Aaaociatad Prraa Membar Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY FILING deadline for independent candidates has passed, and three candidates for Klam ath county office are virtually elected. They are Clarence Humble, district attorney; Lloyd .Low, sheriff, and Chct Langs let, treasurer. . These gentlemen can breathe easily now, but it is unlikely .they were much worried. Jn recent political history, there have-been few local independ ent candidacies. The last one that was suc cessful was that of Henry Semon, who entered the state legislature contest in 1932 as an independent. A life-time democrat, Henry decided to EPLE'f make the race after the primary that year, and could enter only without party label. He was elected, and since then has been returned regularly as a democrat, carving out an out standing career as an Oregon legislator. Few men enjoy the- prestige and respect in legislative circles that are accorded Henry Semon, - l . m Four County Contests WITH three f'no-contest" candidates on the VV ballot, Klamath county voters in Novem ber will decide only four actual races for county offices...: . These are: county judge U.. E. Reeder and Walter Vest; county clerk Charles DeLap and Mae'K. Short; county commissioner John Rebei-j and Dorothea Buck; county coroner Dr. Samuel Earhart and Dr. George Adler. For district office, there will be the contest between Senator Marshall Cornett and Marius Peterson for the 17th district state senate seat; the election of two state legislators out of four candidates Henry Semon, Mrs. Rose Poole, Dale West, and Thomas Bustin; the election of a congressman, with Congressman Lowell Stock man; and C. J. Shorb as the contenders. If anyone has noted much camnalzn activity among' these candidates, he has seen more than committee came up In the senate a few days back with the results of nine months or more ot profound study of juvenile delinquency; The tome had a tone of August severity and It said the committee had heard SO witnesses. However, it did not say who these witnesses were and 1 would judge from the conclusions that they might have been the children. The main philosophical con clusion, for instance, was that "children are people." Frank ly I always thought they were rather immature people, who S7 MALLON needed to be handled, led, , inspired, und maybo spanked now and then for their own good, although I know the children mostly object to that. The report puts the mothers on a high plane also as good people, and takes the happy slant that the children who are running wild just represent a sign of the times. In fact, as far as I can make out, there is no criticism in the report for anyone, including the delinquents. As for handling children, the report says such things as "instituting a curfew law, ex cluding them from motion pictures, sterner discipline or lowering of the juvenile age is unlikely to lead to the'neart of the problem." a a What To Do, Senotor? NO, NO, you cannot have sterner discipline or deprivations. "What must you have. Senator Pepper? I think he must have been grinning in the direction of the election booths when he wrote the answer, after months of study from 50 witnesses. "The child should be within reach ot churches, community centers and youth organi zations, where," with other children, he can share his hours of worship', play, recreational activities," he wrote,- or rather the report says if he wrote it, because it sounds a lot like the ladies In the children s bureau of the labor de-1 partment. I always thought the children could pretty well reach the churches now. There are a lot of them around, i He might have made more of a point, the way -I look at it, if he had sug' gested the churches reach the children, As for reaching the playgrounds, I can see rather clearly what Senator Pepper is reaching for. He wants new ones built, a reach, which has often been stretched from Washington carry ing funds from the treasury or from the muni cipal treasuries. This may be one answer for child recreation if more playgrounds- are really needed in some localities but it Is also the answer to politician's dream, more spending. In precisely the same ethereal political realm, the 'report unrealistically goes on to point out HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SIDE GLANCES 1 1 k . Li Mm COW. 14 tY atA WavKt.

Inadequate Agencies 1 1 THE committee knows of no federal agency I whose services could be dispensed with safely, it concludes. Neither docs .the com mittee know of any federal agency set up in such a way that it can provide adequate leader- week ago. But it still needs more than $25,000,- ship and coordination in the whole broad field wnich is quite a sizeable 'sum, and generous ' of delinquency protection.'! . . . This reasoning seems to be a little complex giving will be required to make the mmt If some one would just lend the community fund committee a half dozen slot machines, and civil authorities would give permission to set them up on the street corners, the quota would be exceeded in a couple of days and everybody would be happy. One of the interesting sidelights of this cam paign has been the reluctant- giving of a few dollars to the drive by gents who do not hesitate to lose many times that amount on a wild gam ble of some kind. -,- 'to me. In short, while all these bureaus have failed to' do anything successfully to cure juve nile delinquency, a cure can be- made by-an other bureau at the top. The report recommends that this new com mission "for children and young people be established in the office of war mobilization1 (now that the war is nearly over) and that the new bureau establish "child-guidance clinics" as an integral part of the school systems over the country.
