They planned carefully, they nave worked hard, and present indications point to a record agricultural year. In this Drosram. the weather is playing its part. Seldom has there been a summer of more even weather condi tions than those prevailing in this summer season of 1942. The result is manifest to anyone driving along rural high ways. Never have mid-summer conditions of crops been better than this year. " The weather has presented no problems, but the man sower shortage has been a matter of serious concern. But by and large, the farmers are making it through this difficulty. What will happen in the harvest season is sun a matter of conjecture, but we have hopes that somehow, the problem will be solved. Unpleasant things can happen, of course. But right now, everything points to a wonderful year for Klamath agriculture and a distinct contribution from this area to the production of food for defense. Never have we had more reason for pride and gratification over achievements of our agricultural industry. : . . Bootlegging Hit THE city made good Monday night on its promise to - help1 stamp out taxicab bootlegging here. Councilmen unanimously voted to revoke the license of a cab driven by a man who had sold liquor unlawfully, making use for the first time of a provision in a 1941 ordinance. As was brought out Monday night, this policy un questionably presents a difficult problem to the taxicab operators of Klamath Falls. They nnd themselves pen alized for acts of their drivers. And yet the drivers are agents of the operators, their taxicabs implement the un- : lawful dealings, and-he city, therefore, finds it necessary to place the responsibility upon the operators so far as licensing is concerned. The courts, will deal with the in dividual violators. The operators, in their efforts to ' prevent the. use of their taxicab busmess for unlawful dealings, should be helped by the publicized evidence of the city's firm stand against taxicab bootlegging. It shows, that the operators, when they warn their employes that there must be no monkey-business in liauor. mean what they say, and are acting in accordance with' a definitely established pub lic policy. : a ; " ; . There is no place for the bootlegger here. The state liquor store is operating, and all lawful purchasers can buy liquor there. WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 Racial feeling an always bitter, stupid, suicidal guide for political action seems now to have emerged as a root cause of the unintelligible positions of the Indian politicians. Both Nehru and Gandhi .have rather openly suggested this in their recent ittttvlYieuwi. American observers, returning com jndia recently, have com plained they could not under stand the Insensibility of Nehru and Gandhi for the cause of world freedom when they want ed their own. Independence for India is pos sible, only it the Anglo-American world csuss wins. Ctherw such a defenseless nation would naturally pass under the domi nance of its nearest axis neigh bor, in this case Japan. Obviously then, some insplra tion, other than a desire for freedom, must have made the In dian leaders reject the full nrom lses of independence from the British in favor of a policy which would bring them under Japan ese control, if fulfilled. The statements of Nehru and Gandhi finally complaining against racial discrimination. snow what that inspiration was. For a parallel you must recall British experience in adjoining Burma. There many Burmese foolishly chose to fight with the' yellow hordes from Japan and delivered themselves enthusias tically into the Nipponese noose. Such a course, frenzied in its hatred, naturally does not make sense from any standpoint. This is not a racial war. China and the Filipinos are on our side, or rather we are on theirs. The Indian politicians; and the Bur mese, will realize their mistake when we win this war, although it may be late then. Meanwhile, it makes the In dian situation dangerous. Tax Rate Analysis . AN analysis of the Klamath Falls tax rate for the com- Xinsr year, which will be higher than the . 1940-41 rate. shows that city and school costs are responsible for the gain. State and county tax charges showed, a substantial decrease; otherwise, the increase for the ye,ar would haye been much more serious than it is. ; , : : " Here are the various items that make up the com bined rate for Klamath Falls taxpayers: 1942-43 1940-41 State and County 19.5 23.3 Klamath Falls 30.4 27.9 Elementary Schools 6.2 5.8 High Schools 18.0 15.3 74.1 72.3 Peter McEntire Injured in Idaho Accident Peter J.

LINDBERGH CHALLENGED A critical reader has . chal lenged my inclusion of Lind bergh, along with Doolittle and Admiral Byrd, as types of cool men of scientific action needed in the forefront of our war ef fort. . "I can go along with your mention of Doolittle and possibly Byrd, but Lindbergh is a great disappointment to most Ameri cans and has done more to cre ate dissension, than most peo ple," he writes. - Lindbergh is one of the worst politicians who ever floated political blimp and one of the greatest aviation technicians this nation has produced. Like most other men who are great on one subject, he is truly a disappoint ment outside his field. But we do not need politicians to win this war. That is one class for which no manpower draft is necessary, and one in which our prevailing surplus obviates the necessity of priorities. I would not care what Lind bergh's beliefs were before the war, if he could help win it. J wouia put mm where he could do the most damage to Hitler and the Japs. But, incidentally, I did not say Lindbergh as a person was indispensable to our war effort. I said we should get all the men of such a type who can do things, the men who think ahead of the crowd in their field, the ingeni ous, alert and daring technicians on the army and navy reserve lists or on the sidelines in the business fields for political rea sons or otherslet pre-war by gones be bygones and put these men into positions where their special aptitudes can be used to the utmost to win this war. TWEEDLE-DUM AMD TWEEDLE.DEE The army and navy have In formed, congress it should not pass the Rankin bill allowing de pendents of fighting men to get tneir living allowances (due since June 1) now instead of Novem ber 1, the day before the con gressional election. Bookkeeping is noiding them up and If pay ments were made as cases are completed, overseas men would be discriminated --against, they said. Thus Tweedle-Dum Informs Tweedle-Dee they were both right in the first place that the day before the election is the only time to pay in one lunw sum the five months arrears due an wives and children of service men. They plead "discrimina tion" and "bookkeeping" for falling to provide authorized food for persons presumed to need it for five months, thus In dicating they need some new bookkeepers. I have a feeling that if August IS happened to be election dav. the war department, navy and the congress would suddenly start thinking about how these wives and children are going to live without the living allow- ances now overdue.

This huge operation took up a two-month period be tween May 12 and July 20. Con tractor for the work was A. S. Wallace of Roseburg, and his son urrie Wallace was general super intendent. Kenneth Cloak, tore- man, has been with the outfit for 15 years. Mr. Johnson, shovel operator, and James McNevin completed the force from out of town. Many local men' and bova found employment at the plant, among them Cecil Nicholson, Lloyd Williams, Jo Milllgan, Floyd Williams, George Abells, C. N. Jones and Glen Parker.

Olson to day signed the order closing Im mediately all of the districts in northern California which aro now open to deer hunting as re quested by Western Defense Commander J. L. DeWitt. The order does not affect those districts in which the deer sea son does not open until Septem ber 18 but it was expoctcd fur ther action might be taken prior to mat date so. that hunting would be restricted or prohibited there also. : , It also was-expected that limi tations may be imposed later upon other types of hunting such as doves, ducks and pheasants but as yet the military authorl ties have not .Indicated their wishes In this regard and today's order Is limited to "mammals" which means, in this case, the deer family. Previously the deer hunting districts In southern California were closed at the instance of the defense command as a pre cautionary measure against for est and grazing land fires. The districts specifically closed today are Nos. II, 2, 21, 21, 2 and 3. They cut across county lines In many instances but tho territory Included is roughly Humboldt, Sonoma, Napa, . So lano, Marin, Lake, Mendocino, Glen and Monterey. The California closure has not affected, as yet, the nearby hunt ing areas in Modoc and Siskiyou counties. The deer hunting sea son opened there last year after September- 19, and apparently those are the areas on which later action Is to be decidod, lo cal sportsmen said. . t- , . v :- -Vtv (NKA TtUphal One of SO animal victims of a Oltveland Rinding Brothers Circus lire was this RlraKo which pollco shot after It had bcn badly burned.
