ADVERTISING TO PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN
RECOVERY

General Hugh S. Johnson, administrator of the
Industrial Recovery Act advocates advertising IS
a most important factor in the recovery act, and
makes the following statement.
advertising is certain to be an important fac
tor in the new industrial relationship established
under the terms of the industrial recovery act.
I'm its effects, the law will bring to the fore the
sales problems of the manufacturer and will en-
phasize the Importance of an accurate knowledge
of his remarks Good advertising will become more
essential than ever 1t will be in a position to help
the business executive avoid those wasteful and
expensive practices in selling which so often add
needless costs to needed products.
Good advertising is opposed to senseless price
cutting and to unfair competition. There are two
business evils which we hope to reduce under the
new plan of business administration
Constructive selling competition will be as
strong as ever and there will be great need for
aggressive sales and advertising efforts. The only
kind of competition that is going to be leSsened i2
the destructive, cut-throat kind of competition
which harms industry and the public well. There
should be more competition than ever in present
ing quality products to consumers and in selling
those products What we are going to need more
than ever is energetic, intelligent, honest efforts
to sell goods to people who to use them"

FAITH IN WASHINGTON

Faith is focused upon Washington in these STIR

be.
But it would be unfortunate, if not fatal, were
America, by virtue of this essential and nescapa-
bic experiment in centralized authority to lose its
faith in the Democratic units of the state, the
county and the city.
Grover Cleveland, ragged, stalwart apostle of
undiluted democracy, held to the theory that a
maximum of self-governmeut was the basis upon
which democracy could survive.
Gan enlightened people can be trusted to govern
themselves" was of his pungent phrases on this
point
Faith in the state must not be lost if popular
government is to endure. In the checkered history
of this republic, the greater part of all reforms
and proposed changes in organic law have been
instituted by the states

THE DECENT ELEMENT ORGANIZED

The racketeer is successful becauhe he is organ
The racketeer is successful because ne is organ

That was the assertion of Dean Justin Miller q
the School of Law of Duke University, at the In
ternational Police Convention in Chicago.
Which seems like curious statement Tor an IN
structor in the law and its enforcement.
Apparently we were wrong in supposing that our
departments of justice our courts and prosecuting
officers our police and sheriff's departments, were
parts of the organization of the decent element of
society, which Dean Miller tells the police of all
the world-and incidentally informs the rest
of us-is not organized and is therefore helpless

But this is false and vicious idea IN govern

Government is or should be the decent element

And It is high time that the decent element beat
this idea into the brains of the police, the courts,
and all who have to do with the enforcement of
law and the punishment of crime.
They are the representatives of the decent ee-

THE DANGER OF GOVERNMENTAL RELIEF

The new farm bill is swinging slowly into action.
The government will undertake to balance produc-
ton and demand to improve the farmers financial
condition to ease the burden of mortgages and to
raise the prices of his produce.
While this may be temporarily beneficial it will
be permanently harmful, if the farmer, as an indi-
vdual, comes to depend on government to solve
his problems and smooth his path. That is always
the trouble with governmental aid measures no
matter how carefully they drawn-they are apt
to create feeling of dependence in the beneficiary
that leaves him helpless when aid has been taken
away.
The wise farmer will recognize the bill for what
it is-an effort to carry him through a critical
period and give him hand in Strengthening out
mis- troubles that he may stand on his feet there
after Lasting farm progress comes from the farm
er's efforts. 1t must be the reflection of his
own win, his aggressiveness, his own courage,
if it is to be permanent.
During the next few years there is one agency
that will be of vital importance-the farm coop
erative 1t is the agency through which the indi-
vidual farmer. in company with his neghbors, may
fight his own battles and win his victories.
Long after governmental relief is no longer neces-
sary, the cooperative will remain. No matter how
often we may change our ideas of what attitude
government should take toward the farmer, the
cooperative idea is fixed and will not be disodged
And this is the time for farmers to work their
hardest in advancing.-Florence Is. c. News.
