Matnber Audit Bureau CircnlaUon Telephone 1100 A Danger Threatens Ua A GRAVE danger confronts the Klamath country. This danger ia losa of fnndi for com pletion .of tho Oregon end of the Weed-Klamtth highway. Tha altuatlon 1s thia: DlfUr nee of opinion to location of the route of the highway through Klamath Falls hav arisen. Thay art honest differences of opinion. Those who are backing both pro posed routes through town are sincere in their beliefs. But that doesn't alter th fact that a con troversy baa arisen. The long-established policy of th state highway commission, where local controversies over routes arise and can not be set tled, is to stop all actirities at once and apend the money ELSEWHERE, where there is BO controversy. The highway com mission has innumerable de mands for every dollar it has to apend. Completion of the Weed-Kla-math highway la tremendously important to the Klamath conn try. w can not afford the long delays that will undoubtedly fol low a hot dispute orer the loca tion of the route. The backers of both of the principal routes that are under consideration are good citizens. They have th welfare of this community at heart. Thle news paper appeala to them, as earn estly as It knows how, NOT to carry tbelr controversy to the point where It will endanger Im mediate completion of the high way. The commission's engineers hare mad a careful study of all locations. Their recommenda tions will be based upon this study. For the sake of the com munity's welfare. In order to get thia enormously important high way completed as soon as pos sible, let us assur th commis sion that whatever ita choice may be it will be accepted cheer fully by tb community as a whol. In that way. w can avoid a danger that la a very REAL din ger. Let na avoid this danger If we can. We need th Weed-Kla- math highway, and we NEED IT NOW.

THE KNIFE MAKE HER GIVE US AWAY- AND TALK- THAT'LL BE EASY- AND HERE IS THE KNIPE? 9HB QUIT SHAKIUQ- HASN'T OOT it- we KNOW E'LL THAT WOW- DON'T ABOUT Compromises Needed at London ParUjr A FEW weeks ago th leading world statesmen wer dis cussing th London conference in term of th VaeDonald Rooeerelt remark "W hav got to make It aucceed." Today thia fin sentence seems to hav bees forgotten, and th various delegate at London, oar own Included, ar evidently will ing to com to an International agreement ouly If they caa do without receding an Inch from their reepectlv national policies. A abort time ago they were telling us that agreement at Lon don waa a matter of the highest Importance. Today they ar act ing aa if th conference were som vast aort of poker gam in which th big Idea waa to get all yon eonld from th other fel low without giving up a thing yourself. America talks of general tar iff reductlona that will atlmulate world trade, but refuses even to discuss war debta and grows suddenly deaf when currency stabilisation la mentioned. England also talks of reviving International trade, but cllnga to trade agreement like the Ottawa pact and the recent agreements with Denmark. Argentina and the Scandinavian countries. Francs likewise Indulges In pious talk but clings to her gold stand ard, refuse to pay a dime on th war debts and hlnta at the establishment of a self-contained economic anlt by Franc and her colonies. . Japan prepare to dls case armament reductlona by In sitting that ah b permitted to build a nary aa strong as any i ob earth. j And so It goes, until on won-1 dora whether the people of the j world today hav yet reacuea stat of mind In which any im portant International agreement I posslbl. But It may be that th pessi mism created by early activities at London la not entirely Jus tified. After all, tbe reasons for the calling of th conference are still aa potent as they ever were. Tbe spokesmen for th various coun tries know that a complete fail ure of the present discussions would he nothing short of a catastrophe. An attitude of com plete lntranslgeanc may go very well at th beginning, but it la quite possible that a general modification of It will be seen before the discussions are ended. That, at any rat, la th way most of us prefer to look at It. Tbe Issues at stake at London are too Important to be allowed to fall Just because the various delegatea are afraid of compro mlse. Low Cost Farm Relief Tg R. AVERAGE CITIZEN will ivl doubtless hope that Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace was right when he said that the maxi mum processing taxes on wheat, railed for under the govern ment current acreage reduction plans, should not Increase the retail price of bread by more than half a cent a loaf. Secretary Wallace ia quite right in pointing out that bread costs do not alwaya follow the price of grain. A loaf of bread, as h remarks, often costa more when wheat prices ar low than It doea when they ar high. If th government la able to Increas th price received by th farmer for his wheat with out at th earn tlm making th ordinary cltlsen pay mora for his bread, it would aeem that the biggest single obstacle In the way of th new farm relief plan will hav been removed. HIDDEN NEVER 9 AWAY- WORRY THAT- m . '''ESgs: SIDE GLANCES cia ! e lt ft "I had to gW np atenogriphlc The National Whirligig Inside Story of Washington The News Behind the News By PAI L Power President Roosevelt called In Johnson a few days back and dusted him oft rather roughly. They managed to keep th affair quiet even from Johnson's associates but it has Important algnificanre. It seems the ex-general lumped into the coordinating business aa if he was still running tb army. He ripped th country Into sections with his own pocket knife. He named old army pala aa deputy assistant and administrators. Division chiefs were chosen without consulting any politician. It waa purely a one man show. That is It waa until Mr. Roose velt heard about It. Now Johnson is an industrial corporal Instead of a general, e e That is the real Inside reason why Mr. Roosevelt suddenly selected a committee from his cabinet to tak charg of things. The bosses now are Commerce Secretary Roper and Interior Sec retary Ickea. Roper la handling the industrial setup offstage. Ickes controls the public works feature, although no on I sup posed to know about It. Johnson not peruiillea to turn around without asking them. The restrslnt Is naturally Irk some to him. He called a cab inet committee meeting recently to get authority to do something of no Importance. Afterward he whispered to Roper that the ar rangement was silly. He sug gested they only call meetlnga on Important matters. Roper cautioned him about the president's orders. Johnson re luctantly agreed. The Incident Illustrates how completely Mr. Roosevelt dom inates the Washington picture. His friends whisper that he appreciates what a dangerous thing It Is to exert so much power. He apparently Is safe guarding it with aa many checks and balances as possible. If Johnson has any Idea of resigning he hss suppressed It. As a good soldier he can take ordera aa well aa give them. Hla personalltv somewhat resem bles that of 'Dawas. He Is an Ideal man for his Job. e Johnson had gone so far In ruling tbe Industrial board that be named Donald Sawyer as "Deputy Coordinator." Sawyer was Introduced by that title to photographers who took hla pic ture with Johnson.

Th roads want to nullify that provision which prevents their firing employee tbey think they can get along without. They know their chances of another wage cut are about as good as your chance of being elected president. With car loadings and earnlnga increasing they can not make out a case. What they appear to want Is a compromise. They may drop their wage cut demands It the administration will assure them that th Dill amendment will not be strongly enforced. Mr. Roosevelt has been very bitter underneath about what th roads have done. They practically thumbed their nose at hla wag Increase promotion work. Th. administration also has trlea. Confidential government reports Indicate some concerns hav cut wagea on the sly in th past fw weeks. Their strategy ia apparent. They will come out with Important an nouncements soon that they ar Incresslng wagea In accordance with th presidential program. They expect good publicity. It may not turn out so well. Th administration msy make It clear they ar merely restoring rscsnt wag cuta. e Interest A smart undercover rsmpaign to fore reduction ot federal In terest ratea Is now being organ ised. Senator Bone la directing it. Labor and veterana organ izations ar cooperating. Yon will see public develop ments shortly. It la quit pos slbl th next treasury financing msy b don differently, Th lest nln hundred millions wss put out around 2T4 per cent. It was over subscribed six times. It all the subscriptions war al lotted th government could hav financed around five bil lions at that rate. Th differ ence between that and th 4tt per cent paid on liberty bonds would malt a sizeabl saving. When th banks hear about It they will howl. Most ot th lib erties are held by banks. Som estimate 70 per cent, e Commodities There was a hot fight back stage on the farm control plan. One Agriculture Secretary Wallace hanged his fist on th eabint table and told everyone. Including the president, they could hav his Job any time they wanted. Th result was Wallace won a complete victory lor strong action on wheat and cotton. He was slated for a hack seat In the farm setup. Now h Is driving. On th hack seat Instead Is George Peek who thought It might b dangerous to start ex- perlment will th market going up. Tk Wallae trowd has very llltl hop of being able to bene fit eotto and wheat price this year. What they hav their eye on la neit ys.r's price. If their plsn works we may hav II wheat and II cent sol ton aeit year. Notes Johnson's phrase for th sweat shop Industrie la "th chiseling frlnie" of baslnesa . . .

New Yorkers consulted agreed with th administration thst noth ing must hsppen at London which would Jeopardise our do mestic price rise. Bo stabilisa tion was out. At th sam tlm we didn't want Europe to say that w kill ed th conference by refusing to cooperate. Th problem was to keep th ball rolling without commlttlnc oarselves to anything. Th Plttmsn plan ' does that neatly. It give th delegate something to chew on for weeks and weeks. Meanwhile whip and our will b used on domestic prices. Perhaps by tbe time the conference reachea an agreement they will be so high w might be willing to talk turaey on cur rencies. V The plsn was strategic In oth er reepecta. It waa deeignea to appeal to France a smaller el ites. That makes u nara ir th rrsnch to oppos it too vig orously. Llkswls It knocks out Frances idea ot mootming "gold bloc" to adjourn th con ference and blame us. Our Interference Is working Ilk a charm ahead of the backs carrying th price-rise football. It has blocked out both stabilisa tion and the debta aa tacklors. see Englsnd Is still working on our sld rathsr than with Kranc.
