T slrpn one 877 No. 1 Member Audit Bureau of Clrrulatlou A DIFFERENT SLANT The editorial perspective of this column is almost entirely local. We don't go gallavant ing all over the map for top ics of discussion, but think constantly and persistently in terms of Klamath. This may seem stupid, but there is hu man nature enough here of various kinds to keep one guessing and what may not just appeal to our readers one day will, almost assuredly please the next. Yesterday we touched on the .possibility of getting too many stores and too many bus inesses. Almost immediately somebody hit back. The let ter must have been written at the breakfast table for we received it before noon. The urgency of the protest show ed that it meant business. We likarthat-!.We "ke to feel that; readers are interested and on the job. It doesn't of neces sity mean we always agree, so long as we are both sincere. Intelligent discussion helps both sides, but for all our sakes, it is best' not to lose one's temper. This man thinks certain businesses are in need of com petition 4fK make them spruce up.,j He says it looks bad to have', dirty' stores and dirty windows and slovenly ways of doing things. He adds: "I could write you for hours about different things you need here, including houses that are fit to live in and gar ages big enough to store a car in without getting it all scratched up trying to get in and out." He goes on to say that he has come to Klamath with his family and intends to go into business here whether or no. After rapping us pretty well over the knuckles, he con cludes with this fatherly ad vice : "I don't want you to get the Im pression that I'm knocking the town, 'cause I'm not. In fact, I am very much enthused over lt and Intend to make my home here, tut firmly believe It is time our main street took on an atmosphere of a business district and not look so much like one of the back streets in some of our sister towns. And, Mr. Editor, you will find if the present population doesn't wake up, the other fellow will." All of which is very much to the point. The News has no intention of discouraging any newcomer, but on the con trary will gladly do all it can to help him feel at home. What we are aiming at par ticularly is the itinerant type of adventurer who breezes in and out without definite re sponsibility, and with no inten tion of staying. Those who tliink enough of Klamath to vant to make their stake here will find welcome enough and to spare; and in this instance the editor will appreciate a call from the gentleman at his convenience. The worry of Oregon today is taxes. The real reason more people don't come to Or egon is taxes. And the only passible salvation in a life-and-death struggle is more taxes. But why jump on the little fellow? The proposed com mission to investigate tele phone rates blazes the trail to tremendous resources, and actual money. And by the same identical method of rea soning we can take a quiet look-in on the electric light charges. If nothing is wrong nothing can be hurt. But if by any hocus-pocus of luck we discover a veritable gold mine of taxable wealth, possibly the Governor will declare a legal holiday and give us all a chance to celebrate. The hills and valleys would fairly shout for joy, if the farmers could be relieved of oppressive burdens, and the power com panies could be made to pay any back taxes apparently ov erlooked. The ma' lematics are so simple a school girl could readily figure them out. The place to get tax money is where taxable profits really exist. All the conjuring of all the magicians won't make rev enue from bankrupt farms, and unless our law-makers are slower than we think, some thing may be doing before long in line with common sense and reason. THERE IS A LIMIT (Oregon Journal) la there ever to be an end to thit lawa regulating aut.iniuliilea, auto mobile driven and everything elite connected with automobiles aud their operation? Aa It stands, the automobile la licensed, the driver Is licensed, there must be a certificate showing own ership, there must be certain kinds of lights, there must be a certain number of lights, must be point ed tu a particular direction, and so on and so forth. Now they tell us, more proposals aa to just how driv er are to drive, aa to what U tu be on the windshield and what Is not to he, and requiring that everybody have a windshield swliie. Next It will be how many wheels an auto mobile Is to have, where they are to be placed, the driver will have to have a certificate showing that they are his who Ik, they will have to be licensed, and then a few more traf fic police will have to be employed to see that the wheels are on the car, that they belong to the owner, that th'y are licensed, that they are pointed in the right direction, and that they are the right kind of wheels and that they turn as wheels should turn. Isn't It rofttlie, some way or oth er, for an automobile owner to have a little something to say about his own car. what la to be on It. and what he is to do with it. so long as he operates his car safely and in ac cordance with the rules of the road? It is necessary that automobiles and drivers be regulated, but there ts also a point nt saturation. ILLINOIS SENATOR DENIED HIS TOGA (Continued from Pag One) BEND MAKES COMPLAINT FREE SPEECH (Oregon Journal) A group of clehgymen in that city Insist that Ben Llndsey. famous juvenile court justice, shall not deliver a public address which he is scheduled to make in Knoxville. Tenn. How widespread is the idea in this country that some may speak their beliefs but others must not? The American: revolution fought. for one thing, that the right of free speech should never be abridged. Free speech Is the most precious right a people can have. It ia the cornerstone of human freedom, and if lt is lost, free government will perish from the earth. I Bend Bulletin) "This is getting to be a hell of a town to live in." re-marked the effice caller the other day. Of course -he didn't mean that as a sweeping generality, and he ad mitted us much a minute later, but he had a real foundation of (act for his statement, nevertheless. His wife, walking downtown the day before had been accosted by two street corner loafers at one of the main business intersections. One of the mashers did the . talking, the other looked on with an amused grin. The man's method of approach was plausible. He apparently had mistaken her for another woman, and apologized courteously when his error was explained to him. But then he asked for information as to dances in Bend. Inquired if the wo man on whom he had inflicted him self were married, and even after learning that this was so. suggested almost insisted that she "step out" with him.
