NEWSPAPERMEN IN THE ROLE
OF LEGISLATORS
THE Minnesota Daily

A press dispatch states that there
are % newspapermen in the new
Swedish parliament. The Swedish
people evidently have a good deal of
faith in their newspapermen as they
we'll may have. Few people have
such a close and constant contact
with the public. The newspaperman,
if he is good one, is acquainted with
all the problems of his locality and
usually has good grasp on the ques-
tions of far-reaching significance.
The early governmental history of
America is closely interviewer with
the early history of its newspapers.
A large number of the first news
papers were political organs created
by men DESTROYS of gaining for them
selves place in government and will
ling to sacrifice themselves in cham
piOning a cause. From the days of
Benjamin Franklin down to the pres
ent time newspapermen have played
a vital part in our legislative affairs.

permental Senators of the radical
wing"
The beer bill Is due for examina-
ton by the Senate this week. An
effort to jam it through without pro-
longed debate appears unlikely to
succeed. The suggestions of allied
farm organizations for relief do not
appear to have a chance. The farm
groups want six months mOrator-
ium on mortgages as an interval for
adjustment; local debt arbitration
committees to help debtors and cred
itors make voluntary adjustments;
funds from the r. F. c. of Federal
Land banks to aid refinancing. In
addition the farmers want the domes-
tic allotment plan giving a bonus for
crops sold in this country. The re-
organization of government depart
ments as an economy move has struck
snag in the house. The Democrats
are determined to balance the budget
"a tremendous task.
1t is generally recognized that the
prestige enjoyed by the banking fra
ternity has lost much of its effective
ness during the last three years. A
beautiful and impressive myth. which
set the bankers above their fellows
for their astuteness, has been dissi-
pated by the turn of the economic
wheel. Bankers are now on the de-
fensive and find themselves where
they must sell their services to the
doubling public. Through the opera
sions have greatly diminished and
with the return of confidence the
boarding of currency has decreased.
The Comptroller of the Currency, who
has supervision over banks, recently
informed Congress that the country
banker is so situated that his field
for loans has narrowed until many
are operating under a severe handi-
cap. With reorganizatiOns demanding
increased efficiency the future cOun-
try banks are expected to improve.
Sectionalism and patronage, hand
maidens of politics, pop up in connec-
ton with the numerous government
buildings now under construction or
projected in Washington and other
favored localities. The ancient feud
between the SupplierS of limestone
and granite is kept raging with petit
tions to Congress. 1t is one of the
troubles which the new Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury in charge of
public works will inherit. Indiana
and New England and occasionally a
few southern states have much to say
about building materials.

WASHINGTON Letter

Dv " ODaley

Washington, January 4-Fresh from
short holiday the President and
Congress are buckling down to face
the heavy problems of the next two
months. Desks are piled with i'm
portant papers but it is safe to pre-
dict the business will be juggled over
to the incoming Administration and
the new session. 1t is unfortunate
for the public that office-holders have
assumed an Indifferent policy simply
because they realize their official
duties will end March A. Unless the
public demands action the next sixty
days will be devoted largely to shad-
ow-boxing. Perhaps this attitude is
responsible for the enactment Of the
Norris amendment which, when rati-
fed by the states, will shorten the
careers of "lame-ducks" to January
first and save the country valuable
time.
Current proposals for general
sales tax as means of raising Fed
eral revenues has been received with
alarm in business quarters. Business
men are frankly worried by the agi.
tation because it vitality affects their
production schedules and price lists
The uncertainty is bound to stall of
an upward trend in employment and
agreed that eleven million are un-
employed. Advocates of sales taxes
are just as far apart at this session
as they were when Congress debated
the original plan. Unless there is q
sudden turn for harmony sales tax
bill will not be approved before
March 4.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
FACT OR THEORY!
(The Minnesota Daily

Since the beginning of newspaper
publishing there hardly has been such
thing as freedom of the press"
Today the press has less freedom than
century ago. 1t is hampered by the
dictates of large advertisers, by the
limitations of news services. by pO-
litical connections and by many other
special interests.
The International Association of
Journalists recently submitted to the
League of Nations report urging a
freer access to news events and lar
ger freedom from outside non-journal-
istic control, governmental and other
wise. Editors of newspapers which
handle large amounts of International
news find it difficult to get accurate
and unbiased reports of happenings in
many foreign countries Many of the
foreign news services are in such
close contact with the government of

that the Washington correspondents
of the newspapers could give the peo-
pie better representation and bet
ter government than Congress now is
doing. Without disparaging the work
of Congress, it may be admitted that
this statement contains truth. Ours
is a representative government. Few
individuals, are better able to repre-
sent the public. to reflect it's views,
than this body of newspapermen with
their close contacts through hundreds
of local papers. The peculiar fitness
of newspapermen for legislative work
is a thing which should be recognized
not only by the electorate but by the
newspapermen themselves. If news
papermen took uncensOred part in
governmental affairs it would result
in a better informed press and a
closer cooperation between officials
and their severest critics, the news

GOODBYE 1892

In ones daily routine of life it is
often heard from various lips that
there are no regrets to the passing OF
the old year-1932. Certain it is that
the past twelve months have held
little happiness for the masses of the
world. In some parts human beings
have been shot down in battle and in
practically every place general hard
times have been felt. In view of this
it is no small wonder that no regrets
are felt for the passing of 1882.
But what of the future? Will the
next IL months bring any new hopes
or relief for the masses? That is a
dark mystery. Many newspaper writ
ers claim that times are on the grad
ual ascent to normally again, arguing
that this time a year ago unemplOy-
ment was increasing while this year
il is gradually lessening. Whether
this is just flash in the pan re-
mains to be seen. But certainly some
thing will have to be done to bring
back commodity prices for the agri-
cultural communities and to increase
or in other words place them back at
work.
One encouraging fact at the present
time is the activity of the best minds
in the country to find way to bring
back better conditions. This is al
right as far as it goes, but actions
will count more. However, it is some
thing in the right direction when much
thought and study is directed toward
methods of bringing back the Ions
looked for prosperity for when thought
Is given to anything with sufficient
sincerity, action will follow sooner or
later and it is difficult to believe that
a brighter day will not come to a
world as far advanced in civilization
as this of the present day.

tion. e
Does not the real trouble lie with
our unit of value"-the dollar? A
reduction in the amount of gold in the
dollar is not unthinkable. Certain
European nations have stabilized
their units on a lower basis, why not
America? A lighter weight dollar
would raise prices, reduce debts, scale
down taxes, maintain wages, lessen
costs of transportation, make it easier
for Europe to pay her debts to us,
stimulate trade, increase corporate
earnings and start the wheels of in
dustry again.

IMMIGRATION THEN AND NOW
(St. Paul Dispatch

The depression is producing memoir
able changes in the immigration phase
of American history.
Facts revealed by immigration sta
| tistics of today would have been DEEM
ed impossible number of decades
ago. The annual report of the Com
missioner General of immigration,
just published, shows that immigra-
ton during the last fiscal year was
reduced to the lowest point since
1881 and depOrtations brought to a
new peak. Only few more than
$4,000 aliens were admitted to the
United States for permanent residence
between July, 1881, and June 80, 1882.
This contrasts startingly with the peak
year 1907 when over a million and a
quarter immigrants were admitted.
The great decline from this high fig
ure has taken place in the depression
period. The reduction can be largely
attributable to the order of two years
| ago to refuse visas in all but the
most meritorious" cases. 1t is a sys-
tenn which. as it were, nips immigra-
| tion in the bud.
Although recommendation is made
by the Commissioner for a system
that would select such immigrants as
we need instead of taking them as
they come, the policy of restrictive
immigration will be sure to prevail
heretofore in some measure, no mat
ter what the economic changes. The
important thing for the future is to
find an intelligent basis and one bet
ter suited to needs of the country in
normal times than exists.

CERMAK FILLS THE BILL

To recent time, Chicago has suf-

afflicted American centers of popu-
lation. She has had nepotism in
politics, widespread graft, universal
racketeering, subserviency to all sorts
of vice, bandit control, tax strike.
unpaid public servants and uncon-
trolled sale of intoxicants except as
regulated by organized outlaws. No
exception need be noted in her list Of
misfortunes.
The public of that center were in
different until bandits began to enter
private homes, make captives of the
family and then do as suited them with
their victims and their property. Peo-
pie who had wealth enough began to
plan to fortify their dwellings and put
armed retainers on guard at the doors
and windows, entrance to be had only
on countersigns.
Things became so bad that they
could scarcely get worse. Well-mean-
ing people actually began to conspire
to protect themselves and save their
city. They were surprised to find out
that the well-meaning were numerous
and that if they got together, faced
the evils boldly and put honest men
on guard, the city might be saved.
One of the steps taken was the cleo
tion of Mayor Cermak- The public
has not been disappointed in him.
He set his face against all sorts of
banditry, especially that sort which
