Harper himself will testify, il
necessary, regarding the efforts
of the Drain Office for more

an inter-county plan calling for
deepening of the Red Run drain

project which he claims would

Oakland County is tsill making
efforts to deepen Red Run, with
Macomb County expected to pay
a proportionate share Of the

The drain commissioner con-
tends that the problems of Clin-

made the subject of an expert

the feasibility Of three different
methods of alleviating flood con-
ditions:
Cd Creation of a spillway

ANNiHTLATION

When you hear anybody talk about
IAN easy peace for the warlords in Ger
many and Japan ask him if he has lost I!
son in the war.
That is remark, in effect, that Key
West business man made ito The Citizen
Monday. He explained that his brother, &
physician ard former Key Wester, had
beer informed that his only son had been
killed in action on February 10.
'tThat young man." he added, chad
led an upright life and had prepared him
self for life of usefulness He was worth
more to the world than all the war mongers
in Germany and Japan combined, and yet,
for no reason of his own, his life has been
snuffed out
"He is only one of the tens of thou
hands of other American young men who
have lost their lives because of the mill
taristic cliQues in Germany and Japan, so
ask the loved ores of those men who have
lied what they think of an easy peace
You may be sure that nothing else but the
Wping out completely OF the German and
Japanese cliques will satisfy those sorrow
ng parents or other relatives of the Ameri-
cans who have died to assure us a continual
ion OF our freedom"
Find out the background of that man
" Woman you may hear talking about "an
easy peace, and the chances are you will
learn that neither of them has lost any
loved ones in the war. What father Or
what mother, who has lost a son in this
conflict, would favor giving an easy peace
TO war criminals. whose acts were direct
causes Of his death?
An easy peace now paves the way for
an early war. There is only ore way to
protect the youths of the future, and that
is to annihlate every vestige of militarism
in Germany and Japan.

WHY BE A SUCKER?

If you own a little home, no matter
how small, and earn little money, barely
enough to exist on, you are subject to every
known tax law of city, county, state mad
Federal governments. Your morey goes to
maintain all the necessary functions of
government. But a hundred million, or
five hundred million dollar government
owned electric power plant is not subject
to single tax that affects the private cti-
zen or industry, although it completes with
and destroys private business, and was
built with tax money provided by highly
taxed individuals and industry.
Since the federal program for social
zation Of electric power got under way. it
has become profitable for promoters, who
are entirely free of any financial invest
ment in electric properties, to create condi-
tons forcing their sale to municipalities
and other public agencies. Who is loser
when this is done? First, the people by
substituting socialism for private oppor-
tunity in one field of endeavor. Second,
the people again, through loss of taxes
which private company would have paid
and while h remaining taxpayers must
make up.
A hypOcritical argument advanced for
a city buying power company, is that it
could thereby escape the heavy taxes paid
by private company, and reduce electric
rates. For example, the 1914 financial
statement of typical private electric COM
pany now scheduled for the kill by pro-
motors of taX-eXempt public power in
southern state, shows that it paid in local
and federal taxes, $1,000, 1886, or Just %
percent of its gross income.
If it is a good thing for a city to go in
debt millions of dollars to have publicly
owned taX-eXempt plant to reduce electric
rates, would it not be better for the city to
remain out of debt and vote to exempt from
taxation the private plant, already provid-
ing electric service, and apply such subsidy
to rate reduction?
The taxpayers would lose either way.
but under the American system of private
enterprise, the city would remain debt-free
while having the same or better electric
service than under political management.
This is something for all communities to
think about when promoters of public own
ership of local electric systems present
their plans

HoT AIR DOESN'T CREATE JOBS

Almost every day some politician bra
zenly tells the nation that there must be
So million jobs after the war - or else.
Those who make such assertions have no
more idea than a iackrabbit how to create
aod maintain that many jobs. They say if
industry doesn't do it, government will.
Government cant do it except by wartime
spending which is maintained by wartime
taxation and bond selling. Such a policy
cannot continue indefinitely without de-
stToynR all savings, all competition, and
all industry
Permanent Jobs and earnings, which
maintain government, come only from in
duslry that can operate at profit. There
tore, instead Of peddling hot air and prom
lses 10 the effect that government will
maintain some mythical number of jobs,
which the people themselves would have
g. be taxed 10 death to pay for, the poll
lcians SHOULD be humping themselves to
see that private enterprise is given every
possible encouragement to go ahead and
EXPAND and employ the greatest number of
men at the best wages in order to roll up
production and employment to the highest
possible level
Government should not invade the
province of industry. as is now contemplat-
I'd hy many OF the political planners. If
