HINGS THAT GIVE CONTENT It is said Virgil Schadewitte has monned to the E. O. L. land formerly farmed by Hans Koepke- lat the Chinese have an expression: “The desires of of men are without end, but the things that give content are few and well known.” Someway that is a most comforting proverb, especially for one who lives in a commuhity that is rapidly learning to do without many of the pleasures they had been taught to think were their right and heritage. Here in Sherman county we are harking hack to the days of the pioneers of forty and fifty years ago as far as our search for pleasures are concerned. The simple friendliness of neighbor?, the geriuine community party where everyone is welcome, the old fashioned dance to steps all can perform, are evidence that our pleasures are becoming deflated, as it were, and returning to their old »-r customs. There is a movement on foot among the young folks in at least two of the towns of the county to organize an put the on boards an amateur play or two during the winter Certainly such a move would result in as rhuch enjoyment for the community as would a trip tn another town for a picture show and would have the added advantage of giving good training to the parlicipitants. The bther Sunday a group of men spent an hour or more de termining which one could jump the farthest, horse shoes is again popu ar, just plain visiting is back in favor and folks are as happy, apparently, as in the so called good old days when no day was called succe sful unless it entailed a drive of a couple hundred miles and the expenditure of several dollars Some way we have confidence in the ability of people to make their own enjoyments whether they have money to spend or not. Happiness, we are presuming, does not come, from great posses sions, but from the simple pleasures of life that are well known and possible for nearly all of us. • '__ ' —:—o-------- , READ THE POWER BILL CAREFULLY t here seems to be considerable sentiment in favor of the so cal I d po*er bill among the grangers of the county. This senti ment is caused, we tiink, by the desire of the farmers to keep the water power sites of the state perpetually in the hands of the peo ple instead of allo • ing them to be sold to individuals or the power companies. This sentiment is laudable and has been incorpoiat(<l into the law of the state years ago. . I Bui the bill also provides that “th- legislative assembly shall” mike laws to put the state in the business of constructing dams, generating power, transp rting electricity, selling, etc. For the purpose of financing this development the credit of the state is pledged to the extent of six percent of the total valuation TMn would amount to over $60,000,000 in new bonds, more th .n the total indebtedness the state has at present which is $54, 577,000. In our own county it could raife the indebtedness from the slightly over $200,000 worth of bonds we now have to something over $660,000 according to our present valuation Now we pay $28,000 for bond retirement and interest every year. This is 14 percent of our total tax bill If this bill should be enacted into law and the developments contemplated were built the cost would be three times the present bond and interest cost or about 40 percent of the taxes on the present budget. This is certainly not a debt to betaken lightly. It is not neces sary for the stAte to begin building power dams to hold their right to the slaes; that has been provided for long ago. --------- O---------- What in heck became of the enforcement policy of the state officers in regard to the law regulating bright headlights.
