The Hastings Plan
New York World-T telegram


Senator Daniel o. Hastings, of Del
aware, is a conservative Republican,
former supreme court judge, an ex-
dry. His proposal that the coming
session of congress refuse further
funds for dry enforcement in wet
states, therefore, must be taken seri-
ously.
Seventeen states either have refused
to enact state enforcement laws, re-
pealed their dry acts or voted by ref
erendum to repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment. Why. asks Senator
Hastings, should the federal govern
rnent spend big sums trying to enforce
low In cooperative states where
there never was a chance to make 1t
effective?"
Obviously congress should not null
lily law for the whole country be-
fore the whole country repeats it. But
1t Is neither justice nor economy tc
keep on pouring enforcement money
into states that reject enforcement
TO continue to spend upward Of a..
100000 q year on federal enforce
ment" In the seventeen non-coopera.
tive states Is unfair and wasteful.
It is unfair to the 45,000,000 people
Of wet states to foist enforcement
upon them against their Wills. They
have told the government they want
their own money spent on more pro-
ductive enterprises.
There Is no money In the United
States treasury except for the baresl
necessities Of government. Even nov
We are heavily In the red, and are
borrowing money to run the govern
ment and to feed our hungry. Must
we rob these essential services in q
vain erdeavor to enforce an unen-
forceable law in states that have re.
jected the law?

Not His Responsibility Yet

Not His Responsibility Yet
Some New York city newspapers are
taking Governor Franklin D. Roose-
welt to task for not agreeing to Presi-
dent Hoovers scheme for debt COM
mission and attendant delays in the
settlement Of general policy on the
foreign obligations.
OF course Mr.. Roosevelt is not yet
president.
In the second place, upon Congress
rests the acceptance or rejection of
any treaty affecting the payments Of
the debts.
Again, the payments due soon are
Of such nature as not to be en-
barrassing to France or Great Britain.
The stand taken by those countries
now is in hope Of getting an agree
l1ent on future payments. Immediate
payments are smaller than what some
Of our federal bureaus are now spend
ing.
There is no need for excitement at
this juncture. The European nations
can pay and probably will.
Public sentiment is overwhelming in
America that they should pay the in
Stalments when due, giving the new
administration time to formulate a
policy when it assumes the reins OF
government next March.
Postponement OF the debt payment
now will not better business any more
than the moratorium Of more than q
year ago did. Advocates Of cancella-
ton or reduction Of these debts are
merely specializing when they promise
prosperity ~ . result Of debt revision.
Past experience hardly confirms this
viewpoint.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is doing what every
wise prestdent-elect would do In the
same situatton-watchfully waiting
until the Job Is his.

The New LOBBYISTS

There was time when every ses-
sion of every state legislature found
representatives of the railroads on
hand to lobby" for their interests.
This still may be true in some places,
but there is increasing evidence that
the old-time railroad lobbyist has
gone to the limbo of useless things
For new and more powerful rail-
road Hobbies are being organized in
most states.
In Kentucky a Railroad Employees
and Citizens League took an active
part in recent election and, accord
ing to an article in the Railway Age,
it was found when the legislature
convened that the railroads had
practically no enemies. In all $4,000
petitions bearing on transportion
matters were presented and much
legislation favorable to the railroads
was passed.
A similar organization now is being
organized in North Dakota and
branch recently was formed in Bis
marck.
The significant thing is the change
in effective methods. The profess
sional lobbyist who accomplished his
ends by devious and mysterious
means has been replaced by an Or
ganization of railroad employees and
others whose aims are openly stated.
Labor and capital were never be-
fore SO closely allied as they are to-
day on matters affecting the trans
portation industry. The owners are
no more interested in their dividends
than the workers are in their jobs.
