For seven years, Randall man aged the Klamath airport, and flew on and off of Its short, graveled runways scores if not hundreds of times. It was a thrill for him when he brought tha navv nlane down the other kijday on one of the broad, paved W I Bill Randall runways that have transformed the Klamath port from a country field to a large, modern landing facility. He liked what he saw In the place where he had pioneered aviation activity. . It is gratifying, too, that the Klamath field Is being extensively used. The CAA pilot train ing program which has been carried on at tha field here for many months is making a dis tinct contribution to the war effort, second only . to actual military activity. As to the latter, the city has had a rather puzzling experience with the army in con nection with the proposed lease by the army of the field here. The city months ago signed one lease, but It was never actually executed by the army. More recently, another, revised lease agreement was provided by the military author ities, and the city signed it up. This one has not yet been executed by the army. In the long view, however, Klamath has bene fited greatly by the stimulation of airport con struction which came with the war, and regard less of military activity, there is good reason to expect notable commercial use of the field here in the future. Installation of a radio beam through here, now in progress, gives a hint as to what to hope along that line. If aviation of the future turns out to be just half of what Is popularly predicted for it, Klamath Falls would be In a bad way without a good airport. The substantial progress that has been made In recent years must be gratify ing to such pioneers as Gus Krause, local lum berman whose interest in aviation development dates tar back to the beginnings, and who is still contributing much time and effort to this project for his home community. .-..a)..- State Flower AE HAVE never been particularly Interested W to the subject of the Oregon state flower, but we have always understood that the Oregon grape enjoys that distinction. In his Washing ton column appearing to some Oregon papers last week, John W. Kelly mentioned the golden rod as the Oregon state flower. That sent us to the 'source books the Oregon blue book and the World almanac and both confirm our original belief. It is the Oregon grape, desig nated as such by senate concurrent resolution No. 4 of the legislative assembly of 1899. The state song Is "Oregon, My Oregon," and the state tree is the Douglas fir. There appears to be some little question about the state motto. The words, "The Union" appear on the state seal and are accepted by most authorities as the state motto, according to the blue book. "Alls Volat Propriis" (she flies with her own wings) was the territorial motto and was generally accepted as the state motto for many years. We prefer It to "The Union." Just passing along the information we en countered to checking on that state flower business. , In the review of day-by-day happenings ap pearing to this paper at the end of the year, mention was made of the theft of the Klamath agency safe. Our good friend, Superintendent B. G. Courtright of the agency, reminds us that the stolen safe was not the Klamath Indian agency safe, but the Klamath Agency postoffice safe, the postoffice being at Elliott's store. This notation is to correct any mis-impressions which may have been left by the item. News Behind the News WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 The New Deal la over, but no one seems to know It yet.

It may take a long time for those election results to work out in govern mental action, but It Is not too much to expect that the end of an era is nigh. The removal of Leon Hender son and the unsuccessful rttfnrix which Mr. Roosevelt made a few weeks ago to revise his cabinet, were but the first steps to- 4 If Paul Mallon ward a political reorganization and readjust ment of the government to popular electoral opinion. The situation calls for stronger and further steps along the same line, and Mr. Roosevelt will no doubt take them, for that has been his way. ' Meanwhile, this critical congress will Institute numerous committee Investigations of various phases of the war effort and Its local political side-shows. Waste of money is likely to be exposed to certain quarters as well as incom petency. Whatever part of the administration house that Mr. Roosevelt does not clean, con gress certainly will. New Deal Infiltration The various economic-war bureaus, however, have been so thoroughly infiltrated by the bright young men of New Deal mien that a change at the top (Brown for Henderson, for instance) will make no difference. Even ex Justice Jimmie Byrnes, In his new economic control organization, is virtually surrounded by this type. Three of his top four advisers are Ben Cohen, of the old Cohen-Corcoran team of hot test New Dealers; Justice Felix Frankfurter's secretary, Edward F. Prlchard, and Sam Lubell. These are the men who make the decisions that are issued under the name of the top man, and contrive the various regulations which give the organization its real tone and character. In fact, some political leaders say a tabulation of Frankfurter employees, to the government (one has never been made) would show that the graduates of his school of thought, control the key positions to all the important govern. ment economic bureaus. con." 1 r a atitrea, wcTV. wto. o. a.

Years were required to get them to one by one, and it may taJte just as long to get them out. Certainly, me arena 01 au Washington atialrs Is now against them. This does not necessarily mean Mr. Roose velt will abandon new notions for further econ omic change. It does mean that none of them will have a chance of getting through this com ing congress during the next two years. wiille the roll call will show a majority of democrats, most of the democrats are more bitter over the reform elements to the ad' ministration than are the republicans, and the real anti-New Deal majority in congress will run about 5 to 1. One strong New-Deal senator, for Instance, is prophesying to the coat room that. Senator Harry Byrd, of Virginia, will be the real leader this session and that Leader' Barkley will be come a nonentity. In fact, he Is urging Barkley to anticipate the prospect and pack the steering committee of We senate with New Dealers to nullify the anu-ttew Dealers. Hots Will Come Off A sstkong reform tax plan Is supposed to nave been worked up by the fancy econ omic dancers of the treasury, which revives the old spending tax and may couple with it a proposal to freeze capital, wnicn will cer tainly yank lot of hats off in tne nation if M r. Roosevelt goes through with it. The president is known to have long been thinking along the line of freez ing capital. Such a refrigeration would require all business to run on current investment and Harry Byrd -Real Leader? prevent it from expanding or selling its stocks and bonds. The election results may cause the president to postpone such a recommendation, but cer tainly a new mis-named "spending tax" plan to tax tne amount of money which everyone has left after paying his cost-of-living expenses, will be offered by the treasury. The old formula for this, which was recom mended by the treasury last session, was absurd and laughed out of the house ways and means committee, but a new way of getting at the same Idea will now be presented. 'if , 1 V . I IT WILL be defeated. So will the president's recommendation for a $29,000 limit on In come, and congress may find a way to force Mr. Byrnes to abandon the $25,000 limitation on salary which the Pnchard-Cohen advisers put into law by executive order. It Is likely that ceiling prices will be allowed to continue to rise under congressional pres sure, and that the farm bloc will continue to harass and embarrass the administration's anti inflation program. Go to Jail, and Beat the High Cost of Eating Meals Here's a new way to beat the high cost of living. ' A young man, who Is now re laxing in the county jail, was called into Justice Mahoney's court on a charge of having no tall light on his automobile trailer. The justice about to suspend the customary sentence If the light was repaired Imme diately checked further, and discovered that the automobile was being operated with void foreign license plates. On second thought, he asked for an operator's license. There was none. He set the fine at $5.50 plus a new tail light and new license, but payment was not forthcoming. "You'll have to spend three days In Jail, If you don't pay up," Mahoney reminded. "That's fine with me," was the reply. "I have three days off work, and this way I'll get free meal. If I pay the fine I won't eat." He was committed, and now the justice wonders how he knew the sentence would be ex actly three days. Shortages and prices mean that housewives are doing less baking but using Just as much dough. f. ..

P. depot, and the scenes that I have witnessed to night have made me very humble and very proud that I AM AN AMERICAN. Trains were arriving and leav ing every few minutes, the waiting rooms and platforms were crowded with soldiers and sailors and their loved ones, the heart beat of America could be felt there, mothers, wives, and sweethearts, emotions were plainly written on their faces. some were dry eyed in their agony of farewell, which they knew might be forever, others wept unashamedly. A train left for Klamath while I was wait ing, and , it made me homesick, and wish that my job was done here so I too could come home Another was the one that was taking my son away, but there were many other peoples sons leaving on it too and I didn't feel so lonely, as I otherwise might have. The well-to-do and the poor were all mingling to unison, all swayed by the same feeling and impulses. Then there was an other group, some on crutches, with an empty pants leg or sleeve pinned up, others pale and emaciated, just out of tne hospitals, and many whose bodies were whole but with lines on their faces, that were never put there by any peace time pursuit. But not a single one of them was feeling sorry for himself, or wanted sym pathy. They were great, and they were AMERICANS. These soldiers and sailors of ours are a cocky lot. 1 have wondered if they would be so cocky if they knew what they were going into. I got my answer not long ago. On my way home from work I pass junction of street that lead to the Alameda naval air base, Most always there are sailors waiting for a ride, to Oakland, and I always pick up as many as I can. One evening I picked up a sailor. I don't think he was more than 20. He was very pale, and he didn't have the snap in his movements he should have had. He didn't have much to say, but he told me he was on the Aircraft Car rier Wasp when it was sunk and that he was in the water 15 hours before he was picked up, and that he was just out of the hospital, and that he would soon be going back. asked him If he didn't dread going again. I shouldn't have asked such a question, and I was Instantly sorry that I had, but the answer was Instantane ous, "Hell - no, I want to." Folks, you can't beat men like that, and we at home can't let them down. I studied the faces of the trainmen, as they passed, es pecially the engineers. Some of them looked very tired, but there was a look of content ment on their faces that only come to those, who know that theirs is a job, and it is well done. The railroads of America are doing a great job, and doing it well. There Isn't any WPS boards, B8Z or QST telling them what to do. If all our various agencies of war production were doing as good a job as the railroads we would be much further on the road to victory than we are. And I think that the various agencies in Washington would do well to give the example set by the railroads serious study. The American people will not be laced Into a strait jacket. and any group that attemps to put them in one, is only com mitting political suicide. The American people will willingly put up with any hardship that they believe is necessary. The success of the railroads is due to teamwork between the workers and the management, ana this teamwork was not brought about by any beaucrat io czar of some war board, nor can it be brought about by such. Folks, we at home have a job to do. In fact, we have got to see that our soldiers and sail ors have everything that is pos sible for their comfort and wel fare. We can't give them enough. We have men In power so blind ed by ambition, and their lust for power that they have for got the Ideals learned at their mothers' knees, and the things American. We must curb them and see to It that when the war is over our boys come back to as good an America as they left, or better. Folks, it is great to be an AMERICAN. W. Yeoman.
