TU 4-4752 31ore Ado By BILL JENKINS While we have our neck stuck out, cautiously but still out, on the Tule Lake situation we might as well stick it out a little further. It occurs to me that there are a few cold hard facts that the people of the nation had better take a close look at. Particularly the people of the so-called Western States. A great furor has been raised this year over the water levels on Tule Lake. It is not my purpose to discuss the rights or wrongs of that situation here. A goodly par- lion of this furor has been raised by sportsmen. Or duck hunters, whichever way you want to refer to them. The duck hunter is keen to note any infringement on what he con siders his domain. His domain be ing anywhere that a duck could conceivably come within range and where he could shoot without being arrested instanter. At least a fair proportion of the hunters who are doing the talking are doing so through their hats They are people who get their in formation from the highly slanted articles in sporting magazines, from hysterical newspaper colum nists and from first hand accounts of "hunters" who came up here and got skunked. But nevertheless these people are citizens, have the vote and de- nerve their say. And the day is rapidly coming when they are go ing to have to either dig deeper in their pocket for their sport or cat crow. Literally. There is no such thing as the "right" of the American people to hunt or the "responsibility" of the federal government to provide that hunting. Hunting is and always has been a privilege. Abuse it and you lose It. The passenger pigeon, the buffalo, the whooping -crane, the desert bighorn stand as mute evidence. Hunting pressure in the United States is gaining steadily. There may be a dip seen here and there but in the main the trend is up ward. More hunters mean one of two things, cither less game or a very considerable expansion of hunting area coupled with intelli gent game management that will provide the necessary increase. If the people of this country want to maintain hunting areas, if we want to keep our enormous reserves and expand our wetlands and our upland hunting areas then we are going to have to pungle up the money to do so. There isn't any other way to do it. There Is no such thing something fur nothing and cer tainly no such thing as hunting for nothing. And there certainly cannot be confiscation of private lands with out adequate reimbursement for the furtherance of hunting or fish ing or any other form of recrea tion. Such a practice would he untenable with the theory of de mocracy as we practice it. 1 am certainly no more anxious than the next man to see an in crease in hunting costs. But 1 think I can see far enough into the future to detect that probabil ity. It certainly doesn't take any long range vision or occult powers. Instead of bickering among our selves as to whose fault it was oi ls that the hunting is fading If it Is I should think it much more practicable to start thinking about doing something about it. Doing aomething to make room Tor both economic and recreational facili ties. Nobody has yet come up with a scheme for stretching the land we have. And In our lifetime they aren't going to. So all we have left is the idea of making the same land area serve more uses. Since recreation of any kind fakes money we have to keep the economic side clearly in mind. And since money with no place to siend It is abhorent to anyone but a miser we must keep the roc reational picture in proper focus Now, If ever, is the time for the ipnrlsmen to present a unified fiont. No less the time for the pri vate land owners. And it is certainly the lime for hoMi sides to decide once and for all where, the greatest economic values lie in production from the land or from recreational use. The findings might be surprising lo both sides. I'liily Ry FLORENCE JENKINS A few moments of unity of spirit and purpose among all Americans is proposed by Oregon's Mother of the Year. Mrs. Harlan P. Rosworth Jr., formerly of Klamath Falls, now liv ing at Medford, suggested the idea last week while she was In Klam ath Falls lo make a (alk on United Nations. Her ihmifht is to have a com munity Christmas tree lighting In every town and city on Wednesday! Entered as second class matter at the post ollice at Klamath Falls. Ore., on August 20. 1906, under act of Congress. March 8. 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California evening, December 23, at (he mo ment the President lights the tree at the nation's capitol. The in dividual ceremonies would follow group listening lo the broadcast of President Eisenhower's report to the nation following his 11-nation lour in the interests of world peace. The idea is simple and uncompli cated ideas usually have a much better chance of working out. The community Christmas tree might be a tiny one set on i pedestal on the courthouse lawn left dark during all the glitter and brilliance of pre-Christmas decora lion. The light might be a single taper set high on the tree so the licking flame could cast illumina tion into the symbolic darkness round about. Mrs. Bosworth gives unstinlingly of her time and energy in working toward world peace a goal de voully desired by all of us. Inertia she calls is apathy will probably prevent the frui tion of her proposal. The voluptuous comfort of the arm chair near the fireplace with in sight and sound of (he screen on which the President's face will appear may well prove to be an unbeatable competitor. Also, maybe it will snow that night. If so, perhaps each one may pause and figuratively light a lit lie candle in his heart in thanks for the life-giving moisture for'our high desert country and at the same time say a little prayer for peace among the peoples of the world. Oregon Politics By CHARLES V. STANTON Editor Roseburg News-Review A few weeks ago Peter Gunnar, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, uttered com plaint because Senator Ncuberger of Oregon was "moonlighting. Ncuberger, Gunnar said, was pending his time writing articles for magazines, newspapers and other periodicals. The opinion was expressed in this column and elsewhere that the complaint was ill-founded, "petty" and, in effect, was not good poll tics. Now Ncuberger is gelling the laugh on Gunnar, because an arti cle in one of the popular maga zines was authored by Vice Presi dent Richard Nixon. Anyone who knows Neuhcrger's ability lor gaining widespread pub licity and poking political pins into the opposition can realize he is mnking the most of the oppor tunity to pour punctures into the hide of the Republican committee chairman. Ncuberger can be criticized on many facets of his political philo sophy, I believe, but I fail to see where he is at fault for taking full advanlage of his opportunity (or authorship, so long as he does no! neglect his of I ico or his duties. The Ncuberger rebuttal to Gun nar, however, is only one of the many comments lo he found in the Oregon press pertaining to pol itics, as we begin lo build up for ihe M) campaign. The Ashland Daily Tidings, for example, holds the opinion that hen. Dan Dimlck ot Hosehurg is st ntling up trial balloons on Ihe possibility of running Rep. Robert Duncan of Jackson County for gov ernor. Dimick's reference lo Dun can as, "one of the outstanding Democrats in Oregon," and the fact that he would make a "great governor," is accepted by the Ash land paper as indicative. There is no question in my mind that Dunran is, as Dimick de scribes him, an "outstanding Democrat." It would be my opin ion that he will go far in the poli tical field. Again expressing my own opin iim. 1 believe he would be a great improvement over Ihe incumbent Charles O. Porter, as congressman from Ihe Fourth District. Demo- SHORT RIBS ready- FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! 2 p& :-f crats probably won't permit a con test at the primary election, but, if iliey did, I would venture the opin ion that Duncan is the one man who can beat Porter and that he would be much more desirable in the office. And, speaking of Porter, I find Ihe Oregon newspapers to be de voting considerable editorial com ment to the congressman's trou bles. The news magazine, Time, re cently had a very sarcastic ar- I cle describing Porter as a "whooping crane" and ridiculing him, his statements, and his ac tivities. The article, I believe, was in poor taste, or. as described in the Medford Mail-Tribune, was "shod dy," even though cleverly and hu morously written. The Eugene Reg ister-Guard, while declaring Por ter to be "wrong, tragically wrong," holds Ihe opinion that he doesn't "deserve the kind of a heating he takes in the Time mag azine." One thing, however, is quite evi dent about Porter, to my mind. He is constantly opening his mouth and sticking bis foot in it, to use a trile, old phrase. He has written reams and has spent many valuable hours of his time defending himself and his actions. He had filled pages of Con gressional Record trying to ex plain his associations with Fidel Castro, who now is turning out to be as much or more of an opprcs sor than the former dictator who was berated by Porter. Porter has been constantly on the defensive against those who accuse him of being "soft" on the Reds. He keeps lying lo "explain" why he wants lo "recognize" and open Irade with Red China and put Chiang Kai- shek behind barbed wire. He he came Senator Neuberger's "Little Sir Echo" on the proposed Sand Dunes Park gimmick and either willingly or unknowingly, it seems to me, is being used by the sena tor. He writes barbed letters about those who dare criticize him, eith er in editorials, or In letters to the edilor. It would seem to me we need a representative who would not be getting himself so involved and having lo explain and defend continually, one who would tend to Ihe job to which he was elected and not try lo run the State De partment, thereby earning a rebuff from Ihe Supreme Court. As the Grants Pass Courier says we need a congressman who will at least "incline respectfully to ward respectable affinity with con servatism." ' Another controversy was started by the Capital Journal, Salem. Ihat Sig Unandcr, state treasurer, probably will get a federal job when his current term expires. He isn't eligible for reelection. He was defeated in an effort to be governor. The Salem newspaper called him a "poor loser" and said he was neglecting his office Hut Ihe Register - Guard was among the newspapers taking ex ception, crediting Unandcr with a good job, hut questioning the need lor the office. Hidden Tnves HIDDEN TAXES From Ihe Albany Democrat-Herald This column Friday raised its eyebrows, figuratively speaking, of course, over a U.S. Department of Commerce estimate that only 12 cents out of every dollar we earned goes for taxes. It was our opinion that the department had over looked a lot of "hidden" taxes and some not so hard lo see. This got us lo do a little in vestigating over the weekend, and here's what we came up with When you leap out of bed your alarm clock (price $5 plus 50 cents tax) is through for the rest ot the day. You turn on your radio (price By Frank O'Neal one: TWO! three: FOUR! eg : i. t Subscription Rates CARRIER I MONTH $ 1.51) 6 MONTHS .. $ 9.00 I YEAR $18.00 MAJL I MONTH $ 1.50 6 MONTHS $ 8.50 I YEAR 115.00 $:0 plus $1.80 tax) to get ihe early morning news and the weath er. Meanwhile you are probably shaving. If you are using an elec tric razor it probably cost some where near $20 plus $1.10 tax. You soothed your face, perhaps, with a lotion that cost 80 cents a bottle plus eight cents tax. You donned your wrist watch, $80 plus $3 tax and went to a breakfast of waffles, cooked by your wife on an electric waffle iron costing $15 plus 45 cents tax. and col fee in an electric percolator (cost $25 plus 75 cents tax). If you had bacon or cooked ce real it was cooked on a stove costing around $225 plus $8.75 tax. Your orange juice or tomato juice came out of your refrigerator (cost $250 plus $7.50 tax). ftcr breakfast you telephone your office. Your phone bill is about $8 a month, perhaps, plus 80 cents lax. You take your car (price $2,500 plus $150 tax) to a garage to get a new battery (price $20, tax 96 cents). The gas tank needs filling so you buy 10 gal lons of gasoline for, say $2.50 of which 90 cents is a lax. You take out your wallet (price $10 plus $1 taxi, extract the $3.50 and note you have your driver's license with you ($2.50, all tax). On your way lo work you stop at a store to pick up a package for your wife. To be safe you put some pennies (also all tax) in the parking meter. Presume it is summer. Return ing home you pick up your golf bags and clubs ($90 price; $5.40 lax), and go out for a couple of hours of golfing. Or, if you don't golf, you may break out the pow er mower (price $70; $2.10 tax). Evening comes. After dinner you sit for a while before your TV iprice $300; tax $18) to watch a boxing match. Let us call that the end of a Friday. We haven't listed the sales taxes you would have paid in Washington or California, for what you eat and wear. Neither did we include income and real property taxes. Saturday you decide to go fish ing (or the weekend at a resort, taking your wife along. You pack hree suitcases (price $100, t a x $10), your fishing rod (price $15, tax 90 cents) and cigarets (price 22 cents, about a third of it lax). You probably take along a camera costing $80, including $4.40 lax. Sunday night you come home, both you and your wile overtaxed.

The morning stars are Mercury and Venus. On this day in history: In 1B42. Dutch navigator Ahel Tasman discovered New Zealand. In 18R2, General Ambrose Burn side and his union troops were defeated by the Confederate Army at Fredericksburg, Virgin ia. In 1918, Woodrow Wilson crossed the Atlantic to France, thus being the first U. S. Presi dent in office to cross the ocean. Also in 1918, American troops crossed the Rhine River in Ger many in World War I. In 1937. Japanese forces cap tured the Chinese cily of Nanking. In 1941, the Japanese started air raids on Hong Kong after the British rejected an ultimatum to evacuate the crown colony.

KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The chamber's Action Course in Practical Politics, which got under way this week with organizational meetings of the four discussion groups, shows signs of further ex pansion before the course actually begins the first week in January. When the course was first ex plained by the U.S. Chamber's Western Division manager. Ron Bailey, at a meeting here Novem ber 4, 37 persons indicated they would be interested in it. By the time the call went out for this week's meetings 18 more had signed up and only one person had dropped out. Six more joined one group or another during the or ganizational meetings! The nine-week course will end the first week in March and this much can be said already , . . some 60 citizens of the Klamath area are going to be well prepared to judge candidates running for election in the May primaries and, in all probability, to assist the par ty of their choice selecting candi dates to run for office. ' Because of the continued Inter est in the course, and because the actual discussion meetings don't begin unlil the first week in January, the chamber will contin ue to accept registrations for the next couple of weeks, or until the discussion groups are full. For ease of handling, and lo facilitate active participation on the part of every one, the groups are restricted to a membership of 20. There is room for a few more in three of the classes ... Ihe ones that meet Tuesday mornings at 7 o'clock. and Wednesday and Thursday eve nings at 7. Anyone interested in registering can get full informa tion by dialing the chamber office at TU 4-51113. Harlan "Bos" Bosworth, Copco vecp and former longtime resident of the Klamath Basin, was back among a group of old friends this week when he addressed a meet ing of the new chamber of com merce in Chiloquin. He congralu lated his friends for having the vision to form a chamber so that they can collectively attack com munity problems which are loo big for any individual to handle. And he offered them quite a challenge by listing a number of projects he felt they should consider. During his talk, "Bos," who was president of the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce in 1940-41 defined a chamber of commerce as a group of citizens of any com J. W. KERNS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!

And, as long as you explain, as "Bos" did, that the selfish purposes also happen to be in the best interests of the community as a whole, the defini tion is an apt one. ' Your Klamath County Chamber of Commerce is selfishly concerned wilh the agricultural, lumber and industrial economy of this coun ty .. . avidly works for better roads and highways, recreational facilities, schools, churches and hospitals . . . greedily goes about attracting more tourists to Klam ath County not lo Douglas, Jack son, Baker, Lane, Multnomah, or some other county. And, to para phrase Patrick Henry , . , "If this be selfishness, make the most of it." Actually, any community can make quite a bit of its selfish interest in its own welfare be cause right along with that interest goes a burning pride in what has been accomplished and what is planned for the future. And, a com munity that diligently pursues its own best interests and takes pride in what it is doing, , is a happy, progressive, healthy community the kind in which you and I like to live.
