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.

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.

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. .

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

will be made, for replaying im

will preview St. Patrick's day

we most certainly shall not try
to preview Morgan.

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.

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

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-

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.
