 Among the destructive individuals is Professor John Dewey of Columbia Uni versity,, venerable educator and philoso- pher who has transformed American edu- cation and made 1t practical, and who is known throughout the world as a useful and distinguished American. There are also the controversial but highly respected edu. eators. Professor Alexander Meiklejohn of the University of Wisconsin. Professor Paul H. Douglas of the University of Chicago and Professor John Ladd of Marquette Uni versity.
 Aren't the good ladies seeing things! With regard to most of these men and groups, if not all, normal American finds it hard to believe that their activities are so diaboleal, in purpose or in effect. The ladies, we fear, are out of step with their fellow-eountrymen. Most Americans are more tolerant and less easily frightened. As for our country, it is pretty tough. Look what it has gone through since l776. Look what it is going through now, in a peace ful and orderly way, despite big crisis and wide difference of opinion.

No More Taxes

Last week. while France had no govern vainly to organize one that would balance the budget against $400,000,000 deficit, crowds marched through the streets shouting No more taxes!" France is in bad shape, worse than Americans have suspected. The government bank has lot of gold, but the people have no money. Americans know how that is. All over our own country roar goes up against taxes from people who cannot pay. The country seems in danger of tax strike almost comparable to the strike by the American colonies against King Georges taxes.
 There must be taxes, in France and in America, to keep government going, to operate public services and to provide relief for the needy. But the tax COW is going dry. Money may be raised by bond issues while public credit lasts But this is only partial and temporary substitute for taxes and dangerous when carried to excess, and nowhere justified now except for imperative relief funds The only real substitute for taxes is public economy. Small government units the villages, cities and counties even some of the states, are now practicing eeon- omy as they have not done for many years. The national government has not yet begun If it doesn't fall into line, it will be over whelmed by tide of wrath.

Massachusetts is declaring war on deer jaeking." It's director of fisheries and game is going to have the law amended so that future violations can be prosecuted. In Con- neetieut now such illegal hunting is prose- euted to the full extent of the law when offenders are caught. And they certainly should be. The attorney general of Massa- ehusetts has ruled that under no eireun- stances can deer be shot with the aid of flashlights This applies also to farmers or orchard proprietors who shoot the animals damaging their crops. As most of these depre- dations occur at night they resort to any means to protect their crops You really can't blame farmers for such action, but we should think that few scares might serve just as good a purpose. As to lacking deer" as sport that's out for all time.

There won't be an alloeation of state highway department funds this year judging by reports from the Legislature. Members of the committee on appropriations stated this week that they wouldn't return favor able report on any measure contemplating such step. The idea is to put highway de- partment funds into general fund with monies received from other departments. When the highway department wanted to draw from the general funds it would have to get legislative approval. Not so good, not so good! Let's drop this idea right away.

SLY AND wILY STREAM
(New York sun)

It has been brulted about often in recent years that the Cur stream, by shifting its course, has managed to change the climate. Of the Xtl0ntic coast states, bringing miider Winters than our. grand- fathers or great-grandfathers en- dured. Recent winters have been mild, generally speaking, though persons not yet nncientS can re. member the rigros of the winter or i0i7.is. Mild winters or severe ones, tho Gulf Stream cannot be charged with responsibility. A sur. yey carried out by tho officers Of the British destroyer Saguenay Tn the course of that vessels passage to tho West Indies station confirms the situation of tho dulf Stream as that indicated on the 1911 charts. Americans have previously had ire. quent assurance from their own surveyors that the Gulf Stream has not changed, was not changing, would not change its course.
 Indomitable believers in the pow CTS of the Gulf Stream may main. tain that the Gulf stream, notor. iousiy sly and willy, received cd. vance information of the intended survey and went back to the haunts of 1911 further to perplex c har- assed and bewiidered world. To some that may seem plausible; that famous ocean current has been in- vested with 50 many remarkabiii- ties that it only strains eredulity a trihe more to think of the Gulf stream as capable Of spoohng unis imaginative surveyors of the deep.

Washington - If Professor Rex ford G. Tugwells proposed federal program for economic recovery iS substantially that which may be expected from President-e elect Roosevelt, there can be no doubt that the next administration will attempt to proceed along the broad progressive lines which chniacter- ized the first administration of Woodrow Wilson.
 Appalling as Tugwelfs propos- als may be to conservatives, there is little doubt that Roosevelt would be able to get most Of thom enacted. It would Do tho iirst time anyone In power had bunch cd an actual attempt to combat the depression and beat 1t back. Past government policy has been design- cd to bolster up certain key sec- tlons of the financial structure while coasting along on the theory that even Impressions must come to on end.
 Speculation has been rather fur- ious here as to tho extent to which Tugweli's Ideas may be those of Roosevelt. The professor Is one of the closest and most trusted ad- yisers of the president-elect and is ono member of the Roosevelt brain trust" whose reputation has not been at all dchated. He says. Of course, that he Is speaking for him self. But there is 0 tendency to be: lieVe that, In large part, ne ana Roosevelt see eye to eye.

Maggots and Politicians

. Just as there will always be maggots in hueklcberries so will there be political deals. ESQ declares Governor Wilbur L. Gross. Whether this is his retort final to the charge that democratic state senator has sold him. self down the river into republican bondage remains to be seen. Perhaps the governor may consider the charges, or better still the fumors. trumped up and not yet quite dehn- site enough to warrant such summary action as he might take. For if any official in the Estate could mete out justice to fellow spartyman who might deserve it we think the governor is the best qualified.
 There is bound to be all sorts of political conniving at the Capitol this year. It would be necessary for certain amount of it to be engaged in for the progress of beneficial leg islation. There are many important issues be- fore the General Assembly requiring not merely careful study but some ability in carrying them out. If committees are to do their work of recommending or disproving of measures more controversial appointments can't hold up the legislative machinery. As consequence there must be necessary amount of dekering back and forth be- tween the leaders of the two major political parties. The divided control of the two branches of the Legislature also neeessitates this action.
 It is perhaps unfortunate that control of the Senate by the democrats rests upon .one solitary vote. This in itself is a handi- cap to majority rule. But if it is hindranee to the democrats it isn't much better to the republicans. They can only act as drag And that's just what the people of the state arsn't hankering to see any more. They are tired of obstructive political policies. They are tired of man dictatorship. The sue- eesses of the democrats in the last two state elections were indications that new era was coming Why spoil it all now with senseless display of petty jealousies and per- soha feelings. Let the democrats and re- publieans in the Legislature get together, work out their differences, and push through some progressive legislation.

Our Daily Washington Letter
 Progressive Economy Program Seen
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

tinct from currency imitation, and the charges would be borne large- ly by the rich" with help from those with moderate incomes.
 A declaration by Roosevelt for sound currency, advocated by Tug well, would reassure conservatives and probably would please every. one except the infiationist minority which, however, includes some of Roosevelt's most ardent sup porters among western and south- ern democrats.
 On the other hand, reduction in interest rates and public utility rates, which Tugwell desires, would have to Do sold to the in- vesting class.
 Lower interest rates would re- duce the burden of debt-just as 1t has cancelled Q large part of the European war debt. Past repub- iican administrations have gener- ally been In favor of .the utilities and havo done little if anything to affect their rate structures.
 Tugwell's advocacy of balance ing the budget concerns only cur- rent expenditures, which means that public works outlays, govern ment loans and other long-term inc vestmonts would be charged to an account separate from running exponses. Liberal economists have been urging this plan for some time.
 The farm allotment plan Is al- 50 favored by Roosevelt. but the form in which 1t passed the house has frightened many students and there are quito q few progressiyes who think 1t would Do Q danger- ous thing to put in operation.

So Now He's Not Jealous

Jealousy is an evil which can de- stroy all of the happiness of love. But 1t isn't a deeply instinctive trait which all lovers are bound 70 feel; on the contrary, people or good sense can eradicate 1t com pietely if they will only try.
 These fruits of knowledge are plucked from Jealousy" a mover by Norah c. James.
 This story tells how Catherine, gently-born and sensitive, marries Michael, who owns q prospering printing shop in London. Catherine Is 0 widow; her first husband, Ell, was wildly and insanely Jealous or her, and finally shot himself to death after breeding over this and that 0 bit too much.
 So when Catherine discovers that Michael, too, has Q strong Jealous streak, she decides she had better stay single. She loves Michael but she insists on preserving her own individuality. She won't have even Q huband inquiring into her com ings and goings, her friendships and her private interests. So Michael gets the air.
 And then Michael gets on to him. self. He goes off to Sweden to mediate, and concludes that jeal- ousy Is all wrong. If you love someone enough, he tells himself, anything that makes that person happy makes you happy. Jealousy Is only combination of vanity and seliishness. So, ct last, purged of Jealousy, Michael comes back. Catherine forgives him, they chase off to Gretna Green to get mar ried--and there we are.
 'Jeaiousy" is published by Co., vicI- -Briede and retails at $2.60.

every other state of the union continue to groan under the bur den imposed upon him to pay Tor this super-bureaucrat form of government into which we have been drifting for years.
 The mania for creating com missions and bureaus was never more in evidence than 1t has been throughout the weeks during which the general assembly ac- eepted new business. If new legie- lation of any kind was required 1t called first for inquiry by c com mission, or else c bureau was bes lieved necessary to carry out whatever the legislator had in mind. one bill for example pro- posed buying c state park site for S20,000.

And 1t is not at eil unlikely that ths seauentiy ask that . bureau be created within tho state Parks and forest commission to super vise this particular park. Sheer nonsense!
 Certainly the establishment: of commissions and tho creation or bureaus within. bpreaus is not characteristic of the. direct way the Connecticut Yankee once had of doing business. Time was wh9n we enjoyed c reputation for being able to negotiate an advantageous business deal without frlils or fur- bellows. Wo can lay claim to no such shrewdneas and aeunlen now. We have drifted far in the past decade or 50. It is high time we returned to earth and got rid of the craze for more and more bureaus and commissions and other symbols Of luxury or folly, We need fewer old ones, not more aaW AaAH.
