Announcement that the packing house \ti soon to begin buying hogs la good news for thla part of tho state. The .Roberts brothers who have bought this plant are the most potential as ret Marahalltovvn has acquired In many a year. They may som* day rival the Western Urocer Company group In their value to this community. lieut enant Roberts, recently out of the ar my service, told the tdltbr of the T.-R. in Chicago that it was their in tention to make Marshalltown head quarters for their company if their expectation!) were fulflllc^l. They have a model packing plant In Chicago ad Joining the _llj Armour plant. They naw employ 4.10 men, have a fine busi ness established, are well rated finan cially and should grow but they can't expand their plant In Chicago because Armour owns on two Wdes of them and will not sell at any price. They have sought an outlet at Marshalltown. I^abor proble.tw get worse Instead of better in a city like Chicago and there is a tendency on the part of indus tries to scatter out away from the congested centers. Marshalltown may some day have a tremendous paioklng industry here with several thousand of its people dependant upon the packing house pav roll tor support. An Increase In salaries for mayor and councilmen may save the commis sion form of city government If It at tracts candidates of greater business capacity but up to date the commis sion plan has not met with the expec tations" of its friends. Altho the law requires only cne meeting per month and. men of executive experience could Herform the duties of city councilman without abandoning their private busi ness the belief has been that a man must have nothing else to do or must be willing to pass up a less lucrative job if he serves two years In city of fice. In the future more responsibility should be placed on a 12,400 mayor with two councilmen of trained busi ness experience to advise and counsel with him. If Ford finally lands with Bell these two men can give the coun oilman's function of a commission gov ornment a fair irial.
