WHAT PRICE LIBERTY

It has always been the pride and boast of America that it 'he home eof the free But just how free are we? With our hundreds of thousands of state and fed eral laws to say nothing of city ordinances what ct- zen can go through day of A hours without consciously or unconsously violating one or more of them?
 Yet Ignorance of the law excuses no man. And vet again not one official in hundred is familiar with all the ordinances which he is shown to enforce.
 It is true of course that the ever increasing com pexity of cvilization-or is 1t civizaton?- ?-ap- hears to make new laws necessary from time to time But is there any justification for the orgy of law-nak ing with it's inevitable accompaniment of laW-brealng which this country has witnessed in recent years
 Tha most disturbing result of all this is that really such serious crimes as murder burglary arson and the ike are seldom punished while the ordinarily decenI 1;fa b ,naze of laws and beaureacratic regulations which require an army of officials to enforce Ana at that tllev are net enforced
 It looks as though we are paying tremendous price for government the principal object of which ap- bears to be the destruction of those fundamental 1ghts for which our forefathers fought and died.
