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
