First Of q Series
the subject of q report sub
mitted to the Board Of County
Supervisors last week by the
University of Virginia Bureau
of Public Administration. The
study was made at the Super
visors request.
The Bureau found many
shortcomings. but none that it
considered insurmountable un-
der the present system of gov
eminent.
This is perhaps the most sig
nifcant single item in the re-
port because there has been
talk that the county executive
system should be replaced with
Q county manager arrange
ment like Arlington County.
Secretary System
The county executive versus
county manager debate orig
mated while Fairfax County
still operated under the old
executive secretary system.
AS late as 1910, Fairfax was
the leading dairy county in
Virginia and for such q rural
county the executive secretary
system was adequate.
But the sudden population
surge that came after World
War II outdated the executive
secretary system almost over
night. New problems came up
every day that needed imme-
date action. The executive
secretary-who was the coun-
tvs top administrative officer
had little power to act with
out calling on the entire elected
Board Of Supervisors for help.
The crusade for q change
originated with the Fairfax
County Federation Of Citizens
Associations, which had become
the favorite forum Of the coun-
tvs new suburban jewellers.
The federation urged adoption
Of a county manager plan. in
sisting that it was the best type
Of government available to q
suburban county.
Rejects County Manager Plan
3 The Board Of Supervisors set
up a county government study
commission to evaluate vari-
Gus types Of government which
might be adopted. David Law
renee, Washington editor and
columnist, was made vice chair
man. He assumed a leading
role in the study. The COM
mission recommended the
county executive system over
the county manager plan.
A referendum was held in
November, 1850, with both
plans on the ballot. and the
county executive arrangement
won. It took effect on January
!, 1852.
Arguments pro and con on
the two set-upS revolved prin-
cipally around two differences:
/. County manager advocates
insisted the county executive
would not have enough admin
istrative authority because the
power Of appointing depart
ment heads would remain in
the supervisors hands. County
executive supporters replied
that appointments would have
to be on his recommendation.
Very Little Difference Noted
2. County manager advocates
protested that the change to a.
county executive system would
not help the unbalanced repre-
sentation system which had
come about because Of large
population increases in some
districts. Under a county man
ager set-up. all supervisors
would be elected at large.
County executive supporters
replied that this could be over
come by re-districting to allow
q fairer district representation
on the board.

Our Postal System

WHILE our Postoffice Department has
w apparently won its fight to get more
money from Congress, and thus avoid SER
ious curtailment Of service, the annual de-
ficit Of the Department is a problem for
Congress and a matter worthy of the con-
sideration of every American citizen.
In most of the countries of the world
the Postoffice Department shows a profit
and in most civilized countries the service
offered is better than that offered in the
United States 1t is only fair to admit, in
this connection, that the postal system in
many countries like Great Britain, is tied
in with telephone and telegraph service
also. and that the profit shown by the de-
partment often reflects profits from tele-
phone and telegraph revenues, which offset
deficit in the operation of the postal
service
Because Of the annual deficit, the Gov
eminent has been substituting the Post Of
flee Department for many years and will
probably continue to do so, to some extent

Rosy Picture Last Year

THE Securities and Exchange Commits
sion reported recently that sales and
earnings of corporations in the United
States in the last quarter of 1856 set a new
record.
This may be surprising to some who have
heard so much about the profit squeeze. 1t
is true that there is something of a profit
squeeze, but judging from figures released
by the Securities and Exchange Commits
sion this squeeze is relatively light-hand-
ed.
The SEC estimates total sales in the
final quarter Of 1856 at $751; 100 900 900.
These sales represent gain of nine per
cent over the third quarter figure for 1866.
Perhaps the key statistics released by
the SEC was that concerned with the pro-
fit margin, as compared to that realized in
1855 Z. S. corporations realized profit
margin Of Sd per cent in 1856, which was
not quite as high as that realized in 1865,
when the profit margin was ga per cent.
However, the difference was only one

Babson Park, Mass, May 8 Many
farmers write to me complaining
about the cost-prlce squeeze. They
are discouraged because for them

pect that many Of them have come
upon hard times because they are

Trend Toward INFLAMMATION
Tremendous changes have taken
place IN farming during my life
time. When / was boy. horses and
mules furnished practically all the
power on farms. Even as recently
as 1910. there was almost no mec-
anization on farms. In that year the
total farm population was 32,076.9 $50.
By 1850, this had dwindled to 25,-
058. 900. decline of 2l9 per cent.
Most observers estimate the present
farm population to be only 20. 000. 900
Thus farmers and their families now
account for only ll8 per cent Of
cur total population compared with
"a g per cent in 1910.

for some years unless postal rates are in
creased. Since almost everyone uses the
postal service, it is not unreasonable for
the Government to subsdize it's operations
to some extent.
However, it seems efficiencies and eco
Monies must be effected in the postal sys-
TEN and that rates will have to be raised in
some instances AS far as we are concerned,
first-class mail rates which have not
been raised in many years should stand
the brunt of any increases. Businesses are
already overloaded with Federal taxes and
those which depend on the mails would be
heavily penalized in relation to those who
do not carry on a mail-order business, if
business postal rates are increased.
We think it is good for the country to
have low rates on the mailing of books,
newspapers, magazines and anything which
tends to make accessible, at moderate cost,
the dissemination of news and educational
information, which constitutes a sort Of

Bad Custom For Friendly Town

ONE trouble with a small, friendly town
n like Farmville is the natural custom Of
waving to everyone that passes by in an
automobile.
There il no driver in the nation that can
keep his mind on driving and at the same
time notice everyone who is walking along
the sidewalk or. driving in his direction.
Even at moderate speeds positive dentfi-
cation Of the pedestrian is difficult until
the car has passed on down the road. The
only alternative in this situation is to
wave at anyone and everyone that is am
bling along the side of the road. This can
be embarrassing too, as we have noticed

tenth of one per cent and while this is not
inconsiderable, one should note the rise in
total sales and profits in 1856 which
gives an idea Of the rather healthy situa-
ton which exists for U.s. corporations and
which existed in the last quarter of 1856.
Sales rose for these corporations to
1907 800 900, 900 in 1856. Compare this with
total sales of S278,40O,OOO,OO 900 in 1866, one
will see that sales were up greatly in 1856.
Moreover, net profits in 1856, for U. S.
corporations, were $l6,200000, 900 as COM
pared to SIS, 100, 100000 in 1855 So, net
profits increased in actual money by ST.

We would be inclined to guess that if the
more than one-tenth of one per cent drop
in profit margin experienced in the auto
mobile industry in 1856 were eliminated
from the total picture, one would get
rather healthy picture Of U. S. corpora
tions for 1856. SO, the profit squeeze, judg-
ed from these latest figures, must be con-
sidered a relatively mild one.

Fish Permit Not Required
For Those Receiving Aid

Ohio residents, 65 years of age
or over, who receive financial
assistance from the Ohio Division
Of Aid for Aged, are not required
to purchase fishing licenses for
the 1888 seasons.
The announcement came from
Chief Harry F. West Of the de-
partment of natural resources.
He explained that the change in
the fishing license laws was a
result of legislation enacted by
the 102nd general assembly.
West emphasized, however,
that his office had received num-
erous calls of inquiry as to
whether or not the new ruling
pertained to hunters as we'll. He
stated that the law did not effect
hunters and therefore the age
and financial income status of
the applicant was not concerned.
Consequently all hunters must
obtain licenses under normal
conditions.
