DON'T CRITICIZE

A few days ago we heard a man
criticising the city council for doing
so much paving, saying it made taxes
higher.
True enough the paving Liberal
has done has made taxes higher. but
the city council is not to blame for
the paving. The law provides that
when certain percentage of the citi-
zens of any street petition the city
council to pave the council must act
upon the petition. The folks living
upon the paved streets petitioned in
sufficient number to induce the coun-
Gil to put in the paving and they will
have to pay the taxes. The council
had no say in the matter, and had
they refused to grant the petition a
mandamus could have been brought
by the property owners to compel ac-
ton.
Don't lay it all on the council. That
body gets cussed enough without
having to take the blame for some
thing they could not help.
However, we have heard the first
person living on the pavement who
would be willing to have it taken up
to save the taxes. Most of them
agree that it is well worth the money,
and we believe it is.
The council is not planning any
more paving this year but if the
property owners on any street should
take a notion they wanted paving
they might be forced to change their
plans.

THE WHEAT GROWERS MUST
ORGANIZE

A meeting of Liberal local of the
National Wheat Growers Association
will be held in Liberal, Saturday,
February 9Th.
Every farmer in Seward nd adj
joining counties should attNd this
meeting and help to get this organ
ization under way and make it a
success.
We were talking with farmer a
few days ago and he made the state
ment that it was impossible to organ
ize farmers and get them to stick.
We cannot take this --iew of the mat
ter. Necessity causes many man to
change his mind and this is the rea-
son we believe the National Wheat
Growers Association will be success
full.
1t is about parallel case with the
fruit growers of the south and west.
For years they did not make decent
living, finally conditions became so
bad that they could not live at all.
They had their big investments in
land and trees and they could not
quit for there was nothing for them
to do. When their very existence and
the existence of their families was
at stake they organized, and ever
since their product has had mar
ket Yalue-a value fixed by them
selves rather than the cold storage
owners.
This is the same condition the
wheat growers are facing today, 1t
is really not a case of whether or not
they want to organize it is a-question
of self preservation
They connot go on and on and let
some one else set the price on what
they sell as we'll as what they buy.
They must set their own price on
their product, and when they see
their farms slipping from them, their
work going for nothing, their build
ings depreciating, their sons and
daughters going out into the world
unedurated, they will realize the ne
cessity of organization.
The question is why not do it now
before these conditions maintain? We
believe the farmers are intelligent
enough that once plan is adopted
to help their case they will be ready
to adopt it, and we believe the Ma
tional Wheat Growers Association
has this plan. We urge them to learn
all about it and get in and help.
The future of the Southwest is in
the hands of the farmers. All the
the boosters in the towns cannot do
anything unless the farmers are
prosperous, and it is to the best in
terests Of all that healthy business
atmosphere preoade the territory.
Attend the meeting Saturday and
learn more of this move and if it
looks good to you get in and help.
Don't say "it can't be done" Some
one will do it sometime and you had
just as well do it now.

ARE WE BUSTED?

Wen say not. True, we do moi
have as many dollars as we did few
months ago, but bless you, you don't
need them. In many places of bust.
ness one dollar will go twice as far
as it used to, so if we have but one
dollar where we once had two, we are
Just as well off.
There is a whole lot Of talk about
hard times, but there should not be.
Almost every man, woman and child
In Liberal is busy. Wages have not
fallen off to any great extent, al
though prices have suffered
We should not become excited
about this thing and talk hard times.
N0r the more we tai kit the more
We will think it, and after all these
things are largely a matter of the
mind.
There is some money in the coun-
try, everyone is not busted, aud if all
will keep their minds on the future,
work to make conditions better, re-
fuse to become party to any hoard
ing process there will be work and
when there is work there will be bust
ness.
However if everyone starts cry
: ing hard times, refuse to spend cent
people will be thrown out of employ
ment, business will fall off, factories
will close and then we will have hard
times.
It is time to cut out extravaganza,
but it is also time for conservative
improvements and investments. The
country is on a sound basis, there is
NO cause for alarm. We have squeezed
the air out of lot Of lines and we
should not want to bring prices down
so low that the working classes will
suffer.
There is a line below which we
should not want to go, and you can
easily find the lines in which this
maintains.
The business man who refuses to
stock, or who refuses to spend money
for needed improvements and adver-
Using space is helping the downward
progress.
Don't talk hard times. Suit your
expenses to your business and keep
talking business. The farmer who has
had to take lower price for his pro-
duce cannot afford to stop buying
altogether because this will cause
unemployment, and the unemployed
cannot buy his products and there
will be a surplus he cannot sell.
Don't talk hard times. Keep doing
your best, use your head and do your
part to keep conditions normal. The
only thing which can seriously dis
