Any fort ta curb intelligent freedom in an attempt to perpetuate the present status is an obstacle to progress and freedom. Even in education circles, sometimes, and conclusion is restricted, usually to placate financial, economic or religious groups whose patronage the intelligence-dictators would either have continue or begin. The future welfare of humanity is sacrificed for such current favors. Tolerance of discussion, based upon ainkerity of belief, is the foundation alike of both democratic government and the maintenance of human liberty. Without freedom for criticium of both doctrines and deeds, no error can be corrected, and ne improvement may be looked for when eman beings have been totally subjected te mental contre! and censorship A particular disagreeable fact in ev- ety case where some dictatorship de- erees beliefs and opinions for everybody is the savagery with which opposition is Mitpeked and physically obliterated. Those who proclaim the unquestionable certain- ty and superiority of their own viewpoint fear to let it mix in free competition with other ideas and example which entirely refutes the confidently expressed conviction of certainty . a terror BYRNES HELPS ORPHANS Royalties amounting to about $100,- 000, received by former Secretary of State dames F. Byrnes fromthe publication of have been put into a special fund to provide «cholar- ships fer worthy boys and girls Because he was left fatheriess, Mr Ryrnes has limited to or- whens. Already, thirty heen awarded, each providing about $2,000 to each student. The fund will prohably be dissipated within two years. All that Mr. Byrnes asks of the young henefic les scholarships have people whe benefit from his generosity in that they “give something back to society.” Certainly, this is the least that this distinguished American can expect from those who owe their education te his desire to make it possible for others te secure an education without enduring the hardships he underwent. tion is the énormous government spending during the Depression in the 1930s. At first the government's spending was on a «malt seale, but year after year President Roose. velt had it increased, and still the Depres- sion continued. As Citizen readers ma re~ call during that spending orgy, govern | ment economists repeatedly declared that prosperity was “just around the corner.” It was not long before the public general- ly was talking about the elusive prosperity that determinedly refused to come around the corner. Business did not begin to perk up in any appreciable degree until war clouds began to gather in Europe. Business has its cyeles and always has had them. The Bible tellx us about the seven lean years and the seven fat years. | Good business can net go on forever, de- spite amy governmental or other action to try to keep it going. And neither does bad business go on forever. A cycle, psycholoyi- cal im its conception, runs itself out, how, nebedy knows. Everything in the universe is constantly changing, including man him- self and man's business, Ifa Depression follows the present recession, the public may be sure that good business will eome again. We conform to the laws of Nature, and, whether or net we like it, we = must conform te the laws of supply and demand, the basis of business or the lack of it. CITIES AND TOWNS NEED MONEY —— The Municipal League of Tennessee recently concluded a convention, approv- ing the idea of Senator Estes Kefauver, that a commision representing federal city, state and county viewpoints, work out comprehensive tax plans acceptable to all the agencies of government. There was general complaint that state and federal governments have rele- gated cities to a deplorable financial posi- tion through their usurpation of available tax sources, It is obvious to any student of muni- cipal government that this important unit of all government is being hamstrung by lack of financial resources. Consequent- ly, most of the cities and towns through- out the nation find it extremely difficult to meet ordinary expenses, much less pro- vide the public with facilities and services that modern civilization demands» It inclear that the federal govern- ment hax hogged most of the income-pro- duction deviees of taxation. What is left has been seized by the state government with the county government managing to get the remainder. Even in the bution of state funds, the municipality i net reyarded as a werthy child of the state and rarely shares in these appropria tions made by state legislatures, distri STATE BELONGS TO A GOD In taking over the State of Travan- core, the Gevernment of India recognizes the primary allegiance of it» Maharajah to a Hindu god rather than to the Domin- on Tt seems that, in 1750, the ruler legal ly made over the ownership of his extate to his househeld god and, since that time, his successors have ruled Travancore ax vassals of the ged.
