Barstow Incorporation Debate Spurs Tax and Growth Talk
Editorial notes opposition to incorporation links to higher taxes and fear of outside control. It cites July 1918 post office receipts up from the previous year and argues incorporation would boost civic growth, while school affairs remain state controlled. The piece mentions new publishers Gilliam Broz in Prairie City and a Gazette merger improving local printing.
