Aaaoclatad Pn Until bar Audit Buraau Ctrculatlos Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY NOTE TO TRAVELERS: We've commented here on many occasions about the fine Inland route from Portland to Los Angeles Via Klamath Falls and Reno. " ; Today we can report a post : war practical demonstration of how this route works. A ; party of acquaintances of ours left Klamath Falls on Satur day at 1:30 p. m., had dinner ' In Susanville that evening, (topped for a look-around in Reno, stayed', all night near Carson City, and arrived in Santa Monica Sunday evening - in time for dinner. How's that? EPLEY ADDITIONAL NOTE TO TRAVELERS: Much has been said here about the comparative fea . tures of the north-south routes between Eugene and the California border by Klamath Falls .' and by Medford. A party we know just came over here from Roseburg. Usually, these people make the trip down the Pacific highway to Medford and thence to Klamath, but on this ; occasion, it was decided to go clear around by ' Eugene. In spite of the greater distance, the ad- .. vantages of the Eugene-Klamath route were so . great that no time was lost and driving was . found more easy and pleasant. What this means - to the traveler from Eugene north, when the distance to California' is actually less by Klamath Falls, in addition to other advantages, is clearly evident. . a , . Some Short Trips STAYING on the travel theme, it is noted that there is an urgent appeal being made to the public to stay off of trains over the forth coming Labor Day weekend. This probably will not dampen the ardor of a lot of folks who are thinking about motor trips on that first holiday period since the lifting of gasoline rationing.' There are many interesting short trips that can be made in this area, without straining the pocketbook or the aging jaloppy.- Here are Just a few personal suggestions for trips of one day or less: 1. Lava Beds monument. . This gives one a chance to see the' sweeping grain fields of the Tulelake country at harvest time, as well as a good section of the irrigated valley between here and the lease land. 2. Klamath agency lookout .- There's a look out tower on Agency Butte that isn't far from, highway No. 97 and affords a marvelous, view as well as an Idea of how foresters keep an eye on a big slice of the country. 3. Sprague River loop. This takes one north ' on No. 97 to' Chiloquln, through the reservation -by way of Sprague river, and back into town by the Lakeview highway all interesting coun try, with no back-tracking. ' : " " 4. Poe valley-Malin loop. Out to Poe valley -through Olene, over the hill to Malin, and back to town by the Klamath valley. 5. Crater lake, by Fort Klamath, out the east V entrance, and back on highway No. 97. 6. ' Upper Klamath lake loop. Up the west aide and back by No. 97. Rough in spots, but " great country to see. 7. Tulelake, the WRA camp and the petro glyphs. Right down the highway to the WRA camp, up on the peninsula hill for a birds-eye of the settlement, then around to the petro glyphs. This can be combined with the Lava Beds monument for a longer jaunt. Lakeview. The Lakeview round-up is always worth seeing, and the drive over there is one of our favorites. For a loop, one can return by way of Alturas, or by the Fremont highway and down No. 97. These are just a few ideas, and of course, the journeys can always be made in reverse of the manner suggested. By PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, Aug. 271 do not know VV anything today ... if you are looking for inside stuff, skip this one, or, on second consideration, maybe this Is the inside stuff. I just decided to read the papers like you do today , , . after all, why should I go out worrying my head and digging up Inside stuff when the tax collector just came in and re minded me that whatever my brain and energy develop must be taken by him, In great part; in fact, in whatever part he decides, he told me , . , Those fellows had a way about them in the Roosevelt administration, ' a way which avoided me, because I knew that inasmuch as I was contesting for reality and tacts in the face of an administration which derided both, I had better set my bookkeeping up on their basis. Whatever they wanted I gave them. It seemed a shorter price than selling out my in dividual independence of thought. I figured if the Morgenthau tax collectors could take me, anyone could. They knew that and did not come around, but now they have come in again, and I do not mean reasonably, but ferociously, a Tax Collectors' World THEY sent a fellow in here who says he will take me regardless of the fact that his own bureau set up my tax business in the past. There seems to be a change. (Please do not consider this news, you editors who have com plained I do not carry the dirt, but taxpayers please take notice, and pay no more than you are legally required to. After all we are paying $43,000,000,000 a year out of the sweat of our brows and minds, and if the Roosevelt adminis tration, with all its powers could not take an adverse critic that way I do not think the Truman administration can take you or me.) It has great power but if it wants to destroy the power of right, let me be the first to fall. I would not want to live in the kind of a world a tax collector decrees for me and changes. Incidentally, we arc paying about $45,000, 000,000 a year into this government for the privilege of having a new (Truman) tax man come around to challenge and destroy what a Roosevelt tax man thought was impregnable, asked for, and got. SIDE GLANCES Kf.pumuwa.i.y.u.tia.iHj:ta "Thai soiln jerk wouldn't sell me ice cream to tnke out till I told him it whs for a .tick person but I reiilly am I still sick from those Hrcen apples wc ate!" Government's Taxing Power AS I say, this has put me out of the humor of trying to find any inside news today. Why should I work, or why should anyone, when a government has the power (and ex ercises it) to take your sweat and your energy, in whatever proportion it decides. Fairness, justice, and law do not mean anything, this tax agent told me, so why should I sweat. Actually he decides what my income shall be, and changes it from year to year to suit his purposes. This fellow actually pretends I should disregard all the rulings of his bureau in the past and accept this somewhat cloudy mind on all propositions. Why should I work? Why should anyone? a a a a Promise Easy Living THEY promise us, they say, an easy living in luxury at whatever figure the politicians decide for old age (I'm getting old enough to receive anything they might permit) so why work. Let us all, oppressed people that we are; just follow the advice of Mayor LaGuardia, who said, it would be foolish of , us to cash our bonds and buy anything, and what -we need is a government which will pay. us something. Regardless of what I say reasonably Friday, LaGuardia might be irreasonably right. Why not discourage our capitalistic system and let everyone live off the government. Frankly I , have half 'a mind to join with them, abandon all my principles,- integrity and what I like to regard as a decent, understanding honor, and join those who want to live off the government . instead of supporting it. ' If the government wants to pay me, why should I pay the government unjust extraction a a Tomorrow's Column IMF I feel less interested in people's rights I tomorrow, I may submit you another col umn showing how the Hillman administration (pardon me, I meant Truman who was cleared with Sidney at Chicago and is developing con gressional affairs now that way) planned to stampede the government and take the congress at a cost of $6,000,000,000." If you do not see me again tomorrow, just say I joined the CIO and decided to live off the government instead of working to support it through taxation. As a matter of fact I prob ably will go fishing. How much is that unem ployment compensation anyway?

Police Officer Kenneth Ulery was summoned to a downtown hotel by a shrieking roomer who cnea trom tne windows, "Help! A skunk's loose in the corridor!" Ulery dashed in and fnunri th small animal dominating the sit- uuuun. "It was shoot first or get shot," he said,. "So I beat It to the draw with a tear gas shell."

Auk. 27 (IP) The state industrial accident com mission said today it would in vestigate last Thursday's ex plosion at the Iron Fireman plant in Portland, which killed one employe and injured a score more. The investigation will be made on behalf of the com mission's accident prevention bureau. ANTI-GLOOM KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To the Editor) Where do we go from here? Inflation or defla tion?' Prosperity or depression? Either of these will mean the difference between hope and despair, according to how. they are admeasured, applied and exe cuted. As for myself, I have the highest hope and greatest con fidence that we shall maintain the gains we have made in the last few years, wherein we have attained the station of the lead ing nation of the world, and the rest of mankind are looking to us to lead the way, for the pur poses that we have espoused,, which is . the economic better- Lment of all free peoples, insofar as our example shall be accept ed by mankind. So then we can not, must not, and will not fall to do so at home, we must make democracy work, and right here at home. . There is only one set of men who are going to be "laid-off" and out of a job, I hope perma nently unemployed, and that is the perrenial Gloom ' Peddlers. Their job will be termintcd, by lack of an audience. We must not overlook the fact: that there' has been a great change in the thinking and phil osophy of we Americans during the last decade. This change has been achieved without any fundamental de parture from our organic law as set forth in our constitution, and just as intended by the founding fathers of this government; that is. to make of this nation a peo ple who are free in fact, as well as In theory. We have satisfactorily demon strated that people are not free and independent when they are unemployed and not able to make a living and are begging for jobs; when there is a so called "labor market" that the industrial baron can invade and secure employes on the lowest wage bid. The employer has learned that a living wage is the salvation of our economic sys tem, and we have all learned that steady employment goes right along with this living wage. High waees for a nnrtlon of the year only, is not social se curity. Unemployment insurance is only a partial answer. Now. under reconversion, and also reconstruction, the indus trial bosses and management. their engineers and financeers, have the job of taking "right hold" and to go ahead, and they will have government help along this line wherever it is neces sary, and this in the name of the whole people. That is the an swer. If they fail to do the job, fail to live up to their Opportun. ity, then the so-called capitalistic system wilbfall flat as a nun. cake on a cold griddle. They must not go on a "Cash Handler's Strike" and begin hollering for deflation as we have had In the past, as we have always had at the close of wars. The American industrialist la not going to fail us. He Is a new man, with new ideas along the line above suggested. Hope, confidence, courage, grace, grit and gumption will stick and stay In our vocabulary and the Amer ican language, until the "oceans blue shall turn to gold." xours respectfully, Wm. F. B. CHASE.

Of course,- since that time the country's war potential has been smashed, but so long as the militarists remain alive, and re tain their unholy ambitions for conquest and enslavement of their fellow men, they are dangerous. . The moral to this Is that the Japanese militarists, like the Prussians, must be put out of circulation permanently, one way or another. Bomber Missing On Training Flight WALLA WALLA. Aug. 27 fPl Col.
