ENDING A VICIOUS SYSTEM.

The system of having special organization of agents and officers to enforce the National Pro- hibition Act established 13 years ago by Congress, under the scourge of the then enthroned Dry min critics and which will end next Saturday in far as Alaska is concerned, inherently vicions. No than the law that gave it being did 1t ever have a rightfu place in the American Federal governmental structure. It did much to breed criminality it did to suppress crime. And there were times that it seemed if the desire was to set thieves to catch other thieves with the result that the chief sufferer was the the law abiding, honest and honorable citizen.
 Operating under law that made for national hypocrisy it was not to be wondered at that it embraced hyprocrits, snoops spies, agents provo cateur and stool pidgeons in it's ranks. Of course. it had honest agents whose. efficiency and efforts to enforce an unenforceable statute wholly misplaced in the Constitution. in dignifed and traditionally American manner only made the iniqutes of the system stand out the more significantly. When its history shall have been finally and completely written for posterity, the most shameful blotch on the nations law enforcement record will be exposed.
 One of the most outstanding features Of the splendid administration of former Gov. George A.

A Shifting Scene.

The exhausted and mostly bewildered members |of Congress must take with them from Washing

 Our hired men have borne all the burdens, and |of late the heats, of the day with a surprising
 good cheer and docility It has been collective,
 almost mpersonal, performance. Only very few
 of them have had any slight chance of individual
 distinction in these amazing three months just con-
 cluded. They have had to be good solders-and
 have been such up to practically the last moment. There may be marshals batons hidden in some knapsacks but they yet to be revealed. The final slight ruffling of the amenity that had existed from the outset a quite natural lebullition at the end of session that was extra ordinary in every Tempers may be cooler lby January. Also the pressure from the organized veteran quarters may be expected to be much less formidable it doubtless reached it's high level of exacton in Saturdays last-minute compromise. The integrity of the budget should by next winter be a firmly settled cardinal principle.
 So both Government and country pass from one | climactic stage to another. The transition is from great enacting to a great administering epoch. The great mass of novel legislation created

Choice of Family Physician Is Important

! least four years of thorough tram
ing?
There was time when there were
more medical schools in the United
States than in all the rest Of the
world. We had almost 200 medical
schools in this country around 1900.
Today, there are fewer than eighty
medical colleges in the United States
and the vast majority of these are
rated as Glass A by the council on
medical education and hospitals Of
the American Medical Association.
A Glass A college is one with a
certain definite number Of full-time
teachers and with well-established,
graded curriculum.
1t requires at Least two years OF
college education previous to med
icine, four years Of medical educa-
ton Of approximately nine months
each, and one or two years Of in
terneship after graduation before
the prospective physician can get
his diploma.
In subsequent articles I shall dis
cuss in more detail the choosing Of
the family physician.
Next: The qualifications your
1 family doctor should have.

his own source Of supply Just the same. The
arrival Of the shorter work week gives him
ample time to cultivate his garden and look

He does not need to spend as much on his

every way.

To be sure. It may not work out as ex-

It is quite possible, for example. that 1t will

farmer. It may lead the worker into debt and
give him more worries than he already has
There are half dozen ways in which it may
prove impractical.

ONE after another the industrial codes are
~ brought 70 Washington and slipped into
place. and as the framework Of a new So
ciety thus is being erected. piece by piece. we
who stand On the sidelines only can pray
that the thing is going to work smoothly
when il IS finished
Back Of all the negotiations arguments,
and maneuverngs which are producing these
codes there looms one great fact
Our economic system can survive in
recognizable form only II the whole popu-
lation Of the country is Kept pretty steadily
al work at living wage
It is recognition of this fact that has led
an essentially conservative community 10 en-
bark on an experiment which would have
seemed. to most people. that height of radical
folly as recently as a year ago
And it is only By keeping this fact con-
stantly before our eyes that We shall be able
to make go Of the program now being at
tempted
All our fine talk about economies CO.
operation. price levels. and all the rest comes
down to that. in the end People must have
jobs, and the jobs must pay them enough so
that they can buy the things that they pro-
duce. Unless we find some way accomplishing
that our eventual collapse seems certain.
Viewed in this light the administrations
program is clearly the very essence Of cor
servation. Nothing less than what nov is
being tried could have been attempted The
old system must be modified at least as
greatly as the new deal" modifies it If it is
to survive at all
A good many years ago Abraham Lincoln
warned that the nation could not continue
to exist half slave and half free. Both the
compromisers and the die-hards tried to find
way of getting around that unpleasant
truth. and the disaster of the Civil war was
the result
Today we are facing the fact that the ma
ton can not continue to exist half prosper
Gus and half destitute. There is one way out
and only one: To provide Jobs at decent
wages, to keep purchasing power level with
production.

experiment we are making or if we let ris-
ing prices fool us into the belief that times

KIDNAPERS' QUALMS

THERE appears 70 be some doubt whether
any money was paid for the release of
77-year-old August Luer Alton md banker,
also whether the kidnapers really were after
him or his brother or son But what Mr.
Luer saws were the parting words OF his cap
tors when they let him go are significant:
Wed never have touched you, pop, If we'd
known YOU were so weak and sick"
Not that We try to find any milk of human
kindness in the remark. But 1t goes to show
that some kidnapers are genuinely terrified of
having their victims die on their hands. let
alone intending to murder them.
Though there have been tragic exceptions.
there is also much evidence to support the
theory that few kidnapers would be such fools
as to risk their necks with a murder when
finally convinced there was no money to be
gained
The motive for most kidnapping is merely
sordid. When it comes TO facing dire risk.
most kidnapers are doubtless as cowardly as
the cringing gangsters who turn up in other
forms of racketeering
AS risks increase and more ransoms are
refused the deyilish trade will diminish Con-
certed police work relentless prosecution
swift punishment will do more than ANYTHING
else TO persuade the public that ransoms
should not and need not be paid.

It Seems
to Me
BY HAYWOOD BROUN

NEW YORK. July 22-There's
~ no fool like a Republican. In
Alabama the state chairman sent a
last-minute message 70 his not TOO
numerous cohorts. urging them 10
vote against repeal.
President Roosevelt IS for it, ne
said. That is all We need 10 know.
II It Is a Democratic measure. good
Republicans should oppose It."
This same philosophy should serve
TO mark the last DAYS OF the G o.
P. If il is carried to its logical con-
clusion. Surely the organization
which has ruled so long in America
hardly can come back 10 life again
by pursuing a policy Of pure mega
ton.
I am not disposed 10 mourn the
passing Of the Republican party. II
had its inevitable time and place in
the economic history Of America. but
at the moment il possesses no slogan
around which to rally its forces in
1886.
The only numerous elements I'm
revolt against the administration are
the drys and the diSgruntled vet
Grams. ANY Republican leader who
attempts TO capitalize on the cuts
made in allowances will have 70 eat

M. Says:

IN no line of business is overproduction more
apparent than in that of oil. We are able TO
consume but a small fraction of the available
supply Through legislation as we'll as volun-
tary agreements the output has been curtailed
drastically.
Some fields are not allowed to sell more than
per cent Of their potential flow In two states
the militia has been called out to enforce re-
strictive provisions.
Under such conditions. oil men would be
justified in resting on their oars but they do not
see it that way They realize that such con-
ditionS are temporary and that. from a sound
business standpoint, this is the time to get set
for expansion.
They not only are opening new fields in this
country. but are sending out scouts and geolo-
gists all over the world In spite of overproduc-
ton unemployment and poor markets. these
forward-looking men are planning and building
for bigger future.
Hardly month or a week passes without
news that one or another Of our great oil COM
panies has found new field. or been granted
a new concession in some foreign land.
ON July Is dispatch was received from
~ Jeddah telling how the Standard Oil Com
pany OF California had been granted a con-
cession by Ibn Suad for the exclusive right ia
exploit the oil fields of eastern Arabia.
One would like to read the inside story to
is bound to be romance and adventure back of
this curious transaction.
Who got the ear OF Ibn Suad. and how? WHY
does he prefer TO deal with an American rather
than a British oil company? Where did the
American company find representatives suffi-
GENTLY familiar with Arabic affairs to negotiate
the deal?
Meanwhile. one is glad to know that in
dustrial leaders have not lost their vision or
courage that they believe in better times. and
that they have not succumbed to the philosophy
Of progress by means q curtailment, or isola-
ton.
A S long as hard-headed business executives
I n in this country dare TO seek fortune in the
Arabian desert and bet their money on the
prospect Of converting wild tribesmen TO the
use OF automobiles and electric lights We can
have faith in the vitality Of civilization.
AS matter Of common sense. trade recovery
Is much more dependent on carrying modern
comforts and convenienceS TO those people who
lack them than on the reduction Of output in
more highly civilized lands.
More than half the human race still lives in
primitive way. II is TO that half that We must
look for markets Progress never has and never
can feed on itself The problem now confront
ing modern industry is one Of wide distribution.
We are paying altogether too much attention
to the fact that some people have all they need.
What we should be thinking about is the fact
I that many more people have far less than they
need.
II Is not only our privilege. but our duty to
! see that all backward sections are brought into
/ line with civilized life. In no other way can
we provide markets for this machine age or lay
| the foundation for peace.

TOO MANY CLOSED BANKS

CLOSED banks are not being opened quickly
enough. As a result much needed mass
purchasing power is withheld The Com
mittee for the Nation and other organiza-
tons report that business revival is tagging
specially in communities where unfavorable
banking conditions exist
No one is asking for the opening of m
sound banks. Unsafe institutions should be ont
But a large number of the closed banks
have had their reorganization plans approved
by proper governmental authorities. In such
cases either red tape, or unnecessary DELAY in
detail work, is postponing eventual opening
of the banks
In commercial banks alone about two and
half billion dollars in deposits are frozen.
Though the government is proud of having cut
the figure in half from the peak of five billions
the balance remains far too large for the eco
nomic health of the country.
Not only are these frozen deposits held out
Of circulation. but almost as bad is the state of
fear and uncertainty which spreads from the
closed banks to infect entire communities.
OF course all this is we'll known to govern
ment officials. But most of them have been
very busy with other problems. 1t is to be
hoped that they can concentrate soon on the
quick reopening of all sound banks

He finds it difficult to enumerate the vari-

We excuse all this on the ground that life
has become complicated. but many of the
complications are artificial and arbitrary. In
stead of trying to simplify and coordinate our
system Of government we have subdivided it.

of laws and regulations, many of which con-
flict with one another.
Much Of the authority exercised by cities
better could be handed over 70 the states and
much of that exercised by the states better
could be handed over to the federal govern

Why should every town have a different
system of traffic rules and what profit is there
in hundred different building codes for COM
munities of practically the same size in the

When you get down to brass tacks. liberty
is vastly more dependent on system than on

Depression has awakened lis to the pres

tempting to bring system out of chaos through
simpliied rules and uniform methods. The
same idea proitaby could be applied to

Public service in this country is a hundred
years behind the times This is due largely
to the lack of intelligent management. to the
continuance Of practices that became obsolete
in the Civil war, to the failure of government
to keep pace with ordinary everyday life.
