Letters To The Editor - INDIAN QUESTION (Indiam) "On mov into so ciety aalely," eald Krug. Shall we laugh or cry? Sixty years ago there were Indian families liv ing in Klamath Falls, Medford and Ashland, Indian men and women earning their living be cause they too enjoyed the good things of life. On the reserva tion there were cattle, horses, good houses, farming imple ments, good wagons and harness. No word or help from an Indian bureau. Indian homes in the towns were the same as his neighbors. In those days if an Indian wanted a bottle of liquor, he bought it. In the saloon, many Indians drank and. visited with their friends. At the dances and social gatherings Indians were welcome on their own merits. At the county fairs in Klamath Falls, Fourth of July celebra tions at Fort Klamath, Indians danced, played ball, raced their horses with the whites and not in Indian costume. Then came the Umber sales. The sheep men came for cheaper grazing. One superintendent stood on the wagon tongue at an open air council and with arm upraised cried, "I see the dawn of the coming day for the Klam ath Indian, sell your cattle and timber, lease vour Brazing land to the sheepmen and live off the proceeds." Mnv Hid sell their cattle, many had timber holdings which they sold and the big day was on. Another superintendent said, "Pay big per capita:, keep them In money , and they'll leave us lone." Then came the leaner days lt Different. 1 M 0NOIUHtvV IL!lLiJ0r.ctiT ST I and another superintendent said, "Anyone giving credit to an In dian should lose their bills." To an Indian a bill was an obliga tion, his father and grandfather before him had paid their bills. Do we have to mention the mer chants who had grown wealthy from the honesty of tnese omer Indians? I think not. The Indian bureau thinks .this reservation belongs to them, but seems to have no regard for expenditure. I wish those men who 6igned that treaty for 20 years, and I mean 20 years, could see what has become of their efforts. If they in all honesty expected to read and write and meet the white man's terms in 20 years, they who went to the Agency and demanded books for learn ing, would they laugh or cry? Two years ago the present super intendent promised in council the $1000 bill now pending. "I nromise. let no man tell you different, you'll get your thou sand dollars. As I look from my farmhouse window I see seven homes, four of these are Indian, and if you didn't know you would not be able to tell which is which. MRS. BEN MURPHY. TAYLOR ACT ATTACKED KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) I invite your at tention to the copies of letters here with, showing that on Jan uary 1. 1934, just prior to the passage of the national Taylor Grazing Act on June zh, laj-i, there were 24,841,000 sheep and lambs on farms and on the range in the . eleven western states; 12.271.000 cattle, and 1.879.000 horses: whereas, on Januarv 1, 1945, there were 17,821,000 sheep; 13,446,000 cattle and 1.360,000 horses. You will see that the number of sheep in the eleven western states has decreased some since the enactment of the Tay lor Grazing Act. There has been about an equal decrease for gracious Valentine giving!

You will remember that ex- Secrctary of the Interior, Har old L. Ickcs, and the rest of his starry-eyed do-gooders, as sured the open-mouthed and wondering American people, when the Taylor Act was passed, that Just a few years of "conservation" of the ranges would enable them to support a greatly increased number of cattle, sheep and horses. We now have had some 13 years of the glorious icxes- Roosevelt conservation, with the result shown by the above figures which were procured bv me from the Department of Agriculture of the State of Ore gon, which in turn secured them from the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. If Argentina. Chili. Peru. Australia and New Zealand had had the privilege of dictating a law that would ruin me live stock business of the United States and redound to their ad vantage, they could not have asl cd for anything better than the Taylor Act. resDectfully submit to you that the Act should be repealed in its entirety.' T nlcn hnnri vnu a mnv or. the letter of the Department of ' Agriculture of the State of Ore gen. ' dated January 17. 1947, shrwing that whereas we had 2.425.000 sheep and lambs in Oregon on January 1. 1934, the glorious Ickes - Kooseveu con servation in Oregon has re duced this number on January 1. 1946, to 881,000. or a de crease or some 3i in me number of sheep in this stale. Roughlv, Klamath County,' Ore gon, had some 170.000 sheep in 1934 betore me rayior fici was oassed. whereas now it has only some 40,000. I respectfully suDmii mat u i hieh time somethinu was done about this. Oregon s tax able wealth has been dimin ished annually about $23,160, 000.00 by conservation of the Ickes-New Deal type. ' The administration of the Act since its passage has run in the red. The only thing the Tavlor Act accomplished was to give us a swarm of federal bureaucrats who ' have eaten out the substance of the people of the western states. It is re spectfully submitted that the Act should be blotted from our federal statutes. Yours truly, J. H. CARNAHAN. 211-15 IOOF Building. Editors not lift U more comment In i-muleiwed form on the llarnei Koberta ahooUna ewe, A number of reader have complained thu arau tneitl la selling reuetlllout and Ure mint, and tht will conclude our lue of letlera on the subject unleu tome on hat omelhliu entirely new to contribute. A. R. Trlplett Barnes is hu man, not a robot, but a family man, a pioneer of this commun ity, controlled by the same emo tions as the rest of us. It is naturally easy to tell some one else how to do it, but if we were in Barnes' shoes, what would we have done? ... My sympathy to the Roberts family, I understand their feelings. , . . I express my feelings to Marion Barnes. ... it is ronrciiuuiu n had to shoot in order to slop his prisoner. A. E. Bowen. 907 Wlard Is our law enforcing body going to say they can't apprehend a man, unarmed and wearing a pair of bedroom slippers without shoot ing him. ... If this is our police force's way of telling citizens of Klamath county that they are on the ball, I don't think it will work. ... I am a vet. ... I didn't fight for this. G. Woodward, Klamath Falls I don't know Barnes but can't see where he could have done otherwise It is his duty to see no one escapes. . . . Herman Stilwell, lois tiomo dale I have been walking up and down Klamath streets for 16 years, but now I feel like I should have a steel Jacket, be cause we have a man carrying a gun who does not hesitate to shoot on or across streets. Mrs. W. T. McGaughey, 340 Martin It seems amazing to me that there are people who re gard the- taking of human life as "so much water under the Elmer Bennett, luamam xaus .. . . Savace callousness ana atrocious treatment ... is due to lack of standards ol puouc responsibility on the Dart ol of ficials, business men and clergy of the community. . . . Whether the women of Klamath fans will civilize us before the atomic bomb atomizes us is the ques tion. DOZENS OF DOGS KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To the Editor) May I use a little space in your paper to broad cast an eloquent plea to dog owners of Klamath Falls? The dogs come by the dozens, they are black and white and red and yellow, short and tall and there Is just about every breed known to mankind. They park on my front porch onH rir us to interfere with the privilege. The object of ihr-ir affection was a female nninter i called Lady suk. &ne has gone to the pound because she proved nerseu no iaay. oui still they come and any at tempt to discourage their visits is rewarded with snarls and ciicnirinn. So please, folks, if you love your pets, call them home, as It is impossible to know which dog belongs to whom. I would like to quote Miss Parker, principal of Conger school,.' in her request that "dogs be not allowed to go to school, as some of them are nuitfk vicious." I have a nice set of teeth marks I got from a black chow when I insisted he leave my rwarrh You might have a friendly little talk with some of the Big Fellows and explain that she djidv Silk) iust doesn't live here anv more. What's more, they have definitely worn .out their welcome. Yours sincerely. MRS. DICK PITMAN, 1711 Modoc street.

(To Editor) What's this I hear about some of the local merchants go ing to fight our new parking meters? I don't set to spend a great deal of time downtown, but I do appreciate being able to find a place to park, those few mo ments that l am in town. Besides, it nets the city a very tidy income without a new bunch of tax forms to fill out. My only suggestion is that they put another row of them down the middle ol tne street ior tnose that insist on double parking. As for the merchants and their big trucks, do they not still have alleys behind the stores? Or have these been closed? I've had no occasion to look for one, but I believe the alleys are still there. If so, why not the trucks? What else are the alleys for? Tbe merchants open tneir places of business to the public only a few hours each day, so,- II tney must use tne streets tor receiving supplies, let them do so at hours that do not hamper and impede the normal affairs of the shopping public.

(To the Editor) At the PTA meet ing held Wednesday at Henley school a committee was appoint ed to see if anything could be done regarding the accidents which are occurring and have occurred to children getting on school buses. At present there is an Inade quate law requiring cars to not exceed 13 miles per nour wnen passing a school bus which has stopped to discharge children this is not emorcea ior odvious reasons. We believe if a law could be Dased reauiri.il! cars to come to a stop and the driver report the license number of all who failed to conform it could be en forced. The few exceptions could be fined sufficient to make it de sirable to stop. We would like all city and county groups to immediately take action and write our legis lators demanding a bill be passed. It is not only to save the Uvea of our children, but those who in the future will be riding school buses. Henley fta. Suggestion KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To the Editor) A slow-down signal is badly needed at South Sixth street and Wiard. South Sixth traffic moves at high speed through that Intersection, which is heavily used by pedestrians and has considerable cross-traffic. Wiard is the only street In the suburban area which crosses South Sixth. I do not believe the situation calls for a stop-and-go signal ye', but an intermittent amber or red light hung over the inter section should be effective in slowing down traffic at that dangerous point. Many children cross South Sixth at this point as well as considerable pedestrian traffic bound for business houses lo cated there. Let's not wait until we have a tragedy at this point before do ing something about it. Keith P. Fields. FOR SALE SEED POTATOES Grown In Utah, 5200 Ft. ELEVATION. VIRGIN SOIL.
