Editorial Comment

(Kessinger's Midwest Review


Calvin Coolidge has made our country good
president
His record for economy, thrift, debt retirement
and tax reduction is Of the best in the history
of the Republic.
But his failure to grasp the fundamentals of the
American farm problem, and the widespread dis
satisfaction among middle western, northwestern
and western farmers would be q serious handicap
to his campaign for so-called third term.
Grant and Roosevelt could not make the third
term" and it might be hard for Coolidge.
It is only fair to say that Roosevelt served almost
all If four-year term upon McKinley's assassina-
ton, and that Coolidge only served about a year
upon Harding's death. Yet, in q way, it would be =
third term. and this argument, while net much CT
an argument, would be used against him.
Undoubtedly the president could force his renom-
nation at the next Republican convention.
Coolidge is MT unpopular as Taft was in 1912.
and Lowden, the principal candidate at this time.
is not strong as Theodore Roosevelt, although
Lowden's popularity among farmers will surprise
the city resident who hears little direct from the
people, who still make up third Of the population
# our United States.
Unless the president does something to regain his
former strength in the middle west, the farmers
revolt would seriously cndangcr the Republican
party in 1928.
The big cities of the country are usually more or
less Democratic: the rural sections of New York,
Illinois, Ohio and Indiana have been strongly Re-
publican.
Then, in presidential election, this must be re-
mcmbered that it is the electoral vote rather than
the popular majority that determines the presiden-
tal winner and that the farmers hold the balance Of
power in enough states like Illinois, Iowa. Ohio In
diana, Nebraska, North Dakota South Dakota. Wis
consn, etc., to name the president.
If the Democratic feud continues between Al
Smith. the most magnetic leader Of Democracy. and
William G. McAdoo, the successor to Wilson's lead
ership, then Coolidge might win regardless Of his
present weakness in the west and middle west
But Democrat like Jim" Feed of Missouri, E.
T. Meredith of Iowa. Governor Richie Of Mary.
land would have mighty good chance to win
against Coolidge, unless the president does some.
thing to win the farmers back to his fold.
Today. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois is the strong
est candidate, with Vice President Dawes close
second. and Speaker Nicholas Longworth, the clever
husband of the brilliant Alice Roosevelt a near
third.
1t is rumored that if Coolidge forces cannot win
they will back Herbert Hoover, but Hoover is more
unpopular among the farmers than the president.
Many things happen before 1928, and one Of
them may be change in economic conditions that
will make the farmers feel differently.

An Oil Survey


As it becomes more and more apparent that our
oil resources extremely limited and that our
use of petroleum is increasing by leaps and bounds.
it becomes increasingly evident that something
should be done about it.
:, And, as Is usual when this situation obtains many
persons have come forward with various solutions
to 4be problem, some good perhaps. some bad, all
;of them plausible. Our problem is to find out
one Of the solutions will provide permanent
0daeea for our oil ills.

1t hand before beginning it, And that is what we
should do in this We should know, just as
accurately it is possible to determine. how much
reserve petroleum the world has under it's crust and
W must know the exact present consumption and
the scientifically estimated future consumption.
when we have these facts at hand we will know
how long our present supply will last and that will

MOthers' Aid Laws

The mother in the holnc cannot hc cxccllcd rs an
economist, the chldrcn's bureau Of the government
has asserted in a report on public aid To mothers
with dependent children Tome care is cheaper and
better, according t, the figures, than institutional
care
FOrty-twO states now have mothers pension laws
providing for aid to children in their own homes
and 10000 children receive such aid in these states
The total number of children who need such help
however, is probably close to 100000 100000
according to the bureau estimates
The extent with which available appropriations
meet the reed varies greatly from state to state
is indicated by difference in ratios Of children aided
TO general population New York, Nevada, Cali
fornia Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Montana Minne-
sofa, New Jersey, Delaware, Maine and North Da-
kota are ut the top Of the list, in the order named,
reporting aid given to more than 200 children per
100000 population.
South Dakota, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa,
Colorado, Connecticut, Michigan, Utah, New Hamp-
shire, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Arizona and Ohio re-
ported ratios Of from 100 t. 200 per 100000 popu
aton.
But in several states that have such laws no use
has been made of them and there are six states that
have no such statutes and this, it would SEEM ind-
Gates lack Of appreciation Of the splendid work
this mothers aid performs. In some Of the states
even an expectant mother is entitled to aid.
One favorable tendency is noted, and that is that
the am unit of aid allowed each child has tended to
increase to keep pace with modern economic condi-
tons. The mothers aid statutes arc we'll worth
enactng and making use Of after they enacted.

Paw Roll Bandits

The era of banditry in which we find ourselves
today is distressing in the extreme We seem to
have suddenly reverted to the old frontier days
when bandit gangs shot up the stage coaches at
will and pilfered with impunity. Bandtry has in
deed become a lucrative profession in this country

sums from the bank to the factory the shop.
What can they expect but that bandits will take
advantage of this circumstance?
Just in the year ending October LIST, the estimate
of money stolen in pay roll robberies reached $4,-
100000 and in defending this amount of money
against the savage marauders 20 men met their
death and 40 others were seriously wounded
OF course, there is one cure-pay by check. Blu:
labor does not like to be paid by check. Labor in
sists that the crisp currency be given out at the
end of the week. not a check that needs to be car
ried to bank and cashed.
And why should the authorities blame the firms
for not paying by check when it is merely method
of shifting the blame for awless conditions from
their shoulders? For that is what it means. If
adequate measures were being taken against the
pay roll and ether bandits then factories and shops
could pay off in cash without fear
But the true situation is that the authorities have
failed dismally in preserving the peace and safety
Of our modern civilization. They have failed from
neglect and they have failed through corruption.
Let US place the blame for these pay roll robberies
squarely where it belongs, the shoulders of the
police, whose duty it is to preserve order that

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 3O.-Until a few
days ago her picture was still in the
lobby of Broadway theater.
There were two photos, in fact

The passing crowds, perhaps, did
not SO much as notice them, and
those who nudgcd elbows in the
lobby space as they stood in line
at the ticket window gave them,
NJ doubt, only the most casual
glance.
And therein lies the irony and
the tragedy Of this particular
story.

The Increase of Wealth

Not 81 MANY wears ago it was an unusual thing
for d man to be millionaire TO have amassed
over million dollars the unusual thing and
certainly, in those days there were few persons
who would have been brash enough TO predict that
some day there would no, only be plenty of million
aires in the United States but that there would be
Is men who would be paying taxes incomes
of over a million dollars a year. How many
there are with actual income Of over Million
but who have been clever enough to pay tax
smaller amount of money. c of course matter of
conjecture.
The figures Of the treasury department show
that the possessors of these incomes paid
ID the &c vcrnment in taxes in 1924 the Of SAT-
POT 2O3 on their incomes alone. Thus that
possessors of wealth forced to bear proper
tionately greater burden in the upkeep of the gov
eminent than does the poor, or middle class man.
The fact that a possesses wealth should not
be the cause of hatred on the part of poorer per-
sons. Being wealthy is not care-free occupation.
Large taxes are exacted from wealthy persons.
Furthermore, most Of these wealthy men started a
few years ago with nothing and their financial sue
cess should be an inspiration to- every poor man. If
they could start with nothing and amass wealth,
then the conditions in this country must be con-
ducve to such and consequently all we have
to do is to reach out and grasp the opportunities
that appear day by day.
