A PERNICICUS POLICY.

1t has remained for Senator McCunber, of
North Dakota to put most strIklngly and in
the fewcst words the pTinci pal among the
causes of our nationwide unrest. The American
people, he says, are victims of policy Of sur
rendering the interests of the unorganized and
ineffective many to subserye the demands Of
the organized and effective few. Or, in other
words they are victims Of the new system Of
purchasing political support by enacting purely
class legislation.
That this state Of affairs exists is undeniable;
nor can it be gainsaid that to it much of our
tax burdens and very much Of our popular dis
content are due. Scores Of enactments in the
last few years have been class grabs for power
or money pressed by groups which would not
take no for an answer but threatened to oppose
at the polls any legislator who rested their de-
mand. Servilc to such threats, congress and
legislatures have time and again sacrificed the
interests Of the people as a whole and of classes
which were not organized to protect or secure
their rights. What group has Of late got any
thing at Washington unless it went there and
threatened and fought? Every project for
class aggrandizcmcnt has its lobbyists attor-
news representatives at the national caDtal
But who represents the people a whole and
what do they get but increased taxes-burdens
laid on them to Tighten those of some self-seek
ing group class?
Nor is it alone the material interests of the
people as a whole which are sacrifced Princi-
piles are sacrificed by complaisant or buldozed
lawmakers The natural rights Of citizens are

SILVER.
prosperity

Oriental nations having apparently stocked
up with silver the price of the metal has fallen
from one dollar and thirty-seven cents an ounce
four months ago to one dollar and one cent an
ounce; and the federal treasury will begin to
buy it at one dollar an ounce and mint silver
dollars and subsidiary coins There is no just
as-good substitute for silver for fractional cur
rsncy above the value of five cents. It is prac-
tically non-oxydizable, sufficiently hard. and
there is little profit in counterfeiting in a metal
whose weight value equals the face value Of the
coins. Silver coins of less than dime in value
would be inconveniently small; and for over a
dollar in value would be burdensomely bulky
and weighty. An eagle in silver would weigh
ten ounces, and unless it were very thick would
be something like a saucer in size

It is rather curious that the man who has
pondered longest and written most about the

had. Our great presidents accepted our insti-

A senate committee is to investigate the hous-
ing situation Of the country. Just what good
this will do is not apparent. If it simply means
that this committee will receive and put into
concise shape the information at hand; that it
will serve as a government agent to compile in
formation as to conditions and suggestions as to
what can be DONE it may serve a useful purpose.
But if the congress as a committee of the whole
would get at the business of reducing taxes, Of
settling transport problems, of getting the gov
ernment out Of interference with business and
paving the way to reasonable costs, building
costs among these, it would aid the housing sit
uation far more than by investigating it.

Editor the Missourian: have no

attacks on the proposed bonus bill
which the House Of Representatives
recently passed. The attacks were
based on what might happen If the
bill was passed. I refer you to the
Issue Of the American Legion Week.

what is happening because the bill is
not passed.
"A California newspaper recites
briefly the story of a soldier boy who,
discharged seriously disabled from
the army in July, 1919. has spent al
most year in correspondence with
various government agencies, get
ting many promises that his claim
would be allowed but never and fl
nancial assistance. The newspaper
story laconically ends.
"He has received no funds to date,
although without the money for the
necessaries of life. Yesterday he
collapsed at Eighteenth and Wood
streets. Passersby summoned an
ambulance and he was taken uncon-
,scious to the county hospital"
"N0t a pretty paragraph to appear
in print in the richest country in the
world"
No, it is not pretty paragraph. Is
this not sufficient Justification for the
American Legion to demand assistance
for the ex-service man from Con-
gress? This case is only one of
thousands. All they get is promises
and praise Of their deeds in the war.
Promises, praise and honor does not

war in a businesslike manner. We
are now asking for our pay. Did we
earn the money?

THE SYMPTOM MEANS:

Columbia has been confronted in
the gambling game revelations with
symptom which must tell the citizens
that all is not quite we'll in the city.
Now may be the time for the awak-
ening of a greater civic consciousness
and the acceptance of responsibility
by the city both for present conditions
and for their eradication or improve
ment. Columbia may be ready to ac-
cept the truth that city is RESPONSE
BILE, and through the city its citizens,
for every committed or omitted act
within its limits.
The City Council might well ap-
point a committee to investigate liv-
ing and social conditions in Columbia
and 10 draw up a long-term plan to
be administered for the bettering Of
Columbia for everyone who lives
herein.
In its investigations the committee
should not confine itself to the neigh
borhoods out along East Broadway,
nor on rhilly avenue nor on Provi-
dence road or on College avenue.
where automobiles are frequent and
the children have their own green
yards to play in while their mothers
use 1920 home conveniences and lux
uries. The investigation committee
should spend most of its time in other
parts of the city, the parts of the city
where are rented buildings, where
streets are narrow, dusty and often
unpaved, where children have neither
big yards to play in nor many things
to play with and where the house
wife spends the husbands payroll in
her mind before he draws it on Sat-
urday. The committee should get
some facts about the Columbians to
whom recreation means a scant hour
and a half at a movie once or twice
week at the most.
This investigation and the action
resulting .therefrom, the possible es-
tablishment of a city department of
public parks and Fairgrounds having
charge of all municipal recreational
facilities, should not be termed
house-cleaning. House-cleaning sounds
too spasmodic and condemnatory.
II Columbia is to be made q better
city it should be made better for all
and for keeps.
Right now, in the summer of 1920,
may be the best time to improve Co
lunbia where it is necessary and re-
model it where it is necessary.
What have its citizens to say?
