clamor for the homecoming of our
soldiers.

New York World: And now Now
Jersey, in suspending the telephone
rates ordered by Postmaster General
BurIeson, raises the issue that it has
some rights left which are not SUBJ
ject to federal authority.
Kansas City Star: The position Of
some senators seems to be that while
they care nothing for the 500, 000,-
900 necessary to feed Europe's hum
cry, they cannot surrender the prin-
ciple that no sum above $40 should
be intrusted to Mr.. Hoover.

keep up the price of wheat and the

900 out of the treasury to give work
to men who cannot otherwise face
the cost of living. Who pays?
Brooklyn Eagle: Public welfarers

legislation is to correct. Since so
many fond parents leave fortunes to
children who spend them in riotous
living, nobody is to be allowed to
leave fortunes to children. Same old

Who should pay for the food and clothing
Of unfortunates or detectives cared for in state
institutions when they have incomes of their
own or come from weil-to-do families, morally
obligated to provide for theml
Should the ample property Of an insane per-
son be held for his board and keep in a state
hospital or should the taxpayers foot the bills
while the estate is divided among benehciaries
with no special claim9
Should man with good income be com
pletely freed of all liability for maintenance of
wife or child who happens to become insane, for
example, who if normal would be supported at
home or in school as a matter of coursel
In 3 word, should well-to-do persons or
families be responsible for their own personal
keep or shift the burden onto the state-shall
we have ndividualism or socialism as the I'M
DERIVING principle of our state institutions?
This is the crucial point in the measure
fathered by an avowed socialist member of the
legislature to take away the states authority to
collect for maintenance of wards in state insti-
tutons from the estates or relatives otherwise
responsible and to reverse the long-established
policy in this and nearly every other state in
the union In its advocacy, the specious plea
is put forth that to require a showing of inabil-
ity to pay would be humiliation that should
not be put upon relatives or guardians, and
further that these people already pay their
shares toward this expense when they pay their
taxes and would therefore be paying twice.
But there is no humiliation in the truth and
those who are unable to pay for their de-
pendents probably pay no taxes. Again thou
sands pay taxes who derive no direct benefit
from these state institutions and to throw upon
the taxpayers an additional burden sure to
mount into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in order to exempt those who by rights
should pay, means piling it higher and higher
on the ordinary taxpayer, who surely has big
enough tax load to carry now.
What seems to US the proper policy-and 1t
is the policy urged by the Board of Control
which has studied the subject ciosely-is that
the general expenses Of providing and main
tanning the states hospitals and asylums and
furnishing the guards and nurses and medical
or other expert attendance, is properly charge
on the public as a whole, but that the cost of
the food and clothing of the inmates, what they
would eat and wear were they at home, should
