OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS
"Let us have faith that right makes might, ami
in that faith Ut us to the end dare to do our
duty as vx understand it" Abraham Lincoln
WHICH SYSTEM IS BEST
We have heard a lot about ths roads that the Ro
mans built, but wages and life counted for little in their
construction.
In ten years' time t:ic United F'ates has built more
hard surfaced roads with vf'.l paid !nbor than the Ro
mans ever thought of constrvcting. "oday a man can
travel for thousands of miles n this c-ntry on wonder
ful hard surfaced highways. They furnish a pleasant and
safe rr.tans cf transportation for millions of people.
Road comr.:ission'.-rs realize more and more that it is
essential to utilize old graveled and macadamized roads
as the base for permanent hard surfaced pavements.
While $100,000 might build a mile of Roman road
which would last for a thousand years, the same S 100.000
will be put an asphaltic concrete surface 20 feet wide two
inches thick at the center and five inches thick at the
edges over nearly six miles of worn out macadam under
the plan of the California highway commission for utiliz
ing old gravel and macadam roads as a base for a hard
surface covering. Six times as many people can be served
and six times as many miles of highway that will last for
many years can be built.
NEW ENGLAND THOROUGHNESS
A New England man with an idea has been a main
factor in the growth of Los Angelas. A. G. Arnoll, sec
retary of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, came
to that organization from New England. He deliberately
set out to secura industries for southern California. Com
ing from an industrial section of the country, he realized
that payrolls were the rock foundation upon which to
build permanent community prosperity.
His ideas have borne fruit. In a little over three
years 4,000 new industries have been located in Los An
geles. His systematic program to encourage industrial
development can be followed by any city which seeks
permanent growth and prosperity. But it takes work and
lots of it, as can be testified to by Mr. Arnoll and his
corps of assistants who keep in constant touch with thou
sands of prospective industries over the world which they
try to interest in coming to southern California.
ALWAYS MORE COMING
There is one thing we need never worry about; one
supply of which we shall never run short; one defense
which the country will never lack. We shall always have
enough men who want to hold office. In the darkest
hour of a national crisis you may depend upon them to
enlist for service without faltering. The higher the pay
the more recruits will be ready to take the risk. There
will always be more for a ten thousand dollar than a
thousand dollar a year office.
Recently it was reported that our ambassador to
Spain was about to resign. The next day the president
learned what a host of our fellow citizens would make
an ideal ambassador to Spain. The joke was that the
present ambassador had not yet resigned.
But one thing we shall always have to worry about
is to get a man worthy to fill any office. About that the
applicants do not worry so much. Usually, they worry
too much about how to get the office.

For r-fiiiud sarcasm, consider the proposal of the
Pomona grange of Umatilla ounty, which, in lieu of tho
Palm Beach resolution exempting inheritance taxes and
income taxes in Oregon for 15 years, would exempt farm
property and improvements from state and county levies
for a like period. Well, why not'.' There is as mu-h
sense in one proposal as the- other. Ontario Argus.

According to the Coos newspapers, there is to be a
"cheese week" in the month of June. That will provide
ample time for people to obtain a cheese appetite. Til
