Bit Month Coordinate Those Tax Levies LET us train our sights down on a local situation for a minute and consider what may be accomplished here by the plan for coordinating taxation programs. In a few days, the nine levying bodies of the county will meet at the call of County Judge U. E. Reeder to discuss mutual problems and the formation of a central organization of all public This proposal may make fall by the wayside for want of public interest and be cause of unwillingness to cooperate on the part of the tax-levying groups. If it works, we may be able to credit wartime conditions lor a program that will have lasting benefits, in war and peace. Here is the reasoning back of this plan: In Klamath county, we have these various tax levying groups meeting independently each year and imposing taxes on real property. A number of them press taxes on the same pieces of real property. They lay out their budgets and fix their levies with out consideration of what the other levying groups are doing. Each group takes its bite out of the individual taxpayer, and if one happens to take an unusually big bite, no one else thinks of taking a smaller one to offset it What is now proposed is that through a central or ganization of all tax levying groups, a complete picture of the entire local public finance problem may be ob tained by all of them. They will then be in a position to give and take, between them, cushioning the blows for the taxpayer. Taxation peaks can be leveled off. When the demands of one levying body are particularly, heavy, someone else can lay . off a little. A great deal of good could come of this. It might be adopted elsewhere. It is proposed as a wartime measure, for, as Judge Reeder says, the federal govern ment is going to get every dollar available and local gov ernment is going to have to get along as best it can. But this plan would be good any time. We hope it receives the support it deserves. New Straightaway to the North THAT swell stretch of road from Terminal city north, that we have been looking at longingly these many months, is about ready to open. The war has stolen attention from this iirmortant piece of highway construction that puts more speed and more straightaway into a great highway already noted for its speed and its straightaways. Now the oil is going on, and by Labor Day, or shortly thereafter, " cars will spin directly across Wocus and Graham flats,, on an almost straight line from Terminal city to the foot of Algoma hill. As so often happens, this relocation places the high way alongside the railroad. Railroad engineers who laid out those lines must get satisfaction, if they are still alive, in seeing the highways which once went elsewhere come sneaking over and lying down beside the rails. It has happened often enough to be significant. Tough Customers A MAN who knows what he is talking about, America's Ambassador Grew, says the Japanese are ready to make all possible sacrifices and to fight to the bitter end of this war. We might as well face the realization of the kind of adversary we have across the Pacific. ;He is tough, and he can take it. He can take it, we imagine, better than the Germans. There is a widely hejd suspicion that the Germans are great winners but not so good when things don't go well for them. History seems to bear that out. , It is possibly not too much to hope that the Germans, after a few serious reverses, would begin to fold up. But not the little yellow man. His whole racial psychology pdints in another direction. His determination not to lose face means a last ditch suicidal fight before he will ac cept the humiliation of defeat. Well, that is what we face, and let it be so. We may be slow m starting, we may need some reverses to toughen us, but eventually this country will rise in its strength and give the Japanese that last ditch, suicidal fight.

I It Is " astonishing that th Japs, with all their artillery and planes, chose to withdraw from Chuhtien. the largest air field In China the one we can now use to bomb Tokyo. The Chinese naturally claim a victory at that point, but their announcements make it clear to I'" ""I th, nrartiuH eye that the Japs failed to confront them with formidable forces, and Tok yo claims th retreat was a planned with drawal. What then makes this field Paul Mallon so desirable to the Japs last May that they started a New Guinea cam paign now not worth fighting for? Only one explanation seems plausible. The Japs must believe we will shortly get airfields which are even closer to Japan. They must b intending to attsck Russia, and open a new theater of oper ations for themselves and for us. They must be withdrawing from China to strengthen their forces on the Russian border. Their only successful general, Yamashita, is supposed to be In Manchuria now, looking over the ground. While it may seem to be a little late in the year for major operations so far north, the Jap invasion of Manchukuo was started in the seame season (Sept. 18, 1931) and fighting con tinued through much of the win ter. TOES CRUSHED All signs add up to the con clusion that the Japs must try a big new major blow somewhere if they have a blow left in them. The toe of their advance In the south seas have been crushed. In New Guinea, General Mac- Arthur worked a tickler trick on them. Several weeks ago, when all the news-men around his headquarters were moaning in anguish, because he had not been furnished with power to do anything, MacArthur was even then building hospitals and bases to support the attack, which his secreted Australian troorjers de livered with devastating surprise upon Milne bay, as soon as the Japs occupied it last week. Tokyo tee-heed in triumph at MacArthur' professed anguish, but his purpose became painfully plain to them when the Aussie came out of. hiding and anni hilated their Milne forces. It was the first engagement of th Australian troopers under Mac Arthur, and they convinced au thorities around here that they hive the same thing our men have the will to win. Anyone who knows Mac Arthur' style could tell that he was the personal author of that long official communique Issued Sunday night, giving a full ac count of the Solomon island fray. He might as well have signed it, so clearly, did It betray his char- The 1 Ex: .. w HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SIDE GLANCES &s5i V & i .sir rrv'" HWlltllW WtWCt. Iftt.U MC. tr. .

JAPS FAILED The first engagement (August 7 to 10) previously has been described in this column.' In the second fight (August 23) the Japs mustered every available vessel they had in that part of the world. Some came from Ra beul, others from nearby bases. Mr. Roosevelt once Idly called the resultant attack , only a "reconnaissance" in force, but th navy department announced the Japs had transport with them, and no one goes recon noitring with troops.- In fact, MacArthur disclosed a force of 900 was landed on Guadalcanal island, and all of it met, death or capture. ' This was clearly an effort by the Jap to recapture the southern Solomons, and it fail ed, because our bombers knock ed out their only two aircraft carrier. The Japs could not proceed without airpower, had to withdraw, leaving us in un disputed, control. Any Pacific map will show you our lines of supplies to Australia have been cleared by wis Solomons success. Other Jap airbases are too far back from the steamship routes to do much damage. Coupled with the Jsp loss of Milne bay, the Solomons success alto makes impossible the in vasion of Australia on the pop ulous eastern side. The Japs will have to get New Guinea, or the Solomons, or both, for bases, before invasion can be Wisdom of Solomon 1 -szvssifmzmzf .,.-rWA "in ,t. or. attempted hereafter through the Coral sea. FACE-SAVERS Guiding principle of the Jap anese is face-saving. Even the Tokyo broadcasters can see that some of it is required by the loe-cruncning tney nave re ceived. Authorities, who have the South seas area particularly in mind, suspect the Japs will try to muster a larger naval in vasion force, and go back Into the Solomons and New Guinea. Their second Solomons attack, however, showed they have lit tle naval strength available in that quarter. . They are particularly short of aircraft carriers, since we blast ed most of this Jap category oui 01 we water at Midway, They cannot invade without car riers, and when they come back next they will meet our land based bombing planes from that excellent field on Guadalcanal.
