Today's Roundup
Bj MALCOLM EPLEY
KLAMATH county hat 20,837 registered
voters.
Of these, 2107 went to tha polls yesterday.
v The others, numbering 18,.
730, didn't give a damn about
iclty and state Issues Involving
.more than $12,000,000 of
"public money. '
. Hunt through all the usual
' excuses and "extenuating cir
cumstances" and you can't
find enough of them to show
. yesterday's voting volume up
as anything but a public dis
grace. .
But you won't have to look
-very far among yesterday's EPLEY
non-voters to find ' yowlers and crabbers who
' frequently sound off , about: how badly the ,
- public business is run. .
a a . ' ' a ;
They Were There, Anyway
SAD as was the volume showing in yester
day's vote, it would have been still more
, dismal, no doubt. If it hadn't been for the large
. number of people who went to the polls as
election board members.
These people, being at the polls, voted as a
matter of course. Chances are a considerable
number of them would have stayed away if
' they hadn't had jobs to do at the polling places.
There were 794 election board workers.
, Subtract that from the total number of votes .
, east, and you have the magnificent number of
1 1313 Klamath citizens who went to the polls
yesterday, specifically to vote and for no other
reason. - -
- Amazing, isn't it, out of nearly 21,000 regis-
tered voters and a total population of about
45,0007 .
. a a a a
Conservative
SMALL -as it was in total volume, the de
cisive approving vote on city measures is
testimony to the conservative policy prevailing
i in public financial affairs here. ; -The
municipal . officials did not go off the
deep end with proposals for big bond issues.
They asked for two special levies, which will
' be collected In a two-year period and will then
be wiped off the books. They got both of
! .them.
The vote oh the city-county jail measure is
indicative of public approval of this co-operative
j enterprise which may well show the way in
j Oregon toward elimination of duplication of
I certain city-county functions ' and coordination
of law enforcement work. -
On the, sewer levy, the voters' took a chance
that the federal government will approve and
help finance a sewage line to serve the military
housing and some civilian residences in the
couth section of the city.
Representatives of the Federal Works Agency,.
. or whatever bureau it is which has been toying
with this idea, should now get busy and make
up their minds about it. It's time to get
going.
It is surprising there were any votes against
' the measure which amended the city charter
as it relates to filling vacancies which may
'occur by death or resignation of elective city
officials. Under the old plan, it was necessary
to have a special election, just to fill the va
cancy in one council post. By the action taken
yesterday, vacancies of this nature can be
filled by appointment by the council, saving
the cost of a special election. The appointee
will hold office until the people, at a regular
- election, can fill the post.
a a a a
State Issues
THE cigarette tax on the state ballot came
closer to passing than is customary for a
ales tax in this state, even though it was not
so sound in principle as certain sales tax
measures that have taken greater beatings. The
powerful school group gave it support.
The next sales tax plan that come up in
this state should be a part of an integrated tax
system growing out of an over-all study s'uch
a is just being started under a measure adopted
by the last legislature under the urging of
Governor Snell.
Oregon voters authorized the expenditure of
$10,000,000 collected Income tax money for a
needed state building program at the higher
educational and other state institutions. This
measure was carefully explained to voters
throughout the state and it had the kind ot
support that puts an Issue across in uregon. .
The War Today
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
AP Forelcm Affairs Analyst
II DO not want to discourage German thrift
I and science but I want to keep it from
being aeared to a war machine again.
These words from Bernard Baruch come
pretty close to summing up the general view
of those who would steer a course between
the extremes of dismemberment and complete
' industrial destruction and any attempt to re
habilitate the reich by turning it over to "good
Germans.
Baruch would dismember German industry.
To those who fear the effect of such a move on
European economy he says in effect that the
German share of-Europe's export business can
be produced in friendly countries with both
manpower and machines which would otherwise
be a German war potential.
He would permit the Germans to produce
only enough to meet immediate consumption.
And that, presumably, at not too high a level.
a a a a
No Signs Of Revival
IT seems obvious that Germany is going to be
occupied for years. There is no sign of any
revival from within. For a long time, then,
Europe's economic interests are going to be
in more or less of a pool. It would seem
of little moment, whether- the industries are
located in Germany,, or to the west or east.
For years all German production has been
devoted to war and her own immediate needs.
What little she has exported has been to
nearby subjugated or coerced countries in
grudging return for essential war imports.
For even longer Germany has produced ap
proximately 90 per cent of her own food.
With the expected breaking up of large estates,
particularly the Junker lands, and by applica
tion of some of the manpower which has gone
into industry, she could produce it all.
- , - a a : a
Still True
THIS remains true, even if several million
I ; men are assigned to reconstruction projects
in other countries. What she did during the
war (during which the western allies alone
encountered more than 10,000,000 men in the
armed forces who were not participating in
production) is sufficient evidence of that.
This need not mean that Germany is to be
held in slavery. Only that she shall be quar
antined, then fumigated by such educational
means as fit the case, and finally readmitted
to society if and when she fully adopts the idea
that a decent existence alongside her neighbors
is better . than constant, fruitless struggle for
hegemony.
WASHINGTON, June 23 JP)
Reduced military and govern
ment requirements will prevent
. me snarp decreases estimated
, earlier in civilian supplies of
canned fruits and vegetables.
I The civilian supply of canned
i fruits from this year's pack, will
be about the same as last year
tand of commercially canned
vegetables only about 10 to 15
per cent smaller than last year.

War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones also disclosed there will

centage of beef that federally-
