Road Work Moves Quickest
OBSERVERS frequently point out that highway con
struction is the only type of public work that seems
to be making headway, in spite of frantic efforts to get
other development under way. Everywhere they are
building roads and giving work to idle men. Other proj
ects are still in the discussion stage, or the blue print
stage, or somewhere short of actual construction.
The reasons, of course, are plain enough. Highways
are an accepted public responsibility. Proposed roads are
on the programs of local chambers of commerce, and in
the prospective programs of public boards and commis
sions years before they are built. It is known pretty well
what is to be done when it can be done. State and local
financing methods have been worked out, ready for
quick expansion through federal help. Administering
boards which can accept responsibility are already set up.
So, when the country feels the need of a stimulated
public construction program, the highways are ready to
go. That is a fact to be considered as the public works
effort is continued. In this connection, it is significant
that the state highway commission is considering a pro
posal to borrow money from the PWA to build and com
plete various highways in Oregon.
What this may mean locally, if carried to the extent
of finishing all the major projects, is indicated in a sur
vey made by the roads and highways department of the
chamber of commerce and submitted to the highway
commission. The estimated eost of completing the five
projects in and adjacent to Klamath county would be
$3,825,000.
If ft is decided to go ahead with public works on a
big scale, with highways playing a dominant part, and
to borrow PWA money in Oregon for that purpose, the
projects in this area deserve consideration, both from
the standpoint of providing needed roads and relieving
cuta unemployment conditions here.

The Barnes Suit
LEST an injustice be done to Justice of the Peace W. 6,
Barnes, . there should be a thorough .public under
standing of the purpose of the suit brought against him
by District Attorney T. R. Gillenwaters, on the basis of
non-failure to turn over marriage license fees to the
county.
This h in reality a test case. During the last election
campaign, and subsequent to that, there was criticism of
Judge Barnes' office in connection with the marriage fee
situation. It is reported that letters have been sent from
here to the governor with regard to it.
The district attorney agrees with Justice Barnes that
in other justice courts, the justices do not account for
marriage license fees. It is questionable whether the law
requires that they do so. Furthermore, it is agreed that
Justice Barnes has not always collected $5 for each mar
riage he has performed.
Hence, it is apparent that Justice Barnes has acted in
good faith. If he has not acted in accordance with the
law, which i the matter to be determined in this suit,
he has acted in accordance with practices in other justice
courts. If there were irregularities in connection with
the marriage, license fees, they were not intentional.
In the course of the present suit, the ourts will de
cide on the questionable point of law. However the case
k determined, it will still the fire of criticism at the
judge and at the district attorney. In the meantime, the
public should withhold judgment, and it should keep in
mind the underlying facts in the case.
L. L. Graham, a day or two ago, completed 25 years
with the Southern Pacific company. The Southern Pa
cific, as well as Mr. Graham, who is now district freight
and passenger agent here, deserves congratulations on
that quarter century of devoted service.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10 On
freeslug that billion dollar In
close, banka I going to be a
much more careful process than
the current ballyhoo would in
dicate.
It la not going to be anything
like the break-up ot .the 81.
Lawrence river Jam In May, but
more like the dripping of Ink
from the trosea fountain pen
ot Jew Jonea. He will aee to
that.
The R. F. C. chairman haa
phenagied thing around on the
lnlde o he will be in complete
charge. He crowded out Henry
Bruere (bowery bank preeldent)
and the treasury official who
had big thawing Idea.
And he did It after Preel
dent Roosevelt himself had pick
ed Bruere for the job.
PROCESS
The way Jonea operated wa
to work thing around so that
R. F. C. money would be used
for the job. That wa not hard
to do became the federal re
serve banka decided their funds
were not available tor such a
purpose.
It Jonea was going to be com
pelled to nse R. F. C. money
he wanted the say-so on how it
waa used. Hi argument was un
answerable.
It mean that Jonea own ex
aminer will make their own
separate Investigation of each
closed bank. Asset will be
scrutinised under the atrong
microscope the R. F. C usee on
all who want to borrow money
from it. The easy examination
policy of the treasury is out.
The Jones process will take
month and perhapa year.
The story Is going around that
Jones' sympathies for the big
thaw more can be registered at
about 30 degrees below sero.
That seem to be a exaggera
tion.
Jones' friends aay he le In
favor of common-sense business
like methods ot appraisal. He
doe not believe the money
should be doled out In a phil
anthropic way merely to create
purchasing power. Anyone who
want to get any of his money
will have to show something for
it.
No one can criticise that.
Bruere has been left so much
out In the cold by the Jones
maneuver that they are trying
to warm bis heart with rumor
One is that he will get Treasury
Secretary Woodtn'e job, another
that he will succeed Gov. Black
of th federal reserve. The last
one may come true. Black Is
eager to get tar away from
Washington as aoon a the pres
ident will let him go. Bruere
would till Black shoes amply.
TRICKS
Jones has been working on an
other Inside scheme better than
that one.
He Is the kind of man who
figures out ways of killing a
whole flock ot blackbirds with a
single brick.
He thought he had the New
York banking crowd cornered
in favor of his preferred back
stock plan but they waltzed out
on him. After promising to sup
port his scheme they merely
recommended it to their boards
of directors and the boards turn
ed it down.
Since that time Jones has been
working on a certain large New
York bank to lead the way Into
the preferred stock program by
another route.
The bank insists it does not
need the money but Jones has ,
pointed out that the city of New .
York wants to borrow from the I
bank. Let the bank take the I
money from the R. F. C. and lend
It to the city, says Jones.
A deal along that line I sup
posed to have been ready for
announcement for the past aev-
eral days.
The whole thing will not be
announced as one deal. That
would ruin It.
First the bank will announce
that It is cooperating with the
Jones preferred stock plan. A
lew days later It mar announce
the loan to the city.
The result will be success for

FLUSH
Life will never have another
moment more embarrassing to
the wife ot a certain government
official than when she picked
up a newspaper not long ago.
A newspaper feature service
was running the blographtee ot
the wive of government officials.
Their pictures, histories and ex
periences were being told in detail.
But there where her ntoiranhr
should have been was the atory
ot her predecessor in the house
hold of the government official,
hla first wife.
A complaint was made but It
was decided further mention of
the subject would only make mat
ters worse.

Our diplomatic sources con
fidentially reported Herr Hitler
was amazed at the bad world re
action to his anti-disarmament
declaration and would welcome
loophole wherebr he could
crawl out of It. Most ot our
officials privately believe Hitler
is just passing out that salving
information and doubt his sin
cerity. They say he really did
count on Narmoa Davis to act
as mediator and was hurt when
ir. Koosevelt ordered Davis to
keep his hands in his pockets.

THAT Isn't so good for businoss

face, for It business Is to prosper
and labor ftnd employment, there
must be a market tor what busi

Th farmer represent about
40 per cent ot the total market In
this country, which means that
before business can be really good
and employment plentiful the
buying power ot the farmer must
be materially Increased,
If business Is wise, therefore,
It must hope that In the long run

though, ot course, there Is still a
possibility that common sense
may Intervene to prevent such a
catastrophe.
Tn last time Europe went to
war, we got Into It also getting
nothing OUT of It but burned

goes to war again, the wise thing

In the long run, another war
would do ns far more harm than

help by providing a war market
