POLITICAL INDIFFERENCE
New York Timesl

United States Attorney futile, like many other
citizens and some organizations for inducing more vet
ers to vote, is much concerned about "the waning
popular interest in politics" ard indifference to poll
tics" Wherever politics is corrupt. he says, 1T is
so because the forces of corruption count upon the in
difference of the average citizen" That is too wide
a statement. In the notorious instances of successful
machine politics, with strong suspicion OF corruption,
ths case Is otherwise. The Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania machines can always rely on an
enormous vote. William Hale Thompson was nominal
cd in a Chicago primary where nearly q million votes
were cast. Indiana is no state Of indifferents. II is
always assumed that the average citizen is going to
vote the way the reformer wants him to. Have We rea-
son to believe that this is the case or that public opin-
ion is not fairly represented By the so per cent or
more Of the voters that go to the polls in a country
where the number Of voters has been theoretically
doubled?
II in some states at some times the people seem in
different to corruption, il is perhaps because charges
have been made so recklessly; because Of the surviving
strength Of party feeling and because local, state and
federal matters are often 50 tangled together. That ma
tionally the voters or non-voters are indifferent TO
corruption" there is no evidence. In 1924 it was not
indifference to the scandals OF the Harding administra-
ton, but a just sense that the Coolidge administration
should not be punished for them that affected the cleo
torate. Indifference to national politics is not neces-
sarily to be inferred from abstention. SO far as it is
the cause Of abstention, it way be explained in part by
Indifference to the long rismarole Of platforms, their
attempts to confuse and ~befuddle; and by the evasion
and cowardice SO often manifested by political leaders.
Today prohibition is the one issue in which most
people are concerned. A straight fight on IL between
the two major parties would stir the intensest interest
and produce an astounding vote. But on whatever else
the people are allowed to give an opinion in 1928, this
will be avoided. So long as the managers of parties re-
main Indifferent to facts and public feeling, so long
a multitude Of the voters may well remain Indifferent.
1t is not the people, it is the politicians, who are
always "pussyfooting".

strongly that il has heretofore proved Of little avail
in r~emedying conditions.
When the farmer members of cooperatyes will
permit management Of their associations upon the
same basis that corporations would establish manage
ment, and the farmer membership take the same posi-
tion as stockholders in the large corporations now
hold. the cooperative plan will work out the farmers
problems. In some Of the agricultural sections this is
being worked out gradually, but it will require years
Of effort to change the views Of the individual farm
ers to such an extent that they will cease to be what
has been termed e a law unto themselves in their
farming operations"
That the great industrial organizers Of the coun-
try are turning their attention toward agriculture is
becoming very apparent. They realize that national
prosperity requires balanced prosperity; that every
Industry must thrive IN order to maintain all others
upon a prosperous basis. They realize that the farm
ers' ills are largely the result Of lack Of organization;
inefficiency in both production and marketing. and
their failure to accept the modern idea Of organization
and cooperation which is so thoroughly exemplified in
practically all other branches of industry.

Farm Indignation Suggested

Organization Of huge corporations to gradually
take over the agricultural industry of the United States
has been suggested by a prominent New York farm
leader as a means Of solving the ills Of agriculture,
which are largely due to the lack Of organization.
The United States has witnessed the gradual in
tegration az all other industries, and they have thrived
as never before. The trend toward further organiza-
ton is plainly discernible. Economists who have made
a study If the agricultural problems Of the country
point Gut that II il is economic to gather great groups
OF public service corporations together mad thus coordi-
nate management and control, similar economic benefits
would accrue 70 agriculture under similar control. A
New York writer. commenting on corporation man
arement Of agriculture, says;
under proper stimulus there could be developed
large scale corporations-not cooperative associations
formed for the purpose Of doing a general farming
business. They would acquire large aereages in differ
ent sections Of the country. so that the slump Of one
major crop could be absorbed by the prosperity Of one
or more crops. They could afford the best technical
advice, and could insist that such advice be followed.
They could have the best equipment and take care of
it. assuring maximum efficiency in all farming opera
tons. Their planting, harvesting and marketing
would be in charge Of experts in their respective lines,
and could be so coordinatcd that there would be a
steady flow Of production onto the market. Such cor
porations would be in position 10 take advantage Of
favorable situations wherever they might exist. They
would also have the advantage Of modern accounting
practices and establish financial positions. In fact,
they could apply TO agriculture every method that has
geen applied to make industry in the United States
highly profitable"
While it is unquestionably true that corporation
management of the industry would place it upon a
highly prosperous plane, il is also true that cooper
alive management would do likewise. However, under
the cooperative plan the human equation figures so

Accordingly. he prorounces the
