EXPLOITING FOLLY
Tampa Tribune)

(Iampa Trlbune)
Governor ShOltZ demands that the
state be ridded OF slot machines PLAYED
for money. No form of gambling gives the
player less chance of winning, yet this
laudable campaign is f0redoomed to defeat
in Dade county. Break up every machine
that is illegal and the flow of coins into the
pockets of slot machines will continue, al
most imperceptibly diminished. Vending
machines, approved by the courts al
though they give the worst bargain i'm
aginable in merchandising, make the un-
lawful type of device unnecessary.
If this condition becomes general, and
we suspect that it is now common to most
Florida cities, the spirit of our gambling
law must die, leaving only lifeless words.
Gambling now takes from our people
enough to retire the bonded debts they re-
gard as so hOpelessly oppressive. What
will it take once it becomes apparent that
circumvention of the gambling law is easy?
Our various governments then may be
expected to turn, under the compelling
force of mans folly, to the easiest way to
collect taxes. The state may install "vend-
ing machines" giving CONNECTIONS worth a
fraction Of a cent in return for nickel and
Turing customers by hope of winning a
jackpot of tokens averaging 20-cent re-
turn out of every dollar invested Or we
may turn, as other governments have, to
lotteries now forbidden by our Constitu-
ton. There is the example of our federal
government taking a heavy slice of the
winnings returned to it's citizens in foreign
lotteries, although it regards the game as
so reprehensble that it cannot be adver-
tised in the mails. The public conscience
has been trained to do some weird tricks
under the lash of money hunger.
Some may doubt that a government
STOPPING to such practices to gain support
is worth perpetuating, yet we get just
about as good government as we deserve.
1t is a reflection of the character of the
governed. The only sure way out seems
through educational effort to raise the
quality of our citizenship. And good be-
ginning is offered in the case of this
ubiquitous little pest that exploits our folly,
the slot machine.

PANICS AND THEIR REACTIONS

About SO years ago, Arthur T. Hadley,
who later became president of Yale, wrote
what is almost prophetic for the present
time A significant statement which had
no bearing on the economic condition, since
the dole did not exist then, is the ominous
warning that if the idea ever takes root
that it is the duty of the government to
take care of everybody, the consequence
will be that everybody will cease to take
care of himself.
He wrote the following after the panic
of 1884:
"A time of active speculation is almost
always followed by more or less severe
reaction. 1t is this reaction which con-
stiutes commercial crisis. This alterna-
ton between unhealthy activity and de-
preston, this ebb and flow ofethe industrial
life, constitutes one of the most serious
problems with which the political iec0no-
mist has to deal. The moral evils of the
period of speculation, and the material
evils of the crisis are alike fraught with
danger to the community
Legislation is of little avail against
these evils. The causes which produce
them lie beyond the sphere of effective
state interference. Legislation against
commercial crisis is about as effective as
legislation against chills and fever You
may provide good sewage by public au-
thority; but it rests with the individuals
whether they will bring themselves into
proper connection with the system. If
you legiSlate too much. you may weaken
Individual responsibility as to do more
harm than good
Once let the idea go forth that it is
the duty of the state to take care OF every
body. and everybody will cease TO take care
of himself.
There is another difficulty with such
attempts to limit speculation by law-the
impOsSibility of separating the bad from
the good. Speculation is a necessity of mod
ern life. Modern business involves large
risks; some one must take them. The inn
portant thing is that the risks should be
taken by men of Judgment to stand the pos
sible strains; and that men who lack the
Judgment and the property should not take
the risks
