ROUND TWO

When the federal government started
its assault on business, and thereby at
tackled the foundations of our tried and
proved system of government, it made
laws of such restrictive and undemocratic
thing; as the NRA.
Public opinion, and the Supreme
Court, ended that round. Progress, and
business, then had a chance to catch its
breath while new trouble was shaped up
for it. That was labelled the "breathing
SPELL"
Now round two has started Half a
dozen proposals more dangerOu; and die
tatOrial than NRA are in the legislative
mill. But worse side OF the picture is
what could happen, and what some be-
lieve is happening, to folks who dare to
speak out against the trend in Washing
ton. The things that could happen in
clude:
Prosecution of individuals for alleged
income tax violations, so timed as to offset
the effect of their criticisms; the distribu-
ton of questionnaires, prying into hereto
fore private affairs; the threat that those
who don't keep quiet will not get govern
ment contracts; the ntimation that GER
tain persons may not get loans from. the
government, or if they already have them
the threat that the loans will be called in
stead of extended; the threat that those
who try to get back illegaly-paid AAA
processing taxes will be prosecuted for al
legged income tax law violations forgotten
for many years.
Some propose a law forbidding en-
plOyerS to attempt to influence those who
work for them. How about expanding
that to forbid the government to exert die
tatorial pressure against those who say
what they think? Or has the grand old
American institution of free speech been
closed down?

CHIEF KEPT Ills WORD

The story of Chief Joseph, doughty
Nez Perez warrior who made plenty of
trouble for United States troopers some de-
cadeS ago, and the faithfulness with which
he kept his word when finally constrained
to give up the warpath, are recalled by a
recent writer.
On the spot in Montana where he
surrendered to General Miles more than so
years ago has been erected monument to
his memory, on which the following is in
@cribed:
"Chief Joseph was a military genius,
courageous and humane. Presenting his
rifle to General Miles, with right hand up
raised, he proclaimed From where the
sun now stands, will fight no more for
ever He kept his word
Although many would class Chief
Joteph as savage, he had high sense of
honor. His word, once given, was in
viOlable. 1t would be a wonderful thing
for this old world if the sO-called civilized
nations which signed the Kellogg peace
pact would, like him, keep their solemn
word

business is proper function of gov

By GUS w. DYER
Professor of Economics and Sociology,
Vanderbilt University

This second group of adherents to
the socialist philosophy is also divided
into two classes. The first class would
retain the Constitution. but openly
fight decisions of the Supreme Court
hostile to the extension Of socialistic
philosophy. They seek means of pre-
venting the Supreme Court from ap-
plying the principle of the Constitu-
ton TO our industrial system. They
make this fight not as socialists, but
as opponents of industrial democra-
cy" Industrial democracy. of course,
is simply another name for the philos-
ophy of socialism and communism.
But the ignorant don't know this.
The second class make no technical
fight against the Constitution and
the Supreme Court. Their purpose is
to hold on to the machinery of the
Constitution but TO render il ineffec-
tive by indirect methods. They de-
clare their good faith and seek to
obtain constitutional authority for an
apparently legitimate purpose. With
this as a Smoke-Screen they are able
to engage in activities in accord with
their real program which is at wide
variance with their stated plans.
There is nothing new. in this
method. 1t was used effectively by
Jacob in robbing his brother. Esau, of
his birthright. Jacob made no fight on
the Constitution that protected the
ssnctity of ESau's birthright. He
adopted indirection to attain his ends
and deceive Isaac, his father.
The founders of our Constitution
never anticipated a Jacobean Con-
gress. They assumed that Congress
men. required to take solemn oath
of Office to support the Constitution
could find no pathway between the
terms of the oath and solid good faith.
Some of the acts of Congress strongly
suggest that expediency is forcing
some of our law makers into paths
of indirection. However, we can as
sumo that facts rather than declara-
tions of pious purpose will determine
the constitutionality of laws carried
to the highest court for decision. The
eyesight of the mine old men" is bet
ter than that of Isaac.

About Sore Arms,

A WELL-KNOWN pitcher writes In
to say that, instead of needing
more work, pitchers need more rest.
You don't build up pitching muscles
or pitching hardihood by long sessions
on the bench.
Some % years ago, back around
1908, Christy Mathewson kept the
Giants around the front on regular
duty as well as relief work
Back before Matty'S day, Hoss Rad
bourne, working 10 or II games in a
row, would often warm up a tired
arm for an hour before the game
to get it back in working shape. No
one can quite advocate this extra
duty, but most of the great pitchers
were hard workers-pitchers who
worked in many more innings than
the rest Of the field. can refer you
to the heavy duty that Ed Walsh, Wal
ter johnson, Christy Mathewson and
Grover Cleveland Alexander carried
TO mention only few. They worked
much oftener than the modern stars
do and they were good enough to
last many years and win from 80 to
40 games a season.
Today any pitcher who passes 25
victories is sure to lead the league.
Grove and Dean are the only two who
have won 80 games in a season for
the last decade.
The more work a pitcher getS-up
TO certain human limit-the better
chance he has to be effective and have
control of his stuff.
