A Break for Youth

IT HE YOUTH of Redwood Falls certain
ly can mark down the summer of 1896
= as one in which they had more than
the normal amount of good fortune. First
the city raised funds to start construction
of an athletic field which in itself would
make the year a banner one for the young
Sters.
The destruction of the school house by
fire July II was not welcomed by taxpayers
but there is no denying it will result in great
improvement to school facilities and long
run benefits to all
The old building, already inadequate,
would in the course of another decade or
two necessarily have been replaced with
modern building. At the present time the
district not only has the benefit of insur-
ance money but there is a strong possibility
that the federal government may provide a
PWA grant which will mean a big saving
in direct taxes.
With these factors in the districts fav-
or, it seems advisable to provide fully ade-
quate facilities at this time for future needs.
The new building should be large enough,
as the board plans, to accommodate the in
creased enrolment which experience shows
always follows the provision of better facil-
tiles. 1t should also be adequate for what
growth can normally be expected in good
healthy town in the next 25 years.
On first thought it appeared to be an
extravaganza to provide an auditorium
gymnasium in the new building when one
which is not greatly inadequate for pre-
sent requirements exists in the Lincoln
building. However, the explanation that a
gymnasium must be provided in the new
building to accommodate high school class
es because the grade school gym is already
in use every period of the day, changes the
picture. Since gym is necessary, the in
vestment in the auditorium certainly is
advisable at the same time.
The public will have it's say on import
ant matters relating to the new building and
it's location after hearing recommendations
of the board which will make thorough
study of every phase of the construction
problem. 1t will secure the best advice
available both from architects and school
authorities 1t has shown willingness, for
which we extend compliments, to keep the
public fully informed on what it is thinking
and doing.
Redwood Falls will have a school system
of which it's citizens may be extremely proud
and we repeat, it's been great summer Tor
the coming generation.

knows how to make an emerg-
ency splint which can be applied
to a broken arm or leg for safe

should be left where he has fallen

does know what to do in an em-
ergency can be summoned.
The establishment Of Red Cross

Big Recovery Factor

7 ENDING money to persons ambitious to
own their own homes is undoubtedly
one of the soundest steps toward recov-
cry taken by the present administration.
The figures on how much business direct
ly and indirectly is traceable to the revival
of the building trades, if available, would
be amazing.
A party who recently completed and
furnished home checked up on his stubs
and found he had issued checks for labor
materials and equipment of one kind or an
other to SO firms and individuals. This did
not by any means cover the number direct
ly benefting because one check paid the car
penters, the plumbers and other crews. 1t did
not include of course the men who manu-
factured the dozens of products which were
used in the construction work.
A situation where one has to speak now
for artisans in order to get them to do work
several weeks later indicates an active mar
ket for labor which is very good evidence
of recovery.

This organization undertook to cleanse

that the only pictures Americans would pay

from spicy to frankly indecent. Almost over

very close to speaking the truth.
While we would not have the United

| budgetary resources. without addi-
tional taxation, that would be more
than ample for their respective an
nual installments on the debt ac-
count.
The advocates of debt collection in
this country see this point very
clearly. Their difficulty is in getting
it across to the debtor peoples. The
present trend of affairs in Europe is
such that national defense is consid-
cred to be vastly more important than
payment of an old debt to the United
States. Europeans are therefore deaf
to this argument.
After all. this is question of the
purposes for which people are will
ing tc endure taxation. They appear
to pay taxes patiently enough for
some purposes. although they would
resist use of the funds in other ways.
This attitude is no stranger here.
There is little complaint about heavy
taxes on motor vehicles and motor
fuels when the money is spent on the
roads. even if il means relatively
wasteful expenditure. ANY diversion
of such funds to education. relief. or
other worthy purposes invariably
raises a storm of protest.
We are not in very strong POSI-
ton. therefore. when we undertake
to suggest how the debtor nations

ularly difficult to reconcile, our policy

manage their finances so as to be able
to pay U.S.
There is only one condition under
which the willingness of the people
to pay taxes MAJ have but little
weight. If dictator should decide to
resume debt payments and to in
crease taxes for the purpose. the peo-
pie would have little to say. In ac-
cepting autocracy. the popular rights
affecting taxation were relinguiShed
along with all other personal and
civic rights. The most rahid propo-
nent of debt collection could hardly
be low enough. however. to wish that
England and France would follow
the example of italy and Germany
simply in order that a tyrant might
force the collection of the taxes that
would be needed to square the debt
