Herat antl3tot The W'HToday till JIXK1XI Editor Today's Round By MALCOLM EPLEY THE withholding tax idea, adopted ome years ago by the federal government, may bo applied to state Income tax collection processes. A bill to establish a i per cent withholding tax. to bo credited against annual income tax payments, has been intro duced in the legislature by the senate assessment and tax ation committee. Main purpose is to collect -, from persons who otherwise may evade Oregon Income tax ation by frequent moving, leav ing the state or other devices which leave the state without the legal tax from their in- EPLEY comes. Such purpose is worthy because it helps provide equality in taxation among the entire earning population. Those who have been paying federal income taxes know also that tho withholding tax has other advantages. While those regular deductions from the paychecks are unpleasant, they do make payment of income taxes much less pain ful than when we "divvy up" in large sums at periodical payment dates. So long as the with holding tax is credited against the total income tax bill, and is not another tax, no one would be hurt (except those who would otherwise evade) and tax-paying would be eased for large numbers of people. We hope, if the state adopts the system, it will make it as simple as possible. There are too many complications in the federal system, but nevertheless, it has worked advantageously to taxpayers on salary or wage basis. Bank Pictures RECENTLY, Portland headquarters of the two big branch banking operations in the state decided at last to permit their scattered branches to give out segregated clearings and deposits figures. It occurs to us that they might now go a bit further in recognizing the individuality of the branches and the fact that each constitutes an institution in a community. For instance, we have noted that the letterheads of the United States National bank's Klamath Falls branch '. bear a picture of the home office building in Portland, rather than the bank's building here. Why not replace that sketch with a picture of the home of the Klamath Falls branch, which is even a better looking building or just as good looking, anyway and is, after all, the U. S. National bank to Klamath Falls people? ' We understand the First National bank letter heads have no pictures. To forestall use of a picture of some building in Portland, we hope they rush on a sketch of the Klamath Falls First National Bank branch. Both bank buildings here are handsome assets of the community. Their pictures on letterheads would be good publicity for the banks and for the town. Soldier Held In Slaying FOR DDC, N. J., Feb. 7 (P) a soiaier said rjy army authori ties to have told of dating Eliza beth Short in Los Aneeles on January 0 four days before the so-called "Black Dahlia" was found slain was held in the Fort Dix stockade Thursday while army authorities await ed word from Los Angeles po lice. Maj. Cornelius T. Morris, post public relations officer, said the soldier, Cpl. Joseph Dumais of - Claremont, N. H., related that after the date his "mind went blank" and the next thing he remembered was being in the Pennsylvania rail road station in New York City. The 29-year-old former com bat infantryman was examined yesterday by a psychiatrist who recommended that he be placed in a hospital, Morris said. Dumais was taken into cus tody on the complaint of an other soldier who told the pro vost marshal he was having trouble getting back money Dumais had accepted for safe keeping. Morris said Dumais mentioned the "Black Dahlia" slaying while being questioned. Miss Short, known to friends as the "Black Dahlia" because of her fondness for black lin gerie, was found dead January 13, in a vacant lot, her nude, mutilated' body severed at the waist. Children from two to 15 years old are most likely to have in fantile paralysis, but people of all ages can have it. Even the core of the apple serves a good purpose these days. The refuse or pomace left after the flesh or juice is used goes in to the making of pectins and stock feed. . FRIDAY EVE., FEB.

The inference is that some delegation within the committee is since one of the western powers asks the question, that delegation must be the Criticize the complete truth. The Rus delay, between March and Sep "statement of principles which the committee has asked of all members. When they did present it, they were criticized for anything. investigation has failed to reveal where any of the others "said anything" either, when they reported in April, but the Russians got the blame and it has clung to them. Since September, however, the committee's stalling has been unanimous. The truth is that, lacking . directives from the security council, the military men have no means of knowing where they are going or what they're supposed to do when they get there. There's a situation in the UN which produces stalling in the whole security field for the time being. To Enforce Peace THE security council, of course, is not charged with making peace, but with enforcing whatever peace is handed to it by the foreign ministers council, which is itself a long way from the end of its job. The military committee is charged with recommending to the security council the force it will need to police whatever peace is finally agreed upon. To expect it to act. at this point is like asking a military staff to prepare for war in a country of which it has never heard, of which no maps are available. The committee has been working behind an elaborate screen of secrecy, but some of its activities are known, even though one delega tion (the Russian) once quit speaking to another for a week because of a relatively minor leak. No general agreements have been reached, not even on the procedural methods the com mittee will use when it does get down to work. The general goal is for an armed force which will, after the nations have contributed their shares, permit them to disarm as Individuals except for small internal forces. There are strong indications that, until this goal is reached, all the talk about general dis armament will produce nothing.

Recalnt ot nunwraua lattaia oi Uia Daritaa-llubarta incldant necasaitalaa condaituulon ot a numtiar ut written commanla which hava baan received, to aaaure timely publication. Mrs. Dorothy Willis, 1221 Crescent: This is a protest uf the brutal shooting of Donald G. Roberts oy tno jaw ciuorccmcnt oincvr. Is the much publicized grand jury going to investigate. ... It would seem timely as there wore plenty of witnesses, some of whom could have been shot very easily themselves. Evidently Mr, Buines is a good shot or he wouldn't have taken the chance of killing some innocent by stander or maybe he just doesn't care. ... 1 am ot the opinion that the law enforcement agencies have no more authority to shoot at a person with the intent to kill than did our military police who guarded prisoners of war. They were under orders to shoot over their heads first and If that failed to shoot at their legs. This, how ever, doesn't seem to be the policy of our law in this city and it seems they have authority which overrules the U. S. gov ernment. Where do they get this authority? . . . In reference to Roberts being sane, that is a matter ... for a psychiatrist who has spent ma:iy years studying the human brain. From what I have heard of this case the deceased surely didn't act sane. I don't believe such action on anyone's part should just go by the board and be forgotten; let's remember the incident next elec tion day. ... P. C. Cuttsey, General De livery: Why don't the officials hire qualified men for police officers and not anything that comes along. The members back ground should be looked into and also how they set themselves up as examples. Many on the force now, especially the young er ones, are rude and antagonis tic, and nothing can be explained to them. What really brought me about to write this was my aroused anger when the chief of police told us to move on when the prisoner got shot and killed the other day on the courthouse lawn. Does he realize that we are in a democracy and freedom of speech is guaranteed to us by the constitution? Maybe he should read it over some time. Much blood has been shed by wars by Americans to keep it mat way. What should be done now is to clean house of many of the in competent officers and send the brighter ones to police school so that they could hold their jobs down to the satisfaction of citi zens. . . . Harry Martin, Merrill: i In the case of the law versus Roberts, by way of the long gun arm of Deputy Marion Barnes, would like to call attention to a few phases of the contro versy now appearing in publica uon. ine point brought out by relatives about the responsibil ity of law enforcement officers to see mat young uoberts irre sponsibility be guarded against in handling such prisoners. Isn't this same thing met with con tinually in handling individuals of society who get afoul of the law? Irresponsibility, that's just it. In protecting the balance of the public from acts of indi vidual irresponsible members, deputies cannot be brain ana lysts putting themselves above the law, above the legal head and technical experts. If relatives realized that Rob erts was off the beam, then tried as hard as possible to keep him out of trouble, then they did their duty and should not cen sure themselves or the law. . . , If Marion Barnes hadn't been 100 per cent efficient and loval to his duties, regardless of pub lic comment, Roberts would have escaped . I have known Marion Barnes for many years to be a kind, con siderate human being type of of- nccr wno would never be severe unless put definitely on the spot. Yes, imagine yourself being put on the spot where Deputy Barnes was and see if you would have the necessary strength of character, presence of mind, quick thinking, cool accuracy, any lack of which could easily have resulted in escape or a lot of wild shooting, endangering several innocent citizens, as is many times the case. in nis position. Marion Barnes deserves understanding instead of insinuations. Nora Anderson, Box 683, City: Just read Lloyd Low's state ment in the paper tonight and the attitude he has taken. . . In my opinion, us taxpayers should clean out the courthouse before another man is shot in the back. ... Because Mr. Barnes has the authority to pack a gun is no reason why he shouln take a Dot- shot out among a bunch of peo ple, if he is such a poor shot as to aim at a man s feet and shoot him in the back it doesn't look like he cares. In order for the protection of the public, why not handcuff these fellows when going br k and forth to court, especially when handling such desperadoes as Mr. Roberts, as Lloyd Low and the chief of po lice wish us to believe. . . . Why don't we get somebody in the iuvenile office that is capa ble of handling juveniles, in stead of somebody who thinks more ot having a good time than Bob's Laundryette At 1719 Main ' Phone 9234 SELF-SERVICE LAUNDRY setting a good example for Juveniles. If tho taxpayers are to pay for parasites to set in office, I think we should have something to say when a poor defenseless man is shot in tile back. Jumcs W, Thorpe, Klamath Falls: Tho great and burning ques tion beioi'o tho pcoplo today is: How lur is SO slops? It entirely supersedes the ago-old puzzle of how old is Ann. A citizen was shot In tho back and killed recently from a dis tance of these 30 steps. It said so right in The Herald-News. Tho report miitht havo been mure specific and suid that it was quite a way, or a "fur piece," but it didn't, U said flatly that it was 30 steps and thus caused tho crying need for re search to find Just how far 30 steps is. In most areas distance is meas ured by ells, cubits, spans, leagues, versts, chuins, furlongs, fathoms and many othor units of measure. But Webster throws no light on tho subject, nor does Funk and Wagnul. Something will have to be done. It is tho consensus of all fac tious that the victim was at flank speed and high-tailing it with might and main with the obvious intent of leaving his past and the deputy behind him. But tha deputy, who seems to be an en emy of progress, housed out his iron and shot him through tho back at a distance of 30 steps (10 feet to 100 yards). It appears that the target had not been proven guilty of anything, but was charged with using a car without the owner's consent. Further, it was stressed that he hud been beast enough to bo con victed ot vagrancy In the state of Iowa at the age ot 13. Further bestiality and degeneration was evidenced when he slept on tho floor In court, which is strictly against precedent, protocol and the laws of diminishing returns and supply and demand. An examination of a picture of the scene shows that the of ficer fired in a direction that would have carried the pellet di rectly up Main street in case of a near miss. This would have been somewhat risky if the steps of a running man are estimated at the usual six to seven feet. But at 10 feet tho very vertebrae to be punctured could have been chosen by the officer who de clined handcuffs and did not deign to fire in the air a time or two. which is a common prac tice. But the copper in his role of Judge, Jury and executioner decided that once loose he could not be recaptured by city, state, county and federal police, and so killed him. He had gone to sleep in court that was enough. . . . But even with this In mind some people were so contrary as to think that such a killing was uncalled for. and grouped and refered to the officer as being a this ana a mat in ioua ana strident terms. But they were toM to shut iid and disperse and after some delay did so. Had our duly elected sheriff ordered a few of them shot at 30 steps there would have been no such a delay next time. Such ovcr-klnd-ness is unseemly. An officer must do his duty let the blood fly where it may. editor's Note: A tteo or para la usually construed aa SO inches, inquest taatlmony was that tha snooting occurred at frotn 00 to 75 feat. Thirty paces of 30 Inches each would oa 79 feat. C. Wayne Chase, Klamath Falls: This shouldn't be to the Editor, but rather to the people of Klam ath County. In the past day or so, there has been considerable talk, loud and low, about the action taken by Deputy Marlon Barnes in regards to the death of Donald Roberts. I honestly believe that most of this talking is being done with out much thought on the part of the parties doing the taiKing. i Marlon Barnes is a peace oin ccr, and an officer of the law, with a sworn duty to perform, if Barnes had of let Roberts gotten i away from him when he made his mad dash for freedom, the Sheriff's office would have been criticized to the utmost by the very same people who are now criticizing the action that was taken. What would you, I, or anyone else in Deputy Barnes' position have done, if confronted with the situation he was, with a split second to decide right from wrong, 9 out of 10 people will not or can't "answer this ques tion, put yourself in Barnes' po sition with a duty to perform, Barnes carried out his duty, and that's all there is to it. Mrs. A. Wood, 4811 Harlan Drive: I have been wondering if It Isn't about time that KF should have a general clean-up of some of our employes in the court house. ... It looks like it would have been a lot safer for the people to have permitted Mr. Roberts to escape than to trust Mr. Barnes out on Main street with a gun when he is not quali fied to shoot a man in the foot 30 steps ahead but hits his heart instead. For myself. I see no reason why the man should have been shot at all. After reading the paper, he don't sound like a very dangerous person. . . Maybe some one new might of been man enough to outrun this terrible desperado instead of shooting him In cold blood.
