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.

"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

learning that this was so. suggested
