PANACEAS THAT DO NOT PAN
Nv CIV Flenncr


A minister in a strange city asked
a street urchin to direct him to the
postoffice, stating he had lost his
way. The boy Obliged the preacher,
who, grateful for the guidance, hand
ed him a ticket to his Forthcoming
lecture on THE Way to Heaven
and urged him to be present. The
lad replied with whitening scorn:
NIX! guy who can't tell de way
to postoffice would have hell of a
time shown people how to get to
heaven"
The story may be illustrative OF

propose some plan that would bene

there, rendered most difficult the ex-
ecution of any practical plan.
But we do not have to go to
Europe to see the effects of ill-con-
sidered solutions" At home we
have heard of them Tor a long time
and witnessed their futility. In 1886
the salvation of this country de-
pended upon free silver, we were
told. Politicians jumped at ZIG to
1" as the only remedy. We shudder
when we think OF the consequences
to this country, in the light of the
experience of some others, had that
nostrun been accepted. Fiat money
has been often proposed, when things
did not go just right and the politi-
clans rushed to weekend visit
with the prevailing problems. The
fiaters are now discredited, but they
tried hard to give us their dope.
Today there are grave problems
pressing and we witness the same
jumping jack attempts. The vital
problems of transportation and of
marketing are damned into hasty
puddings and the answers are almost
as numerous as there are candidates
for office.
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1923-12-20

The transportation act with small
chance as yet to bring 1t into eff
fective operation because of the in
PREVENTION of the war and the sue
ceeding deflation process, is to be
torn to pieces if some of the
political doctors have their way.
And these same men advocated its
mos1 ESSENTIAL provisions ass the
then only remedy. Who will under
take to forecast that their present
medicine will be even as effective
as that they mixed before?
Sound practice would dictate that
any plan affecting our transporta-
ton, system interviewer immovably
into the fabric of, national life
should be given the fullest chance
for demonstration before being
shredded to meet tn exigencies of
politics.
No plan may be perfect from the
outset. None either, may be indefin-
itely adhered to in its entire original
form. But it should oe gradually
strengthened in its weak spots in
stead of being torn to bits on long
chance that the public might, in a
period of abstraction ana unrest, fall
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1923-12-20

for some revolutionary proceeding.
1t is still true that we might bet
er bear ills we have than 10 fly aim
lessly to those we know not of; and
especially when improvements here
and there are more possible of re-
lief than to knock the whole struc-
ture to bits and experiment with an
other novelty.
The greatest care, the best bust
ness judgment, should De exercised in
consideration of the marketing prob
lem, concerning which we find flocks
of politicians rendering guarantees
that their way, and theirs alone, will
do the businessmen who have
jumped from one thing to another
during their entire careers without
having notably improved the condi-
lions of the public.
Common sense and practical BUSH
ness knowledge are more essential to
these solutions than the haphazard
judgment of vote seekers.
When the old time placer miner
found no merit in the dirt he
pressed on.
Today there are too many pam
aceas than do not pan.
