For a number of years, Klamath Falls has held Fourth of July celebration under the heading of Buckaroo Days. The rodeo was the program around which the whole event was built. This year, the regular Buckaroo Days show was cancelled because of war conditions. From that point, plans began to develop for a Fourth of July celebration that differs not greatly from Buckaroo Days but includes new wartime features and is based on a com' munity-wide effort headed by Mayor John Houston. The rodeo will be with us again; there will be a parade that should shade anything of the celebrations, and a religious be held Sunday evening at tirely new to Fourth of July Travel conditions are such that many people, who or dinarily take holiday trips not want to leave the basin this reason, it has been felt planners that Klamath Falls ment program that would inspiring to stay within the weekend. The victory celebration tion planners deserve not only a good hand, but warm public response through attendance at the various events which go to make up the program. It has shaped up into a worthwhile enterprise. Example CIGND7ICAKCB of the British parliamentary debate J prior to the vote of confidence for Churchill, as an example of democratic processes in action in wartime, was so impressive that the prune upon it repeatedly in his final Here was a nation not most critical stage of that speak out in criticism of the ning the war were given free rein to say their say, as bit terly as they wished to make it. Churchill remarked the verbal attack brought "distress to all our friends and de light to our foes." Yet Churchill would not it possible, nor would any an outstanding example of courage that has no parallel in the camp of the enemy. Adolf Hitler does not have the courage to let those who disagree with him in his own country stand up and say so without fear of pun ishment. t The British, regardless of what their other faults may be, have done an outstanding Job throughout the war in upholding free speech and of giving the people full in formation, good or bad, on the progress of the war. This jm uut orougm as mucn comfort or delight to the enemy f? ne nSt suppose, offhandedly. It has helped give the British people fortitude and courage in the face of terrific stress. In the long run, it may be possible to count k au important xactor m the winning of the war. According to a report by the Siskiyou County Cow testing association, herds in the Tulelake district of that county won first, second and third places. They are owned by E. M. Mitchell, Gus Lindsay and E. B. Scott, respectively. Our end of Siskiyou county appears to be doing right well by itself.

BHMILMaMjOM 1ST' WASHINGTON, July 3 Rev " olutlonary extent of our economic dislocation due to the war is only now beginning to be fully apparent in detailed survey vmrtiirtfid hv envern ment and private organizations here. Getting richest are the old depressed national railroads, iiv ter-city buses and local street car lines in defense boom areas, They never ran at capacity be fore. Even the Erie railroad paid dividend the other day for the first time In history. The rubber and gasoline sav- ing program has taxed street and bus systems in many cities so severely that shoppers have been asked to stagger their hours outside the rush period, and in Washington all down town stores are remaining open one night a week. Taxicab drivers are similarly enjoying unprecedented prosperity in boom towns. Defense industries represent the next most profitable phase of war economy, but their con dition is full of contrasts. Some small manufacturers, who never did well, are enjoying amazing success making small defense gadgets, like noise filters for tank radios, special gun parts, and such. Bulk of big business is in gigantic operations, but profits have not generally been in creased, due to limitations specified in government con tracts, the excess profits and other profits taxes. Many divi dends are down. And manufacturers who have not been able to convert to war business (largely metal shaping, casting, ornamental chromium copper, brass makers) are go ing into retirement. It is be lieved around 70,000 small man ufacturers may fold their cards withing the next year, which would be roughly one-third of the manufacturing units of the country. The fanner is doing well. His Income will be up $2,000,- 000,000 this year, an increase of about 20 per cent. He is buying more and more from mail order houses and in small nearby towns, 'due to the gas and rub ber pinctu In fact some experts here believe the small town may be restored to its pre-automobile dignity in American life before this war is over. The only organizations which will get rich and stay there, however, are the union labor groups. Size of their large in come increase is a secret to them, but they are not subject to taxes and hence will not pay their war profits back, into the government. Some carpenters who. never made more than $35 a week in their lives in rural areas in the midwest are getting $100 a week. Sons just out of high school are in some sections get ting more money than their fathers for unskilled work in booming defense areas. But both' real estate and building industries are feeling painful pinch. Even in boom areas, no one wants to buy; everyone wants to rent. Defense building is being handled by a comparatively small number of large contrac tors. The little builder was practically thrown out by a shortage of materials. Small stores, handling one class of goods, are beginning to be forced out (radios, phono graphs, hardware, household ap pliances, wearing apparel). Also being eliminated are the small marginal stores which cannot get stocks. The department stores, how ever, have ample stocks. In certain Instances goods are be ing sold at less than the whole sale cost of reproduction (New York area report). AUTO DEALERS HIT The great bulk of vacant stores on Main street so far. however, are those formerly, oc cupied by auto dealers. Food and drug stores are do ing well in most communities, but in some rural areas, a large number of people have left for the army or defense jobs, and these sections are suffering. ' Wall street Is shot, The amusements businesses offer contrasts as wide as Industry. Those In boom areas, which do not depend oh motor trade, are profiting; the others are losing out. Seaside beach resorts are living from hand to mouth, and so are the summer vaca tion places. Summer theatres are dead. Doctors are scarce, due to army cells upon the profession. Those who are remaining in civilian service are able to col lect their bills. Lawyers, on the other hand, are suffering. The government has discov ered more lawyers have come to Washington in search of jobs "His curve ain't so hot, but we always let him pitch his dad's a bomber captain in Australia 1" than any other class. A few big ones, handling large contracts, have profited enormously, how ever. The soft drink - industry is staggering as far as the public market is concerned, but some of the largest concerns are se cretly using their machinery in war business under government contracts. There were about ,000,000 salesmen on the road in the country, perhaps not half that many now. LIFE INSURANCE DROPS Life insurance business is not good, because the white collar people who buy it generally, are hurt deeply by the war economy, while the skilled workers whose income is being increased, generally trust to so cial security. In one group, there are 5,000, 000 persons employed in state, city and local governments in this country (mostly teachers, police, firemen) who are facing a 15 per cent increase in the cost of living without increases in income. Some businesses are allowing war restrictions to cut over head. Restaurants give you much less sugar but do not charge you any less. Delivery services around Washington have virtually been abandoned. Milk dairies now deliver only every other day. Gas dealers cut their overhead with the 7 p. m. to 7 a. m. closing and elimination of Sun day service hereabouts, but the cost of gas has gone up more than 3 cents since the first of the year. The oil industry was a boom ing war baby at the start, but has been In depression since the shortage of tankers. Some au thorities expect the little Inde pendents will be crowded out Airlines lost their booming profits when the government seized half their planes. Clean ing shops cannot get fluid for cleaning in the east. Undertakers, however, are do ing about the same business as usual. VICTORY DAY RENO, Nev. OP) Reno's war bond drive lasted almost an hour before the $50,000 goal was reached. The one man who asked that his name be withheld bought all $50,000 worth himself. The goal was promptly boost ed to $100,000. The fellow who gets his un conditional release often is a fin ished ball player.

In a letter to the Pennsylvania newspaper Publishers as.iocl otion. Pew said America has the most competent press In the world" because of its advertising revenue "which, redacting the activities ot our system of free competitive enterprise, gives to our press so broad 'a basis of economic support that it can af ford and can dare to be inde pendent. Without such a broad founda tion of economic support our press would be dependent on the favors of politics and the sub sidies of government, like proc- ucany an me press of continen tal turope," he said.
