Lighting
rtirf vatiUii "!!!rZI- Z-
II Month! aim
A CAREFULLY prepared and comprehensive report on
A street lighting as a means of eliminating traffic acci
dent hazards was presented to the city council Monday
niirht by City Officer Tom Judge. .
" 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.

TO STUDY CASES
Louis S. 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. Under Sec
retary of Treasury Daniel Bell,

In a speech only last Sunday,
said "tho dollar you and I spent
on food in tho summer of 1939
would buy only 84 cents worth
today." 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. .
