MODERN GOVERNMENT

ONE Of the reasons why the new deal often
~ seems confusing is the fact that only now
are we beginning 10 bring our idea Of gov
eminent into line with economic changes
which took place several decades ago.
We started as an agrarian nation, in which
the great mass Of citizens always could earn
their living on the land if the government
only would leave them alone. Some years ago
we changed to an industrial civilization, in
which the prime necessity of the citizen was
a Job and not piece Of land but our con-
cept Of government remained unchanged.
Now we are trying to bring ourselves up to
date If the effort makes us giddy now and
then, it is no wonder.
Edward A. Filene, the Boston merchant,
recently pointed OUT in an address before the
American academy of political and social sci
ence that our delay in the accomplishments
of this job led inevitably to the creation of
that invisible government" against which re-
formers used to argue so hotly.
Some one, he remarks, had to control the
tangle in human relations which resulted when
our agrarian order changed to an industrial
order We did not believe that was job for
the regular government; so an invisible gov
eminent took shape to do the job, and it did
it badly because no one understood precisely
what had to be done.
The visible government, meanwhile con-
tinued to try to keep its hands off all de-
velopments of a rising industrialism In do
ing so. as Mr.. Filene remarks it found that
by keeping it's hands off it forever was find
ing its hands full.
And he adds: Because it refused to deal
with the causes of strikes, it was kept busy
with their effects. Because it did not deal
with the problem of unemployment, it had to
deal with the plight of the unemployed Be-
cause it had nothing to say about the dis
trbution of wealth, it constantly was con-
fronted with crises caused by inadequate dis
trbution, which some stick-in-the-m ira
ditionalists still refer to as overproduction. a."
What is happening now is simply that we
have come to realize the necessity of a new
relationship between government and indus
try This does not mean that the industrial
list is going to get soaked, or that a bureauc-
racy of busy bodies is going to run our facto-
ries and cur salesrooms and our banks.
1t just means that we are getting squared
away so that afull reaping of the incalculably
rich fruits OF great industrial era at last will
be possible.

; THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
THE LIQUOR TAX

TN passing liquor tax law congress wisely
L has thrown out the old Reed regulation
prohibiting publications containing liquor
advertisements from being mailed into dry
states. It also has reconsidered the ill-advised
attempt to use this legislation as a club
against foreign nations which have not paid
their war debts.
But whether congress has been equally wise
in its choice of tax rates remains to be seen.
The rates in this bill are reasonable enough If
they constituted the total tax But, when
added to sundry state liquor taxes. the total
in some cases may make it difficult for legal
liquor to compete with bootleg stuff To offset
this consideration, it was argued in congress
that low federal tax would defeat its purpose
by encouraging the tax-hungry states to levy
higher rates in order to get all the traffic will
bear.
This newspaper is convinced that there
can be no adequate solution Of the difficult tax
problem, either from the standpoint Of reve-
nue. or of bootleg elimination, until the federal
and state governments jointly agree to stop
tax duplication in favor of some apportion-
ing system Negotiations for that purpose
can not begin too soon.

REWARD is DUE

MOST Americans will agree that there is
Iva substantial justice in the plan to grant
Finland material reduction in its debt to
the United States.
Finland, in case you have forgotten, is the
one European nation which has been paying
its debt to this country punctually and fully
Finland is a small nation and poor one;
but while such great powers as France and
England have found their debt payments too
irksome to meet, Finland has paid 100 cents
on the dollar whenever a note fell due
Now the state department is negotiating
with the Finnish government for substan-
tial reduction in the debt Congress will
have to approve any such settlement, of
course to make it binding; but there is lit
tie doubt that congress will do it without de-
lay. European debtor that actually pays
its debts is a rare enough phenomenon to de-
serve special treatment.

CRITICISING the cop is one of Americas
- favorite indoor sports We like to remind
ourselves that cops frequently are dumb often
surly and rude. occasionally downright crooked.
We are apt to forget that the cop also very
often is hero.
There was cop in New York the other
day, named Ernest F. McCarron. There
wasn't anything unusual about him He was
80, he used to be professional prize fighter
he had attended the public schools as a boy,
and he spent his days pounding the pavement
ina quiet and uneXciting section of Brooklyn
He was just like any other harness bull;
you could have duplicated him on any police
force in America
Well, the other night McCarron was walk

when he saw flames and smoke coming from

Returning to the building, he found that

OUR YOUTH MOVEMENT

HERETOFORE the youth movement in
L colleges has been one largely in the
syncopated tempo of jazz The depression,
apparently, is teaching students, along with
the rest of us, that life is different.
At the recent and first annual national
conference on students in politics. the express
sions and resolutions we're disappointing to
those who look toward the campus for such
leadership as the universities of Latin Amer
lea and Europe supply. But they were en-
couraging in that they represented sincere
desire to understand the economic and po-
liticaI upheavals now shaking America.
Agriculture Secretary Henry Wallace, one
of the finest examples of the young man in
politics. told the students that an American
youth movement is lacking because young folks
hitherto have disagreed with their parents
only in super1cialitieS
Youth always will dream dreams Per
haps the stupidity and greed of the elders
have made inevitable at last a directing of
these dreams into organized participation in
politics by the young people of America.
We hope so.

POLICE RAPED FOR
TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
BY a Taxpayer.

BY a Taxpayer.
The city is badly in need of reves
nue. Why not get it from the autos
mobile hogs? They continually are
violating laws, rules and decency.
They stop cars on the pathway at
crossings, blocking the pedestrians
and then laugh when one has to
walk around the corner.
They park cars in safety zones
and seem to stay there as long as
they please and don't seem to be
bothered about the traffic police. It
seems they do just as they please.
The zones are painted at the curb,
and still police pass and repass and
don't tag the cars. Why not let the
violators help carry the tax burden
by paying for the violations.
After fifteen years as a travelling
salesman, I can say there is less
consideration in this city for the
pedestrian than any other city Of
the size in the country and less at
tention given to the automobile hog
by the police than in other real
cities.

NOT SO HIGH. AFTER ALL

DRES1DENT ROOSEVELT estimates that
n next year the national debt will reach
figure of S31834OOO oOO-the highest point in
its history This is staggering sum- but
it is worth remembering that it is by no
means unprecedented.
Great Britain has national debt of $685.
100000 pounds sterling, or about S36, 900. OOO.-
900 at par; and Great Britains population is
about a third that of the United States.
Look at it in another way. Englands debt
amounts to S799 per capita; Americas at the
top suggested by the President. will amount
to 1854 per capita. And, incidentally. in 1882
our national wealth was estimated at S247.-
0O0OO0OO0
1t looks as if We ought to be able to carry
this debt after ALL without too much diff
f1culty.

A Woman's Viewpoint
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON :

stronger sex, since no man ever
has yet been discovered who
could accomplish such a feat.
When it comes to smoking and
drinking, the boys are very gen.
erous. But I suspect their re-
marks about petting are not en-
tirely sincere. Whenever a man
says he thinks it's all right for a
girl to pet, provided she does not
go too far with it, he always
means that he thinks it's all right
for her to pet with him. 1 doubt
whether he really would like to
have his girl kissing the other
fellows promiscuouSly.
But there's no point in getting
excited about all this. Any good
dancer among the ladies under
stands what the boys mean. Each
boy insists that the girls step
must synchronize with his own.
1t is only this that makes one
good dancer in his eyes. It's not
how well you actually perform, but
how expertly you follow him, no
matter how poor a dancer ne hap
pens to be.
It sounds like big order, but
the girls-always being much
smarter than men suppose-do
manage to pretend to accomplish
the impossible. It's astonishing
how often they put it over.
