A Great Farm Year
lLAMATH basin aprriculture, which has marked up
IX many an achievement in the past 20 years, is outdoing
itself in this war year when there is an unprecedented
demand for the foodstuffs from our crop land and our
ranges. - 5
Farmers of the Klamath country declared their intan-
tions some months ago to produce substantial increases
over previous years. 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:

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.

Governor Culbert L. 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.
