Important Principles Approved
A PRINCIPLE involved in the state school tax bill, which
was passed by the voters last week, is the same as
one which prevails under the county unit school system
the distribution of money to schools in accordance with
As all know, Klamath county, outside of Klamath
Falls, is one big school district. A school tax covers the
entire district and the money derived therefrom is then
spent as the school authorities deem best to serve the
needs of each community. Under the old system, which
still prevails in most counties, the county was divided
into small districts, some with small valuations and some
with large, and the money available for each community
had little or nothing to do with the number of students
there and the educational need. This results in gross
inequities. .
The new school bill, while imperfect and possibly
defective in some particulars, is an advancement of this
principle. State income tax money above $7,750,000 is
to be distributed to school districts on the basis of their
attendance, which is a measure of their load and require
ments. Districts with heavier burdens will receive more
money.
Another principle, which no doubt helped attract
votes to the measure, is that which calls for a heavier
contribution to school financing from sources other than
real property taxpayers. Many new families are moving
into Oregon for defense work and other purposes, re
ceiving high wages and sending children to school. These
families live in rental property, on which rent ceilings
have been placed. They thus contribute no real property
taxes to the support of the schools their children attend.
But if they pay income taxes, as they will, and income
taxes go to schools as provided in the new bill, they will
be contributing to school support. ,
Passage of the school bill is an indication of public ap
proval of more equitable division of school money and
of getting the money on a broader basis, so that all who
benefit will contribute.

Dewey for the New York gover
norship was somewhat like Mr.
Roosevelt's endorsement of Ben
nett only even longer delayed.
Both the president and the
leader of the
republicans (in
name, at least)
know how to
swallow un
wanted medi
cine with con
summate ease.
But both have
done it better
than they did
this time, and
Paul Mallon the results are
likely to have important effects
upon the rising question of the
presidential nominations In 1944.
The Dewey people have let no
one around the republican coun
cil table here suspect they con-
Saer ro, Tfmitrc an wary, mntit
er Dewey nor Willkie has any
close connections among repub
licans in either house of con
gress, but their prevailing con
tacts are sufficient to dispel any
expectation here of joint Willkie-
Dewey leadership.
In fact, the most clearsighted
of republican politlcos doubt
that either of these most dis-
cussed candidates will be at the
top of the roll call at the next
republican national convention,
Dewey has followed a course
so far of a lone ranger in repub
lican politics. Unless he builds
up controlling contacts with the
republican state machines, which
will rise up under the adminis
tration of the 22 republican gov
ernors in the most populous
states, his position in the party
cannot be dominant. And, of
course, his administration a gov
ernor wui largely make or break
his popular national appeal.
Neither could get the nomina
tion on the basis of his standing
with the organization today.
PREMATURE JUDGMENT
The fourth term question is In
even a more doubtful state. The
Roosevelt endorsement of Ben
nett was not soon enough or
strong enough to win back Far
ley, who now controls the New
York state democratic organize
tion, and who can expect to gO
to the next convention as its dele
gation leader.
Inasmuch as Mr., Farley dis
liked the third term enough to
resign, he will dislike the fourth
at least 25 per cent more.
Southern congressmen already
are grumbling about fourth term
talk. They think it hurt the
party in the election, and that if
any moves are made further in
that direction, they will suffer
further.
As of today, therefore, Mr.
Roosevelt would have far more
trouble getting the nomination
than he had at Chicago, although
no specific challenger is vet in
sight.
But if we win the war next
year, the situation' may change.
The president no doubt would

gain heroic prestige from vic

have quietly smiled away the
results of this election, in antici
pation ef a victorious turn of
events before their next roll call
with the people.
Therefore, an attempt to judge
either race, is premature. Com
ing events will decide.
MORAL EFFECT
There is not much the repub
licans will be able to do about
war methods immediately ex
cept to let the moral effect of
their victory sink in upon the
administration leaders.
Most of the important econom
ic legislation already has been
adopted (taxes, antl-lnflatlon,
the war powers act, passing un
precedented authority to the
president.)
Manpower draft is about the
only outstanding issue yet sched
uled for consideration after the
first of the year.
Most of the war appropriations
already have been made, but a
new budget will be offered, upon
wmcn tne republicans will have
an opportunity to whittle. .
Investigations will no doubt
be made by congressional com
mittees to keep the administra
tion in line.
VETO PREDICTED
The 18-19 year-old draft will
be out of the way in a few days.
No doubt it will be adopted with
out the senate restriction requir
ing training of troops for a year
before being sent overseas, be
cause the war department will
insist. War authorities have al
ready let the congressmen know
Mr. Roosevelt will veto the bill
if that amendment is not made
suitable.

chamber and found that five
senators, who were up for re
election, are now . ready to

A Kid From Utah Air
Force Maior at 22
Calls
By ALFRED WALL
LONDON, Nov. 0 fD "I'm
In favor of lt. The sooner the
better."
' That's the succinct opinion on
the second front expressed by
"Pete" Peterson of Santa Quln,
Utah.
If you .re wondering what
right a tall, slim, yellow-halrcd
Amorlc.n kid Pete's only 22
has to be discussing the pros and
cons of such an Important ques
tion, let mo add that to the U. S.
army air forces, ho's Major Chrs
ley Gordon Peterson, executive
operational officer of the fourth
fighter group the former fa
mous Eagle Squadron of the
RAF.
In Rang
As to how and where th. In
vasion should be attempted, this
incredibly youthful major, who
speaks with the weight of more
combat experience than any oth
er Am.rlcan fighter pilot In the
European theatre, Is a bit cagy.
"I've just one personal con
viction," he said, "that Is, It
must be within fighter range of
om oases in BTitam. Our right
ing range Is about 100 mlloa. I
think we th. RAF and the
USAAF can provide the neces
sary fighter umbrella.
110 Trips Across
"Men with more knowledge
about these things than I will
have to decide when tho United
Nations are prepared for this big
show. All I know Is, we've got
to get this job done."
On. hundred and ten times
Pete has tooled his Spitflro
across the channel to challenge
the Luftwaffe. For nearly a year
he led the first Eagle squadron.
He Is recognized as the outstand
ing product of the Eagles, both In
leadership and fighting ability.
He has shot down at loost six
German planes In combat, dam
aged many more. The British
gave htm the DFC nearly a year
ago. He won the distinguished
service order for gallantry In
the Dieppe raid In which ho him
self was shot down and rescued.
Dogfight Spread
"Now that Dieppe raid." solilo
quized Pete, "wos- some show.
It gave me a busy morning.
On our third trip over Jerry
really was on the Job.
"We lit Into a wholo flock of
them. The dogfight spread all
over the sky. I took out after
a Junkers 88.
"I got on his tall, got him In
my sights and pressed the old
buttons. I saw cannon shells
and machine-gun tracers go In
to him.
"Finally he turned over slow
ly on his back and plunged into
the sea with a burst of flame,
smoke and steam.
Tumbled Out
"But his tallgunncr got mo as
he was turning over. I felt
heavy stuff hitting the nose of
my Spitfire. The engine revolu
tions decreased. Next thing I
knew my engine was smoking
and getting hotter and hotter
Then I saw some flMmos coming
out of the englno and 1 said, 'boy,
you get out of this airplane
"So I tumbled out. Pretty soon
the parachute gave a Jerk and
there I was floating down peace
fully as anything. I heard my
plane hit the drink with a hell
of an explosion. .
I inflated my ' trick dinghy
and sat there bobbing on the
waves. A British motor launch
came buzzing over and In 15
minutes, I was on board."
Nasi Gaps
Asked whether, in the light
of his many sweeps over the
channel coast, he had formed
any Idea of how strong the Ger
man defenses are Pete would
only soy:
I don t think the Germans
have anything like an lmnen.

honestly soy that we believe hl
opponent Is well-qualified ancU
will do a fin. job for the dis
trict. There is nothing as Inevitable
In politics as some day being re
placed by a younger man and In
this enjo the choice was well
founded. We believe that tho general
upset throughout the country to
a considerable extent was due to
tho protest of the American peo
plo concerning the conduct of th.
war. When It Is remembered that
such outstanding men as Norrls
were also beaten, Pierce's defeat
Is more understandable.
The defeat was more Ironic In
tho fact that Congressman Plcrc.
has consistently supported th.
war effort of the country. He
was for total defense long before
Pearl Harbor. It is l.onlc that
many men who fought the do-
fenso effort, which would have

We believe Pierce has hnen
