Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEV THE telephone rate Increases granted by the state public utilities commissioner last week-end will go into cHect locally with the February 1 billing. These are the first Increases at Klamath for telephone service alnce 1921. j . Borne amplification of the statewide Associated Press news story telling of uie rate k Increases Is in order to show the specific effects on telephone service bills here. Here is what the change does, with the old rate given first and the new one second: Individual home telephone ser vice (1 party line) $3.25 to 13.75, up 60 cents. Two-party home service $2.50 to $2.75, up 25 cents. Four-party home service un changed. Business service (in city) $4.75 to $6.50, up $1.75. Suburban business 3.75 to $3.25, 8uburban residential (10-party line) $2.75. un changed. Farmer line, business 63 cents to $1.50. up 87 cents. Farmer line, residential 63 cents to $1.00, up 37 cents. Telephone company sources here had no figures available to show the probable Increase In revenue, in the Klamath area alone, from the Increased rates. It will be substantial, inasmuch as rate increases were granted in the departments which are heavily patronized. Incidentally, there were no toll rate increases grant ed, but some reductions were ordered. The station-to-station cost from here to Portland, for example, was dropped 10 cents, and person-to-person charges were cut 5 cents. Report charges were eliminated entirely. In his order setting up the rate adjustments, PUC George Flagg pointed out that the company's rate structure had not been changed since Just after the first world war. and that it is improbable they could have been equitable in all the ups and downs of 25 years of business. a a They Like It MOTORISTS who drove highway 97 for the first time during the recent flood situation west of the mountains were surprised to find such an excellent highway and such favorable weather conditions which exist on this side of the mountains. A lot of us have been trying to tell those folks about these things for a long time, but it took a flood to break up travel habits for some of them. The Bend Bulletin quotes motor court operators and others who had occasion to contact the surprised newcomers on highway 7. Bright sunshine en countered in the east-of-the-mountains country was evidently unexpected by many of the visitors, who undoubtedly have the erroneous idea fairly common In Western Oregon that this region Is caked in ice and subject to one continuous howling blizzard from September 1 to July 4. As we look from our window at this moment, the weather Is remarkably beautiful. It has been that way for several days. It Is the ordinary type of weather for this country in the winter. There are storms, to be sure, but there is a lot of sunshine that is in pleasing contrast to the dreariness and gloom that prevail in wetter climes elsewhere. STATIC By JOY A.

For some reason, which perhaps psychologist ran understand brtter than politicians, preparedness Is not an American trait. For Instance, as the record now discloses Itself, the United States Was in peril of being involved In war at every moment after the invasion of Poland In 1839. Certainly, after Sumner Welles" visit to Berlin In 1940, there was no doubt about It. Yet, no preparations were made and It took a year or more after Pearl Harbor before we actually got going. The snowstorm found New York without adequate equipment, with Its temperamental mayor on vacation, with no disaster plans that could be set In motion immediately against the unsuperable forces of destruc tion. True, the coming of the storm was nobody's fault, but the appearance of B-29s or their successors, hurtling bombs on our skyscrapers, would be no one's fault; yet the responsibility for preparedness cannot be shifted so readily. We know now that we are "menaced. . a a a a Good-Norured THE people were, during the storm, on the whole, good-natured and cheerful. They were left without means of transportation except for the subways and the suburban trains. The subways ran underground and out of the ay of snow and wind and did a magnl llcent service. The suburban trains fought with wind and snow and third-rail shorts and they did a magni ficent service In the circumstances. They were late, but they did not stop. Busses, taxis, motor lorries and other forms of surface transportation quit although great praise should be given the milk and bread de liveries which came on the job with astonishing rapidity. Instead of acknowledging lack of preparedness, the officials blamed slow snow-ftghttng on parked auto mobiles which impeded bulldozers, snow plows, etc. The local magistrate's courts fined the owners of these cars by streamlined justice which gave the appearance of an attempt on the part of municipal officers to find the cost of snow removal in parking fines. In view of the fact that the city is normally short of garages, that most garage-owners are unconscionable gougers who would not be tolerated in a properly managed community: in view of the further fact that the owners of cars had suffered costly damages because their cars had been literally drowned In snow and Ice during a year when anti-freezing compounds are scarce; and since towing vehicles and chains were scarcer than hen's teeth, it seems unfair, indecent, and even dishonest to place the blame on the fellow whose car got stuck. But it is characteristic Doth of our unprepared ness and of the politician's efforts to detract from his own shortcomings that he should have dramatized the wickedness of the already suffering citizen. They have been doing that for years. a a a a Asininities THE New York Daily Mirror quoted three magistrates as being responsible for the following three asinini ties: "I get along without one an automobile). Next case." "Don't keep a car." "These days people should first find a garage, and then buy a car." This untoward incident cannot detract from the general cooperative attitude of the average citizen in the face of the unpreparedness of the municipal offi cials. Yet, were we faced with war and bombs and gas and explosions, it would be too late for a good spirit and gentle forbearance. It would be too late for any thing but panic and disaster. The lesson of the snowstorm is clear. Instead of spending billions in futilities, this country now needs to be prepared for any emergency. It needs to have every device on hand to meet sudden and fearful dis aster. Maybe nothing will ever happen. Maybe the lion will lie down with the lamb. Maybe the United Nations will save the world. Maybe Stalin will sing the Star Spangled Banner" every morning before break fast. Maybe we shall have a century of peace. But pre paredness is insurance that the barn door is locked before the horse is stolen. Our minds might just as well be adjusted to that necessity. f monthi an year M 00 EPLEY down SO cents. program, Telequest."

' I quite realize that such a statc- ment seems to contain conflicting i thoughts and I could be w rong In I my viewpoint. However, it strikes me that we are dealing with an Idea which at first blush seems absurd and yet actually is correct In short, with a first class paradox. My rea soning Is this: The conflict between the Russian bloc and the Western powers Is In such a dangerous state that a bad misstep could produce another world war. Both sides recognize this I and are proceeding with care be I cause neither wants to see a third global upheaval. Thus so long us steady hands remain In control In each camp, the likelihood of a major explosion in the near future isn't great. Avoiding War Well. now. Stalin's word is su preme and final in Russia. For more than a score of years his policies have dominated both home affairs and foreign relations. Including the nananng or the bolshevist world revolution for the spread of com munism. His foreign policy, while going the full limit of daring in the interest of Soviet expansion, appar ently has been aimed at avoiding major warfare. So If Stalin's control suddenly were removed, and affairs were placed in charge of less dominant I ana snrewd men. a disastrous situa tion could arise. For example, an over-ambltlous decision in Moscow regarding the fiery Balkan situation named as the most outstanding young man for Klamath basin, i H. P. Bosworth Jr.. was honored In 1 1936; L.
