H. Van Winkle (who is now attorney general) and James T. Chinnock of Josephine county. First choice is Lusk, second Chinnock. For position No. 3, J. O. Bailey, incumbent, is op posed by B. S. .Martin. Bailey has proved himself in his first elective term on the bench and should be re elected. Henry J. Bean, incumbent, candidate for position No. 1, has had 27 years experience on the supreme court bench. The only thing that can be said unfavorably about Justice Bean is his age he is 84 and will be 90 when he completes the new term if elected. John W. McCulloch, Portland, father of Ralph McCulloch, young Klamath Falls man, is an experienced lawyer who would make a good supreme court justice. He is running for Bean's position, along with H. K. Zimmerman, George T. Cochran, and Roy R. Hewitt. The Recreation Levy ON A special ballot Friday will be a municipal measure providing for a half-mill perpetual levy on city property to finance a recreation program here. This proposal deserves the serious consideration of every city voter to determine whether the benefits it provides will justify the additional burden on real property. The purposes are defined as follows: construction, operation, maintenance of city recreational centers and playgrounds or combinations thereof, and acquiring land and real property by purchase or otherwise therefor; creating a special fund to be known as the "municipal recreation fund." The money to be raised from the levy (about $4500 a year) will be handled and disbursed by the city council. While the charter amendment does not say so, the council presumably will ask for recommendations from the citizens' recreation committee, and possibly from the planning commission and park board on various projects financed by the levy. Klamath Falls admittedly is behind in recreational facilities. It has been making foreward strides in a recreational program in recent years, but those active in the work say that they are forced to solicit funds from private sources again and again to carry on. They argue, with justification, that a co-ordinated, permanent program can only be developed when there is some certainty as to the funds available. The purposes of the measure are worthy enough. The only question that remains is whether it is wise to put an additional burden on real property, even though that burden in this instance is small. Not long ago we added to the park levy (which aids recreation) and just last December more than $100,000 in additional bonds were voted for various purposes. These are facts that should receive attention of the voter as he makes up his mind about the municipal levy. If he considers the small additional and permanent tax burden well justified in view of the worthy purpose, he should Vote for the levy. Pennsylvania and Oregon IN Pennsylvania, as in Oregon, New Deal big shots at tempted to interfere in a state gubernatorial primary. And Tom Kennedy, CIO candidate backed by Post master General James Farley, took a beating at the polls Tuesday. Farley had a "hunch" beforehand that people resent such outside interference in their state elections. His hunch was right. . But it is too late for his fellow cabinet-member, Secretary Ickes, and Senator George Norris, to do any thing about their interference in Oregon, which was induced by a disgruntled democrat and an Oregon pink. They've stuck their necks out, the result of a lot of high-powered plotting that has been going on for several weeks in an attempt to defeat a courageous, creditable governor of Oregon. What happened in Pennsylvania's governorship pri mary may very easily happen in Oregon's, just three days later. OLCC RULES OUT HIP-SIZE BOTTLES PORTLAND, Ore., May 18 (UP) The Oregon Liquor Control com mission Tuesday answered critics ot the sale of fortified wine by adopting "regulation 19" which outlaws after Sept. 1 bottles ot uch beverage ot hip-flask size. Flask-shaped containers of Icbs than 24 fluid ounces will be ta booed for wholesales after July 1. The two extra months were given retailers to reduce their inven tories. Fortified wine was de fined as that containing more than 14 per cent alcohol by volume. Chairman Arthur K. McMahan said he believed adoption of the new regulation would mark the passing of the "two-bit Jag" for those accustomed to drinking to excess.

DOROTHY DARE In "HIGH HAT" BEfflNBfa By PaulMallon Jf WASHINUTON. May IS- Not TV much lins been tnld about Mr. Roosevelt taking the brother ot the third movement, Senator LaFollette, for a cruise down the Potomac. The parties ot tho first and second part hnv been emulating Old Man River, So has Senator Green of Rhode Is land, a party of no obvious part, who has been publicly assuming ha just was invited along tor the ride. Their silence has contributed to creation of a major Washing ton political mystery, which does not seem to bo much of a mys tery at all to those who know the ways ot tho Potomac. In the first place all the par ticipants have been too well pleased by the obvious Inferences ot the trip to ruin any popular illuslous by telling what actual ly was said and done. In the second, each ot the participants may have walked down the gangplank a little in doubt as to exactly what the other fellow had in mind. FKIKXDI.Y IXTEHKST The explanation which Mr. Roosevelt is understood to have offered personally to young Bob LaFollette tor the invitation was that he was Interested in finding out how brother Phll'i third movement is going. As the president is a close reader of newspapers, It is logical to assume he knows It Is not going at all. As has been fully reported, the LaFollette brothers have been disturbed because the folks upon whom they counted to rally around the new emblem have failed to appear the farm- er-laborltes, the American labor party, the CIO, etc. PROP A further tip to the wise on the solution of the mystery lies in the selection of Green as third oar on the presidential yacht for this trip. Green is described by his colleagues being "the only democrat who might go along with Roosevelt in forming a third party." Whether or not he is the "only" one, he is certainly one. He is not jmt a Roosevelt-coat-tail-cltng-er, but a dyed-ln-tha-wooler who would change to whatever color Mr. Roosevelt decides to be. He was taken along not for the ride, but as a scenery prop. If anyone was taken for a ride It was Senator LaFollette. STOOGE LaFollette was ot great bene fit to Mr. Roosevelt as a guest down the Potomac once before, just after the president lost the supreme court fight. Then an of ficial rumor was spread in con gress that LaFollette might be come Mr. R's unofficial leader In the senate, but nothing happen ed. This time the rumor is com ing to the congressional demo crats that unless they behave and do what is expected of them, Mr. R. will join the third movement and make it a party. Indeed, there is some official sanction for the interpretation that Mr. R. knew what brother Phil was going to do all the time, or at any rate that he is not displeas ed with anyone who wants to say he knew it all the time. A logical conclusion to be drawn front these gestures, in ferences and Interpretations is that they will probably work out into exactly nothing again. They seem to be serving merely a temporary purpose. Note: A congressman who called Senator LaFollette'B office tor brother Phll'B speech found no copies available and no print ed material concerning the third movement on hand. The applica tion bad to be sent out to Madi son. REVIVALS The insiders In congress are currently fearing Mr. Roosevelt will use his revived force to re vive just about everything he has lost in congress, except the su preme court reform bill. The signs they have seen and the things they have heard have changed the whole Inside picture here lately. Revival of the reorganization bill (about which you were fore warned) is being connected up in the congressional mind with the amendment which was pencil ed Into the spend-lend bill In the houBe at the last moment giving the president an apparently minor right to veto spend-lend expendi tures. If he succeeds In reviving the reorganization bill to sup plement that amendment, he will have more complete control over expenditure of the money than ever before. Outcome of the wage-hour re NOW PLAYING! m!2k mm NEWS NOVELTY COLOR CARTOON SIDE GLANCES r "I f mc "(Uin'l you moke less clutter, Aztileaf We don't want the quests to know the kitchen is right in here." vival Is still doubtful. Tho op position will try In the house next Monday to substitute the senate bill with southern differ entials, and the vote is apt to be close. But the most sensational re vlvul of all is the Florida ship canal bill which mlracuously has emerged from the house com mittee with a 12 to 5 approval. The unannounced truth is three ot the 12 approving members re served the right to oppose tho bill later on the floor It It seems to have a chance of passing. Also two leading opponents of the bill did not participate in the committee vote. One was trans ferred to another committee, and the other died recently. For these reasons they say the bill has no chance, but you can never be sure until the last con gressman Is out of town, and the revival Is over. BAXDWAGOX No political Insiders here mani fest any amazement over General Farley'a amazing split-ticket en dorsement of Earle and Kennedy the day before the Pennsylvania primary. Confidential reports to democratic headquarters from Pennsylvania had long indicated these two would win. Telling the Editor HOSKIXSON OX BRIDGE Klamath Falls. Ore. (To the Editor): This is election time again, and I would like to advise every free born American to get out and exercise your franchise, and as springtime Is house clean ing time let's just do that. Look up the record and prom ises ot your candidate, but don't take too much stock In promises. I am vitally Interested In the small homes and owners south and east of Klamath Falls as you all know. The point that I am coming to is this: The county court has caused through PWA (so they say) to have a bridge constructed across government canal on a line with Eberline street In Mills addition to a road which is a continuation of Alameda street and connecting with Shasta Way. This bridge has no approach from Eberline street except to go through two fences. Now you wouldn't have to tickle my feet much to make me tell you Just who this bridge was built for, but your taxes and mine was used for same under the guise that the work was done by WPA. It you small taxpayers look up how many homes are located on this continuation of Alameda street that the county court has made a county road out of, and then, look how many homes are located on a similar distance in our several tracts, you can each one see who Is pulling strings, this continuation was built under our present county court and SERA before WPA's birth for such work. The small home owners In these tracts have not had more than ten per cent of the amount ot road work that they pay for in gas and property taxes. For example, I might show you where your money is going. In the Evening Herald of May 16 is something said about MM COLBERT COOPER in "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" George Clark oiling the Malone road from The Uallea-Lalltornla highway (I sup pose the state lino road, distance ot about It miles, (12.000. Well that Isn't so bad as that Is a good tax paying acreage there, but (as noa Curtcr says) look nt this sur facing and grading of about miles of the Bonuuza-Mulln road, $24,000. This, of course, Is sup posed to be a stale highway Job (but Is it?). Now you woulun t have to tickle me much more to toll you of the three or four tax payers this Is being done (or. One man on this road has bought at tax sale several thou sand acres of tax sales land rang ing In price from 38 cents to fifty cents per acre, so you see he has to have a fine road to drive (his rattle over), his stock over, also connect his Poe valley property to his lease land on Tule lake. If the large farm owners had to pay as much taxes per acre as we small home owners do It would break every farmer In Klam ath county. Most of the WPA work that haa been done In our tracts haa been done by the un employed of Klamath Falls, (but) we In the small tracts, no matter where you live outside tho city limits, cannot work on any public work In Klamath Falls, and there are men on the WPA who havo been there for yenrs that 1 know of. R. C. IIOSKINSO.V, Rt. 2, Box 393. OX RECLAMATION' KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To the Editor) As all ot you know, I have been Interested in recrea tion for the last six or seven years, and It has been a very difficult problem In the city of Klamath Falls. I mean by this that tho matter ot finances has been a dif ficult thing to arrange. Heretofore, and at the present time, the recreation of the city of Klamath Falls Is, yon might say, financed by the local aorvlce clubs, PTA's and all other organi zations. It has been a question of raising this money to carry on the recreation work by begging civic and service clubs to support tho program. Each year I appear be fore the various organizations, and each year they are kind enough to donate a certain sum to carry on. I feel that the city of Klamath Falls Is large enough to support a broad recroatlonol progrom, and the only way this can be made possible Is to have a cortaln sum lAiTTf "MEET THE iJL BOY FRIEND" The twin itart of "The Big Broadtail" or here again!

Hut I also ronllr.o that Klamath county Is rnri'ylng a heavy burden of Juvenile di'lln quoncy and I believe Hint money spent for this purpose, oven It It does raise your tuxes, Is a good sound Investment. 1 am willing that It should raise my taxes.

I repent again, It should be placed upon a sound financial basis. You possibly are going to hear rumors that the rorreatlon com mittee Is going to buy a large tract of land In Mills addition, and that this property will he used only for a baseball field. In making this statement, and I am not speaking for the rest of the committee, I wish you to know that 1 believe this is (also. I doubt vory much If the recreation com mittee will recommend to the council the purchase ot this prop erty. I wish you to also under stand that before the city council, which has the power to purchase property If this uilllaiin tax Is passed, can purchase property II must have tho recommendation of the city planning commtHslon. 1 believe It would lie foolish to al low ono Individual group lo npetid this money as It saw (It without first gutting the advise and coop eration of the recreation rnnuntt toes and tho city planning com mission.
