How Uncle Sam Is Overloaded

By JOSEPH S. sHBRLEY. Congressman Fth District # Kentucky
HAT is happening in every state of the Union today? The
state legislatures, the state governments, instead of being
w. virle and efficient, are becoming anything but that. State
officials do not want to use the power of their state govern
ments BECAUSE IT MEANS STATE TAXATION to pay for
its exercise, which the people have to pay directly out of their pockets,
and so you find officers Of state governments charged with these mat
tiers coming up to the national government to ask it to do WHAT TT
is THEIR DUTY TO DO, SO that they be relieved of the burden
and the states relieved of the cost. I believe it was intended that the
individual states of America should be sovereign states, keeping at
home among the people 80 per cent Of the things that affect life, lib
erty and property.
BELIEVE THE SAFETY OF THE COUNTRY LIES IN KEEPING
SUCH GOVERNMENT AT HOME.
But ii a modern tendency to come to Washington because it is
easier than going to the different states; and it has gone 81 far now
that we have the doctrine proclaimed that whatever is big, BECAUSE
IT is BIG, must be solved by the national government. We will
swamp our government. We will destroy a REPRESENTATIVE
government in the true sense of the term if we go along this road.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.


We wonder if the time will ever
come when popular rights will be rec
ognized as a political necessity. Boss
ism is a carbuncle attached to the
hulk of state by public indifference,
and the desire to have organization
take the place of individual interest
is a betrayal by the people Of their
dearest privilege under the constitu-
'tion. Hence If from the Colby move
ment in New Jersey the people may
be aroused, to think and vote for
themselves without dictation or sug-
,gestion from party bosses and coun-
ty ring maghates, a great step will
have been taken in the regeneration
OF our political system. Surely the
American voter. with the oppo4tuni-
ties for education constantly sat his
command, is too highly civilized and
fnSt fcted longer to be made su1Sef.

BOSS STRONG RESPONSIBLE.

The Board of Freeholders has just
completed the work started by the
old board by paying out several more
thousand dollars on a bridge which
has already been more than paid for.
Before Jackson's senate bill No.
262 became a law there was a chance
of the county recovering some of the
Taxpayers money which has been
thus squandered. 1t should not have
interfered with the opening of the
bridge, either.
Alan Strong drew the bill which
made legal all the rascality in con
nection with the structure.
Senator Jackson, Boss Strong's
tool, railroaded the measure through
the legislature in the confusion of the
closing hours.
Boss Strong held up the opening
of the bridge until public sentiment
became SO strong that the governor
was forced to sign the bill as the
quickest way out Of the difficulty,
regardless of its meaning to the tax
payers p~ocketbook.
The question is no longer "Who
held up the bridge?" 1t is, "WHO
RAILROADED THROUGH THE
BILL ROBBING THE TAXPAYE RS
OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS?"
The answer is the same for BOTH
BOSS STRONG, THROUGH HIS
TOOL, SENATOR JACKSON.
The people wanted the bridge, and
they could have had 1t and saved
thousands Of dollars which are now
gone.
The citizens have only Boss Strong
and his machine to thank. They
should not forget him when the pri-
maries are held.

A pretty condition of affairs, isn't

it?
George Silzer is the special coun-
sci employed. Who is going to pay
Mr.. Silzer's bill? The county is pay
ing an attorney to take care of it's
legal work, yet when a legal battle
begins against the Pennsylvania rail-
road, he opposes the county, but con-
tinues to draw his salary out of the
public treasury just the same.
At the same time, in order that
their attorney might represent the
corporation, the county must hire
another lawyer.
Watch who pays Mr.. Silzer for his
work. 1t is dollars to doughnuts
the county foots the bill.
In that event the county is paying
both the lawyer fighting on their
side and is also paying the railroad
lawyer fighting against them. This
is the way Boss Strong and his ring
use-the public funds.

The EVENING NEWS, Saturday,
criticized the coal dealers for COM
bining in order to keep up the price
of coal to be furnished the school
board. Yesterday a local coal deal
er cancelled his advertising in this
newspaper.
Perhaps that coal dealer thought
by spending a few dollars with lis he
became immune from all criticism.
He has found that he was mistaken,
If he did.
The advertising columns do not
control the editorial policy of the
EVENING NEWS.
An independent newspaper foses
thousands of dollars every year by
standing up for the peoples rights at
all times. Corporations, combina-
tons and political rings control a
great deal of patronage, but a news
paper that cannot exist without them
is not worth the price of a penny, and
they are of little service to the pub
lie.
The space left by that coal dealer
who withdrew because he could not
prevent the NEWS serving the people
is today filled by another business
mar who does not let his personal
likes and dislikes interfere with his
determination to get all the bust
ness he can.

BELIEVE that wealth, which owes the greatest part of its
