OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as re understand it" Abraham Lincoln THE FOURTH NEED OF HUMANKIND. Klamath Falls has one thing not possessed by many cities under 100,000 population, for which we may justly be proud but which is unfortunately not r?co?nized appreciably. This city claims a little symphony orches tra, which is the marvel of music masters and critics, who have heard and who have praised, and lovers of music may do well to lend every possible assistance to promote and encourage its furtherance. "Music,'' wrote Carlyle. "is properly said to be the speech of angels." and this does well serve to emphasize the difference between music and ordinary sounds. The "song" of a bird is music, so are the tones of the harp, but in a stricter sense rr.'j.-ic is an art the purest of the fine arts. There is a word which has b:-en misused and over worked until it has come to be held in contempt the word "culture." Yet that for which this word stand.-, if genuine and not seif-conscio'is. is by all means to hi sought. And no one can hope to have a true culture and broad education without a knowledge of music. ".Music," some one has said, "is the fourth need of humankind: food, clothing, shelter then music". At first hearing this may seem beyond tha truth. '"Non sense." says the intensely practical man. '"I have lived fifty years, have built up a fortune, and I don't suppose I've given six hours to music is all my life." But this attitude proves nothing. He has got along without m'sic. hi: that is no evidence he has not needed it and that his life would have been far better and richer if its influence had been admit sd. Let Klamath Falls get behind the little symphony orch.-.ra ar.d entourage music the fourth need of humankind. EUROPEAN RAILROAD RATES The American Economic institute has made some in teresting comparisons between freight and passenger rates on American railroads compared with foreign rail roads. The average rate for a ton of freight hauled one mile on American railroads in the first half of 1923 was less than 1 1-8 cents. In England, the rate was 4 cents; Sweden, 4 i cents; Norway, 5 cents and Brazil, over 6 cents. The difference in passenger fares was greater; in England for 288 miles, the first class passenger fare was S14.72; for a similar distance from Chicago to Savannah, Illinois, with parlor car service, the rate is $11.62. From Paris to Biarritz, 508 miles, the fare is $32.67; from Chicago to Leavenworth, Kansas, the same distance, it is $17.54. From Rome to Florence, Italy, 196 miles, the fare is $21.95. compared with S7.70 for the same distance from Gladstone, Iowa, to Chicago. o THE BREAD AND BUTTER INDUSTRY. The lumber industry is maintaining a normal de gree of activity. Mills are receiving large orders and speeding up production. New building operations for February were 16 per cent ahead of January. February building permit re ports from 361 cities and towns-, made to the national monthly building survey of S. V. Straus & Co., show a total of $281,016,826, against $301,898,236 in Febru ary, 1921. This loss was due mainly to slowing up of operations in New York City, some sections of the coun try showing gains as high as 43 per cent above Feb ruary, 1924. "Keep tho sawmill running." should be a western slogan. o . In England the house of lords will equip its members with ear phones. Which leads us to suggest that the sen ate be equipped with silencers. The Dalles Optimist the only way to cure them Is to kill them. Oakridge Review.
