For a Cleaner City
As the new year gets underway, steps are being
taken by the city council to solve some of the
municipal problems confronting the town. The
council has had several things in mind as postwar
activities to aid the employment situation tmt there
are some things which cannot wait for that indefi
nite time and one of these needs immediate at
tention. That is the matter of garbage disposal.
At present and for many years past there has
been, no. controlled method of -garbage disposal.
The city has maintained a dump ground above the
mouth of Balm Fork where citizens have hauled
their rubbish, and at times there have been men in
charge of the grounds. At present there is an ar
rangement with a man engaged in hauling refuse
to the dump -and with better cooperation on the
part of the citizens this could: be made quite
effective.
One. serious. handicap. is. the lack of transporta
tion for garbage. The one vehicle for hire is a
pick-up and is too. limited , in capacity to make
hauling effective. There is too much labor in load
ing and unloading and too many trips to dispose
of the loads. Consequently, the operator hauls
what he can and has to let it go at that.
There are ways in which residents can help in
the proper disposal of refuse. Much of it may be
burned in the furnace, kitchen range or common
heater. That which is not consumed entirely
may then be shoveled up with the ashes and put
in a barrel or some safe typie of container for
hauling away. Ashes are more easily hauled than
waste paper and general garbage. But ashes
should not be dumped in a pile. They should be
boxed or barrelled. Arrangements should be made
for regular disposal of the refuse by hauling to
the city dump.
The question of alleyway incinerators will be
studied by the mayor and council. Objection has
been voiced to this method of disposing of car
tons and other paper material inasmuch as the
burning doesn't stop there. Other materials cre
ating disagreeable odors find their way into the
incinerators which prove nauseous to people living
in the vicinity. Complaints of these conditions
have been placed with the council and that body
has promised to use its authority in putting a stop
to the practice.
In its effort to make a cleaner town the council
has the backing of at least two civic minded or
ganizations. The Woolgrowers Auxiliary interested
the Chamber of Commerce in the movement and
both groups had representatives at Monday's
council meeting to give assurance of citizen back
ing in any endeavor of the city government to
improve living conditions.

War Loan Campaign No. 4
In a few days we will be in the midst of another
war loan campaign, the fourth since the United
States entered the conflict, and from all appear
ances this one will not be easy to put over. That's
speaking for Morrow county. Local officials feel
that the zenith of bond buying was reached in the
third campaign when the people of this county
bought some $524,000 of the government securi
ties. That's quite a lot of financing for a compara
tively small number of pople to do and it is not
expected that they shall repeat in like manner
this time. This is indicated in the smaller quota
which is almost $100,000 less than the third' war
loan request.
Of the total $14,000,000,000 to be raised this
time, five billions will be raised by the small bond
sales. This means that every individual will have
to do his part. It may prove an advantage in the
local drive, for the largest part of past purchases
has been in the smaller denominations. But what
ever is offered there will have to be takers. The
boys "over there" can't be let down at this stage
of the game, no matter what the cost.
Roger Babson, in his annual forecast, stated
that in all probability 1944 would witness the high
point in taxation and that by the closing months
there should be a tapering off. This forecast is
based on the assumption that Germany will be
knocked out of the war sometime this year. But
Germany will not be knocked out if we at home
fail to do our part in purchasing bonds and keeping
up production. We must remember that millions
of our men and women in the armed forces not
only are offering their lives in the cause but like
wise arg. making regular purchases of bonds out
of their monthly wages or salaries to help make
life secure for those of us at home. This alone
is sufficient reason for us to do our part but the
fact that what may be considered the closing chap
ter of the war in Europe is due to open soon should
be a stimulus to go just as deep as our finances
will permit. This may be the" knockout" punch
and it is no time to curtail any of the fighting
forces.
Morrow county will do its share as it has in the
past, although the goal may not be reached with
the comparative ease marking previous campaigns.

There Is a Reason For It
A good many people are experiencing a distaste
for our present bureaucratic form of government
but so far have not been able to analyze their dis
like and put it into exprtessable form. The writer
admits a distinct aversion to this type of govern
ment, and like many fellow believers has feelings
regarding the subject which if put in language as
violent would find his paper denied the mails.
Not a few farmers are expressing themselves
on bureaucracy and it is greatly to their credit
that they have sufficient self control to state their
complaint in acceptable language. In the Novem
ber issue of the Country Gentleman, Marvin
Jones, national food administrator, stated the
government's case in an article entitled "We're
Taking the Home Folks Into Partnership." He
might have gotten along alright had he not dwelt
too zealously upon support prices. In the Decem
ber issue a South Carolina farmer wrote the
Country Gentleman: "The fanner does not want
support prices, subsidies or any other thing of this ,
kind. He has always paid his bills sometimes he.,
had to let his farm go to do it and he; can't; see
why the taxpayer, who pays Unci' Sam's., bills,
should help buy a pound of bacon or a dozer i egg?,,
for that neighbor who., went, off to. build 'an; army,
camp."
A Texas farmer wrote; "I don't; think I ever
read a more misleading, article in. my life. I am a.
small rancher-farmer and raise about 40,000 bush-
els of wheat and had 3500 cows when the planners
from Washington took over. As I was familiar
.with cattle and wheat, I was put on a three-man
board to try to co-ordinate the. production proram
in our area. First, we tackled cattle. Every morn-.
ing we would get a telegram from Washington
telling us what to do that one day ; maybe the next
morning the orders would be entirely different,
and issued by a man who never saw a cow ranch.
Some of these instructions would be twelve pages
long in a telegram at government expense. Fin
ally they sent us a planner from Washington to
supervise us. The boy sent came from a veterinary
school in Vermont He had never lived in the
country and had never seen a cow ranch. We got
ashamed to go out to the ranches with him, so we
resigned."
That seemed to say a lot about the bureaucratic
set-up without" going into a lot of argument and
discussion.
