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. ,

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.

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.

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.

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. .

The sun seems warmer, the skies
are bluer.
The friends I have made are
'real' and seem truer.
There's a cheery welcome on
every hand.
My heart goes out to so friend
ly a land.
Regardless of what the favor may
be,
The natives of Klamath show
They'll give you directions, or
tha time wnicn moves wow.
When you're miles from your
home, with no place to go.
To you people of Klamath, these
favors seem small.
But you'd think different I
know, bad you tasted the
gall ,
Of a rude class of people, who
stare in disdain.
At a stranger who's trying
their friendship to gain.
It may be you've never strayed
from this place.
Or sought in the crowds for
a familiar face,
lis then you'll know the worth
of a friend,
When a stranger says, "Hi
Sailor, how have you been?"
We're not here by choice and
don't want to Intrude,
And we're thanking you now
for your nice attitude.
Please bear with our boys who
are loud and unkind,
' For God only knows what they
have on their mind.

LONDON, June 80 W) Prime
Minister Churchill told the house
of commons today that a German
Httompt to Invado Britain In 11M0
had been smashed before heavy
concentrations ot shins and
troops were able to leave contin
ental ports.
Churchill's statement camo In
response to a series of question
from tho floor by Major Vyvyan
Adams, who asked the prime
minister If ho could give the
house details of a reported nail
Invasion attompt.
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.' '
Laborlto Emanuel Bhlnwall
then asked:
"I suppose he (the prime min
ed the service on or before Jan
uary 1 he may request the ap
propriate OPA reputation region
al office to establish a price for
him.
Inter) could say that if suuh an
invasion was mnde, at any rate
it was unsuccessful?"
Churchill smiled and answer
