NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WASHINGTON SAID WISELY

If there ever lived a man in America who knew
the full cost Of the Constitution and the price of
liberty and freedom from despotiSm, that man was
George Washington. No one can read the record
of that awful winter at Valley Forge without adj
hitting this fact. Moreover, Washington was
student of men, He knew the natural tendency III
men to crave power and he realized that that de-
sire must be eternally watched and checked Of
course there are those who would now say WASH
ineton lived in the ox-cart and tallow candle days.
and that his ideals could not be harmonized with
present day thinking and living. Well, IN many
WAYS that NAV be true but fundamentals never
change nor does human nature change There
fore, read the following advice which ne gave the
people of his day and those to come IN the future
The words are taken from his farewell address;
"It is important likewise, that the habits of
thinking in free country should inspire caution
in those instructed with its administration TO

sPECTIvE CONSTITUTIONAL SPHERES avoid

the powers of all the departments in one, and thus

REAL DESPoTISM.
AND PRONENESS TO ABUSE 1T, which FREEDOM
mates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy
Us of the truth of this position.
"The necessity of reciprocal checks in the ex-
ercise of political power by dividing and distribut-
ing it into different repositories, and constituting
each the guardian of the public veal against IN
vasions of the others, has been evinced by expert
ments ancient and modern Some of them in our
own country and under our own eyes. TO PRE-
SERVE THEM MUST BE AS NECESSARY AS
70 INSTITUTE THEM.
''If in the opinion of the people, the distribu-
ton or modification of the Constitutional powers
be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by
an amendment in the way which the Constitution
designates. BUT LET THERE BE NO CHANGE
BY INSPIRATIONS for though this, in one in
stance, may be the instrument Of good, 1T is THE
CUSTOMARY WEAPON BY WHICH FREE Gov

The secret of Switzerland's GOV
ernmental harmony and success, |
believe, lies in the fact that Swift

representation Of her minorities.
Sweden, whose government is fire.
quently pointed to as a model,
likewise employs the principle OF
proportional representation.
If we will change our system Of
representation so that the minor
ity political groups will be fairly
represented in our local, state and
national legislative bodies, we
shall have gone far in promoting
harmony, efficiency and safety
throughout our nation. Our pres
ent system of representation
means that our minorities are ac-
tually unrepresented OF made

tive councils. incidentally they
must suffer the injustice and the
ignominy of that evil thing, hate

PIONEERING NEVER WAS A HOLIDAY
AFFAIR
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Glancing in the direction of Alaska's
Matanuska Valley, one is compelled to
wonder just what has happened to the old
time pioneering spirit in this country.
The MatanSuka Valley harbors several
hundred hOmesteaders who were moved
from farms in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota and sent to the northland to
carve new homes out of the wilderness.
They were victims of the depression.
There was no hope for them if they stayed
at home. Unable to support themselves
where they were, they had to move or sink
into pauperism. The Alaskan venture, sub
sidized by the government, offered them
chance to make new start. 1870.
When they set out for Alaska we heard
a great deal about the new pioneers, about
the revival of the old days, and about the
re-discovery of the frontier in the TWEEN
tieth century Everybody sat back and
wished the colonists lots ofluck. ,...
But lately the welkin has been ringing
with all manner of complaints. These
range all the way from protests over
shortage of farm equipment to means
about. the excessive number of mosquitoes
in Alaska's fair valleys.
Cabins that were to have been built to
house.th colonists are far behind. schedule.
The colonists are still living in tents, and
are not enjoying it. Sanitation is imper-
feet, roads are practically. non-existent,
tools have not been delivered and political
bureaucracy does not seem to be function
ing very well.
Now these charges, having been aired ON
the floor of the Senate, deserve and should
get complete, impartial investigation.
And yet, when all allowance is made, one
does have to wonder-what has happened
to that old-tirne pioneer spirit? 4" Vs.. ..'.
These colonists were right back of the
eight-ball, before the Alaskan venture
started. They were broke and had no
chance of remedying the condition. They
were given a chance to better themselves
by indulging in a little -pioneering-and
pioneers never did have it soft.
All of America was developed by people
who lived in imperfect houses, lacked pro
per tools, suffered plaques of mosquitoes,
toiled over Doggy roads and in general had
to put up with whole host of annoyances
and Inconvenience.
1t seems likely that small minority is
doing most of the complaining. Most of
the settlers, one suspects, are plugging
away and saying nothing. The majority,
probably, realize full we'll that the pioneer
never did have picnic. $3.50

Taxation Without Representation
By WICKES WAMBOLDT.

benefits for the favored few,
waste, inefficiency, irritation and
antagoniSm, and government
like SwitZerland's - where the
rights and benefits of all are the
concern of all.
Our system of representation in
the affairs Of government will al
ways be source of irritation, an
tagonism, graft, corruption, waste
and inefficiency as long as it pre-
vails-for it is an unfair system.
For instance, suppose - as is
often the case - two different
groups in a city Of, let us say,
100000 people, are trying to elect
their respective candidates to the
city council. If one of those
groups is able to get 50,001 votes
for the candidates on its ticket,
those candidates are elected; and
lthey control the entire city. That
means that 49,999 people who
voted the other ticket, have no
representation on the city council.
Such a condition leads to bitter
ness, to arrogance, to the applica-
ton of the spoils system, and to
all the vicious practices which
grow out of the spoils system.
Under such a method of repre-
sentation, it is q common practice
for our cities-yes, and for our
states, also-to be divided politi-
cally into two opposing armies
which fight for supremacy. The
winning side consistently exploits
and bulldozes. the losing side.
Speaking of our plan of repre-
sentation: The New International
Encyclopedia says, "By the pres
ent system the political party ha,-
ing a minority Of voters in a given
electoral district is generally un-
represented in the government,
Notwithstanding the fact that its
numerical strength may lack but
few votes of equaling the party
which secures the entire represen-
tation. AS result of this system
it frequently happens that the mi
nority party in a state is made

SUMNER ADVERTISING GOOD

Local merchants who intend to get their share of
the fall business can take a step forward by ad-
ivertising in the summer. f''gtD.s;
Too many storekeepers think that the time to
advertise is when everybody else is doing so, for
getting that when the other man lays off the field

Using is to be found in the good will created and
this can be done very effectively in slack periods
when other stores are content to keep silent. ,l

good copy for the press whether there be real or
