over the back fence or by condemning every man
who is elected to office, instead of going to the
polls to elect their choice they ought to be salts
fled with the results.
The lack of interest in politics is fraught
with more danger than most of US imagine it to
be. Last Tuesdays election proves the point.
Fifty per cent of the voters made the decision
for the whole city.
Did not the absent so per cent have just as
much at stake as did those who voted? Are
they not affected by good or bad city govern
ment? Do they not pay taxes receive police and
fire protection? Do they not share in the veal
or woe of the city?
Assuredly the future course of our city gov
eminent concerns them just as much as it does
the so per cent who voted. They refrained from
going to the polls because they lacked interest
in their city and its welfare.
And yet, if movement were started to dis
franchise this so per cent so as to prevent them
from ever voting again, they would yell Justify
against the suggestion. They want the right to
VOTE but they do not want to assume the respon-
sibility of exercising that right.
What an inconsistency!

Lack of Interest in Politics

The indifference of voters to political and
civic problems is proverbial. We had an excel
lent example of this apathy at the election Tues
day when only about so per cent of the voters
went to the polls to register their decision on a
highly important matter.
The government of their city, with all that is
involved therein, the issue, and yet there
was palpably plain lack of interest.
Men and women do not need to be urged to
go to a dance or place of amusement. No
special inducement is necessary to impel man
to work. 1t takes little persuasion to enlist the
interest of woman in club activities. But it
does require a tremendous amount of coaxing
and pleading to get them to perform the civic
duty of voting.
The question of home rule has been before
the public for almost six months. The move
ment leading to the introduction of bill in the
general assembly began last November. From
that time on until the election the topic received
general discussion and comment.
1t was reasonable to expect that every quail
fled voter of the city would have gone to the
polls Tuesday.
This dsinterested attitude of the voters ac-
counts for the occasional breakdown of govern
mental machinery. Our own city administration
would have been functioning with precision if
the voters had devoted to civic affairs modicum
of the time and attention which they give, for
instance to sports and social activities.
The federal system of municipal government
provided under the Indiana law, is an excellent
one. capable of performing the functions of leg
islation and administration, and safeguarding the
peoples rights and interests with an admirable
set of checks and balances.
When it begins to work badly, the fault US
ually can be traced to the citizens who have
ceased to take constructive interest in its opera
ton. Condemnation and vituperation avail moth
ing at such d time. What is needed sorely is Il
re-awakening of popular interest in municipal
affairs.
Capable officers can be elected to office under
this system, if the voters, forgetting the narrow
party lines vote for the capable man, irrespective
of,the political badge which he wears on the lapel
of his coat. Let the citizens vote for the man,
and not for his party, and they can easily provide
themselves with an efficient municipal admins
tration. Provided Of course, that they go to the
polls.
If so per cent of them persist in exercising

Beware of Fraudulent Enterprises

1T is estimated from late figures that less
that A per cent of the inhabitants of the
United States are on farms" says Huston
Thompson, chairman of the federal trade COM
mission
Savings and investments are commended to
all who can earn living and save small pro-
portion against rainy day. Yet investigation
has established that larger amount of the saw
ings of rural communities throughout the United
States are invested in fraudulent enterprises and
wildcat schemes which lure the uniformed in
vestor by promise of large and quick returns.
"An alarming consequence of this situation
grows out of its tendency to retard the back-to-
the-farm movement and to obstruct the transi-
ton from farm tenantcy to farm ownership.
Savings which would in due course of time
make an independent farmer out of farmland
or tenant are thus wiped out as by blight. With
one blow the results of thrift and the goal of
hope and ambition are shattered
Mr.. Thompson points out the difficulty in ap-
pretending fraudulent promoters and declares
that the old common law ruling, "let the buyer
beware cannot be applied effectively to check
these frauds.
An immediate defense against investment
loss exists for every American citizen, whether
he be city dweller or a farmer, through the
purchase Of government savings securities.
Those issues will not only protect the saver
against loss. but will hold his money ready for
use at need and pay regular and satisfactory
profit.
