CHILD HEALTH
MATERNITY
CLINIC

DR.. Mildred Van Cleve of Madison
in charge Of the maternity and infant
health center for Wood county which
had it's first clinic at the court house
Friday, expressed herself as highly
pleased by the interest shown here.
Thirteen examinations were made,
eight Of these being examinations of
children which is considered a good
record for the first day. Dr. Van
Cleve, who is the physician in charge
of all health centers established in
Wisconsin under the Sheppard Town
er act, is being assisted at the local
center by Miss Mary Boyes of Marsh
field, state nurse, Mrs. Anna Clancy,
county nurse, and Miss Amelia Schroe-
del, city school nurse.
Clinics will be held at the center es-
tablished at the court house at four
week intervals throughout the year,
the next being December Is. Matern-
ity cases and children up to years
VI age are cAdIliIieu anu uidS SIloSeu.
It is not, however, the purpose of the
clinics to give treatment, but merely
to make recommendations.
Or. Van Cleve was highly pleased
with the facilities provided for the
center here and commended the local
people who were instrumental in Sc
curing the clinics for Wood county.
The Sunrise Club, as the Child We'll
fare committee of the Wisconsin Rap
ids Federation of Women, made the
arrangements and provided the equip
ment for the center.

HOMES VERSUS REVOLUTION

This country has a great deal of
radical material that would be swept
along in any wave of revolution that
might come along.
There is one element that forever
blocks the danger of movements of
this characteristic small home and
land owners are in the majority.
He who owns his home and sits
under his own vine and fig tree is
owned by the home influences that
are against revolutions.
The millions of little homes, bunga-
lows, gardens and acre tracts and
owners of suburban improvements are
the safeguard of the nation.
The man who owns a little home, or
fruit tract, or small farm, is owned
by that property and is not ar easy
mark for the red flag.
Legislators, bankers, employers of
labor and governments generally
should do all possible to make it
easy to own and keep homes.
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1922-07-14
GOVERNMENT OWNED
RAILWAY DEFICITS

Railways owned by the Dominion
of Canada failed in 1921 by about
$50, 900, 900 to earn enough to pay
their operating expenses.
To this should be added about $780,
100000 for interest on the investment
which was not earned.
Directly and Indirectly government
ownership of the railways last year
added to the burdens of the Canadian
taxpayer around $120,000,000 The
deficit officially admitted by the Can
adam government for 1920 was over
$70,0O0,00O and this did not include
interest on the investment in a large
part of the railways. Former con-
troller of statistics of the department
OF railways and canals estimated the
total losses, direct and indirect, in
1920 at about $136, 900, OOO.
Since the government guarantees to
the railroads of the United States
are withdrawn, they have incurred
losses, but the taxpayers have not had
to pay them. N
The United States government, since
the return of the roads to private op-
Grafton in 1919, has not guaranteed
earnings O met deficits.
And yet, after u experience with
government operation of railroads and
ships, there are still politicians and
individuals who would launch the
state or nation on endless government
ownership schemes.

LAZY VOTERS

The greatest danger to American
institutions lies in apathy of conser-
vative voters who, by failing to vote,
allow a small minority to inflict it's
will on the majority of the people,
In many primary elections from Is
to 20 per cent of the total registered
voters choose candidates to go on the
ticket at general elections.
The same procedure takes place ir
regard to initiative measures placed
on the ballot. Particularly is this
true where unusual taxation meas.
ures come up at special elections
those who have pecuniary interest in
the measure vote for it and thus a
minority of registered voters will load
a city, county or state government
with a burden of debt which all must
pay.

WHY NOT EIGHT HOURS?

President Harding is said to be con-
sidering the issuance Of an order for
eight hours work instead of seven in
all the government departments. This
would permit the discharge of ten
thousand employees and result in a saw
ing Of $4,000 900 a year. Well, why
not? Is the business of the United
States government any different from
that of any other corporation that it
should carry ten thousand surplus en-
ployes and incur a needless expense of
$25,000,000 a year? There is not a
business man in the country who
would allow his affairs to be conducted
in such a crazy fashion and there is
no reason on earth why the United
States government should do so. The
people are already protesting against
onerous taxes and they are going to
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1922-07-14

Every citizen should see that he is
properly registered and go to the
elections and vote, as a matter not only
of good citizenship but as a business
proposition.
The average business man would be
most indignant if the charge were
made that he allowed third parties to
contract debts in his name and then
objected to paying them. What is the
difference if a business man allows
himself to be loaded with a burden of
tax debt simply through his negli-
gence or laziness in failing to go to
the polls and fulfill his duty as a cit
izen in voting for sound men and
measures.

UTILITY CUSTOMER OWNERSHIP

CALIFORNIA FOR COOPERATION

On the proposition Of cooperative
efforts to handle and market farm pro-
ducts, California is the most highly
developed and most progressive state
in the world and the most successful
in getting results for the growers. For
the Nonpartisan League to offer to
introduce state socialism there makes
carrying Goals to Newcastle a super
joke, and compares to starting a ba-
mana plantation in the arctic circle.
The allies of the Nonpartisan League,
such as socialism, single tax, state
ownership and academic political the
cries, are fatal to property and home
ownership by the individual family
which they tend to destroy. The Nom
partisan League leaders would, if they
had the power, establish Russian So
