor of iron. t ... Now, while spinach Is one of the. richest plant sources of Iron, it Is clear that not all the iron In spinach Is used by the body. Workers in various laboratories have studied these questions. Apparently spinach as a source of iron in feeding infants is of little importance because little-spinach is fed to babies. For older chil dren and adults spinach may hav greater value, although this has not been certainly established.

The Inside story, as semi-officlally told, is this: ' - At' first, Mr. Roosevelt expect ed a sharply" Iricreased winter demand- for- WPA funds d to the business recession. Rut up to tbe end of January it had failed to materialize. He au thorized tbe addition ot 360,000 more people to the relief roll of lvSOO.OOU, told his congressional loaders- no new funds would he needed, and Treasury Secretary Morgentbau made a proud state ment indicating the money ou hand was suftlcleut. i. Mr. Morgenthau's words hard ly reached print before tbe WPA spenders -began reporting to their congressional mouthpieces 'that a new flood of demand for WPA money) was starting and turned the whole situation around. IHI.KMM.A i ' For - months, the spenders In WPA and in .congress had'.- been weeping because they could not justify the increased spending they thought advisable. - Their programs - not only ran counter to the budget plans of tbe presi dent but' to the kctaaPrellef sit uation aa then being reported by WPA. -.-..a--But now the word - haa- been passed by -top WPA officials-that the figures of the past two weeks may justify a new appropriation ot J250.000.000 to last until June: The 'congressional slend ers say WPA had better take $300,000,000 to be aure.o It is true John Lewis first raised the cry to Increase WPA funds. Also that the 'incoming increased applications tor WPA money are coming-mainly from city districts where the CIO is most heavily organised. But the WPA'ers Insist this Is not -exclusively a CIO raid by any means. Thus has Mr. Roosevelt moved.
