People who took time to analyte the sharply increased rates found that the major responsibility lay with the achool districts. There were generous boosts in the tax rates apportioned to all the school organizations city ele mentary, county elementary. Klamath Union high school and county unit high. City and county government apportionments of the tax dol lar are virtually the same as last year. For sake of simplification, let's take a quick look at an analysis of the Klamath Falb com bined rate: For General Government: EPLEY 1946-47 1943-46 County 20.3 20.5 City 39.5 38 9 Total 59.8 59.4 For Schools: Elementary 30.6 16.9 High School 25.0 17.7 Total 55 6 34.6 Using a bit of the arithmetic we learned in less costly schools, we find that last year, the school tax rate was about 37 per cent of the total combined tax rate of 94 mills in the city. This year, the school tax rate is about 48 per cent of the combined levy of 115.4 mills. Special Elections ALL of the school districts conducted special elections this year to permit them to exceed the 6 per cent constitutional limitation. Here are the results of those elections: Elementary district No. 1 Vote was 253 Yes and 51 No to authorize an excess of S292.926.28. KUHS No. 2 Vote was 155 Yes to 33 No to exceed the limitation by $233,482.16. County unit Vote was 157 Yes to 7 No to exceed the limitation by $251,421.80. It will be seen from these figures that participation in the elections was small. There ! will be many who complain about the taxes i who did not go to the elections in their re- apective districts when these matters were up for consideration. We are not at all certain, however, that the outcome of the elections would have been much different if there had been heavy voting. The school boards and budget committees which prepared the budgets enjoy general pub lic confidence. A substantial portion of the in creases was intended to provide for capital out lays on a pay-as-you-go basis, which is general ly accepted by the public as better than the old method of issuing bonds and paying later with interest School attendance is on the up grade. People here are usually generous with the schools, and it is plain that with higher costs of living (affecting salaries) and increased costs of everything that is done in the educa tional system, taxes for education are going to be higher. So it is possible that even with more intense public interest, the increased budgets would have passed. But even so, the experience is one that should tend to develop greater public interest in school finances and bring out a more representative vote at school elections. Tax Source Question FUNDAMENTALLY, the question boils down not so much to a matter of budgets as of tax sources. Budgets can and should be held down to the essentials, but it is an American and certainly a local policy to provide adequate ly for education of youth, and that is going to continue to cost a lot of money. In Oregon, real property bears the brunt of that burden. Inevitably, there will b a re current question in this state as to whether this is the equitable method of financing educa tion and other costs, or whether we should broaden the tax sources to spread the burden and afford a measure of relief to real estate. That is why the question of the sales tax which has been adopted by our neighboring states pops up repeatedly in Oregon and will most certainly come again to public attention as taxpayers over the state come up against situations similar to that which is in the public eye at the moment in Klamath county. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON. Aug. 13 The acidated struggle of Mr. Truman and the congress over OPA seems to be settling down into a middle-ground moderation of policy which means a new level of economics, a puzzling un even surface. The administration looks upon it as an up swing. Some of its leaders have been giving out figures suggesting production is being re- aiorca in general, although it is lagging behind in basic industries. Those figures, however, were old by three to seven weeks. The latest ngures in wmch current confidence can be placed, however, show progress is being made out, laboriously, larloadings and electrical power production are up. As electrical power Hivuucuon is a aey to industrial activity and carloadings suggest actual distribution to the markets, a measure of genuine confidence, slight though it may be. is being restored, as is evident In the continuous stock market rises of the past week. Congress was certainly right about the re laxation of food prices bringing meat and vege tables to the market Although these were scarce and almost unobtainable in my neigh borhood a few weeks back, hoth t- , plentiful. The luxury of a roast beef is avail able. The higher prices have drawn supplies into the market for the consumer. It now remains to be seen if the rest of the con gressional theory will prove Justified, namely that a plentiful supply will result in lowering of the current terrific costs, such as has been the case before in an orderly American economy.

STATIC -By BILL JENKINS The subject of vacations has Just popped up around the office for some reason and opinions wui oe oouncing oil the walls for some time to come. There , are several kinds of vacations that a person can take this year, and for lack of anything better iu say i u outline tnem briefly. The first, and most common kind is called the "I done it, by gosh" type. This is indulged in by the big blowhard types, who pack their cars with camping equip ment, cameras, cook stoves, flat grills, electric ovens, sleeping bags, etc., and then take off for the high hills, on nothing but back roeds. When they get home it turns out that all they ever , used was the sleeping bag and one pan In which they boiled wieners. They didn't have time lor anything else because they were always trying to cross one more ridge before dark. They traveled too fast and too hard w taice any pictures too. An- oiner department of this type me jive inoiuana miles in six days, by gosh" type. He takes off, usually at about 70 miles an hour, and never sees anything but the white line down the miaaie oi tne road. He comes home tired, sunburned rrnm ..t of temper and with a huge re- , V " ,wal"g io get his car back in shape. Another type frequently seen auiiiiner monins is the national parks I've seen" type. This is the guy who sits down and carefully lays out a map to spot all the national parks. He plots the shortest distance be- nn. them and ,tarU 011 like a pilot on a compass course. He WhOOSheS UO in tho n.rb jeans out the window and yells: Here, my dollar, eim . sticker so I can prove I been here, and tears off through the park on his way to the next one, never stopping to do anything but grab an occasional Kit. , eat.

I came to Klamath after being discharged from the service, aim as far as I am concerned, the people of Klamath are the most friendly and co-operative of all tne people l have met. My suggestion to It. D. Dolin j would be either to slnv ni hmw and study his history books until the centennial Is over, or to take ! a permanent vacation from all us so-called "hoodlums." !
