Pin Dor.n the Issue
Klamath Districts Ckances in Congress
The productive years of the average far
mer on an irrigation project are too few to be
frittered away in futility. Most farmers realize
this, and get busy. They establish homes,
raiss and educate their children, and do those
. things which make for happiness now, and
contentment in their later years.
But a few farmers, blindly following the
dreamer district leaders, are led to heed the
idea that the panacea for all their complaints,
both real and fancied, may be had through
federal aid.

And to this end .Klamath's problems are
ijto be put up to congress. Delegations from
the western states have been' fully primed to
make extensive reclamation relief an issue.
Senator Charles McNary, leader of this effort
by right of his chairmanship of the committee
on reclamation and irrigation, will do any
thing in his power for this district. But in this
case he has just as much chance as the prover
bial snowball. . Opposition i3 strong.
There is no doubt of the situation in Wash
!' ingtcnf Eveltf yestefday press services carried '
this: "The farmer must work cut his own sal
vation. This is the position the administra
tion is expected to take in answer to the nu
mercus farm relief measures that are to come
before congress this winter."
. 3 3 ff jp
It should be realized that western reclama
tion i3 regarded as a failure by the rest of the
country. Besides, the chief executive is en
forcing a strict economy program. Relief
through channels of congress will encounter
insurmcuntable barriers. And this will apply
particularly to any measure that does not
carry the recommendation of the reclamation
service. Yet:
"We'll get what we want from congress,
damn the reclamation service," these district
leaders, having failed utterly, now tell their
constituents. Life is short, such hope3 are vain.
The reclamation service has placed fail
ure for this district not having taken over op
eration and maintenance of this project,
squarely at the door of the local district ad
ministration. While thi3 newspaper is hold
ing no brief for the reclamation service, the
facts are clear on this point. Nothing else but
the arbitrary action of local elective officials is
responsible for the tie-up in the affairs of the
district and the nullification of a district tax
reduction made by the previous board.
And it will so continue if President Brad
bury' and Director Jacob are supported at the
coming election. There will be no relief from
congress. And there will be no opportunity
for a change for the next two years.
Bradbury's term expires in two years,
Jacob i3' running for the three-year term.
Have these gentlemen kept one promise? Life
is too short.

YESTERDAY'S PUZZLE
ANSWERED
Some way out from the Flay of
Naples Ihe little party on deck
sighted a rocky Islet, apparently
two miles offshore. An elderly
gentleman approached a youth
who sat writing and Inquired po
litely: "Do you know whether that Is
Mount Vesuvius?"
The oiher replied with equal
politeness:
"I don't know what It Is, but I
do know It Is not Vesuvius."
"Ilut," said tho elderly gentle
man, wllh an air of triumph
you don't know what It Is. ho
you know It's not Vesuvius?
"Hecause," came the

menter with an angry glare, "be
