draw salaries to this end. Talking about
diversion bitches and some of the minor
things for preserving the land, which need
correction and ignoring the very destruction
of the good earth itself, appears to us to be
"straining at gnat and swallowing camel"
"Not long since, we met a high official
in an organization whose sole purpose is
building the land After exchanging few
banalites, we inquired why his organization
was not up on the ball and demanding more
effective reclamation measures from coal
strippers, SO that future generations might
live in lands destroyed by open-pit coal
operations. His reply as we recall it, was
that they had decided not to engage in
politics or lobbying for legislation along the
suggested line, Their policy would be, he
said in substance, to continue advocating
good conservation practice and soil building
along previous lines, but to stay out of
politics.
"There you have it. While Rome burns,
Nero fiddles. What can a soil building or
any soil conservation agency do, or what will
be left to do if the very earth itself is turned
upside down and transformed into hideous
spoil banks, partially leveled and trans
formed into a wilderness of locusts, God
forsaken area where no one in a century
ahead will care to live?
at is our opinion that Dwight Miller
chief of the Ohio Board of Reclamation
which has to do with enforcement of strip
mining reclamation, is doing all that can be
expected under the present strip mine legis-
lation. However, the laws regulating strip
ping operations should be further clarified
and more teeth given them Much depends
upon whether or not Governor O'Neill takes
some interest in reclamation and demands
strict enforcement Governor Lausche gave
the subject much thought and his personal
attention to seeing what laws we have along
this line, were made effective. Let us hope
the present governor follows in his wake

Board and Federal Reserve
Banks have been set up to
police this operation-and to
ensure that it is not carried to
excess.
Now to understand this, you
must understand that when a
deposltor borrows $4,000 from
his bank, he is not given
$4,000 in cash. He signs a pro-
missory note for $4,000 and
presents this to the banks
cashier. The cashier does not
hand him $4,000. He takes the
note for $4,000 from the de-
positor-a promise to pay at
some future day-and he then
writes in the depositor's bank
book that ne has $4,000 added
to his deposits. And, of course,
the bank itself owes the de-
positor $4,000; that is, it
agrees to cash his checks up to
that amount. | repeat, this
system is perfectly sound, so
long as it is wisely policed.
However, there is another
performer in this transaction
who must be closely watched.
That is the Federal Govern
ment. And the government, in
these last IS years, has used
this mechanism in the bank
ing system to borrow over 100
billion dollars. At present, the
Federal Government is the
biggest borrower from the
banks. The government owes
the banks more than all the

that this enormous sum o. 2l5

Health Service

The state of Ohio has been forced to
cut by one-third its financial help to needy
aged persons who require health care
The step was made necessary, according
to division of the aid authorities, by decision
of the Legislature not to appropriate as much
money as the division thought necessary
and the continued rise in cost of health care.
Eugene B. Ward, director of aid for the
aged in Noble county, said that they are
carrying a case load of 800 aged people and
there are at least 80 recipients of health care
in this county
He also estimated that approximately
$4,000 to $4,000 is spent each month in this
county alone on health care. This would
include hospital care and medical attention
from their attending physicians.
The average person thinks of socialized
medicine as free medical service or service
paid for by the government
The medical profession has been very
much against this type of medical service
for they know that the person who controls
the money will eventually try to control
the doctors in their practice.

Postal Pay Raise

The first bill of the week was
salary-increase provis S i n,
roughly corresponding to the
increase in the cost of living, for
postal employees. This legislation
poses a dilemma involving the
cost of government and the in
flatiOnary pressures now SO evid
ent.
Boosts in the cost of basic COM
modities, including steel, newt
ably signal general increases in
the cost of living. These increases
reflect added production costs
based upon wage raises granted
within various industries. When
this occurs, the price tag for what
the government pays for, includ-
ing Federal salaries, must reflect
the increase. We can ponder
which came first, the chicken or
the egg, and come to no con-
clusion. However, when the
spiral begins on a wide scale in
private industry, government in
creases may lag behind, but it
is inevitable that they follow the
| upward trend if the skills of
career employees are to be re-
tanned.

aries. Not only do the firms sol

the advertising to entice the
