Prohibition And Politics

Chairman Joan J. Raskob of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, has asked everybody who contr-
buted to the last Democrat national campaign fund
to give him some advice the question whether or
not change in the prohibition laws should be adj
vocated in the next Democratic national platform
We don't know what these gentlemen who fin
anced Alfred E. Smiths campaign for the presidency
will tell Mr.. Raskob. We believe however, that the
farther they are away from the big cities the less
likely they are to recommend either the repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment or the liberalization of the
Volstead act.
It would be pity is seems to us, to have pres-
Dental election complicated by the question OF pro
hblton. ProhbltlOn as we see It, IS not and ought
not to be made partisan issue. 1t cuts across all
party lines and throws into the political situation
issue which has no bearing upon the vitality import
ant economic questions which the only sound basis
for political action Mr. Raskob and his friends sug
gest several alternative programs for consideration
The essence of them all is that the people of the Unit
ed States and Of the several states should have the
right to vote directly constitutional amendments
This seems to be based the theory that state legs
latures, which ratified the eighteenth amendment,
and which have ratified all previous amendments to
the Constitution: do not truly represent the prepon-
deran opinion Of the people of their states. We
objection to such referendum but we think Mr..
Rask0b would be surprised at the result if his party
should commit itself to referendum on the repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment and should find itself in
position to submit such a referendum to the people.
W thing there is great deal to be said in favor
OF the general proposition that there is too much of
tendency to centraizlng government at Washington.
And, Of course, any political organization or group
that desires to has perfect right to advocate and
try to put into effect any change in the Constitution
which seems desirable to the group But if the pur
pose of great national party is to elect its cand
date for the presidency we think it would be just
too bad to compcate the issue by putting into the
which there is much and such violent difference

Compulsory Voting

We sometimes wonder what would happen II eV-
ervbodv who is entitled to vote at Presidential cleo
zion were compelled to go to the polls or go to jail
The first thing we would have to Go would De to nlld
lot more pals For at the last Presidential election
in 1928 only just bare half of the citizens VINO were
entitled to vote took the trouble to do So According
recent report of the Census Office. there are
o43,624 persons more than tWenty-one years old ID
the United States The total vote cast tor all candl
dates for president in 1923 was 36,724823.
We are not sure but what there IS some merit III
the idea Of compulsory voting. Something OF the sort
IS being tried we understand, in some OF the smaller
Young Republics of Europe. We believe it would be
very good thing for the nation il some way could oe
found to make it absolutely necessary for every clt
zen of voting age to go the polls at least once ev
erv four years and cast some kind of ballot whether
intelligent not.
We believe that the forces Of corruption In pub
lie offices retain their main power because such high
proportion of people who regard themselves as good
citizens do not take the trouble to cast their ballots
We believe that it would be effective way OF max
ing our people recognize that they are really part
of the government if could figure out some way OF
making it worth while for everybody to go to the polls
on election day, or uncomfortable for them if they
did not And when election was over there would be
no question in anybodys mind as to what the nation
as 2 whole really thought about the candidates and
the issues.

4l MAN who officer in France told this story,
"a which is interesting and may be true.
He said that November TO- 1918 friend of his went
headquarters and stopped beside the desk of officer
busy with his charts and figures that he had hardly left his
office for days.
The visitor said to him WELL guess it's about all over.
'What do you mean?" asked the stascan.
"Why, the armistice will be declared tomorrow"
Nonsense the satistician exclaimed "Ths is going
for another five Whereupon he drew out his graphs
and his charts and proceeded to prove it.
Here's another story, told me by banker.
In November, $780, the ten leading economists Of the
United States held concave and took ballot on how
long the business depression would last
One of them said it would be in six months
Four said it would last from to three years.
The other said would last from three five years
"I they are right the outlook is pretty gloomy isn't it ??
said it certainly
There joker the story as told it, he added
at the meeting held in November 1880 1t was held
in November 1920 And that depression to close
know in August, 1921,
Looking back history, that prophecy has
always been dangerous business But between the opt
msc prophets and the pesmstc the balance IN favor OF
the optimiss
