prone to consider scientific state planning an en-

would see that the plan of conservation to which
he must conform is designed for his advantage, and
that ultimately it will mean more food in his pan

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE NEWSPAPER AND THE PUBLIC

A fine appreciation of the press is expressed in
a Judgment just handed down by the Supreme
Court of the United States, in which Justice
Sutherland, delivering the judgment said:
The newspapers, magazines and other journ-
ais of the country, it is safe to say, have shed,
and continue to shed more light on the public
and business affairs to the nation than any
other instrumentality of publicity; and since
informed public opinion is the most potent of
all restraints upon disagreement, the sup
nression or abridgment of the publicity af-
forded by free press cannot be regarded 9TH
erwise than with grave concern
free press stands as one of the great in
+o,nreters between the Government and the
naonle To allow it to be fettered is to fetter
ourselves.
And This is not the only tribute recorded to the
credit of the press recently for only few days

DR. Robert Mikan noted astronomer, SAID:

addad +o this was the statement of Ray Lyman
wiIbpr former United States Secretary of the
Interior: ..
There has been increasing accuracy IN sclen-
t;f;c news When such news is simply and
accurately given. l think it has very sub
stantial effect upon public thinging' ..
The Vancouver Sun and other up-to-date news
papers have felt very strongly that it was part of
the newspapers function to enhghten the puDi'c
along those scientific lines in which statistics show
the average man to be most ignorant. w..
The honest newspaper does not say things be-
cause they are popular but because they are right.
Il endeavors to ascertain what sound policy IS, and
thereafter advocate it. That implies service-ser-
vice which is worth while ,.... - .
The science and are of government are under
inspection and economci problems are being ex-
plored fro mscores of varied approaches, not by
professional thinkers, but by sincere men who have
been trained in the laboratories of experience.
The modern newspaper seeks to keep in touch
with such thought, digesting and reproducing 1t IN
manner that stands or falls because Of its logic
or lack of logic.
That is how the newspaper seeks to make public

Many business firms spend much time and
money to collect their bills. In other words, it is
costing much to collect honest debts from people
who are supposed to be honest.
1t is interesting to note how easily many people
forget debt they owe. The best way is to ''pay

OLD HUMAN NATURE
By WICKEy WAMBOLDT

es with human nature, mentally
OF physically, there is always a
destructive conflict which actu-
ally accomplishes little or moth
ing; there may be a temporary
relief from an undesirable situa-
ton. When the Allies overcome
the famous Imperial Germany, q
bad movement was halted; and
that was necessary. But as sub
seouent events have proved,
nothing permanently constructive
was accomplished. If you kill a
man who is trying to kill you,
you are justified. But you would
DO better if you could make him
change his mind.
Don't misunderstood me. The
way we are, it seems necessary at
times to meet human nature with
human nature; to batter down
material forces with material
forces. But that is not the way
the. thing should be done, and
not the way to get higher results.
1t is no tthe way to life men up;
and to improve the world.
If we could command suffici-
emf spiritual power land it is ours

1t seems necessary, the way
things are now, to send men to

ecute them; to meet warning
forces with warning forces. But
those are not constructiev accom-
plishments: they are deplorable:
The glorious thing to do would
be to get hold of men before they
commit their crimes; to anticipate
what they might do, and to so
educate and improve them spirit
ually that they would not do
ignoblc things.
The trouble with us is we have
not got what it takes. And the
reason we do not have it, is that
we do not reach out for it with
sincere persistency. Old human
nature is ourselves so hamstrings

OFFICE HOLDERS

The extravagant and wasteful politician
is the man who is responsible for the TACT
that one-fourth of the total income OF all
the people of the United States is now be-
ing eaten up by taxation-local, State ana
national combined.
The cost of government in this country
has mounted to an average OF more imam
500 annually for every man, woman ana
child of the population. This is an aver
age of $500 per family; and while man!
families are paying less than the average
all are paving their proportion and those
of small incomes, who may think they are
getting by with little or no taxation are
having a share of this enormous total, JUST
the same as families having larger H.

The politicians are encouraged IN their
reckless extravaganza by certain classes OF
the population-in fact they are forced IT.

nahrc money, in many cases-but in the
final reckoning, the politicians, public SER
