Jury, believing a mnn Innocent, would return
a verdict of guilty just because the public was
disgusted with acquittals in other cases.
The local public docs not want Innocent
men convicted.
What the Klamath public has been talking
about recently and we have merely comment
ed upon It objectively bolls down to just this:
Violators of criminal laws should be convict
ed and punished.
There's nothing the matter with that. Pub
lic sentiment on that line Is needed to help de
stroy the unwelcome reputation of Klamath
county as a place where one can commit a
crime and get away with it.

Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
The plan to create an all-year park head
quarters for Crater Lake national park in the
Fort Klamath district near the south entrance
f the park has been in the wind for some
time. It is a logical part ol
lake into an all-year park
a status in which it can best
lerve the recreational needs of
the big mid-coast area in
which it is located.
Up to now, summer head
quarters has been maintained
inside the park at the high
altitude headquarters estab
lishment, and in the winter
the main administrative office
has been located in the -fed- EPLEY
ral building at Medford. A sub-office has
been maintained for many years in the federal
building at Klamath Falls, with the assistant
superintendent in charge here in the winter
period.
Moving headquarters from park to town
and back again each year has had obvious
disadvantages. If the park is to go on a year
around basis, as now appears certain, the sensi
ble thing is to set up a year-around headquar
ters. It was decided to do this at a more ad
vantageous site than the present park head
quarters three miles from the rim, where snow
depth reached 10 to 12 feet each year. A new
site has been selected on a south exposure in
the yellow pine area near the south entrance
out of Fort Klamath, where snow depth reaches
only a foot or two. The whole administrative
operation of the park can be conveniently di
rected from this point, and it should lend itself
advantageously as a site for equipment storage
and maintenance, etc.
This location is only a few miles from the
Wood river valley town of Fort Klamath, and
It should mean much to that community, which
will become virtually the headquarters town
of Oregon's only national park.
e
Active Recreation
As a year-around park, Crater lake will
have a much greater appeal to those with active
recreational interests. The park has great
acenic attraction in both winter and summer,
but it also has important recreational possibili
ties besides inspirational sightseeing. It can be
made, with proper sympathetic policy on the
part of the park service, a fine winter sports
activity area, while in summer fishing, hiking
and horseback riding may well be developed far
beyond their present status.
It is well for us to keep in mind that these
active recreational features appeal to younger
people who, now that the war is over, are back
among us in full force. These are the people
who, if they like it here and stay here, will
make our area go places.
a
Sentiment On Crime
When a young defendant came before circuit
eourt here for sentencing this week, his attor
ney made a plea for clemency on the ground
that his client was the victim of a public reac
tion to recent acquittals in criminal cases here.
He said in effect that there had been pub
lished and public criticism of recent jury ac
tion, and indicated the jury in this particular
case was influenced by this situation to bring
in a verdict against his client. It was an intrigu
ing talking point, and we don't blame the at
torney for using it.
But we do not believe any Klamath county
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 8 The story is told
I do not know how trulythat State
Secretary Byrnes faced a verbal firing squad
in the cabinet before his recent firming of inter
national policy against encroachments by Russia
around the world.
In the inner group, it is related that Presi
dent Truman allowed his cabinet advisers to
express plainly to Byrnes their dissatisfaction
at the total lack of results from his position as
a diplomatic neutral. Indeed, a majority is said
to have pointed out to him that to be a neutral
in conflicts between democracy and totalitar
ianism is to be ineffective.
Some of Mr. Byrnes' friends are trying to
stamp out the story, contending he wrote one
or two of his firming notes before the date of
the meeting at which the execution of appease
ment, if not of Mr. Byrnes, took place.
a a a a
Affair Arranged
I am inclined to believe the story because
Mr. Truman stepped out conspicuously on the
same platform from which the Churchill ad
dress, urging an Anglo-American alliance, was
presented. Mr. Truman did not commit him
self, except by his presence, but when a Mis
souri University grants an honorary degree to
anyone, you may be sure Mr. Truman arranged
the affair. Indeed, he is supposed to have read
the address in advance. You may recall Mr.
Churchill paid a final visit to Washington a
week or more before they both went out to
gether for the historic occasion.
The union of these two men for the occa
sion, however, should not be interpreted as a
definite forecast that all Mr. Churchill wanted
will come to pass, immediately or even soon.
: Indeed, common interpretation around the coun
try, judging by the comment and reaction, was
that Mr. Churchill was inspired by a desire to
give a boost to the proposed loan-gift of more
than 4 billion dollars to the British government.
No doubt this is true, but the deeper meaning
of his words should not be lost in such an obvi
ous deduction.
The important thing is he spoke out against
Russia. He removed the diplomatic velvet from
his tongue and talked of realties. He dropped
pretense and said what he thought.
a a
Plain Words Not In Order
Such plain words have not been much In
order around here lately. The Byrnes policy
had been founded on other factors than plain
speaking, to say the least. I think it is fair to
say the advocates of the Byrnes school of tac
tics (largely confined to the left-wing groups)
were timid in their fear to face truth.
The mere facing of it in these new diplo
matic ventures therefore represents progress.
The confused world cannot find stability and
peace in diplomatic trickery, appeasements,
- spoken words without meaning, written and
sworn words not to be carried Into effect, or
any of these devices all lacking confidence,
security and good faith necessary to sound un
derstanding. Agreement must be built upon these ingredi
ents as a foundation, or they are meaningless
and dangerous. To fear that war will come is
in itself a position of weakness. It will come
either way, if it is to come, because it can
come only through action of our adversaries.
If we face the facts, we will know what the
score is and we will be prepared. If we dodge
the issue and retreat from position to position
in the face of mere diplomatic pressures, and
delude ourselves into believing surrender is
peace, our fate is in the hands of our adversar
ies. These events, both on the inside and out,
represent a first essential step from confusion
toward peace.

CRITICAL OF BUSES
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) -To all whom it may
concern: If you want to risk
your lives just ride one of our
city buses! What kind of care
lessness is excusable when it
comes within a hair's breadth
of taking a child's life? Oh yes,
we adults have been shut in their
doors before, but we are capable
of taking care of ourselves but
when it concerns a five-year-old
child that is an altogether dif
ferent story.
What Is my gripe? Well here
it is. This afternoon, February
27, at about 1:20 on East Main,
on the Shasta way bus, I got off
the bus through the rear door.
I made my exit safely and had
just turned around and had just
taken my five-year-old daugh
ter's hand to assist her off when
the bus started away. For an
instant I - pictured , my child
bounced off that bus and under
the wheels, but through an act
of Providence, I was able to
jerk her arm and pull her off
just as the bus was wheeled
merrily on its way.
- Would like to know the ex
cuse of the driver. If they are
unable to see all the passengers
they had better install more rear
view mirrors. If you want wit
nesses there were plenty.
Here's to lousy bus service,
Mrs. Dorothy Caldwell,
1534 Madison.

Boundary Dam
Site Studied
A preliminary reconnaissance
of the boundary dam site on
Lost river was made Thursday
by U. S. Bureau of Reclamation
Geologists William Gardner and
Robert Gamer from tho region
al office, Sacramento.
This project has not been
definitely decided upon, E. La
ton Stephens, superintendent of
the local bureau office, stated
today but geologists who looked
over the site will proanro an
outline of exploratory work re
quired. The tentative layout
will determine where work with
borings and test bits should be
made.
v Work should commence from
30 to 60 days later, if the proj
ect is approved, boring at the
indicated places to determine
foundation conditions at the
site and locate suitable material
for construction of Boundary
dam, which will be located on
Lost river about one mile above
Malone dam.
The dam has been proposed
mainly for flood control in con
nection with further develop
ment of Tule lake lands and
would control the run-off of
about 135 square miles of area
tributary to Lost river below
Clear lake dam. It would also
increase available water supply
to be used for irrigation purposes.

In general do
..nt nt,nnl trk
be overanxious for suffrngo In
polltlciil affairs, although most
nf them would like a hand in
sottling social problems.
Mnnv of tho real crusaders for
completo voting rights are
among tho elderly women, who
were active in the days when
the militant suffragettes wore a
world phenomenon. Curiously
enough, tho younger generation,
brondly speaking, would bo con
tent with partial suffrage, at
least for the present.
Politics ComDlloatad
Tho average Swiss woman Is
essentially a housewife and hus
the old lusiuoncci notion mm inn
wnmnn'.i nlnco Is in the home,
studying mo weuuro ui mo i-
i v. Also swui DO mcs are conv
nllcnted nnd demand more of
the voters' time than most house
wives feel they can spare from
their home duties.
There arc few countries where
citizens participate so Intimately
in the affairs of state as here in
little Switzerland. The Swiss
looks on this participation not as
a "right" but as a "duty," with
the result that he Is constantly
engaged In settling the problems
of his community or the country
as a whole.
To lllustrnto. take the city of
Bern, whose government Is 800
years old. Most local laws go di
rectly to the voters, who arc
culled tin about onco a month to
deal wlih them. In some places
the citizens even elect the scnool
teachers by direct vote.
Burden On Rich
The Geneva Canton council a
few years ago passed a law abol
ishing taxes for people of the
lower and middle classes and
putting the whole burden on the
rich. In Geneva all tax measures
must be submitted to the voters
as a whole, and In this caso tncy
turned down the law as being
unfair even though the majority
would benefit by it.
These Alpine cantons still
have the old form of democracy
which they have practised for
over 600 years. All the peasants
get together In April with a lot
of pageantry and, alter cieouic
vote on the business of the can
ton. They stand In a big circle
maybe 5000 or 6000 men and
vote by a show of hands. If the
presiding official can't deter
mine the vote In this way the
circle separates Into two oppos
ing bodies and there Is a count
of noses. Everybody turns out
for this town meeting, that is
all the voters, but the chances
are that somebody has to stay
home and that will be mother.
This intimate association of
tho cillr.cn with local nffulrs ex
tends In the national govern,
mont. Tho federal assembly can
puss h law, but If ilO.OOO v (i tins
naked for a plebiscite they ran
luivu it, It 00,000 people waul n
law, there must bo a plebiscite.
Ami so it goes.
