B U R E AU C R AC Y IS G R O W IN G The light vote in the Nyssa area and Malh eur county and in the state generally in the pr imary last Friday indicates the possibility of a greater drift toward bureaucracy. A democatic form of government cannot be controlled unless the people take an interest in it. If it is not controlled it will drift into a bur eaucratic or dictator form of government. The great development of transportation dur ing the last few years has drawn the various parts of the nation closer physically to Wash ington, D. C., figuratively speaking, but the co ntrol of the government has slipped gradually away from the people because of their unwill ingness to take an interest in public affairs. Everyope certainly is busy, even on election day, but the German people were hungry when Hitler gained control o f Germany and we are not excusing them now for permitting a dictat orship to arise. ROAD FLOODING BOTHERSOME The county court is appealing to the farmers of the county to avoid so far as possible allow ing irrigation water to flow onto public high ways. The farmers are having their troubles, but the county, handicapped like individuals by la ck o f manpower and equipment, is finding it more difficult this year to keep the roads in pr oper condition. The county court and the pepole generally would appreciate the cooperation o f farmers in reducing the flooding of roads and highways. Roberts home.
