Payable in Advance ONE YEAR ............................. >2.?0 NOVEMBER 19, 1943 POST-WAR PLANNING To date the main part of post war planning has been done by the government. B y government is meant city , school d «Strict, county, »tate mid federal governments. The recent m eeting of the League o f Oregon Cities in The Dalles was alm ost entirely »taken up with a discussion of post-war plans and the ways and means thereof. The officials o f Oregon counties are this week engaged in sim ilar discussions. It is the e x pressed desire o f these organiza tions th a t cities and counties be in absolute control of whatever projects they engage in. The state highway commission has been making plans for post war work and the federal govern ment probably has plans also. There can be no criticism of such planning. ¡It » proper and forward looking. Yet, it raay not ht the best way of getting the men who return from the service and the men who return to small towns from war work employed again. In the state of Oregon a very small percentage of the total in- some ia psdd in taxes that m ight he used for such civic anprovement a s m ight come under the jurisdic tion of the governm ents o f the abate. The major part of (post-war work will have to be paid fo r by undue try and agriculture. The sta te post-war readjustment and development committee is cognizant of this and knows that private funds m ust be used ex tensively to employ returned men. Yet, the fact the emphasis has been put on re-employment by governm ents is very likely to cause the public to feel that post war jobs are a worry of govern ment» alone and th at individuals and corporations have little or no responsibility for them. Wo have been »tending toward reli ance sn governm ent for too many things of late and post-war plan ning seem s to be follow ing the unfortunate path to the same end. * seems reasonable to sug gest that committee« be set up in each county to handle the plan ning.« Instead o f having • these com mittees made up strictly of government officials, as they are so far, representatives of farmers, farm organim tons, garden clubs, industries, civic club« and just plain citizens m ight well be inclu ded. The onus o f the planning should be on the individual instead o f on governmental bodies. I t is douflrtful if cities and counties should be responsible for over ten per cent of post-war expenditures In Sherman county every farm could hire a man or two for sev eral m onths during the tw o year period after the end of th e war doing (the repair and improvement jobs that have been put off dur ing the war. It should be easier to g et farm ers to agree to plan for such work than to g e t cities to do it. •' Cities and counties must hire engineers, plan for budget- ting, sinking funds, etc.; farmers have the money and need merely to plan th e work and be ready to sta rt it when tfc'i men return. Post, war planning and post war work is the duty o f the in dividual to a greater exten t than It is o f the government.
