worthy of their cost.
Many more of them could probably be operated with smaller
cost and still preform the same service to the people. To classify
government functions according to efficiency and public worth re.
quires a great deal of study and thought on the part of the organ
ization or person who presumes to judge. Citizens of a democi a
cy are notoriously loath to study their government They are
more likely to criticize without analysis -
Meetings are being held all over the state, at this
time to memoralize the legislature about certain acts it should
commit or deletions it should make. If these recommend at mi s
are made after careful study and thorough information they are
representative of a high type of interested citizenship that deserves
good government because it is wiling to understand the problems
of government If they are made without either study or infor
mation they are likely to represent nothing but the personal pre-
jucices Of the res »Jution committees.
This is a serious time for governments just as it is a serious
time for private business Each department and function of gov-
ernment like each department of private business must be able to
justify its existence or be removed from the budget.^ Those func-
tions of government that are worthy of retention—that return
value received to the citizens *»nu tax» ayers-should be maintained
with auffiicient funds to make them efficient and effective Those
activities that are not strictly within the province of democratic
government, that can be satisfactorily without, should be dis.

, LET THERE BE SNOW
What is the matter with this country anyway? A few years
ago it was not uncommon for snow to fall gently, heavily, as if
burdened with moisture. Now for years we have had snow storms
that are a curse instead of a gentle reminder of the goodness of
heaven
Snows
that come after a sickening drop in temperature, snows
—; - -
that come with heavy wind, snows that have flakes that cut like
sharp knives, are of no good to farming folk. Snows to have the
proper effect must come gently as a benediction They must drop
from the leaden sky without hindrance of whirling wind They
must not be accompanied by the eerie music of whistling wind-
storm and rattling windows.
- What this country needs is a good old fashioned snow—a snow
that comes on unfrozen and receptive earth and comes day after day
quietly, slowly, softly until the roads are all blocked, the fences
are hidden, the hen coop is all but obliterated and the entire
countryside assures an appearance of deep and satisfying winter
with its promise of wet, fruitful earth in the spring.
