What Political Ownership and Opera
ton of Industries Involves.

The extension Of political OWNERSHIP
and operation of industry inevitably
leads to government autocracy Sc
long as the state confines itself to the
exercise Of political functions, demo
cracy may prevail. Whenever it un-
dertakes the management and control
of industry, democracy becomes i'm
possible for two reasons; first, sue
cessful management of an industry re-
quires the establishment of expert au-
thority, independent of ability to sway
an election, or to carry state city,
county, ward or precinct; second, the
great power established over the daily
life of the people becomes political
spells, an object of pursuit for gain,
commercializing politics on the one
hand and making political authority
an almost Irresistible instrument of
coercion on the other.
81, The academic arguments for public
ownership are unanswerable when dis
able conclusion that in democratic
republios it means simply political pos
session and operation. The only way
in which political operation of an in
dustry is possible. is through auto
cracy; that autocracy which in Ger
many has given the people govern
mental efficiency, but has taken from
the people their freedom at all too
high price.
The exaggerated state, in which the
citizen is the creature, though he may
be the pampered creature, of the state,
is utterly inconsistent with individual
freedom for which Americanism has
always stood. We are fighting that
kind of state In Germany today. In
Germany we have the horrible exam
pie of autocratic state socialism; in
Russia Of democratic state socialism.
Neither of them is preferable to a gov
eminent which seeks to regulate rath-
err than control human relations
State socialism is like arsenic; lit
tie Of it may help patient; too much
of it kills him. Our progress in this
direction should at least be gradual,
and we should to it, that the poll
ticians do well the tasks they are given
before we load them Up with an I'M
limited quantity Of additional jobs.
Above all. we should avoid, if rep
resentative republican government is
to be perpetuate6, surrendering the
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
we won from King George, to a federal
army Of payroll politicians. The war
is the excuse, and in some instances
the sufficient reason, for the extension
of political functions, but that there
shall be political ownership of bust
ness, that the press shall be beholden,
for instance, to politicians in power
shall owe his job to politician on
the payroll, that the politicians shall
have unlimited power, backed by the
authority Of the state, over the cir
cumstances of every citizen, is an in
tolerable thought. The establishment
of such a state would bring upon the
people penalties similar to those which
have followed the complete politicaliz-
ing of life in Germany and Russia.

certain things in order to attain eff

In looking over the old files of
the Kendrick Gazette. dated 1908.
we notice in the published proceed
ings of the village council that con-
ditions were much the same then as
they are now. Violent sessions
were held for the purpose of decid-
ing whether it were best to pass an
ordinance prohibiting the grazing
of stock on Main street and the
front yards of the property owners !;
also to prohibit chickens from de-
stroying the backyard gardens.
Even so long ago they talked of i'm
proving the road between Juliaetta
and Kendrick, so that it seems this
project has been discussed for the
past fifteen years nothing
done yet. So far as we have been
able to ascertain, paving was not
brought up before the board so that
much anguish was saved the city
fathers in the old days.

country road you would cuss the
farmers for not making better
roads. But here in town you can t
even have the pleasure of cussing

The man who buys Liberty Bonds
without any particular thought as
to the amount of income they will
return to him in the way of inter-
esi, is a patriot at heart. 1t isn't
the right spirit these days to lay
too much stress on Liberty Bonds
as an investment. They should be
bought not as an investment but
with the idea Of helping America
win the war. If the bonds bore no
interest whatever we should buy
just as literally as our financial
circumstances might allow.

THIRTY DAY CREDIT

Contrary to the usual custom of
being the first to inaugurate some
thing new, the Kendrick business
men, in adopting the thirty-day
credit system, have only fallen in
line with the other progressive
towns in the surrounding country.
The plan has proven so universally
successful that both merchants and
customers greatly favor the idea
after a trial period. 1t is a war
time necessity and is strongly advo-
Gated by the government as it keeps
the financial condition of the coun-
try on a thrifty basis.
Heretofore the merchant has been
forced to extend credit, sometimes
to the extent of a years time, bor-
rowing money at the bank at ten
percent interest in order to handle
the account. The thirty day credit
system reverses the condition. If
the customer wishes longtime
credit he can get it by giving a
bankable note at ten percent inter-
est. He pays the ten percent inter-
est for the accommodation he gets,
which is nothing more than just.
If he is not in shape to give bank
able note he isn't fair risk for the
merchant. If he can give bank
able note he is perfectly able to as
sumo the interest on his credit ac-
count and in this manner give the
merchant chance to know how he
stands at the end of each month.
Under the new system the banks
will become more potent factor
| in assisting both the merchant and
the customer. If your credit is
good at the bank it is good at the
| store. This is as it should be and
is good system to follow in times
Of peace as we'll as in war times.
No reasonable man can possibly
find fault with the new plan adopt
ed. 1t is so entirely plausible and
fair that the only wonder is it
wasn't put into practice years ago.
It will enable the merchants to cut
prices considerably and will make
it an easy matter for the merchant
using the new system to undersell
his competitor who still sells goods
on the long time credit plan and
makes his good customers pay for
! the bad account on his books.
The change will not work a hard.
ship on anyone. Your merchant
will look after your interests if
you go to him and talk the matter
over. only your relations will be on
| more businesslike basis and will
result in much satisfaction for all.
The thing for US all to do now,
is fall in line with the new system,
help in every way to put it on q
good working basis and at the end
of a years trial, pronounce it the
best ever.
The Kendrick gazette., 1918-04-19

The proper spirit to show now is
not to see how little you can invest
in Liberty bonds and still get by
the censor, but to endeavor to make
your income stretch enough to pur-
chase all the bonds it will, without
causing YOU serious Inconvenience.
There are still many who have not

Private Hopkins Explains.

Soldiers of General Pershing's
expeditionary force who UNDER
sigredly raised rumors that the
American Red Cross-or it's rep
resentatives had been selling
sweaters and other articles to the
soldiers, are hastening to correct
the false impression. A careful
investigation made by the Red
Cross clearly establishes the fact
that there is no basis for any
such charge.
A cablegram states that Lieu
tenant H. A. Deesback, Of the
10th Infantry, American Expedi-
tionary Force, has obtained the
following signed copy of a letter
from Oscar B. Hopkins, Co. G.,
18th Infantry, to Mrs. Minerva
Allison, dated February, II, 1918:
II am writing line to correct
a statement regarding letter I
wrote on November IA, 1917, con-
cerning the Red Cross. In a
thoughtless moment I wrote that
the Red Cross charges two prices
for things they sell US; but as a
matter Of fact, have never known
them to sell anything to anyone.
l am indeed sorry my thoughtless.
ness caused this and l want you
to show this letter to any Of the
Red Cross workers and offer my
apologies"
Reports concerning the alleged
sale Of sweaters were contained in
letters written to relatives by
Private Emmett Murphy, of the
10th Field Artillery, and Private
Douglas A. Ferguson, of the 18th
Railway Engineers. Subsequent
ly Private Ferguson, voluntarily
gave a signed statement to the
effect that the references of his
letters were based purely on rum
or and his intent was that his Sis
ter should "take the hint" and
send a sweater direct to him.

clusion; 81 hope on the other side
everything will be done that can
