have right to ask anyone we
please to aid us in exercising our
right of franchise. But like many
other evil things that seem limo
cent, the law is not innocent; for
the reason that it throws the door

for votes; then to go to the polls
on voting day, stand there and
wait for each bought voter to
come up and call for the vote

pernicious election law, the vote
buyer can go, into the booth with
the voter whose vote he has
bought, mark his ballot for him
and pay him off right in. the
booth. And the officials in charge
of the polls are helpless to stop
the crime.

PLANNED ECONOMY AT ARTHURpALE

For nearly year past little squibs of news have
been coming out of Washington about progress on
the subsistence homestead colonies that the Public
Works Administration financing among unenn-
plbyed West Virginia miners Most of these little
items were penned by members of Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt's reportorial encourage and were as
work as they were explicit in their quotations Of
Mrs. Roosevelts expressions of interest and salts
faction. 1t appears now, not only from ''Fhe Sat-
.urday Evening Posts" devastating analysis of this
laboratory sample of planned economy but from
the Interior DEPARTMENTS confession, that 'nis-
takes have been made" that the writer's of these
foggy reports, if not unobservant or careless,
deliberately mercful. ~,
The Arthurdale experiment is little matter, in
yofving in this one instance mere half million
dollars, more or less, of the publics money with
relatively modest Congressional appropriation of
S25,000,0O0 behind it, so it may seem that Mr..
Wesley Stout, the POSTS Investigator, used a
needlessly heavy and unchivalrous ak to rend the
gossamer that yelled Mrs. Roosevelts venture in
good works. There is nne consideration, however,
that justifes Mr.. Stout's ruthless exposure of the
pitiful, ludicr0us ineficiency of the governments

that the laboratory material for this fumbling ex-
pertinent is not only the humber, stone, concrete

that any voter needing help in
marking his ballot may have any
member of his family assist him;
but if he selects some one outside
of his family to help him. that
person must make an affidavit
before the precinct registrar that
he will not attempt to influence
the voter in marking his ballot,
nor will he divulge how the bal
lot was marked. Furthermore dur

more than one voter in ballot

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
NEW DEAL AUDIT

| Yesterday at Green Bay, President Roosevelt
crossed the Rubicon. He re-entered the American
nolitica arena with definite and deliberate DEN
sance of demands that he halt the New Deal. He
made it clear not only that he is not stopping OF
turn;np To. the right but that he is going ON and
if anything turning to the left He refused tNtq
restore confidence by assurances to business tnat
II ..wrnIld Be 'left alonep or permitted again 20
onerate under "the old law of the tooth andotne
claw. " =,
Moreover, he emphasized the break with conserV-
atism nv abandoning his own party in Wisconsin
and endorsing a Republican progressive Senator
I.aFollette who has supported the administration.
Here is 4; gesture which may become as Poiiticany
significant as that with which another kooseVest
fnsssa his Bull Moose hat in the ring. 1t is PLAIN
notice that the President puts his program ahead
of party ties. More than that, it indicates that
he is ready to antagonize conservative opinion
enough to carry through the rest Of his plans
Mr., Roosevelt apparently thinks of ihis Admins
tration still as the humble instrument" of the
great national movement that eliminated in 1882.
There is some danger in that assumption. The
people undoubtedly gave Mr.. Roosevelt mandate
for change But it is not so certain that they are
altogether satisfied, either with the changes SO tar
Wrought or Will tnOSe 49,
Presidents own splendid confidence which helped
so much in 1883 will not serve so well today Inc
country is less frightened and more critical
He is right in denying that confidence depends
ON giving free rein to exploters and in saying that
those who would measure confidence must look
to the average man. Yet all who want freer buSl-
ness are not exploiters and today the average man
has questions about the New Deal that he did not
have a wear ago He knows that some portions of
it have been conflicting in purpose, as, for exam
pie, NRA and AAA have shown themselves to be.
BE knows that some parts of it are harder to put
into effect than prohibition. He has begun to see
that a. tremendous expansion of federal services
is hazardous business when reforms must be ad-
ministered by personnel undermined by the
"spoils system" s,,.. u.
Moreover, the citizen is confused by the multi
plicity of projects launched by the government:
And many who have the utmost sympathy with
The, ideals of honest business and social Justice,
and even with some specific measures under the
New Deal, are profoundly distrustful of some of
the fundamental trends which they believe, they
perceive in the Administrators course.
The President would advance his high purpose
better by clarifying the New Deals program and
purifying its administration than by reiteration of
his belief that the people are for it.-Christian
