While some of the student^ did dig out quite a bit qf information the general rule was to write without sufficient knowledge of the subject There was a tendency Iio #rite on the entire county which is entirely too large a ‘job for a 2000 fcord essay . /..r. Might we suggest that the contest be continu d for an* other year at least and that it be staged earlier in the year ; before the school year programs begin to interfere with Students' time. May we also suggest that the history of the county as a whole be excluded from the permissable subjects and that ten or twelve topics be named for the children to write on. Sherman county history is strange to the younger generation— that is apparent from the stories written this year and a guiding hand should aid them in choice of sub- jects. _ The contest can be made of greater- educational value and should be continued. . —£—0--- _ - TILL NOVEMBER The recent election was no more exciting than a five yard run in mid-field There was nothing stirring about it. Candidates pledged themselves, to do the same old things that politicians have promised since (he Greeks wrote t^eir electoral preferences on a shell. I here was the usual; amount of bunk about reducing taxes, with no concrete plan - for so doing; there were promises of power without cost to the taxpayers without a detailed description of the financial wizardy necessary for that d-reim; there was much comment on the class wac of farmer against capitalist, labor against management. Now having had our little snifter of political intoxicant we can drop back into the old routine of forget* fulness of public affairs Even the sales tax did not create a great deal of interest after the first month of discussion It was doomed to fail ure from the start It wasn t much of a way to settle the troublesome tax problem, but it was one way to relieve*, real property owners from the danger of losing their holdings. Non-taxpayers beat it and will again if it is proposed. Our tax system n)ust be changed but it will probably have to be a long process of evolution instead of a revolutionary change. ----- 0— - ’ Longshoremen are still determined to rest and to make every one else rest also Parmers can t sell wheat, mills can’t operate, ships can’t unload or load because a few hun dred men don’t like their boss or their wages- Workers want $1 00 per hour for loading wheat which is more than a ' farmer makes in a month raising it — ■ ----- o------ In the pre-repeal èra we were tpld the beer was a sing ing liquor that brought to imbibers nothing but a pleasing glow of well being .$n.d kindness to fellow man.
