Suffer Overdose
THIS country suffers from
....1o. 49, ..nnr,,1n 4in,n-

THIS country suffers from a
Il thousand rules and regulations
which represent the same philosophy
that brought nationwide prohi-
bition into, being, and which are
producing the same kind of dis
respect for government, although in
lesser degree.
City ordinances, state laws, and
even provisions of the Constitution
are being nullified in this country
without the slightest conjunction.
In some cases, little or no attempt
is made to enforce them.
In others, they are laughed out
of court whenever such attempt is
made. In still others, they are
emaSculated by conflicting methods
of regulation
A large portion of the arrests now
being made represent nothing but
an annoyance to the public. a large
portion of the cases tried represent
nothing but waste of public time
and money.
A large portion of the convictions
obtained represent nothing but an
excuse for conscientious people to
work for pardons and paroles.
The country is being flooded with
ex-convicts, many of whom never
should have been branded and many
Of whom never should have been re-
leased. This comes from the fact
that we are trying to correct the law
after it has done the damage, in
stead of revising it to prevent the
damage.
The whole system Smacks of
weakness, hesitancy, and doubt.
That is why it does not work any
better, and why it needs a general
overhauling.

guisned career knows well enough that he could if he
wished, set forth causes and cures of the depression
IN logic and language that would jar America The
depression gave him the chance Of his lifetime Harp
ers opened its pages.
No better medium for informing intelligent Anoeri
cans could have been found Yet we fnd him taking
the most futilitarian of attitudes
"Panics crises, depressions-helpless embarrass-
ment hating production, dire hardship-these con-
stitute the dread disease Of the economic body. 1t
strikes rich and poor deserving and undeserying Sure
as we are in our criticism of smdry palliatves and
remedies, we are in no agreement about preventves
or cure Therein we in better position than the
doctors regards cancer"
Just why Professor Taussg picked cancer for his
analogy between medicine and economics is hard to
understand He could not have meant seriously to
imply that he really believes an informed economist
knows no about the cases and cures of the
ent economic impasse than doctor knows about
cancer
one who digs into the economic writings of Parker
Willis John T. Flynn, Stuart Chase George Soule.
Paul Douglas, G. D. H Cole, H P Fairchild or Harry
Ladder will not long remain in doubt
Professor Taussg would have been on firm ground
had he chosen smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid fever
on syphilis for his medical analogy The economists
are as clear in their private knowledge of the causes
and cures of our depressions as doctors are relative
those above mentioned conquerable and preventable
diseases.
Professor Tugwell puts his finger on such evasive-
ness as Professor Taussig exemplifes:
1t is mistake to suppose that economists do not
know what causes depressons or how to avoid them.
Iney have enough knowledge to generalize from The
DIFFICULTY is that they think the cure might be worse
IMAM the diSease-or at least they have shrewd no.
ton that no western people would swallow the nedi
cine they might be forced to prescribe.
consequently they either do not prescribe or thew
content themselves with suggesting pallatiyes"
