CARSON'S NEW RICHES
..-George Campbell Carson.,
weather-beaten old "desert
rat" of the far southwest, j
stands to collect several
' million dollars from certain I
biff copper companies for :
infringements of patents '
used in the smelting fur- i
races. J
.. ,M the age of 0, this j
aged prospector will become :
a 'multi-millionaire. An in- i
vention that ' has sent mil
lions to other people will at 1
.last begin to mean millions ,
' to him.
VjlWe read about that with'
a thrill of satisfaction. It!
not only gratifies us to hear '
of a poor man suddenly be- j
coming fabulously wealthy;
there is the added fact that f
all too often the pioneers
and discoverers have made ;
vast fortunes for others, but;
have themselves died penni-!
less. . " ....
; 'V Carson is the exception, t
He is going .to' nave more
money than he ever will '
know what to do with. But i
itj is only by accident, the !
daring, foresight and' en-;
durance that have enabled .
men to win big prizes on !
the frontier have not al-
ways enabled them to hold '
onto them. ,
We might remember that, !
in the history of this
eduntry, it has, as a general '
thing, been less of an ac-;
complishment to make a for-:
tiine than to prepare the i
way for the wealth of others ;
The Imen fwho built the j
greatness of America are'
not, for the most part, the :
men who amassed great for- J
tunes; they were the silent
nameless unrewarded men !
who pushed on to the west :
from the struggling sea-j
board colonies, explored the j
vast wildernesses, drove the
Indians to cover, built cab-i
ins and tilled farms all the1
yi&y from western Pennsyl
vania to Oregon, struggled
tfirough the deserts and the 1
mountains of the southwest,
preparing the way for the :
men with the magic check-
book.
Occasionally, as in the
' case of George Carson, one '
. got his monetary reward, i
Hiit not often. We talk-l
glibly of millionaire "em-'
'pire builders;" the title real-'
l.v belongs to the old-time
pioneers, the covered wagon
men, the prospectors, the
roving : fur trappers, the ;
lonely homesteaders. They '
were the men who made I
possible the fortunes that
Were built later.
Legislative and Congressional
. We call attention to the need of electing a strong
legislative and congressional ticket. Klamath Falls no
longer slumbers in the cove of neglect and isolation.
We are now a part of Oregon. The things that affect
the state affect us.
For several years Jay Upton as senator, Denton
Burdick. Andy Collier and Kalph Hamilton as repre
sentatives, have looked after this district with care and
caution. This year there is an attempt to break into
their ranks and by "single shooting" some candidate,
see that an off horse is elected. It is wrong to permit
this. We may quarrel with the legislature, and wc
may disagree with many of their acts, but the fact
remains that it is difficult to get as substantial and as
firm a delegation from a district as Klamath now has
in Upton, Burdick, Hamilton and Collier.
They represented you at the time when you were
on the branch line, when it required days to make the
journey into Klamath and they did the job well. Now,
that things have shaped up so that this community is
a decided part of the state what is the use to change
when you have good men on the job?
In the congressional matter R. R. Butler of The
Dalles is able. He is sure to be recognized with com
mittee appointments of importance if he is elected, and
thereby will take the place occupied by Nick Sinnott
and carry on for this section of the state in a way that
his opponent could not possibly do.
The News recommends the election of Senator Jay
Upton to the state senate, Denton Burdick, Andy
Collier, and Ralph Hamilton to the house, and R. R.
Butler to the national congress.
You need men with experience in legislation. A new
man spends a term or two finding out what it is all
about. And if some of the big questions come up. as.
they surely will, you should have people on the job
who know what it is all about.

Governor Al Continues To Lose
Nothing i, more pitiful than to see a pugilist in
combat with a man who .outclasses him ; to see the
blows fall and the come-back of the man hit unable
to. make a good showing.
That is what is going on with Governor Smith. He
is licked politically and his blows at his opponent have
ceased to be amusing they are pitiful.
Poor Al. He is groggy and stumbling. He knows it,
for the New York governor can sense a political atmos
phere better than the average Chicago voter can see
a two-dollar bill on election day. ,
It is but a few days until the verdict will be written
and Tammany's pet will be covered with a deluge of
ballots in defeat.
Right that it should be so. Governor Smith, as a
representative of Tammany Hall, should 'never have
asuired to the presidency. He comes from the consum
ing section of the nation and his whole' iife'is bent to
protect the consumer. Throughout the other sections
of the nation, the producer holds sway, and why should
a producer vote for Al. Smith? ,
There is positively no reason.
The man who raises sheep, who raises cattle, who
produces wheat or manufactures lumber is ail wrong
when he votes for Smith. Smith's crowd consumes all
of these products and naturally wants them as cheaply
as possible. Tariff means nothing to New York if New
York can buy its pork chops or its mutton chops a
little cheaper. - i
If such a thing should happen as the election of
Smith and that is apparently impossible we would
see the sorest bunch of western people ever known.
They would curse the day the alleged Al Smith
drink led them away from sound thinking. They would
be very critical of the fellow with the derby hat when
he began to dish out his political soup to the nation,
and it was found as it surely would that the west,
middle west, and north were not considered, but that
the populace centers of the east were the only ones
to be thought of.
Governor Al is continuing to lose every day, just
as he should. We want no Tammany chief for presi
dent of this nation, and ve are not going to have him,
thanks to a sensible people who have registered this
year and intend to cast their votes, not for New York
City, but for the general welfare of the American
people. '

Why the Airport?
The measure on the ballot to provide for an
airport in Klamath Falls should carry unanimously.
No city can take its place in the sun these days
without a modern airport, and this is the only way that
one can be secured.
Vote for the airport measure. It i3 just as needful
as the deficit measure, giving added funds to the city
council to spend. Both are essential, for. the council
cannot build a town without funds, and the town can
not go forward without an airport.
Let us call your attention to a thing or two regard
ing the building of cities. If you live in a city that is
growing you must furnish the money for improvements.
If you prefer not to do that you should move to a town
that is already built Eugene or Roseburg, or "some
other good old fashioned city where the people go to
bed at 8 o'clock in the evening. But if 'you are to re
main a citizen of Klamath Falls, you must expect to
hit the ball and do your part one of the things
necessary is the support of the airport measure and
another is the authorization of the city to exceed its
six per cent limit for improvements and provide the
public servants with money to go forward.
All of us can unite and stop Klamath's growth
over night by refusing to vote these things. Do you
want that growth to stop?

To t ho People of Klamath Falls W
When I quit the ncwipaper buiineis in Klamtth Falls
two. year 11150, I mndn a retolution that never aain would
I t&lce part in ny of the political affairi of. th!a .community.
Bui I would be false to every sento of loyalty and rocreant lo
every trust and confidence reposed in me by i.ty friend in
thi city and county if I remained silent at this lime and per
mit to go unchallenged a program that will speil u'tnster lo
Klamath Falls and Klamath county. ..That is why I am ad
dressing this statement today', and others that will follow, to
' the people of this community.
HAVE YOU FORCOTTEN?
It seems but yesterday, that this city and county were in
the throes of a battle for and agtinit the entrance of the North
ern lines. Tens of thousands of dollars were fre.-ly spent and
every influence that could be marshalled was a rnjed acainst
- the entrance of another railroad. The Southern Pacific com
pany was exercising every bit of influence it could muster to
drive through the city council legislation that would give it
an air-tight grip on this city and make it almoit impossible
for the Northern lines lo gain a foothold in Klamath Falls.
Chief among those lined up on the side of the Southern
Pacific was Fred Cofer, then a member of the city council, and
now a candidate for the office of meyor of this city.
Have you forgotten the memorable struggle waged in the
city council, when Mayor Goddard and Councilman Powell ,
stood alone in an effort to prevent the granting of franchises
to Ih'e Southern Pacific franchises that would have closed
the city to the Northern lines?
Have you forgotten how Cofer on every vote stood against
Goddard and Powell? How if Goddard had not vetoed and
fought, Klamath Falls would today be a one railroad town and
all of the great development and prosperity that this city and
county are now enjoying would not have materialized?
And yet after all this, he hns the temerity to come before
the people of Klamath Falls and ask them to place him at the
head of their government. Two years ago he did not stand for
re-election to the council, and he would not be. a candidate for
mayor today if he t.nd his supporters did not believe that the
people of this city had forgotten.
Have you forgotten how he was active in the fight for the
closing of the streets of Klamath Falls, that they might he
handed over as a free gift to the Big Lakes Box company and
the Klamath Heating company? Where is the modern plant
that was to be immediately constructed by the Big Lakes Box
company if the grant were made? Where is the great expansion
and development that was lo follow and furnish additional .
employment for scores of workingmen?
Where is the concrete wall and the modern sprinkling
system that were to inclose and control the mammoth sawdust
pile that is such a menace and nuisance to every home in its
. vicinity and every business house in the center of the city?
Have you heard Mr. Cofer osk any of these questions or
demand the fulfilment of the promises upon which he claimed
at that time his votes were br.sed?
v . r-. Have you forgotten the special grant given for the con
struction of the dike along the water front of Lake Ewauna, and
which later was illegally transferred to the Southern Pacific
all for the purpose of blocking the entrance of the Northern
lines into Klamath Fells?
Where was Mr. Cofer when all this was going through the
council? He was on the side of the obstructionists. Yet, today
he comes to the people of Klamath Falls and asks them to place
him in the highest office witMn the gift of this city.
What is there in his record to justify such a request? What
is there in his record to lead you to believe that he will better
the work for your interests as mayor then he did as councilman?
What is there in his record to lead you to believe that he will
not arise as an obstructionist in case another railroad seeks
entrance to Klamath Falls during his adminiatrttion, if he is
elected?
I can sec nothing. But I can see th&t there is a possibility
a strong probability that before two years pass by there may
be repeated a struggle as memorable, as the one waged to keep
the gates of this city open to the Northern linea. The develop
ment of Klamath Falls is but starting, but we must not forget
that it can be stopped, end it will be stopped unless a halt is
called to some of the things that have been rampant in this city
nnd county during the past two years.
'. I come to the people of thi city and county to found, a I have so
often done before, a note of warning; against the progreai of certain
. achemes of (elfish and designing individuals who hnve all but wrecked
this city, and who, if successful in their plans, will cost this city pay-
. rolls of nearly three million dollars a year, as they have already cost .
it one payroll of nearly two million dollars... It is this loss and this pro-'
gram that caused me to set aside my resolution and come to you once
more to plead for the welfaro of this city, for the prosperity of its peo
ple, for the continuance of the development that is today making it the
envey of every city in the state. I am recalling to your mind a record
you may have forgotten, so that when you go to the polls you will'
.remember, and you will cast your ballot with the full knowledge of all
the facts.
Why the candidacy of Mr. Cofer? Is it because he is a better
business man, better qualified, more honest, possesses a better re
cord than Mr. tWatters? None of these!
He is a candidate primarily because those who arc most active
in his support declare there will be a letting down of the bar if ho
is elected. On every hand you hear that Watters ha been too siring-'
ent in the enforcement of the prohibition law and that he "has hurt
business, keeping out of Klamath Falls the lumber jacks). and tho '' ,
spenders. I cannot believe that this represents' the feeling of the
working men of this city. I can see where it can be the standard
of certain business men, whose one god is money and whose professed
interest in the laborer is not for his moral or physical uplift, but ' '
eimply because they fear the money they seek may be diverted to
other channels. I do not bniieve 11m vrcrking men of thi community '
have changed in the pest two ; cr. j Is where they will stand for
the flourishing business of ths Lo jjcj grr. Whether a man is for
or against prohibition, ho is for law enforcement- and I do not be.
licve there is in this city any considerable number of people who
will go on record by their votes as favoring open defiance of any law.
So much has been said about the arresting of working men that
I am going to have the records examined and I will tell you what
they disclose. One thing is sure tho law has been enforced to a
degree seldom seen in this city and it has been done with entire free
dom from graft and corruption. It is a record of which the people ?
of this city have reason to be proud and one that should be approved
by the overwhelming election of Mr. Watters us mayor of this city
