With all the talk the past few months about
Swinging to the left or right" there remains little
doubt about which way the voters of the nation turn
ed in last weeks election. Rather than a swing 1t
was a tumbling8o the left
The electorate issued their certain edict that they
were solidiy behind the President in his efforts to
bring about recovery and restore to agriculture, labor,
and industry. their rightful heritage.
BY their ballots the people have said to President
Roosevelt, ITO you we throw the torch; be yours to
greatest majority any Party has ever had since the
him with greater d~ictatorial power, we view in a some
what different light.
The President has had practically dictatorial
powers since his inauguration twenty months ago. lie
has had an opportunity to test out the tenets Of his
program, which he frankly admitted were experiment
al in nature. He has seen some parts Of that program
fail and have to be revised. His attitude OF iale,
while still decidedly progressive, is guarded with more
caution, anxious to make every step forward De such
that 1t viii not have to be retraced. This is plainly
indicated in his reorganization OF MIA and Inc care
with which his new lieutenants are proceeding.
So. while people have apparently given to the
President added power, they have by the same token
expressed added confidence which he shall all the
more keenly- want to retain. To hold this esteem, MS
program must be built not for today alone but for
wears ahead. We may naturally expect then TO see q
program take the shape of more permanent and lasung
good than those measures which have engaged the
attention Of the administration since its inception.
These will undoubtedly include a permanent program
for agriculture. stabilized conditions for labor and In
dustry, unemployment insurance and old age pensions.

we haven't heard very much about the campaign
against indecency in the movies lately but we call 70
the readers attention the evident fact that there ~ no
system in the. universe which compels a man or a wo-
man in Sheridan county to pay money to see a picture
that they prefer not to see.
There is much to be said in defense Of the operat-
ors Of the moving picture theatres IN this county, as
well as elsewhere. They are not to be blamed, as q
class, for the type Of films put out by the producers
nor are they responsible for showing oD1ecuohaple
pictures which producers compel them to buy.
We have witnessed a great number OF moving
pictures in our day. Soae we did not like; others We
enjoyed. However, it has been our practice TO Watcn
the advertising matter and the write-ups Of the
screens offerings. When we know that the theatre Is
showing a type of picture that we do not care to see,
we stay home. 1t is a good rule for everybody and In
time, the most effective form OF censorship that the
world provides.

Enough of Politics

There were tremendous personal victories In last
weeks election. First of all it was a great personal
triumph for President Roosevelt. Senator B. X.
the two fighting LaFollettes, true to the family tradi-
ton, were swept into the offices of U. S. Senator and
Governor respectively, solely on a wave of personal
appreciation of ability and esteem. In Nebraska the
veteran Senator Geo. w. Norris gained one of the big
gest triumphs of his long career when the voters adj
opted his one-house legislature plan.
But in the story of the ballot the nation over.
there is a distinct lesson for the embattled political
factions, most of whom have neglected its real prob
lens or have heretofore been only negative factors at
a time when the county, state or nation needed real
constructive leadership. There are still demagogues
barnacled to the ship Of state. The fight for good
government must continue. If our embattled factions
can overcome narrowness, if they will seek to end
rather than promote hysteria and petty personal hat
reds. they will be moving to constructively interpret
the verdict returned at the polls last week. Perhaps
that is too much to expect. The pace of true progress
is ever slow.
Meantime, Sheridan county, and Montana as a
whole, needs nothing so much for the time being as a
rest from the distractions and harassments of prac-
tical politics. Those given responsibility in the last
election should remember that. There are big prob
lens ahead for all our citizenry. The most immediate
and important Of them go to obvious issues OF human
welfare. 1t is a time to forgive and forget. 1t Is q
time to get together. to abandon hatreds, malice, petty
iealousies. It is a time to build for a better to-
morrow.

Too Much Government

Now that the election is over and the officials
named for the ensuing term 1t might not be amiss TO
direct attention to the cost Of Our system OF govern
ment.
According to recent census figures the taxpayers
OF. the United States support 1862 county govern
ments, 1853 city governments, 128,549 school districts
and 1879 township organizations. The question be-
fore the citizens of this country is whether there are
too many organizations for modern needs.
We have no objection to any vt these arms OF
government IL the taxpayers are willing to pay for
them. However, the average citizen OF this republic
pays $71.09 each year to support them, when many OF
them could be eliminated without Gripping govern
ment In the least.

iation, as accurate a picture as pos
sIble at all times. We want all who
find this column useful to know, re-
CARELESS of whether our estimates OF
given situations turn out to be right
or wrong, that we have presented an
honest, unbiased opinion, based up
on the most intelligent Interpretation
OF the facts that we are able to
make.
In negotiating reciprocal trade
agreements, the government has no
intention OF yielding concessions ex-
cept where a particular country Is
the chief source Of Il supply OF a
commodity. This assurance was CIV
en- to American business by Thomas
| Walter Page, chairman of the Tariff
Commission and in charge OF as
sembling the facts upon which
trade negotiations will depend.
At a hearing, during which the
committee heard manufacturers pro-
test against concessions for news
print and matches, Mr.. Page explain
ed the governments intention. I'm
der the INSTRUMENTATION clause, Ii
a concession Is made to n country
on any commodity, 1t would have to
be extended to all others. However,
II a concession Is made to Brazil, for
example, which supplies most of our
coffee, such an extension to other
countries under the mostfavored-na-
ton clause would not interfere with
Rrazils interest or work additional
harm In this country. This Is SO be-
cause no other country a supply us
with any large quantity Of coffee and
the concession thus made with Braz-
IL, while open to the world, can have
no effect when other countries do
not produce coffee.
A new ~hard4boiled policy has been
put into effect by the Bureau OF In
ternal Revenue, which Is vigorously
pressing for payment Of all income
taxes and other payments which 1t
believes are due the government,
According to officials, the Bureau
has no discretion but must enforce
payment In full. Protests are disre
garded and compromises are permit
ted only where there Is doubt al to
the liability of the taxpayer or the
collectibility OF the tax.
>
OF course, 1t Ia impossible for the
bureau to examine the returns OF all
taxpayers and, therefore, some get
by with exemptions that others fail
to secure. Moreover, some officials
differ In Interpreting the cases that
arise In the twilight zone OF income
taxation. But generally the Treas
Jury is determined to follow a severe
policy toward deductions and com
promises and to abandon the easy at
titude that existed In flush times.

The New Deal, triumphant In Its

The amazing sweep Of the Dem
ocratic party, which brushed aside
almost every remnant OF the Old
Guard Republican element, carried
with 1t an unheard of senatorial ma
jority, which may be reduced but
cannot be overcome for nearly Q de-
cade. The supporters of the admin

governorships In states which mad

1t is vitality important that these
new constructions should be fitted into
a general plan, with view to the
greatest convenience of access and
the most effective grouping of Govern
ment units. Studies of this question
have been carried on for several years
and aSsuredly the matter has reached
the point at which decision is pos
sible without further delay, which
tends to complicate the final conclu-
sion and to add heavily to the cost.
The whole matter resolves itself
into, first the definite selection of sites
for the two new buildings which are
to house the State and War Depart
ments, then the provision of funds for
their construction and for the re-
of the old building, to make
it suitable for the housing of the
executive staff. The ma ter of an
connection between the
present executive Office and the build
ing across the way is merely detail,
not difficult of decision and execution.
Economy demands promptness of
action. Eventually these new con-
structions must be had There is no
advantage in postponement and the
protraction of studies.
