Invariably there is a great deal of uninformed, hit and miss voting on measures at our elections. Popular voting on legislation is rated as a "sacred privilege but it is treating that privilege lightly, indeed, to go to the polls and make up one's mind on a measure from the short ballot title. . There is ample opportunity for studying the measures in advance of the election. Every voter in the next few days will receive his Voters' Pamphlet, an official pub lication in which each measure is printed in full, together with pro and con arguments. The voter who prepares himself by reading this material in the pamphlet can then listen to or read more intelligently the discussions of the measures that may occur before the election. Here is a list of the measures: Governor's 20-day Bill Consideration Amendment ( Which would give the governor 20 days Instead of five, after adjournment of the legislature. In which to approve or veto bills. Legislators Compensation Amendment Upping legls lators' pay from J3 to S per day. Amendment Repealing the Double Liability of Stock - holders In Banking Corporations. Bill Requiring Marriage License Applicants to be Medi cally Examined, Physically and Mentally. Slot Machine Seizure by Sheriffs and Destruction on Court Order. Prohibiting Blot Machines, Pin-Ball, Dart and Other Similar Games. Townsend Plan Bill Which would direct the legisla ture to ask congress to call a national convention to pro pose a federal constitutional amendment embodying the Townsend plan. Citizens' Retirement Annuity Bill) Levying Transac tions Tax to Provide Fund It would provide a 1 per cent tax upon the gross value of each transaction made in Ore gon, to build up a fund for pro rata payments to persons over 65. BUI Regulating Picketing and Boycotting by Labor Groups and Organizations. Water Purification and Prevention of Pollution Bill. Bill Regulating Sale of Alcoholic Liquor for Beverage Purposes Which would restrict beer and wine sales to state stores only, as is now the case with hard liquor. i Amendment Legalizing Certain Lotteries and Other Forms of Gambling. These short titles give some idea of the need for study if the bills are to be understood, at all, in their many ramifications. In the editorial columns of this paper there will be further explanation and discussion of the bills, and expression of our own opinion upon some of them, between now and election day. But we cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of an examination of the bills, by Klamath voters, as they appear in the Voters Pamphlet, along with the arguments presented there for voters' consideration. Close of another year for the Shasta-Cascade Wonder land association reminds us that Bert Snyder, of Lake view, has served three terms as successful president of that association. Snyder lives in a county that is on the far wing of the Wonderland area, but his ability and leadership have kept him at the front. Lake is one of the most enthusiastic Wonderland counties, due to the splendid interest shown by such men over there as Bert Snyder. From Other Editors POTATO IS KING i (Oregon Journal) Sometimes thoughtless persons , refer to the potato as "the lowly ' spud." But spuds are anything ' but lowly in Klamath basin, where start ot this year's potato harvest was signaled by the an , nual Potato Festival at Merrill 1 last weekend. One can't very well deprecate : 6,000,000 bushels of potatoes i from one county, 9000 carloads, j $5,000,000 worth. That's the es ! tlmated crop In Klamath basin. and it s a lot of potatoes, tubers or spuds. It's 300 bushels from each of 20,000 acres, or six bush els each tor every man, woman and child In Oregon, Four thou sand transient workers are com- lllll Multi I3 fL ," iff I BUCK JONES I ' "STRANGER FROM ARIZONA" I I COMPANION rtATUHI jl "C00L00" l ing In to help harvest them.

SPENCER THE Newsv Behini By ItolALlOlOy WASHINQTON. Oct. 14 it would not be good for anyone to talk too much about our beat defense plans these days; but just file this suggestion away lor future confirmation: If present programs earry through, the IT. 8. will soon be so far ahead of Kurope in the air as to be au indirect force for peace for the next 10 years. Every fighting plane In alien air. today will soon become obsolete, By progressive further developments which now seem likely, U. S. stands an excellent chance to keep Europe trailing for two decades. It you do not see how this may be a force for peace, read again Mr. Roosevelt's two notes to Hit ler. It was clear, even to Hitler, that these documents placed the United States against any Euro pean war-making nation. Furth er authentle interpretation Indi cates there was a specific plan of putting force into that policy. In a word, the notes are now being authoritatively Interpreted as meaning the president of the U. S. Intended, in event of war, to repeal the neutrality act and lend active aid to the defensive na tions. Active aid, they say, would not mean a declaration of war this time as it did in 117. Aid could be rendered more effectively by supplying England and the demo cracies with superior fighting equipment and men to man it. Money and soldiers would not be needed, at least at the outset. OX CORR1GA.V SIDE What Lindbergh may have said about Russian aviation Is mild compared with comment around official hangars here. The Rus sian. French and British are all rather generally known on the Inside to be too much on the Corrigan side. A line from London the other day Is considered in some high quarters here to be the most slg nlficant recent dispatch out of Europe: "Four royal air force officers were killed today. . . The force has lost 168 officers and 91 men In accidents this year." SCANT BUDGET Wage-Hour Administrator An drews is troubled most by the wages and hours which congress gave him to do the Job. Senate voted $500,000; house cut it to $400,000; joint conference com mittee added children's bureau expenditures . ($60,000) to be taken out ot that; setup to start October 15. With only $310,000 to up heave established practises of five generations in a few weeks, Mr. Andrews has been able to estab lish only one industrial commit tee for textiles. These committeemen who are eventually to supervise wages and hours for each and every Industry are to get $16 a day salary, plus $15 a day while traveling. Thus it will cost $500 to $1000 Just to have one committee meeting for one industry, and as there were 500 codes under NRA, the cost of the total task is evident. Inner plans are now being laid to rush through congress a halt million dollars more before Feb ruary 1 Just to finish out this fis cal year. SEPARATE COURT Justice Black Is still function ing as a separate supreme court. It was unprecedented tor the court to give out his name and Justice Reed's as dissenters on the certiorari writ denial for Tom Mooney. Well authenticated court talk suggests Chief Justice Hughes would not have taken such a step unless Black Insisted, and inas much as the name of one dissenter was to be given out, it was neces sary to make them both public, IMPOSSIBILITY Official fixers have another Job for defeated purger Davey Lewis, but he will not get It.

Now I have no birth certiilcate or marriage license. The Family Doctor (This Is the sixth ot seven arti cles In which Dr. Flshbeln dis cusses the causes and prevention ot domestic, industrial, and traf fic accidents.) By DR. MORRIS FISHREIN' Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine HOUSEHOLD accidents are roll lug up Increasing bills tor doctor services, drug supplies, nursing care and lost time. People who spesk In terms of flzures report that such accidents cost us $1000 a minute In the United States. The safety campaign should not be limited to the streets ana fac tories; the Job is Just as import ant at home. Out of 25.000 fatal accidents which took place In homes last year, 9400 Involved children un der 15 years of age. For every fatal accident it Is estimated that there are 200 non-fatal accidents. No particular part of the home Is much safer than any otnoi carelessness can catch up with von anv place: but the great like lihood is that the two most' dan gerous spots around the house are tbe bathroom and the bedroom. In the living room the people slip on polished floors, stumble on run that curl at the edges, fall over toys that children have left and catch fire from sparks that have exploded out ot tbe grate. The man or woman who moves around in a strange room at night knows the hazards of a broken toe, a black eye or miscellaneous bruises from stumbling against will expire, but she happens to be a Mrs. Roosevelt appointee. CLASSY JUNKET Classiest Junket of all Junkets tor government officials and con gressmen Is the trip of the gov ernment sponsored "good neigh bor" ship, Brazil, to South Amer ica. Maritime commissioners an nounced all would be allowed to take their wives at halt fare, but some wives are complaining that the announcement was given out only five days before the boat sailed. No wife could get ready for a 38 day trip In that time, they say, so the invitation seems merely an official excuse for tak ing such wives as planned to go anyway. It looks like the party split In congress will be nothing to this one. SATURDAY! LewAyres Guy Kibbee . M LW VUfLffffn si fiiriiltura tiou. of unpredictable Uia- In the bedroom It Is ponslblo tor children to get smothered In a crib, to roll out of bed or to bo suffocutvd by some careless udult who has taken thorn Into his or hor own bed to keep them quiet while they uro c-ryiug. The woninu who Is In a hurry will stand on a chair and two tele phone books, on a dresser lop or on a shaky luudur to tlx the cur tains and drupes or lo take down a hat from a hluh shelf. Tlio re sult will not compensatu for a broken leg. Tho troublo really begins In the bathroom and tho kitchen. People step Into water that Is too hot or get behind the shower curtuins and turn ou the water aud then are unable to get out be fore the water burns them. The bottom of a bathtub Is a slippery place under the best ot circum stances, but a piece of soap on tno bottom can produce some remark able effects. Sometimes porcelain handles on water fixtures break and penetrate the skin. Anybody who sits In a tub of water and uses a vibrator or dry Inn machine will ho astonished at the amount of agony that can hu produced by a household current with a short circuit. A medicine cabinet properly kept Is an asset, but It It Is full of open bottles, snfety razor blades and poisons not properly labeled It will kill more people tbau 11 will cure. The dangers of the kitchen lie In slippery linoleums, heat from a gas stove, leaking gas and the use of lye, cleaning fluids, coal oils and gasoline. RESURRECTED SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14 (UP) Wcndol Brabham went to court to confront tho four men who put him In the morRiio Thursday. Ex plaining his "resurrection" after having been knocked out In a fight Brabham said a doctor examining him lifted his eyelid to test his roflexqs. "When ho saw my glass eye, he was suro I was dead, so he sent me to the morgue," Druhhsrn said. So thankful was he that he "came to In time," he declined to prosecute the four and shook hands with them Instead. Air transport of valuable com modities Is Increasing in China.

A few days ko another ton dollar por ncre was slapped on all small hnut owners hi Hie Nnterpriso Irrigation District by a vote or 0 for bands and 6 Hh'nlunt bonds. Now It that Is a ropreaentnllvo vote, thou O.K., but I am of the opinion that the whale thing (or 1 might ny scheme) was that the people was not properly In formed. Most of the information earns from Mr. Thomas of Malln, but I think possibly the Uulurprlsu bourd told him what to sny, or meant for him to say. Mr. Thomas represented lo soma of llio people that this bond waa only on Ilia acres specified In tho voters' lUp, which eliminated a largo area that is Just ns much Interested In a service as long as limy hnvo to help pay for It, Tho law says that each acre or fraction thereut must bo assessed uud taxed equal, but its Ilia In formation given out has greatly beon changed by someone. Every aero In the district must bear their share ot about $10.00 per acre. That Isn't all, Mr. Thomas who owns no land In t lie district has already given out tho iuturmalloii that hu, Mr. Thomas, already has another bond Issue concocted for next year. Just last year your aero homo was bonded for over $10.00 per aero, aud this year $-10.00 and next year what, aud before llieso two bonds you had a bunded debt ot over $12.00 tier acre. So 111 tho last fow years your aero bonded dobl has raised from around $9.00 per acre to around $45.00 per acre, your luxes hnvo been raised by 11 per cent over a tew years ago. Your Union hlKh school last yeur ralsod your taxes S mills, this year your county unit school bond will ralso your future tuxes another halt a. dozen mills, so friends when are wo gulug to atop them? Too law so tho Kulerprlso board says, that tney only nave 10 pm tho water ou tho hignest point o( every 40 acres, but now In ordur to get a bond Issue through, says they will put tho water lo your buck dour, but didn't mention any work out around llugor Juucllon (but watch). Several pooplo went to voto at the advertised polls but wore turned oway because they didn't own over four acres. The election bonrd Informed them to go buck down the road to a place wboro we could vote (or sign a petition) as owners ot loss than four acres. 1 wonder how many of these pooplo who are sub-dividing their luud tell their buyers how much bonds por aero is against their laud. A tew years ago a largo land ownar in this district want before tho tax equalization board and had aomo of his land mado tax froe, turuud around and sold some of this very land for $1000 por acre. You smull homo owners hotter bo looking ahead for good roads as under our present man agement our roads aru dolertorat Inn about 150.000 per your. If we are not careful the next bond will be for roads, then you will sweat blood. Tbe Union high school Is ask ing for $00,000 next year for pay meat of bonds and $20,000 for Interest on same, so you see what bonds amount to. Mr. Roosevelt says to stamp out Isms but how are we going to do it when our public has machine to turn ihom out with? R. C. (DICK) HOSKINSON, Rt. 2, llox 393 P. 8.
