the business of producing and selling
electric power? The same principles
underlie the agricultural situation.
Shall the Government guarantee an
annual profit to the farmers for
their grain, cotton and other
products?
Again the trust question is neither
partisan nor class issue. Shall
the Sherman antitrust act be
amended. repealed or left intact?
Changes in that law arc demanded
by groups representing diverse inter-
csts. such as oil. coal mining. agri-
cultural. manufacturing and labor as
we'll as by various trade associations.
For example, in what is called the
great coal tragedy, 1t is agreed by all
sides that the cruX of the problem
lies in the fact that there are 1000
too many mines and 100000 too many
miners and that this excess could be
eliminated only through agreements
which would be In contravcntion Of
the Sherman act
Taxes Increasing.
Other questions. important but nom

And. above all. that great issue. pro-

II may be Is not likely to become in any
cnSe partisan one.
Nov, how are tho voters to be In
formed on these high controversial al
though non-partisan questions? The
nropagandlSts on each side flood the
papers. lecture platforms. pulpits and
forums of all descriptions with their
special arguments But, a partisan pres

than none, is far from educational
What is required is the presentation Of
both sides Of such perpleXing problems

Let me close by quoting the follow

zcns. one Republican and the other
a Democrat:
Elhu Root, former Secretary Of
State:
e. The duty rests upon each in

lieves in to take charge of their own
affairs and to substitute party organlza-

discussed Such meetings are being
held sporadically throughout the coun-
try. There are. however. so-Called de-
bates promoted by propagandists. the
trick being to have their own side ably
presented while the presentation Of the
other side Is left to weakling. There
, have even been debates where the
weaker side was in the pay OF the
stronger.
| All will agree that organized effort
is needed to provide for the holding of
| thousands of fair Joint discussions.

the national cooperating organizations

giving the arguments OF the pro" and

to aid the local speakers In equipping
themselves to deal with questions of ma

the case Of these issues coming before
the State Legislatures and city councils,
the ones affecting more intimately the

| naturally secure their material on tho

Parties Essential.
In emphasizing the large number OF
questions which are generally nom
partisan. I do not mean to imply that
citizens should ignore party organiza-
tons and become independent voters.
Nothing could be further from my pur-
pose Our Government rests primarily
upon the foundation OF political parties
and without party machinery it would
soon run down and go out OF business.
so to speak Think of the choas which
would result If the two party organiza-
tons should fail to man the election
precincts during registration. primar"

tailed by the election laws! Realizing

that, when It comes to getting out the
vote. the party organizations naturally
take the lead, let me urge the national
cooperating bodies to have their locals
appoint subcommittee to cooperate
with the party organizations by induc-
ing at least their own members to
register. enroll and vote.
While the foregoing refers almost ex-
clnsively to our adult CitiZcnry, another
large field calls for attention. 1t is a
we'll known fact that 1000 900 bows and
girls will cast their first presidential
votes In 1928. In most cases these
young people have had splendid civic
training In colleges and high schools
and. with their youthful enthusiasm and
energy they will be eager to become
active In party work There Is even a
field where the several million partici-
pants In the national and intercollcgi-
ate oratoriCal contests on the Constitu-
ton. who are not yet of voting age, can
be enlisted.
To Meet Here.
Our department on active citizenship
Is appealing to the Republican and
Democratic national committees to IA
cilitate, through their local oreaniza =
tons. the utilization of these near

mcnt and election days and the inaug,l-
ration OF social and educational pro-
grams at party club meetings which will

ment along that line Is now being
planned in Democratic and Repub-
lican district In New York City. Also.
in that city an experiment was made
during registration week last October in
utilizing the $4,000 high school bows
and girls to stimulate the civic interest
OF their parents and other relatives
The resultant report showed that, of
tho $4,000 eligible voters interviewed,
10000 t72 per cent? registered This
was big percentage, considering that
no National or State officers were to be
filled. The excuses given by those who
declined to register were: Lack OF in
