The American Government consists of a grand total of 533 people elected by popular vote (435 representatives, 96 senators, 1 president and one vicepresident). Into the hands of this small number of men, the American people place the power, among other thines, to tax them, to regulate them and keep them at peace or at war. The fault of all government is that it ever seeks to increase its power. Seizing on emergencies ats pretexts (sometimes justifiable, sometimes not), it adds buneau after bureau, and puts more and more people on the public payroll. The most insidious thing about this procedure is that when the emergency (real or imaginary) has passed and there is definitely no need to contiue these bureaus, governments dp not close them up. All history shows that once having seized any new powers, governments cling tenaciously to them. It simply is a manifestation of human nature asserting itself. In the first place, politicions thrive on power, and in the second, those who have been added to the public payroll protest vehemently if any attempt or threat of art attempt is made to take them off.

Americans mistrusted the money power formerly vested in tens of thousands of individuals. Today far Congressmen Demand Expuuka ^jD*'oiic Robber Program Congressmen are insisting on immediate action toward the establishment of synthetic rubber industries which will become permanent institutions after the close of the war. The goal is to produce one million tons annually which would provide all car owners as well as the Army and Navy with as much as they need. Just now steel seems to be one of the principal bottlenecks that is hampering its development. Some experts say that the maximum output we can hqpe far this year will not exceed ninety thousand tons and that in 1948 we will be producing only 400 thousand tons. These same experts say that even in 1944 we will be 300 thousand tons short of one million ton goal. Perhaps these experts are pessimistic. We hope they are and perhaps it is a good thing for all of us not to have too much optimism. Certainly for many ^months* to come the civilian tire, situation is bound to 'become more acute. Therefore, it behooves us all to do less driving, no speeding, exercise more care in parking against curbs and inspect frequently our present tires with the view to mending cuts .and bruises that might soon render them useless and beyond repair It may enable you to identify your property if someone with less conscience than you decides to appropriate to his own use that which doesn't; belong to him. Tires are worth more than money because money won't buy them. Theft, fraud and other crimes with regard to this commodity are on the increase and will continue. Reports here indicate that the bootlegging of tires is beginning to take on the appearance of the bootlegging industry of liquor in the old prohibition days. War Production improving Appearances indicate that the arms output is really getting into stride.. Planes, guns, tanks, and ammunition are all coming off the production lines' in increasing volumes.

Much of the appeal of this splendid snapshot lies in the fact tlist every*, •thing from the foreground to the horizon is sharply in focus. Strive tot all-over sharpness in your snapshots.

Plac ing your camera on a tripod every time you take a picture, or at least resting it against a firm support, will mean sharper pictures consistently. J. H. Miller is building a terrace in front of his residence on Green street. John Regner made several improvements at his residence property on Green street last week, reshingling the house and filling in the lawn. Suprintendent of buildings and other officials of the Northwestern road were here last week and intimated that a new depot will be built here at an early date. A beautiful stern-wheel launch begreater power is delegated to but 533 riers breaking and with strikes and slow-downs being greatly eliminated, the flow of weapons will soon be immense. In aircraft the output is still above 3,000 a month and is heading toward the 1942 quota of 10,000 a month. ^JOne < encouraging sign is the fact .that the rate of bombers, compared with fighters and training planes, is growing. An impressive; individuals. Americans must learn to distrust this craving for political power for they have greater reason to be alarmed about it than of the erstwhile ocraving for money power. This appetite for power on the part of the government is progressive--becomes more and more voracious. The more it gets, the more it wants. Those longing to C. P. Barnes, was unloaded thfir e*rnin*B *° maintain those in here Tuesday and launched in the river. TUIHTY YEAU8 AGO The roads in the village as well as those in the country are getting in fairly good shape. Some of the auto owners have already brought their machines into service, while those iess enthusiastic are waiting for the bad spots in the country roads to heal up. Math Steffes has built two new cottages upon his property along Fox river south of the bridge. The foundation for the garage that is being constructed by J. W. Schaeffer, just west of Math Freund's blacksmith shop on Pearl street near the4 in power, already having taken over production of tanks is rolling off the lines. At the present rate, some observers say, United States industry could fill existing United States Army requirements in two months. The British are accepting United States as standard, and it is said will shift their output to American models. That is a great gain. In guns, it is reported, that the bottleneck is finally broken in anti-aircraft weapons. They are going to begin to go soon on a mass production basis. It is the same with other gains. Ammunition is no longer a problem. It was the chief bottleneck until a few weeks ago. There was not enough ammunition for the few guns we had. That is now being changed. The big problem now is to speed our shipbuilding so that these vital war materials can be delivered. Even that will not solve our many things, demand that more enterprises be put into their hands to run. Each additional thing mulcted from private enterprises and taken over by government, gives government just so much added power. This in itself is bad enough but it also is expensive-- it heaps additional burdens on every American not on the government' payroll, for it is those outside of government who must give of side; .That government is best which rules least, keeps the number of employees on its payroll at a minimum, and pares its expenses to the bone. It naturally follows that such a government, except in times of war, does not have to levy back-breaking taxes.

Girls Always Se^m to be Attracted by the Warrioi In days of old, knights often went into battle wearing a token from a fair lady. Times have changed, but not people, reports the Illinois WPA Writers' Project. During the flurry at the Mexican boder in 1916, Captain Irving Goff McCann, chaplain of the First Illinois Infantry, was given the job of reading and distributing letters written by girls who sought to correspond with soldiers. Some were humorous. In his book, ' With the National Guard on the Border," Chaplain McCann tells of a letter which in part read: "Dear Chaplain, I am not a flirt, and I don't want to correspond with just anybody. . . ." Another asked for a soldier "with blue eyes, ligbt hair, and about six feet, two in height." Sharply restrictive was a letter in which a young woman said that "if you can find a young man about thirty-five years old who is free from foolishness, I will be glad te cor* respond with him." "Smokejp for Yanks" funds. Later he was the moving spirit in the start of a neighborhood salvage campaign that netted about two tons of war materials. 1 Many persohs, the Governor said, do not realize thi salvage possibilities in their own homes or places of business. He reminded Illinoisans that every home is a "mine" which must be "worked" systematically. "Most of us have old shirts, household and factory or farm appliances, old rubbers and many other things we no longer use," the Governor declared. "We should round up all these things, call a local charity group, or dealer and start those materials on their way ! into war industrial channels." Waste must be stopped, Governor Green said. Nothing of value should be overlooked or destroyed. The success of the salvage campaign is indicated in reports reaching Robert Tieken, chairman of the Sal. vage committee, Illinois State Council of Defense. He announced that more than 112,000 tons of scrap metals have been recovered, and said that hugs quantities of paper are literally pouring into waste dealers in all State communities.
