A REAL TEST

DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University, can
didate for vice president in 1912 run
ming together with VIM. Howard Taft,
and known all over America as one
of the outstanding conservative lead
ers, said in a New York speech the
other day: 1.-THE extent and severity
of present unemployment is such as to
constitute a full and final test of the
capitalistic system-a test to which
it has never before been subjected
DR.. Butler together with many of the
intelligent leaders of America realizes
that we must have new and better
political leadership to maintain a
stable and well balanced society.

CRUMBS ARE FALLING

King George of England, who has
been receiving $2,3OO,OOO annually for
expenses of his household has de-
cided to reduce this amount by $242,-
500 this year to aid Great Britain
through her financial emergency.
What a benevolence! More than 200
families would like to divide the re-
duction. The prince of Wales will
follow the example of his father by
looping off $4,000 of his allowance
from the government. And those in
the midst of all such luxury some
times tire of it! But it looks as if
that is the way it is supposed" to be-.

The trend then of the modern scien-

Do AMERICAN HISTORIES TEACH
"SWORD RATTLINGs" .

Editor Askov American:
Is it true that the American public
school history texts teach our children
to be super-patriots, sword rattlers
and war hawks. Are they chained to
philosophy of marrow patriotism?"
Some people are inclined to believe
so. The aims and detectives OF mod
ern scientific history are vastly diff
ferent from the political history of
the little red schoolhouse" days. In
situations and society have changed
since that time and so have history
texts.
What then does modern scientific
history teach? Its first duty is to
teach understanding. An understand
ing of the institutions of the present
day which the pupils must enter and
become a part of. Second, it aims to
teach attitudes. To be historical
minded. To search for the truth. To
examine both sides of the question.
To demand evidence. To be tolerant
toward all.
The teacher in a modern class room
does not teach a war, battle, mill
tary strategy and campaigns. The
unit is broader and it is known as a
movement" If the Westward Move
ment as unit should contain war,
that is merely an incident in the many
factors that explains the movement.
In other words the emphasis today is
upon the social, economic and politi-
cal development of the American peo-
pie, and not upon the military as it
still is in Europe. Wars in histories
been relegated to the background.
They are only important insofar as
how they may have changed institu-
tions or caused people to live differ
emily. The modern class room teach
er does not cram down the Threats
of her pupils dry facts of military
stratagem.
Then you ask is patriotism taught
at all? Yes but it is not narrow
patriotism. 1t is peace patriotism.
The duty of every citizen to vote in
telligently. To be we'll informed
about the machinery of government
so that he knows how to be a good
citizen. The old patriotism was mere
ly service and war. It's the new
patriotism that has to check the AL
Capones. We can afford to look at
the truth. $40.
Of course we have our big Bill
Thompsons" and that flag waving
crowd. Any high school pupil can
read in Muzzeys,- american History"
page 1873. But the plain fact is that
the commander of the King George
forces (Howe) did not wish to conquer
the Americans by the sword" Ger
tainly not. Howe was Wing. Every
pupil knows that John Hancock, first
signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, was a smuggler of no small
means. Modern pupils smile if you
tell them Washington never told
lie."
Modern histories do not try to plant
halo around its historical char
acters. They try. to picture people as
they were-real human men and
women. Children can understand real
people. There is no need of using an
immoral means to prove a truth.
Again the modern school of bio
graphy attempts to go too far in off
setting the past exaggerated hero wor-
ship. Should the scandals of the pri-
waite life of Harding be placed in the
curriculum for children? The true

POLITICIANS CRAWLING

Will Rogers, the humorist, let the
"cat out of the bag" the other day.
Speaking of England he said they
wasn't afraid to put an additional tax
on big incomes. They forgot politics
when they are in tight place. Re-
publicans can't tax big incomes over
here for they haven't got next years
campaign budget yet. Democrats still
owe for their last three elections"

FAVORS PROGRESSIVE.
PRINCIPLES
Editor Askov, American:

EIuitoi faohofs faLlCIiSdh.
Once more winter draws near with
unemployment worse than ever, prices
low and everything jumbled up about
as bad as it can be. Our economists
and socalled best minds are making
a desperate effort to throw the burden
of unemployment relief on the local
people, thereby saving the ultra rich
from sharing their part. Organized
wealth's attitude toward a national
unemployment fund is indeed quite
funny, money when appropriated by
the state or community is called a
community fund and unemployment
relief although paid by the taxpayers.
A national unemployment fund is
called "dole" and un-American and
very undesirable it is hardly neces-
sary to say that a state and commun-
ity unemployment fund raised by taxa
ton will be paid by the local property
owners in the main, while national
unemployment fund will be paid by the
rich. This is why the best minds
are so very much opposed to ma
tional fund for unemployment. Taxes,
when collected from the farmers and
overtaxed small property owners are
constructive necessity, when col
lected from the ultra rich taxes be-
come destructive and un-American.
Hence the movement to saddle unem-
ployment relief, on where the powers
that be, say it belongs on the small
taxpayers.
However, there is an effective way
of handling this situation and that is
at the next election to defeat our rep
resentatives to Congress who are not
right on vital issues that concern us,
it is an easy matter to get the record
of each representative to Congress
and his vote on important issues
through the Congressional record,
their vote tells the tale, whether they
should be returned to Congress or not.
This applies equally to our state sena-
tors and representatives, pay no at
tention to party lines or oratory, but
defeat all those who are trying to
keep concentrated wealth intact at
the expense of the small property
owner and business man. Our best
minds and leaders of the party in
power are moving heaven and earth
to prevent the disintergration of the
colossal fortunes built up during the
development period of our national
resources, some were built up through
mere graft and corruption. These
fortunes are to be kept sacred and
anything that vitality effects them ex-
cept building them up still further,
is nearly sacrilegious, un-American,
destructive and unjust. If we accept
this challenge in due meekness and
humility and stand before wealth, un-
limited, in awe and respect, we de-
serve to revert into state of serf-
dom, if we exert ourselves an end can
be put to this.
1t is necessary to reward ability and
industry by just compensation, the
efficient of course should get more
than the inefficient, but there is a
limit to this when one man gets more
than thousand common laborers in
the case of a steel official, it appears
undue stress is laid on merit. 1t is
also necessary to respect property
rights to encourage thrift and initia
tive, but where 500 people received
more income than all the wheat
farmers and cotton growers in the

DRASTIC RULE TO END
AIR WHISTLE PLANNED

In its never-ending battle against in
reference for the listener, the Federal
Radio Commission proposes to initiate
drastic regulation which would de-
n1snd 80 per cent increase in the
efficiency of broadcasting stations
The permissible deviation or "wobble"
Of breadcssting stations from their as
signed frequency would be reduced by
the commission from 500 to so cycles
as a means Of eliminating one Of broad
castings major annoyances-the hete-
rodyne whistle. Such an order has
been drafted and will be the subject of
a general hearing before the commits
sion next month.
The order is not as far-reaching as
it sounds. since great many Of the
large stations now are so equipped as
to enable more or less strict frequency
adherence. and it would not impose a
great difficulty upon them to keep
within the proposed limits. But many
Of the smaller stations do not have
frequency controls to stabilize their
emitted waves and they wobble all over
the band, causing the disconcerting
whistle in the received program.
