i' The news and radio boys may
not welcome this horning In on
their baby, but let's take a look
at the (orm-your-opinlon questions
on the subject of "How can we
better build tomorrow's citizens? "
' This subject will be discussed
tonight, at 8:30, on the first "Build
the Basin" panel on KFLW. Ten
questions were printed in the pa
per Inviting a response of opin
ion, so here goes.
.'Are tomorrow's citizens Ameri
ca's greatest basic resources?
We think of timber or water or
good old Klamath sandy lonin soil
as resourses: not persons. Let's
see what Webster says about the
word, "resource." "That to which
one- resorts or on which one de
pends lor supply or support; means
of overcoming a difficulty."
Okay, boys, the answer has to
be,, yea.
Do we recognize this fact with
adequate emphasis? No. rNot in
the. terms of "resource, as stav
ed, r we don't think of persons as
resourses. . .
j "-
Are parents delinquent In their
responsibility? Parents generally,
no. Too many are delinquent: a
juvenile delinquent almost always
reflects delinquent parents.
' Are schools doing all they
should! The trend in schooling
has been to take over more and
more of the students' guidance.
Schools aren't perfect, but don't
pass the buck of full responsibility
President Truman's plan for re
organizaing the Internal Revenue
Bureau Is understandably drawing
a skeptical response from such
congressmen as are around to re
spond. '. He is here reaping the reward
of too long refusal to acknowledge
widespread corruption within his
Administration. For months he
either laughed off the well-founded
charges or sought to dismiss them
as nothing more than cheap polit
ical attacks upon him.
At a recent news conference, he
' set a new low in insincerity, not
to mention presidential manners.
In defiance of the fact that con
gressional Inquiries and press
sleuthing had unearthed much
shocking information, the President
baldly claimed full credit for tak
ing the initiative against govern
ment wrongdoers. He lashed out
crudely at the press for daring to
contend otherwise,
i Earlier in the tax scandal story.
Mr. Truman was doubtful that it
would do any good to take the
revenue bureau out of politics. He
took ' an attitude which suggested
the proponents of this scheme were
mere amateurs in statecraft.
SAME IDEA
s He is now recommending that
very course. He would abolish the
64 politically named district rev
enue collectors and establish 25
new divisions, all under civil, serv
ice. Only the top bureau commis
sioner would be appointed by the
Presidenti He also would boost bu
reau salaries to lessen the temp
tation to seek supplementary in
come outside.
The Hoover Commission on gov
ernment reorganization proposed a
roughly similar plan more than
two years ago. This group hardly
can be classified as amateur. Mr.
Truman has acted, however, as if
he never heard of the Hoover
Commission and were generating
Heavens
: Over the , telephone came this
query: "We are having an argu
ment nere in me office and we
want you to settle It. Does the
earth's axis Up sufficiently every
slX' months to give us the differ
ence In temperature between win
ter and-summer?" .
f When called upon to mediate an
astronomical dispute, I am alwavs
pleased to be able to tell the one
doing the Inquiring that he is
right. In this case, however, I had
ssillfully to suggest that the truth
lay- on the other side.
Let us ask the reader to con
struct a diagram on a sheet of
paper. In the center of the sheet
draw a circle around a silver half
dollar If such wealth is yours. In
side of -this circle write, "The
Sun." To the right of this, and
near the edge of the sheet trace
a circle around a dime. Label
this, "The Earth."
j From a little above the earth
circle draw a line Ktrnii-ht rinum
through its center and continue it
a anort distance below the lower
part of the circle. This represents
the imaginary axis around which
the entire earth rotates approxi
mately once each 21 hours. (The
more exact time is 23 hrs. 66
minutes.) This daily rotation turns
any part of the 'earth alternately
toward and away from the sun,
thus giving us day and night.

these ideas on his own.
So congressional doubts are to.
be expected. But Congress never
theless should examine the de
tailed proposals carefully and re
ject them only if they are genu
inely unwise. And it it does spurn
them, it ought to substitute reor
ganization plans of its own. The
need is fundamental.
To ignore the need on the e round
simply that the President's plan is
no good would be to suggest that
we lawmakers see political advan
tage in keenintr the situation bad
until after election Such irrespon
sibility might backfire.
ANOTHER POINT
There is one other vital aspect
to this presidential move. Modern
izing the structure of the revenue
bureau Is no substitute for clean
ing it out. and it would be a
grave mistake for Mr. Truman to
assume otherwise.
The major problem of weed ins
out the morally unfit and exacting
a higher standard of performance
from government workers is still
unsolved. Commissioner Dunlao is
vigorously combine the revenue
bureau and dismissals continue to
mount. But there is a serious ques
tion whether confidence can be re
stored in the integrity of eovern-
ment by the limited tactic of fed
eral agencies policing themselves.
What is called for Is an indepen
dent commission of high-minded,
disinterested public men, with a
tree nano to prooe anywhere and
everywhere in search of wrong
doing. For a time it seemed Mr.
Truman was on the verge of tak
ing this step. He must have had
second thoughts and decided he
could get by without it.
But u he does not attack the
problem with the boldness and
courage it demands, the public
may give him some dismal third
thoughts.
Above-
not point straight up as we have
arawn it. uian t we learn some
thing in our grade-school geogra
phies about a 23"j-degree tilt? If
the upper end of this axis - is
tipped down 23 Ji degrees toward
the left, an amount a little less
than one-third that to make it
point directly toward the sun. we
have the approximate tilt. Rear
range the axis in your diagram
accordingly.
We now have the condition of
Summer in the Northern Hemis
phere and Winter In the Southern.
The sun can warm the end of the
earth turned toward it much bet
ter than the other. .
If the North Pole could slowly
tip toward the right so that In six
months It would point as far to
the right of straight up as it does
to the left In summer, we would
have winter conditions without any
doubt. But it does not do it that
way. The axis continues to tilt to
the left as the earth moves around
the sun. In three months it will
be hidden behind the sun in our

SABBATH
KLAMATH FALLS Some of
us are wondering why Pastor Al
derscnt spends so much time try
ing to stir up a religious argu
ment over whether Sunday is the
sabbath or whether Saturday is the
sabbath. I have always thought
the function of the church was to
try to promote peace and good-will
among peoples. Then why spend
so much time trying to find some
one to argue- with over such
f mite concept as time.
I Calendars have been subject to
I change from time to time. The
I seven-day week concept, of course,
has been adhered to throughout all
jages. Its origin is found in the
i record of Creation found in the
first and second chapters of Gene
sis. However, the names of days
and calendar months have been
changed from time to time. So who
knows actually which is the sixth
day of the week or which is the
seventh, that is. measuring from
the beginning of time. We read in
Psalms: 90: 4: "For a thousand
years in thy sight are but as yes-1
terday when It Is past, and as a I lieve he will be released by his
watch in the night." Does this not boss, the president? This s a po
indicate 'that time is a finite con-;litical game, you know,

and insight. We can find it in the i
Bible if we search for it with an
open mind and stop clouding our
vision with human opinions. Let us,
rather, spend our time In trying
to find out what God is, and in
trying to learn what it means to
love our neighbor as ourself. Je
sus said these were the most im
portant of the Commandments. I
can see no other way to solve the
world's problems. Let us search
for this wisdom with our whole
heart. The Bible tells us: (Matt.
7: 7;) "Ask, and it shall be given
you: seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto
you." .
Yes, wisdom Is ours for the ask
ing; but let us be sure our mo
tives is to seek true wisdom,
rather than engender strife over
creeds and beliefs. The world's
burdens are too heavy now. Surely
the churches should not add to this
the left. This is the Winter posi
tion six months from the summer
position.
The seasons are thus due to the
annual revolution of the earth
around the sun while the earth's
axis remains at practically the
same tilt.

In Calllornla,
Ihat the proposed Trlnlly diver
slop within Itself would not ma
terliillv hurt the Klamath water
shed la undoubtedly true, and on
position to tho diversion should
not bo bused on nilulMormatlon
and clulma that 11 would, ,
But opposition lo I he plan for
mother reuson certainly la legltl
mate for lutcresta along the entire
length of the river.
That oilier reason la on of pre
cedent, '
The whole future development of
the country along the Klamath,
luom here at the Indian reserva
tion down to the sea. depends In
one way or another on the river
and depends upon prevention of
that great natural resource from
being taken away from this area
to be used In another.
The Trlnlly Is part of tha
Klaiuulh river system, and a diver
sion on the Trinity could be a foot
In the door toward eventual diver
sion trom the big river Itself.
Opposition to the Trinity matter
should realistically be based on op
position lo the establishment of a
precedent directly In the Klainalh
watershed. Just opposition lo Uie
establishment of a vague precedent
la not enough. One has already
been established the tranaler of
Sac rumrnlo river water lo tho Ban I
Joaquin. J
But lurther than that, anv oppo
sition will seem to be dog-ln-lhe-manger
unless the water Is put to
work.
One way or another, It will not
be allowed lo waste into the Pa
clllo ocean many more years. Ei
ther 11 la commuted to beneficial
use (Irrigation, hydroelectric de
velopment, fisheries, etc.) along
the river or II will be shuttled Into
the Sacriiineulo system for use In
Centra! and Southern California.
The river Is capable of Irrigating
three-quarters of a million acres
ol Innd mid of producing a million
kllowatta of hydroelectric power,
and of sustaining a considerable
outdoors sports Industry. But It has
to be used. It cannot ba allowed
tri go to waste.
