ON OUR
DOORSTEP
By PARKER T. ANDERS SON

Our public school system after more
than hundred years tryout has
among other things made readers of
the American public Everyone, when
he reaches years of discretion, wishes
to choose his own reading. He wants
, to select his own mental and spiritual
diet as it were. In large families one
will sometimes find a profusion of
newspapers, magazines and books ca
tering to the tastes of members of the
household AS reading is educational
and thought-provoking, this custom is
a favorable sign
Good books are high-priced and only
small minority of the people are
in position to purchase them. In com
munities where there is no library
service those who wish to keep up on
literature must associate themselves
together in clubs to purchase books,
that is cooperate. One of the best
cooperative book clubs in the state
| is that conducted by the Farmers
Union Educational department When
the Blaine county Carnegie library
was established soon after the county
was created in 1912 book lovers i'm
agined they would have a paradise of
good literature near at hand For
several years farm people patronized
the book shelves literally. Then the
county commissioners were stricken
with economy. An unframed librarian
was hired, library levies were cut and
the service deprecated AS force for
adult education our unsupported in
st1tut1on is weak and flabby. 1t does
little more than furnish a comfortable
reading room supplied with newspa-
pers, periodicals and books for the
good people of Chinook and the i'm
mediate vicinity. The library is run
by self-chosen clique of county-seat
residents and the commissioners are
loath to rescue it.
We learn from The Voice in its
write-up Of the directors meeting re-
Gently held at Great Falls that it was
decided to devote more space in the
future to local news from the various
counties. This we believe to be
innovation While the
Voice is essentially state paper it
need not deal exclusively with state
wide or national questions. Each of
he 81 counties has its local prob
ems and its coverage should popular
re the Voice. By this it is not meant
o crowd the columns with local budg-
ITS of three-line items about John
smith or Maggie Murphy crossing the
ow pasture to visit her cousin. Such
hit-chat can well be left to the
ounty papers who trim their news
olumns to suit the views of advertis
rs or the local Lions club. The Sc
ounties have political, economic and
ocial problems which can be exploit
with more or less brevity that will
ommand the attention of a wide cir
lie of readers.

Editor, The Peoples Voice: l have

One month ago the referendum quota
vote was held and carried. That
means compulsory control Looking
back over the control record since it
started, we find the national average
actually increased and now after eight
years the largest surplus on record.
Evidently there must be a sound and
practical solution found. Personally
