New Courthouse (Continued from page 1) ute providing for erection of new courthouse buildings. He said that the statute offers safe guards to the taxpayer that be fore the county court can levy funds, it must enter an order in the journal, then call a pub lic hearing and that the call must be at least 70 days before making the levy and the hear ing at least 60 days before. Be tween the call and the hearing there must be publication of in tention of what the court is to do, that the publication must set up the proposed site for the building, it must set up the ap proximate cost and method of raising the money, as well as the date of the hearing. At the hearing it is possible for remonstrators to appear with petitions which if suffi ciently signed may throw the latter over into an election. Tomlinson said that the county cannot go into debt for court house purpose in excess of $5000 without a vote of the people. Judge Murphy said that the court did not set any definite date for start of courthouse con struction in the resolution as it has no idea of the definite date as to conclusion of the war and it assumes this will be a post war project. The money from the levies will accumulate, it was pointed out, so that at any time if the people wish to ac celerate the building by a bond issue or otherwise there will be that much less money to secur at the time of such occurence. Murphy safd that to get within the 6 percent limitation will re quire some close scraping and managing but it was pointed out, however, that 1944 will be the year for closest scraping. The county will have a. $721,000 base under the 6 percent limita tion amendment and taking the full 6 percent will allow $764, 000 in 1945 and it may go on progressively greater so after 1944 it was thought there would be no difficulty in meeting the $75,000 levy every year and still have plenty of funds to operate the regular govern mental agencies. Ray Glatt, budget committee member, said he had sounded a number of people on the court house question and the senti ment among those he had talked to was they wished as quickly a way as possible to secure a new building. Also it is expect ed a group will meet with the county court some time next week to discuss plans for an earlier construction of the building. It was pointed out that the resolution as enacted would fit into any plan for an earlier erection of the building, and that it was sufficiently elastic to meet every eventu ality, as expressed by Commit tee Member Leo Childs.

Tompkins Tells Lions of Britain The English are deeply grate ful for the assistance rendered them by citizens of this country and they are looking toward the United Slates to provide leader ship in establishing a lasting peace, said Morton Tompkins, president of the stale grange, who spent three months in Great Britain studying agriculture of that country speaking at a Lion's club luncheon Thursday noon. The expressions of gratitude were so profuse at limes that it became almost embarrassing to the American visitors, Tomp kins added. Shortly after the war opened Ihe British government realized that it was face to face Willi a neglected agriculture and set about immediately to remedy the situation, the speaker as serted. As a result land which had not seen the plow in centur ies was planted to crops which, in many instances, were highly satisfactory. This expanded pro gram was brought about largely because of the American trac tors provided the farmers. In some instances where the farm ers failed to cooperate with the over-all plan they were sent in to the armed forces or compelled to work in defense plants. As a means of overcoming the labor shortage a "land army" of some 80,000 women was recruit ed from the cities. Tompkins spoke of England as "one huge fortress" with Ihe in habitants determined to protect it to the limit. The trip to England was made on the Queen Mary. The return voyage was on the Queen Eliz abeth, No Turning Back Says Patterson Chicago, Jan. 21 U.R Robert P. Patterson, undersecretary of war, said today that American industry could not hope to re turn to pre-war methods, and must prepare to keep stcp-with world progress. "I have no patience with those who are willing to fight for the preservation of their preferred way of living, and then show no willingness at all to prevent that way of living from rotting away afterwards," Patterson told an nual United States conference of mayors. Patterson said that reconver sion to the pre-war production pattern was basically impossi ble, and "if by some magic we could exactly recreate those conditions, they would result in a 50 percent reduction in the na tional income, extensive unem ployment and reduced produc tion capacity. "Either we will evolve some thing better, or we will be af flicted with something far worse. There is no turning back," he said, Patterson warned that it would take as long to get indus try back into peace time produc tion as It did to achieve top war time output and said the govern ment should prepare to prevent an economic collapse during that period. The possibility of a "year or more between the end of the war in Europe and In Asia will take up some of the shock of stopping war produc tion, he said.
