THIS Is THE YEAR TO CONSOLIDATE

Despite the general feeling that KEY
Westers are too busy this year 10 run for
public office or to take an active part in
prediction campaigning. the Nov. II bal
lots viii be crowded with one of the largest
fields in recent years. and qualified lists
probably will show the greatest electorate
of the decade.
- Twenty-Five candidates in the field
for city council posts indicate that a good
many of the city's business men are not too
busy, and there must be some reason for a
climb of more than ]. 900 in the voter regis
iratiOn lists.
With the quantity of "new blood"
available for political posts in this cleo
ton. there is no reason why it could not be
the time for a real discussion of the long
proposed, and long-blocked plan to con-
solidate city and county governments.
Many of the men seeking office this
year already have made the statement that
they are not interested in holding political
posts, as such, but that they are vitality in
terested in protecting the welfare of their
fellow citizens.
If that really is their attitude, they will
be in a position this year TO make real con-
tribution to the welfare of those fellow
citizens by doing something about elimina-
ton of the wasteful double government
system under which We labor now, matter
which The Citizen has been advocating for
a number of years.
After all, why not? Obviously, the
move is opposed by few men who fear it
would cost them their jobs, but in the main
such change would have less the effect of
forcing removal of present office-hOlders
than IT would have the effect of increasing
their efficiency.
We could take each office in the city
hall and courthouse for comparison, in
turn, but consider the case of the city police
and sheriff's office.
Certainly, a combination city and
county government would not have the eff
feet of putting any of the sheriff's officers
'or policemen out of work, but it would
eliminate a great deal of working at cross
purposes, and it would work for increased
efficiency. Under present conditions, both
forces are undetermined and it is impOs
sible for them to work together in the real
sense of the word.
Run as one organization, they would
save money, and they would do far better
job of enforcing the law in the city, which
is so much the greatest part of the county
that the two terms here are almost the
same.
Ask your candidates for city council
what they think of consolidation And if
they are opposed, ask them why.

18th Century Golden Age
OF Furniture Design

1T HAS been said that the
Golden Age of furniture design
is the Eighteenth Century. This
Is true not only of the familiar
English styles. but Of the French
periods as well.
Louis XIV, after OUTLYING
most OF his immediate heirs and
plunging the state into near
bankruptcy TO maintain the
glory of his court, finally died.
Unfortunately for France. the
grandson who succeeded him
and ruled as Louis XIV had no
desire TO right the eXtravaganceS
of his grandfather but rather
sought to Guido nm.

He ordered built the Petite

fame which sought TO outshlne
