Klamath Showa Sign, of
Growing Pain
THE petition seeking to clear
Main street ot its loitering
men represents th. growing
peine ot a young city. It repre
aenta th. influence ot admirable
respectability and community dig
. aity. It means th. careless, rough
spirit ot Klamath Fells' frontier
childhood faces further, natural
elimination.
Klamath Falla no longer cares
to cultivate th. rs!th.r mistaken
reputation It has In Oregon. This
cltr has been considered Just an
eccentric state commnnlty where
th. character of th. West la In
ran force. And while th. real
character of th. West I still pre
served. Klamath Falls can tell
the state it Uvea a normal civic
life.
Main street has been a nuis
anceoften. Women have gon.
ont et their ways to avoid th.
congestion In front ot pool halls.
Pedestrians have found it diffi
cult to continue freely along the
sidewalks. Visitors have been dis
mayed. It would be almost Impossible
to throw the men who stand in
front ot the pool halls Into th.
city Jail on charges of vagrancy.
Too, it wonld b. almost a physi
cal Impossibility to station an of
ficer along the streets permanent
ly, and It might b. an Infringe
ment on personal right, to tag
men for "parking" as though they
were automobiles.
The condition of Main street
along th. two blocks in question
ia less annoying than it was a few
Fears ago. Each year, as the city
grows, the condition will be less a
nuisance and eventually th. ob
' J ecu of complaint will be oft the
chief street and with them will
go the loiterers.
Haste la Preparing For
Formal Repeal
yr A special session of the state
X legislature 10 caueo. 11 tue bwmi
liquor advisor committed- is to
make formal recommendations,
and If a liquor control committee
ia to b. named, hast, shonld be
considered.
The victory of repeal in two
more states, Idaho and New Mex
ico, promises swift, 100 per cent
repudiation ot prohibition. Only
five more states ar. needed to
ratify th. amendment, and six
states will have voted by the end
of th. first week in November.
The formalities ot ratification
can be concluded early in Deem
ber, so there Is not much Urns to
formulate acceptable plans for
liquor control and taxation.
The Phosphorous Formation
in Deschutes County
REND and Deschutes county
thought it had discovered
some new wonder In Its magnifi
cent country a few weeks ago. A
peculiar oil or phosphorous for
mation to use the description of
L. A. Nixon, forester with a low
ignition point apparently caused
soma minor fires In the woods.
Bend, for a moment, thought it
had found a product of vital in
terest to the world.
On. tire waa put out Just a. It
started. It was burning In th.
middle of a gravel road near Sis
ters, and was no bigger than a
half-dollar piece. The flames
wer. of bluish color and were
from on. to two Incbes In height.
They gave off an odor similar to
a burning match. It ia suspected
visions of a new industry wer.
abundant In the Deschutes para
dise, for within few minutes af
ter this tiny ftr. was uncovered,
dosen or more were burning In
a 20-foot radius.
Bend, eager to ascertain th.
true sonrc. of this phenomenon,
questioned Lynn Cronemlller,
state forester. But alas, nothing
of timber talus was brought to
Deschutes county. Th. we. fires
had been set by the sua after bits
of rockets or amok, bombs bad
been dropped by a plan, search
ing -for th. three men lost on Mt.
Jefferson.
NRA Refuses to Make Edu
cation More Difficult
KEEPING the NRA out ot edu
cation has been advised by
Or. George F. Zook, commissioner
of education at Washington. And.
incidentally. Commissioner Zook
was th. man who cam. to Oregon
aa th. prospective chancellor of
th. higher education system, and
then waa rejected tor Dr. Kerr.
Dr. Zook, formerly president
ot Akron university, has gon. be
fore the administrators ot th. na
tional recovery act and won ex
emption tor students working
their ways through college. They
will neither b. forced to abide by
th. wag. nor honr requirement.
This will make financing th. col-
leg, career no more difficult than
It la, and certainly maintain a'
humanitarian spirit In education.
Fires have been started in the
Deschutes country from sparks
dropped by airplanes. Things
considering the vine-growing po
tatoes, too era usually done In a
reverse manner np there.

The Inside Story From
Th. Capital
By PAl'L MALLON
Copyright. 1013, by Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON. Sept. SO Th.
administration economic doctors
are mixing np another new stim
ulating concoction back In the
Inner laboratory.
Th. basic idea Is to us. gov
ernment fund, for Influence, or
both, to promote installment
buying.
The doctors frankly ar not
elated about (he prospective bene
fits ot th. n.w medicine. But
they may trot It out publicly
shortly. If th. big doctor In the
Whlt. Hout. will put his O. K.
on it.
Their present idea is that It
may move goods faster and Is
worth a trial.
e
Th. trouble la that over-indulgence
In Installment buying is
on. of the main causes ot out
present headache. People bought
mora than they could pay for
in pra-depreaslon years. Their
income was mortgaged beyond
Ita ability to pay. When th. In
come, were curtailed or stopped,
collectors had to take back ths
goods.
Th. whole picture Is different
today. Prospects are that the
national income will Increase
slowly but surely.
That msy make tbe Idea worth
while.
e v
SPOT
Every insider recognizes ' Mr.
Roosevelt Is In his tightest place
politically.
The public mind has been edu
cated to the expectation ot in
flation. Most business Is now
being conducted on that theory.
The farm plan Is not working
extra well. The NRA Is all right
as far as It goes. The people
(as represented by congress I are
turning on terrific heat for what
they have been educated to ex
pect th. old Inflationary pul
motor. It Is apparent to every Wash
ington observer to satisfy ths
popular demand.
The Ideal thing would be some
thing which would appease the
inflationists and yet avoid the
very dangerous commitments
which a real inflation would
bring.
That Is what they have been
searching for. That Is why you
have beard nothing but silence
from the White House in re
sponse to the wails of the in
flation agitators.
e
DOLLAR
This does not mean th. dol
lar devaluation-commodity dol
lar remedy is losing ground. It
is Just as certain to come as
heaven, hell and taxes.
Mr. Roosevelt has been bid
ing his time on It as a matter
ot common sense. It Is the big.
gest rabbit he has in his hat
If he pulls it out first, the clim
ax Is over. If he can keep the
show going with a lot of little
rabbiU, he will feel mora conv
fortable.
The betting still favors the
Oct. 15 date on the supposition
that no suitable little rabbits
will be found. That is Just a
good guess now.
e
COURAGE
Administration agents out In
the country report the people
generally are somewhat bewild'
ored. Most of them do not un
derstand the workings of the
NRA, farm plan or other rem
edies. Their confidence In the
president is being maintained
but some doubts are beginning
to arise about the immediate fu
ture ot business.
That shonld not be.
Washington thinks it under
stands the NRA and farm plan.
It is generally not as optimistic
abont them as the country. Yet
there Is no doubt In the mind
of anyone here that the upward
trend is fixed and certain. There
will be dips and curves but no
abyss.
To think otherwise is foolish.
It is Just like betting that Mr.
Roosevelt is going to commit a
terrific blunder, when you have

Felix Frankfurter had a secret
luncheon meeting ot th. best
legal brains in town recently.
He Is a brain trustee who has not
figured lu publicity, but Is very
Influential backstage.
The idea ot this meeting waa
to determine unofficially th.
legal situation ot th. NRA. From
th. start th. greatest undercover
danger there har. been was the
possibility that 4 he program
might get Involved In the courts.
Stories have been planted around
that th. NRA would Ilk. a teat
ot Its constitutionality. That
la merely publicity hooey.
Th. Frankfurter gathering
agreed that th. practical thing to
do would be to stall off legal In
terference with the NRA until
after December 1 It possible.
Then It would not matter much.
That probably will be the
policy.
e e
NOTES
General Johnsons brother
(Alexander) Is supposed to hare
been slipped luto a place in the
legal division of th. commerce
department. He may later get an
appointment on the shipping
board. That makes nearly ine
whole Johnson family involved In
th. government service but their
combined salarlea ar. not much
more than Donald Hichberg's.
Tammanyitca are grumbling
that the administration la back-
handing them in th. N.w York
mayoralty.
e
When Mr. hoosevelt got an
other cold th. other day. Wall
Streeters kept the long distance
telephones to Washington busy.
They figure now that every time
the president catchea a cold It is
a convenient one and that he
really la figuring up some new
magic.

Telling the
Editor
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore (To
the Editor) In your editorial In
"The Day's News" of recent date
you refer to tbe potato-bearing
vine recently mentionea in me
Bend Bulletin tn such a manner
that a reader would imagine that
you did not believe implicitly in
the news story. While not sc-
cuslnn too of being a Doubt
ing Thomas," your editorial leads
one to believe you lean that way
in some degree.
Man s wonderful strides In re
cent years, considering the auto
mobile, radio, wireless telegraphy
and long distance telephonic
achievements, apparently has led
Mother Nature to try her band In
accomplishing the almost unbe
lievable, and putato-bearing vines
do not seem any more remarkable
than some of man's wonderful
works, even if the story does
eminate from Deschutes county
Horticultural accomplishments
have been variable and wonder
ful tn recent years. Among the
most wonderful coming to my
personal attention Is a tree grow
ing on my place a Bhort distance
from Klamath Falls. Three or
four years ago during the potato
harvest, several potato bags were
left in one corner of the field,
overlooked in cleaning up after
the harvest. The following sea
son a small tree was noticed
Browing in this corner, and care
was taken not to destroy It, as
it was apparently a species
strange to this community.
This year the first fruit was
blossomed and matured, and to
the surprise ot all this fruit de
veloped into a full-grown potato
bag exact counterpart of the
bags left in the corner years ago.
The tree also sprouts slender
thorns, very easily converted into
needles for sewing the sack, and
to still further demonstrate Its
of Leisure?

the troubles ot th. potato rancher
It Is my Intention to plant some
red Ink and printing charartera

the printed ssrks, but In order
to do this It may become neces

Further research wilt b. made

bit too much to ask of our great
benefactress during these days
of NRA and unemployment.
Now, Mr. Editor, you may
doubt the facts mentioned her.
but If you will coma out to my
plac. I will willingly show you
some ot the sacks barve ted from
this tree, which should remove
all doubt. And this Is only one
more proof that th, rich soil ot

Hamilton wishes this fact to be
thoroughly understood by the
parents of the school children.
It Is a precaution against the
