Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLKY
nN Hie rare occasion when there Is an especially
,,,-rt nH sustained rain In the Klamath coun
try, I call Lalon Stephens of the reclamation bureau
on the telephone and ask mm.
"Ik this a Fort Bidwell year?"
I did it this morning, and his
answer was firmly negative. Its
too lato, he said, for a Fort Bid
well year.
What we call a Fort Btdwcll
year. If one ever occurs again,
will be a year that sees 36 inches
of rainfall or thereabouts in a
five-month period.
That's what happened, approxi
mately 80 years ago, when the
only records that were kept In
this region were at Fort Bidwell
(about 100 miles soutnoasi oi
here) where the army maintained a tiny frontier
outpost. Either they had 36 inches of ram In fivt
months that year, or Uiey had an exceptionally ac
tive weather observer on the post who liked to make
entries on the books.
What that much rainfall would do in this area
where the normal Is about 13 inches-Is something
that has caused the reclamation bureau considerable
concern. Flood control and reclamation planning
necessarily must take into consideration the maxi
mum runoff that could come and the only way
that can be Judged Is by the past records. That
Fort Bidwell year is in the past records, and that
has something to do with the thinking behind such
projects as the Boundary dam on Lost river, enlarg
ing the diversion canal between Lost river and
Klamath river, channelling Lost river in Its upper
reaches, enlarging the Modoc tunnel pumping power
between Tule and Lower Klamath lakes, strengthen
ing protective dikes on Tule lake and other flood
protection plans.
In this basin, where two natural lakebeds have
been drained and settled and are now a major part
of the area economy, flood protection against all
possibilities is a matter of vital importance. It
shouldn't take much arguing to make everybody see
that.
Did His Duty
AN angle of the Franklin murder case that de
serves special attention was the admirable ac
tions of Deputy Sheriff John Franklin of Multnomah
county, on whom fell the difficult duty of placing
his own brother under arrest for the alleged slaying
of his wife.
Deputy Sheriff Franklin did his duty as an of
ficer of the law immediately upon hearing the oral
story from the hps of Homer Franklin. He took his
brother into town and turned him over to the dis
trict attorney. He made no effort to shield his
brother from the consequences of the story, per
mitting Homer's story to stand or fall on its merits.
John Franklin has a fine reputation as a law
enforcement officer in Portland after 22 years of
service. What he did in this case, under very painful
and unfortunate personal circumstances, did nothing
to damage that reputation.
These Days
By GEORGE E, EOKOLSKY
THE Damon Runyan committee, which has been
raising funds to fight cancer and has done it re
markably well, held a contest for a definition of
communism as part of its program. They must have
received some extrordinarily interesting definitions.
most of which arc undoubtedly confused but give
an Index to American thinking on the subject.
The prlre-winning reply Is aa follows:
"A communist is one who would like to divide
everything, particularly these United Stales."
This may be facetious but It Is wholly Incorrect.
The communists do not wish to divide wealth; they
seek to concentrate It. They do not believe in divid
ing up the United Stales: they do believe In taking
over the whole United Slates and even the whole
entire world, filling all countries Into their Soviet
system and controlling all of mankind from a single
world headquarters In Russia.
In a word, their concern is not with division or
subtraction but solely with addition.
..' I
Division Under Capitalism
UNDER ihc capitalist system, wealth, is Individu
ally held, more or less, according to earnings,
savings. Investment and inheritance. The individual s
wealth may increase by profits or interest or rents,
or It may decrease by losses. The means of produc
tion and distribution Is privately held and operated.
Fearful of monopolies, the government regulates
these private holdings with the object of maintaining
competition, avoiding conctntrntlon of wealth and
power. The redistribution of wealth Is further ac
complished by Inheritance and Income taxes and, to
some extent, by public spending.
Capitalism is then a system in which the results
of productivity are divided, a great many individuals
receiving a share either directly through wages, sal
aries, interest or indirectly through the distribution
of the proceeds of taxes. When the division is slow,
sleps are taken to speed it up. the object being to
avoid concentration. Capitalist criticism of the new
deal was based, to no small degree, upon objections
to its tendency to concentrate the ownership of
wealth in the hands of the government through the
RFC and some 50 government corporations, includ
ing such an agency as TV A. Whether such criticism
was correct or not is not pertinent to this particular
discussion: it is mentioned here to Indicate that con
centration of wealth by government is abhorrent to
capitalism.
Under communism, the government owns and
operates the means of production and distribution.
Although wages of a varying scale are paid, profits
and losses can be earned only by the government.
All productive and distributive agencies are govern
ment monopolies. In fact, communism is a monopo
listic system which tolerates no division of the fruits
of production except as the slate, which owns every
thing, temporarily permits to serve its own purposes.
Snowball
THAT is why the Damon Runyan prize-winner, as
so many others, is in error. Such persons have
somehow gamed the impression that communists
wish to divide up privately-owned wealth. They want
no such thing. They wish to take away privately
owned wealth, to abolish it. to make it part of the
state as a school or a park or a garbage incinerator
is part of the slate. I
That is one reason why many people are com
munists without knowing it. They would extend the
powers of the state for the eenerol u.if.r. tv,.
say until private wealth, private profit and private
enterprise cease to exist. Many such persons believe
that they know how far they can go in expanding
the state without flopping over into the tyrarj-.y of
Marxism. They do not know. Nobody does. Once the
snowball of state authority begins to roll, it is diffi
cult to stop it Certainly, it never stops of Its own
accord. If the state is once embarked on a monopo
listic program of concentrating economic power It
continues in that direction until It is, by force, re
versed. It usually ends in slavery.
Many capitalists in the democratic and republi
can parties are constantly advocating measures to
limit the divisions under capitalism; the same men
frown upon the logical consequences of their acts
Yet they actually pave the way for a Marxian state.'
that Is, one in which the division of wealth is re
duced to a minimum-m which the state becomes a
monstrously gigantic enslaver of man to its monopo
listic powers.

Being A Godfather Is Easy,
But Does Have Drawbacks
Br HAL BOVI.E
NEW YORK, Jan. 7 iPH-Child
guidance experts never bother to
give advice to the people who need
it most godfathers.
Their books on the care and feed
ing of ordinary children have more
rules than a modern landlord's
lease. But they are all written for
parents the people who have chil
dren. You can find therein how to
burp Junior, how to decide whether
he has colic or cigarette cough, nr
how to tell him about the stork
and who brings Santa Claus.
But a man will scan them in vain
for the slightest hint on how to get
along with his godchild. This is
unfair and undemocratic and dis
criminates against a large and little
appreciated class. Few people give
much thought to the matter, but
actually there are probably more
godfathers in America than there
are fathers.
Take a family with four children,
for example. They all have the
same father unless mama took a
trip to Reno along the way but
each has a different godfather, four
in all.
You'd think that with tv.. oi,.it
population simply crawling with
godfathers someone would write a
book for them. But nol Their duties,
privileges and responsibilities are
usually kissed off vaguely by the
proud father in this manner:
"You're little Junior's godfather.
I know that if anything happens
to me you'll watch over him until
he can stand on his own feet."
Outside of that pleasant prospect,
the godfather has no more work to
do than a stand-in for a cigar store
wooden Indian.
Some time ago a friend an
nounced he wanted me to be god
father to his son. I accepted grate
fully. I like kids but I am still
batting .000 in the paternity league
mVself. so T thntlo-ht thi. tt.,.,IH
enable me to have some of the Joys
u' cmia-raising oy proxy.
Well. I went over one day and
my friend formally Introduced me
to my squirming godson:
Nice Man
"See the nice man Tj.fru u.'.
your godfather. If anything hap
pens to daddy, the nice man will
send you through college."
The infant took one look at me
and let out a yell as If I had
scalped him. He wept and screamed
and got red in the face, and every
time I even glanced his way he
broke out in wild calls of terror.
That was a year ago. Every month
or so I drop by to visit him. The
same thing happens every time. He
sees "that nice man" and Im
mediately erupts in a walling
Niagara of tears. If I bring him
small presents he will accept them
only if relayed through a third per
son. At the age of fourteen months he
has only one word of greeting for
me:
"Ugh!"
Is that any way for a well brought
up baby to say hello to his god
father? I get along famously with
every other kid In the neighbor
hood. They even drop by sometimes
to share their used bubble gum.
But all my godson ever says is
"Ugh."
The only thing r can figure out
is that the child is allergic to
higher education.
Deb Addison, who works in the
advertising department and has
time to listen lo the radio on Satur
day mornings, tells me that there
is a kids' program on KFLW that
should get the approval ol the most
cautious mother or finicky child
welfare worker. Its an ABC net
work Job called "Land of the Lost"
and it's built along the line of Lewis
Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland."
There are lobsters that growl and
little fish that squeak and other
things that drew the approval of
our hArdbolled advertising man,
who says it's wholesome entertain
ment in worthy contrast to the gang
and crime stuff that Jams the air
waves and threatens to turn the
youth of the nation into nervous
wrecks or public enemies.
What do you do with old radio
cabinets? I've got several In my at
tic, left over after their Inner work
ings either Just went bad or were
removed for scientific experiments
by the kids around my house. They
aren't bad looking bits of furniture,
but I've never figured out just what
to do with them. Suggestions would
be appreciated from anybody who
has had luck using these things lor
some worthwhile purpose..

Contract For
Pumice Made
A contract covering the removal
of pumice from state forest land '.n
Klamath county has been entered
Ir.to between the state forestry de
partment and Alfred Castel. it was
announced in the latest issue of The
Forest Log. The price haa been
fixed at 15 cents per yard, three
cents of which has been set aside In
a special fund by the stale forestry
department for the purpose of re
storing the area after the work is
completed.
Castel slates that the contract Is
more or less on an experimental
basis In order to determine whether
the pumice Is of a quality that will
adapt Itself to construction of
building blocks. He will ship a few
gondolas and If the Initial attempt
Ii a success he expects to go Into the
business on a large scale.
Interest In the state pumice was
first evidenced last, year when sev
eral applications were made for
purchase, following exploratory
work. State forestry employes made
a survey of the Ynwkey tract and
set aside an area of approximately
a mile and a half in length and
from an eighth to a quarter of a
mile wide for the purpose of mining
pumice. The pumice was put up for
sale on a competitive bidding basis
but It was not until Castel submit
ted his proposal that the contract
was finally signed.
Moulding building blocks out of
Klamath pumice was an Industry
that started some years ago. One of
the early factories was located neat
Chcmtilt. Since that time many
other factories have started.
A generation ago the French In

Idle Benefit
Figure Drops
SALEM. Jan. 7 UP. Benefits paid
by the stale unemployment com
pensation commission totaled 7.
752,525 last year, compared with
16.069.748 in. 196, the commission
announced today.
Most of the decrease was caused
by the fact that shipyard workers
claimed only 11.500.000 In benefits
In 1047, compared with $11,000,000
in 1948.
Time and again the allied mili
tary tried to persuade these people
to move bark to safer areas, but
they clung to the soil which was
their birthright. The only way they
could be moved was by adamant
military order.
We mustn't mistake the present
political chaos In France as typify
ing the stability of the nation. The
country is In a state of near-revolution
owing to the strong-arm com
munist efforts to overthrow the
government and establish a red
regime. The Schuman plan repre
sents a solid and courageous side
of France.
The program may not succeed In
the face of stern adversity, but I
