CITIZEN HEAD OF

Justice Thompson Addresses Ro
tarians Upon Shifting Basis Of
National Rule.

Dangers Of experiment in funda-
mentals Of governmental rules and
plea to check tendencies toward
"unrestrained centralized govern
|ment" were made by Justice Floyd
E. Thompson in an address today
before the Moline Rotarians.
I'm the last few years we have
seen governments crumble and fall
and new governments rise in their
Places" he said. He is indeed
brave who declares himself salts
fled with the present condition of
world affairs and he is a confident
man who processes to understand
these new world problems. No one
is prepared to say that the present
tendencies in government are alto
gether bad, but there are some ten
denotes which any man with a
knowledge Of history must shuddeE
to contemplate. Tho very founda-
tons Of government are changing.
1.-THE tendency is to siexe upon
anything that is new simply be-
cause it is new and not because il

the old.
Small communities like cities OF
even large communities like states
may experiment with new things in
government and not threaten the
continuance Of the national govern
ment, because the governments Of
the neighboring cities or sister
states that still rest on the proven
foundations will stabilize the ex-
| perimenting governments until they
can get hack on their test. On the
other hand. when the national gov
lernment experiments with some
thing new and unproven it is tread-
ling on dangerous ground because
the .stabilixing influence of the old
principles is>gone. II was for this
