LIBRARY BUILDING PLANS

r EYOND doubt that proposition to hitch the Il
- brary taxing power up with the widespread feel
ing that this county ought TO do something worth while
in the way of providing memorial to those who served
in the great war has possibilities but it ought to be
realized at the outset that this is OF the things that
can be ruined by beginning them too modesdy
It estimated that the library tax in Marion county
would yield about $4,000 per annum' and it prob
ably would require every bit of that sum to maintain
the library. Indeed, any other use OF this money
would border on if not actually be- infraction of
the law. The only safe thing to do, therefore, would
be to plan the memorial structure in such way that
in addition to quarters for the library and for the
American Legion, there shall be another part which
will be revenue producing
In other words, in addition of taking care of the
two interests mentioned there ought to be large aud
itorum suitable for large musical attractions lectures,
public meetings and occasions of that general tenor
The need for hall of this character is almost great
as the need for real library, and it is obvious that
by combining the library, the hall and the quarters for
the legion the county would be able to construct
building Of truly monumental character almost lmme-
dately while three separate structures would be out
of the question for years 10 come.
Moreoye; if the project is conceived upon monu-
mental basis it will not be necessary to make it con-
tngent upon raising the whole cost by private sub
scrption assuming that the three purposes embodied
in it. Part of at least can be raised through bond
issue. There is, or was, county committee on war
memorial. 1t gave much sign Of being equal to
the purpose for which it was created but now that the
matter has been brought to the fore again might be
good plan to try to find out it can be depended
upon to be Of any USE 1t ought at least to be invited
to take an interest in the plans of the Library COM
nittce.
We ought to get some action on this general sub
icct early next year and it not too soon to begin
clearing the decks for it.

According to an announcement issued at st.
Louis tho American Federation Of Labor is about
to start q nation wide campaign to organize the
bookkeepers stenographcrs, clerks and other office
help. Some progress has been made along that line
in England but over here the recent radicalism
is going to make the going hard. The bulk OF the
office workers will want to be sure that they are
not going to be turned to leaders like Foster
before they join. And II they do join they are
going to lack class consciousness TO marked de-
gree, and therefore, they are going to be hard to
manage, On the other hand the need Of some sort
OF protection for such workers in times like those
we have been passing through is really urgent
While day labor getting dollar an hour and
up and prohteers were taking one hundred per cent
profit on everything the people on salaries and liked
incomes paying the bill. AS far as they could
see they we're just much the victims Of organized
labor as Of predatory business, and they will well
come any plan which promises to secure square
deal.

Surgeon General Ireland has made final state
ment of the American casualties in the great war
and this shows that our killed numbered 1929. In
the same year about $500 fatalities took place in
American coal mines and 10000 on American rail-
roads Analysis of the surgeon generals statistics
shows that the proportion Of the killed to the
wounded was about tho same in the last war as in
the Civil war but the probabilities are that we have
lost ground in the matter OF industrial casualties
There are variety of reasons for this but the
main ono is that we are careless.
