Msxciv B, XB7W Millibar, AaVOClatted PrM Member Audit Bumu ClrculaUoa Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY GRATIFYING majorities were apparently given to the two post-war reserve proposi tions voted on in school elections hereytoday. and Indicate general puouc support here for this method of "pre-financing" as against the burdensome debt programs of other years. Further reserve-building will probably be authorized by our people, creating a rounded-out program for financing after-the-war work. When the struggle is over, and our men come back, they will find that we have not been sitting idly by, waiting . . EPLEY for them to come home and help: us finance the public construction and rehabilitation pro grams that will provide needed-employment in the post-war period. '. . s - Instead, we will have created' a' financial nest egg for that purpose, during the-easy-money period of the war. It docs make sense, doesn't it? ' But here is one warning thought that comes to mind. This money is authorized on 8 fairly general basis, because it is not possible at the moment to say what the greatest needs of tha future will be. For that reason, we should guard against spendthrift policies which could result from . the presence of such a reserve. That can be done by keeping or putting sound public officials in office, who can be depended upon to use these reserves to best advantage when the time comes. The sound financial judgment which has dictated the creation of these reserves should be duplicated in the spending of them. , a a a That Black Snow Business ' AT the outset -of the Klamath Heating com pany hearings before the PUC this morn ing, the "black snow" issue was banned from the hearing on a legal technicality. The specific complaint on which the hearing was based did not touch, on the soot question, the utility's attorneys declared, and therefore the matter was not properly brought up at this time. Inasmuch as this column had stated yester day that the- black snow question would be aired, and inasmuch as we feel that this issue . should be given such an airing, we were dis appointed and we believe the public, generally will have the same reaction. - - Incidentally, our expectation that black snow would be brought in was based specifically on a news release sent us on June 10 by the public utilities commissioner. We have it be fore us at this moment, and it states, in connec tion with the hearing, that "CONTROL OF SOOT, OR SO-CALLED "BLACK SNOW IS ALSO INVOLVED." ; It did not strike us unreasonable that hearings devoted 4o rates and services of the heating company .would also involve the black snow question. The extent to which the utility may or may not be responsible for the soot nuisance bare, and the steps it may take as a remedy for its part in the nuisance, if any, may well be involved in the rates it is permitted to charge. t If the heating company intends to make ad ditional , installations which control soot, it appears to us that it could thus show one justifi cation for an increase in rates. Its action in side-tracking the issue at the hearing, however, shows it is not interested along that line. This column has never alleged that the heat ing company was the sole or even the major offender on the black snow question. It has pointed out,, however, that there is strong public belief that the heating company is a major of fender, and that a complete public study and airing of the whole question would be of value, to the heating company and the community. We still think so, and apparently some one at the public utilities commissioner's office thinks so, or soot control would not have been mentioned in the PUC release sent to us on this hearing. ' m m Hospitality Plan - KLAMATH'S home hospitality committee, which is undertaking to promote the inter est. o our home people in doing things for service men stationed here, comes up today with its first major project. . j.This is the plan: All local people who can do so are' urged to invite service men from any of the three installations here to go to the Fourth of July rodeo with them, and to nave dinner or lunch in the home on that day, ;' It is a fine idea, and many people are certain to follow, up the suggestion. They can do so by telephoning 9103 on Wednesday afternoon or succeeding afternoons up to June 28, the dead line for such invitations. 1 This is a good way of getting acquainted with our soldier, sailor and marine guests, and thus launching a hospitality program mai win con tinue through many pleasant contacts. a a a a Kok-saghyx Wound Up THE well-publicized kok-saghyx (Russian rub ber dandelion) project in tho Klamath basin is about to be wound up by tho forest service. After July 1, any follow-up on the dandelion growing project will be left to E. G. Gross, director of the Klamath recreational area, a part of the state-federal farm experiment pro gram. Kok-saghyx growing was carried on here for two years on an experimental basis, and from what we have learned, tho project proved that the dandelion can be grown successfully in this area for use In rubber production if needed. However, interest seems to have shitted from the kok-saghyx idea as a solution to rubber shortage problems, and we doubt if rubber pro duction will ever become a major enterprise in the Klamath basin. v.- vv P News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, June 20 Dear Mr. : (Member of republican convention plat form committee): You asked me what I would do If I were a member of the republican platform committee. Frankly, I think the time for old-fashioned generalities in platform making is over. Generally, a platform is for gotten as soon as written. This is because it usually is a com posite of accumulation of ap peals to as . many viewpoints as possible, and, therefore, loses any forceful character. I would write a simple, straight-forward doctrine with-- MALLON out equivocation. My suggestions would run something like this: a a a a Make Sincere Effort INTERNATIONAL policy I would promise a sincere effort to cooperate to the utmost with foreign nations in maintaining Christian prin ciples of justice for all peoples. I would not pretend I had a sure-fire way to accomplish this. - I would advocate a formula based on demo cratic principles and seek unity which would take the foreign affairs issue out of politics as .much as possible. The formula which Is being evolved both by the administration and republican leaders, of a top council of nations with a secondary as sembly and a world court, is a democratic for mula. But to bring peace to the world, it must be operated in a democratic way of give and take, with divided authority just as the presi dent, congress and supreme court in this coun try function, with individual authority and co herence. On the issues of air traffic, money, trade, etc., I do not believe anyone can lay down a formu la, only a set of basic principles. Obviously, these agreements must be reached by negotia tion which also will involve give and take. a a a Follow Realistic Course I WOULD warn and guard against any ultra idealistic theories and doctrines such as world states, world wage-hour theories, a quart of milk a day, etc., and follow a course of realism toward our allies, Britain, Russia and China. National policy: I would promise abandonment of politics In economics in favor of truly mathematical eco nomics. Specific remedies to accomplish this couia De oaered. The present system of taxation should be abandoned entirely in favor of Incentive taxa tion, based on national income, with taxes be ing lowered automatically in times of depres sion as national income ' goes down, and . in creased automatically in times of plenty as na tional income goes up. ' I would promise abandonment of nolitlcal spending and propose an entire government system similarly tied to national Income so it would function automatically public works programs, government lending, federal reserve rediscount rates, all banking policies, etc. On this subject particularly, I would lay down a policy of common justice for all the people (eliminating both the preferments now enjoyed Dy unions, which place them in a-special class beyond the law) and at the same time safe-guarding their just rights. a a a a No Reason For This rRE is no reason in common justice why labor unions should be beyond public in spection of their finances, no reason why they alone should be permitted to conduct rackets. The great bulk of labor in this country is still outside the unions and to this middle class of white-collar men, I would promise the first reai representation tncy ever had In govern ment. Unorganized, they . have suffered most from the war which has raised the income of the lowest class, but imposed unequal burdens of taxation without increased incomes on the middle class. : These are the main topics of issue today. For the others, such as farm price protection, hous ing, etc., I would work but my formulas from this, same over-all principle, justice to all rather than paternalism to a few, abandonment of gov ernment by group pressures and an appeal to common sense and not merely to votes. .

Churchill first said he had nothing to add to the govern ment's previous non-commital re plies, but when Adams asked whollier "the enemy sot In mo tion the apparatus of seaborne Invasion," the prime minister said: "I do not know what la meant by setting In motion. Sotting in motion in the sense of crossing tho channel, 'no,' but setting In motion In the sense of making very heavy concentrations of troops and ships to cross tho channel, 'yes.'
