By FRANK JENKINS
On Its front page the other day,
the Herald and News printed a
'picture o( a check changing hands.
Over, the years, we have printed
many such pictures so many.
in fact, that our newsroom has
come to frown on them In a mild
sort of way. In the dally life of an
American community, no transac
tion Is more common than a check
passing from one hand to another.
: In our profession, you know,
there is a shibboleth to the effect
that when a dog bites a man it
Jsn't news but when a man bites
a dog it's hot stuff. Hits man-bites
dog dogma is akin to the proverb:
"VARIETY, is the spice of life."
Both arise out of the fundament
al human fact that when a man's
wife feeds him precisely the same
dinner menu seven days in a row
he is apt to display signs of bore
dom.
Our news room leans to the be
lief that this principle applies in
the case of pictures. They "ain't
,sood," it thinks, when there is
Uodriuch sameness about them
. But this particular picture was
little different. Among other
'. things, it dramatized a fact in our
' modern economy and our mod-
. ern politics that deserves more
- intelligent thought than it is get
ting.
The good-looking, well-tailored
. gentleman who was handing over
the check was Tom Mccarry, aus-
,'trict freight and passenger agent
'of the Southern Pacific Company.
.The ruggedly handsome recipient
' was "Red" Britton, the typically
Western sheriff of our own typical
ly Western Klamath county.
The check was written for the
"rather considerable sum of $472,
283.98. . -' It represented the Southern
Pacific company's property taxes in
'Klamath county for the period of
one year,
'.: Hee's the tiolitical point:
"V. Stippose the GOVERNMENT
-earned the railroads as many
advocate.
Well, in that event THERE
.- WOULD HAVE BEEN NO TAX
- CHECK FOR KLAMATH COUN
TY.
. . There is a lot of fancy talk
'these day- about the government
doing ev;ythlng for everybody
... But i '
' onVTCBNMENT PAYS NO LO-
: CAT. TAXES.
.,- It leaves that for EVERYBODY
. ELSE to do.
One more word about this
ceck:
It was for I472.2B3.sb. -mat. is
shade under HALF A MILLION
dollars. Half a million dollars add
ed to the taxes they already pay
would be quite an item to the lax
payers of Klamath county.
Keen this in mind:
If the Southern Pacific Company
hadn't paid it, the rest of us would
had to pungle up the difference.
. That's what government owner
ship of the railroads would mean
to Klamath, county.
, It's what government ownership
of ANYTHING means to ANY
county.

Earth Slide
Claims Two
In Quebec
NICOLET. Que. Wl An earth
fllde swept part of the Catholic
Bishops palace, a seminary, two
homes and a garage into the Nico-
let River Saturday. Two persons
wore reported killed and a teach
ing brother was missing Saturday
nignt.
Bishop Albertus Martin and his
staff were reported to have es
caped just before the landslide
ripped through the palace and
dropped part of it into the water.
The cause of the slide was not
known immediately. It was specu
lated, however, that the presence of
heavy road-building macninery on
the riverside road may cave been
a contributing factor.
The buildings had stood on top
of a steep river bank.
One of the collapsed homes
caught file in shallow water and a
bridge on the riverside road was
damaged.
Councilman E. E. Mercier of tlv
nearby village of St. Gregoire said
searchers told him they recovered
two bodies and believed another
person was killed.
Rescue workers said a mass of
earth 800 x 200 feet in area slid
into the river along with an ad
joining park area 150 feet frontage.
Nicoiet is a larm aud commer
cial town of 3.751 people, about mid
way between Quebec and Mont
real. Councilman Mercier said search
ers told him the recovered bodies
were those of a baby and Mrs.
Bolsvert. The missing man was
one of 10 religious brothers living
at the scminaiy.
. The town's Catholic Church ap
peared also to be in danger of
toppling into the liver. ;
The pootoffice and a bank, both
near the river, were ordered closed
because it was feared a possible
luriher slide would take them
The buildings that were toppled
down the bunk were crushed and
broken. Some were reduced to

Ike Takes Up

. WASHINGTON (in President
Eisenhower got in a little putting
on a White House green Saturday
for the first time since his Sept. 24
heart attack. And he made plans
to open an office next week in

his farm. . . , '
TneTresldent'weht out onto fli'e
green on the south lawn of tne
mansion shortly after aides report
ed him "feeling fine" on this first
full day back at the White House.
Tlie aides said the chief execu
tive putted only a couple of times,
then sat in a chair in the yard for
more than an hour soaking up the
warm autumn sun.
So far as Is known Saturday was
the first time he had a golf club
in his hands since Sept. 23, the
day before his heart attack. He was
accompanied Saturday by his son.
Army Maj. John S. Elsenhower,
who also got jn a bit of golf prac
tice. After trying a couple of
strokes, the President sat and
watched John.
Long range photographs taken
during the afternoon showed the
president witn a ciud cocicca over
his right shoulder. But presidential
associates said the President ap
narently was just getting the "feel"
of the club that he actually hit no
long or middle-range shots.
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty announced that the President
and Mrs. Elsenhower will drive on
Monday to their country home on
the edRe of Gettysburg, where
there will be a quiet observance of
the first lady's 59th birthday,
Elsenhower, who checked out of
a Denver hospital Friday after sev
en weeks of convalescence from &
heart attack, plans to spend about
six weeks building up his strength
at his farm.
But the Whit House made it
clear that at Gettysburg the doc
tors plan to permit a steady but
gradual increase in the President's
governmental activity.
Elsenhower's Gettysburg office
will be on the first floor of the
post office, in the postmaster's
quarters, and he probably rill meet
his first official visitors there

At least five deaths were attri
buted to the weather and the
stormy Pacific claimed the 128
foot tuna, clipper Ocean Pride off
Oregon's Cape Lookout. The Ocean
Pride's 13 crewmen were removed

The cold front, sweeping in from
the North Pacific, sent the mer

Tlie mass of cold air was fol
lowed by gale winds which whipped
up mountainous waves on the Pa
