LIQUOR consumer hereabouts apparently
thought the rationing order meant the
aupply wa running low, and they have started
a run on the state store that has the help
fc . . down there Just about ex
hausted.
Fact of the matter is, there
are huge quantities of liquor
on hand here. Variety is not
what it used to be, but the
quantity is up there. The fel
low who fails to go down to
the store within the next 13
minutes will still get his when
he arrives.
Because of the scare, a lot
of consumers are going to buy
the full weekly ration for the first week or
two. The liquor commission expected that,
and made the remark that it hoped no one
would feel under obligation to take the full
allowance. Purchases probably will taper off
after the first flurry.
Record of individual purchases is made on a
rationing card issued to permit holders. Weekly
allowances do not accumulate if not taken; how
ever, if there develops a general practice of
Individual purchasers taking each full weekly
allowance as it comes along, more strict ration
ing might be adopted. For such a practice
would probably result in increased purchasing,
rather than the decrease intended in the ration
ing program.
Tax Action at Last
WHAT with both state and federal legisla
tive bodies struggling with income tax
revision issues, and everybody getting ready to
pay off, the whole situation has been pretty
confusing to the casual newspaper reader. At
last, the state lawmakers have reached a de
cision, and if Governor Snell signs the bill,
that problem will be concluded so far as Oregon
is concerned.
In final form, the state measure calls for a .
reduction of taxes payable next year to the
extent of about 35 per cent. That is a sub
stantial cut, but it should be fully understood
by all taxpayers that it does NOT apply on
the taxes payable this year.
We are in accord with the decision not to at
tempt a reduction on the 1942 taxes, which are
to be paid in 1943. To make such a cut would
have required a refund to all taxpayers, and
the administrative and technical problem in
volved, in such a procedure would have been
terrific. Furthermore, to tinker with the tax
rates on last year's earnings, after the year is
over, would have set an unsound precedent.
One measure that does affect the payments
of this year's taxes, passed this week by the
legislature, provides for quarterly payments,
and changes the first payment date from' April
1 to April 15. That is all right. It will afford
a little breathing spell after that blow we are
going to get when we plunk down those federal
taxes March 15.

Veteran Lawyer Passes
DEATH Tuesday took W. P. Myers, a veteran
lawyer of Klamath Falls, who had a colorful
career in criminal law in this section of Oregon.
Mr. Myers practiced law in Central Oregon
for 16 years before coming to Klamath Falls in
1923. He was the first district attorney in
Jefferson county. In the 16 years he resided
in Central Oregon, he had the distinction of
either defending or prosecuting every murder
case inea in urooK, Jetterson or Deschutes
counties.
Two noted cases in which he participated
were those against Ollie Blowers, charged with
murdering a Mexican at Miller's marsh, and
Mable Nichols, who killed Robert Greer at
Summit stage station. He defended both
women, and both of them were acquitted.
Mr. Myers was active in a number of prom
inent criminal cases in Klamath county. He
was an able lawyer, a good fellow, and he
possessed a swell sense of humor. We liked
W. P. Myers.
Honor System
OPA is waking up to the fact that the public,
put on its honor, is likely to do a good job
of self-enforcement of regulations which it be
lieves are necessary and fully understands.
"Make it as easy as possible, so long as the
objective is attained," is the policy promulgated
by Prentiss Brown, who succeeded Leon Hen
derson as OPA chief.
Brown said that positive enforcement meas
ures must be used with criminals but they are
not necessary with the general public.
If the "honor system" works out in the mat
ters of pleasure driving, for instance, it may
be attempted on other OPA programs.
We think OPA should struggle against the
temptation of its petty officials to adopt an
officious, overbearing attitude toward the pub
lic. Thousands of additional offices have been
created In OPA, and these new office-holders
are likely to get big Ideas if a curb is not
put on them.
Inasmuch as they are dealing generally with
citizens who have lived law-abiding lives, they
can arouse a lot of animosiiy if they become
mean and overbearing. They should remember
they are the servants of the public,
Locally, we believe a good start has been
made both in the local war price and rationing
board and in the district office by officials who '
realize their true relationship with the public.
We hope this continues.

The Klamath Falls Lions club has under
taken the job of keeping Klamath Falls clean-up-conscious
this spring. The Lions do not plan
any single intensive campaign for a week or so,
but Instead hope to keep a general clean-up pro
gram going throughout the spring months. It's
a worthy program and.it needs lion-like vigor
to put it across.
MALLON
By PAXIL MALLON
WASHINGTON. March 10 The OPA has
solved the problem of getting around its
own unfair fuel oil rationing formula.
Without admitting or cor
recting Its mistake, it adopted
the policy of the thrifty Fin
nish housewife in an old world
fairy tale. When she discov
ered that the blanket she had
bought to keep her husband
warm covered him only down
to his knees, she immediately
decided to cut a two-foot strip
from the top of the blanket
and sew it to the bottom.
"That," she said, "will make
It longer."
The college men who devised the fuel form
ula, soon found it was Inadequate to heat the
nation through the winter, so they moved up,
Irom time to time, the date of validity of each
of the five coupons.
On March 3, with nearly one-fourth of the
heating season left, they advanced the date for
use of the last coupon, No. 5, to March 7, 8,
and 11, in the various zones. This was the
coupon which was supposed to be used from
mid-April to next September 30, largely for hot
water heating.
Their device has actually increased the form
ula allotments for the winter about one-fifth in
general, but they have now reached the end of
the blanket. No more coupons are left to run
until September 30. Public discovery of the
error is at hand.
To ward off that discovery, the OPA has
now come forward with an announcement that
it intends to be more generous. Not by a
single phrase admitting it made an error, it now
invites "householders who face hardships" to
get more coupons from their local rationing
boards.
In an entirely different tone than last Decem
ber, when it was cracking down "on the nation,
the OPA now promises wide discretion to local
boards. Its formula, which refused to let the
local boards allow for heating servants' quarters,
or for hot water, and which did not take into
consideration the cubic heating footage or the
wide variety of efficiency in heating systems, is
apparently to be forgotten at long last.
You can get more oil if you prove that what
you have is insufficient and that you are other
wise unable to meet your problem.
No effort is to be made to recapture oil
from many who received too much under the
unfair formula, but a benign policy is promised.
An order has even been issued allowing addi
tional coupons for the ill and infirm without
getting certificates of approval from their
plumbers which were required up to March 5.
Best War News ,
THE best of all war news has been lost, in
I the shuffle of more dramatic announce
ments from the battlefronts. We are now turn-
ing out more planes a month than Hitler has
altogether spread around all the theatres of war
in Europe.
War Under-Secretary Patterson announced
that we produced 5000 planes in January, of
which 65 per cent were fighting planes, and
he moved the figures up to 5500 for February.
This means we produced 3575 combat planes
last month.
No current official estimate has placed Hit
ler's total air strength higher than 5000 planes,
and his production rate is known to be declin
ing. He passed the peak last year. Our's is
approaching.
If we cannot win the war swiftly with such
air superiority, there will be something radical
ly wrong with other parts of our effort.
Manpower Policy
A FINNISH blanket policy also seems to have
been adopted by the war manpower com
mission. Its draft bureau has taken the middle
aged males of 38 to 44 back Into threatening
classifications, for the professed purpose of in
spiring them to go to work on the farms, and
that very same day. The army divulged plans
to release 546,000 of this same over-age class
for reasons of physical unfitness. '
The government thus is at one time releas
ing an over-age group for physical unfitness,
and threatening to take in more of the same
physically unfit class in an effort to force them
to go out and do work which calls for even
greater physical fitness than the army farm
ing. This looks like an effort to enlarge the man
power blanket by cutting a piece out of the
center and tacking it on the sides.
Evidence dug up by congressional committees
indicates 75 per cent of the men who have left
the farms have gone into high salaried war de
fense Industry.
A check made upon one Texas project shows
that of the 5000 men, mostly farmers; em
ployed in camp construction, only 25 or 30 went
back to their farms when the job was over,
The others had a taste of high salaries and
mainly sought the Pacific coast in airplane fac
tories. ..
Bonds for Taxes
FINANCIAL officers here are lobklng gkep-
tically at the mounting piles of war bonds
being turned In by workers who say they need
the cash to meet their March 15 income tax
payments.
The treasury makes no money and the war
effort is hurt rather than helped when a citizen
must cash a treasury bond to pay a tax to the
treasury with its own money. Any taxpayer
who wants to help win the war will pay from
his own cash.

Already widely acclaimed, tho
collection of Indian artifacts
owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank
A. Tnyno of 1344 Cullfornlu
avonue, Is given prominent men
tion in a recent book published
by the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, "Archaeological Re.
searches in the Northern Great
Basin," by L. S. Crewman, pro
fp.nor of anthropology at the
University of Oregon.
As tho . result of detailed
study and comparison, this new
archaeological volume answers
on often-asked question on the
ana of the culture of this basin.
On the basis of present evi
dence, the oldest culture in this
region Is believed to hive
existed more than 5000 years
ago, according to Dr. Cressman.
Numerous illustrations of
their collection and detailed
maps which the Paynes have
mado In connection with their
explorations are used in the
Illustrated section of the book.
In tho chapter dealing with
artifacts from Lower Klamath
lake is the following paragraph:
"Frank A. Payne of Klamath
Falls, who called our attention
to this locality, has collected
from the lake bed for 10 years
He has followed the usual
method of picking an area clean
and then, n(ter another storm,
going back to the snmn locality
where he would find moro artl
fuels exposed. Our experience
at the Laird's Hay site, where
the wind was still eroding the
old peat, Indicated that this was
a sound method of proving that
specimen were being eroded by
wind action and were not being
dropped from above after the
supporting peat had been cut
out by tho wind."
In another chapter on Massa
cre Lake cave It Is stated:
"This cove was discovered by
Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Payne
of Klamath Falls In 1033 and
excavated In September 1940.
Wo are indebted to tho Vaynet
for placing their notes and col
lection at our disposal."
In a frontsploce page of ac
knowledgements, Dr. Cressman
mentions Dr. John C. Merrlem,
president emeritus of tha Car
negie Institution, who made the
archaeological work possible by
generous grunts-livuld and con
slant holp, Mr. and Mrs. Payna,
mo late joe Shirk of Klamath

assisted In this work.
Agriculture Department
Plans School Lunch Refund
The federal government came
to the old of the hot lunch pro
gram In west coast schools by of
fering a seven-cent refund on
Typo A, or well balanced
lunches, or five conts on a Type
B, an auxiliary lunch, It was an
nounced Monday night at a Joint
mcotlng of tha city school
boords. Superintendent Arnold
L. Gralapp said today.
With point rotloning staring
cafeteria operators In tho face,
tho hot lunch program, which
has been highly beneficial In all
schools of the country, was
threatened with partial or entire
elimination from tho school pro
gram. Last week, through the U. S.
department of agriculture, food
distribution administration, a
plan was presented whereby al)
schools serving lunches would be
able to got a seven-cent refund
on Typo A, this money to bo
used by tho management of the
cafeteria program sorvlng as an
agency lp the purchase of neces
sary foodstuffs for ulc In the
cafeterias.
Type A lunch, as Gralapp ex
plained, Is one which includes a
well balanced tray consisting of
hot dish, bread and buttor, milk
and dessert. This will Include
meat or fresh vegetables. A
Type B lunch Is ono prepared to
augment a lunch of sandwiches
which might be brought by the
child, and would include a hot
dish and milk.
Presont rotloning system does
not allow sufficient supply of ra
tioned goods to permit the con
tinuance of tho type of lunch pro
gram now used In the Klamath
Falls schools. The high price
now required for green veget
ables would mako It Impossible
to carry on the program without
federal assistance.
Tho refund system will go In
to effect immediately, Gralapp
stated. A careful survey Is now
being mado, the superintendent
said, to assure additional sources
of food supply which moy be lo
cally grown and mado available
for lunch porgroms during tha
next school year. This may em
braco freezing, canning and dry
ing of seasonal stuffs and Parent
Teochor Bssoclotlona may be
called upon to assist tho schools
In such a progrom.
Lowell Koup, principal at
Pelican school, explained tha
provisions of tho now federal
code, and also reported on obser
vations following the Installation
of tho penny milk fund In his
school. Koup sold that students
had Immeasurably Improved In
their school work and In general
school responses following tha
establishment of tho program.
Following discussion, tho Joint
boards took action and recom
monded that the federal program
be adopted for the remainder of
the school year.
