the post office or running errands
and then outside of that spending his
time reading, and relying upon his
relatives or upon some lodge or
church or some municipal organiza-
ton for his livelihood Generally
speaking, men so afflicted all over the
! United States were not considered
capable of becoming producers. We
have now learned that blind men can
do very responsible pieces of work;
they may make furniture, brooms,
utensils of multitude of kinds; they
may learn to take dictation upon the
typewriter. The sphere of activity of
blind men and women is limited and
yetit is broad field and they now
have raised the question whether or
not it is field that belongs to the
government.
Children of our communities we
say are of interest to the state. The
afther who has five children but who
pays no taxes witnesses his children
he witnesses them pursue their
course through our state university.
The man who has no children but who
has property pays his taxes for the
education of the children of his neigh
bor We have come to the point where
we recognize the merit Of this system,
the wisdom of this course, because the
state is interested that the children
shall grow to be men and women
educated, trained in useful lines. If
this is a responsibility of the state,
why should it not be a responsibility
of the federal government, or of the
state, to look after the education and
the training Of men who may be in
capacitated through blindness? Ell
there were an unfortunately large
number of men mourning blindnss in
every community throughout the Uni
ted States-such number as to justi- |
fly the expenditure-the we might |
say it would be responsibility Of |
each particular community, just as Is |
the children of our country.
But Fortunately such is not the case.
Fortunately, men who are stricken
with blindness or with some other
disaster such as loss of limbs, are not
so numerous that communities can
best handle the problem; the problem

business is, you cannot purchas some
! thing for nothing and whatever new
function of government may be added,
to those that now exist in state or ma
ton it must be assumed there will be
added an expense to our people In
taxes collected by the agency per-
forming the function.
But after all, many of these ten
denotes toward government activities
are not tendncies that rest upon sor-
did basis; many are tendencies that
rest upon q wholesome basis such as
those that were relied upon when the
measure was pushed to final passage
providing for the rehabilitation OF
those engaged in civil life who might
therein suffer injuries.
What have tried to do in this dis
cussion is to indicate to you some OF
the tendencies in government, the
value of knowing what the tendencies
may be and in part for the purpose
of encouraging you to think along
what lines Of tendencies should be en-
couragd and what ones, If possible,
should be surpassed.
There is just one other thought that
would leave and that is this The
important thing in government,
whether we consider government as
applying to community life alone, or
whether we consider government of
county, municipality, state or nation,
-sto have that constant and abiding
interest in government that it was
should be the solemn
duty of every citizen of our country
when we broke away from tyranny,
when we said that the people can and
shall govern themselves.
