TOO many damaged, poor quality potatoes
bearing the Klamath and Tulelake names
are being offered on the retail market of tht
bay area, our principal market.
That is the report of Bryant
Williams, of Henley and Eldon
Larson of Tulelake, who made
a special market survey in the
bay district as representatives
of the Klamath Potato Grow
ers association and the Tule
laka Growers.
The investigators found
Klamath basin potatoes still in
good demand among consumers
down there, but they warned
that our potatoes cannot con
tinue indefinitely to ride on
the reputation established by Klamath spuds in
past years when better standards of quality were
maintained. They have to be good, when of
fered to the retailer, if they are going to hold
theirprestige. ; ; .
Several factors enter , into this situation.
Grading Standards within the production area
were relaxed during the war period, when there
was tremendous pressure for production and
the demand would take anything and every
thing available. Carelessness and rough handling
cause potatoes to deteriorate in quality between
shipping point and the retail store. There is
more than a strong suspicion here that grades
are frequently mixed down south before the
potatoes are offered to the public.
County Agent Charley Henderson has com
mented to us that the Klamath potato industry
is entering a new era. The first 20 years or
so have passed, and the industry is now facing
problems that are not serious in a new pro
duction district. From here on out, it will be
necessary to make determined effort toward the
maintenance of quality which was achieved .
without such effort in the early production
years.
I
Measures Considered
GROWERS are discussing such measures as
these:
Tighten up harvest, grading and handling
. practices.
' Keep a clot watch on the situation in the
qiarket area to insure against grade mixing
and other practices damaging to the prestige
: if Klamath's spuds.
-! Put carefully graded potatoes in packages
her that will b the packages in which they
ar offered to consumers on the metropolitan
markets.
; Establish . grading and packaging facil
ities in the market area for Klamath potatoes.
' Adopt basin-wide projects to stamp out pests
and disease and generally protect and de
velop the quality of the product.
Fundamentally, the Klamath basin potato sit
uation is sound as a nut. The land, water and
climatic conditions have all been proved, and
we have a fine product within easy proximity of
a great and expanding market to the south.
Furthermore, the general quality of the farmers
of this basin is high: they are men with the
resources and capacity to tackle and lick the
problems which arise as the industry goes into
its adulthood.
i '
Homestead Delay
THERE are definite indications of over-reluctance
on the part of the reclamation
bureau to come out with the facts about the
Tulelake homestead allotments.
; t has now been several weeks since the
screening of the selectees in the December 18th
drawing. The homestead examining board has
completed its work, and 10 rejections have been
made. The rejectees have appealed, and their
appeals have been before the appeal officer
more than long enough to reach a decision.
And yet, . final announcement has not been
made, and the successful applicants have not
yet been notified.
iThis is late February. These people are ex
pected to go on the land this production year.
It takes time and effort for them to undertake
a new enterprise such as this, and it is unfair
to cause them further delay.
The bottleneck appears to be in the regional
office at Sacramento.

PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 20 Much talk of
an anticipated depression can be heard
from business leaders, financial people and
economic observers down this way, but you
will not see any signs of it. The lament of
Floridians at the prospects of a poor season be
came so loud a month ago, it thundered around
the country. Hotel occupancy, according to
Zephyrs in Washington, was off 40 per cent
from last year. Common talk held that while
the hotels had been booked to capacity, the
reservations were not being taken. People did
not appear or send cancellations.
The implication was the public was much
more wary of Its money, and to a considerable
extent at least, this is no doubt true. You can
see this trend in all lines.
But, it is also true an influx of travelers
southward along about the latter part of January
considerably made up any deficiency in hotel
occupancv. Even before that it was evident to
the naked eye the vacation business was hardly
off 40 per cent in volume. Twice as many
cars were parked outside most hotels, and
others operated at normal capacity throughout
the entire season.
Strong Level
A GOOD place to measure how fast cash is
moving is the race tracks in a vacation
country. The state dog racing commission re
ported' increased wagering of $2 167.42 1 in the
first third of this season (totals $31,188,050 this
year as compared with $29,020,629 last. The
famous Hialeah race track had a slow start In
both attendance and betting, but will close only
about 10 per cent below last year. The dog
tracks were above last year by about 6 per cent
m the last published figures. One golf course
had 200 players in a single day and a nearby
notel was filled to the limit of 650 people.
Miami real estate transactions are above 1946.
The Florida barometer of sport spending as a
whole therefore, is apt to register at the end
Tracer strong level, which is certainly far
from depression forecasts at any rate.
For general commercial business, it is a little
different story. Dealers are skittish about
prices. In a smoking car me oiner nay -
was telling his friend a typical story. He said
his strongest competitor had called him In
New York the day before he left and offered
to sell him his own line of goods at bargain
rates. He thought someone was fooling, but
went over to find the competitor had stocked
rather high at high prices and was afraid to
hold on. The offer was legitimate and he
bought - . . .
Furthermore, customers also are beginning
to assert themselves in contra-distinction to the
recent war days when they had to take what
was offered at the price demanded and prob
ably stand in line to get it. Retail trade is ad
justing itself accordingly. ,
Dominant Labor Issue
THE larger enterprises (and people generally
also.) seem to be waiting to see what the
republicans will do about the labor situation.
This is a dominant point at issue among people
who depend on business because the many
proffered remedies have not yet jelled. In this
connection also, some shrewd local political
observers from states not far away tell me
Mr. Truman's popularity is not in their estima
tion today anywhere near as strong as the polls
have suggested or in . fact as strong as on
election day when it was rather surprisingly
low. The plain fact is, no matter how you dis
guise it, the majority of the public looks on
Mr. Truman as a unions president, a little too
sympathetic to union pressures for the popular
majority good.
The labor resolutions being offered down this
way are many and varied, along the lines being
promoted in Washington. I would judge senti
ment to outlaw the closed shop is perhaps some
what stronger than it is in Washington. But
whatever method you favor, the common popu
lar demand is for an effective means to rein
the union revolution in to the field of reason.
The majority apparently does not want to break
the unions or their rights for collective bargain
ing, but they want to stop union domination
of the economic situation, and union power
to tie up the country at the personal direction
of any one of dozens of arbitrary leaders.
If the republican legislation falls short . of
this, it will be disappointing to the country.
On the other hand, nearly any remedy which
will do the job will be popular.
. My personal opinion is that the republicans
never move fast or sensationally, but their
remedy is apt to prove effective for this very
reason. Current discussions should melt down
to valid action to satisfy popular demand, with
out fear of union leaders or playing into the
hands of business.

SUGGESTION
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.. (To
the Editor) During the past
two days I have heard much
criticism of our fire department.
I do not criticize the men for I
think they did the best they
could with the equipment they
had. Even at the risk of their
own lives, they entered that
blazing inferno. The criticism,
if there be any, rests with each
one of us for not providing more
adequate fire fighting equip
ment. . I noticed that there were
only two ladders which reached
to the third story windows; none
that reached the roof, at least
none on the front or side of the
building.
One person made the remark
that the apartments were not
equipped with a fire alarm sys
tem. This was a foolish remark
born of ignorance, for all hotels
and apartment houses must be
equipped, with a fire alarm sys
tem. In this case everyone was
asleep and by the time they
were awake, the alarm system
could not be set off because the
halls were apparently too hot
for anyone to enter and break
the glass which would set off
the alarm. This same tragedy
could be repeated in any num
ber of other places in our city.
In the lumber mills around
here, they have an automatic
alarm which start a sprinkler
system. Why not apply this
same principle to our fire alarm
systems? A few thermostats
would automatically set off the
alarm. These thermostats could
be located in a number of strate
gic places about the building so
that before a fire could possibly
make much headway, the alarm
would automatically sound and
waken the people u they were
asleep.
Let us not be so free with our
criticism of our brave fire fight
ers but let us all strive for some
solution to these terrible trage
dies.

FOR SALES TAX
' KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.. (To
the Editor) Many have asked
me my opinion of the sales tax.
Well, I voted against it before,
but this time I am voting for it;
not with any enthusiasm, how
ever. The reason Is, it makes every
one contribute to public expense.
Many people do not own their
the other. Both the local stations
begin with the letters "KF,"
Klamath Falls. Others are:
KASToria, KeUGeNe, KMED
ford, KOOS Bay, KSaLcM,
KBaKeR, and KBeND. Other
stations try to get the owner's
name into the call letters, for
instance KWJJ, which was
ownen by Wilbur J. Jerman.
Others derive from the town's
motto or slogan, such as KWRC,
Pendleton, the World's Round
up City.
The American Broadcasting
company, ABC, now boasts a to
tal of 243 radio stations in its
network. Seven new stations
will be added to the chain soon;
they are KULA, Honolulu;
WQAM, Miami; WHOO, Or
lando, Fla.; WBEC, Pittsficld,
Mass.; WELM, Elmira, N. Y.;
WCRO, Johnstown, Pa.; and
KFSA, Fort Smith, Ark.

make and pay no laxiti. As for
; reducing the rcul estate tuxes, I
! don't believe it. Relatives in
botli Washington and California
tell me their taxes are no lower
than they were before the sales
tax.
The fact of the matter is. the
"higher ups" arc always looking
for means to get people's money,
People would not object to
taxes if the money was used
legitimately For instance: the
teachers' salaries. They have
been getting no more than com
mon laborers. There is always
efforts to raise salaries of police
men, firemen and other public
servants, but little to raise
teachers' pay. The teachers are
little appreciated. We blame
them for striking, yet say little
when laborers strike.
I don't think the sales tax
would go through if put up to a
referendum, but It should.
People of Oregon seem to vote
against any measure that makes
more taxes.

METER OBJECTION
BONANZA, Ore. (To the Ed
itor) In regards to the parking
meters that the city of Klamath
Falls so obligingly installed:
These one-armed bandits are
a menace to the farmer, who
spends most of his income on
Main street in Klamath Falls.
In order to do this he must move
hist car several times during the'
day to complete his business. '
This is expensive when you
must put a nicklc in these
greedy mouths every hour, for
fear of being delayed and being
fined before you are able to
return and put in another
nickle.
I don't believe it's right to
have to pay the city for the prill
lege of parking my car. As the
average farm family spends
around $2000 or more a year on
Main street with the merchants
of Klamath Falls.
Within six months city people
will be able to vote, whether
these one-armed bandits are here
to stay or not. If to stay I will
be through spending money on
Main street in Klamath Falls. I
will do all the buying I can on
Bth street, and if some clothing
merchants do not move out on
6th street we can trade else
where, or with thriving mail or
der firms, who would appreciate
our business, I'm sure, without
us first paying them a tax, in
order to spend our money with
them.
From then on it will be un
necessary to park on Main
street.
If the farmers are expected to
help maintain the city of Klam
ath Falls, then why not let the
city pay a tax to help farmers
pay for irrigation systems.
This would only be fair and
would be beneficial to all.
Yours truly.

WlthdrawaT of Mother Eng
land from the Indian einplro,
which has been promised by
Britain as a complement to the
grant of independence, will of
course bring to fruition the
dream of generations of liberty
seeking natives but it will also
place upon a relatively Inex
perienced government a tremen
dous responsibility not only for
organization but for mainte
nance of order among the 400,
000,000 people of a sub-continent
afflicted with racial, poli
tical and religious strife.
Indian leaders generally re
cognize the trials and perils
ahead of them, as I know from
conversations with thvm during
my visits to Indie. Indeed, while
many including my old friend
Mahatma Gandhi insist on the
withdrawal of England lock-stock-and-barrel,
yet there are
others who would like to see the
mother country remain in an ad
visory and protective, capacity
during Die early days of the new
government. Among the latter Is
Mahomed All Jlniuili, brilliant
head of the All-India Moslem
league. He has told me em
phatically that it was essential
for Britain to stay until an
Indian government was a going
concern.
Governmental Problem
One of the greatest problems
will be to bring British India
and the autive state together
under one federal government,
British India comprises the pro
vinces which have their own
governors and legislatures and
are under the central govern
ment at New Delhi; the native
states are some 800 semi-autonomous
units which are ruled by
the princes.
Many of these princes occupy
thrones hundreds of years old,
and have the power of lifo and
death over their subjects. The
wealth of a lot of them Is literal
ly so vast they they haven't the
slightest idea of what It amounts
to. I've been the guest of some
of them in their palaces' and
have seen heaps of precious
gems which would dazzle the
sun.
Naturally these potentates are
Jealous of their possessions and
Krcrogatives. England horself
as borne this in mind in deal
ing with them, and the king
emperor lias been the strongest
link between the princes and tho
British government. With the
withdrawal of England, these
proud maharajnh and the also
proud native statesmen of Brit
ish India will have to find ways
and means of amalgamating
their interests.
So fur os the British govcrii-
ment is concerned, it has made it
clear that when it departs from
India the princes will be left to
their own devices. They no
longer will owe allegiance to
the emperor.
On the face of it that would
seem to creato an impossible
situation and Indeed it could. -
One good sign is that the
princes already have offered to
work with British India in the
establishment of the new re
gime. That in itself doesn't In
sure success, of course, but It Is a
hopeful development.
