SEES CITIES BREAKING DOWN

Judson Welliver, in an interview
with Henry Ford, published in the
Review of Reviews, quotes the auto
magnate as follows:
A few decades ago there were local
Touring mills in the small towns.
Then came patent processes, big mills
and consolidation. The little mills
were shut down. Now they are MAX
ing small flour plants that will pro.
duce the same flour, in very small
establishments: and we shall be re-
turning presently to the old system
of the local mill supplying the local
market That will cut out another
big item of transportation.
The new era will see a great re-
distribution of industry back to the
country This country has got to live
in the country; industry must be
taken back to the country; small Cit
les and towns shoulu supply more of
their requirements, DIVERSITY their in
dustries, enable local capital to fl
nance their business, and thus keep
it in the financial control of the ones
who have the greatest interest in its
success. Financing industry is all
wrong; the thing to do with indus
try is to run it under the manage
ment OF the people who own it, and
who stay on the job.
Make every community as nearly
independent as possible. The great
modern city is an abnormal develop
ment 1t tends to break down under
its own weight 1t is socially bad
and economically unsound. You can
see the evidence of this in the acute
housing problem of cities, and in the
breaking down of municipal facilities.
especially traction systems.

the control. These are only instances
and there are plenty more.
The people of Wisconsin, the ones

him ask ten men in succession around

as State Treasurer Henry johnson
says elsewhere, to where this govern

After a while the common man,
entirely bereft of all chances at self
government, at need or chance for
thought over political and economic
problems, loses his initiative He
says, in effect, whats the use, any
how?"
The road to free government is d
long one to travel. We no longer
live in the free and open-air sur
iroundings Patrick Henry and the Col
onial forefathers did Their method
was to shoulder their long rifles and
march on King George. But this is
not a day for Colonial methods-in-
dividualism is dead and Paternalism
! stands indicted as the assassin.
Yes, the road to freedom is a long
one and its first stopping place is the
school house. By thorough education
coming generations will rid them
selves of paternalism and paternal-
lists, guardianship and guardians, bos-
sing and autocrats, because each man
and woman will know as much if not
considerable more than those who as.
sert the right to run other peoples
affairs. That will end the things we
fear but don't, as yet, know how to
eliminate.
The old world paternalism and it's
by-child, efficiency, reached their full
flower in Germany, preceding 1914.
The individual was crushed to make
pattern social order, caste upon
caste, and a powerful state. The
entire structure was systematic, tidy,
beautiful in appearance and-dam-
nably rotten. The naturally kindly
and peace-loving German citizen was
welded into supporter of the imper-
ial system. The whole terrible res
possibility of the World war when
the right of the individual to freedom
triumphed over dynasties, was fasten-
ed upon his luckless shoulders. He is
paying now.
The last analogy is extreme but it
illustrates the possibilities of govern
ment guardianship when carried to
the fullest extent. To the patriot of
Patrick Henrys time the important
thing in the world was not material
prosperity but personal liberty. Had
they not thought so this country
might still be crown colony of
England To the reader who does
not believe this or perhaps has for
gotten, we refer to the matchless or

The following news item will inter-
est people who believe that Grant
county throws enough away every
year on fair weather road mainten-
ance to pay interest on a mighty big
permanent road bond issue:
1t cost Walworth county in nine
months of 1921 total of $59,629 90
to maintain 145 miles of macadam
state trunk line highways. On a
yearly basis it cost about $3.50 mile,
according to a statement published
by the Walworth county farm bureau.
1t cost 0,196.00 to maintain and
repair 125 miles of county trunk line,
or about $4,000 mile.
On concrete road it cost $50 a mile
to maintain the 35 miles OF concrete
road i'm WalW0rth county.

J. r. w, editorial writer on the
Milwaukee Journal, has been kind
enough to use comment from Grant
County Herald several times lately
AS we understand the Journal it is
too great a newspaper to want or put
too much value on praise any more
than it cares little for abuse when it
feels it is right in a policy. This is
what distinguishes real, live news
papers from the other kind. Never.
the-less the Herald has been wanting
to say for long time that we con-
slider the Journal of Milwaukee to be
a wonderful paper. During the war
It set mark for straight American
ism, regardless of race, color. religion
or previous condition of servitude. It
took nerve to do that-in Milwaukee
but the Journal did and its example
was a worthy and pleasing one. Then
the Journals state news service is
the best we ever saw and its world,
and editorials departments
are not to be surpassed anywhere.
The Milwaukee Journal is some"
newspaper and it is simple justice to
say SO.

to be on the farms of Grant county
by the state reporter and statistician,

over 10000 more than are reported IN

TIVE RECORD on GOOD ROADS
From lne Bloomington Record

From the Bloomington RecOfd)
Now the Lancaster Herald wants
hard roads and says the patrol sys-
tenn is only a makeshift and a waste
OF money The Hcralu was only luke
warm in support of good roads bonds
a couple of years ago, finding fault
with what it called the brief time al
lowed for consideration before the
election Now it advocates hard
roads when it knows there is not
shadow of a chance 20 get them until
times improve. The Herald makes
itself look ridiculous 1t wants to
dictate not only the policy but the
menas of getting it adopted. Strong
editorial support of the road bonds
when they were up for consideration
would have been much more to the
point.
AS the Herald contributed $50 in
hard cash and several pages of news
and editorial support to the bond is
sue the office is not much disturbed
over the Records accusation that we
were "luke-warm." The Herald has
numerous faults like all human in
situations, but being luke-warm is not

honest agitation over a pressing need
into a petty squabble with the Rec
ord. We ask the Record to read our
article again and if it wants to be fair
with its readers to print it entire
and let the readers be the judge if
there is q single statement therein
that can be contradicted.
Good roads are bound to come and
sooner or later the citizens of Grant
county will recognize the need of
system of permanent highways in
place of fair weather patch work
The last drive showed the futility of
wishing" things onto the people be-
fore they are ready for them. The
next movement will come as a de-
mand of the people for permanent
and worthwhile highways. The
function of the press as the Herald
sees it is to put it up to the people
getting results with their co-opera-
tion and best wishes instead OF the
bossy methods some papers are so
fond of exercising.
Just one thing more-the Herald
agrees that these are hard times and
that a permanent road program had
better await until conditions improve.
However, good, times or bad times,
roads remain bad in BAD weather and

the load of traffic increases at ter
rlflc ratio each year. No harm and
much good can come from an agita-
ton over so important a matter
Finally-the county board evidently
had no worry over 1922 times when
it passed the road buCget in full and
increased the total number of patrol
men by five and the mileage to a
point where this county leads the en-
tire state. Ii Grant county can APP
propriate for good weather main
tenance and stand the strain it can
do likewise for roads that will really
amount to something-or both. The
Herald will gladly pay its share for
home improvements and so we rest
our case.
The foregoing editorial from the
Record appeared two weeks ago, and
was reprinted with our comment to
appear last week, but was left out for
lack of space. Now it seems, from an
editorial of last week, that the Record
is of the same mind as the Herald on
the road problem. This is what the
Record says:
The exceptionally bad roads this
realize that it costs more money not
to have good roads than to have them,
especially in an inlahG community
like West Grant The loss to the
business men and farmers because of
bad roads has been enormous and
while We realize that permanent
roads cost considerable money we
know that impossible roads such as
We have had lately, are a far greater
ii indirect tax on the community"
AS there seems to be no real diff
ference of opinion between the two
papers the Herald is at a loss as 70
why the Record interjects caustic
and untruthful comment on the Her
AIDS stand. 1t cannot be jealousy as
the Record thinks too we'll of itself
to be jealous of anyone. We do not
consider it animus as the Record,
with all it's faults, is not hateful 1t
must be natural prediction for
putting in" and as it seems impos-
sible to set down" on the Record and
as the Herald does not believe the
public pays us for foolish squabbles
and interminable disputes, we will. in
the future, ignore the Records butt
insky ways unless some question of
fact or public interest is at stake.
