Official Paper for Morrow County
Whose Resources?
GOVERNMENT money has been
spent freely the last several years
and is still being spent in large
sums under the national defense
program. And it would be denying
a major human characteristic to not
admit that people everywhere are
interested in getting their share. The
benefits of such expenditure should
be distributed as widely as possible,
for when pay day comes, as it most
surely will, all will be expected to
share equally in wiping out the
debt.
In the face of the true situation,
it is not unpatriotic for Morrow
county to protect its interests.
The county court, justifiably, is
asking more than the government
has proffered for land in the north
end, and will present argument to
show that the county will have been
damaged to a greater extent than
the amount offered will pay for.
Justifiably, too, a concerted effort
is being started to attempt to locate
the proposed government munitions
manufacturing plant in this county.
In view of what neighboring coun
ties have obtained, that is not asking
too much when such a plant could
be located here probably for less
investment in site, and with the ma
jor factors of water and transporta
tion just as well taken care of.
These things affect the resources
of Morrow county, which, according
to a governmental principle oft' re
peated, is entitled to benefit from
such god-given bounties as has been
given it.
But there is another resource, that
of the timber in the south end, for
which everyone in Morrow county
Should be vigilant, and no stone left
unturned to try to save for home
industry. Large blocks of privately
owned timber have been purchased
which are going or will go .to mills
outside the county. And there is
a strong tendency evident to supply
these same mills with timber in the
forest reserve located in Morrow
county. The chamber of commerce
has resolved in favor of this timber
being cut only by mills located in
Morrow county. If the federal gov
ernment is assured that timber re
moved from the reserve is cut in
accordance with the general public
welfare, then, surely Morrow county
should be permitted to benefit most
from its removal, and thus be com
pensated to a degree for loss of
taxable wealth.
There is precedent for such action
on the part of the forest service. And
it has been stated as a part of the
forest service's sustained yield log
ging policy that communities natur
ally tributary to timber removed
shall be protected in their interest.
No county in the United States
ever came to the fore in time of
national stress more than has this
county, but we have the right to
ask for just remuneration for our
resources, and to ask that benefits
from same, wherever possible, be
kept at home.
