MONEY AND THE, PRESS
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

The real question is not whether the mon
ey power owns the press, The problem that
worries us is why does the money power not
go out and buy up the press.
When millionaire gets tangled up in
murder case he doesn't seem to be able to
keep his name out of the papers.
When trust starts out to buy up every
thing and everybody in a certain industry
the newspapers publish the fact.
These gentlemen would purchase ard
drown dog that bayed under their window,
and would bride ain obs$reperous organ
grinder SO that he would not play before
their house, and would see that an indiscreet
parson was removed; therefore, why do they
not go out and purchase the newspapers and
magazines?
What hinders the banking trust and the
other interlocking trusts from quietly getting
their hands on all avenues of publication?
Theer is a screw loose somewhere.
And the trouble is that the newspaper
and the magazine of wide circulation is and
will remain automatically democratic Those
publications depend upon the good will of
the multitude.
And in the end the multitude is about as
shpeWd as the publicity agent for corpora
ton.
In other words you fool some of the
people all of the time and you can fool all
OF the people some OF the time but you can
not fool all of the people all Of the time.
1t is this law that makes and keeps any
great newspaper comparatively honest. No
other policy will pay in the long run
1t is quite the custom to abuse the press,
to declare that it is bought and to refer to it
as capltalisttc. AS a matter -of fact, these
charges have a specious sound, but they are
inherently absurd.
The fnancier can easily acquire control
Of most kinds of business. Bankers get hold
of railroads, wooden factories, copper mines
and the like.
1t is common charge that the great i'm
dustries of the country are dominated by
few wealth units.
But the claim that groups of wealthy men
dominate the press, a claim vigorously main
tanned by Mr.. Upton Sinclair can hardly be
substantiated.
1t is easy enough to corner beef or wheat.
but it is not so easy to corner ideas or the
expression of them.

The Legislative Session:
1t Might Have Been Worse

IF Georgia legislature is to be known
by it's fruits the one that closed It's
regular session for 1922 in the sleepy
lap of Thursday morning last, comes dan
gerously near drawing the judgment proc
nounced on the barren fig tree. That 1t
yielded some measures of moment is not to
be denied. The Mann-Wingate bill, levying
three-cent gasoline tax for highway con-
struction, promises to produce some three
million dollars annually, which should go
far toward giving the state good roads. The
Miner bill, imposing a ten per cent tax on
sales of cigarettes and cigars, is expected
to provide upwards of two million dollars
for Confederate veterans pensions and for
sorely needed additions to the tuberculosis
the passage of the bill by Representative
Viola Ross Napier, of Bib, to safeguard
public schools against fire hazards. Crafty
ing too, was the emphatic rejection of a
proposal to restore the lash to convict
camps The entire state will profit by the
appropriation to institute school of cera-
mics at the Georgia Tech; and Fulton county
will be benefited by the establishment Of
an additional judgeship to relieve the con-
gestion of It's superior courts. Let us be
thankful for the least of these our blessings
We might have received nothing, albeit in
the course of the summers session bills were
introduced to the number of seven hundred
and forty-five
Surely, out of that multitude, one would
have thought, some measure of tax and
fiscal REFORM fundamental and urgent
need-would have been forthcoming On con.
structive legislation of this character waits
the progress of Georgia in the highest con-
Germs of her common life. Good schools can
not be provided for ever-increasing hosts of
children; adequate service can not be
rendered In matters of public health, nor
lected; the state will not catch it's stride,
the citizen will not receive his due until the
tax problem is solved-and solved Alright.
For years it has cried out for answer. Not
Governor in the last three decades but

not legislature in all that time but has
found 1t handicapping progressive impulse,
not an institution of the commonwealth but
has found itself 'stratened and retarded in
consequence. The one legislative step toward
a solution was the Tax Equalization law,
which, though obviously insufficient, at least
improved upon a system well described as
passing the hat" But "tax equalization"
fell so far short of larger needs and within
itself was so unsatisfactory in number of
quarters that the demand for comprehen-
siye, well-considered tax and fiscal system
became mperative-criticalIy imperative.

Where to Select Immigrants

T ToME from soiourn of month in
n Europe, spent in first-hand study of
Americas immigration problem at its
sources, Secretary Davis, of the department
convinced of the need of carefully selecting
the aliens to be admitted OF our shores, and
of selecting them before they sail hither.
This accords with view which The Jour
nal repeatedly has urged. The heartlessness
of a system under which children may Ne
sundered from parents and wives from hus-
ought to be humanized-not by making the
selective principle less forceful, but by MAX
ing it more reasonable. Consider the case
of an immigrant who came two years ago
and stood we'll all admission tests. He has
worked hard, has saved frugally, has learned
to speak and read our language, has proved
his desire and his capacity to become true
American. He sends for his wife and two
little children, far away in northern Europe
money for which he toiled, and at length
arrive, their hearts high with expectation
But upon reaching port they are told that
their countrys monthly quota was exhaust
ed just the day before. Back they must CO.
Notwithstanding that 1t would be far better
for all interests, ours no less than theirs, to
TT
be better worker, better citizen for hay
ing his home ties and heart ties here. More
over, as every Scot will appreciate, his saw
ings would remain on our side of the
counter, instead of going abroad Good
sense, as we'll as human kindness, demands
that the present law in this respect be
altered.
Much anguish can be averted by deter
mining before instead of after the long voy-
Secretary Davis points out, selection at the
points of departure will mean that "immt-
grants will come to us in steady flow,
rather than with the spectacle we now have
of racing and rushing ships, and the watch
ing of the clock to see who will be lucky
enough to get in first -, Our consuls
now have no power to refuse visas. I am
in favor of giving them that power, and hay
ing all inspection work done under then
supervision"
That scrupulous selection is needfuI no
one having the nations veal at heart will
deny. The quota law, for all it's crudties is
a bulwark without which the country would
be oyerswept by most dangerous alien tides
Some of the representatives of European
governments" says Secretary Davis, were
frank enough to tell us that they were inter
ested only in giving us their old men and
rubbish" The secretary rightly urges the
Importance of working out a selective sys-
tenn so that 1--WE can encourage the coming
of those who are in sympathy with Ameri-
can ideals, American ways and institutions
those who would BE easily assimiIated into
American life and that I'VE will be able
to keep out those hostile TO these principles !"
The soundness of these views are so OBJ
yious that Congress should lose no time in
translating them into lava law that will
relieve the present system of it's stupidities
and cruelties and that will make the prin-
cipe Of selection more fruitful of good

WE ARE GENERALLY WRONG

There is always more or less criti-
eism Of the world and its ways.
Many attempts have been made to re-
construct the manners and the way
Of the world. but in the final analysis
it is usually found that the world is
right. There are people who can see
nothing but evil in the world, and at
tempt to correct it according to their
own ideas; yet after battling against
an immovable obstruction have been
forced to admit the world was right
after all. We all have our own ideas
about conditions; we all have our lit
tie pet hobbies as to how the world
should be conducted, but the longer
we live and the more we learn the
moro the convincing fact is driven
home that no matter how the thing
lsoks % the face Of it, the old world
is right and it is we who are gener-
ally wrong.

The Cooperation Commission of
Arizona has issued instructions that
all motor vehicles operated for
compensation must stop At every rail-
way crossing not protected by gates
or fiagmen. The stop must be made
not closer than fifty teet of the
nearest rail nor more than seventy
five feet. The motorist is then re-
quired to look both ways, and shall
not start his vehicle until satisfied
there are no trains approaching from
either direction. This rule would
seem good one to apply to all motor
driven vehicles in every city, county
