Editor Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY FROM time to time in this department we have plugged for more adequate pay for itate policemen, an Issue that approaches decisive stage witn me leg islature opening its 1947 ses lion next week. The idea that state police wages must be hiked is not usl ours and the state police men's it is rather widely held by those informed about the situation. This week, the Roscburg chamber of commerce sent to Klamath county's chamber a copy of a resolution, discus sing uic Buujcvi uiut-ii .- FPLEY have commented here, and isk- 1 lng the Klamath chamber to consider similar action. The Roscburg resolution points out that a substantial Increase in state police pay is not merely simple justice for the men of the de partment, but is important to the welfare of the state. Continuance of inadequate pay will mean the steady loss of good men to the de partment, with a consequent decline in effi ciency and prestige (Take home pay of some state policemen we know, with long records of able service, runs well under $200.) Adequate pay will help keep good men on the staff and will attract high calibre candidates for its personnel vaiancies. A public recognition of this need will help to bring about correction by the legislature soon to come into session. Klamath people interested in an efficient state law enforcement agency should make their opinions known. Building Record ALL things considered, 1946 was a remark able building year in the Klamath Falls area. Despite the problem of obtaining materials and other difficulties, the total of building per mits inside the city was $1,138,605, the highest figure since 1930. This does not include the substantial volume of building, particularly residential construction, that went on in the suburbs, where no permit is required. It is true that building costs were high in 1946, resulting in higher valuation figures than for similar construction in pre-war years. But even in these times, a million dollars worth of building is a lot, and that is especially true when no very large projects were involved. The money was widely spread among many owners and in many parts of the city. Most apparent, of course, was the work that was done in the business district. - Klamath's business houses were dressed up with new fronts and many interior improvements that added greatly to the front-window appearance of the city, and indicated a strong confidence in the future of the community. If conditions are at all favorable, 1947 should see a continuation of property improvement through construction projects. .' Sign 'Em . RECENTLY, we have slipped a little from our rigid requirement that names appear with letters printed in the "Telling the Editor" column on this page. The result has been a rash of unsigned letters. t We return to our previous rule that letters on all questions must be signed, and letters will be published without bona fide signatures in only the most exceptional circumstances. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 The fresh republi cans and reorganizing democrats held hands rhetorically over Mr. Truman's mess age. Mr. Truman said the power of the future "lies in our hands yours and mine, joined to gether." While republican directors were coy, generally, House Majority Leader Halleck re sponded: "I think that Sam Rayburn on his side and I upon my side, join in expressing to the president our firm intention of cooperating for. the welfare of our beloved country." The Tulelake City Eyes New Drainage System TULELAKE, Jan. 9 Tulelake city fathers in the first council session of the new year Monday night mulled over proposed city improvement projects that will be worked out in the coming months. Foremost among the proposed programs for city bet terment is the installation of curbs, gutters and storm sewers for drainage. Second major plan is for additional sidewalks. Property owners will probably have presented for approval at a special election in the spring, the proposal to float a general obligation bond issue of a yet undetermined amount for finan cing the drainage project. It is expected that cost of this in THURSDAY EVE.. JAN. 9 KFLW 1450 kc. KFJI 1240 kc. Gabriel Heatter MBS dull Show . 8:110 Harry Xogen Orch.

The sidewalk installation will be taken care of, it is suggested, by property assessment. The council also will ask the bureau of reclamation for the annexation of 40 acres of land adjacent to the last addition to the town site, the land to be divided into lots and sold at auction. Consistent growth of the city and prospective industrial addi tions necessitate extension of the city limits. It has been brought out by the council that the new addition if annexed will be zoned for single family units or homes, double units for duplexes, triple zones I RADIO PROGRAMS FRIDAY P.

This was the theme the White House projected for the opening of the new republican congress. Union Reform Program NOW no official on either party here ts Scrooge and no one Is against cooperation, but the actualities of the inner situation are simply these: Mr. Truman laid down a union-reform pro gram which would not come close to handling the national abuses. His first point proposed barring jurisdictional strikes apparently Just barring them by legislation. Hardly anyone is against that, but it does not touch many unions, or a wide field, or have anything whatever to do with the important issue, which is the Abili ty of so many unions to make an entire nation suffer and decline by cutting off coal in mid winter, electricity, food, transportation. On the big question Mr. Truman said he did not know how to stop strikes. He proposed to stop the little ones directly by legislative banning. The president did have the idea that both sides in the big cases should be prevented from using economic force (meaning tying up the country apparently) but he did not suggest how. On this investigation recommendation congress will not do as he wishes, the prevail ing opinion being that nearly everyone has studied the cause of strikes and . union diffi culties too long already. Trouble-Shooting Suggestion ONLY other trouble-shooting suggestion was to outlaw the secondary boycott in "un just cases" only to stop such things as a truck strike to help a coal strike, or a service strike to help a truck strike, although perhaps this definition goes further than the president would go, as he did not define particularly what he meant. The other proposals to make unions happy by health, welfare, housing and other indirect le'eislation is in general agreeable to all, al though there will be some trouble about social security. But the inspirational underlying point of all this is Mr. Truman is considered a unions' pres ident. A year ago he did not want this much, if any reform legislation. He (if not the unions) is prepared since election to go this far. But the republicans want to go much farther, near ly all of them. Primarily I think they are bent on setting up a government arbitration and con ciliation system to adjudicate strike difficulties in the largest public utilities industries with the provision that no strike can be called until adjudication measures have been tried fully, delaying strike calls 60 days or perhaps more. Mr. Truman did not say how he felt about this, although he wanted mere conciliation. Sen ator Taft thought his omission was promising and held hope he would sign a reform bill this year. No solid ground for such hopes, however, exists. The Case bill failed of two-thirds ma jority by only a few votes, and my best infor mation and belief suggests Mr. Truman will Again find reasons to veto a somewhat stronger bill this spring and that congress will pass it over a veto. Outcome Clear THIS ultimate outcome is certainly a clear prospect at this early writing. Therefore the handholding and cooperating at the outset seemed actually to represent only a democratic attempt to muscle in cooperatively on the re publican program now that the election turned overwhelmingly that way. It represents what the democratic administration if not the unions would take now, since their election defeat, or rather what they would be glad to escape with, if they could. The proffer is unreal for more reasons than can be mentioned in a short column, among them these the republicans have the votes to' act; they have a "mandate" from the public to grant protection; the administration program would only delay action indefinitely longer; it does not touch vital pending issues such as the portal-to-portal pay suits, the Murray CIO de mand for another wage increase, the coming steel difficulties, a union offer to work co operatively, the closed shop, nationally vertical unionism, tax-free union accumulations of wealth, etc. ' In effect then, the handholding represents only a vague offer of compromise after elec toral defeat. The outlook is for a short romance. for apartment houses or auto courts, and for light and for heavy industries.

Don't tell me that's your boss the fellow a big strong man like you doesn't dare ask for a raise!" STATIC Br KELLY ROBERTS It took quite a bit of persua sion to get lucky homestead win ner, Eleanor Jane Bolesta, to the mike on Mac Epley's evening program, "The Managing Editor Reports." last night, and all the persuasion we could muster couldn't get her husband to say a word. By the way it looks like KFLW scored another "scoop" in getting Mrs. Bolesta to speak. Reclamation officials say that radio stations and newspapers alt over the country have been try ing to get an interview from her, but KFLW is first under the wire. You'll find Mrs. Bolcsta's interview elsewhere in today's paper, and a fine picture, too. ABC pops up with a new pro duction tonight at 8:30. It'll be called "Gypsy Nights" and fea tures romantic gypsy airs and a dramatic narrative. Something called a "zymbalon" will provide the musical setting. We've heard of glockenspiels and balalaikas, now we're waiting for the zym balon. The gals in the county clerk's office have been asking how they can ever get Chuck Cecil on the phone for the guess-it-and-take-it feature on his "Stardust Melo dies heard each night over KFLW. As you -may know. Chuck plays a tune and the first person mat calls Olio and gives the correct title, or name of the band, or singer, or both gets the record. The main catch is in get ting anything except the busy signal when you dial the num ber. The lines are usually so crowded that two or more calls arc coming in at the same time over the one line. I've always heard it couldn't happen on a dial set, but it does. The only answer we could give the girls is to do the same as everyone else, dial the 811 part of the number a couple of minutes be forehand and get all ready to dial the last 5 just as the record starts. Then if you don't recog nize . the tune before Chuck answers, hang up and try the next night. Here are a few odds and ends sent into this office for publica tion by optimistic press agents: just to fool them we'll run them. . pst. pry. l-f Here is one marked "Releaso at Will." Will? It states that "More than 3.350,000 babies, the big gest bumper crop in our history, were born in the United States in 1946." They explain thut the new record is largely accounted for by the rapid demobilization of the armed forces. Hmmm.

Three Units On Top, Two See Daylight (Continued From Page One) 686.69: taxes receivable for this purpose total $7569.27; a turn over of $45,000 is to be made im mediately from the city property sales fund. This mokes a total of $758,255.96, or well over the bonded debt and Interest. County Treasurer Langslct said the Klamath Union nigh school debt outstanding is $157, 025, while funds agulnst this total $177,289.05. The KUHS district is therefore well in the clear. School district No. 1 the city elementary district has an out standing debt of $165,928, and a sinking fund of $105,327.43. County unit's outstanding debt is $85,410. and its sinking fund totals $53,903.65. The favorable condition with respect to public bonded debt in the various units is attributed mainly to two causes: Tendency in recent years to finance new projects by pay-as-you-go special levies, rather than interest-bearing bonds. Determined adherence to a program of ample budgeting for debt service, building up sinking funds that wipe out the obliga tions.
