THE city council's action last night merely extend
ing the old franchise of the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company for six montlis may be the
postponement of an issue mat win r
get a little warm when the council
finally comes to grips with it.
Extension, rather than negotla
Hon of a new franchise on the
basis of old terms. Indicates the
council may have something dif
ferent In mind. Whether the post
ponement is due to reluctance of
the council to take up the issue,
or whether It actually has lacked
the time to make the necessary
studies before expiration of the
old franchise at the first of the
year, are questions that come to
mind.
At any rate, a few facts relative to the situation are
a matter of public interest at this time.
The telephone company, at present, pays a 2 per
cent gross Income tax to the city, as do all other
utilities. It also provides free telephone sen-Ice to
the city, with a current value of about $70 a month
for these services.
Taxes
IN addition to the gross income tax. the telephone
company pays real and personal property taxes.
According to the company's figures, the portion of its
real estate' and property taxes for 1940 which were
allocated to the city (on the basis of Klamath Falls'
combined levy for city, county, school districts. etc
was $8032. In 1M6, the company says. Its allocation of
real and personal property tax for Its city properties
amounted to approximately $17,000, or S2.33 per tele
phone that year. It expects tha figure for 1947-48
will be $28,000.
The company, as we understand it, would like to
see the franchise renewed on the basis of the 2 per
cent gross Income levy, but with the elimination of
the free telephone service given the city.
There has been talk of a proposal by the city for a
3 per cent gross Income tax, a boost of 50 per cent in
this particular tax. The telephone company would
probably strenuously resist this additional taxation,
if the issue were raised.
At last night's council meeting. Manager Charles
Beavey of the 'phone company pointed out that the
company, in order to carry on Its planning for the
future here, needs the assurances that go with a long
term franchise such as it has been working under.
We take it that he Intended this as a protest against
the mere extension of the old franchise for six months,
as was decided by the council.
In fairness to all concerned, a definite conclusion
of the issue would seem to be in order at the end of the
six months' extension. It should be worked out by that
time, one way or the other.
Population Question
IN an attempt to be un-chamber of commercely con
servative, on population figures, Manager Charley
Stark of the local chamber takes issue with population
estimates which appeared recently in a news story
In The Herald and News. "
AS It will be recalled, the Newspaper itory. based
estimates on a 4.1 ratio between the school census
and the total population. That was figured oh the
basis of the 1940 state federal census and state school
census.
Stark questions this method, asserting that Klamath
county has a smaller ratio of school children to total
population than the state as a whole. Re goes back
to 1940 and 1930 to prove that
We think Charley fails to recognize that the char
acter of Klamath county's population has changed over
the years. Whereas in the old days, there were large
numbers of single men employed here, even the in
dustrial population has become pretty much a home
population. Large numbers of industrial workers live
The Doctor Says
Dandruff Not
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
Dandruff, which is also called dry
seborrhea or seborrhea sicca. Is most
common on the scalp, but can occur
on other parta of the body. It is
characterized by the formation of
fine, slightly greasy, white or gray
scales, which are shed freely when
ever the hair is brushed or dis
turbed. Slight itching is frequent.
The condition occurs about equally
i.i both sexes. A family tendency to
dandruff is recognized and is often
associated with early baldness.
A definite causative germ or other
living organism has not been dis
covered, though there is much to
suggest that some kind of infection
may be at fault, at least in some
fS,I' J?Uow, elther acute
infections or chronic exhausting

of the city and county really are,
think our figures are pretty good.
Days
GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
received letters from descendant
and Ralph Isaacs protesting com
ments of mine on these worthies. Of course, the
descendants are in no manner responsible for their
ancestors. We can choose our wives but not our
grandparents. A fellow recent!' told me who his fifth
grandfather was and I should, I suppose, have been
impressed. But was he responsible for his fifth grand
father? Also, he said nothing about all the other
ancestors and their grandfathers. Maybe It Is Just
as well.
Oenealogiea make exciting reading, if they are
at all truthful. Most of them are not. Most of them
omit the bad eggs, the bianco posnets, the little devils
that somehow creep into every breed. My own ancestors
were all wonderful men. or so the book says. Never
theless, the best of them all was excommunicated for
saying: "It Just isn't so." Maybe that is where I got
the habit of tearing away the veil of sham.
I met a liberal the other day. He is still liberal
but he talked the way I used to five years ago. In a
word, he has fashionably become a conservative. He
will vote against Henry Wallace. He wants to beat the
brains out of poor Henry, who, he says, has wrecked
American liberalism and set it back half a century.
This fellow has many liberal ancestors because he
comes of a long line of Inherited wealth. His ancestors
could afford to talk broadly while they counted in
herited shekels.
But he dares not pursue the consequences of his
ancestral liberalism. Henry Wallace does. He has
marched straight Into the communist camp, which Is
logical That is where he belongs. Lots of liberals
belong there even If they do not possess Inherited
wealth or a guilty conscience. Anybody can reason
himself into anything. That Is one of the penalties '
of intelligence without moral responsibility.
e
Distaff Ancestors
BUT to get back to ancestors. Every time I visit a
house that has a coat-of-arms sticking on the wall,
particularly one relating to William the Conquerer,
I like to engage the owner of the windshield decoration
In conversation concerning the life and times of his
ancestor. Those Normans were awful thieves. Al
Capone could not hold a candle to them. They came
Into good, old Anglo-Saxon England and swiped every
thing In sight. If the Norman characteristics dominate
well, you can reach your own conclusions.
But what most of these ancestor-hunters forget is
that there is always a lady in the case, for no one has
yet discovered how to have descendants without a
mother. While it is possible to trace the old man down
to the fellow who handed the mighty William his
stlrrupcup. they ought to do some tracing of distaff
ancestors. They might even find that that is where
the money comes from the Inherited money that
makes current liberalism so free and easy.
Of course, the trouble with American society is that
it really has no ancestors to fuss over. These people
who go in for fancy folderols about keeping their
neighborhoods, their schools, their clubs, their associa
tions so exclusive only too often have an ancestor one
or two generations back who was a peasant, a ditch
digger, the water-boy to a horse thief.
e
Ain't It Fun?
IT is so sad. They never like you to mention it,
although the reason they can sit around and talk
liberalism is that the aforesaid peasant, eto, made a
lot of money and then dropped dead. They were all
cheerful about his dropping dead because he ate
his peas with a knife. But they like his money, so
they hire a genealogist who tells them, for so many
dollars, that the father wasn't the ancestor at all, but
that they really descended from an Illegitimate son of
an illegitimate father through a trollop back in the
thirteenth century.
That cheers them no end and they get themselves
Into the social register. Join a few clubs, become
exclusive, eat rich food, drink heady gins and die
broke because of the inheritance tax. The business
that papa left them is sold to some reconverted peasant
who is not troubled by his ancestors. Ain't it fun?

L
The United Nations' "Little As
semblythe iron-lung devised by
the democracies to try to keep the
breath of life In the veto-paralyzed
peace organization began Its per
manent sittings at Lake Success
yesterday, determined and possibly
hopeful.
The "Little Assembly" is the In
terim committee of the general as
sembly, and theoretically It com
prises all 67 members of the UN.
Actually, of course. Soviet Russia
and five of her satellites Czecho
slovakia. Poland, Yugoslavia. White
Russia and the Soviet Ukraine re
fused to have anything to do with
it. and Russia warned that it might
lead to grave consequences.
The democracies established this
"Little Assembly" as a backstop for
the all-powerful security council
which had been rendered Impotent
through the use of the veto power
by, the Soviet Union. Each of the
Big Five powers the United States.
China, Britain, France and Rus
siahave the veto right In the
council, and when It Is Invoked t
stymies action.
Veto 22 Tunes
Russia used the veto 71 times on
vital Issues, after which the United
States sponsored the creation of the
"Little Assembly" which at least
can determine the wishes of the
vast majority of the UN member
ship because the veto Is Inoperative
in the assembly. Russia opposed
this project fiercely.
The establishment of the "Little
Assembly" was an act of near-des
peration. While this body repre
sents all the nations excepting the
Russian bloc, It can only formulate
views and has no authority to en
force them. However, It can deter
mine world opinion apart from the
Russian bloc which Is anti-democracy
on virtually everything. That
democratic world opinion can be a
mighty force.
The Russian bloc was urged to
Join the "Little Assembly" from the
start, but refused. Despite this,
U 8. Chief Delegate Warren R.
Austln said at yesterday's meeting:
It Is our hope that the states
which are not here today will soon
Join us."
That's a pious wish, but we can't
advise you to bet that It will come
true. Still, If the split continues
between the Russian bloc and the
democracies the "Little Assembly"
may be the source of a tremendous
development the formation of a
new league of nations which would
comprise the democratic nations of
the world.
That would be an unhappy solu
tion, but It would be far better than
a United Nations which Is hope
lessly split Into two blocs constant
ly at loggerheads. We should like
to see "one world" In operation. But
If we must have two worlds. It's bet
tei that we recognize the necessity
and get the democracies organized
so that they won't be shot like sit
ting ducks by aggressive commu
nism. So the task of the "Little As
sembly" may turn out to be to keep
the UN alive until a new league
comprising the democracies can
come Into being. Be that as may.
If this assembly Is to prove useful
I. must get to work with its head up
and Its chest out. There seems to
be a disposition to confine Its labors
to non-controversial Issues, so not
to give offense to the Russian bloc.
Maybe that's a good Idea, but there
are many who would prefer to put
It this way:
Let the "Little Assembly" avoid
controversial problems where feas
ible, but let It resolutely face all
necessary problems, whether con
troversial or not.

I was In the county Jail yester
daynot as a prisoner, as you
night bo wishfully thinking but
as a visitor to accompany Hale
Bcarbrough on an Interview uf
Homer Franklin, held as an alleged
wife-slayer.
The. Jailer swung buck a heavy,
Iron-grated door to let Hule, State
Officer Bill Colbert, unil me. Into
the front office. Colbert asked for
Franklin, and the Jullor, after a
look at us, dosed and locked the
outside gate before oM)iilng the In
ner door into the cell block. Pres
ently he return with Franklin, who
sultl he had heard mo on the radio
tl don't have any listeners, huh?)
We all went Into a back room off
the Jailers office. Franklin sat
down and smoked cigarettes us he
talked to us rather easily about
the rough life he had led with
Marie. iScarbrotigh's story will oe
found elsewhere ) We asked a few
qucitloiu. and then Frunklln re
turned to the cell block. The Jailer
left that heavy outside gate locked
until the prisoner was safely tucked
away.
Franklin, who linked like a sick
man, asked for copies of the papers
with the story of the Franklin cose,
and. as he disappeared Into the In
nards of the local bastlle, remarked
that he would see us In court.

Chuck Cecil called this scribe out
of bed last night to report that the
temperature had reached 44 degrees
a lip. m., an amazing thing which
Chuck thought I ought to know. It
was Interesting, because It was the
highest temperature of the 34-hour
period, and what It did overnight to
the snow was In evidence In small
rivers running on hilly streets tins
morning.
The reason Chuck knew about
the temperature la that KFLW
from the start of Its broadcasts,
has broadcast the temperature on
the hour. Most stations give the
time, but LW gives time and tem
perature, which I think Is a swell
Idea. The temperature readings
are obtained from the CAA weath
er bureau at the airport, the tele
phone call being placed by the LW
technician on duty He then writes
the figure on a sheet of paper and
holds It up against the window be
tween the control room and the
studio so the announcer can see It.
This hourly ritual has been going
on for over a year now.

The issue of tax limitation was
put before the voters of the roun.
try In a natural survey by the In
stitute, as follows:
"At present, some people with
large Incomes have to pay moio
than half of their Income In Income
taxes. Do you think an Inrome tax
limit should he nlarrd on large In
comes so that no one would pav
more than half of his Inrome In
federal Income tax?"
The vote:
Favor limit , Ml
Opposed .. 38
No opinion .13
On the basis of those expressing
an opinion, the results are 57 per
cent In favor of the limit, 43 per
cent opposed.
It Is to be exirccted that people
who pay the most taxes would be
most In favor of the 60 per cent
limitation. The poll results show
that to be true. When people were
asked how much money they have
to pay annually In Income taxes.

In todays study, those families

show a substantial iniiiulii In tuvor
of the. limitation, while those pay

hi favor of It.
