' (By Associated Press.) Charlottesville, Va., June 17.—A plea for conservatism in politics, a “stop, look, listen” policy to guard against hasty adoption of i1l consid- ered proposals, was the keynote of an address on “The Tendency of Our Times,” delivered at the University | of Virginia today by Representative Oscar W, Underwood, of Alabama, Democratic leader of the House of ‘ntatives. It was a notable on at Charlottesville, with i many of those who have gone forth n the university in the past re- ay tribute to their al- Inderwood is presi ma mater. Mr, ( tdent of the alumni and his son was | among the graduates, Mr. Underwood preached the doc- trine of the political uplift. “There are many changes,” he said, “taking place today in the political, econom- ic and industrial development of the nation. To the man lost in the maze of his own business, who has not the time or desire to climb to the | heights above his own personal ¢le- sires and ambitions, the way scems dangerous and the onward march beset with perils. But the man who is not tied down hy the personal equation is able to realize that the line of march legds to the progress mankind and uplift of socicty.” Mr. Underwood said the adoption of two amendments to the constitu- tion within the past year, one affect- ing the political machinery of the rovernment and the other changing the scale policy of the nation, clearly demonstrated that there is a strong sentiment in the country to brecak away from the xed standards that have conrolled the government in the past and that an onward movement is leading to the adjustment of na- tional life to new conditions ani pro- gressive ideals. . “No man,” he added, “is so bold as to declare that the recent consti- tutional changes are not in the inter- est of better government in the past and that an onward movement |is leading to the adjustment of national life to new conditions and progress- ive ideals. “No man,” he added, “is so bold as to declare that the recent consti- tutional changes are not in the inter- est of better government for the whole people and that they have not equalized and strengthened our fiscal system. “Only a few years ago a political party that contended that taxes on consumption should be diminished and that part of the government burdens should be borne by the wealth of the country was hailed before the bar of public opinion as being guilty of extreme radicalism. Yet even those who condemned the proposal have enacted a law taxing corporate wealth and have ceased to protest against an equitoble in- come tax that shall fairly distrib- ute a part of the tax burdens of the government on incomes derived from all classes of property. The tendency of our times undoubtedly is toward greater freedom of thought, uplift of humanity, abolishment of govern- mental privilege, equalization of the taxation burdens and an open, hon- est administration of the laws. “What may be regarded as radical today may be the Inner citadel of conservaism tomorrow. T he danger that confronts us in the onward march of the nation comes from the hasty adoption of ill-considered pro- posals, sometimes coming from hon- est but {ll-advised advocates of real progress, and as often coming from the cunning hirelings of reactionary interests who would under the name of progress start a false movement to mislead and confuse in the hope that they may delay the day when special privilege shall be divorced from our economic and governmen- tal system. We should move for- ward with conservatism that will avoid a reaction in public sentimert and abandon a radical on-rush that may lead to disaster or delay the ac- of No. 194, ] SAMUEL HUSTIN THOMPSO\I ok VG RARRIS & Ewikg Mr, Thompson is the newly appoints | ed assistant attorney gencral who de-! i fends the goulnmont in all suits be- fore the U, 8.

L] L] . The longest and loudest wail of Aistress heard by the new Demo- Washington from thousands of small cities. villages, hamlets and other centers of rural America. It is a cry of protest against the action of Post- master General Burleson in abolish- ing the back-stamping of letters. Formerly a postmaster was re- quired, as soon as he opened a mail bag, to stamp letters on the back with the date and hour of arrival and then to sort them for delivery. Mr. Burleson thought this practice consumed too much time and he or- dered it omitted. The complaints {invariably havs been to the effect that village poste masters are holding back the mall of their business competitors or thelp political or personal enemies. When back-stamping was required, a post- master could not withhold mail without being convicted by the sil- ent testimony of the arrival date, . . . Uncle Sam s, after all, a good and wise employer, notwithstanding the “kicks” that are heard from some of his employes throughout the domin- fons over which his flag flies.
