of highway and liquor revenuea.
Ho anld the mraaurna will af

Vlaniuth Falla and aa your
tlayor, I wliih to alate my opin
ion of two bill that nro being
Introduced to the atate legis
lature. Tho properly taxpayer of the
State of Oregon paid nut more
money In aupport of clly and
county achool dlatrlcta during
041 than the property taxpay
er In any other atate except one,
and we city property taxpayer!
will continue to pay moro money
tor the aupport of city admlnla
fatlon unlcas we do aomethlug to
get relief from other revenuca,
Houae BUI 218
"The Hotiae Bill No. 2111,
termed "The Road Ucr Rev
emira" would give to cltlea of
the Stato of Oregon Id per cent
of the revenuca credited to the
State Highway fund, and only
In the event that auch revenues
equal $10,000,000 per year. The
amount given tho cltlea can be
taken only from any excess ovor
$10,000,000. Thla participation
of cltlea would not Interfere with
he highway fund which muat
pay fixed coata of program con-
miction, overhead, highway
maintenance, paymenta to conn
ilea, paymenta to atate police
fund, etc. I feel that our city 1
entitled, aa are other cltlea, to
aome of these highway revenues.
In the paat, one-third of gasoline
taxra were earned from travel
on city atrecta, paid for by pro
perty taxpayers, and as travel
declines on account of the war,
an Increaalng ratio of remaining
traffic la on city streets. It
seems only fair that funds earned
on them should be made avail
able tor tholr maintenance for
this traffic, ao that the big In
veatment we have In our streets
will not be dissipated. It ap
pears obvious thai unless this
relief can be had for the streets
of Klamath Falls It will be
necessary at some future time
o float a bond Issue for the re-
;ialr and maintenance of our
streets.
'The State of Washington
shares 13 per cent and California
hares what amounts to 21 per
cent to their cities and It Is rec
ognized that these two states
have as fine highways as any
slates In the nation. Some peo
ple have objected to using high
way funds on city streets as they
claim It was a "diversion" of
state funds. The "Good Roads
Amendment" to the Oregon
Constitution, adopted in 1042,
provide! that highway funds
shall be used for highways,
roads and streets. The highway
tommlsslon In 1041 stated thrt
they believed aome relief should
be afforded to cities and towns
through expenditure of funds de
rived from gasoline and motor
ehlcle taxes.
House BUI 213
"House Bill No. 213 termed
"The Liquor Trofits and Rev
enues," would cause the lucra
tive liquor control In Oregon to
pay Its own way rather than
throw tho cost of enforcement on
overburdened taxpayers of the
cities and counties. This bill
provides that 16 per cont of the
liquor profits and revenues,
aside from beer and wine license
fees, shall be paid to cilics on
a population basis. One of the
big costs to city and country tax
payers comes from police en
forcement of liquor abuses.
Formerly tho taxes on saloons
and liquor carried a large part
of this oxponse, but slnco pro
hibition all but negligible sums
have been taken by the stato
from liquor rovenucs and sales.
Thls bill further provides that
fundi the cities would receive
from liquor shall bo paid Into
police funds, and that these funds
must be Included in arriving at
tax revenues allownble under
the 6 per cent limitation amend
ment. This would assure pro
perty taxpayers of Immediate
relief.
"I offer the above information
In tho hopo that property tax
payers of tho city and county
will make an Immediate effort
at thla time to gain rollof from
high property taxes; and that if
they do favor this they will
writo Immediately to our legis
lators In Salem, asking for their
aupport of these measures. Many
thanks for your courtesy."

Carving in Park Is Work
Of Dr. Bush, Done in '17
By NELLIE HOSE JONES
Tho Lady of the Woods carv
ed in relief on a granite boulder
near the main highway, in
Crater Luke National park, is
tho work of Dr. Earl P. Bush,
Cincinnati, O., who with a group
of engineers, was employed In
tho park In the fall of. 1017.
Dr. Bush said ho carved the
statue between October 4 and
October 15 of that year. "It
took as many hours of labor
each day as my right arm would
tolerate," he wrolo. "Unfor
tunately 1 was compelled to
leave it uncompleted by reason
of the breaking up of tho en
gineer's camp, Tho lodge closed
weeks before, and a longer stay
in the mountains would have
been hazardous. Perhaps some
day I will be able to complete
the detail."
Dr. Bush adds, "If there Is
really merit In my work 1 am
glad, for this statue represents
my offering to tho finest, my In
terpretation of Its stillness and
repose, Its beauty, fascination
and unseen life. A deep love of
this virgin wilderness had fast
ened Itself upon mo and ro
mains today. It seemed that I
must leave something behind.
"I shall be satisfied to leave
my rather' feeble attempt at
sculptural expression alone and
unmarked for those who may
hnpiirn to see 11 and who may
find fond for thought along tho
lines which it arouses In them
individually."
Mrs. Lyle O. Mills of Klam
ath Falls, In the following poem
tells what feeling tho statue
aroused in her:
False, is It possible, you that I
trusted
These many years with my
heart and my soul,
It's like stabbing me through
with a knife that Is rusted.
It's hard to believe that your
love has grown old.
You were so warm, so sweet,
and so tender.
Yes, you wore all that a man
could ask,
And, although It Is hard, I'll
try not to remember.
I'll not bo a dreamer and live
in the past.
No, I will not pine with a heart
that is broken,
And long for a love that will
never return,
I'll listen to other vows spoken,
And watch other eyes with
love's passion burn,
For love la a passion that saints
havo called holy.
Love is a passion the angels call
true.
But I know for a fact, and no
ono has told me,
That love lasts forever with

Fi&htins Thru
Not for a good many years has Old Man Winter
tossed as manv punches as he has during the last
few weeks.
Almost every mile of railway operated by tht
Great Northern has been under simultaneous as
sault by wind, snow and bitter cold for days at a time.
These bouts with the Storm King are nothing
new to the men who keep the tracks open and run
the trains. They know all his tricks. But generally
the battle front is confined to one part of the rail'
road at a time, with Old Sol shining merrily on th
remainder of the right-of-way and giving delaved
trains an opportunity to make up lost time.
This winter came the blitskrleg. From one end
of the railroad to another, it was a continuous fight
to get the trains through trains carrying troops,
war materials, fuel, food and mall.
Schedules, to be sure, took bad beating. But
the trains kept going through. And behind that
simple fact were the maintenance forces, repair men,
train and engine crews, and division officials who
met every challenge of the heavy snows, the blasting
winds and the bitter cold.
Passengers' and shippers, for the most part, ac
cepted the fortunes of this battle on the winter
front with patience and good nature, And for this
friendly consideration, the Great Northern is sin
cerely grateful

STEEL SCARCITY
L
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (P)
The senate war investigating
committee declared today the
United Stales will produco bare
ly enough steel thia year "to aat
lafy the major war necessities,"
and Hated theae three factors as
responsible for "our current
steal shortage":
1. An underestimate by the
armed forces of the amount of
steel needed under war condi
tions. 2. "The desire of the big ateel
companies to prevent any expan
aion that might react unfavor
ably againat their control of the
ateel industry after the war "
3. Delay by the war produc
tion board in converting Indus
try to a war basis.
Stumbling Block
The committee declared, in an
interim report, that "the entire
steel scrap collection program
should be revamped."
"Steel, always the backbone
of America'i economy, is the
keystone of our war production,"
tho report said, "but it has come
very close t- being the stumbling
block.
Even though the United
States last year came within 3,-
000,000 tons of producing as
much ateel as all the rest of the
world, the report said, a short
age still exists.
