Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
KLAMATH'S three legislative delegates Sen
ator' Cornett and Representatives Semon
nd Cravcr now liome from the 1943 session,
f .. ; j '-. p will have to stand for election
t i''vi if U,cy serve in the next ses
f f"""!' sion. At this writing, it seems
V- likely all three will seek leg-
: .';: ' Jcf i ' lslative office again, although
Ay I V;Jj'.- the campaigns of 1944 are still
V "'i''? . The terms of lower house
pita y members, Mr. Semon and Mr.
tVII Craver, extend for only two
jY ' r 1 ycars- Senator Cornett's term
m& is for four years, and it will
EPLEY : expire before the next session
of the legislature.
Senator Cornett, who was mentioned as a
possible dark horse candidate for senate presi
dent this year In case the Steiwer-Lee dead
lock persisted, is a possibility for president of
the upper house if he goes back for another
term. There has also been some talk of Sen
ator Cornett as a candidate for the United
States senate in 1944, when the seat now held
by Senator Rufus Holman is to be up for vote.
Representative Semon is a veteran who goes
back regularly to the legislature from this coun
ty. Representative Craver was appointed to
serve this year, he liked the work, and it seems
probable he will run in 1944.
Tax Progress
THE session just concluded at Salem was
marked by constructive work in the field
f taxation. That was the main thing Oregon
people expected from their legislature this year,
and that was mainly what the legislature did.
Both income and property taxes are due for
reduction as a ' result of legislative action,
although the property tax reduction movement
was given its initial push in the enactment of
the school tax bill in last November's election.
Income tax reduction to the extent of about 35
per cent will become effective next year, bar
ring a referendum. :
- Some clever politics was played on the in
come tax reduction matter, particularly with re
gard to making reductions effective on the
1942 taxes payable this year. An unsuccessful
attempt was made to put this proposition
through in the shape of refunds to taxpayers,
which would have involved an administrative
and clerical problem far too great for the
meagre taxpayer benefits involved.
As a result of legislative action, Oregon peo
ple will again vote on the sales tax in No
vember, 1944. If adopted, the sales tax will go
far in giving Oregon tax equality with neighbor
ing states, and is expected to stimulate indus
trial development within Oregon borders. The
ales tax no doubt will prove to be the lively
public issue, of a strictly state nature, in Oregon
in 1944.
Veto Power
GOVERNOR SNELL has not, so far as we
have noticed, vetoed any of the legislative
measures.
The governor has 20 daysj after legislative
adjournment, to veto bills whose return to the
legislature by him was prevented by general
adjournment.
This has been a good legislature, and a gov
ernor of the type of Mr. Snell probably will
Use the veto power moderately, if at all. But
we hope the governor does not hesitate to use
his power if his convictions are in that direc
tion. Sometimes in the last days of the session
measures pass through legislative action without
full consideration of their every aspect, and in
those cases the avoidance of mistakes is made
possible by use of the governor's veto.
Some one has asked us about the governor's
veto after adjournment. The law reads as fol
lows: . . . If any bill shall not be returned by
the governor within five days (Sundays ex
cepted) after it shall have been presented to
him, it shall be a law without his signature,
unless the general adjournment shall prevent
Its return, in which case it shall be a law,
unless the governor within twenty days next
after adjournment (Sundays excepted) shall file
such bill, with his objections thereto, in the
office of the secretary of state, who shall lay
the same before the legislative assembly at its
next session in like manner as it had been re
turned by the governor."
Those Right Turns
ONE of the worst features about Klamath's
downtown traffic control system is the con
fusion that develops in connection with right
turns, and that problem could be largely solved
If motorists would adopt a more sensible driv
ing practice when making the turn.
Under the system of controlling both vehicle
nd pedestrian movement, the motorist making
right turn runs into the pedestrian lane at
the same time pedestrians start across the side
Street in that lane.
This usually holds up the driver for a brief
period. If he is out in the main line of traffic,
he holds up the other cars behind him, often
eauslng some of them to miss the light and
piling up the main line traffic.
This can be easily avoided. If the right turn
Ing motorist will pull over sharply to the right
s he approaches the intersection, he will be
cut of the way of the main line of traffic. He
eanthen make his turn, waiting for pedestrians

This is common practice In larger cities.
Local motorists should begin to find out about
it pretty soon.
Nick Long and Webb Kennett, long-time
Klamath Falls business men, have resigned their
jobs in the OPA district office, no doubt for
good personal reasons.
These are men in which local people have
confidence. They have been here a long time
and we know them. We dislike to see men of
that type leave the OPA.

Advertising Roundup
By DELBERT ADDISON
THERE'S nothing else quite like newspa Bering.
In one sense it is the embodiment of a
fundamental principle of our democracy, free
dom of the press. In another
sense it is a modern manu
facturing process.
The work of getting out a
paper each day is highly spec
ialized. Several departments
do special jobs, each as unlike
the other as day and night.
The first division is between
what we call the "front office"
and the "back shop." The
back shop is the manufacturing
end of the business. . Here
skilled men working at complicated machines
set the type, make the engravings, arrange this
printing material into the forms which eventu
ally go onto the press as metal cylinders.
The front office is divided roughly into the
news and business "sides." The news side, of
course, reports the news and writes the edi
torial opinions.
The business office includes the circulation
department, the advertising department and the
bookkeeping department. '
o
Ads, Subscriptions Pay the Way
UPON the advertising and circulation staffs
rests the responsibility for providing the
revenue to meet the expenses of this compli
cated job of publishing a paper.
And the reason for the whole setup, of
course, is to provide an independent vehicle
for printing Impartial and truthful news, and
sincere editorials.
There's a lot behind the scenes that enables
the little editorial office to function.
Daily Production Quota
BEAR in mind that all these different func
tions have to be coordinated, that a pro
duction quota has to be met each and every
day. In fact, varying patterns have to be
made, quotas set and the whole thing has to be
executed in a brief working day.
This sort of a working program has made a
Henry J. Kaiser out of every successful
modern-day publisher, and has given a meaning
all its own to the American term "deadline."
Diversity Means Independence
AS NO one individual source accounts for as
much as 10 per cent of this paper's in
come, you can see what we mean, practically
speaking, by a "free press." Actually this
paper's revenue comes from more than 10,000
Individuals. ,
Also, if a paper fails to fulfill its obligations
to the community someone with an eye for op
portunity starts another paper. He either
forces number one to mend his ways or runs
him out of business.
Advertising, you see, Is a necessary part of
the thing called "freedom of the press,"
Sheet Metal Ad Hits the Spot
HAND it to the Sheet Metal Workers for the
ad of the week. In today's paper is their
ad boosting the Red Cross drive.
(This organization subscribed $100 to the
drive, in addition to contributions from Individ
ual members.)
A. F. Joens, who brought In the ad, had a
couple of thoughts In mind worth repeating
here. First, that we should stop and think
of the privileges we still enjoy by being Amer
icans, and then act to preserve them. Second,
that good honest 100 Americans that make
up most of the membership of labor unions
can do well to step out and take a hand at
every opportunity to counteract the effects of
some union actions which have not been so
constructive.
Ad Dept. Puts Ideas in Print
MR. JOENS gave us his Ideas and left It to
our ad department to actually write and
lay out the ad. When it was submitted for
his approval, he remarked that had It been a
matter of laying out and forming a pattern
in sheet metal he could have handled it, but
was actually surprised to see the thoughts he I
gave us in this printed form. I
Others with thoughts for an ad might well j
Keep hub in mina. xnai you aon i nave tne
experience and working knowledge to prepare
an ad for publication doesn't mean that your
ad can't be as good as the next fellow's. Get
ting the Idea in the first place Is the hard part.
Traffic Policeman P. M. Jorgen
sen had to tell the scores of pros
pective customers. He was
guarding the meat, which came
from two barrels which had
tumbled off a passing truck. The
owner quickly discovered his
loss.
