AUTOMOTIvE PROSPERITY

According to Webster's dictionary,
the word prosperity means successful
attainment of anything desirable; adj
vancement. Taking the first meaning,
the United States as whole is very
prosperous nation. Statistics show that
this country has one automobile for
every five persons or figuring from a
collective standpoint, it has an auto
for each family. The registration of
motor vehicles in the United States
in 1928 showed gain of So per cent,
totaling 24,493,124, or an increase of
1,359,SS3 compared with the figures
for the preceding year, the Bureau of
Public Roads, Department of Agricul-
ture announced April 6. There were
24,493, 124 motor vehicles and the states
and the District of Columbia collected
in license fees, permit charges, reg
iStration fees, fines, ETC., the sum of
1922, SCOOPS. This is S21,56S, S93
more than was collected in 1927 and
an increase of more than Z per cent
Considering these figures the people
of the United States are establishing a
record for using the automobile as a
mode of travel and whether it is a
sign of prosperity or not, 1t certainly
speaks well for Uncle Sans system
toward giving his citizens a lux
urious and speedy means of travel

much courage to vote right on a bill
that is bound to lose. Shipstead has
made his greatest splurge on meas
ures that required no splurge, but
they looked good in the papers. We
need fighters from the northwest, not
hand-shakers.
Shipstead's record can be summed
up in a statement that he has mas
tered the difficult art of riding two
horses going different directions at
the same time. To the informed he
will remain a tooth-puller with So
ciety complex who will get for the
great northwest exactly what the
adroit Old Guard is willing to give
him for playing nice. An honest con-
sentative, yes even a crooked one, will
get as much any time.
Why is it the progressives are so
easily bamfoozled? l venture to guess
that it is because they don't have the
slightest idea where they are headed
for. Are they headed for state So
cialism? If so they at least have a
definite goal for, much as l detest it,
socialism is form of government
based on the principle that govern
ments are good when they are made
profitable to the weak and lazy. Mod
ern Republicanism (and, by the way,
they know where they're going) is
based on the principle that govern
ments are strong when they are made
profitable to the rich and powerful.
Might it not be a good idea to re-
turn to the fundamental form of our
government as put forth by Jefferson
that government has as it's sole pur-
pose the protection of property and
life of rich and poor alike without
either getting legislative advantages?
Might it not be good idea to return
to the Bill of Rights and get away
from the modern moralists who believe
governments are for the purpose of
driving people into Kingdom come?
Has Shipstead done anything to
make the Bill of Rights less a mock
cry? Has he shown by his acts that
he has the least idea concerning the
Declaration of independence and the
first ten amendments? Hasn't he,
when you think it over, continually
been playing both sides against the
middle for the purely political ad-
vantage of Shipstead?
What the northwest Progressives
need is not another Shipstead, but a
little inkling of what government is,
a slight conception of the Bill of
Rights, together with, perhaps, Il
slight idea of where they are going.

THE FARM RELIEF SESSION
Minneapolis Starr

Congress is now assembling
in the special farm relief session
promised by President Hoover in his
campaign.
How far it will succeed in restor-
ing his fair share of prosperity to
the farmer only time can tell.
But the first business of the Hoover
administration is agriculture.
True, as always, a multitude of ma
tional problems great and small are
pressing for solution. But the i'm
minence of any one important prob
lem Gas the current interest in the
conservation of our oil resources) need
not alter our perspective. Fought out
with agriculture everywhere as one
of the major issues, the presidential
campaign over great part of the
country was centered about agricu!-
ture which to multitudes of voters
became the dominant, outstanding is
sue.
Mr. Hoover pledged himself to ear
nest and early action in the search
for agricultural relief or betterment.
The agricultural problem is so big
and broad, has so many angles and
ramifies so widely that for its ulti-
mate solution the ablest constructive
thought is needed. There is no rule
of thumb by which it can be solved.
Basically sound, the foundation
stone in fact upon which all remedial
plans must rest, is the thought that
the standard of rural living must be
brought up to the country's general
living standard advances if we are
truly to remain prosperous people.
We doubt that anyone expects ma
gic to be worked by this Congressional
session. But we believe that the coun-
try has a right to expect President
Hoover to see that a foundation is
laid for series of constructive mea-
sures that will do all that legislation
can do to restore the farmer to his
place in the sun.
