PACE EIGHT
TWELVE POINT
PLATFORM SET
BY OSTENDOHF
Ed Ostcndorf, candidate for
mavor in the November election,
today issued his campaign state
ment, emphasizing the import
ance of maintaining and develop
ing payrolls in the Klamath
area.
He offered a 12-point platform.-
Here is his statement:
I became a candidate for
mayor of Klamath Falls upon the
insistence of my many friends,
as they pointed out to me that
Klamath Falls and its people
have been very good to me, that
I did owe to the city my busi
ness experience and knowledge
that I have gained during my 15
years in business in Klamath
Falls as head of the Ostcndorf
Motor company, Dodge and Ply
mouth dealer.
1. Knowing the city and tak
ing part in its civic and frater
nal organizations for all these
years, that I should give my time
to the city as its mayor as I have
been out of - business for two
years and on the semi-retired list.
I could give to the city my full
time. I am in a position to help
Klamath Falls build and main
tain her present payrolls and
bring additional payrolls to re
place the loss that we are going
to have in the loss of some of our
present industrial plants.
It is important that the utiliza
tion of mill waste offer oppor
tunities in Klamath Falls. The
Western Pine- association. Ore
gon Forest laboratory, and Wey
erhaeuser Timber company are
engaged in extensive research on
utilization of wood waste. We
must cooperate with these con
cerns and organizations to help
work out a solution to keep our
payrolls in Klamath Falls.
Klamath Falls has always been
very proud of its buying power.
The level of per capita income in
Klamath Falls and county was
the highest in the state. Let's
keep it up there.
2. Labor is interested in keep
ing and maintaining the payrolls
in Klamath Falls and county and
I am sure we can depend on the
support of labor in this respect.
Labor is entitled to a say in city
government, and I shall appoint
a labor representative to several
city committees.
3. Agriculture and dairying
win no aouDt produce more buy-
. ing power and payrolls. I be-

The Veterinary
By EARL WHITLOCK
When you are considering
the great production records
which -our
farmers have
made during
these war years
beef, hogs,
sheep, poultry,
there is one
man to whom a
great deal of
the credit must
go. The man
who keeps the
farm animals in
good condition so that they may
multiply as they are supposed
to do. The Veterinary Surgeon.
In . many ways I think the
"vet" has a more difficult job
of diagnosis than the "Doc"
whose practice is confined to us
human members of the animal
kingdom. For his patients can
not describe their symptoms, to
aid in his analysis. Dumbly they
must suffer and he, through his
kindliness and his love for his
fe(low creatures and his knowl
edge diagnoses their ills, pre
sences treatment and in an
amazing number of cases, snaps
them out of whatever it is that
is the matter with them.
This little tribute is due to a
talk I had recently with a
larmer iriend who made me
realize what a whale of a con
tribution the "Vet" has made to
the welfare of the farmer and,
through him, to the economic
might of America.
lieve in close cooperation be
tween the city and the surround
ing trade territory.
4. Klamath Falls occupies an
unusual position with respect to
transportation, both rail and
highways. Klamath Falls is
nearlv half way between San
Francisco and Portland on the
closest route. We have excep
tional good rail transportation to
the north and south, so that our
markets in both directions are
easy to reach. Klamath Falls
must take advantage of these
easv and ouick markets.
5. The citizens of Klamath
Falls should do all they can to
support our wildlife sportsman's
associations to help bring to our
city the hunters and tourists that
will travel our highways.
we should all work together
to make Klamath Falls the mec-
ca for hunters and tourists, as
we all know, that Klamath coun
ty has everything for the hunter
and tourist. This tourist and
hunter dollar is going to be a
very large dollar and we should
be in a position to get our share
of this travel.
6. 1 pledge support of the city
of Klamath Falls with all county
and state officials and will coop
erate with fun support to the
county and district court.
7. Of course, every city must
have an efficient police and law
entorcement body, and i assure
you that we will have a police
department that will cooperate
with county and state and will
show our citizens every respect.
Our law enforcement body will
be one that the citizens will be
proud of. I will see to that.
8. We must improve our parks
and playgrounds within the city
and especially in Mills addition.
y. mamam aus is a sa.uuu,
000 concern and her finances are
in very good position at this time
and u L am elected mayor, we
will keep Klamath Falls on the
pay-as-we-go basis.
10. I think that our business
men should be more civic-mind-
ed in making Main street more
presentable to the women that
have to use this street in shopping.
11. Klamath Falls already has
one of the big military air bases
in the northwest, and it is up to
the city officials to follow
through, and see that Klamath
Falls gets full recognition as to
the possibilities here as an air
base of importance in civilian
aviation.
12. I will endeavor at all
times to have an ODen door to
hear any and all complaints of
our citizens.
My slogan: Maintain and De
velop Industrial Payrolls.
A Business Man for a Business
Administration.
If I am elected to the office
of mayor of Klamath Falls, I
pledge my support to all the
points above mentioned.

Scuttebutt Concerning
Rent Control Debunked
October 9, J
(Editor's Note: This Is the final
article in a series exnliilnliiff ine
operation of Ol'A rent control.
Anv questions regarding the con
trol program here can be
answered by the war unco ana
ration board, phone 8101.)
By MILO RYAN.
Rent Information Specialist .
There's a lot of what u salty
sailor calls 'scuttlebutt on the
subject of otfiee of price admin
istration rent control.
If you were to put end to end
the erroneous Ideas of what rent
control is and is not, does and
docs not, can and cannot, you'd
have a line reaching from today
to the hour OPA breathes its last.
This series of articles would
not be complete without beat
ing down some of the false no
tions that are bound to float
around here in Klamath Falls
as tho rent program moves
ahead.
One of the commonest Is the
idea that it the tenant . is per
fectly willing to pay moro than
the rent ceiling allows the OPA
has nothing to say about it.
Wrong. No tenant, the law says,
can waive the provisions of the
rent program.
Not Exclusive
Another is the idea that OPA
says certain dwellings must be
rented only to defense people or
to service people, or that with
certain types of improvement or
alterations a landlord has to relit
only to such tenants.
OPA lias nothing to say about
who any landlord's tenants must
be. except, of course, that with
out good reason to the contrary
it has to continue to be the pres
ent tenant.
Then there's the one about
terms- of occupancy of hotel
rooms. Sometimes hotel man
agers post a sign stating that oc
cupancy is limited to five or six
days. Pressed for an explana
tion, a guest may be told this is
so because the OPA requires it.
OPA says nothing about how

long a guest may slay. A hotel
manager has tho right to ask any
tenant on a dally or weekly basis
to vacate at any time, of course.
OPA says that a guest who stays
over a certain number of days
can ask for a weekly rate and,
if the hotel s quota or weekly
rentals is not filled, tho guest
must be given such a rate. Sonic
hotels will set the six-day limit
to avoid such requests.
Nor does OPA say tiow low a
rent may be. It says only how
high it may be. Landlords van,
If they choose, rent below the
celling without any order from
OPA whatsoever.
Another common fallacy, on
the part of landlords is tho as
sumption that because Mr. Smith
on Avenue A is getting $10 for
his place, Mr. Jones of Avenue
B should get the same amount.
Aim to Stabiliie
OPA docs not equalize rents.
Its aim is stabilization, so it fixes
rents at the point where they
stood at tho freeze date, when
there were no abnormal pres
sures affecting landlord-tenant
bargaining.
Still another common notion
is that OPA controls rents only
in those localities which have
been declared defense-rental
areas.
From a practical standpoint
this is so, but actually every sec
tion of the country has been de
clared a defense-rental area, but
OPA operates rent offices only
in those areas where inflation
ary conditions have thrown
dwelling rentals out of line.
Control Follows
Where inflation strikes rent
values, sending prices skyrocket
ing, OPA control follows. Its
entrance into any community is
made, however, only after a care
ful and considered study of the
community has been made here
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
United States Department of
Labor, helps out and after it is
clear that the situation is not
remediable by local action.
These eight articles have hit
only the high spots. For further
information, the rent office at
the war price and rationing
board will be ready to answer
questions, once registration is
completed.
