Oregon, by tn Harald Publishing Ca and tha New Publlthlng Company-. Mtmbar, Am related Prwa Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY WHEREVER one goes to semi-public or public meetings nowadays, he is likely to hear a discussion of the question of federal encroachment on state and governmental authority. It is mounting issue. One phase of Uiis subject is increasing federal ownership of real estate. Each acquisition by the government of property formerly In private hands means the removal of valua tion from the tax rolls, and many local governmental units find their situation growing more desperate as this process goes on. EPLEY The subject is always one of lively discussion at meetings of county courts and commissioners of Oregon, ftt one such meeting recently, the following quotation was given. It comes" from Representative Peterson of Florida, chairman of the congressional public lands committee. Said Peterson: "The federal government and its varioui bureaus now own or control parks, forests. Indian reservations, cattle driveways, grat ing areas, public domain, mineral lands, rec reational areas, cemeteries, custom houses, postoffices, housing projects, vegetable and fruit processing plants, nurseries, electrical plants, mines, oil properties, war factories of various kinds, shipyards, docks, wharfs, lakes, dams, power sites, water-front properties, hotels and hospitals. "The United States today is the greatest owner of real estate in the entire nation. More than 24 per cent of the land area in continental United States is owned by the federal government and its various agencies." Land Exchange IN OREGON, it is estimated that federal land ownership totals 56 per cent In Klamath county, with national forests, a national park, an Indian reservation, and other land-holding federal activities, the total is even greater than that. (We hope to get a dependable, specific fig ure in a few days.) Thus, as the federal government, with the war as only an excuse for part of it, acquires more land, the taxable values of Oregon and Klamath county are adversely affected. This has directed attention, recently, to the federal forest service program of land ex change, whereby the service acquires land (which has been logged) from private owners and in return gives cutting rights on other federal forest land. A transaction of this type, of con siderable magnitude, is now in process in the northern part of the county. The court has been studying this matter, and you may be hearing about it soon. e "In Lieu" Payments A SOLUTION of the tax phase of the "federal encroachment"' problem that is frequently advanced is a contribution by the federal gov ernment of money to local governments in lieu of the taxes which would be paid on government-owned property if it were privately held. In connection with forest matters, there are certain allotments that are made from federal funds for local government use. County officials, however, do not agree that these are sufficient or alloted on a basis whereby they constitute true "in lieu" payments. Oregon, as a state where this problem is serious, is fortunate in having as one of its U. S. senators Guy Cordon, who long repre sented public land counties in struggling with this very matter. Probably no one in the coun try knows more about it than Senator Cordon, and as the issue comes to a head, this county and all Oregon counties in a similar situation will unquestionably benefit from Senator Cor don's help. Today's Bible Verses (From John XVII) These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. As thou hast given him power over all the flesh, that he should give eternal life to as . many as thou has given him. Andthis is life eternal, that they l.iight know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent. I have glorified thee on earth; I have finished the work thou gavest mo to do, And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thea before the world was. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known thee that thou hast tout me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may bo in them, and I in them. 77je War Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst &RITISH PRIME MINISTER CHURCHILL'S virtual abandonment of the Polish govern ment in exile, and his concession that Moscow is entitled to the territory it claims in eastern Poland, of course means many things to many people, but as I see it the main significance of his dramatic gesture to Russia lies in this declaration: The world security organization to prevent future wars "will be family ruptured by a quarrel between any of the three most power ful empires which compose the grand alliance of the United Nations'' (Meaning Britain, Russia and America). The natural inference from this statement is that the futul quarrel might develop if the Anglo-American allies opposed Russia s taking over eastern Poland. So Churchill hastens to end the dangerous situation. Thus Marshal Stalin at once gets approval of his claims and gains fresh recognition of Russia's vast and steadily expanding influence in Europe. It's a field day for the Muscovites. Unaltered Fact ACTUALLY Mr. Churchill's concession doesn't alter the fact that the question of eastern foland was settled months ago, although the exiled Polish government in v,unaon stuck to its claims. To put it bluntly it was settled when Moscow said it was going to retain the territory in question. There would be only one way to dispute this decision effectively, and that would be by war. While Mr. Churchill has given the exiled Polish government the brush-off, I don't take this as meaning that he has abandoned Poland. On the contrary he seems prepared to support a Polish government which will recognize the inevitable realistically and enter friendly nego tiations with Moscow for tho rebuilding of Poland by the annexation of part of German East Prussia and a slice of eastern Germany proper. And while one quite understands the feelings of the Poles about losing cherished territory it looks as though the lands which the Poles will get in exchange will be in trinsically far more valuable than the ones lost. Is Charter Overboard? JUST between you and me, it strikes me that the astute British premier probably is really anxious to give his support to a Polish govern ment acceptable to Russia. With Russia be coming the dominant power of EuroDe. Britain is looking for friendships on the continent and one in eastern curope might be mighty useful. Some observers have inclined to the view that Churchill has thrown the Atlantic charter overboard in making this stand. That's a nat ural point for speculation but I doubt whether the prime minister will agree that he has done anything of the sort. That charter is a vital document. Passing time, however, has made it clear that it will need some powerful interpreting to make it meet all the difficulties which have arisen since it was created. SIDE GLANCES THE TELEGRAM "Missing in action," it says. And only those who have Received one, can know That dark moment; when As those words are read Familiar sights become strange! The day is changed to night! The mind refuses to go Beyond those three words! They beat, they drum In heart, in mind, In every fibre of the body. "Tis hard to clear one's self Of them, oh the fear, The pain, the vast Uncertainty! And yet Somehow, hopo creeps in, Like an opening wedge To let in Faith, Faith in God, His promises, His love! Light comes again, Bringing the urge to pray, And tell the Father all, Asking Him to find the lost one And bring him, safely home, Understanding now the truth Of these three words "Prayer Changes Things."

Contribution tolloolns thee rules, ere xarml, SUGGESTION KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) Army and navy hospitals, as the war progresses, must fill. Dare the writer offer a suggestion that may brighten the lives of both those soon to be convalescent and those who must be more patient? It grows out of his studies at Copen hagen, of the Danes teaching wild-bird music to blind chil dren. This technique the writ er, before World War I, reduced to pamphlet form. It was dis tributed to Institutions for the Blind throughout the English speaking world. The suggestion is: That any one who feels prompted so to do subscribe for the nearest Veteran's hospital some good bird magazine or some nature magazine with a bird depart ment. The writer has been do ing this for some months for various Pacific Coast hospitals with most satisfactory re sponses. There is that about avian song, even when the bird cannot be seen, that appeals to all men. It is something sooth ing, like the babbling brook, or the music of those Aeolian harps, trees. the wind-singing pine Respectfully C. M. GOETHE. Chaplain to Preach Rev.
