We do not say it is morally perfect, -but we challenge anyone to show us a community that is. We realize that Klamath Falls is a comparatively new town, where rapid growth for a while outran certain refinements which are now rapidly taking shape and will continue to develop. This development will be best served by sincere com 'munity effort and by thoughtful leadership, rather than the antics of sensational would-be reformers whose chief accomplishment- is an unsavory and unjustified outside reputation for their community. A slant on the possible outcome of the 1940 federal population census is given in the results of the school census just ended. With 11,264 children of census age in the county, it is indicated that the total population is something around 45,000. In 1930, the county's popula tion was 32,407. Thus a substantial gain is certain to be shown in the decennial census to be completed in the county this year. The gain may exceed 13,000. It is customary to calculate population from a school census by multiplying the number of school-age children by four. That is how the figure of 45,000, mentioned ' above, was reached. On the other hand, multiplying the number of school census children in the city of Klamath Falls (4129) by four gives us a city population of 16,516, whereas in 1930 the city's population was 16,093. If we are to follow out the formula of 4 to 1, mentioned above, the city's population gain since 1930 , has been only 423. , - To say that vine city has gained only 423 .while the county as a wjiole has gained . 13,000 doesn't sound reasonable, and'awe believe the nssiimntinn is incnrmet- What has happened is that the families with ; children.

Our sruess is that Klamath Falls has shared in the general county gain to the tune oi several tnousand. - . , The city gam, of course, will be considerably less than that of thfe outside districts.

President Roosevelt to Pope Plua XII. WASHINGTON, Jan. I If you want to know the Inside on Mr. Roosevelt's budget, my advice la that you suppress this emotion and turn now back to "Blondle" or "Bringing Up Father," and en. Joy yourself. Exposing budgetary tielght-of-nand is like telling now to do a card trick. It ruins the fun, but It you insist: Mr. Roosevelt's hand is getting faster all the time. This budget la by a considerable margin the slelghteat he has prepared. On its smiling tace it appears to be a stern economising venture. Actually It contemplates the larg est spending program In new deal history. This can be proven. PENSION TRICK X-ray pictures will, not disclose anywhere within ita proposed list of expenditure an Item of ttot,- 800.000 which congress must ap propriate under the law for old age pension payments. The trea sury must psy this sum out to the old-age pension trust fund, whence It will be plecemealed to such of the aged as fulfill require ments. Mr. Roosevelt has Put this ex penditure on the receipts aide of bis ledger, not aa Income, but as an expenditure to be deducted from old age taxes. Aa a result he saved himself the embarrass ment of mentioning it among his expenditures. It he had listed It aa the ex pense that it Is. his budget would have shown an outlay of 29.037,- 000,000. not 18, 424.000.000 as the headlines have advertised. FARM MONEr Thus corrected his expenditures will be approximately what he baa been spending this year, the larg est spending year of the govern ment to date. His budgeted ex pense tor this year runa 89.059,- 000,000 or 172,000.000 over what la proposed for next year. But next year a prospective ex penditures go even beyond that. The president has omitted1 entire ly proposed appropriations for farm benefit payments, as advo cated by the agriculture depart ment and apparently certain to b enacted by congress. Agricul ture Secretary Wallace haa been wanting between 1225,000.000 and 1260,000,000 tor thia purpose. Mr. Roosevelt himself mentioned this defect in his figures by say ing ha would have to ask congress for more money for this purpose It farm prices were not above parity payment level this spring. Mr. Roosevelt mentioned anoth er detect. His relief cuts ha in dicated were perhapa too drastic. Most new dealers would have eli minated the "perhaps." The pres ident cut relief one-third in the announced "hope" that the im proving business cycle would cur tail the problem, but ne warned he would be back for more money It it did not. On the inside the understanding is common that In both these instances, deficiency appropriations will have to be made after the elections are over, possibly before. e . OUT-WEIGHED The story of what Mr. Roose velt baa done in an inkwell, is simply this: He has economised on some lines, mainly relief and agriculture, bnt his increase for national defense and other things nearly wiped out his economies and these will not only be wiped out completely, but exceeded, If parity payments are to be made or additional relief appropriation are necessary, as expected. OUT IX RAIN The trick of "The Shrinking Debt" Is likewise a swift one. Ap parently Mr. Morgentb.au left the debt out in the rain or something; It shriveled to an extent of 81,- 160,000,000 or more during the 1940 fiscal year while the trea sury was losing about 14,000,- 000,000 in deficit expenditures, and the debt . should have been increased by this amount,' ' To accomplish this shrinkage Mr. Roosevelt took 81,160.000,000 from the cash drawer of the treasury, reducing the working balance by this amount. He may have done something else also, but even the budget office cannot ex plain it fully. e TWO STEPS Facile also was his withdrawal of 2700,000,000 from the recon struction finance corporation and other lending agencies. The pres ident explained tney did not need this much of tbelr capital which had been appropriated previously. Bnt Instead of counting this as a SIDE GLANCES coae. l sr lau stawti, art. T. ay "'T "That's right get your usual Sunday morning rest while , I get breakfast. ' receipt, he omitted any reference to It until be came to next year a deficit and then ha deducted it from that. These two steps the seliure of cash from the till tor debt retire ment and the recapture of capital from the lending agencies make the budget look nearly 22,000, 000,000 better than ordinary re ceipts and expenditures would have made .it. ' PRE-ELECTlOX Main purpose of all thia fun with (be national books was to got the president out of the Jam he waa in. with the debt approaching the 245.000,000,000 statutory limit. FUR has thus relieved himself of the necessity of asking tor an Increase In the debt limit until after election by altering the bookkeeping total of the debt, the expendlturea and the deficit. He has done more. He haa figured everything out ao that congress would appear to be required to grant him a 2-160,000,000 Increase in taxation unless it wants to as sume the odious political respon sibility tor Increasing the debt an odium It refused to bear last session even under administration pressure.

MORRIS K1HIU1K1N Kdltor, Journal of the American Mmllral Association, and ot Hygela, (ho Health Magaslno ONE of the most serious condi tions which medical men have attempted lo treat In tho past Is erysipelas, Innumerable mothods of treatment have been tried from time to time with varying results. The disease has been known since before tho beginning ot ths Chris tian era. Death rales from this dlseaso have dropped steadily In the last 10 yeare, particularly with the coming of new antiseptics and new specific methods of treatment related to the germ causes. Ons ot the places where ery sipelas most frequently begins Is the nose. It results from scratch ing or brulalng tho soft mem branes ot the uoslrlls with the fingernail. It may also begin In the ear tor similar reasons, Peo ple will somehow never learn to quit exploring their ears with toothpicks, matches, and finger nails. Furthermore, tho oar and the nose are exposed lo all kinds ot germs which find easy entrance Into ths blood in aoratcbed areas. In tho Cook County hospital of Chicago, during the last 10 years, It was found that In 86 per cent of the cases, erysipelas began In the manner mentioned. In fact, there was only 7,4 por oont of all cases ot erysipelas which affected the limbs, and only 2 4 por osul that affected tbo trunk, The treatment of erysipelas dur ing tbo last 20 years has included the application of host, ot oold, of ointments, of ultraviolet, of X ray, of all sorts ot serums and antitoxins, blood transfusion, and Innumerable other remedies. Before sulfanilamide, It was bs. Moved that ultraviolet rays were probably the most sucoosaful mothod of treatment used, Sine the coming of (his hew drug, 112 patlonia havo been treated with sulfanilamide 122. of them In 193H. During that porlod, the number of deaths from eryslpelss waa the lowest ever recorded lo the history nt the hospital. When a tabulation wait made ot all of patients with eryslpelss, treated during the years 1 34-38, and of all ot ths dlfforent mothods that were used, tho advantages ot sulfanilamide appeared so obvl oua there could bo no question as to Its rrriclenry. During the years 1929-33, 119.1 cases were treated III the Cook County hospital, ami the death rate was 12.4 per cent.
