Shifting the
Three Farmers
Who pays taxes in the Klamath irrigation
district?
Not President t Bradbury, or, Secretary
Thomas 'of the. district board.
And not their friend and supporter, Char
les .Wood Eberlein.
Perhaps Bradbury and .Thomas are tp be
indulged non-payment. They have no repu
tations as successful producing farmers.; The
hard life of a dirt farmer may be too strenuous
for them. Bradbury would be a politician
and lead his followers down and .out of the .
promised land of irrigation. Thomas cannot, ,
by the wildest stretch of imagination, be class
ed as a successful farmer.
In any event the taxes of, Bradbury and
Thomas are carried by the rest of the district
on certificates of delinquency. At least Brad
bury is consistent in his philosophy of rule
among the ruins for he does only what he. ad
vises the rest of his followers to do, and that
'. is not to pay their taxes.
, - But why Eberlein, land speculator, extra
ordinary, should have his taxes relinquished
and saddled on the rest of the farmers who
work to make their land pay is a mystery,
remaps, in the logic or these gentlemen,, it is ;
because Eberlein, like Bradbury and Thomas,
is not a successful farmer.

If Eberlein had been broke and down and
out he might have been entitled to Bradbury's
sympathy. But he had just profited to the
extent of $142,000 on the sale of a terminal
site to the Oregon Trunk. Extreme poverty
was no plea. '
The secret is that Bradbury, as a politi
cian, knows the value, of building an organiza
tion. And the wheels of his organization
; work perfectly. He looked after his cam
paign manager of last year, P. C. Carlson, to
f the tune of $900, and if there is a farmer in
, Klamath county who thinks that was on the
level, let him stand up in the meeting at .Hen
ley today and yell for Bradbury.
A newspaper is . essential to the proper
workings of a political organization, so Brad
bury has two of them. Jacob helps support
one newspaper at Malin, and is valuable to
Bradbury because he will do exactly what
Bradbury says. Otherwise Jacob is harmless.
Eberlein with his $142,000 helps support the
notorious publication in Klamath Falls.
No, Voters, the reason of Eberlein's ability
to dodge his taxes and make you pay them,
is no mystery. Get the dust out of your eyes
and make this election on Tuesday tell the
world you can't be fooled by this crew.

Sunny Dick Says
Don't They Know It:
A little ruffle here,
"a Uttle fluffle there.
Catches all the eyes of men
And .makes 'em .star?.
Last week President Coollrige
promised to make nine formal
speeches, setting definite dates,
and accepted five more invita
tions to talk, dates to be announc
ed later. "Silent Cal."
.'The wife says one advantage of
a formal opening is that you can
look and look to your heart's con
tent and not feel that you have to
buy. It was a new and agreeable
sensation for her to have a pleas
ant lady clerk Intone, "Well. I'm
sorry; but I couldn't sell you this
tonight, you know. ' Tomorrow,
surely."
These formal openings are be
coming all the rage In Klamuth.
It certainly draws a lot of poten
tial customers.. They like It, too.
Just wait until all our stores start
having 'em. Fall openings, Spring
openings, etc., with maybe a few
living models strutting their stuff
Just like the big league stores do.
At the grand opening of our
new department store a subtle and
unquestionably intentional com
pliment was paid to the men. The
flowers advertised as to be given
to all women visitors didn't last
30 minutes, but the cigars for tho
men good cigars, too lasted the
full two hours of the opening.
Don't tell me that store manager
doesn't know who pays the hills.
Prefect Kmln Bey, of Con
stantinople police, has provided
his men with stout planks Dril
ling with nails, to be cast In front
of speeding cars that refuse to
stop. It certainly looks as though
Turkish speeders are going to be
nailed.
It Is basely rumored that the
county court has set out holly
trees 'in the court house lawn as
a far-sighted economy. At Chrixt
mas each year the customary holly
wreaths for decorating the county
building and Jnll can bo made
from the home-grown raw mat-terlals.

The shoo repairer disappeared,
and a .moment or so later one boot
came hurtling down at his custo

"Hut what about the other?"
he cried.
"That's all you'll get!" came
the boot maker's angry rejoinder.
