The Paradoxical MIR. Lasker

With the retirement from the United States Shipping Board
Ct Albert ID. Lasker June LIST, the nation will enter upon another
experiment. in its effort to solve the b~ewildering problem of a
Ierchant marine.
Nh. Lasker succeeded Rear Admiral Benson, swept his policies
to the four winds and set sail for the port Of popularity with as
1lr a breeze as ever carried a mariner into sharbor. That he
fzzled out, is largely due to the fact that he failed to follow his
own expressed convictions. Lasker knew nothing of ships when
he took hold of the shipping board, he knew nothing of the ship
ping problem. The chances are he knows little more today.
Nevertheless, Benson, who had made a life study of our water
commerce, was compelled to sit by and see the great dream of
an American merchant marine crumble and wither before the
new business administration.
The plan now is to get rid of our ships and to junk those that
can be sold, thus clearing the seas for privately owned vessels.
Perhaps %hurrying the retirement of Lasker will bring new life
into the thought of putting the American flag back on the seas.
1t is admitted an American merchant marine never can be
brought into being without the intelligent support of the farmer
and the folk in the inland towns and villages who do not sense
what water traffic means to the prosperity and indeed to the
safety of America. Admiral Benson had this plan Of %enlighten-
ment well under way. Lasker publicly approved of it, but hav-
ing done so he then proceeded forthwith to destroy it. Great
minds like providence move in a mysterious way their wonders
to perform.

Undermining Mans Responsibility

Governor Charles W. Bryan, of Nebraska, attracted national
attention when in his inaugural address he said: During the
past few years and especially during the late war period there
mas been a universal tendency towards an excess OF government.
This is resulting in the enactment of public laws for the cure
of private and personal ills that are bur4ening the state govern
ment with functions and obligations which will destroy the eff
fectiveness of governmental activities and also of individual
responsibility"
II this condition be true of the states, and there can be no
doubt 1t is true, what shall be said of such an evil when its opera
tiops are extended to the national congress. Perhaps the evil
Is most forcibly brought to public attention in considering the
question OF appropriations so fagrantly made IN defiance Of the
fundamental and just principle that one class or group shall
become the private beneficiary of appropriations made at the
expense Of the taxpayers. But more than this, the radical
tendencies daily becoming more evident in government circles,
disclosed as a fact by the members of both great parties, are
perslstently pressing the opportunist to foist on the nation laws
and governmental restrictions that are utterly destructive of
business expansion, but which provide an opportunity for a little
lag waving, that finds its reward in the applause of the unthink-
ing, II we don't look out we will soon be governmental to

Well planned fresafe construction
is of the greatest importance in the
building of a house, especially if it is
a farm house, because of the lack of
1re-ighting apparatus and the Difficult
ty of controlling a blaze once started.
! There are SO many fire risks pres
ent in barns, machine sheds and other
farm buildings and their inf1ammable
contents that it is essential that the
chance of fire should be reduced to a
minimum. This house, designed by
agricultural experts, represents the
best modern ideas in planning the
arrangement of the American farm

HOW TO REDUCE TAXES

barrel or government ownership Of

%tutional doctrines and practices are
increasing the taxes to the breaking
point.
The continued excessive tax bur-
dehs can be traced to certain
abuses:
First: Extravagant, complicated
