" The council, in considering what action might be taken, settled tentatively on a plan of installing large lights, one at a time, at various intersections as accidents records show these intersections to be hazardous, even though the newly lighted corners may be widely separated. In Mr. Judge's report, the statement was made that it has been found dangerous to install large lights m isolated locations, because motorists then drive alternately into highly illuminated areas and into dark spots. The council's proposed action, it seems, is what Mr. Judge recommends should not be done. Realizing-that the council has a problem of financing extensive lighting on any one street, perhaps the best thing that can be v done is to choose several adjacent intersections and light these as the money is available. It is suggested, at any rate, that the .council re-consider its problem with further reference to Mr. Judge's recommendation. j Quit Tossing Trash AT a roundtable discussion of community problems by committee chairmen at the chamber of commerce Wednesday, Bogue Dale put his finger on a local prac- tice that is offensive both to local people and to visitors. What, he asked, can be done to stop the indiscrim inate tossing of paper scraps and other trash on the streets in the downtown area? . ... x. Mr. Dale went on to describe some of the things ne has seen. For instance, he told of seeing big pieces of bloody paper left on the street by men delivering meat from trucks to the downtown markets. It is a common practice for people who unwrap candy or other packages to throw the wrappings on the sidewalk or into the gut ter. Sometimes, when, children come from shows, this is a mass practice that really leaves a mess. It was brought out in the discussion that the tossing of paper or other trash even cigarette butts on the streets is prohibited by city ordinance. Those who do it are violating the law. One suggestion was that comment in the newspaper (which we hereby offer) and over the radio ought to help awaken civic consciousness and stop at least a part of this offensive practice. We hope, it .does. Certainly, it requires little effort to use the receptacles placed about the city streets, instead of the sidewalks and gutters, for disposing of trash, Klamath Falls could and should be a cleaner town. A little more thoughtful ness on the part of the public, and a little more civic pride translated into action, would do wonders. . , Perhaps there is a chance. Some years ago it was com mon practice to dump rubbish, tins cans, etc., over the countryside, beside the roads. This newspaper campaigned against it Some one had the nerve to sign a couple of complaints against dumpers. In recent years, there has been little of that sort of thing here; people who used to do it aren't doing it any more. Maybe the paper-tossers will reform in like manner. T! C. S. Robertson, president of the First Federal Savings and Loan association of Klamath . Falls, accompanied by Mrs. Robertson, will leave this week for Miami, Fla., where he will at tend the annual convention of savings and loan associations En route south they will visit In Indianapolis, Chicago, New York, and Washington, D. C, and following the convention one of the interesting affairs on the program is a trip on the USS Florida for Havana, Cuba, for which 400 couples have made reservation. The trip to Cuba will take a night and half a day each way, according to Robertson, and among the highlights of the stay In Havana will be a reception given by President Batiste of Cuba in his palace. They will also be entertained at the $20,- 000,000 capital. American cars with English chauffeurs will take the guests through the streets of Havana and interesting side trips have been arranged. There will be five special trains coming Into Miami at one time carrying the delegation. . En route home the Robertsons will visit in Key West and when they return by way of New Or leans will also enjoy stops. The Robertsons will spend several days in Seattle with their daughter, leaving Seattle Saturday night for the east. While gone they plan to visit Mr. and Mrs. Byron Schollen burger, of Miami, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Doremus of this city. Read the Classified page.

Penfleld, national labor relations board examiner, will be in Klamath Falls Friday or Saturday, in connection with the recent AFL petition to be designated bargaining agent for Weyerhaeuser Timber company woods workers, the union an nounced Wednesday. Penf ield will also consult with officials of both the CIO and AFL regarding the setting of an election date for a board-ordered ballot by woods employes of Long-Bell Lumber company of Weed. In another labor development Wednesday it was announced that the AFL local of Klamath Timber company employes was to meet Wednesday night to vote on acceptance of a collective bargaining agreement negotiated with the firm's management. The pact has been approved but not signed by firm officials, the union said. FOR WEED STRIKE Unverified rumors were cur rent in Weed, Calif., Wednesday that the management of the strike-bound Long-Bell Lumber company mill and a committee of striking millworkers were scheduled to air their differences before a panel of three depart ment of labor representatives within the early future. Confirmation was not avail able. It was known, however, that a proposal suggesting the participants meet around a conference table before a three man panel was made last week by Andrew J. Gallagher, federal labor conciliator. The big Weed mill has been hut, down for three weeks fol lowing a walkout by 1200 em ployes. The company's woods operation is still at work. When industrial warfare spreads, it is sometimes diffi cult for responsible leaders to retain command of the situa tion. Sidney Hillman, associate OPM director. W7ASH1NGTON, Nov. 13 Hid den around this country In private purses now Is the astounding total of more than 58,000,000,000 (billions Is cor rect.) Much of It is In mattresses, socks and private safes. The evidence is clear that a hoarding era, far beyond the scope of the depression scare wavo has been underway almost un-noticed. It started with the war and has reached suspicious proportions since the first of this year. Since mid-1933, the amount of money in circulation has more than doubled. Today, currency outstanding reaches the colossal total of $10,421,000,000 (of which only $1,300,000,000 is In bank vaults.) This is an Increase of $2,000,000,000 since lqst Janu ary, although the proportion held by the banks has not increased measurably. Now some of this money out side the banks is no doubt held by business, but not much. Estab lished business policy Is against holding cash. The bulk of it is plainly In individual hands, and much of that is in retirement REASONS STUDIED Money men are offering many reasons. Heavier retail and de fense trade, expanded payrolls, higher prices and farm income are the logical, obvious ones, but, to date, they can explain away only part of the total. The rest is sticking to many people's fingers. Other reasons are suggested for the sticking phase. Foreign nations are suspected of hoard ing some dollars. The banks now have been forced to make a charge for checking accounts. People wanted more privacy about' their finances, In order to avoid taxes. But above all these reasons, there Is still the main one fear. Uncertainty exists over in vestments, inflation, taxation. At the helghth of a war period boom, the government has con trived a situation unencouraglng to investment. I9 its taxes, prices and wages policies, it has spon sored uncertainty. It has let prices run up and wages run up, while adopting run-down taxes against business. It has promised to try a ceiling on prices, but not on wages. It has sat upon business and the stock market with the firm resolution that ho one at that end shall make a profit out of this war. Even in its bond policy at a time when it needs all the money it can get the government is discouraging investment with de pression interest rates which will not provide a living security for an- investor who is not rich. While selling bonds, it has actu ally failed to fix a ceiling which would stop inflationary price rises and guarantee you that the dollars in your bond will be worth as much next month, next year or ten years from now as they were when you bought the bond. Where then is money to go? A lot of people have put theirs in farms or potato patches in the country. But the fact that most of the productive farms are gone or are overpriced (and the up keep and taxes are apt to be severe) has sent the people to a sock hidden in the attic. FOOL'S INVESTMENT Hoarding is probably sillier than the loose fitting govern ment policy. It does not make sense, but fear is never reason ing. With prices being allowed to rise as much as they have, and as much as the experts open ly prophesy they will, the dollar is hardly an attractive invest ment. One business authority here predicts the wholesale price average will be 25 per cent high er sometime next year than now, 50 per cent higher the year fol lowing, rdespite legislation as now contemplated.

All right then, the dol lar you are hoarding today will only be worth SO cents or loss in food In 1943, If the prices con- tinue to rise as predicted. The hoarded dollar is a fool s Investment. . SAME TROUBLE But Mr. Bell could have made the same point against treasury bonds the logical place In which to siphon hoarded funds for tho good of the country (without business making profits If the administration insists.) A dollar put in one of Mr. Bell's bonds "In the summer of 1939" would likewise only be 84 cents worth of food today. The bond pros pect for the future is no whit different for the bond than the dollar, unless prices and wages are stopped. COUPON PLAN Federal reserve board and treasury officials are paying some attention to one phase of the bond problem. An unad vertiscd meeting was held the other day, at which the question of making bond investments more attractive to citizens was discussed. The discussion did not Involve Increasing Interest rates, but may result in the lssu anco of tho old type of interest bearing bond. Under this an Investor would be able to clip a coupon twice a year and real ize he Is getting some return, instead of waiting ten or twelve years until the bond matures ond the Lord only knows whot hap pens to prices and wages. .
