Any legislative program which did not.inelude increased taxes would» be in- eredible on its fave, It is said that the way of the trans- gressor is hard, but it has to be to with- stand the heavy traffic. We read that about 5,000 stars are visable on a clear, dark night. And if you don't believe i: count ‘em. Many motorists seem to think that warning signs at railroad crossings are in- tended for the locomotive engineer. « The state of Washington is by far the greatest apple producing state, neverthe- less it has the usual quota of physicians. ‘A prominent probibitionist, in leaving the presence of Roosevelt, told the presi- dent that he was strong for him to the ex- tent of 96.8, but couldn’t go the 3.2. Twenty years aro, ic was generally agreed that, whatever might happen in the Far Bast, the peoples of Islam would never respond to Western ideas or be stirred into independent activity. Today, no part of Asia has been more decisively aroused than the lands of the Turk and the Arab. Hoovererats—the bolters of 1928— are getting very little consideration at the hands $f the administration in the award- ing-of patronage. it should be.—Tampa Times, Yet we know a véty prominent official of the Democrat- ic party of Florida’ is recommending a very conspicuous Hoovercrat a very important federal appointment.— Tampa Tribune. Despite all precautions, some Hoovererats will sneak in, but the great majority are tagged. Which is exactly asj of 1928 for} HOPE IN A FREE PRESS (Grit-Advoeate, Julesburg, Colo.) Freedom of the press is ever an aliv and active topic. Every day in every com- munity stands the man or woman who would muzzle the press, who would censor what the press has to say. But when it comes to finding the proper person to do the censoring, even the advocates of cen- sorship run amuck. Censorship of the press, of the church, of school books, of the man at the curbstone, is absolutely the right thing to do. The only trouble we find in carrying out this right is to-find the right man to do the censoring. If you are “agin” religion, you don’t want the preacher to be the censor. If you try to live a life of abstinence and want others to liye that way, too, you don’t want to let the wets do the censoring. The believer in war does not want the pacifist to censor and the pacifist argues that war propaganda should be censored, The makers of the’ American cod- stitution saw with what difficulties the nation would be confronted in years to} come when they wrote in plain language that “Congress shall make no laws re- speeting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” This phase of the constitution, like all other phases, has been violated many times. Wars always bring about censorship of the press, because those fighting the war in upholstered offices are anxious to fight it their own way. As a people, let us always cry for a free press. The right is abused but much less so than would be a censored press. Men’s freedom goes hand-in-hand with freedom of the press. Censor the press and you jepoardize your own liberty. LET’S USE SENSIBLE RECOVERY (Express, Red Oak, Iowa) “True economy is not the saving of money, but the saving of men.” So says Roger Babson who says that the American people have gone from the extreme of speculating to the extreme of false econo- my. Myr. Babson’s statement smacks with truth. ° Extravagance and unjustified ex- ‘penses must be curtailed, taxes must be duced, overheads must be cut, but we must not go so far that we will endanger our social set-up. The reduction program in legislatures must be dealt with sanely and not adopted without due deliberation. Only a few years ago we were bor- rowing money, buying on pushing for increased government appro- } priations. Today we have leaped to the the other extreme. We fire labor, curtail expenditures to the bone and the result is an economy panic. There is a middle course. We can- not solve the depression by throwing more people out of work and reducing incomes to mere living costs, So far we have de- flated wages, securities, commodities and j we are in the process of deflating taxes, debts and rents. We needed to do some of these things and we have succeeded. The deflated process has reached the lim- it, Mr. Babson says. The need of the hour now is confi- dence which will restore purchasing pow- er, More deflation will be just as dis- astrous as speculation was in the extreme hoom days. We must protect incomes and keep labor employed to buy the pro- ducts we raise and manufacture. Sensible economy is justified ; ruthless economy will defeat our purpose. HISTORY STILL IN THE MAKING (Star-Clipper, Triaer, Ia. History is still in the making. Today we are living in the most eventful time in all history. Old ways, old standards, and old systems no longer ean survive because they do not meet the needs of the day. No business, no community, state or nation can defy the law of progress by moving back- ward a generation. Progress and pros-/ perity demands the cutting loose from all | hampering precedent, and uniting our forc- | es unselfishly to clear the ground for a new era. You can't solve the transportation problems ef an airplane by going back to ox carts and saddle bags. For those who have eyes to see, this j is the test of civilization—the trial of America’s fitmess to survive. | Those bartenders who have kept up their union dyes all along may have the last laugh yet.
