Also, the peo ple of Oregon recently voted down the aalea tax 6 to 1, which was the same as the proposed city tax. only clothed In differ ent language. "Second, we regret that the city officials, or any of them, abould insist upon making tax collectors out of the merchants of thia city. Common knowledge teaches that the ultimate con sumer of merchandise must pay all expense of doing business. Including taxes, and It Is but fair to all concerned to be open and stale the case aa It is. There can be no city sales tax In Klam ath Falls without the dinner table in every home paying its part of that tax: neither can there be a child In school clothed without the proposed city aalea tax taking its tithing from the merchandise supplied to that child. "Third, we are opposed to at tempting to raise more public revenue at the present time when every individual is aiding his creditors by extension of time and declaring moratorium on interest and principal pay ments. We fail to see why the city hall cannot join the people in the policy of curtailment of public expense Just as every merchant has had to curtail his personal and store expense. In lact, we appeal 10 me nuouiauw mayor and city council rather ' than to force or attempt to force ' a aales tax on the people of Klamath Falls, thus raising prices to the consumer, that a ; united effort be made to reduce : public expense, pray for exten- ' aion of time on city lnaeoieaness It such should be necessary and thus act in harmony with pres ent conditions and the people whom the oftfcials serve." Cunning made the motion at the afternoon merchants' meet- Inv that IhA resolution onnosiner the measure be drawn up. R. C. 'Woodruff, Dick Reeder and Mr. Mashburn were named on the resolutions committee. State Political Leaders in Favor Of Canal Project A quick response from Ore gon's delegation in congress has been received by the Klamath Falls League of Women Voters which has recently carried on an active campaign for covering the government canal, and has en listed the support of virtually all t the local civic and service or ganizations. Resolutions favoring the covering of the canal were aigned and sent to Washington, D. C, late last week. Mrs. H. W. Poole, president of the league, has received a wire from Senator Charley McXary in which he announces a favorable attitude toward canal coverage, and asserts that he will present the matter to the secretary of in terior at once. Congressman Walter P le r c e writes that he will do all in his power to obtain canal coverage for Klamath Falls, and Represent ative James W. Mott has tele graphed that he is strongly in favor of the move, and that he has already urged the project up on H. M. Walte, administrator of public works. Membership In the Klamath League of Women Voters is steadily growing, and the regular meeting of the organization will be held Tuesday, morning at 11 o'clock at the chamber of com merce. I Commissioner C. R. Williams and County School Superintend ent Fred Peterson will address the meeting on the coitnty and school budgets, matters which are of vita Interest and importance to all taxpayers in the community.

Oil EQUAL STATUS (Con tinned from Pas One) rath, recalling Germany'! pre vious withdrawal from the par ley, said: "Obviously Germany's aim then aa now was to accept the failure of the conference as a fact and content herself with such a disastrously negative re sult. Germany then, you will recall, immediately attempted to overcome the deadlock by diplo matic negotiators.' Other Powers Opposed He declared that Germany had realized In the last week that no sincere eforta toward disarmament could be expected from the other powers. He add ed that future developments lay with the heavily armed nations such aa France, Italy and Eng land, and reiterated his denial that Germany was asking to re arm. "It is mockery he said, "when others speak against Ger man rearmament instead of re ognizing the necessity of real disarmament.' "For firs years before the dis armament conference began' Von Kenrath continued in his press statement, "we tried to show the way to disarm, but only detours were discussed. We waited until the last moment but all our efforts were fruit less." ACCUSED KILLER SANDY, Ore., Oct. 1. (Jp) Accused of having beaten his friend and benefactor to death with a rock.

Delegates will hold in formal private conversations In an effort to reach basis for ac cord on a general disarmament agreement. Germany may then be asked to adhere to that conven tion . The French and British are particularly bitter and feel there should be no overtures to Ger many asking her to return. They both support Davis and the Ital ians, however, in the coutentiou that the parley should not be permitted to fail entirety aa a result of Berlin's actfou. Arthur Hendersou, chairman of the general commission and lead ing Britbh delegate, tn pronounc ing the parley adjourned until a week from Thursday, added sig nificantly: Attempts to Go On "I hope you will return pre pared to write aa arms conven tion." "The struggle must go on Henderson continued. "The league covenant will not be treated as a scrap of paper. It cost 10,000, 000 dead and 20.000.000 men wounded to bring the league into being. We are not now going to break faith with those dead, nor let the world be plunged Into barbarism through another world war." Henderson declared that the world already possessed the be ginnings of a collection peace system tn the league covenant ids the Kellogg pact, adding: "The government which rejects that- system, whatever its inten tions, inevitably is encouraging its citizens to regard war as legitimate and inevitable."
