ldeaa and ear standards ot la
dlridual eoaduet juit about as
sweeping as the changes that
hare already bean ordered for
the operation of oar induttrlal
machine.
One ot th changes we need
to make I la relation to our at
titude toward debt. It might be
a rery healthful thing for at
to regain tha point ot rlew
which our grandfathers had In
regard to It.
In th aid days people had. If
not a horror ot It, at least a
rery distaste for going Into debt.
The proudest boast at the sol
rent, successful man was that
he owed ao men, a farthing
People borrowed only when they
had to, and they did to, atually.
with great reluctance.
No one needt to b told that
wa haraat got that riewpoint
any mora, ta th last decade or
ao tha hallmark ot the aueceee-
fnl man ha aot been hit ability
to keep oat ot debt but his abil
ity to get into it. It became an
accepted standard that the smart
maa used other people's money
la hit operations.
Jot only did business tirmt
borrow to expand their plants:
rich men borrowed to speculate
ia stock, poor men borrowed
to bay automobile, furniture
and what-not: and while many
of the results ot this were rery
good, the way In which it made
ua willing to mortgage oar fu
tures to satiety present wants
all in all. anything but
wholesome.
It led, furthermore, to - a ttul-
tifying ot our conception ot the
morale inrolred in the use t
other people' money. Many an
American town caa tell a tale
precisely like tha following:
A bank has folded ap In a
large manufacturing town. High
officers ot the bank bar been
rerealed a beary borrower
from It. Their debts hare not
been paid, and because they are
not paid the depositor! are hold
ing the sack.
Just what difference it there, I
essentially, between the hank
president who borrows from his
own bank to "inrest in stocks,
hoping that his proflta will en
able him to repay the loan, and
the little shoe shop cashier who
takes money from the . till to
play tha races?
It a too-ready acceptance ot
debt had not blunted our con
cept of right and wrong, w
would- not hare had a society ia
which inch things would hare
happened.

recorery act can be explained In

The Inside Story

WASHINGTON. July IS The
Roosevelt tent th London conference waa NOT th message he
wanted to tend.
There wat another more Important one which nerer eaw the
light ot day. It would bare held
nations of the world on the taboo
It wat thrown In the westehasket for obvious reasons. Tha
conference blew frost all over State Secretary Hull when he tried
to eugget such a mild thing as continuance of the temporary
tariff truce. It would bar tires a similarly frigid reception to
any definite propotala from th president. The only thing to do
wat to tare ta laea lor later,
the fall.
e e e
Wantons
Ererrthlng o fsr said about
the French goes double now.
Behind all th pretty phrase
at the closing conference session
our officials held the privately
bitter opinloa that tha Parlalans
promoted the frost.
Hull was barely able to eon
tain himself in his final speech.
Amid all hit happy words yoa
may hare noticed auch phrases
ss "malignant opposition:'
"those wantonly Inclined" to de
stroy the conference.
The French knew whom he
waa talking about.

The first result seems to be
tacit pegging on the pound
with the trsnc. That is denied
at London, but easentially proved
by exchange quotations. It prob
ably will be the only result for
a time.
World statesmen aeem to bate
each other a little mora than
they did. But that ia not im
portant.
There probably will be NO
world trade war except the one
which baa been going on all the
time.

Prospects
What la likely to happen now
it thit:
We will worry along with N.
I. R. A. and our domestic eltua
tkm until we caa stabilize pricea
and currency. After stabilita-
loa we will renew our pressure
for a world understanding on
currency and tariffs. No doubt
we will be compelled to offer
something definite ia order to
get the London delegate back
together again.
Nobody knows when the time
will come. November 1 is the
date the administration has in
mind. It believes stabilization
here will be accomplished by
then. That la why Hull tried to
get the conference to adjourn
to that date.

Gold
The inner circle bat been bum
ming for a week trying to help
the gold miner. i
Those in charge whisper that i
the embargo probably will be
lifted slightly to permit the gold
producers to eell abroad, but
not here. At least that is what
they have been trying to do.
Their efforts here been com

(To the Editor): Knowing

bitty small cry In the Wiidernest
of municipal-ownership dema
gogery. It wat the policy of the R.
r. C. last year not to advance
any money to municipalities for
the purpose of constr icting util
ities in opprwltion to those al
ready constructed. There is no
evidence to show that the New
Deal It contrary; It la certain
ly not the Intention to losd the
taxpayer with a lot more bonds
The self-llouidsilou ftnre is sn
erldsnce of that. In fact, one
of the lstet pronouncements of
th corporation is "(n The proj
ect ahould be toclally desirable ln
the sense of contribute - some
thing of ralne to the equipment
ot th community and should not
be a mere makeshift to supply
work."

you!
What Justification la there for
bringing surface water (moun
tain wtter) that will hare to be
treated to ba tafe. Into Klamath
Falls, when we have n!ent of

her that doea not need to be
treated? Is It to show that It
"contrlhnlea tomethlng of val
ue"? Throw that out, and we j
are confronted with a complete
system already built, requiring
no work for the unemnlnred, and
getting no consideration from
the R. F. C. Where la the Justi
fication for building an entire
new system, tearing op our
streete and parkings to lay new
pipes, and ditto to dig up the '
old? It looka Ilk an economic
waste to u. If we have to spend
1700,0000 for 18 miles of pipe
line and treating plant and
maintain It and run the risk ot I
breakage to get reconstruction '
money, where will be th 30
per cent taring the U. 8. do-1

In passing, where la the un
appropriated water within 35 I
miles that can he brought In "on
Its own power" to o"r reservoirs i
without pnmplnxT The city tt
one time had filings on several
scattered, miry springs, subject
to poltitlon, on Aspen mountain.
I happen to bar a turvey for
a prlrate party tiling on them.

If the people' Just must bare

advlseabl to buy the etlating

Now take the water filing.
Whether w like It er not. the
power company has control of
tha upper lake storata by Its
contraft tor tha construction of
Link rlrer dam. Suppose the
city builds a plant below Keno,
and the Copco should decide to
shut down for a week or a
month and should close the galea
at the Link rlrer dam. or sup
pose the Irrigation system re
quires all the mater for a month
or to. Could we alt wilhout
power, Uchta tnd water until
they got ready to turn down

the ralu ot a plant ot that
kind?
It we have to .have a municipal
plant, and have to deal with Cop
co, would It not seem to he the
right of wisdom to buy the
Link rlrer p!--t and water
rights? But again, ao work or

The protestations of Mr, kla
honey that water bonds are not
a liability of the property own

if backed ap by an opinion ot our
esteemed city attorney. Judge

Issued by the city. If not, why
an election? Let's buy us all
a new car with city bonds. And
suppose the power company
elects to continue ln business In
competition with th city, and
causes large losses to the city.
Who will pungle np? Can or
wilt you raise the rates? Or
would the taxpayer get the hot
seat? I ask youl
It may he recalled that we op
posed the construction of the dis
posal system at that time. How
It would fit now. How much
cheaper It could be built now.

In a consideration of poesl-
ble projects for the relief of un
employment, we wish to advance
the building of fire or more
concrete bridges across the ca
nal, and the construction of a
new gymnasium for the high
school on the Modoc site, both
badly needed. There was Includ
ed in the preliminary list of
projects, 150. 000 for csnal cov
erage. Thia was ahurdlr low,
and must have been Intended for
bridgea only. If the New Deal
ia to consist In throwing money
around, why waa not two mil
lion appropriated for canal cov

ect here for which the govern
ment could find a better excuse
for squsnderlng money on? But
sgaln we come Into collision
th the self-liuulilatlon restric
tion, in the case ot brldcee. or
gymnasium. But It we must
rote bonds, why not rote them
and stand on our own feet like
men, not apes with city hind legs
and government front legs (we
hare to run both ourselves, any
how). How about It, Tax
League?
Finally, I suppose It would be
considered a "gripe" If we Just
