A Great Industry
THE start of the potato harvest and this weekend's big
I potato festival at Merrill directs attention at this time
to Klamath 8 great farm crop. Estimates are that from
5,000,000 to 6,000,000 bushels of potatoes are to be
harvested on the basin's 20,000 acres planted to that crop
this year. It appears likely that shipments will exceed
those of any year m the history of the industry here,
possibly reaching 9000 carloads. Some 4000 transient
, workers are expected in the area for the picking season
which extends over the next few weeks.
Those few statistics give some idea of the size of the
industry, which has had a short 15 years of history since
the marketing of potatoes on a commercial basis really
got underway in this area. It has assumed tremendous
local economic importance, with hundreds of our people
depending on the potato crop for their livelihood. In
good years it has brought remarkable profits into the
basin, tnese pronts bringing prosperity to the farm popU'
lation and stimulating business to the benefit of the en
tire community.
Hence it was only natural that some form of cele
bration should be developed at harvest time. The potato
festival was started at Merrill, it has attained increasing
interest among people throughout the basin, and last
year Governor Martm recognized its importance by com
ing to the basin to speak at the festival and to crown
its queen.
This year's festival comes this weekend. It will
feature a number of interesting events and displays of
products. People from throughout the basin will want
to attend. Klamath Falls residents, particularly, should
not miss tne opportunity of driving down to Merrill,
through the middle of the potato country, to enjoy and
participate in the festival.
In tomorrow's paper, a full program for the festival
will be published, and in addition the reader will find
a considerable volume of historical and feature material
on the potato industry which we believe will be found
intensely interesting. s '
Walter Locke
NEWS comes that. Walter Locke of this city has been
killed in an automobile accident, in Sherman county.
Hundreds of Klamath citizens, to whom Mr. Locke was
a lovable friend, learn the tragic story with shock and
regret. '
Mr. Locke, in his years as an automobile dealer in
this city, maintained a warm and enthusiastic interest
for those things that make Klamath Falls a better com
munity. Under his presidency the Kiwanis club carried
forward successfully a number of important civic projects.
The warm friendship in which he was held by his busi
ness competitors is testimony of the worth of the man.
His passing was the community's loss. This news
paper joins with hundreds of others in offering con
dolences to his family.

W7ASH1NGTON. Oct. 5 Anti
" monopoly qulssera have been
going around wilh their noses
tilted to such a high plane tha
it seemed they were wearing
onions In their ties as acarfpins,
They never say anything. Not
once have they stooped to any
thing as low as plebian publicity
about what they are doing. Their
story Is that this Is a national
economic Investigation to chart
the future course of the nation
and therefore must be conducted
at approximately a heavenly mor
al elevation.
Someone must have left his
onion at home the other day
however, when the private com
mere department question
naires were sent out to groups
of business men known as trade
associations. The government
nose there was tilted downward
to about as low a snooping
angle as an official federal au
thortty ever adopted.
It was not given out, but the
foremost and biggest question In
the 13-page questionnaire was
direct request to each trade as
sociation executive to tip the
government off on any dirty
business "not In the public in
terest" being done by any of his
competing trade associations and
their executives.
Every other question provided
a brief spare for an answer, but
opposite this question alone was
inserted in parenthesis, "no space
limits on replies.
After asking trade men for
sneak tips to the government on
their competitors, the unan
nounced questionnaire asked
about every conceivable, phase of
traae association activity and
some that are not. It asks
about cooperative selling arrange
ment, inside credit Information
service, public relations work.
It wants to know what arrange
ments exist for classification nf
customers, otSalas areas, of trade
practices: what employer-employe
relationship exists; what safety
measures have been taken for
employes; what relations are
maintained with the government
(remember this is the govern
ment Itself asking.)
One simple little statement re
quests a financial accounting for
a four-year period; another, how
much time each member of the
board of directors actually spent
last year in the affairs of the as
sociation.
The government also wants to
get a .breakdown on the boards
of directors by geographical
areas and the site of business
represented: an analysis of the
economic and legal activity of
the trade groups: the age. edu
canon ana experience of every
trade association employe earn
ing over $2400 a year. .
The questionnaire says that
when responses are received, the
commerce department and the
antlmonopoly committee will
have "a convincing presentation"
of the situation In trade associations.
While there may be some
doubt about the "convincing"
angle of it, there seems to be no
doubt here that they will cer
tainly have a "presentation" if
they get everyone in the trade,
not only to snitch on everyone
else but to tell what be privately
suspects about everyone else In
it.
The latest questionnaire Is re
markable for another lnnova-
tion. It says: "Please." Each
question is courteously framed
to Invite voluntary cooperation.
The previous questionnaire of
the anti-monopoly committee
sent out by the securities ex.
change commission to insurance
companies carried a note of
warning at the top citing the
dire things that might happen to
anyone wno railed to respond
properly. It casually mentioned
me pain, penalty, civil and crlm
inal liability of non-conform
ance.
Especially tough was the SEC
in asking about any public utlli
ties holding companies. This
iirst questionnaire also carried
tne slug-line "highly confiden
tial, tither by design or inad-
venture, no similar order of con
fidence was attempted on the
snitch-query to the trade groups.
Slate department has quietly
started preparing another letter

plied to all territory occupied by

CIIII.OQUIN (To tho Edllor)
No doubt Mr. Michael Itucck.
whoso letter appeared In your
column September 30, has
not been In this country long
enough to acquaint himself with
our democratic government nhich
allows freedom of thought,
speech and press.
Why should any country allow
itself to be sliced up to give their
wealth to nppeaso some other
greedy, avaricious laiKl-gritlililng
nation? If this country should
have a plebiscite parts of Califor
nia and New Mexico would go to
Mexico; of Minnesota to Sweden;
of Wisconsin to Germany; South
ern Louisiana to France; eastern
Pennsylvania to Holland and
lloston to Ireland.
Germany proper, excluding ter
ritorial possessions. Is larger now
than It was in 1914.
Aggressive nations who at
tempt to steal land by Invasion
and war, and loso territory,
shouldn't complain, as they gam
bled and lost.
Tho paper Herr Hitler signed
at Munich has very few people
fooled, for he is a man of amis
and of the unscrupulous uso of
arms. What good Is a peaco pact
with a cursor of democracy, tor
turer of Jews, coercer of minori
ties and maestro of brutal prison
camps?
Mr. Rucck Insults American in
telligence by upholding Hitler as
a champion of a gr.-.t cause. Tho
minds of the American people aro
not so Detuddlcd and prejudiced
that they want to he ruled by a
uemogogic, demented dictator.
We have too long been too tol
erant with agitators of naziism
and fascism, who seek to under
mind and destroy American Ideals
and society with their villainous
and vilifying propaganda. A
purge by giving a forced free
passage to Germany or elsewhcro
for ingratlous peoplo ho prefer
domination by Hitler and his
kind, would purify tho air and
make a healthier, more dcslrablo
and a better place to live.
Yours for Better Americans,
