KLAMATH FAljJ s S I OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS An InJnJent Republican & - falO 0 .4 A.. County: no, lu,. o, ,r ,,,7.,, Hut Try and Keep It! Assessor's Theory Driven to Despcratim oow o AV7 It Working THE KLAMATH DAILY NEWS 1 County Assessor Wm. T. Lee has served notice that he is increasing the assessment val ue of private timberlands throughout the county. It va3 r.ot necessary, of course, for him to serve any such notice of his intentions. But he did. And the possible reasons behind it is interesting. This, for instance: The county court could spend the money on its re-cruise, at the mad rate at which it started, almost as fast as it could be collected in taxes. And the re-cruise was shown to have not shown any justifiable results. Ap parently the county court has taken the hint and is spending very little, so far, of the $20. 000 it has levied for re-cruising purposes. In fact Judge Bunnell has indicated that unless there was some indication of results that he would abandon the re-cruise plans. So, in this respect the serving notice by Assessor Lee may have had its effect. There is a great deal of difference, appar ent to even the most brain benighted voter, be tween collecting say $40,000 in additional taxes a year and spending $100,000 at the rate of $20,000 a year for an annual return of comparatively nothing. Lee has increased the timber valuations on the theory that transportation and propos ed development now make it more valuable. His theory is all right. And there is room for it in a much broader field. There is now a great deal of industrial property that for years has been nothing more than farm lands. Most certainly it has increased in value. Speculat ors seem to think so, at least. And if Assessor Lee's theory is still working there is every chance that there will be many more changes on his rolls this year upwards. Plant a Tree It Makes for Happiness and Prosperity After remaining quiet through the winter the tree planting campaign of the Chamber of commerce is again gathering headway. It is one of the most creditable undertakings the chamber has to its credit. There is no background that a city may have that so reflects to its credit. It indicates to the newcomer that the city has a citizenry which is prideful, and of such character that it would be well to join. The trees wave branches of welcome to him. But aside from trees as a city asset they mean much more to the planter. The sturdy trees, all too few though they are, that now line some of the streets are mighty fine monu ments to those who planted them. And there is no finer or more inspiring work than setting out a tree with a thought of all that it means in the enjoyment of those who are coming after. Also of the appreciation that it gives to one s own self. New York, with a Democratic governor, is showing the rest of the country the way. Back in 1915 Ehhu Root made recommendations as to consolidation. Now the New York gover nor is pushing a Republican majority in his legislature to action by appointment of Charles E. Hughes as head of a commission to work out consolidation. Laws made many state agencies in the state of New York. The governor is out to simplify those laws. "Riding Habits Cheap," says an advertise ment in a metropolitan paper. Walking habit's cheaper and contributes to the health as well as to the pocketbook.

The spirit of Improvement Is not always the same as the spirit of liberty, or even in sympathy with it, for It may aim at forcing Improvements on an unwilling people.
