Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
BY Monday night, city councilmen will b well
advised that the city's proposed dog ordln
nice Is too drastic. Letters on this page today
, . art Indicative of the feeling
: of a great many people on this
subject, and there probably
j will' be considerable showing
X? 1nnH. tVl com tfnA t thft
i J" i 4 council meeting.
IVS ? In this column Monday, we
' suggested 60 days as a reason
able period In which dogs
'- & P i should be kept up for the
oSeVjsJ. of dogs which might be in
EPLEY t danger from victory 'garden
ers. Sixty or ninety days is Jong enough.
Six months is out of . reason, if dogs are to
be kept in the city at all. And certainly it is
not necessary to prohibit dogs from Klamath
Falls. ".
There are two sides to the question, and there
should be give and take in solving it. A good
suggestion appears in' one of today's letters
that victory gardeners, ' when possible, should
protect their . gardens with fences. But that
does not eliminate the necessity of some form
of dog control, for it will not be feasible to
fence all gardens and dogs -also damage flowers
and shrubs on uhfenced-residential property.
The council will probably effect some reason
able compromise.
Feline Offenders
KILLING dogs in the parks Is also pretty
drastic proposal, and it would seem that
some other method could be devised to solve
this problem.
A friend told us today that cats are greater
nuisance than dogs insofar as damage to wild
life is concerned.
One' reason for the prevalance of cats in near
by areas is that local people have a way of
dumping unwanted cats on the open highways.
The cats quickly go wild and become damaging
marauders. Several former domestic cats are
reported running wild in the Greensprings coun
try; one farmer we know killed nine cats in a
short period after pheasants were liberated on
his property south of town; feline marauders
are reported busy in the Lakeshore district.
Dogs are currently under fire, but cats, it
seems, are in some respects greater offenders.
Juvenile Problem
JUVENILE authorities liere are frankly Wor
ried about the1 girls of tedder age who
have been showing up at dances which are
largely attended by service men.
Several girls of not more than 12 years of
age were recently sent home from such a dance.
The parents of these children have no busi
ness permitting them out at night unescorted.
Klamath Falls' famed hospitality to visiting
service men does not require their presence,
and those in charge of this program, or the
juvenile authorities, should not be expected to
raise these, children for negligent parents.
The city has a curfew ordinance which applies '
to all youngsters under 18, prohibiting them
from being out at night unescorted by adults.
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLOW
WASHINGTON, March B The politicians
are dusting off a new brand of goods
called the, Beverldge social security plan.
Sir William Beverldge is
w i tr 1 comin8 to this country shortly
talking to some of our meet
ings on transoceanic - telephone.
i ;?sr JH f lne Jionaon press and radio
VT'K.&l rePorters handled the recent
debate in parliament on the
i I fn subject as if this plan was to
fc4.1 answer man's historic longing
MALLON saieiy in me. me state
was to care for all ' his ills,
from cradle to the grave, providing disability
allowances, medical, and maternity benefits.
Anyone who was against the idea was just an
eld Tory.
All right thinkers, with the interest of the
common people at heart, were for it. That Is
4 4.
the picture with which we, are presented.
What nobody pointed out was that the aver
age disability allowance for a man and wife
under this Beverldge panacea was $8.08 a
week. This is hardly enough to keep body and
soul alive. Certainly it is not social security.
It is just a pleasant standard guard against
starvation, and hardly justifies the Idealistic
advertising that accompanies it.
The American system has provided a similar
pittance-trf $22.94 a month average payment
for old age benefits, and $13 a week for unem
ployment insurance.
Sly Method
WHILE all people have paid Into the fund,
very few people have benefited. Our
experience with social security to date has
shown It to be mainly a sly method of collect
ing more taxes.
The two funds in the treasury have collected
$7,000,000,000 more to date than they have paid
out, but this $7,000,000,000 can hardly be called
a fund because it merely represents a debt of
the treasury to itself, as the money has been
spent on regular government running expenses.
It Is doubtful if many people. will ever bene
fit, If this government otherwise provides thelr
llves with a decent living standard. The aver
age good worker will never be out of a job In
his life, or should not be. There was never a
time in the worst depression when more than
one-fifth of the workers were out of jobs.
And if the worker is thus provided with a
decent living standard, he can make better pro
visions himself for his old age than the govern
ment offers him with its $22.94 a month to
live on.
It is evident, therefore, that real social secur
ity calls for something bigger than Beveridge
plans. Far more Important for one Instance,
is the price level and the value of the dollar.
The $22.94 a month cure for old age fears,
was enacted some years ago with somewhat the
same glamor of publicity, prophesying a guar
antee of social security for all, at a time when
prices of food were just about half what they
are now.
A greater degree of social security would
have been offered If the government had kept
prices stable far more people would have ac
complished more security for themselves than
Is represented by these small benefit payments
to the few.
' '
Michigan Has a Plan
BUT then you may say:
Why not Increase the allowances and con
tinue to follow the path of Beveridge and our
own current social , security system?
They are trying to do that now in Michigan.
A proposal Is pending to have the state pay a
base average of $26 a week for unemployment,
plus $3 for each dependent, with a protective
maximum of $38 per week.
That suggests a decent living, but It also
suggests tremendous taxation on all the work
ers and employees to pay to the few who are
not good workers, or to those who will be
able to make more money staying Idle and
living off the government than by doing a day's
work.
Security is a goal man always has, sought and
never attained. He will never attain it because
it is not an absolute thing. There is no security
In nature.
No government or anyone else can guarantee
that you will not catch a disease tomorrow, for
instance. Uncertainty is an unavoidable factor
in human life.
To protect himself, man builds houses of
brick and stone, but to maintain these as se
curities against the weather, he must constantly
keep them up, mending, paying taxes on them,
buying fuel .to heat them. His fight to provide
himself, with security, therefore, is a continuous
struggle, which is never over.
It is not likely that man will ever devise a
means for completely overcoming the hazards
of life. Certainly the kind of security that the
political hucksters now are crying is a question
able method which has not performed the feats
claimed for it and can never do so.
Certainly also, governments can provide a
greater security to a greater number of people
by different means, such as maintaining a stable
value of the dollar, preventing inflationary price
and wage- Increases, and maintaining good busi
ness conditions which will, furnish continuous
employment. '..-'
The social security label on Mr. Beveridge's
and other current political canned goods does
not accurately describe the contents therein.

A PLEA FOR DOGS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) The writer of this
letter, on behalf of the kids of
Klamath Falls and on behalf of
himself as one of these kids
grown up, wishes to respectfully
protest against the passage of
the drastic dog ordinance which
the city council has under con
sideration at the present time.
It is neither humane nor prac
tical to keep a dog chained up
or locked up. It is not humane
because a dog chained up or
locked up becomes logy, sick
and cross. It is not practical be
cause it means at least one or
more howling dogs in every
neighborhood of the city. The
writer, for one, would not at
tempt to keep a dog if it has to
be confined in that way.,
I realize, of course, that thero
'are always two sides to be con
sidered In such matters, and it
may be that the time has come
when it will no longer be pos
sible to have a dog within the
city limits, but I trust that such
is not the case. That is a regi
mentation which is to be avoided
if possible. Every kid is entitled
to have his "Bob" or "Ring" or
"Trix." No bunch of kiddies
playing is complete without a
dog or two, and how cooperative
ly the dog joins in with their
play. Anything they want to do
is okay by the dog, which makes
for good fellowship. For gener
ations the kids have had this
companionship and with no seri
ous results to anyone.
This leads as to the Victory
garden side ot the question, and
we are strong for them. As a
matter .of fact, the first spading
for our 1943 garden has already
been done. With regard to dogs
and gardens and flowers, I real
ize, of course, that some are per
haps not as well located as we
are, but the writer for the past
20 years has enjoyed having one
of the largest vegetable gardens
within the city limits of Klam- j
afh Italic P'ni-thnrmrtT-n wa hatrn '
had at least our share of the
flowers and shrubs. We have
never been without a dog. He
has always had the complete
freedom of the premises, and I j
think I can safely say that we
have not lost a dollar's worth of I
garden truck in the 20-year pe-j
riod which could be charged up j
to the dog.
With regard to the flowers, he j
has occasionally lain in the flow- i
er beds, but by the use of a little j
chicken netting or a rock prop-
erly placed, we have remedied i
that., j
The much agitated question
can be solved by tolerance and i
fair play on both sides. Thej
writer, of course, Is prejudiced.
He cannot help but look back on
the days when he was a kid. We
are great for a popular vote In
this country and if we could
have a popular vote of the kids
of Klamath Falls on this ques
tion, there would be no doubt
about the outcome, The kids
can't vote but perhaps we should
consider their wishes whether
they can vote or not., -'
Respectfully yours,
FRED D. FLETCHER.
such a law why not go all out
and make it unlawful to awn a
dog. I would much rather dis
pose of my dog than to be so
cruel as to keep him penned
half his life. The small amount
of damage to gardens done by
dogs doesn't warrant in my est!-
nation, any such drastic nrtlnn.
If we are going to punish rings
for such action what about birds
and other wildlife?
As for shooting tings on sight
In Mooro park, I think thnt
would be vry unjust both to
the owner and the dogs. I don't
think the dogs should bo allowod
to run at large In I ho park but
I am sure some other plan call
ing for not so drnstio action
could be worked out.

MORE ABOUT DOGS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) This Idler Is Intend-,
ed for the council members and
the park egg protector.
My dog seldom vends signs,
seldom reads newspapers nud
hasn't rend a good book in years.
You might even suy ho was il
literate! Now, if ho could read
and could understand what you
gentlomen aro trying to do, I
have no doubt that he would
give you his full cooperation
about porks, victory gardens, etc.
I tried to explain to him that he
was being sentenced to six
months imprisonment or a chain
gang, with a death sentence
hanging over his head if he
should try to escape, but ho
only wagged his tall and thought
I was talking about going fish
ing. What I em getting at is that
the death penalty Is a pretty
severe and permanent measure
to be imposed on an innocent
creature. A fine against the
owner and a chance to recover
the family pet seems a llttlo
more fair.
I can't help feeling that the
war effort has very little to do
with this argument. It seems
to me that this hus been an an
nual spring battlo with dog lov
ers on one side and, In tha paat,
flower lovers on the other, NoWi
under tha guise of war necessity
llin dog owners are being TOLD
to build a fence around their
dog. 1 think it only fair that the
garden owners bo TOLD to build
a ft'iu'o around their gardens. It
costs Just as much for one as for
the other to build fences. Of
course we could carry that a
little farther and threaten the
garden owners tint all cabbages
lounri roaming tho streets with
out a license would be shot on
sight.
No, gentleman, this Is an old,
old wrunglu. I havon't paid
much attention to It In the past
except to chuckle over It. Some
how flowers bloomed, gardens
grew, dogs r on mod and dunpito
dark throats and mutterlngs,
people seemed to survive with
out any futnl ottucka of apo
plexy. Why, 1 have known some
furmers who raised a bunch of
pups, somo vegetables and two
or three kids all in the sumo gen
eral vicinity and scorned to
maintain a protly well bulancad
outlook on llfo In spite of It all.
The thing that roused me was
the brutal way In which the
death penalty was thrown In our
teeth. I DON'T LIKE IT and
neither do a lot of other folks
who are raising a garden and
keeping a dog tool
Sincerely,
DON NORLIN.
