WHO'S TO BLAME?

The cost Of government is increasing each year,
a fact which is readily apparent to everyone 1t
has been on the increase, not for one year, or TWO
or three years. but for as long we have had
government. We cannot explain this condition
simply by saying that it is our government of1lclals
who are to blame.
In 1915. for instance, it cost about one-third as
much to run state government as 1t did IN
1885, In 1910 it cost even less, and SO ON. The IN
crease has been steady, through good years and
bad through Democratic and Republican admin
istratons alike.
One contributing factor to this condition is that
each year the people have asked the government
to assume new Duties And with this change has
come new regulatory functions, all OF which means
more employees, more red tape and more exeh-
ditures.
Back in the period of 191O-1915, for instance,
our highways few and lar between; com
pared to today the maintenance cost was NIL
Then, rutty, mucky, often impossible roads were
not unusual. Today, roads must be paved or
oiled and free of any condition which would I'M
pede our travel. Today, need large corps OF
patromen to see that we drive carefully and OBJ
serve the laws. Then, the existing police forces
Of the cities and counties could easily handle that
small burden.
Then, we took our hunting and fishing where
and when we found it; some paid licenses and
MANY did not Few worried about conditions as
they would be today. And today, our fields and
streams must be re-stocked annually, with game
wardens in every locality to see that we do not
make game hogs of ourselves
Then, few of us enjoyed electric lights or cleo
trio power; the utilities small and In but
few communities. Today, we all enjoy these bene-
fits and our utilities vast, interlocklng chain
which must be regulated to prevent abuses pos
sible under such complicated structure.
Another contributing factor has been the prln-
cple of taxing profitable industries In order that
less profitable industries are not handicapped.
Each time an industry reaches the point where
it's overhead is low enough that it can sell at
lower price than some competing industry, the
latter urges the government to place an additional
tax burden on that industry, on the grounds that
they are receiving benefits than they are
paying for.
The tendency has been to meet competition by
placing burden on the other fellow, rather than
by endeavoring to reduce our own overhead and
production COSTS
If we wish to reduce the cost of government,
we must realize that each time we ask the gov
eminent to assume new responsibilities new regu-
latolv duties, we are defeating our purpose; but
that il we will conscientiously endeavOr to assume
our individual responsibilities of citizenship we
can be instrumental in achieving economical,

cog in the home. In no other place, school lodge or church, is her in iluence equaled. An orphanage is a fine institution, but mothers real influence is lacking there too. Due to conditions all too common now adays the home is not considered as important as formerly; ties are cas- fly broken by divorces; the mother s often more of playmate than a help-meet, and the home is not as successful as it should be, the rela- .ionship between children and their parents"
 History oj Mothers Day
 Due credit was given by Rev, Olafson in his opening remarks to the Fraternal Order of Eagles for the origin of Mothers Day observ- ance. Back in 1904 it was, he said, that Mothers Day had its first be- ginning Frank E. Herring, editor of the Eagles Magazine and high official in the order, made the first suggestion of Mothers Day at a Grand Lodge meeting on that date. In 1907, was held in Philadelphia the first public observance by the Eagles Then in 1914, President Wilson gave first national recogni- tion of Mothers Day with issu- ance of proclamation calling for nation wide observance on the sec ond Sunday in May, ordering all

 EOeryday Virtues of Mother
 Ertolled by ReD. Olatson
 'It is not the publicity mothers, those whose names appear in the social news columns, for whom we observe Mothers Day; it is for the everyday mother we honor" Rev. Olafson said in his address.
 For the mother who is the pri- vate tutor of her children; for her patience; for the one who loves her boys and girls, gives her best for them; the one who exercises con- stant influence for righteousness and good; these are the things that will make the children good citizens. Her reward will be the love and re- spect of her children.

HOSPITAL FOR
INSANE REMAINS
CROWDED, SAID
STATE INSTITUTION NOT
EVEN ABLE To ACCEPT
VIOLENT PATIENTS, DUE TO
LACK OF FACILITIES
Especial to The Citizen)

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 10
Crowded conditions at the state
hospital for insane at ChattahOo-
chez, with 1904 patients massed
into quarters and facilities for
only 5000, have brought squarely
back to counties of Florida the
question of caring for mentally
deranged patients until additional
facilities can be prepared at Chat
tahOochee, ]. p. Newell, executive
secretary to Governor Sholtz, said
today.
"The hospital, / am informed
by Col. Preston Ayers, the superin-
! tendent, is now jammed with pa
; tients to the point where the &C
ceptance of others would mean the
impossible job of putting two beds
. in the space of one," Newell said,
"but even at that, we are besieged
daily with requests from the va
rious county officials to care for
more"
Newell stated that at this time
it is not even possible to accept
violent cases, and added that the
governors office now has a wait
ing list numbering &c white wom-
! en- who are deranged to the point
where mechanical restraint is
necessary.
"These poor women are being
held in county jails or hospitals
because it is simply an impossi-
bility to care for them at this time
at Chattahoeehee," he said.I st
may seem far from humane, but
our hands are tied by lack of
space, facilities and equipment. 1t
is far better that these patients
be kept in their own counties for
the time being, because there they
are sure of care, whereas the
crowded conditions at the state
hospital might preclude even this
kind of treatment due to lack of
staff members and nurses"
Newell said that each day he is
forced to turn a deaf ear to the
pitiful pleas of relatives and the
insistent requests of county of
ficials that he certify violently
,, insane patients to the state hos
pital.
] "And when it is forced upon us
to deny these requests, it is APP
! parent that less violent cases can
not be taken into the institu.
tiOn," he concluded.

DESCRIBE ACTIVITIES IN
GENERAL FRANCOIS TOWN
TO-TOWN MARCH TOWARD
MADRID
BY RICHARD C. MASSOCK
(By Associated PreSsI

WITH THE FASCIST ARMY
ON THE MADRID FRONT, Nov.
13.-Highways and villages have
been the backgrounds in the adj
vance of General Francisco Fran
cos forces on Madrid.
The fighting has been less of
battle than of skirmishes and the
word 'front," in this civil war, is
little more than a euphonious term
to designate the roads held by the
warning forces.
For there is little fight ng from
trenches, OF between lines stretch
ed across fields in the open coun-
try. Columns advance along high
ways, leaving the roads only to
deploy around village and rush
its sandbag barrica1cs at the en-
frances to it's streets.
Typical of a days operations
was the advance of one of General
Jose Ware as columns on a string
of villages within 80 miles of Ma
drid on the southwest side of the
capital.
General Up At Dawn
The general, motoring out from
headquarters with his staff at 5
a. M, was on q hilltop at dawn,
to which the start of the days ad-
vance with the aid of field glasses.
Through them, as the morning
light frightened and warm sun
shine flooded the landscape, he
could distinguish the line of buses
and trucks in which his bronze
skinned Moorish troops had NOV
ed sup.
On white ribbon of road ahead
of his column could be seen the
trucks and buses of the retreating
leftist mi.itiamen and assault
guards. Moving specks on the roll
ing terrain were cavalry troops rid
ing across fields to attack the left
lists, who were fleeing at a right
angle to the nationalist advance.
Presently a courier roared up on
a motorcycle and handed the gen.
eral message.
"The reds are fleeing toward
Madrid" the general said. Lets
go on"
His caravan of staff cars, not
more than a half-dozen, speeded
into the village his troops had just
occupied. AS the village was near
ed, a few dead were seen, crum-
Piled in the bitches.
Linesmen String Wire
In the outward slope of the
bitches, rising eight or 10 feet, the
leftists had dug rude, cave-like
shelters, scarcely larger than dog
kennels, in trench formation.
These were empty and telephone
lieSmen, who followed the advance
but few miles behind, already
were working on the wires, hang
ing like clusters of threads from
the poles, where they had been
pulled down by leftists.
Reaching the occupied village,
the general and his staff climbed
to hilltop just outside its walls.
The road to the next village was
lined for a mile with buses, empty
except for their drivers, and sup
ply trucks, on which dozed their
Spanish and Moorish guards.

AMERICAN SIREN

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Mo-
florists pulled up in amaze
ment and pedestrians put their
fingers to their ears when a
police car tore through the
traffic on Piccadilly uttering
long and piercing shrieks
from a siren.
Londoners, familiar with
the sound from American
movies, looked in vain for
gangsters, but it was later re-
vealed that the metropolitan
police were merely testing an
American siren for the first
time with a view to using it
in place Of the less command
