A FEW WORDS TO OUR
CORRESPONDENTS


The Editor believes that these
little talks with the correspondents
are doing some good. He does not
hear so much profanity in the back
OFFICE as he did and that is a good
sign.
It seems that some of tina COR
respondents have taken thsse sug-
gest1ons little crosswise-one al
ways has these sensitive people to
contend w1th-those who take It as
a reflection on themselves when
one tries to tell them something
Tor heir own good. But, all in all,
the reporters are doing much bet
Ter. A country correspondent can
send in mighty interesting copy
when he takes enough pride in his
work to go to the bother Of get
ting the facts and does not try to
do it from his parlor window. It
takes time and a little energy to
get the facts, but facts help out q
story more than one can tell.
It takes as much talent to be q
good country correspondent as it
does to be a Washington reporter.
TO report for ones community is q
privilege. The training secured is
as valuable as the pay received and
even more so. Many q big news
paper man has started in this
humble way.
So If you are not too smart to
learn more read these little talks
and You may pick up something.
Now we want news, all of -. A
column is not too much If it is
news. If your story justifies five
hundred words send in that many.
But don't pass up news story tor
a two line item of no earthly in
terest to anyone.
Remember; WHO. WHEN, WHY,
WHERE and WHAT, whether you
write three lines or a column. Cut
out the "we" and don't put ed3.ozi-
ais in your news stories.

35 WILL.
MAKE A 1Oc GAS TAX

In all the propaganda put out by
tne supporters of Referendum
Measure IS not one word has been
SAID about the legality of the bill.
In all the discussion by the pro-
ponents of the measure nothing
Definite has been said in favor of
1t except that it would make more
roads, relieve unemployment and
mean no increase in the gas tax
all of which, on the face of it,
is mere talk and with no founda-
tlon In fact. The present scent
gas tax will not supply enough
money to even maintain the roads
that can be built for six million
dollars, consequently it is plain 10
see that the intent of the highway
commission is to have a 1O-cent
gas tax. Furthermore, Six Million
Dollars in Debentures will cost the
gasoline users of the state Two
and One-half Million Dollars in
interest alone in 10 years.
