TH E SEW ER SYSTEM
What about the sewer system for a city project in 1932?
Mayor Dick Tensen believes it to be a necessity and of
urgent importance to the Gate City and many will agree
with him.
A sewer system entails an expense, the big share to be
boine by the property owners within the sewer district,
presumably the business section, and the remainder to be
spread over the city. However, the expense divided over
the entire community would not be burdensome, Mayor
Tensen believes.
The council received an estimate some months ago and
undoubtedly the cost would be even lower as all prices
have declined since then.
If the city was over burdened with debt, it might not be
wise to plan the sewer project, but, fortunately, this is not
the case. Nyssa is in excellent financial condition, with a
comparatively small indebtedness on water systems and
street improvement. Few towns in Oregon are in better
shape, said Mr. Tensen.
Lack of a sewer system results in an unhealthful condi-
tion. Unsightly structures mar the appearance of the com

It appears that building a sewer system is a very com
mendable project for 1932. The Journal invites the discus

Voice of the Press
Finland To Abandon Prohibition
Like It or not, Finland has voted after
a long trial to abandon prohibition. The
overwhelming wet vote may be taken as
an unanswerable proof that in the
opinion of the people over there the dry
law has failed to improve conditions.
This vote does not mean that pro
hibition has failed In America or any
other country except Finland and It
does not mean th at the Scandinavian
republic may not be back on the water
wagon again after she tries the open
saloon for a few years.
No system of regulating or prohibit
ing use of liquor is satisfactory or can
be until the thirst for it is removed
from human lips. When that will be we
shall not venture to predict, but nobody
now living will see the end of the
"booze question,” in Finland, America
or anywhere else.
The Finnish result will, however, give
force to arguments of American wets
for another expression from the people
on the issue.—Baker Herald.

PARADES, TH E CEMETERY AND PLAYGROUND
There has always been a thrill to marching men, ever
since the first knights went forth, steel clad, to seek the
Grail. Small boys instinctively parade to the sound of a
round red drum and little tin horn. There is an innate mar
tial rythm in man that makes him join ranks.
But war itself is a bitter reality. The heraldry that pre
cedes it is nothing more than a dazzling flash in the pan.
Broken ranks, mute reminders of half-remembered bat
tles, show that. Slim green beds in other lands, too far
away for flower tributes, are added testimony. The
dream-scoured hearts of the men who came home aren’t
always pleasant places. Battle fires leave scars sometimes,
that *13 years are slow to heal.
An army on parade is a glamorous thing. An army in
action is a tragedy. The brave gleam of the passing hel
mets doesn’t lead to the playground.
The bravery which the soldiers displayed in battles,
half-lost under the tangled weeds of 13 years, isn’t forgot
ten. It made a tremendous impression on civilization. Be
cause the suffering that went with it has dragged its scar
across the years is added reason that the time for the abo
lition of war, so far as is possible, is at hand.
World leaders aren’t seeking a millennium. They aren’t
pleading for pity—just workable principles of carrying on
the game.
Men should march. They keep step better when they
swing down the way. But they should not have to march
to battle. Nor should they be called upon to surrender their
common heritage, lamplight at dusk, firelight on the floor,
rain on the roof, children’s voices.
The man whose conscience never troubles him must
have it pretty well trained.
