REMEDY IN YOUR HANDS

l have been asked many times, and
particularly since this series began :
"What Is the remedy for the condition
and situation of government business
that you have described? What can
we, the average man or woman with
cut Influence, and with no knowledge
OF politics, what can we do about 1t
Well. the answer is that you can do
everything about it. The remedy lies
wholly within your own hands, as l
have tried to point out In each one
of the articles that have preceded
this one. 1t is remedy easy to pre-
scribe but, l confess difficult to put
into effect.
Difficult, / mean, in the sense that
you will have to give up time from
your own engrossing private affairs to
pay some attention to what you prob
ably think Of as public affairs and, as
such, not concerning you. The whole
point I have to make Is that public
affairs are your affairs.

gcst that You take an interest, a direct
personal interest, In the business Of
government as distinguished from the
politics Of government.
A part of the remedy you ask for
the conduct of the business of govern
ment has been applied when the facts
and the conditions are spread broad
cast and made known to every tag
rayer. Bad conditions are in a way
to be remedied when they become
known.
But some hundreds of you have
written me and asked: "How can we

Congress has committed itself to the
policy Of building twenty first-class

the national government.
Indirect taxation is the most Sc
ductive form of raising public rev.
enue. You never came in contact with
the federal government except when you
bought postage stamp. But now you
know it every time you buy drink at
O soda fountain, or bottle of medi-
cine, or sand telegram, or make a
long distance telephone call, or per-
form any one OF a score of other nor
NAL activities of daily life. Some
thing must be put in the kitty for the
government. Its annual rakeoff runs
into the billions. You pay it and the
government spends it.
But all that part Of the party is
about over now. The oysters have
been eaten and put in the bill. They
must be paid for 1t is perfectly clear
that in the future by far the greater
part Of the revenue required for con-
Quoting the public business must come
from direct taxes. 1t is also clear
that the ordinary expenses for run
ming the government will in future
probably exceed four billion dollars a
year. That is lot of money to take
out of your pockets, and mine. Hadn't
we better see what is done with it, and
whether we cen save any of it? Con-

Red Cross Water
First Aid Makes
Life-Saving Gain

More than 325 Chapters engaged In
life saving or water first aid last year
with the result that the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps has set new
high mark for enrolment and the
number of qualified life savers de-
veloped. The influence of learn to
sw i'm week. in many localities Is re-
ducing the water fatalities through in
structlon and the wider dissemination
of resuscitation methods demonstrated
by the Red Cross representatives. Ex-
cellent work has been done in teaching
large part Of the American popula-
ton how to take care of itself in the
water. Growing appreciation for this
Red Cross Life-Savlng Service Is
shown by the compulsory instruction
adopted in many cities for members Of
the police and fire departments in.the
prone pressure method of resuscita-
ton.
