It Is a logical development, and con stitutes a recognition of the It " Jv J advantages this city has to of F, i P fer both public and private agencies as mo sue iur uuimu istrative headquarters for an important segment of the Paci fic coast. Here is a good community enterprise for the future. It goes along with the movement to make Klam ath Fall the distribution center for this same ana. It is an opportunity for community develop ment that has not thus far been extensively exploited, but more attention may and should be paid to it in the future. The OPA office will employ a personnel of about 50, and will carry an annual payroll of approximately $100,000. It is, of course, a wartime activity, but the operation of such a headquarters here should serve to focus atten tion upon the advantages offered by this com munity for further developments along this line in both public and private fields even after the war. Our Sustaining Resources IT IS no reflection on the character or even the aggressiveness of the people here to say that Klamath Falls has not proved itself, thus far, notably adept at landing government ac tivities such as the OPA district office which is to be located here immediately. It is true that certain governmental agencies have located Important offices here, but usually in such cases the location was done without a great deal of local pressure. But, in spite of the fact that Klamath Falls is in many ways the logical site for regional administrative headquarters, it has been by passed by some of the agencies establishing such activities. This has indicated, at least, that we have not been quite as proficient at the game of landing government offices as some other communities. But, as we have said, this is no reflection upon the people here, and it further illustrates the adequacy and potentialities of our natural ' resources. . Klamath Falls has not needed the artificial stimulation of government activities to sustain its population and prosperity. Even in war time, we have discovered that industrial and agricultural activities, developed here in peace time, continue at an accelerated pace to keep Klamath Falls in the picture as an active, busy community. Contrast that with the situa tion of a nearby city, one of whose residents told us a year ago that he feared grass would grow in the streets in war time unless the city landed a military installation. y- r ' Paul Mallon By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 A terse personal interpretation of the rising "psychologi cal political revolution" in the south was pub lished recently in this spot, at tributing the condition to the experiences of individual citi zens with centralized Washing ton bureaucratic controls, and predicting the south would go republican if the republicans offered a satisfactory alterna tive to the existing democratic regime. The reaction is a story in itself. The outspoken Charleston, South Carolina, News and Courier, whose editor, Colonel William Ball, is as much a part of the south as the soil Itself, said: "In one brief trip of three weeks, Paul Mallon has learned more about the south than bureaucratic Washington knows or will ever know." Mayor Hartsfield, of Atlanta, wrote: "You are eminently correct." An Oklahoman said one of his farmers came out of a rationing board and delivered a speech on a street corner announcing he had never voted any other way than democratic, but would never do so again. A Florida business man: "I am a democrat, at least I was born in Georgia and all white Georgians are democrats, just like being born with two legs, but I hope you are correct in your judgment that the people will take appropriate steps to remedy the situation.' A Louisiana attorney sent the article to Re publican Leaders McNary and Martin with a letter recommending it as "the very best brief pen sketch of conditions throughout the south,' and asking republicans to cooperate "with de cent, sane democratic congressmen from the south and west." A Mississippi cotton mill owner: . "We do not like the policies used in Chicago last time,' nor that of the republican convention. We shall.' wait until the candidates are named, then we will hold our (southern) convention and indorse that candidate who more nearly appears likely to carry on this United States in the-way the founders intended it should operate- with three branches of government.", A Virginia retail grocer: "You are, 100 per cent correct. I am writing our congressmen urging them to cooperate with the republicans." An Alabama attorney: "The revolt is against bureaucratic govern ment, because of fear.' -V . .

If ypu will ask your selves one question as regards every one of thorn, and then do the studying investigation and thinking that Is required to find the answer to that question, you will learn the real truth about thoso organizations and Individ uals. The question you must ask and seek truthful answer to Is: Whcro is their money coming from? O. O. WOMACK. Yvtitwdeuis fe;;!T!!:!! T'"v!;.j;i;:i, Sri: From the tiles 40 years 'i.v . ia ,u: ! For the Future IN THE organization of regional set-ups, such as that now being established by OPA, Klam ath Falls has definite advantages to offer, with out using the argument that it has to have government activities in order to survive. It is the transportation hub of a great territory of Northern California and Southern Oregon. It is a city with well-developed housing and business structures. It is able to absorb and provide facilities for governmental offices and staffs, and it has ample room for expansion. It occupies a central location between the big metropolitan areas to the south and the north, and on main highway and rail lines between them. In pressing these advantages, Klamath people need not confine their interest to public agencies. Regional set-ups for large private industrial and commercial organizations would be equally well served and for the same rea sons. If the Pacific coast is to develop in the war and post-war periods along the lines now widely predicted, Klamath's central location, transportation facilities and other advantages may well bring it an Increasingly prominent place as an administrative center. prove convincingly that my alarming analysis, of the situation was in no wise over drawn. Obviously then, something must be done about it. Not, in connection with my article, the pow erful New Orleans Item has editorially recom mended a course of action. It denounces "south ern sentimental servitude to a party label," but rightly says new parties are difficult to organize under our system and can never be successful. It recommends that the republicans change the, name of their party, to gather in this south ern bloc of states, which is anxious to find a place to go. For the present, it suggests: "Why should intelligent southerners in con gress not align themselves with westerners dis satisfied with the course of events and both join the republicans who do not like a lot of the New Deal, in a determined combination to get a better balance of the national economy between all the regions that constitute the country?" This course will no doubt develop into legis lative action during this new session of congress. But as to how far it will constructively remedy . the condition complained of cannot now be guessed. It is more likely to take the extreme form of forcing up farm prices in a selfish, sectional way and only attend to the bureaucrats and centralized governmental controls as a second ary matter. If the combination of southern and western legislators is not wisely led, it could concern Itself too much with cotton prices on the one hand and corn-wheat prices on the other, and materially injure the administration's remain ing mechanical structure for the control of Inflation. It could force Inflation. Head of Family Exemption A single person; or a married person not living with husband or wife, is entitled to a personal exemption of $1200 for the year If he can qualify as head of a family. A head of family is "an individual who actually sup ports and maintains in one household one or more individ uals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage or by adoption, and whose right to ex ercise family control and provide for these dependent Individuals is based upon some moral or le gal obligation." Examples of head of family status would be a widower or widow who maintained a home for a dependent child, or a son who supported and maintained a household for a dependent fath er or mother. In order to meet the test of actual support and maintenance as head of a family, the benefactor must furnish more than one-half of the support and maintenance. . The term "in one household" ordinarily means under one roof, but if a father is absent on busi ness or a child or other depend ent is away at school, or on a visit, the common home being still maintained, the head of fam ily exemption would still apply. Where a parent is obliged to maintain his dependent children with relatives or in a boarding house while he lives elsewhere, the additional exemption may still apply. If, however, without necessity, the dependent continu ously makes his home elsewhere, his benefactor is not the head of a family irrespective of the ques tion of support. The term "closely connected by blood relationship" applies to a person's progenitors and lineal descendants, to his brothers or sisters, whether by the whole or half blood, and to his uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces. Irre- I spective of any legal obligation of the taxpayer to support such dependent relatives, a moral ob ligation to do so exists, and if the individual is actually sup porting and maintaining in one household relatives of this de gree he is entitled to head of family exemption. A taxpayer is considere'd to be "closely connected by mar riage" with his step-sisters and step-brothers, but whether his right to exercise family control and provide for these Individuals is based upon some moral or le gal obligation must be decided upon the facts in the particular case. The same considerations apply to the status of a taxpay er because of support furnished to his father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-ln-law. First cousins by blood, and cousins of lesser degree, are not regarded as so "closely connect ed by blood relationship" as to give rise to a head of family ex emption. A legal guardian who may maintain and support in his home a dependent ward is not entitled to the personal exemp tion as head of a family if the ward was not connected with him by relationship of blood, marriage, or adoption; nor Is a taxpayer entitled to exemption as head of a family by virtue of maintenance end support of a child not legally adopted.

The action was not taken without serious discussion, which was proper. The board's decision was in keeping with a local determination to do everything possible as a contribution to the war effort. A French' aviator, after machine gunning an Italian garrison of 140, dropped a note threat ening to open fire with a cannon (which he didn't have) unless they surrendered. , The Italians surrendered. That note carried an R.S.V.P. that got results, "v,,.,." . . .v.. : The Weather man won't give us the tem perature readings for 24 hours. But he can't keep us from cussing.

A change of tone down through the adminis tration not alone in the cabinet and high bureaucratic positions would go far toward ameliorating the condition. Indeed, such a course is demanded also by the new political line-up in congress. The states and districts lost in the last election were mostly those of previous strong New Deal tendencies. The democratic party suffered a sharp trimming of its New Deal legislative representation, leaving the southerners in great er power than ever. In legislative effect; the south had already gained control of the partyi Therefore,, it is in a position to direct Mr. Roosevelt, if its leaders choose to" assert themselves. Straightfor ward action of this character would certainly bring quicker relief than a rampant new farm bloc coalition.

He sent a copy of my column to the former democratic na tional chairman, James A. Far ley, urging him to organize a Dixie democratic party behind the leadership of Senator Harry Byrd, of Virginia. Certainly Senator Byrd seems to represent the quiet but per sistent political emotions of the south at this time better than any other public man, and lead ership Is likely to devolve upon him, legislatively now, and per haps politically later.
