M M jraar aa.ua r drd Today's Roundup Bj MALCOLM CPLEY LOCAL expressions of sentiment on a state tales tax, heard during preliminary discus sion of this important state issue, usually have been auaiuiea wun me com ment that "it must be an offset to real property taxes." The measure which the house assessment and taxation committee voted to introduce K M uutan4ml 0 f 111 V mMta thftt I V H qualification. Half of the $24.- J 1 ooo.OOO or so it would raise 1 I would be given to the counties, f) I cities and school districts as a y I property tax offset, and the other half would go to the state general fund to be used EPLEY to offset the state property wx. In addition to these offsets against the burden some taxes on real property, the proposed measure also carries reductions in income taxes. These provisions are a pointed answer to the usual criticism of the sales tax to the effect that It would be "Just another tax" and would be an added burden Instead of relief to taxpayers. That cry cant justifiably be directed at this measure. As a matter of fact, the question might be raised as to whether this tax provides enough new revenue to meet the pressing de mands upon the state so much in evidence at this session of the legislature. It Is largely an offset measure. But at any rate, It does offer much In the direction of equitable distribution of the tax burden. As planned, It will be up for a vote in November at special election, giving ample time for thorough public discussion of the issues involved. a New Homesteaders r MORROW, 86 new Klamath farmers will select the land they will operate as a result of their good luck in the December homestead drawing and subsequent screenings. On Saturday, the homesteaders will be wel comed with appropriate ceremonies and hos pitality demonstrations at Tulelake, which hence forth will be their home town" and mail ad dress. Establishment of 86 new farms hi our basin is of economic significance. It means 86 new farm families making a living from the fertile soil of the Klamath country.. At the usually accepted ratio, that will be a population of 844 persons. Some of the people already live here, of. course, but most of them are new - comers. They will build homes, and barn structures, acquire farm equipment, patronize the business houses of the area for all of the things needed for living and for operating going agricul tural enterprise. Furthermore, these will be independent peo ple, owning and operating their own farm business.' .. What happens on the Tulelake homestead area in the next few months will be indicative of what agricultural development can mean to the economic future of the Klamath country. Our apologies to the Bend Bulletin for inad vertent failure to credit yesterday's "guest edi torial" on reclamation charges to that paper. The editorial presumably was written by Editor Publisher Bob Sawyer of Bend, president of the National Reclamation association. . - News Behind The News Br PAUL MALLON PALM BEACH, Fla., March 12 These' are strange times. - The stock market did not go up at the news of the republican election victory. It did not go up when the administra tion reduced margin requirements, or at the Lewis supreme court decision. Plainly it re fuses to react favorably to what it would call good news. Yet it is sensitive on the downside, falling last week at mildly bad possibilities, and Indeed falling occasionally when there are no visible reasons. I asked a man who knows to explain tills to me. Why does the market not' follow events? His reply was substantially this: Stocks are widely held but stockholders are no longer fooled by news as easily as in former days. The value of a stock is simply what it is worth, and It is worth today no more than the economic situation of the country and that situation was not changed at the republican elec tion, and has not been changed yet. ' Further more it is too large a factor in the value of stocks to be Influenced very much by a re duction of margin requirements, merely making it easier to buy stocks. On the under-side of the matter, "stockholders are sensitive themselves to the failures to cor rect economic defects, or delays in correction. The longer this goes on, the more sensitive they will be. The stock market, then, Is right, he says. Illogical as it may seem on the surface, O.e market view is really sound. What could correct this situation, I asked my friend. What developments would the mar ket consider to be effective? His reply was that if the republicans got together in congress and Issued a statement saying this will be done and that will not be done that the economic situation will be taken hold of in a firm leadership grasp, then the market might consider the prospect of ef fective leadership to be realistic and sound, t-nd stocks might go up. a a Gel Together BETTER yet, if Truman and the republican leaders get together on a statement saying they will quit playing politics and recognize the condition of the country to be an incipient crisis as it is, people might be convinced that some confidence is worth while concerning fu ture developments. . But as long as they continue fighting each other over such comparatively minor issues as Bilbo, two terms for presidents, investigating war profits and dragging out in squabbles the consideration of such Important matters to the economy as budget cutting and tax reduction, they will never get anywhere. They are both playing politics when politics should be entirely avoided. The democrats are running Truman for presi dent again 20 months ahead of time. (See Hanne gan and Clark statements recently.) They act as if they had not lost an election at all, as if there were no dissatisfaction in the country whatsoever, and indeed they have made a Gallup poll believe Truman is popular enough to get re-elected although he has not done a single, solitary remedial thing. Why the republicans have not succeeded in taking any action even on Bilbo (my friend went on.) They are getting sucked into lend ing money to save British interests around the world while doing nothing about our own. The democrats are' sucking them in on everything, or trying to and succeeding to a degree which obstructs action. The republican election victory should have re-established two party government This is the essence of democracy. Whenever you get a one party government it is a totalitarian dicta torship, no matter what you call It We had that under Roosevelt Men of brains and people without them were both afraid to speak their minds. There was no opposition party. The late president did not allow one to exist. . Sense Needed nUT two party government definitely does not O ' mean that all progress be nullified in po litical wrangling. It assumes both parties will have some sense. Unless they do you might as well have a dictatorship for at least you will get somewhere, even if it is not where you want to go. Both party leaderships so far have been shortsighted and predominantly political' in nature; therefore self-nullifying. I left my friend with the feeling he had been a little harsh on the slow moving and devious politicos in Washington. But I also left with the knowledge firmly established that the re publicans do not enjoy the support of the con servatives, at least not a certain highest if not very influential segment of it, which we seldom see in Washington. The republicans, it seems again (as I have observed before,) merely won a leadership opportunity to do something and have not yet done it At any rate I found the answer to the riddle which has long puzzled me of why the stock market does not react normally. . STATIC By KELLY ROBERTS Bingsday evening again, this time featuring Don Neal and the 5 lay-offs for the state basket all championship direct from McArthur court in Eugene. The first game broadcast will be the Pelican - Lebanon game. If the Pels win their first tilt, Don wiU be back Thursday to broadcast the next step in the Pels' cham pionship climb. a In the meantime, while the game tonight is being broadcast, transcriptions of the Bing Cros by and Henry Morgan shows will be made, for replaying im mediately after the game. Bing will preview St. Patrick's day with a medley of songs from the Auld Sod. a a a Morgan will probably preview something in his "Theatre of Coming Attractions," in any case we most certainly shall not try to preview Morgan. a a a - A f (r)iend in the radio depart ment, Charlie McFarlan, handed us the following little set of words and asked us to punctuate it with commas so that it made sense. He added something about us not even being able to punc tuate the stuff we write, much less anything anyone else wrote, but we casually ignored his re marks. Here it is, can you do it? "That that is is is that that is is is not that that is not that that is not is not that that is is is it it is not that that is is is is is it not it is." He claims that it can be done and will prove it on a broadcast Now I'm looking for something to stump him, which shouldn't be too hard consider ing his mentality. a a Platter-chatter We spent a couple of minutes the other day annoying our favorite record salesgal and came up with a few tips on good bits. The Joe Mooney trio has made its second pressing with "Warm Kiss and Cold Heart" on one side, and 'Tea for Two" on the other. The more you hear of Mooney. the more Mooney one wants to hear. We notice that more and more of the old pressings are getting popular once again like old Glen Miller, Glen Gray, Artie Shaw and Harry James recordings.

MBS Nawi MBS KFJI Featara The World Today Br DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Senator Arthur Vandcnberg, commenting to newsmen on tlio proposed American loan to Greece, has called attention to the viewpoint that this "is not an isolated phase but may prove to be symbolic of general pulley which may have to be pursued all around the world Inasmuch as the same fundamentals are in volved in so many situations." That is to say, Greece Is far from being the only country i:i which the interests of Russia and the western democracies have collided head-on. We've seen it in other parts of Europe for instance in the case oi Turkey and the Dardanelles and in the Far East in such hot spots as Korea. Thus if Uncle Sam decides to deal with all cases on a similar basis, he will have a global job on his hands. The possible development of such a complicated situation is wnat tnis column nao in minci yesterday when it advanced the idea that the time assuredly has arrived for a showdown a dec laration of intentions at the conference table between Russia and the western allies. The dif ferences between east and west have reached a pitch where, if we don't get a showdown now In conference, we shall get It later in a far less desirable form. Suspicions . Those differences are based on suspicions of each 'others mo tives. Either the suspicions are well-founded or they are base less. If they are baseless, a showdown might eliminate the aiuicultles. if tney are well founded, we should at least know where we stand and be able to get ahead with the job from that unhappy standpoint. As remarked yesterday, what the wetsern allies want from Russia is a declaration that she has reached the end of her ex pansionist program, and that she won't assist or condone the thrusting of communism down the throat of Greece or any other country. What Moscow osten sibly wants is assurance that America, with Its atom bomb, and the other western democra- chn aren t out to circumscribe Russia and impose their will on the rest of the world. ' But, someone remarks, how could you be sure in a show down conference that the prom ises would be kept. Well, you couldn't be sure. But If each side laid its professed program on uie line, it wouirj De easy to tell from subsequent acts whether a true bill had been rendered and the injured side could act accordingly to safe guard its own interests. Any way, if either side refused to table its intentions, that in itself would be proof of ulterior designs. However, supposing we don't have a showdown but go ahead as we are each side rushing here, there and everywhere to stick its thumb in a hole in the dike. Supposing we should have to adopt a policy of defense which would extend around the world. What would be the real significance of such a program? Well, from where I sit it would look very much as though both aides would be maneuver ing in the preliminaries of war. Indeed, it's hard to see how an- Ritas Held For Smith Cox, Victim Of Auto Accident Final rites for Smith Cox. Lupine longer who died at Hill side hospital Thurstlny from in juries received the previous Sunday In an automobile acci- dent near vnemuu, were neiu Monday In Madford with full military honors. Interment took place in the Central Point cem etery. Military services were conducted by the special service detachment. 1st battalion, Ore gon State Guard. Mr. Cox was a member oi foncierosa fine uost. VFW. Bend, and pallbear ers were members of the Mad lord post. Mr. Cox was born In Snyder, Tex., and moved to Trail, Ore., at the age of 19. In 1917, he enlisted in the marine corps and whs among the first to be sent to France where he saw active duty and was returned to the United States after the ar mistice Ho enaaged in log trucking at Trail until 1936. when he moved to Lupine and was employed by Larson Log ging company until his death. Grange Approves Of Rate Probe The (Fort Klamath grange, number 779. 'has announced Its endorsement of house bill 362. authorising an appropriation of $50,000 to make a complete study of the freight rate situa tion. The grange stated that lie ac tion backing the bill is a result of "unjust discrepancies in the present freight regulations plac ing western farmers at a disad vantage In competition with farmers of other parts of the nation." In addition, the grange an nounces Its intention to support any legislation for research In finding new uses for Oregon farm products. other world conflict could be avoided under such circum stances although the signs are that nobody wants one. So the greatest blessing that could come out of the current Moscow conference might be if one of the Big Four would slam his flat on the table and call for a showdown.
