i An Important Problem Met
A SOLUTION to the airport road problem was not easy
for the county court, because this requirement arose
after county funds had been budgeted for the year. Im
mediate action was necessary in order to clear the way
for the additional expenditure of $278,000 by the fed
eral government on the Klamath airport, and court mem
bers, with commendable judgment, agreed to do what
was necessary. We believe the public will support that
decision.
' Here is the situation: The civil aeronautics author
ity plans for further airport expansion, just announced.
require the closing of a section of the Spring Lake road
(Summers lane extension). Before this part of the road
can be closed, an alternate route must be provided for
those people who regularly use the road.
Some months ago when the matter first came up, it
was not anticipated action would be required until next
year, and the court had planned to carry out the work
on next year's budget and possibly two more years after
that. Then, suddenly, the government offered another
$278,000, asking that the way be cleared immediately
for construction of another runway, making ours one of
the finest airports in Oregon.
J Another factor demanding immediate action: If there
is no delay, the government can permit the present air
port contractor to proceed with the additional work on
a'unit basis. This will eliminate the loss of time in letting
another contract, and assure the expenditure of the money
here. If permitted to drag through the winter, the new
work might be cancelled.
t The airport road change will cost the county about
$6000. The city is spending in excess of $50,000 in pro
viding a site lor the airport expansion, and originally
provided another large sum for the original airport The
county's share in the cost is small, but even so, it is not
easy to find at this time. The court members agreed to
build the road, and such assurance was passed on to the
army engineers, construction agent on the airport. The
money will be used from the emergency fund and other
sources legally available. It is a squeeze, but it is just
fied by the benefits promised.
The expenditure by the CAA of nearly $600,000 on
tje Klamath airport has been officially described as
necessary to the national defense. What city and county
are putting into the field may therefore be regarded not
only as exceedingly important to the future of aviation
for this community, but as a contribution to national de
fense. Those who must wait for road work they hoped
to get this year, but cannot get because of the airport
A if 1 . 1 1
situation, snouia iook ax it in xnat way.
j Reward of Appeasement
RUSSIA must be industriously kicking itself these days.
In the 18 months just before Germany turned on the
friend who had tried to appease her, Russia sent Ger
many a million tons of oil, including lubricants and avia-
Hon gasoline. That is a British estimate, and though
Germany never got as much oil from Russia as she had
hoped, there is no reason to doubt that she got that much.
Now that same aviation gasoline, or its equivalent,
Is being used to bomb Moscow; those same lubricants,
or their equivalent, smooth the way for the panzer di
visions in tneir anve on Kiev and Leningrad.
J But let's not laugh too raucously. We've shipped a
lot of oil and scrap iron to Japan and now we're worry
ing about shortages of oil and scrap iron at a time when
we may be due for trouble from Japan.

as to put out poison to kill dogs,

was poisoned last week, and if I
could get my hands on the dirty

skunk that did it, I would make
him sorry that he was ever born
I feel sure that I know who it
was, and I only wish that
could prove my suspicions.
wonder what the Inhuman beast
would feel like if he -could see
one of those dogs die, there have
been several dogs in that vicin
ity in the last few months that
have died in this horrible man

I hope that the dirty skunk reads
this, and then will have the nerve
to let me know who he is.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13 VP)
Partisan politics, a regular en
livening feature of previous
young democrats' conventions.
will be frowned upon at the na
tional meeting next week. Homer
Mat Adams, national president,
announced today.
Instead, Adams said in a state
ment from national headquarters
here, the convention will be ded
icated to a study of vital prob
lems of national defense, the rea
sons for President Roosevelt's
declaration of a total emerg
ency and youth s role in nation
al unity.
"Since the overwhelming ma
jority of our membership is sub
ject to the selective service act,
and thousands of our members
have been called to the colors,"
Adams said, "the question of ex
tending the selective service act
will receive careful scrutiny and
full expression of those in at
tendance." Delegates from 48 states and
the territories will meet in Louis
ville, Ky., from Thursday
through Saturday, Aug. 21-23.
"Although we are a political
organization, the official youth
organization of the democratic
party," Adams said, "in view of
the grave conditions of the hour,
this convention will be devoted
to national defense and a re-
dedication of the patriotic policy
of the organization. Aa such we
expect the convention to be de
void of partisan politics."
The keynote address will be
delivered Thursday night by 32-year-old
Rep. Lyndon Johnson
of Texas, who recently was de
feated for U. S. senator by Gov
ernor Lee O Daniel.
Adams said Vice President
Wallace, Price Administrator
Leon Henderson and Adolph
Berle, state department foreign
relations expert, had been in'
vited to speak and that their ac
ceptance hinged on the pressure
of business in Washington.

UNREST
No common issue Is evident,
No national issues were at stake
anywhere. In one place, the
cause was a police scandul, an
other tho Involvement of an old
regime In a Mate gubernatorial
contest, in still others like Jack
sonvllle and Miami, popular old
figures were restored. In half
the known places no good rea
son was apparent.
One common national deduc
tion, however. Is safe. A large
number of people are unsatis
fied, politically restless, seem
willing to try something new in
place of what they have In way
of municipal administration
Whether this is the initial symp
toms of a trend, or stray mani
festations of the exciting back
wash ot war, cannot be guessed
yet.
But It Is there. It exists. Con
gressmen can feel the draft on
the backs of their necks.
