Jones, jumura; Thomas Parkinson. Roseburg: Paul Patterson, Hillsboro; Wal ter J. Pearson, Portland; Irving Rand, Portland; Lew Wallace, Portland; H. C. Wheeler, Gosh en, Lane county; and George P Winslow, Tillamook. Too Many Now Cornett said the addition of a senator would prevent tie votes but Jones said We've got about 25 too many senators in here already." Hilton said: "The situation In Klamath and Lake counties should be rec tified, but we already have enough senators.- The number should not be increased until we get the house representation straightened out Reapportion ment snouid oe accompnsneo not by increasing the number of senators, but by reapportioning those we now have.

Strayer, Baker, pointed out that the desk of the senate president, which never is used because he always is on tne rostrum, could be used.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) - That is to say, he is not beyond' the range oi normal numan re actions. There is no human reaction more normal than to be just a little set up and sell-important when one first sees his home folks after returning from an af fair in which he played a large and creditable part among out standing men.; Yet. by rather general -agree ment FDR, coming post-haste to congress to give a report of his stewardship at the earliest pos sible moment, was humbler, more conciliatory, more anxious to please than at any time in his long career as President. CONSIDERING all these things, this question is not an unnatural one: . - Did Churchill and Stalin, re membering how another Ameri can President came to a Euro pean conference and committed the American people to a course of action that was later RE PUDIATED by the American senate, - say flatly to President Roosevelt: Before we can go any farther with these plans for shaping the future of the world, we must have the consent of tne u. b. CONGRESS to these things to which you are committing your nation: Your commitment is not sufficient. "Before we can go beyond this point, we must have concurring action by your congress. So go home ana get it. ; .' . THAT is pure speculation. It may be MILES : from the truth. But it does explain rather satisfactorily this change in . at titude which otherwise seems a trifle puzzling. New Zealand Brides Arrive In Klamath . . (Continued From Page One) 6500-mile sea voyage from New Zealand, supplemented by - a little shopping m town. netting squared away witn the OP A and ration boards has also taken up part of their short time here, but the wives nave expressed great surprise at the many things they can buy here which were scarce or almost non-existent at their homes. Arrangements to nave tne girls brought to the United States were made through the American Red Cross. They were met. at San Pedro by ARC of ficials who got them hotel ac commodations in Los Angeles and cut- through travel restric tions to speed, them to Klamath Falls. Husbands Posted Walter. S. ' Bird. ARC field director at the Barracks, was notified of their arrival in Cali fornia and kept the anxious marine husbands posted on their wives' progress in getting ud here. . . . . The sea voyage was unevent ful, the girls say, and under strict wartime regulations There : were about 200 service men s wives aboard the vessel. including a French girl and a Polish girl. A baby born aboard ship three days out oi ban Pedro was named for the ves sel. At least $100,000 stands on the personal tax list which the coun ty court Friday took upon itself to peruse in an effort to start collection, from the more than 200(1 Klamath county residents and firms who have not yet paid this fee to the assessor's office. Thirty-sevon pages of typed name, going back as far ; as 1927, made up the document which County Judge U. K. Reed er and Commissioners John Rcber and Fred L. Pope were thumbing through during the routine court session. Many of the individuals listed have long since died. Scores of firms have gone out of business. At least 50 per cent of the $100,000 involved is considered collectable and it may exceed this amount, the court observed. Not collectable fees will be "charged off" by the court, but the main purpose is to clean up the list and get into the county coffers as much outstanding money as possible.'- The court advised it intended to instigate a new policy in re gard to transient livestock own ers. In these cases, personal taxes will be collected at the time of assessment by the county assessor. In tho past, the asses or has taxed this- property, car ried sucn on tne tax roil, ana by the time . collection is at tempted, the' grazing livestock has been moved out of Klamath county and returned to the home area. Collection is not only dif ficult but well nigh impossible under this system, the court ob served. Freighter Fires Out; 7 Killed VANCOUVER, B.
