Walking down tlie streets these

the campaign or event is a thing
ot the past.
Why not let's have a campaign
amoug those of us who allow them
in our windows to see to it that
campaign posters are removed,
dance posters junked the day af'er
tne dance, etc.?
It certainly wouldn't do any
harm if we were to do so.
Of course one that is outdated,
in a sense, but still to be seen
around tile winaowa is the electric
Keep Oregon Green type of poster.
Despite the snow and ice of winter,
if you can call this winter, these
posters are always in order. May
be we have to spend some time
in the snow season remembering
about putting out fires and emitt
ing matches and cigarets in order
to keep our forests verdant during
the auinmer months.
Some time ago Shaw Stationery
put in an addition to the stoie
which brought a new Main street
entrance into play. But stop and
notice how many people use the
new entrance. Very few. They
ail go on to the bid entrance and
use the inside door to reach the
new section. Proving again that
habit is a strong icing.
Paused at the corner of Main

one ot the common bottlenecks of
modern civilization. A car had
just pulled up with the intention
ot parking in a spot one-car-removed

the driver was followed by quite
a line of cars, all of whom pulled

TELLING THE EDITOR
TAX PAYER
For some time I have been fol
lowing the controversy about the
use of certain lands In the Fort
Klamath country for agricultural
purposes or duck reserv e purposes.
I hunt ducks myself but I am
also a taxpayer, and It occurs to
me that we have perhaps gone to
seed on auciis. 1 would nice 10 pre
sent a little more definitely the
taxpayers viewpoint. I sometimes
think that about all I get out of
my property is the privilege of
paying taxes. I have had to sell
some of it simply because it would
not carry the taxes and the up
keep. As I understand It, there Is ap
proximately 4000 acres of private
ly owned land adjacent to Upper
Klamath Lake which the Federal
Government is taking by condem
nation for waterfowl purposes. I
also understand there are certain
farming interests who would buy
this land; develop h for farming
purposes and thus put it on the
tax rolls. Furthermore, they would
give the Fish at Wildlife Service
and the duck hunters broad rights
for game refuges and public shoot
ing grounds. II also appears that
the Federal Government already
owns approximately 8000 acrea ad
jacent to the 4000 acre tract which
is marsh land and in reserve for
ducks.
Klamath County haa between
three and one-half million and four
million acres of land within Its
boundaries. Of this acreage the
Federal Government owns approx
imately 2,500.000 acres aa follows:
Forest Service 1.130.000
Bureau of Land
Management 341.00
National Parks 160,000
Bureau Reclamation 73,000
Indian land 916.00
Total 250.000

CAMP KILMER, N. J. lif) The
American soldier Is known to hsve
a wide heart. He proved It here
in an unusual way.
They passed the hat recently
among some 25,000 or more troops
here during a United Fund cam
paign. The money solicited wss for 23
charities In nine neighboring com
munities of this sprawling ls.000
acre camp.
Some 20,000 soldiers kicked in
for a total of S9.350. The amounts
given ranged from a few pennies
to 120.
The result has made the camp
commander rather proud.
It left some of the local citizens
feeling rather ashamed.
The reason: Most of the soldiers
who contributed to the drive were
in transit, men just entering Un
service or men leaving It. Only
a handfltl have any permanent con
nection here. Yet the camp In
creased Its contributions 660 per
cent over year ago, while the
citizens who live in the communi
ties lagged behind their goal.
"The average soldier stays here
only an average of six days," com
mented Brig. Gen. Charles F.
Crsig, who regsrds the record

"Army men want to become part
ef whatever community they sre

pulled on around the corner in

space.
As long as we have cars we'll
have this problem. But It doesn't
make it any easier on the nerves
when it happens. And as for a
solution to the problem I wouldn't
know. The only easy way out I
can see at uie moment would be
to Include still another signal on

Talking to Joe Draucha and
Gordon Loom 15 the other day when
the two got to talking railroads.
Gordon being one of the engine
drivers for the Great Northern and
Joe coming from a section of the
country. Midwest, where railroad
big was quite an art in its day.
Can't remember all the tales they
told about railroads and ' taking
waicr on we ny ana steam en
gines and what not. but one story
that Joe recounted stuck in my
mind. He asked "What is a civil
engineer?" According to Joe the
answer in his day was "A hog

a job, that's the only lime he's
ever civu.
Driving around town these nippy
days we're led to wonder how
service station men, creamery
workers, deliverymen and others
can stand to work all day in only
their shirt sleeves. It must get
pretty nippy.
I would say that the chamber of
commerce should pay them some
signal honor for thus pointing out
our banana belt climate to the
tourists.

mately 32 per cent of the real prop,
erty of Klamath County available
for taxation. This small percentage
of real property must carry the
whole tax load.
As one property owner, I don't
want to see any more of Klamath
County go into public ownership.
The United States already own,
directs and controls too much of
this County.
Furthermore, there are eouo
acres of land owned by the United
States in the Klamath Drainage
District which I would like to see
bomerteaded; In private ownership
and on the tax rolls.
I am not interested in who gets
the land at Fort Klamath but I
do want to see it in private owner
ship and on the tax rolls.
It seems hard to satisfy this Fish
& Wildlife Bureau. They already
have the whole of Upper Klamath
Lake and MOO acres of the marsh
land for the ducks and still they
want more of Klamath County.
They want to spend more of your
tax money and my tax money.
For years we have had Truman
ism at Washington: more and more
control by the Federal Government
more power in Washington: more
and more dictatorship. Our President-Elect,
General Eisenhower,
has assured us he will put a stop
to this and will put the proper
state resources and the control
thereof back in the respective
states where they belong. '
I think it would be a good thing
for us to join in and help him
and begin rliht here in Klamath
County. .
Let a nave no more private land
go into public ownership.
Let's homestead without delay
what public land there is avail
able for homesteadlng.
uy doing this we wui at least
own and control a little more of
our own County.
Such a movement would 'lower
your taxes and mine.

Whether Potter l ncntoil when

With Poller, the Republicans can
count on si least in voles plus a
vole by Vice Prealdenle)eot Nixon

Morse of Oregon, who now de
clares himself an independent,
slay with his former KepubUcsn
