Libertyille Independent NUOREDS PEREECT | The original purchase of the lands in Cook County for forest preserve purposes --was reasonable but the way they have installed cement: sidewalks, concrete roads, large police fowes, étc, has brought on a burden of expense that even rich Cook County already is notic-- ing very much, and in Lake County if the same thing was done by establishing the forest preserve, the ex-- pense would be equally as large and once it gets under way it never could be stopped. -- ABe Y oaF e _ In ap editorial Sunday it said, "Lake County un-- wisely has declined to follow the example of Cook County for various reasons that are not sound in con-- nection with the establishment of a forest preserve. In years to come Chic,:fi:,' population will be spreading out l)f_urther an:mf:i :m:nd then preservation will be puch more ex ve much more necessary.'"' _ The Tribune is right! Chiengo's expansion IS8 a thing which the Tribune is consi erm%vnnd ~naturally we are always interested in that ourselves. However, this paper has taken the stand for years that it would be a terrific burden of expense to put on the tax payers of Lake County to set aside thousands of acres of land for the purpose of furnishing picnie grounds for the Chicagoans who want to get away from the city during the week--end. palpdiie It is not the origin of cost which is the alarming thing! awhinsce _ _ It is like the automobile.Upkeep is where the Hanger point comes. 5s k iyo s P _ 04 With the elimination of such tracts of lands as are included in Fort Sheridan, Great Lakes, the big Catholic School at Area and other similar places because they are exempt from taxation, it means that the balance of the county will have to carry on that additional expense. If you take away 50 per cent of the taxable pro erty it means that the other 50 per cent has to pay tg: ecurrent expense doesn't it? And the way the taxes have increased generally because of the change of conditions makes it exceedingly alarming to think of the possibili-- ties that might come from increased taxes by the estab-- lishment of a forest preserve in this county, _ _ _--_ Iake County can get along very nicely without a foresetd preserve °'so far as ITS RESIDENTS are con-- cerned, 6 Craieidl * idea. _ The Tribune is frauk in admitting that it is a thought for Chicago people's entertainment that Lake County is derelict in not adopting the forest preserve In other words the Tribune doesn't care how much expense is thrust on the tax payers of LAKE County so long as residents of COOK County are properly en-- tertained. * . _ The Chicago Tribune "d?)lom the fact that Lake County has not adopted --the Forest Preserve idea." case, _--_ _ Well, we're not.for it and we never will be and the vote some years ago showed very forcefully that Lake Countv residents as a whole ARE OPPOSED to the idea, 0 While in Mexico recently the writ-- er and a number of other newspaper men were asked what they thought of the situation in _ the Republic, what they thought of Mexico's future ete. ' Our opinion as stated then is reiter-- ated mnow. In Mexico tnat they must begin, among other things, to show to the world that its people have a semblance of honesty among them-- selves if they wish to become a na-- tion among nations. --Furthermore it is our belief that if Mexico has about ten or fifteen years of peace and a safe government is maintained thru-- out that time, then and then on!y will outside capital interest itself to a point where it will invest in a large way and take advan:age of the many resources as yet undeveloped in that country. La*e County Independent -- Waukegaon Weékly Sun But the one thing which is a hind-- rance to all Mexicoe :s the presence of iron bars, and grates etc. over the windows and doors sor hbhomes . and business places. The presence of these bars is a message to the world that the Mexi-- cans cannot trust themselyes at all, therefore if they do not trust them-- selves how can they expect the world to have confidence in them and lend the the helping bane waich is need-- ed to bring Mexico out of thaos. ' MUST LEARN HONESTY ° When you stop to think that a per-- son must of necessity carefully lock and guard every door and window in a home for fear that some thief will slip in and rob the ptace, when you stop to realize that during the noon hours between 12 and 2 o'clock peo-- ple bar their windows and doors as securely as they do during the night, it is quite evident to the world at large that the Mexicans cannot trust themselves even for a moment Thorefore It is our beliet that Moexi-- co must begin to prove itself honest among its own people before out-- siders will be willing to invest ex-- tensively in that country. To our way of thinking the pres-- ence of theose iron bars over all the windows and the knowledgo that a man driving an automobile into his yard wouldn't think for a moment of leaving his gate unlocked for a fow minutes shows people generally who ¥isit thore that the Mexicans as a whole are dishoncst and not: only caunot 'be trusted even amodg them Mexicans, by their iron--barrel windows and doors serve notice on the World they cannot trust them-- selves. Airplane to be means of preventing bandi-- trq in the Republic ere long. 7 > THINKING OF THEMSELVES, NOT OF US Cook County furnishes a frightful example of this lief if the time comes when the country should have a series of peace-- ful years outsiders will then have the confidence necessary in order to vest their momrey--anc=--aid--develoyp ment of those résources. -- Furthermore it is our belief that at the present time Mexico is on the road to the uplift wnich will come with the stable government and it ap-- pears as though the airplane will be one of the important factors to bring this thing about. At presént the Mexjcan government is operating an airplane plant just outside of Mexico City and to date has 60 air-- planes in operation. . A program is now under way for the construction of additional planes. The interesting part :s that the gov-- ernment is training all of its own aviators 'within the Mexican borders. At present there are vut two who are being trained in foreign countries, By the stunts the writer saw some %'th'e Mexjcan aviators perform it is te apparent that tney are develop-- ing that science of control of the air so that they may hold their own with outher countries. For example one expert aviator in making a fight recently flew, down so close to the ground that he man-- ouvered the machine directly through the hangar without a mishop. The general made the remark to the writ-- er that he never wou!rs allow it to be done again but poited with pride to the fact that his aviator had ac¢-- cogfllshed such a feat. he railroad running from Loredo The railroad running from Loredo down to Mexico City is a wonderful plece of construction; the road bed is very smooth and tae trains which the government operates there, to-- gether with the monster engines, ofl burning, are equal to any run in the states. Mowever, ta:s railroad is operated at a loss because of the ab sence of business along the route. One rides along a parren country without seeing a house or & farm or towns for miles at a atretch, When the time comes that outsiders invest heavily and irrigation is installed in that. valley it is going to be as fer-- tile as any other valley thikt lies be tween the mountains ll'nflm coun-- Mowever, until the Mexicans prove to the world at large that they are woing to be honest, that they can maintain a satable torm . of govern-- Frank Bott, Bush School--Rose Exon, Ames School--Marion Gehrke.
