The Rule OF Ineffiiciiencv

| In recent years the people of the United States
nave witnessed practical test of the much landed
system Oh governmental management of bushes affairs
Starting with the claim that the people were being rob-
oed Tor the benefit Of the capitalists who controlled tho
business of the nation, there gradually established
Puohc sentiment IN favor of governmental regulation
control and interference with activities that had hitherto
been considered to be strictly within the scope of nd
'dua initiative and management Sociaistc principles
grew rapidly in popular favor and the climax came in
the war period when emergencies provoked and i'll
large justified very dose control of all bust
ness by the government
Closely allied with this popular sent ment in favor
of government in business there as been an inclination
toward methods of taxation which require intimate
knowledge of business details ty pubic officials and
that make possible official that are most effectively
a governmental control of hu.1ess
The theory lying under all these activities has
been that the public interests would be better served
and protected in these ways than they wee under the
more indvidualstc and less socalistc arrangements
of the past
This theory has not been justified by experience It
is true, undoubtedly that the people were robbed to
some extent under the old system But it is also true
that under governmental control there is essened eff
cheney in operation, and increased cost of govern
ment, which together much than equal a0 saving
One important reason why the movement in favor
of governmental control of business has had such
rapid advance is that the Democratic party which was
additionally the party of weak government, individual
Ism, and personal liberty under tn, control of
leaders who extremists promoting pate-nal and
socialistic schemes of government Had the federal
government from 1912 to 1920 been in the hands Of
Democrats of the old school, it certain that the rea-
tons of that government to American business would
have been different from what he's actually been And
il is also true that, aho the Republican party has been
the party of strong government if that party bad
IN power during that critical period it would not have
gone to such extremes reached by President
Wilson and his radical advisers.
At the present time the nation whole approves
tle Harding policy of getting the government out of
business but there is still too much of the old feeling
that politicians business for the benefit of the
people, better than business business for
the benefit of their stockholders This feeling
~ promoted and supported by soc,lisc theorists, by
machine politicians and those who profit by machine
politics and by increasing of bureaucrats
offceholders and office seekers whose neffciency il
promoted and whose inoompeency is protected by
called civil service reform
The artful propaganda of these interested classes
will be offset by the stern arguments of experience.
More and the people will learn that the nation has
gone far in the direction of governmental control

They established wholesale slaughter of peaceful

According to astrology the Sun and
Neptune are in benefic aspect today,
while Uranus is adverse
1t is rule under which to push all
important matters especially those
that depend upon the approval of per-
sons in high place.
Diplomacy should benefit greatly
by this direction of the stars which
impart foresight and tact.
One of the signs is read as indicat-
ing that some great national policy
will be misinterpreted and misunder-
stood owing to the sinister sway Of
Uranus.
Men in authority. whether it be the
President or lesser officials, should
benefit from this planetary rule,
which gives decision and. clear vision.
Uranus is in an aspect in which 1t
is held persons like to believe the
worst of their fellow men and women
and so scandals will continue to flour
ish through the summer.
Divorces will multiply in the au-
tumn when there will be a determined
campaign to protect the institution of
marriage.
One OF the encouraging signs, ac-
cording to the seers is decline in the
power Of thought that encourages boil
shevism or anarchy.
All the aspects seem to indicate
reactionary influences that will re-
store the best world ideals.
Religious dissensions will be many,
but they will bring the various sects
into better understanding, 1t Is pro-
phesied.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the forecast of successful year, but
travel may not be fortunate. Those
who are employed will be promoted.
Children born on this day will be
fortunate in employment. but should
not try independent YER .Gres. These
