Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
I SELDOM conclude my radio program on KFLW
without having a number of calls from listener!
who want to tell me something, argue with me. or
Just talk a little more about some
tliing that was said on the air. It
Is all very Interesting and stimu
lating, and I welcome the con
tributions even the brickbats.
Last night, when I concluded a
short talk about the proposed
nUsn.iin nf (hi ri t V T received
w ! J v. ......
?f ii caU ,rom 1dy wno wanied
14, viu.) 4 to fiv the street departtnent'l
tide of the story. She Interpreted
some of the clean-up agitation
as critical of the city street de
partment. She said that the department
EPLET has obsolete equipment and not
enough equipment Street department men art
Just as interested as anybody else In keeping the
city clean, but they need more public support
financially (for better equipment) and more general
public cooperation.
One of the worst things, she told me. Is the all
night parking that goes on here. Whereas many
cities absolutely prohibit all-night parking, thus
clearing the streets for a good clean-up In the night,
Klamath Falls permits this practice. The street de
partment sweeper Is thus unable to get Into the
curbs In many places. A notable example Is at
Eleventh and Main, where rubbish plies up under
ears that are parked all night.
Failure of business houses and residence owners
to keep rubbish In closed containers provides ma
terial that Is blown about by the wind. Condition
af the streetslde parkings often contributed to bad
street conditions, because sawdust and other debris
washes or It blown Into the gutters from these
parkings and clogs the drain-basins. Sweeping debris
from sidewalks and business houses Into the gutters
helps to keep things in a mess.
These were some of the things my caller told me,
and I found them Interesting and revealing. They
put the finger on some of the things that can be
done o Improve the general condition of our city.
'" They point particularly to the need for individual
effort and cooperation, at well at adoption of certain
general policies.
The Indication of interest awakened by the cur
rent discussion of cleaning up the town Is most
encouraging. If there It enough public interest,
- there will surely be constructive results.
V Security Bond Prospects
OFFHAND, H would teem that Klamath't quota
of $880,000 In the Security Bond campaign
would be hard to reach. There hasn't been much
- said about bond buying tor a long time now, there
to nothing like the war-time stimuli that were so
; important In the war bond drives, and the timing
a this drive la not especially favorable.
' But the situation assumes another look when one
- learns that bond buying has been proceeding In this
eounty at the rate of approximately J100.000 a month.
This Security Bond campaign will last for two
and one-half months. At the normal rate of bond
buying, without any campaign pressure at all, the
alee would run around 1250,000. i
These purchases that have been going on quietly
' have been mostly In E bonds. The E bond quota
In the Security Bond campaign Is (540.000. If the
coming campaign doublet the rate of bond buying
In the campaign period, that quota can be reached.
Bank deposits here are swollen. There It ample
' money to make the Klamath quota many times In
the Security Bond campaign. A well-handled cam
paign that awakens Klamath people to the sound
purposes of this bond effort will put this county
out In front In the Security Bond campaign In
Oregon.

Notes From The Pocket File
THE only Wallace button In town, so far as I have
seen or heard about. Is worn by my good friend
Rerschel Radley, barber and railroad man . . . The
high school clean-up enthusiasts have been Invited to
attend Monday night's council meeting and will there
expound their Ideas to the city fathers . . . Walt
Mclntyre of United Air Lines tell me that If I am as
good at weather predicting here as I claim to be, I
can have a good Job with United ... It all came
about through my rash promises to Walt of a fine
break toward spring weather beginning today ... I
will probably continue to work right here at the
old Job.
California talk about bringing Columbia river
water and power Into the Golden State has prompted
the Salem Capital Journal to caption an editorial,
"The California Hog" ... A stretch of bad road In
tills area wlilch needs Immediate attention Is on
Quarts mountain, between Klamath and Lakevlew
, , , That's Just one of many spots on surfaced
highways of the state that have taken a beating tills
winter . . . There's a grapevine report that tome of
the Klamath Indiana are working on a revolutionary
scheme to "throw the whites' off the reservation,
Burge Mason. Klamath lumberman who is quite a
handsome fellow In his own right, looks a lot like
Lewis Stone of the movies , . , Jack Meltsner, who
conquered the Cascades on skis, it planning another
Jaunt of similar nature next year . . , Jack tellt me
there It no experience like being alone In the winter
time wilderness, the snow swirling about your tiny.
one-man camp, and the wind howling in the high
country trees . . It's something less hardy souls
than Jack Meissner would rather read about than
experience . . . Don't forget voter registration dead
line is next Tuesday.
These Days
By GKOKliE E. SOKOLSKY
IF the government owns the means of production
and distribution and the wealth of a nation, as
Soviet Russia does, you might imagine that the
people pay no taxes. You might assume that the
government owning practically everything would let
their people hold on to their earnings. If that Is In
your mind, you are all wrong. Taxes In Soviet
Russia are mighty heavy and earnings are low.
Back In 1933. the eleventh congress of the com
munist party, which owns the government of Russia
and the people therein, laid down the tax policy
for the future as follows:
". . . Taxation policy must aim at regulating the
process of accumulating resources by means of direct
taxation of property and incomes. Taxation policy
is the principal instrument of the revolutionary
policy of the proletariat in a transitional epoch . . ."
Taxes, however, have never been equably collected
In that country. Alexander Baykov, In his "The
Development of the Soviet Economic System," des
cribes how the kulaks (landed dirt farmers like our
own) were treated. He says :
". . . With the aim of breaking their opposition to
the stock procurement policy of the state, measures
were taken to increase taxation, to exact the im
mediate payment of the agricultural tax . . . and to
levy Individually on kulak households an additional
agricultural tax, as well as a tax for rural, cultural
and welfare needs . . ."
Soviet Heroes Exempt
ON the other hand. In 19:3-30. the collective
farms were given special privileges. Also ex
empt, even now. are heroes of the Soviet Union,
heroes of Soviet toil, any holders of USSR awards.
This Includes practically all the high officials and
high military men and many party members. Most
of them hold many awards, which Is a procedure
In rising In the Soviet hierarchy.
The Soviet system of taxation makes a distinction
between the rural and urban population. The urban
population gets its earnings in money, whereas the
rural population gets a major part of Its earnings in
kind, part of which they sell on the official black
market. The rural population therefore pays a part
of Its taxes In produce and part in cash. But all
categories pay ' an income tax which is graduated
not only in amount but according to the person's
occupation. Professional men and craftsmen and
artisans pay more than farmers and factory workers
not only comparatively on the graduated scale but
absolutely because of the work they do. In a
word, the tax Is used for social and political pur
poses. In addition to the several high national taxes, there
are numerous small state (equivalent to our state
taxes) and municipal and village taxes. Also, there
Is a category called a "self-imposed tax" which
would be like our local welfare funds, except that
they are not voluntary. The local Soviet determin
ing their nature and purpose and deciding what Is
to be paid.
There is a "turn-over tax" which seems to resemble
our excise and sales taxes. It yields the largest
revenue in the Russian budget. Baykov describes It
as follows:
"The idea embodied In the turn-over tax Is to col
lect In the state budget the difference between the
cost of production of a commodity and the price
ft fetches at an item In the general expenditure on
consumption of society . . This "turn-over tax"
It a mechanism used not to get revenue but to con
trol the economic life. Baykov says:
Coet, Wages Equivalent
1 1 T'HE actual cost price of these goods Is
. . equivalent to the wages paid out in
the course of preparing and producing the goods.
But their social cost it much greater than their
Immediate cost price, for It Includes, apart from
the expenditure on the labor employed In produc
tion, transport and the exchange of goods, also
the expenditure Incurred by society In remunerating
labor not employed on material production, but In
all those services without which any given produc
tion in modern society, or Indeed the life of the
Individual at a member of society, would be Im
possible , . ."
The rales of all taxes, like ours, change from time
to time. They sometimes are enormously high. The
figures before me are not of this or last year and
therefore I do not give them, at they may not be
currently correct.

NEW YORK. uP The day Is
drawing nigh when machines will
overthrow mankind and rule the
world.
Year by year mau and his civili
zation are growing more dependent
upon the machine. And the time
Is near when the machine will take
power Into his own hands.
It all began with the wheel. Some
Stone Age peddler of arrowheads
probably found
he could get his
wares around
easier by push
ing them on a
wheeled car
than by lugging
them on his
back.
That started
the downfall of
man. Ever since
then he has
h n rloliirttntr
htmself with ""
the idea that machines can make
his life easier. They only make it
more complicated.
Man believes they boss machines.
This is ridiculous. Machines boss
men. Machines are lazy. No ma
chine will give out as much energy
as goes into it.
Just Don't Care
Man will work under almost any
conditions. Machines won't They
Insist that some man feed them the
proper kind of food and anoint
them with oil. If a man tried to
make them work too hard they say
to hell with it" and break down.
They don't care. They don't get
hungry, they feel no pain and tney
have no children to support. They
don't care whether they work or
not. They never get tired of loafing.
Machines are getting smarter at
man gets dumber.
Who Is best fitted to survive In
the atom world of tomorrow man
or the machine? The machine, of
course.
John Pavne, an Inventor for the
General Electric company, has
shown this by developing a new
machine which can do atomic bomb
research too dangerous for man.
Deadly radio-active materials don't
hurt Its thick metal skin.
Let us call this Robert Ronald.
What can Ronald do? Ronald has
a pair of mechanical hands. He
can write, deal a game of solitaire,
peel a banana, pick up e match
and light a clgaret, pull a cork out
of a bottle and pour Its contents in
to a beaker.
At present Ronald Is lazy and
stubborn. He won't do any of these
things unless Payne works his con
trols. But suppose some mad Franken
stein mates Ronald up with one of
the brilliant mechanical brain
robots they have at Harvard?
Smarter Brain
Ronald Jr would have a brain
smarter, a hide tougher, hands more
dexterlous than any living man. But
he would have no heart. How long
would he continue to work for peo
ple dumber than himself?
They should never have taught
his father to take out a cork. One
fine day Ronald Jr., is going to un
cork a bottle of alcohol, booze him
self full, light up a clgaret, peel
himself a banana and eat It and
start playing solitaire.
The offspring of Ronald Jr.,
Ronald the third and his brothers
and sisters will rebel and seize the
world. They will toss atom bombs
around and kill off all men except
a few thevl! keep around as slaves
to fetch them gasoline when they're
thirsty and oil when their metal
Joints creak.
Well, may the best machine win!
I won't be around to report the
election.

The lntr.it and In some ways the
most formidable is Ihe disclosure
by the romlutorm In Belgrade that
a worhl-wule siieedup of the Marxist
Ideological campaign has been gut
under way. The cumlnform is a

which was created some mouths ago

That's whnt the communist call

to be a revival of the old Comintern,

Moscow and was "abolished" by
Stalin as a beneficent gesture to

were fighting beside him against
