RIDING TOO HIGH

Ex-President Coolidge, writing in
the American magazine, says that the
American people have been riding
too high, and that they will have to
keep nearer to the ground. He would
like the old verse which says:
Little boats must keep near shore,
Larger ones may venture more.
For some years the American peo-
pie spent money, for personal pur-
poses and in their government enter
prises, as if the day of careful thrift
had gone forever. They have now
learned their mistake. They are con-
cluding that walking on a safe foot
ing is better than riding on a high
horse who occasionally throws you
into the ditch.

'IAME DUCK" SESSION

The United States Senate has again
agreed to a proposed constitutional
amendment that would abolish the
so-called lame duck" sessions of
Congress. 1t has seemed absurd,
that after a new Congress has been
elected, the old one should gather
about 80 days later to hold its final
session. 1t is as if a business con-
cern, having appointed a new man
to a certain position, was forced to
have the former occupant of the job
hold it for four months more.
And it does seem more than fun
ny, that when the American people
elect a Congress, it will not meet
until 1S months after it was elected,
unless the President calls it in ex-
appointed his agents to go to work
Is months after he named them,
might do very we'll in slow old China
where there are few railroads. But
the laugh would be on him in fast
moving America. At the date when
the new congressman meet under
the law, it is getting toward the time
when new ones will be elected to
take their places.
The Federal government is a slow
and pOnderous old machine, which |
lumbers along in its heavy way to
obtain it's tardy results. In spite of
the best that its officials and work
ers can do, it is impeded at every
turn by old-fashioned methods. AS
soon as possible, its outworn sys-
TENS will have to be modified, until
it seems more like business Or
ganization, and less like a political
picnic.
Under the proposed amendment,
Congress would meet January 2 fol-
lowing its election early in Novem-
ber. The President would begin his
term on January Is. That seems
more like modern business.
1t is objected that under such
plan, Congress might be in session ,
most of the time, which many feel s
would have disturbing effect on !
business. However, the weather is I
hot enough during the summer at 7
Washington so that ordinarily the {
statesmen are not very keen about q
staying there. s

THEY ARE DEMOCRATIC DEBTS
Lexington (Ky.) Leader

Lexington (Ky.) Leader
Secretary Hyde, explaining more
explicitly what he meant in his re-
cent speech before a New York au-
dience in defending the President,
among other things pointed out a
fact which many people seem to be
overlooking. That fact is that the
United States has cancelled a large
part of the total of the war debts,
so that the various European gov
ernments are paying back only the
sums borrowed after the World War
closed, not what was borrowed
while it was going on; and, the fur
ther fact, that these loans, amount
ing to some $12,OOO,OO0, 900, were
negotiated by President Wilson,
Mr.. William Gibbs McAdOo, and
Mr.. Carter Glass, not by a Republi-
can administration.
Mr.. Hoover had nothing to do
with creating this huge indebted
ness on the part of Europe. Yet the
Democratic leaders today are, as
Secretary Hyde pointed out, trying
to make political thunder from the
difficult and delicate international
problems which have grown out of
those debts"
Secretary Hyde has performed a
real public service in making this
point clear The President has to
deal with one of the most difficult
situations imaginable but one for
which he is in no remote sense re-
sponsible. Mr.. Wilson's administra-
tion created the debts, and the
money loaned, if it is finally lost, if
the American people have to them
selves retire the bonds and pay the
interest on them, will have been lost |

BRINGING THE WORLD TO ONE
LEVEL
BY George B. LOckwoOd

BY George B. Lockwood
Three or four years ago, when the
great delusiOn prevailed that the
United States was rich enough tC
put all the rest of the world OH q
pension, a religious body declared
that it was selfish for the United
States to enjoy such prosperity while
so much of the rest of the world
was in want, and suggested that il
was time to begin to "whack up"
Since that time, through the Thin
ble-rigging of the international
bankers, who seem for very practi-
cal reasons to have the same idea,
we have been financing the rest of
the world to the point where a cave
in of our debtors has seriously af-
fected American industry and en-
plOyment. Now the same type of al
TRUST is crying out against the
American government and social
system because we are poorer than
we used to be, and many Americans
have no sufficient means of susten-
ance.
That is of course a beautiful idea
dividing up with the rest of the
world, and bringing the standard of
life of Americans down to that of
the billion people in the Orient, for
instance, who live in filth, poverty
and ignorance. By such a redistri-
button of the wealth of the world,
the level of this billion Asiatics
would not be much raised, but rath-
e rthat Americans would be greatly
degraded.
Now if present conditions in
America are to be complained of,
what could be said of the situation
when Americans are put on gare
sustenance basis, which is the aver
age basis today with fully three
fourths of the worlds population?
The prosperity of America is not |
that fell like mama from |
heaven. Our standards of life have |
not been attained without labor and
sacrifice, without toll and struggle. |
We have not attained these unique /
standards at the sacrifice of the we'll
being of other peoples. What lOgi-
;al reason exists for asserting that
peoples who have not put forth the
effort, or used the wisdom that has
tut America where she is, have an

What has been achieved in this ma
ion? And how many Americans
lctually believe that effort should be
xverted to pauperize their country
nd their countrymen, the only pos
ible way in which a common world
evel can be brought about? How
many of those who advocate such a

ave with others less fortunate or

Confusing Two Issues

In an effort apparently, to head off either direct
federal relief for the unemployed or an extensive pro-
gram of public works, conservative members of con-
gress are pushing bills providing for $132Oo0OoO worth
of federal road work.
The administration has come to their assistance
with statement from the United States bureau of
public roads that at least IS per cent and possibly
more than 80 per cent of the money, expended for
concrete pavement ultimately is paid out as wages
and salaries"
If this statement could be accepted at face value
would appear that $125 spent on roads would go
long way toward providing living for at least those
members of the unemployed who male and able
bodied.
But closer study of the statement leaves one not
quite so optimistic.
1t turns out that only Is per cent of the road
building fund goes directly to employed on con-
struction jobs Another IL per cent goes to men en-
poyed in quarres sand pits mills and factories where
materials are produced.
1t is conceivable that some closed factories or quar-
res might be reopened to produce the necessary mate
rails and unemployed men might benefit directly.
But from that point on, the calculation is a very
different basis Fourteen per cent of the money spent
for roads is paid to men employed by transportation
companies principally railroads.
The statement says, part of the cost is paid to
the men who build the machinery and equipment USED
in constructing highways Even more is paid to the
men who build the machinery and equipment used
in the sand pits the quarres the cement mills, and
the steel mills where the road materials produced
and to those who build the equipment of the compan
les that deliver these materials.
Some is paid to miners, the men who work in re-
fineres and those who work on the pipe lines in the
oil feds-the industries which provide the fuel that
produces the power used in producing materials, in
transporting them, and in working them into finished
pavements."
In other words the bureau of public roads Supposes
that to build $1250OOOOO worth of highways this
winter to aid unemployment, oil companies first would
place an order for new pipes, factories would hum,
pipes would be laid oil wells would be sunk, railroads
would be laid new engines would be built, the steel
mills would re-equip themselves with machinery and
new cement mills would be constructed.
AS a practical matter, the railroads would use
their existing crews, and the engines and rails they
already have and so for the most part would the
other auxiliary industries so glowingly named
1t is of course, excellent thing for the govern
ment to spend money for any sound public works
project and thus lend what aid it to business.
But such project should not in any way be confused
with providing immediate emergency relief, either
through substantial amounts of work for idle and
women or grants to local agencies feeding the hungry.

The State Rebels

The only Interpretation that can be placed upon
the gathering of the mayors of eighty-seven cities
and towns at Martinsve is that the state has finally
rebeled against utility domination.
For many years the utilities have ruled Indiana.
They have nominated legislators and Governors They
nave dictated appointments to the public service
commission They have written the for the state
and defeated suggestions that might have nerfered
With their unbridled greeds.
They have entered the councils Of both parties
and employed as lawyers and lobbyists the infuen-
tial In both Democratic and Republican organi-
cations
Now the mayors of cities have declared war to the
Limit on this sovereignty.
In the next legislature there will be demand
for laws that will make public ownership easy in
stead Of most difficult.
There will be demand for laws that will take
the greedy hands of the utilities out of the pockets
Of industry and commerce.
There will be very insistent demand for new
commission composed of men who do not their
jobs to secret servity to agent of the utility
interests
When the mayors of these cities, who, after all,
compelled to play politics in order to retain their
offices have reached the conclusion that it no longer
pays to play with the utilities, it is time to take
notice.
If the utilities wish to escape a growing demand
for public ownership, they will at once reduce their
rates without waiting to be forced by reluctant
public service commission and then appealing to fed
eral courts
The people finally know that they have been
robbed and being robbed.
The amount taken from public taxation for light
ing and water has become intolerable.
The charges against the home owner and indus
try is too great be longer tolerated.
Eighty-seven cities in revolt should be warning
enough to the utility managers that the day has ar
rived to quit sucking eggs.
