Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
DISQUIETING are the reports from various
points, particularly certain big defense
centers, that some wage earners have adopted
- f r .... , a "come and get us" attitude
ll"! toward federal tax return fil-tlV""T'-'S2
ing, due today.
L' i , 1 i"! How extensive that sort of
Vffsr! thing is will not be known un-
H U t Ul til the deadline passes, but
x there has been sufficient evl-
V aence ox 11 10 prompt appeals
and wa mines from federal tax
V sFVi'f I uthorlties- Such warning
V:js' I was given out in Portland the
IhJ other day by the collector of
EPLEY internal revenue for this dis
trict. The law applies to everyone, and under it
there should be no favored groups or individ
uals. Citizens who discharge their responsibili
ties punctually and in good faith have the right
to expect all others to do likewise.
Earnings, particularly in the centers where
these tax strike reports originate, are huge,
most of them coming at least indirectly from
tax-supported governmental sources. The cost
of governmental programs in this war period is
unprecedentedly great. It Is sound policy that as
much of these costs as is reasonably possible
be met by taxation, and even high taxes will
pay only a part of them. Taxpaying is a patrio
tic duty.
The current taxation program will make
millions tax-conscious for the first time, and
that is a good thing. The time is past due for
all Americans to realize that huge public spend
ing takes money that cannot be obtained by
the mere snapping of fingers.
Cooperative
A MAN who has been engaged in obtaining
local contributions for the American Red
Cross war fund drive said that his experience
has convinced him that Klamath people are
patriotic and ready to do all they can for the
war effort.
In a heavy canvassing schedule, he found an
immediate response on the part of virtually
everyone contacted. Only one man "griped."
Everyone else promptly offered a generous con
tribution in keeping with income and financial
circumstances.
"It renewed my faith in our people," said
our informant. "I am convinced that these men
and women will do everything that is necessary
to win the war and to support the services re
quired for our fighting forces. My canvassing
took a lot of my time, but the experience was
worth it"
The Red Cross effort is a test of the spirit
of our people. Here is testimony that that spirit
Is o. k.
Our State Champs
A LOT of local people may be somewhat sur
prised today to wake up to the fact we
have a state championship basketball team in
Klamath Falls. Only a very small percentage of
the local residents have seen this team in ac
tion, for basketball, for some reason, does not
attract crowds here as is the case with football.
Still, if it had been, generally realized that a
state title outfit was developing up at the high
school gym, we imagine the stands would have
been filled for this winter's games.
Now that the title has been won in such a
convincing manner, bringing honor and credit
to Klamath Falls, proper recognition of the
local basketeers is in order. They should get
11 from the community that a championship
calls for.
Our congratulations to Coach Wayne Scott
and his boys.
"
Orchids to Graver
C. C. CHAPMAN, editor of the Oregon
Voter, is a keen observer at legislative
sessions. In his issue of March 13, he makes
this comment concerning Klamath's freshman
legislator, as follows:
"Representative L. H. Craver from Klamath
-county made a fine impression. Eyebrows were
lifted when it became known that the man
chosen to take the place of veteran Harry
Bolvin, resigned, was a Rail Brotherhood and
union man . . besides being a democrat. In
action, he proved to be strongly independent
and free from the expected bias. His votes
were cast with notable discernment and just
about 100 on the side of good clean govern
ment." Now, all needed to make the local high
school basketball season complete is to have
Marshfield kick up a Jealous disturbance.
Bob McCambridge's warning to early starters
among the new victory gardeners, appearing
on last week's farm page, had real meaning
when the snow started Saturday night. As he
said, March is a month for planning, rather than
planting.
.
Congratulations to the Klamath Eagles on
their new home, occupied formally Sunday. The
lodge in its new quarters has the facilities for
carrying on an active program for the benefit
of its expanding membership, and, in turn, for
the community.

News Behind ihe News
By PAUL MALLON
A ASH1NGTON, March 15 Mr. Roosevelt
VV sent his cradle-to-the-grave "security"
plan to congress in the name ot Uncle Delano
Roosevelt, head ot the national
resources planning board, but
it was somewhat the work of
Ambassador Winant.
The ambassador to London
has been in Washington nearly
two months working on the
program, on the basis of his
experience with Sir William
Beveridge in preparing the
Beverldge plan tor the British.
The British government al
lowed three days of debate in
the Beverldge plan and then
postponed action "until after the war" a nice
shelf on which it can gather dust. Not even all
laborites were for it.
The American congress is apt to do the same
thing with the Roosevelt plan without the
three days of debate.
There are many excellent notions in the
plans, but somehow few can bring themselves
to seriously consider such political canned
goods in the midst of the war. No worse, time
could be chosen to talk of "security," than
when everyone can look into his own life and
see there is no such thing, never has been,
never will be.
The best laid plans ot governments and poli
ticians to collect a lot of taxes now on the
promise to pay someone $8, ? 10, or $12 a week
in the future never look sillier than when they
come up against war, with inflationary prices,
food rationing, death and destruction of lives,
and even governments, and their promises to
pay.
Eighth Dollar Security
THE same $8 which might have been security
for someone two years ago, for instance, is
certainly not today.
Men have always strived for security, in the
past mainly by trying to make themselves rich,
or by acquiring property and insurance. The
rich found in 1932 that their way was no guar
antee. Their paper richer, were washed away.
The poor man has learned the same lesson
then and now, when the disaster of war with
its prices and taxes have nullified his attempts
to find assurance against dreaded want, ,
Yet man as the politicians well know first
is inclined to seek safety rather than work, ad
vancement, freedom, and adventurous goals, at
least in these days when his leaders constantly
gild the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
In truth, however, security is a negative goal,
It does not look ahead, but back. It does not
suggest progress and improvement of the in
dividual or nation, only a hedging against an
old constantly fading norm.
The only real security today is ability to
earn, day by day, week by week. No matter
how governments have sliced it, you still can't
get something for nothing.
These government plans at best could only
bring an unsatisfying measure ($8 a week) of
"security" to the 10 per cent or less of the
people at the expense of the 80 per cent or
more of the people who replenish the treasury.
Our own working social security plan, already
adopted, has collected $7,000,000,000 more than
it has paid out to the people. Comparatively
few have benefited. Most good workers will
never get anything out of it, and the pcfor one
may not really be worthy of all this taxation.

AFTER THE WAR
BONANZA, Ore, (To the Edl
tor) A good many columnists
write what they would like to
see, a wishful hypothesis. In
March 12 issue of the News-Herald,
Paul Mallon takes Vice
President Wallace to task, be
cause of what Wallace thinks
will happen after the war.
I am in politics and sociology
In accord with Mallon; but we
cannot dodge the issue. I am not
for Wallace, yet I think he Is
wise to the situation. This coun
try will meet on a ground be
tween Russian ideas and Ameri
can democracy. As much as I
hate to see it, all straws are
blown by the winds that way.
Roosevelt is heading that way.
His fourth term will put us
there. He will be a fourth term
er, too.
There is a large element, in
fact, a big majority of people
who want an, equality of good
things, with as little effort as
possible. They do not want the
"rugged individual" who has
worked hard and managed well
and acquired a competence to
have more than the slacker.
Democracy of America has
been built on reward to the pru
dent and industrious. I wish it
could remain that way, but it
will not.
Labor unions, which represent
only 12 per cent ot the nation's
laborers, control industry and
will do more hereafter. Unless
it gets, so arrogant that Industry
is killed, people will rise up and
make, a change.
I want to see everyone get
living wages, but not all the
profits In an industry.
There is such a thing as "kill
ing the goose that laid the golden
egg."
W. P. TABER.
Beveridge Plan
A BRITISHER tells
me that Sir William
Beveridge is coming over here to sell his
plan, because he failed to put it over in Britain,
If Beveridge had been successful at home, he
would be too busy working It out there to
make the trip, so my informant says.
The British, he says, in the past three years
have come up against the real facts of life.
However Beveridge may be more successful
here. We are more gullible than the British.
After all, we took a bite of the wasteful Keynes
spending plan, devised by a Britisher, although
Britain spurned it.
And all politicians like to promote "security"
because it makes them appear to be doing
something for the common man and thus covers
a multitude of sins including currently the
insecurity of rising' price levels which is de
stroying whatever security citizens have been
able to provide for themselves, in insurance or
otherwise.
The current report is thus merely political
canned goods laid out on the shelf in congress,
with no guarantees against spoilage. It is a mass
of elevating theories strung together without
any concrete plan or drafts or specifications for
carrying them out.
While the social security board is supposed
to be working on some dollar and cents recom
mendations, these will be a long time coming,
and the congressional committees are far too
busy with other matters to consider any of the
ideas this year, or perhaps next,
For the purposes of the political campaign
next year, however, the pollticos can interest
the voters in pointing to the labels on the cans
without inviting too close a look inside.

WILL IZZI TALK
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) News reached us
today that three men. one an
American naval gunner named
Basil D. Izzi of South Berry,
Mass., were torpedoed and set
adrift on a life raft. These men
spent T3 days on this raft with
nothing to eat except what birds
and fish came near enough to
De caugnt, and with nothing: to
drink except what rain water
iney could collect.
A short time ago, we also had
news of a captain who had the
same fate; however, he only
spent 3 weeks in a raft, not
montns.
The Constitution of the Unit
ed Stales, of America states that
all men are created eaual
therefore, I wonder if congress
win ask Mr. Izzi to address
them, and if he will be given
time on the radio to tell of his
terrifying trip.
Perhaps Mr. Izzi will enlieht
en us as to his opinions concern
ing the sacrifices that the Amer
ican working man and woman
snould make and also if union
labor is as hazardous to the win
ning of this war as some of our
prize heroes claim.
Sincerely,
