POLITICS AND BUSINESS

The most popular sport among
politicians is trying to make the
public believe that all bubsiness
men are crooks while all politicians
are models of virtue. That, at
least, seems to be a fair conclusion
from the tenor Of some of the
many investigations which have
been going on in Washington. Of
course, a part of the game, also,
is to show up the politicians of the
other party as crooks.
That is all we'll understood
among politicians as an effective
means of getting votes and power.
If they ear convince the average
voter that their party, whichever
it may be, is the only nj compos-
ed Of honest men, then they figure
they can keep their crowd in Of
flee. And if they can make the
voters believe that business men
are all dishonest, then they stand a
chance Of getting popular backing
for schemes to have business con-
Quoted by the Government
We wonder how much the poll
ticians of either party fool the pub
lie in the long run. 1t seems to
us that the net effect of this sort
of tactics is to create a rather cy-
nical state of mind toward all men
in public office. The average man
has come to believe that there is no
such thing as honesty in politics,
and is concerned more with what
he can get out of it for himself
than with any particular set OF
principles.
As to the comparative honesty
of politicians and business men,
we think most folk would rather
take a chance with the standards
of honesty which prevail in bust
ness than with those accepted by
public office-holders. Fundament-
ally, no one class is more honest
than another; each has its percent
age of crooks. But in business it
is, as Benjamin Franklin pointed
out, the best policy to be honest
There is little in our political hi
tory to suggest that honesty pays
a premium in politics.

BUSINESS D SHOW
RISES

For a number of consecutive
weeks, standard business indicators
have shown advances.
Car-loadings, steel output, cleo
trio power production, life insur-
ance sales, construction contracts,
the wholesale commodity price
all are up. An encouraging sign
is that the advance has not been
sporadic and erratic-it has been
gradual and is apparently the re-
suit Of a general strengthening of
the nations economic foundations.
Much remains to be done-in-
dustrial convalescence isn't here.
But recovery seems to have start

INCOME ON THE RISE

FARM INCOME ON H RISE
Farm income in 1888 was ST.
FAC, 900 ,ooo greater than in 1922
"a jump of "a per cent.
The chief reasons for this, &C
cording to the Department of Ag-
riculture press service, were in
creased prices for crops, and bene-
fit and rental payments by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration. And it should likewise
be remembered that the farmer's
great allies in raising and stabilizing
prices, and in framing govern
mental farm legislation, were the
farm cooperatives.
The co-ops entered 1888 after
one of the worst years in agricul-
tural history-a year in which
farm income was at the bottom.
They went forward courageously
and undismayed. They fought the
farmers battles with the middle
man-they brought his point OF
view before the public and won its
sympathy-they conferred with
governmental officials on all man
ner of matters directly and indi-
rectly affecting agriculture. They
were a steadying factor when
the farm strikes broke out, and
they stood solidly on the side of
law and order and reasoned action
as distinct from violence.
The ~cooperatives deserve a world
Of credit. They did much in 1888.
And now, with the new year well
started, they are going on to great
er, more permanent achievements.

WHO FILLS THE PUBLIC


Some day lawmakers and tax
spenders will wake up to the fact
that it is the private citizen, pri-
vate investor and private employer
on whom they must depend to fill
the public treasures. Instead of
hamstringing him at every turn
they will find it necessary to en-
courage him in order that they
may be able to collect the money
to pay the terrific tax bills they
run up against the people.
Throughout the nation, security
owners are banding together to de-
mand protection of their savings
from tax and legislative confisca-
ton.

WE BELIEVE IN AMERICA

We get a little tired sometimes
of hearing people run down Am
erica. In the newspapers and
magazines that come to our atten-
tom we see many articles which
appear to have been written for
the purpose of making readers be-
lieve that the United States is on its
last legs, that we have got to dis
card everything that has been done
in the past and change the whole
nation over into something model
ed on Russia or Italy or Germany,
or we're going to be sunk. And
there is no end to the books, novels
and others, whose whole theme is
that we Americans are a pretty
low-grade, incompetent set OF ig-
noramuses, lacking in 'culture"
and intelligence, not to be COM
pared with the enlightened and
highly-cultured citizenry of other
nations.
We do not believe the authors of
these books, stories and articles
mean precisely what they seem to
imply. If we thought 50 for a
minute we would be glad to join j
movement to Danish them to these
other countries that they think
.=e Sc superior to our own. Right
ly understood, much of this sort
of talk springs from the peculiarly
American passion for self-improve-
ment. 1t has its roots in the same
urge that sent our ancestors from
other countries to. this one, the
urge to find a better way of life.
These gentlemen see defects in our
civilization-which everyone must
admit there are-and by magnify
ing those defects hope that the
public will be sufficiently stirred
up to do something about than.
But the net effect of their d:atribcs
upon the young and impressicaable
is to make them feel inferior to
the people of other lands, ard to
regard their country as rather a
low sort of a place in With to
live.
There is nothing wrong with
America! We say that in the full
knowledge that there are still a
great many persons out of work,
a great many people who have a
nard struggle to make both ends
meet. Whatever is wrong with
America, we are ten ii ocs better
off than the people Of any othc-
country we know anything ,,tour.
And, whatever may be wrong With
our country, there is a distinctly
American way of fixing it, an che
American people now, as they have
always done in the past, will! find
and apply, their own remedies,
which will not be remedies pre-
scribed by either DR.. Stain, DR.
Hitler or Dr.. Mussolini.
