The found ings Fathers, who had suffered the tyrannies of overcentrallr.ed gov ernment, wisely sought to define and LIMIT the federal power.

If the government docs contend that It can not function undor the constitution, and therefore must Function by PRESIDENTIAL DE CREE, It's high time for a change In our government. Otherwise our liberties will soon gone where the ' woodbine twlncth.

Ne gro, also employed by the South ern Paclllc at Kirk, was jailed lor being drunk on a public highway. PICTURE As for as could be determined at the accident scene this is what happened, according to state of ficers: Tafoya who Friday morning bought a 193(1 Ford aedan from a stranger here In town was head ed north for Kirk. HLi car edged oil the hlghwav and stopped with the right front wheel banging over a 20-foot em bankment. John Edge, of route 3. box 1310. Klamath Fulls, was headed south and saw Tafoy's predicament. He stopped and started to pull the Ford back on the highway, with his truck headed south. A Bulck sedan, which Havwoai was apparently driving northward toward Kirk, saw Uie pickup's light and swerved to the right. The Bulck hit the rear of Ta- fnva's Ford, broke the tow chain, with both the Bulck and the Ford going over the embankment. Haywood hit his head on the Bulck's windshield, got out of the car and took off junnlnu north ward up Uie highway. chasi: About that time Kaler's ambu lance arrived and chased Havwond a mile tip the highway belore catoh- mg mm and bringing him back to the accident scene. Thero Huvwood. according tn nr. fleers, became abusively violent. They finally had to strap and hand cuff him to a stretcher so he could be taken to Klamath Valley Hos pital for treatment of head cuts. City Police wcro called to the hospital, unlocked , the handcuffs and stood watch while Havwood was patched up. Then he and Ta foya were bundled in the cltv paddy wagon and booked in at Uie County Jnll. i French, Coon GOP Contest May By PAUL W.

Right now, French has a big edge, but Coon has a good chance of cutting it down with his exten sive campaign. Coon's main prob lem Is to become known. French Is a powerful orator, while Coon Is a humorous, pleas ing talker. Coon advocates reorganization of the federal government, reduced spending, prosecution of corrupt office holders, a balnnccd butlircl and federal farm rrlce supports. French and Hlnkb go along gen erally with that program, too. In addition, French supports Univer sal Military Training, opposes the government's taking over of any Industry, and opposes appointment of an ambassador to the Vatican. French has fought hard to bring government back to the people. He thinks the federal government aught to give up much of Its pow ers to tho states, and that the states should give up much of their powers to Uie counties. That wav. ho aavs. If Uie taxpayer doesn't like romethlng, all he has to do Is go to the nearest county FALLS, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, J932 V VX ' .

SZS-l "ffEaL,?T l,fi9 "on which, may . in turn .mc-nt t around S39.000 Ux money on uie ll52-53 roll. The merchandise Inventories of all business houses In Klamath Falls are to be checked. The inventories, stating true casn va)ue o( tnat type of personal property, are supposed to be made as of Jan. 1 each year, ana me assessed valuation of the property and consequently Uie Ux is figured from that. UNDERVALUED But early this year the State Tax Commission mte a spot check cf some business returns here and found that almost all of them (24 of 27) had undervalued their mer chandise for tax purposes. A complete re-check of Uie re turns of all business houses was ordered, with Deputy Assessor John Newman doing the work. To date Newman reports he has cone over the reports ol 104 bus inesses, out ol 656 in the county, ond the total cash value of mer chandise owned by Uiesc 104 bust nese hns been figured at $3,841, 443.47. Those same 104 businesses had originally put down Uielr Jan. I true cash value of merchandise at SI. 529.807.26. The re-check of the 104 has add ed $1,311,636.18 to the original mer chants report, an increase ol bs.i per cent. In other words, the re-check of the 104 businesses has shown that Uie merchants had vaiuea i n e i r merchandise for tax purposes at a little more than halt what the as sessor's offica thinks it should be. rersonai prone. ty uim are based on nn assessed valuation whlch Is on a ratio ot about 33 Be Close sent and holler. French says his campaign to decentralize government would save a lot ot money, too, because local government, under the scru tiny of the local taxpayers, Is cheaper, , Hlnkle will be released from active service three weeks after the primary election. He describes himself ns a "conservative Repub lican," and his ideas are about Uie same as those of French and Coon. Hlnkle says his military service during and after Uie war has taught him that the armed forces "nre guilty of unbelievable waste nnd poor planning." He wants foreign spending reduced because He says America can't afford It. ' He was a partner in a retail mer chandising firm for several years, men entered the investment secur ities business. He plans to re-enter this business when ne s discharged. But the race is between French and Coon. The winner will take on the winner of the Democratic con test between Sen. Ben Musa, The Dalles, and John a. Jones, La Omnde radio station executive. Checks Increase Valuations per cent of the true cash valu ation ol the property concerned. So Uie gain of $1,311,636.18 In cash valuation put to the 35 per cent ratio boils down to a gain in assessed valuation ol $459,072.66, and Uie probable tax on that gain in assessed valuation figured at 85 mills, sort of an average. Uie actual rate being: more in some parts of the county and less in others would come to $39,021.18. INCREASE If the same circumstances are fcund in the remaining two-thirds cf Uie Inventory re-checks. Uie to tal Increase in tax money to come Irom merchandise property proba bly will approach $120,000. This particular work is being done primarily by one man. Newman, on a $2,000 appropriation granted Uie assessor's office by the County Court. Assessor Otis Metsker had asked for $2,250 to do the work. but Uie amount was whittled down. In addition, Newman in Uie past few weeks has run across mer chandise not reported for taxation at aU previously worth some $44, 241, and the tax on that this next fiscal year will come to around $1,300. City Firemen Save Babies For the third time In eight days the Klamath Falls Fire Depart ment's resuscltator has been called to the aid of a strangling baby. The apparatus pumped bream back into an 11 -da void babv at iKeno this morning after Uie child was almost dead of strangulation, The baby was Carol Ann, daugh- tcr of Mr. and Mrs. Delos Hustead.

Eisenhower Saturday to be "rca ! sonablv specific" In discussing presidential campaign Issues when ne returns to the united states. "I don't think Uie American peo ple would be at all satisfied with a discussion in only broad terms." said Dirksen. who is supporting I! Sen. Taft of Ohio for top place on J the Republican ticket. Ben. Lodge of Massachusetts, heading Uie campaign to win Uie OOP nomination for Eisenhower, said Friday night that when Uie general returns from Europe about June 1 "he wUl be free to discuss Uie Issues, and he will do exactly that." 'REGULAR WAYV In a speech at Marblehead, Mass., Lodge addacl: "He will be completely frank with Uie American people, as he was when be. was president of Co lumbia University. He will not hook a private car on Uie back of a train for a whistle-stop tour. He will be himself, remain In character, do things in bis regular way." Dirksen recently urged Lodge to obtain Eisenhower' "unequivocal" views on such matters as Uie Taft Hartley Labor Law. a compulsory Faif Employment Practices Com mission I FEPC and Truman ad ministration foreign policy. Lodge replied at the time It was "picayune to expect a man who is in a military headquarters without a stall of political advisers to give oil-hand answers to tricky aues Uons.'y. -. v ; ' . Taft. supporters .ilsb are circulating- petitions addressed to Eisen hower, demanding that he state his position on 21 matters they describe as Issues.

KICKOFF He is scheduled to make a major speech June 4 In his home town of Abilene, Kan., and will have one of . bis first opportunities then to talk about Uie campaign issues.

Union Plans Stoppages For Monday By HALE SCARBROI'OH Two lumber mills in Klamath Falls and many others in this area of Oregon and California are threa tened with a strike next Monday midnight unless a settlement be tween Uie CIO International Wood workers union and Uie Pine Indus trial Committee Is reached. The local mills are Klamath Ba sin Pine Mills and Car-Ad-Co. Major Issue In Uie dispute ap parently Is whether employers or workers should pay for a health and welfare program. The union wants Uie company to pay the cost amounting to about 93 cents a work hour and Uie companies contend the workers should con tinue to pay It. The health and welfare setup was adopted two years ago and at that time a 7i cent per hour wage In crease was granted to employes, me amount to be deducted from paychecks to finance the union- controlled welfare program. CHANGE ' . V ' 1 The IWA now wants to eliminate that deduction from paychecks and suostuuie a direct payment by empfoyers of $14 a month per em ploye, leaving the union in full con trol of the program, according to C. L. Irving, PIRC secretary-manager. An employers' negotiating com mittee ol the PIRC has mailed a proposal to Uie IWA's regional ne gotiating committee in PorUand offering a 7-cent hourly pay In crease, three additional paid holi days, a 6-cent hourly night shift differential and other benefits. Irving said the PIRC offer to employes in this area are compar able to those contained in the un ion's settlement with Weyerhaeu-' sen nmoer company earlier this month. REVIEW i The offer was made, Irving said, i after a thorough review of -the it. uation and In an attempt to avoid' for lumber workers and lumbering communities Uie effects of a strike.. He said, in a prepared state ment, that "1 the IWA calls s strike now, it will have to be over the Issue of health and welfare.1 The IWA's present health and wel-: fare program in this area was set up two years ago. It is union con trolled and employe financed be-'-cause of IWA Insistence in 1SSO. coupled with strike deadline an nouncements, that it bad to be done by just mat method." . - Hal Geiger of me local IWA-CIO office said this morning he had not received any olficial notice ot the P1RSV offer. He also said that llf the event of a strike, the Weyer haeuser mill and logging camps would not be Involved since Uie woodworkers have signed their new contract with Weyerhaeuser. Tim Sullivan of toe Klamath Basin District Council. IWA-CIO. said that all negotiations had been turned over to toe Federal Con ciliation Service, and that Friday toe PRC declined to meet with the concillaUon service In Portland. He said the only official offer the local union office had received entailed a 10 cent hourly pay cut ; for aU employes in remanufac turing departments, and a tighten ing up of vacation provisions.
