Copies of Tha Neva and about the Klamath Falla market, may ha Weekend Roundup FIRST federal aid projects to be authorized in Oregon for several months were announced the other day. One is a section of the Pacific highway north of Grants Pass and the other is in the Umatilla country of northeastern Oregon. The cantonment near Medford and the Pendleton airbase may have had something to do with these authorizations. Of military importance is the Willamette highway, which the army has used extensively in moving men and equipment. It is on the most direct and easiest route up and down the coast There is a serious need for relocation of the western end of the Willamette highway, to bring it ud to the high standards already established on the road through the mountains and work that might well be given precedence in this period either through federal aid or Plans are on foot for the establishment of a memorial i$ honor of the Klamath men who give their lives in this war. It is a most worthy enterprise and there will be no difficulty in finding supporters for it. . No such permanent public record was made in honor of Klamath men who made the supreme sacrifice in the last war. This unfortunate omission should not be repeated in Tis struggle. J Klamath Falls In the coming week will have a murder trial, the first to be held here in almost a year. The last trial was that of James Q. sentence for the second degree murder of Jerry Zulkoski In many respects, the trial to start Tuesday, is the most Tjhe case began as a deep mystery and an attempt will be rtiade by the state to crack that mystery wide open by the conviction of Fares. Yet there is no longer much evidence of public interest m the Parks case, better known as the Buffalo lunch case The war does things to public interest. Incidentally, If any of the to handle this case for any of azines, here's hoping they do been done on certain other written up. We have in mind, in particular, the Anderson-Zulkoski case, which was carried in one "true detective" magazine. inis was a rather dreary case. Investigators who were most closely identified with wnen tne story appeared, embellished with a lot of sen sational fiction and pictures that violated eood taste. We've always had a feeling that a story advertised as based on fact should stick to fact. About the only facts In that yarn that weren t distorted were the names of the principals. We have it on good authority that there Is no threat to tne possible location of military aviation activity here in the establishment at the municipal airport of a school for civilian pilot training as is now being organized. The army might decide to take over the airport for military operations and in that case the school would simply De out or tne army mignt, under certain circumstances, take over the training. The army would not let the pres ence of the school interfere with any military plans. That, of course, is the way it should be. But the as surance from a good source does eliminate one matter of concern to those who have been interested in the develop ment of aviation here. It is estimated that there are approximately 23,000 mule deer on Fremont forest lands, despite the efforts of the hunters. Antelope in Lake county have shown such in creases in recent years that about 1000 of them get into the timber fringes of the Fremont in some part of the year. Most of the antelope there are thousands of them in south central and southeastern Oregon range the desert region east of the Fremont boundaries. There is still a lot of wild life In this country. Incidentally, members of the Order of the Antelope have been doing some worrying about the effect of the tire situation on their annual jaunt to the lofty fastnesses of Hart mountain. Last word was that the faithful are deter mined to reach the Blue Sky hotel for the convention, bare footed if necessary. M. E.

Many now ask what I think of the justice of their complaint, what is wrong and what should be done. It seems to me the root cause for unsatisfactory public morale can be traced back beyond con gressional pensions, fan dancers. suspected waste, mistakes of gov ernment, lack of aggressiveness, etc., to one big basic mistake. These valid matters are incidents seized upon by the confused and uninformed public to express its dissatisfaction. The basic overall mistake of the government has been in let ting the people become confused and uninformed. The public re lations counselors of the govern ment are, by and large, those who have gained experience in the previous new deal political campaigns. They are still hew ing too closely to tactics that proved successful then. For an over-simplified in stance, if graft was charged against WPA, they might have started a fight against "economic royalists" to remove the pressure and divert attention. Now that criticism is being made of certain government actions, they like to make-believe it is the work of some mysterious "Cliveden set" or enemies of the people in Washington who have misled the whole country with rumors. UP AND DOWN The trouble is that at the start of this war, the official line was to suppress military information (which ought to be suppressed) but at the same time to lead the people to believe everything was all right. The first MacLeish an nouncement, for instance, was a piece about how good our pro duction was going. Navy Secre tary Knox said something about us being able to fight in two oceans at once. The official tone was: We can lick the axis all right, )ust you don't ask any questions." This left the people in pretty high vacuum. Then along comes MacArthur's entrapment, the loss of Singa pore, the absence of aggressive action that the people could see and read about. The set-backs were really expected by those in authority. Anyone who has read this column knows that. But no official prepared the people for these shocks. In fact, no one in authority said much of anything about anything. Naturally, people began ask ing questions and they found answers in what they could see. what they were permitted to see. such as the employment of a dancer friend of Mrs. Roosevelt in civilian defense. WASTEFUL Wars are always wasteful. In efficient and full of mistakes. In general, you will find back through history, that victory was decided not so much by aggres sive action as by the makine of fewer mistakes than the enemy. But the government has been handling its public relations as if this were a political campaign in which it was afraid to confess mistake as if there were no mistakes. In modern war. everyone Is in the fighting zone, everyone Is in tne army. The bomber has brought the front to everv fire- side. Naturally, citizens who have become a part of war as never before, feel a keener in terest than ever before in what is going on. But the citizen cares less about few mistakes than he does about winning the war. What he wants is to feel that he Is a part of it, that he has been tnint. ed to know the worst as well as RninBoui ENDS TODAY "Mystery Ship" "Young Bill Hickok" SUNDAY Ronald Colman's Latest Comedy "My Life With Caroline" ond The Range Butters In "Underground Rustlers" mm SIDE GLANCES cent twirr "See, if I'd cleaned up this mess Inst year as you de manded, I'd have gotten no credit now I'll be thanked for a lot of scrap mctall" the best.

The president cannot come 1 right out and say he expects Singapore to go, lor instance. nunuuKii lie tun imply u, as Churchill did to his American congress. Mr. Roosevelt is a busy man, much too busy to make speecnes or issue statements every day. But the whole tone of his gov ernment would change, and the basis of its relationship with the public would be adjusted, in my opinion, if only his officials would stop trying to kevp up public morale and devote them selves to saying what they really think, namely, that we can lose this war, that we are in for a long hard struggle. They must let the people know they are not timid, not defensive- minded, but anxious to strike aggressively, the moment they feel able. They must let every one know they are as energetic in ferreting out waste as In any other endeavor. It is not a thing that can be done by a speech, but it could be done by a speech, plus action. SUPPORT THEM But there is something else. Those citizens who are carrying their criticism of government mistakes to the point of personal apathy (a "what's the use" kind of attitude) are only undermin ing their own welfare. Criticism is the duty of every citizen of democracy. It puts the leaders back on the track if they get off. It forces corrections. But these officials here are elected leaders. A majority pre ferred them. The life of every individual is in their hands. The success that victory will bring or the fate of France in defeat, is theirs to work out. It does not matter if you like them or dislike them. Your own self-interest demands that you give them your utmost support, even in your criticism. Every American is an amateur strategist at heart. Many think they know how to win this war better than it is being won. They have the right, and the duty, to contribute their opinions, but in the end, it will be the official strategists here who must make the decisions.

For example, if the to tal expense of operation and maintenance, plus depreciation, for the taxable year amounted to $dOU, and the car was used thrce-fourUis of the time for business and the balance of the time for pleasure, the allowable deduction, for Federal income tax purposes, would be $600. In general, taws are deducti ble only by the person upon whom they are imposed and by whom they are paid. If the state law imposing a tax on gasoline by its terms imposes the tax on the consumer and not on the dealer, the consumer may deduct as a tax, for Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the gasoline tax paid by him; but the taxpayer must have kept records ot the payment of such taxes in order that the deduc tion may be substantiated as is required by the regulations. The federal gasoline tax is not de ductible by the consumer. The taxpayer may ascertain whether a state gasoline tax is deductible by the consumer or by the deal er by addressing an inquiry to the collector of internal revenue for his district. In any case where the gaso line purchased is used for bus! ncss purposes, the tax may be regarded as a part of the cost of the gasoline and deducted as a business expense; but in such case the gasoline tax cannot be deducted separately as a tax un der the item of taxes.

I have had ample op portunities to observe enemy prisoners of war as early as July and August, 1917. These observations make me believe that we could not Jeop-1 ardize our individual and colloc-1 live interests any more than by permitting any enemy alien camps in tho Klamath basin.
