KLAMATH PRODUCTION Credit
Association will officially cele
brate "20 years of service for
sound growth of agriculture" lo
' morrow at Its annual meeting at
the Klamath Falla Armory.
The country folks will conic to
town for the observance, as they
should, and the city will welcome
them with "guest , car" parking
stickers, as it should.
KPCA members are proud of the
. 20 year record of their organlza
. tions, as they should b j.
Klamath Production Credit As
sociation, as the name suggests, is
In the business of financing the pro'
ductlon of farm crops crops
grown in trie good earth and on it.
.. Some KPCA members will point
out that the framework of the con
gressional act that provided for the
organisation of such associations is
the work of that lost and nearly
forgotten tribe of Republicans of
pre-New Deal days.
While it was a government fi
nanced organization at the start.
11 members will tell you that it
has been entirely owned by
farmers and cattlemen of Klam
all), Lake, Modoc and Siskiyou
counties since It paid Uncle off
on January 2, 1949.
It's local money that enables lo
cal farmers to finance a year's
production. There was a time when
ome people Jibed the KPCAers
about competing with private, tax
paying financial institutions. TXieir
answer then was that when It was
organized, and the reason It was
organized, existing banks were
not able to pro"ide the kind of fi
nancing that farmers needed. Now
they laugh It off with the answer
that KPCA is privately owned and
pays taxes like people.
Twenty members will be honored
for JO years of membership.
They are W. L. Bell, Orb Camp
bell, Charley Cross, John Craven,
Martin Oreen, Ed Geary, Gene
Hammond, John Kandra, Bill Kit

THE ROUNDS
production loan associations In that
20 years without ever having
moved. At Die start KPCA a terri
tory didn't extend down Into Mo
doc and Siskiyou counties as It
does today.
The 20 years have been Ulys
Recder and Ed Geary contribute
to public affairs through tours of
duty in political bodies. The Hon.
U. E. Recder Is county Judge, of
course, and Ed Geary is back in
state politics as candidate for speak
er of the Oregon House of Repre
sentatives. He is in nnmo, If not in person.
He is one of the 20-year members
who will be honored, as a 20-year
director tpo, in name but not in
person on account bf his being
"down under" at present seeing
how the New Zealanders grow
grass.
It has been an ambition of this
writer, for all of these 20 years,
to sell the association some ad
vertising. We've told them that
they'd never be "people". In suite
of paying off Uncle and starting
to pay taxes, until thev did Ilk
other busln6sses and told the story
of what they had to offer through
advertising.
Well, when KPCA moved Into Its
own building at Ninth and Klam
ath, the board of directors okayed
an ad to invite everyone in to see
me place, one invitational ad and
then, no dice)
Now, having attained 20-year
stature, believe It or not, the board
okayed another and telling of the
20 years of progress and honoring
the 20-year members. You' must
have seen It yesterday. It was op
posite the comto page.
Whether the absence of Ed
Geary had anything to do with the
softening up of this hard-shelled
bunch of farmer-directors Is m.
tlrely problematical. It may have
been the break that got us. in
or it may have been purely coinci
dental'. At any rate, we hei-phu attest that
the members, directors and th as.

TELLING THE EDITOR
WE ARE CRITICIZED
In your editorial Wednesday eve
ning, you very ably presented your
case against the Portland paper
for Its "holler than thou" attitude
toward our erstwhile "improve
ment fund".
It was disturbing, though, to note
your apparent tendency to white
wash our city officials, who com
mitted this community to the deal
with the commercialized raqkets,
and what seemed to be a minimiz
ing of their violation of sworn pub
lic duty.
In your defense of their setting
up "account 307", you stated that
prior to its Institution, there was
monopoly and all slot machines
were supplied locally by just one
racketeer, with all others excluded.
By all reports and appearances the
institution of the "Improvement
fund" brought to change in that
policy. The same old original
Klamath slot machine racketeer
seems to have exclusive "rights"
to this territory regardless come
what may.
Your further state that from
personal knowledge you believe the
people who dreamed up "account
307" were good citizens, interested
only In promoting the welfare of
tne community, but perhaps led
astray by the example set by the
"socially correct clubs". I gather
that you mean principally the
iraternai orders, which operate a
club, or bar, or "boar's nest in
connection with their lodge. It is
pretty wen known that most of
these Institutions have operated slot
maenmes extensively, tor years,
and have repeatedly violated any
law of the stale, or statute of their
own, which seemed inconvenient,
despite protests Irom some of their
members. Those who manage to
remain In control of club policies
seem to be guided by the two
philosophies: "The club can do
no wrong" and "The end always
Justifies the means".
Contrary to your observation that
the spnwncrs of "account 307" were
prompted by watching the "so
cially correct clubs", I believe
some were far more apt to have
been conditioned for their malleas
ance by years of membership and
active participation In the "clubs"'.
Your admonitions In "Judge not,
lest ye be Judged"- and "Let him
who is without sin. cast the first
stone" are acknowledged. I make
no claim to being "without sin"
but I do have a stone of criticism
to cast, and believe every citizen
has the right to publicly criticize
ana uicige tne otllclal acts and
omissions of public servants.
me man whom I consider chief
ly responsible for the setting up
and operation of "account 307" is
ex-mayor Bob Thompson. He Is
the one man who could, and should,
have stopped it cold at the coun
cil session by declaring the matter
out of order and refusing to con
sider a motion for adoption of the
ordinance. As mayor, with full and
sole control over police authority,
he could have closed down the
rackets at any time.
It would be a great public serv
ice if you would publish the minutes
of the council meeting, at which
"account 307" was set up. or that
portion of the minutes reciting the
procedure on this item. People
would then know which councilman
odercd Ihe motion for adoption,
who seconded II, nnd how the In-
dividual eouncllnien voted
Interview with the press a
few days ago. ex-mayor Thomp
son revealed with "utmost candor"
(candor about three years de
layed) that a group of prominent
"business and professional men"
thought Ihe "Improvement fund"
was a fine thing. If this group of
civic leaders was not a figment of
the ex-mayor's very vivid iniagi
nation, their names should be pub
lished. Men who presume to ad
vise municipal authority on matters
of public policy should have no ob
jection to publication of their
names. The public Is entitled to
know Just who among us advised
the adoption of a "deal" which

has brought us the dubious distinc
tion of being the only city in the
state, or may be anywhere, that
will have a swimming pool built
witn substantial help of revenue
from officially uninhibited sex ex
pression There are . lots of us ordinary
folks in the community who will
always wonder if the people who
dreamed up "account 307" were
motivated by something more than
gaining revenue Just for the city.
It really requires more naivete
than many people can muster to
believe that a man will violate his
oath of office for no other purpose
than to help the community.
So, Mr. Jenkins, in such cases
let's not rationalize nor minimize.
You too, sir, as publisher of the
only local newspaper have a pub
lic, trust. Please don't use It to
cushion the fall of idols with feet
of clay, even though just criticism
should involve the president of
high school Parents and Patrons,
the head hoot of the Owl hoots, and
the roving ambassador of the cham
ber of commerce. j
There need be no thought of re-1
venge for public betrayal the Cre
ator nas ocen quoted as saying that
revenge is His domain but let's
not condone bad faith. We should
try to forgive the trespasses of both
friend and enemy, but In no creed
are we taught to condone their
transgressions.

INDIAN COUNCIL
With ail of the government in
vestigations and expensive meet
ings that have been held regarding
the termination of the Klamath In
dian reservation, it seems to me
that someone should see what a
hollow mockery the Indian Coun
cil really Is.
Or could it be possible that It is
being used to make the Indians ap
pear incompetent? .
The majority of members that
form the council and business com
mittees are like parasites looking
for personal gain and a few free
jneals. They are not the true voice
of the Klamath people, as most of
the self-respecting members seldom
have time to attend those meet
ings.
Tile Indian Council is like a can
cer that is slowly but surely destroy
ing tne reservation and should be
abolished.

HISTORY CHANGED?
Hear me out. I have been a resi
dent in Klamath Falls since 1932.
History could easily have been
changed If the D A. had resided In
Llnkvillc; but, I doubt if our prom
inent people would allow Ihe his
tory book to be revised.
I can proudly, truthfully say this
city is not a breeding ground for
so called vice. Prostitution, yes, bjt
no harm done.
Klamath Falls trudged a long
way since the younger days oi
Linkville. It- was accomplished
without vice.
If I may add a word or two for
the people, we don't earn a living
or feed our families by reading
law books. The only book we read
is on Sunday, In church, the Holy
Bible.
I have nothing to comment con
cerning prostitution, merely the
term "vice!" The city's law en
forcement does quite well holding
down the various crimes committed
throughout the city and suburbs,
regardless what the D.A. savs or
does.
One man can't whip the world by
a flick of one little finger, or have
people hop. skip or Jump because
the master has spoken. ,

WASHINOTON W The Senate
started 1954 fast. Then' It bogged
down on the Idea of amending the
Constitution. Now it's playing by
ear.
Right after returning In January
it gave quick approval for this
country's Joining Canada in de
veloping the St. Lawrence seaway.
That was a step it hadn't been
willing to take in the past 20
years. Tins time it was spurred
on by President Eisenhower, who
backed the seaway, plus notice
from Canada she would act alone
if Congress balked.
Then the Republican senate lead
er, Ssn. Knowland of California,
trotted out something which Eisen
hower didn't approve.
That was the proposal by Sen.
Bricker (R-Ohlo) to amend the
Constitution so as to limit the
scope of treaties negotiated by the
President and ratified by the Sen
ate, and to provide for congres
sional regulation of executive
agreements not submitted io the
Senate.
Until Eisenhower took a stand
against it, saying it would ham
string a president in foreign af
fairs It seemed the Senate might
approve.
Bricker had a lot of support un
til then. Then his supporters be
gan to melt away. That didn't atop
days of debate though.
That was to be expected: Brok
er's amendment involved Supreme
Court decisions, treaties, agree
ments, and acts of Congress going
far back In history. It was a law
yer's Held day.
Soon it became clear the Brick
er amendment had no chance as
It stood. Still, there was nnd ap.
parently still Is quite a bit of Sen
ate sentiment for some kind of
constitutional restriction on treat
ies and agreements.
Those who urge It argue like
this: states and individuals need
to be protected against action by
some future president infringing
v.. ..ivii inna uj iiuerues.
Just as it seemed the whole Idea
of an amendment might go out the
wuiuow, aen. ueorge (D - Ga)
came up with one of his own.
This was a modified version of
Ihe one Bricker ofered. The White
nouse didn't accept that one either.
But there was a sliaht dlfor-
ence between the way Bricker of-
icrea nis amendment and the way
George produded his.
For two years this Senate Ju-
aiciary committee considered
Bricker's proposal, held hearings,
heard witnesses, took Its time.
Then it sent to the full Senate
for debate a proposed amendment
which was not quite what Bricker
offered but still bore his name.
The proposal by Oeorge, al
though he may have consulted
many of the same staff experts
and lawyers who advised the Ju
diciary Committee, was not the
subject of any hearings or commit
tee study. 3t has been considered
only on the floor and In confer
ences with administration officials.
Now Bricker is savina- he anil
George may get together and
agree on language in an amend
ment, potn could back.
This attempt to write out a con
stitutional amendment without
more hearings and discussion has
been criticized by some senators
as a too-hasty attempt to make
a change In handling foreign af
fairs, since the language some dnv
might be given an interpretation
not intended now.
.Yesterday some constitutional
lawyers like, John w. Davis were
quoted as saying they didn't know
what the language in Oeorgc's
amendment meant. '
In spite of all the present talk
there can be no change in the
Constitution unless It is approved
by two third.-i of the Senate and
House present at vollng time, and
6 of the 48 state legislatures.

Telling The Editor
UNHAPPY
I was very unhappy wjth your
point of view after I finished read
ing your eaiuiriai m ii nivo
paper on gambling and vice.
Sure, I've lived in Klamath for
It yrs, and I've enjoyed my games
at the golf club, the Elks, and now
the Eagles, but I'm not proud of
the gambling machines the boys
have there. It-seems to me that
vou were trying to change tne sub
ject when you Inferred that no re
forms are in order unless every
thing Is changed at once. You know
that It can't be done In that way,
and often one step at a time. Is
au you can nope ior.
I don't attend any church, nor
do I know any of these local min
isters, but at least they should be
given credit for attacking what
was a most obvious sore-spot- to
all. You would be surprised at
the large number of people in town
who are growing increasingly sus
picious of the local police force and
the present mayor. Something had
to be done, and your editorial
completely missed the boat! -
Can it be that you are sulking
in your corner, because the PortJ
land papers came down here and
did something that you should
have done first? What's happened
to the good old days when news
papers did a little crusading for
honesty in government? Can it be
that you are getting old, and as
you edge along are becoming more
bitter and cynical about human
values?
I can still remember when you
used to have a little fight for de-
cent living in your bones, and you'd
stick your neck out for some neces
sary reforms. What's' happened?
My neighbors' wives were in for
coffee this morning and tney are
all mad as hops at your apologetic
statements for dishonesty in local
government. They all (greed that
a few well placed funetals in town
would be a good thing.
Don't give them a chance to
prove themselves rightl Give cred
it where it Is due, and let's cut
out this trying to cover up a rotten
situation. I know you can do It If
you want to, but lots of folks are
losing all faith in your judgment.
You can still win them back if you
want to. Lets do better,-
I'm sorry I can't sign my name
but I've got to do business with
you and I don't want you to get
sore at rae.
(Editor's Note: The Herald and
News refuses to permit sniping
from ambush by anonymous writ
ers when the sniping is directed at
otners, but since this one does his
shooting $t us we're glad to break
our rule and give him the micro
phone.) LEGALIZE?
Jusi a few lines in regard to the
much talked about vice conditions
in this city. What a pity that It
takes such a filthy, degrading sit
uation as this to get publicity for
our city I
Many of us wish to see the clamps
put securely on prostitution In
our city but everyone knows that
closing these houses will not solve
this question, as you well know,
this sort of thing has gone on for
centuries and will continue for years
to come or as long as there are
human beings. Would-it not be bet
ter to legalize prostitution in our
city and keep these people in their
own houses instead of closing these
houses and thereby making it pos
sible for the3e prostitutes to keep
up tneir trade in hotel rooms or
they can move to outskirts of town,
rent trailer space in a trailer court
and ply their trade unmolested?
In this case, no one would bene
fit by this except persons directly
involved. Seems like if we have
to have such conditions it would be
better to legalize this business and
collect large taxes on such and
make it public. By this I mean let
the public know Just what this mon
ey is being used for. Otherwise if
they move to trailer courts out
side of the city limits, the city will
benefit, in only one way removing
them from the city.
Seems like when we folks voted
for the new swimming pool, we
understood it was to be paid for
out of new tax levies. Well what did
they use the money for that has
been collected and will be collected
from now on by raising our prop
erty taxes If. the money for the
swimming pool has already been
oonaiea ana as money from these
bawdy houses and accepted by our
city officials? Really It is nuite a
standing Joke not the 'House Jack
BUiir out "The Swimmlnc Poo!
that Vice and Prostitution Built."
But closing these houses of nrns.
litutlon is to endanger the welfare
of our women folk In the cliv.
throwing them on the mercy of trie
kind of persons that patronize
these house;.

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
A number of times this column
has made reference to Walker in
Nicaragua, iu telling the Joaquin
Miller story, as Miller s me was
an influence in the slate of Jef
ferson. Joaauln. in these forma
tive years of his life was greatly
Influenced by the romantic adven
turers of his day, Fremont was
his first hero, then came Moun
tain Joe and Walker, With such
a set of heroes, how could an ad
olescent youth with a poet's soul
develop otherwise than bito the
colorful character that made Joa
quin famous?
In later years Joaquin wrote a
book about Walker. While it is
suspected that he met Walker
and probably was with him for a
short time In the tropics, Miller
never would admit, even to liij
best friend, that such was the
case. Yet without a doubt, It was
the Walker Influence that played
an important part - in Joaquin's
life in the vlcinlty-of Mout Shasta
and turned the sentiment of local
settlers against him, with a bitter
ness which followed him all the
years of his life.
William Walker, just in case you
are rusty on history, became fa
mous as an American adventurer

He landed in Lower California, and
on Jan. 18, 1854. he proclaimed
this and the neighboring State of
Sonora and- independent republic.
Starvation and 'Mexican attacks led
to the abandonment of this enter
prise, and Walker resumed his
journalistic work In California.
On May 4. 1855. Walker aonin
