SUBaCKtrilu.i aaiftB MAIL 1 Month 6 Monthj 1 Year -i 155 .1 50 .11.00 BILLBOARD By BILL JENKINS As this is written the only really bright spot we can see in the world is the fact that there are only two more days of politics to go. Then the whole stinking mess will oe over and perhaps we can tettle dewu to something like a normal Jilt asam. It begin to luok as if political loudmouths fall into the same cat egory i load hog3. Ordinarily they are nice, polite guys, but be hind the wheel of a car they lose all Judgment. A lot of people who are in everyday life the nicest fellows you'd want to meet turn out to be regular ogres when it comes to politics. - . Oh well, as we said, in Just two more days. Saturday and next Monday, It'll all be over but the voting. And tlvcn we can go back to worrying about the price of the next meal and wondering what the Reds are up to now. Even our winter weather can't bring on as much mud as we've teen in the past couple of months. Tom Vatters was in the other day talking over this and that and the subject of spelling and gram mar came up. Tom told us that he'd never been much of a hand with the. finer points of the Eng lish lanuuage, either, and that Mrs. Walters had sometimes tak en occasion to mention this. But, shucks, said Tom, 1 Just tell her that I've been getting ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD When ' Mr. Larkin started the . Lemurlan myth of the "Mystery People" of Mount Shasta he de liberately distorted the book "A Dweller on Two Planets' by mak ing the Incidents written by P. S. : Oliver in regard to the lost con tinent of Atlantis into present day ' realities. When we Rtartcd on this '' of the "Mystery People' I had ' litllo hope of running into the " source so quickly, In Oliver's book I uncovered the rudiments of the Tradition but no reference to Le- 1 mufrlans nor were the people "Mysterious." -. ... ., -i It was the Editor of the Rosl cruclan Press who has given us : the key by his revelation that "Larkin tells the story of the young man who went to the foot of Mt. Shasta In California and who discovered there some evi dence of a strange group of peo ple, and wrote a inarvelou'3 man uscript about them . , Tills man uscript was written In 1886, but no copies of It are now available, although Mr. Larkin stntcs that a copy of it consisting of four hun dred and forty-three pages was be fore him as he wrote his news paper article." December 31, 1013. Now I have before me this same : "rare" manuscript, Larkin's copy , waa the fourth edition, which, is very rare today, however, this one Is bright and new and has four ' hundred and forty-two pages. It is a reprint in 1052 by the Borden Publishing Company of Los Ange les, in case you should be interest- , ed. It is a popular priced edition. Was Larklns manuscript really "rare? Of course such a book as tills did not have a- wide popu lar circulation but four editions do . run Into quite a figure. Larkin, searching for a sensa tional story to arouse Uie Jaded , souls of his California friends de- 1 hbcralcly fashioned Uie "Mystery People" out of this publication and so we have our folk-tale launched upon a tide o( Imagination that If we keep it alive will grow and blossom to an extent undreamed by Its fabricator. Larkin sought to make a mystery out of the strange story written by Oliver and was wonderfully successiul in his cliort, regardless of what we may write here, tho story ot the "Mystery People" will go on and on to astound the credulous and confound the skeptical. 1 Oliver was a pioneer ol the great i Klamath River Basin, his one lit-1 i-iary ellorl Is a true product ol our great rcRion and so Oliver takes his place along side our oili er pioneer writers like Joaoum 1ifl..t. ...

And now I don't know a new one from an old one and can't tell a cheap one from a custom made model. Nor can I distinguish, as I used to, what kind of a plane It is going overhead.

The members of this group of students of the occult were turned by Larkin into Lemurlans or the "Mystery People" of Mount Bhasta. Oliver makes no claim of being the author of this book and in the preface called himself the "Aman, uensis' of the publican. The word "amanuensis" is one that comes to us from the Latin meaning a slave of the hand or a sec re tary; one who writes, from dicta tion or otherwise, on behalf of another. Such people have not been uncommon in the world and tome individuals who have possessed a similar gift as did Oliver have become important figures In his tory. Oliver is exceedingly humble as to this work and indeed it Is something written In words with breadth and expedience far beyond mat wnicn would be expected in an 18 year old boy who possessed only the simple schooling avail able to youngsters in our fron tier country of the seventies. Oli ver writes of himself, "my educa tion has been rnmnAMtivplv llm. Ited, and extended to a verv silent knowledge of the subjects herein treated." Though Oliver was Influenced by this spirit world he was not a spiritualist in the term we might think of as the so called "med iums" of the movement we might call "modern spiritualism' who depend upon such manifestations of table rapping and other so. called forms of communication. An amanuensis possesses no control over the spirit who communicates to mm. but like the Becretary must oe reaay wnenever the SDirit de. sire to control him. It is a strange situation of the human mind and not all spirits are writers. I have known two such amanuensis, one Individual responded to a spirit who liked to write script for oDer. as. Uie spirit which Influenced the other Individual merely desired to talk. Neither of these two amanu ensis were moved by any deep religious feeling and only their close friends ever knew of their ability. These motivating spirits can make Just as many errors as any common mortal and while Oli vers rnyios does a marvelou.

Over the years no editor in America was more revered than the late conservative William Al len White. Mr. white visited Wash lngtor. in 1943 and in his Emporia uazctte ne described what he saw there, and I quote: "One is surprised to find men representing great- commodity trusts or agreements or syndicates planted in the various war bflards. It is silly to say that New Dealers run this show. It's run largely by absentee owners of amalgamated Industrial wealth, men who either directly or through their employ ers control small minority blocks. closely organized, that manipulate the physical plants of these trusts. 'Tor the most part these man agerial magnates are decent pa triotic Americans. They have great talents. If you touch them in nine relations of life out of ten, they are kindly, courteous, Chris tian gentlemen.' I "But In the tenth relation, where It touches their own organization, they are stark mad, .ruthless, un checked by God or nian, para noics, In fact, as evil in their de sign as Hitler. ... , "This attitude of the men who control the great commodity in dustries, and who propose to run them according to thelrt own Judg ment and their own morals do not make a pretty picture far the wel fare of the common mail." End of quote. I - I When this situation described by Mr. White obtained under the re straints of a liberal Democratic; administration you can Imagine what it is now that these men have secured control of the ad ministration and the boards that were supposed to regulate them are now mostly packed with their own appointees. Is it any wonder that they are proceeding to loot the public domain and to sabotage the great public power program Instituted by their own party un der Teddy Roosevelt, Geo. Norrls and Chas. McNaiv. They have spent large sums of money not only In financing the Republican party, but also in lob bying in Washington. And lhat Is why It Is now so difficult to get money for needed expansion of the Federal power program. In (net the power lobbyists gleefully boast nmi .ney nave stonned hat mo. gram dead in its tracks and that noi a single new project has been stalled since they began their well financed opposition. k During all this the ihe Coons have been loyal sup porters of the power and oil pro gram. Why else would Its sponsors or moving neaven and earth to get them returned to Washington? I wrote to Cordon in protest over his Tldclands oil vote, h? replied that he thought the decisions ot the Supreme Court were wrong. The little country lawyer reverses the Supreme Court of the United States! Again. I wrote him over his vote against the St. Lawrence Seaway. He sent me a eonv of ttw. Congressional Record in w-hich he explained in a short speech that he so voted because he thought it needed further investigation! You see It had been investigated for only SO years! Not until the Steel Trust needed the seaway for iron ore transpoilatton was the protect allowed to go through. wixou. me man who received a secret "expense" account nf sn.. 000. urges that you send men to wasnington who will support the President's program. The lobbyists in Washington boast lhat they ueed win but one eleolion. That means that if the Republicans win this election . the next two years will see the bones of the public uiMiiain pined clean. The mink coats of Harrv Tru man will pale Into Insignificance beside the deals thev will put over. The rotten Dixon-Yates con tract is but an entering wedse on their attack on the T.V.A. Eisen hower said he would support and protect Uie T.V.A. Yet they are able to make htm eat his words and try to ram through this smel ly deal with the representatives of one of the most corrupt power groups in the country. If you are at sea in this political fog .there is- but one safe course to. follow.. Don't vote for anyone who has Uie support of the oil and power moguls, now in the sad dle in Washington. Read again what Editor white said about them as quoted above. Then vote for men who will support Uie public interests and stop the looting and the, giveaways.. Men like Neuber ger and ullman. who will vote to return -to the true and tried pro gram of Teddy Roosevelt, Geo. Norrls, and Chas. McNarv. v , , D. P. Reld Malin, Ore. . . . 'CORDON BACKED - So that the true facts might come before more people. I would like to enclose a copy from the editorial page from the Oregon Journal. We are too Inclined to pick up hearsay talk and implant It into our minds and '.then plant seed3 of prejuldice instead of looking for the real facts and truth.

Cordon's fight to get Bonneville power to the public power distributors on the Coast. 'After appropriations to start transmission lines to the area were twice denied In conference. Sen.

In answer to Uie letter of. Mrs. V. L. Johnson, regarding Uie stores remaining open on Friday evening evidently she doesn't know- much nWUi UUolllcaa. . No store will add to their bav- roll, or the additional bother of ad ditional taxes connected with the payroll by hiring a person, or per sons, for a few evening hours or a few doliars a week. Instead their regular employes are given a few hours off, perhaps at an odd time, so that they can put In a few hours extra on a Friday evening at their regular pay with no over lime. Or, they simply work addi tional time with no extra pay. In addition, Saturday is always a big day for the employes, and harder than ever after working late Fri day evening. Add to that the prob lem of working mothers who must provide for extra baby sitters on Friday evening. After all there Is only a certain amount of anyone's income to be spent in Klamath Falls, regardless of whether the stores are open on an evening or Just during regular hours. Let me stress the point that una practice does not create any more business for Klamath Palls, or any more income for employes or employers. So that if it Is to be a continued practice by the mer chants, it must be ultimately' paid for by' the consumer in Increased costs of merchandise. The Klamath Falls shopping area Is one of the rarlst shopping areas in all the Northwest. The store nours are governed by the pies cedence set by local merchants. Store houi s should not be governed by large chain stores whose noli. cies are set by main office offl cials In remote cities such as Chi cago and New York,' but rather by local people who are fully ac- quauuea witn tne conditions in the Ulnmath Falls area. The reason why I mink : the Klamath Falls area is rare as snopping center is because nf the great distances between this area and other shopping areas such as Alturas, Lakeview, Bend, and Ash- lana. ; Now, I ask. Is It reaily practical for any business to remain open for Mrs. Johnson and a few othet people to shop after 5:30 p.m.? , Ruth Thelps - DREAM I wish to tell Editor so every body know all about It.

Hal Boyle NEW YORK I "I have a morbid interest in money," con fessed George Axelrod. a young man who wrote in M hours a Brqadway play he says will earn him a million dollars. For Uie actual time be spent at the typewriter in turning out "The Seven Year Itch" now being fUmed a a vehicle for Marilyn Monroe this come to $1,K6.66 an hour. Axelrod, who is 3, wears a crew cut, and looks like a fugiUve Princeton freshman, thinks this is a fair rate of pay for a writer if he got to keep the money. But, of course, he doesn't. To day it may take more time to fig ure out the income tax on a hit play than It does to write it. "You works for years and starve," said Oeorge wryly, "and then when you hit the big loot they take it all away. "Money is no longer enough. A writer needs some new kind of payment that can't be taken away iucn as a guarantee your golf score will Improve. Or they might promise to add two years to your life or in my case agree to find a way to make by front teeth come together." But until something better does come along Axelrod has decided money Is about the best all-around substitute. "Writing doesn't count unless you get paid for it," he said. "I can't even write a letter to my son now unless he promises lo sepd me a buck for it: "Art is a byproduct of writing for money. Shakespeare wrote be cause he needed dough. You al ways write better when you're hungry. . "It's much harder' to 'write un less you have to do It to meet bills. This is still no problem to me.

I had my self a real ball out there." At 18, "after being thrown out of most of Uie good schools in Uie East," George became a bit actor on Broadway, confined to luies such as "Madam, dinner is seryed." I was a horrible actor, but I wanted to learn stage techniques," he said. "I knew that at 18 I couldn't write anything that peo ple! Wuld pay S4.40 to see.'' At 30 George watched the re hearsal of s radio show, then went home and turned out a script for one himself and sold it for $150. ennce men I've turned out be. tween 500 and 600 radio and TV shows," he said, "Written two novels, and turned out gags and comedy sketches for Martin and Lewis, Peter Lind Hayes, Robert Q. . Lewis, and many other big comedians. - i "I was an Armv nrivnte fr three years, digging holes for tele phone poles for the Signal Corps in Europe. When I got out I had two really lean years before things turned better." It was at his wife's Insistent that Axelrod wrote "The Seven Year Itch" in 1953. He did it in IS four-hour sessions at the type writer. . "After four hours I Just pooh out," he said. Today George gets S75.000 for a movie script, double that amount if he furnishes the plot, too. He is currently polishing up a new mu sical, "The Rogers and Hart Song- ooos, - ana Jiopes to write "five or six. of the greatest plays in the come a' producer. ! (! "There comes a time when you can't go It anymore," he said. "it happens US every writer. He wears but. Or at least he gets to Uie point where what he writes no longer pleases himself, and then the money alone isn't enough. It's time to quit. How can you tell? Well. It's Uie 17th morning in a row that nothing happens. That is the big fear in every writer the awful morning when he knows he has nothing more to say." ueorge looked thoughtful, then smiled.

In 1953 the voters approved a measure granting tax exemption to college buildings under construc tion but as in proposition No. 9 tchurch buildingsl it was not un derstood that the land on which such buildings were being con structed was also exempt. This proposed amendment makes it clear that tax exemption applies to the land on which a college building Is being construct ed. This clarification is a logical ex tension of a tax exemption that has been practiced for a long time. Opponents to this measure point out that here again Is one more extention of tax exemptions.

Sam Dawson NEW YORK lPMMergers which spotlighted business this year and captured the attention of stock traders are coming under close government scrutiny. The aim of the study Is to see whether the public gains or loses by them. Leaders of big business argue' that the public is Uie gainer. They say that competition between large corporations is keener because they have the brawn with which to fight harder and must fight hard or else fall of their own weight. They contend that making a bigger corporation out of two or more small, weaker ones results in more competition and that the public gains thereby. The argument on the other side Is that when a few big corpora tions dominate an industry, the lit tle fellows die off one by one. And the. public has very little choice when -It goes out to buy products or services. . Since World War II, more than 7,000 mergers or other, forms of one company acquiring another's business have been recorded. This year has seen a spate of big ones. The Federal Trade Commission says It is studying 209 of these business realignments, chiefly In the field of autos, . metals, chem icals, baking, dairy, paper and tex tiles. The Justice Department has 28 merger plans before it, submitted by companies seeking its approval. 11 nas disapproved the proposed merger of Bethlehem Steel and Youngstown Sheet & Tube and warns that if the comnanio. on ahead with their plans anyway, It will bring, an- antitrust suit In -the courts. Disapproval is based on Section 7 of the Ciayton Act, as amended in luso, which prohibits acquisi tion by one concern of the nhvsl. cal assets of another if the effect would be to lessen competition sub. stantlally or to tend to create a monopoly. The steel companies insist their proposed merger would do no such thing, and. in fact, would actually give U.S. Steel, the giant in the industry, more competition. SINUS TROUBLE.

The pros and cons for this measure are the same as those for Proposition No. 14. The same or ganizations recommend a yes v on Proposition No. 15. Proposition No. 19 A Senate Constitutional amend ment mat would provide that the acquisition of an interest in any real property by an governmental agency whether it be federal, stata or local shall constitute an agree ment ny mat agency mat it will conform to California water law with respect to any land acquired. This measure is a result of th plight faced by people in Uie Santa Marguerita River Valley when the federal government brought suit against Uiem in federal courts, claiming the water the homeown ers were using. Proponents claim this amend ment is needed in order to guaran tee that the federal government will respect California water rights whenever it acquires land in the state. Since consent by the state legislature is necessary before the federal government can acquire le gal jurisdiction over land pur chased In the states, this measure would enable the legislature to in sist that California water laws be conformed to. Opponents believe Uie measure would become an obstacle to fed eral cooperation In the develop ment of California water resources and federal funds may be more difficult to obtain.
