No probleia of life has ever been solved by dodging facts and running away from the truth, The best f..m of moral education is mora! suasion; nevertieless, the soil must be fe: tile, or the talking-to is like so much chaff in the wind. As a general rule in life, one gets aoout what one pays for, and gets paid for what one is worth. Of course, as in all rules there are exceptions. The man who makes money finds it very difficult to keep money from becom- ing his God. Somewhere in the New Testament it says the love of money is the root of all evil. : Of the three outstanding dictators— Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin, 11 Duce who respects religion and is smart enough to leave it alone, fares the best, and en- genders the least trouble a. home.

The average citizen is usually taxed 'by the Federal government, whether di- rectly or indirectly, the State, the county, the schoo] district and the municipality, if he lives in an incorporated area. He is not bothered by the other 174,995 units al- though willing to admit that he has enough taxes to pay. The truth of the matter is that the hue and cry about taxes is over-played by business men, mostly of the larger size in ganized government should exist for busi- ness and not for the people residing in the territory. The average man. woman or child in this country receives great bene- fits from taxation—a truth that should not be overlooked at paying time. We do not imply that public revenue is not foolishly expended. Such a state- ment would not be true. We do not sug- gest that there are not too many taxing units or that consolidation in the new era of travel isnot, in off" Sith Morganiza- tions can ‘save considerable money for the taxpayers.and shouldubé:°undertaken as soon as, popular pressute’ig” siifficient to overcome «the strength,,.; of eftice-holders who might lose jobs: iA LYNCHINGS DECREASE For a number of years Tuskegee In- stitute has been tabulating the returns of lynching and it is pleasing to observe that ‘President F. D. Patterson reports bpt we! that there has been a decline in mob ac- our supply of sugar | tion every decade since 1887. Dr. Patterson gives three reasons for we sound observations. The first is the dis- appearance of frontier characteristics in the South; the breaking down of isolation in the South through the development of rural free delivery, increased communi- cation facilities; paved roads and radio; the third, “increased agitation within the South against lynching.” While the Tuskegee figures have.al- ways reflected a view that lynching was peculiarly a Southern phenomena it is surprising that the Negro does not give any credit to activity of people in other to con- Wemn something happening away from ‘home. He even goes so far as to term Tynching a special characteristic of the frontier in America, both in the West and Mm the South. the average mortal to seize upon various methods which are William Feather, a well-known editor, declares that several years ago he adopted a_ vigorous Snithended dis- 3. the daily dozen are still pursued,sbusi faithedaticithem has ‘been, shaken by the untimely death of believe, waste- fully and inefficiently conducted matter for encouragement.

The President looks upon the pro- posed program as necessary to en- | f: sure the success of democratic gov- ernment. Throughout the:world there is much impatience with the wastes and inefficiencies of demoeratic rangements. and dictatorships of rious kinds have been established. If political democracy is to survive in the face of such competition, we must build up an effective instru- ment of government, capable of cop- ing with the innumerable problems toat arise. In certain respects, however. the plan is a disappointment.
