1t would be great saving to the
tax payers of the city as it world not
only do away with this waste, but it
would bring in nice amount of taxes
from the individual business, and we
would have the room now used by
this department available for some
other purpose.
Seems to me there is another ex-
pense we could save on, and that is
the police force. Do we need two
policemen? Some cities are getting
along without any.
Am expressing my views for the
purpose of urging a cut in taxes for
myself as well as all other taxpayers
in the city.
Let's hear from some more, as I
am in for the right thing and stand
ready to be convinced if my views are
wrong.

Dear Sir
Four OF Us

Editor,
The Journal Mail Box
Dear Sir
| just want to put in a sincere
tribute to the River Falls Peoples
Hospital, and to say that it is an in
stitution which this city ought to
take lots more intere.t in and give
more support to.
The fact of this institution being
in operation here has saved life in
many instances, and it is crying
shame that its existence must be
fought for every year by small cir
Gle of public-spirited people against
narrow-minded, self-interest opposi-
ton.
Those who contributed so literally
this past year deserve high praise
and / hope that in the future some
arrangement can be made whereby
this whole community will join to in
sure pelmanancy and wider scope to
the Peoples Hospital

ANOTHER ECONOMY PLEA
Journal Mail Box
River Falls Journal.

Journal Mail Box
River Falls Journal.
Dear Editor
Have read with interest the letters
in YOUR Mail Box as published in your
paper, and wish to express my views
in regard to the letter published last
week pertaining to our City Electri-
clans Department.
| think by all means this depart
ment should be done away with, as
am satisfied that the way it is run
it is a losing proposition, taking
good deal of the profits of the light
and water plants to keep it going.
My idea is to put this department
out entirely and let some individual
or some company have this business,
which, by the way, would make d
nice business for someone, including
fine line of electrical fixtures.
This concern would have its own
linemen to do the house wiring and
take care of all the work in that Line
in the city, and if the city had to have
some work done on it's line it would
go to this concern and have their
linesmen do it, and pay them for it.
All the city would need would be a
good lineman (frst-class) to look
after our lines and the plant, and
have two men to run the power sta
tions.
Am sure that the public would get
better service in that way, and also
get it cheaper, as service under the
present plan is very poor--you can
not get anything done when y1p want
it.
If any individual would run his
business the way this department. is
run, dare say he would not continue
>ver year before he would have TO
lose up, on account of the losses.

REPLIES TO POWER PATRON

River Falls Journal
no Gu.

Mail Box Editor,
River Falls Journal
Dear Sir:-
Perhaps | didn't get the whole
drift of "a City Power Patrons"
letter in the Mail Box last week, but
it strikes me as absurd as an idea
Of city economy I'm just as strong
as the next fellow for reducing ex-
penses that the people have to pay
for government, whether it be ma
tional, state, county or city, but |
don't believe in jumping Off without
knowing just where we'll land.
| don't believe River Falls can get
an electric supervisor and crew that
would do more work or better at any
less than the city is paying now, and
the present system keeps somebody
on the job all the time, whereas If
'Mr. Patrons idea was carried out
there might not be anyone available
to do work when it was needed most.
Is "Mr. Patron" thinking of setting
up in the business and looking for a
monopoly on it here?

Journal Mail Box,
River Falls, Wis.
Dear Editor
Apropos of Frear's eagemess to
have this country recognize Soviet
Russia:
In the Jan. &c issue of The Satur-
day Evening Post, page As, the arti-
Gle on "The World Struggle For OH'
tells that the Soviet government has
stipulated that a contract for con-
cession could be cancelled by Moscow
if the country of the person entering
into the negotiations did not recog-
nize the Soviet government! within
five wears.
Of course it is probable that Frear
was ignorant of the real object of the
Unofficial Commission sent over by
. Hearst, but Hearst is undoubtedly
very much interested in oil, especi-
ally in California.
Also Frear admits that he was
selected as a member Of this "com-
mission" from among large number
of congressman, probably for his we'll
known "red" sympathies.
1t would be fine thing for the oil
interests to have Sovietism recog
nized in advance of any concession

eminent has an air service plant
in which something like $1,000

in the face of our national air
service inadequacy would be
pure and unadulterated extrav-
agance. sHg&
No field in the United States
had better record for possible
flying hours than Souther Field.
The ground is such that a plane
can take off few minutes af-
ter heavy rain. In other fields
some of which are now used,
it is impossible to use the ground
for days after heavy rain.
The climate here is such that
flying is possible every month
in the year, whereas in the
North there are many months in
the year when cold weather pro-
hibits all air practice.
Aviation is in its infancy
it is just coming into it's own.
The government should re-
hablitate Souther Field.
1t should greatly increase its
appropriation for aviation. 1t
should train hundreds Of men
where it is now training dozens.
The cost of one battleship
would finance field for years.
While we are scrapping our
ships we should be increasing
our air service.
The next war may be gener-
alton off. Every man hopes so.
