Oregon, by the Herald publishing Co. and the News Publishing Company. Member. Associated Press Member Audit Bureau Circulation X" Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THAT unique report from the county grand jury last week on the gambling question, has caught outside attention, stimulating Char ley Sprague, of the Salem Statesman, to pontifi cate at length about towns that try to sustain wild west flavor. Klamath people, we are sure, will find the ex-gover-nor'i comments interesting reading. Here they are, in full: Some of our western towns never seem to grow up. They want to pose as relics of the old west, of the gun-toting, rin roarlnff. hell for - leather west, most of which never EPLEY was. Legend always exaggerates, and the wild west which survives in western movies and western adventure stories is the magnified glorification of a west which was by no means universal. Most of the western towns were drab, dull, uneventful. The holdups and the shooting scrapes were occasional, just as they are today. Only in the mining settle ments was there any steady run of killings. There the combination, of gold and liquor, of greed and-reyenge,Tjtept the crime chart at fever stage. -r.r:.:rrrTSi " ' . .. But this pose of "being wild west, of being tough and primitive, 'seems to have a grip on some of our cities, until even the respectable elements, who really are in big majority, ac cept the pose as genuine and meekly acqui esce. This observation is prompted by a recent report of the grand jury of Klamath county respecting enforcement : of gambling laws in Klamath FaUV The authorities there recently cracked down on law violators and confis . cated slot machines. The grand jury, after commending the district attorney and state police for vigilance "in detecting and sup pressing violation of gambling laws," added this counterweight as sop to local sentiment: "It recommends to the law enforcement bodies policy in this respect which takes Into consideration the character and needs of Klamath county, including its topo graphy,' industry and Inhabitants."' What this means is simply to instruct the authorities that Klamath county is peculiar and as one of the centers of the cattle and lumbering Industry it ought to survive as an antique, a reproduction of Dead Man's Gulch or Cowboy Shantytown, with a tolerance of. the old customs which modern movies say " are authentic, like gambling, easy liquor and easier women. Which is pretty much bunk. - : . Cow hands and loggers drive automobiles ' and get to town every few days. They have radios and daily newspapers; and most of - them are married, with homes of their own. The urges and the restraints if a population of 20,000 people do not vary greatly over the state of Oregon and gambling, I have noted, is tolerated in towns noted for piety. The local demand for tne unlawful vices' ' springs quite as much from the vendors and profiteers as it does from the customers; and the former class are much more powerful politically.. It would seem that the time has come for Klamath Falls and the other cities with a ' wild west complex to mature. The law should not run out south of Bend and east of Ash land, nor east of Heppner, nor west of Clat skanie. The Klamath grand jury instead of , patting the enforcement officials mildly on the back and then slapping them briskly in the face should grow up, too; and recognize that its community deserves to live within the orbit of decency established by the laws of . the state. The Klamath jury, as we have indicated previously here, made a mistake in implying that the authorities should adopt some official policy other than' strict enforcement of the let ter of the law, and Mr. Sprague's comments are well stated. But, may we say just this in behalf of the now much-maligned jury. It made a stab at being realistic. It sought naively to give some recognition of the presence and inevitability of sin,' which may be -found quite prevalent in pious towns which hypocritically deny its pres ence, as well as ia communities with an "open" reputation. -.. Mf;,l JIIHHIHU IT W ONE more issue of these light-weight, anemic papers and we can breathe a sigh of relief and 'thank our subscribers and advertisers for their forbearance for the things we did to keep out of the Jail-house. It gives us a keener sym pathy for the bottlers, bakers and others who make their living through the use ' of sugar. Sugar users still will be under government control af ter the first of the year; paper users will be on their own. Government restrictions on the use of newsprint end with the year by gritting our teeth this nast week and eliminating practically all of our "pay ADDISON load" we'll come out within our quota. From then on publishing problems remain the same, except the penalty for over-use simply will be that of running out of paper, without the jail- house threat for breaking a federal regulation.. No More Paper THERE still isn't any more paper, and there are no prospects of increase for another six months. We have hopes that an increase in man-power, plus a newsprint price increase of six dollars a ton that goes in the first of the year, will stimu late the paper industry to Increased production before the year is over. Until then we still ask our advertisers please to "take It easy." It's heartening to know that subscribers think they're getting gypped on the ad-less papers of the past week. For once, complaints are sweet music ... at least to the ears of the ad depart ment. SIDE GLANCES 0 H Em "I forgot to tell you he doesn't like lo go to sleep unless ne can put nis 10m in your iacc a nw wui The World Today Br DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press World Traveler' LONDON, Dec. 29 Preservation of world peace is a burning issue in this England . which so recently wai at bloody grips with the nazi monster, and the debate has been given fresh impetus by the auspicious Big Three par ley in Moscow and the impending meeting of the United Nations organization assembly here. One of the most unusual approaches to this subject I've encountered comes from Sir Rich ard Paget, distinguished British .scientist, with whom I discussed the matter. He holds that peace depends primarily on the solution of two problems, one economic and the other judicial, - and on the economic side his ideas are a sizzling challenge to "economists." - Best Machinery 1 1 THE economic problem, he told me, "is I that of discovering the best "machinery" for enabling every nation to use and distribute their wealth producing powers that is, their power to produce goods and render services ' to the utmost and to exchange their surplus wealth with other communities which need them, without artificial restriction of any kind. "This will need many changes in the present economic system and can, I believe, only be ar rived at by an intensive scientific research to " be carried on by teams of the most intelligent economists, statisticians, psychologists, histor ians, legal experts, etc., working with the same freedom, team spirit and intensity as that which produced the atomic bomb. . No Exaggeration II IT present it is not an exaggeration to r say that nobody in the world knows how the problem of the production and distri bution of real wealth can be handled. Man's powers of production have completely out stripped his 'orthodox' methods of handling the problems of exchange and distribution of real wealth by means of monetary tokens, etc. A better and more scientific method is urgently required." - Sir Richard believes that the judicial problem is of discovering a method "that of selecting from among all the nations a panel of men and or women of the greatest wisdom, courage, clarity and impartiality, to form a world su preme court to which all nations would be willing to submit their gravest differences and accept without question the decision ot the court." This world-panel, he said, should be made strictly oh the merits and without any question of national representation. "With the discovery of a rational economic system and a truly impartial world supreme court," he declared, "the prospects of world peace would be very good." Soldier Dies In Car Plunge SEATTLE, Dec. 29 (iP) Cor oner's deputies said PFC Horace V. Wiles, 20, overseas soldier awaiting transportation from Fort Lawton to a separation center, was killed, and three soldiers were injured early this morning when an automobile filunged through a fence and nto Lake Washington at the Kirkland ferry dock here.
