POLITICAL PARTIES

Most everyone who gives the matter a thought is impressed
with the development of party power in its relation to govern
ment, but very few are aware of the fact that the trainers of the
Constitution were almost unanimous in the belief that party poll
tics were entirely undesirable in the government they proposed.
They feared a majority rule through collision and 1t was their idea
to thoroughly check any tendency in that direction if possible.
Their failure is another example of the difficulty in foreseeing
the practical workings of an abstract theory. A modern instance
is the failure of the primary election law, a mistake more easily
corrected than the former.
1t is not yet proven, however, that party politics have been
an undesirable feature in Americas democracy. According to
the opinion of the deepest students of political economy, the
opposition of the party which happens to be in power is a neces-
sary health measure in order to keep the fins" up on their toes,
so to speak. Whatever intentions the trainers of the Constitu-
ton had in mind, the practical working out of the system appears
to demand two or more political parties in the field all the time.
Even the minority party works best for all concerned when it pos
sesses sufficient strength to make itself felt at all times.~
Party having gained such a hold on the growths and prob
lens of our government. it is easy to see that there is a real men
ace in the gaining of party control by groups of interests, for in
stance, the famous farm bloc" or the socalled money Inter
ests." The big problem is now how to check party power from over
reaching itself and destroying some of our most cherished insti-
buttons. That this problem is recognized by the present admin
istration is shown in the attitude of President Harding upon the
many important issues before congress. The struggle of many
small caHbre politicians to put over pet measures for vote-getting
purposes meets with but little sympathy from the broad-minded
statesmen who possess the real influence at Washington. AL
together too many of our representatives see nothing in any meas
ure put before congress except the possible effect it may have
upon his constituents in the coming election. This is not con-
fined to any one party, as they are all much alike in this regard.

ADJUSTED COMPENSATION

Probably not one in a hundred has a clear idea OF what con-
gress has done in the matter of the soldiers bonus, or adjusted
compensation" as the soldiers themselves prefer to call it. The
sticking point in the whole matter seems to be the method OF
raising the money to pay the ex-service men what most everyone
thinks is due them. Some sort of a bouns bill has passed the
house and is being worried through the senate, but few outside
of those directly interested have much idea of what the ex-sodler
is going to get out of it finally. 1t is quite probable that even IN
congressional circles there are but few who have an intelligent
idea of the pending measuree or their relative merit.
There is a possibility that the issue itself has become more
political than financial, although the latter phase is difficult
enough to be confusing to the average citizen. Promoters OF the
various measures are trying to find out how to raise billions OF
real money without causing acute pain to the taxpayers, and they
have surely got a job ahead of them. 1t is just like all other tax
ation-it makes no difference where the money comes from in
the first place, the consumer pays the bill in the end The prob
lem is to make the operation painless, a method that would give
immunity from reprisals at the hands OF the voters IN the COM
ing election. Hence the supreme struggle to find a roundabout
way of doing it. The crude scheme of Senator Laid OF North
Dakota is about what might be expected of a state that gave nom
partisan theories a practical and expensive trial but at that, it is
not much worse than the others that have been proposed. Sen
ator Laid would issue billions of treasury notes and pass them out
to the soldiers and then have them redeemed during a term OF
years by taxing the banks on their profit in excess OF IL per cent,
and in case that doesn't yield sufficient, let the federal treasury
find the balance. Nothing to it, apparently, only it probably
wouldn't work. 1t is very similar to all the other schemes for
shifting the taxes onto those who are supposed to be able to pay.
1t can't be done.
No matter on whom the taxes are levied all the people have
The only real reduction in taxes will come when the problem of
economy in government is solved and put into practice, beginning
with the school districts, towns, cities, counties, states and ending
at the national capitol. The finding of the money to make good
our promises to the ex-sodier is a minor matter and easily solved
in comparison.
