Klamath Th;? Coming Playground
A Real Bid For Tourists Not An Idle Dream
I .While eyes and ears are strained on the develop
ment of our Klamath country through railroad extension,
there is another phase of development in the offing, of
which little has been said, but which is,- perhaps, sec
ond not even to the coming of the railroads.
The summer of 1926 will see the completion of The
Dalles-California highway north of Klamath Falls to The
Dalles, making it in every respect a highway of the first
line.
The summer of 1926 will also see. if Klamath gets
busy, the improvement on the only bad stretch of road
on the w hole highway south of Klamath Falls, that of the
Malin-Lookout stretch of some 15 miles.
The summer of 1926 will tell a different story in
tourist travel, than last month's figures of this year
(1925) when 11.150 foreign cars came up the Pacific
highway from California to register at Ashland, Medford
or Grants Pass, as compared with 959 coming into Oregon
through the Klamath country, east of the Cascades.
There are more reasons than one for the change in
the channel of traffic. Visitors to the northwest from
California will soon learn that to come up the east side
by branching off the Pacific highway at Redding, is a
much cooler trip. Those who have motored north will
seek diversion in a new route'.
And, too, the route is more scenic, with Burney Falls
and the Pitt river canyon added to the splendor of Mount
Lassen, Mount Shasta, Crater lake and the . Columbia
highway, all lying oil the route between San Francisco
and the rose city.
The score may be evened, if not surpassed that
11,150 to 959,' with the odds now favoring the Pacific
highway. ,''-..'.''
And Klamath Falls will be the center of the tourist
travel. Is it something more than an idle dream that
Klamath Falls could be a great industrial center, and at
the same time a beautiful, attractive1 and lovable city?
It is within reason. Let us waste no time. Let the ideals
of Klamath be realized. Let us, at every opportunity,
think, and act, and work, and build for a city of charm.
: It Waned Last November
And Unless We Miss Our Guess. It's Waning Now
What degree of success is likely to be attained by
Chairman Oldfield of the democratic congressional com
mittee on his announced tour of eleven western states?
His object is to capture the next lower house of congress.
Is there a single state where he can reasonably hope to
reverse the republican decision of last November?
A convincing negative reply is furnished by the fol
lowing table of official returns nine months ago:
Coolidge Davis
Nebraska ' 218.585 137.289
Colorado 193.956 75,238
utal 77,327 47,001
California 733,250 105.514
Oregon ... f. 142,579 67,589
Washington 220,622 42,842
Idaho 69,879 24,256
South Dakota 101,299 27,214
Minnesota 420,779 55,917
Wisconsin ...... 311,614 68,110
ohio ' : 1,176,130 . 477,888
Has anything occurred since these ballots were
counted to indicate defection in the republican party?
If dissatisfaction with the administration of President
Coolidge exists in any one of these states, it is not ap
parent. If the, democratic party under the guidance of state
leaders is to win the next house of representatives, it
will have to abandon its proposed fight against the pro
tective tariff principle. The great mass of industrial
workers will vigorously oppose anything that threatens to
lower the American standards of living.

What Is truer than thai might
Is right?
When right m right, it Is s:i
srith the aid of might. Thin is
onrlons.
"Right in Itself is powerless: In
nature it Is Might that rules." the
philosopher decides.
"To enlist might on the side of
right, so that by means of It right
may rule. Is the problem of states
manship." And It Is indeed a hard prob
lem, as Till be obvious If we re
member that almost every human
breast Is the seat of an egoism
which has no limits, and is usual
ly associated with a store ot preju
dices We also hare to bear in mind
thai in our civilization it Is many
millions of Individuals so consti
tuted who have to be kept In the
bonds of law and order, peace and
tranquility; whereas originally ev- 1
ery one bad a right to say to ev- I
ery one else: I AM JUST AS ;
GOOD AS YOU ARE. i
A consideration of this makes t
It surprising that on the whole the '
world pursues Its way so peaceful- I
ly, with so much law and ordir as i
we Bee to cxi3t.
It must be the machinery of
State that alone accomplishes it.
For as is well known, it is PHYS
ICAL, POWER alone whlcn ha
any direct action on men: consti
tuted for physical power alone
that they have any feeling of rc
spet. "It Is PHYSICAL force alone
which Is capable of securing re
spect." we are told.
"Now this force resides ulti
mately In tbo masses, where It Is
associated with Ignorance, stupld
Ity. and Injustice Accordingly the
main aim of statesmanship In
these difficult circumstances Is to
put physical force In subjection
