A second illuminating instance is the reply Of

seizure through secret agents of thousands of pr-

Mr. BLACK, caught in a discreditable well as I'M

generously proclaims that the real opposition to
h;S action comes from a desire of those who want
n work in darkness and who dread the condemna-
ton of the honest, patriotic people of this nation
for their perncious practices and sinister actlVl-
ties"

THEY THAT TAKE THE SWORD

"Ail they that take the sword shall perish with

That is the bold declaration of the Prince OF
Peace.
There is no intelligent appeal from that decision

authorship or the clear proofs of history
1t is the solemn and sensible warning OF The
North Carolina Christian Advocate that ."unless the
Nations of today put up their swords they Will &c

There is but one nation on the earth that
has existed 1000 years. That is China, peace
loving nation. All the warning nations are
gone. Assyria, Egypt and all the rest OF the
ancients are no more. Even Rome, whose
victorious legions brought their spoils into the
eternal city, confirms the truth of this utter
ance of the man whom Rome crucfied.
The Advocate has thus stated the case clearly

Authority of all the ages.

COMING TO WHAT?
By WICKEy WAMBOLDT

John Dillingcrs and Baby Face"
Nelson's rolled into one.
Often, very often, the congress,
the state legislatures, the local
governing boards do their mis-
guided deeds under insistent, pow
erful pressure of groups of pri-
vate citizens seeking selfish ad-
vantages.
Yet, as / have pointed out, the
responsibility for the crimes by
groups flies right back to the in
dividual and, as you may note by
all history, the individual is the
one eventually to suffer.
1t is strange we cannot learn
some things. 1t is strange that,
with the thousands of years of
recorded human events which
clearly prove the curses and the
miscTies of Indifference, selfish
ness and greed, we cannot learn
to fight that sort of thing in our
selves and to bring to ourselves
the blessings and the joys of
thoughtfulness, unSelfish co-opera-
ton.
Perhaps this world is just this
kind of world. Perhaps it is al
ways to be made up of just the
grade of souls that we arc-sclf-
seeking, uncomprehending spirits
that must have the relentless,
painful disciplining they always get
in this world for indulging their
elemental impulses and desires.
If that be so, then if you and
! do not like this sort of thing,
we have our cue as to how to get
out of it, and keep out of it;
nemely, by demonstrating con-
clusively throughout bchav o /
here that we are fit to enter and
to live in a better sphere.
So, when we hear the query,
what is the world coming to-"
we should answer, 81 do not know
what the world is coming to; but
|, do know what | am coming to.
| am coming to a better world
than this by proving through my
constructive conduct here that |

estly TO rthe highest light.
Individual responsibility in the
relations of men with men is far
greater than most of us seem to
realizc-and | am not referring
to rugged or ragged individualism
either.
While It is unquestionably true
that our greatest crimes arc COM
mitted by groups-Slnce groups
WELD more power for good or for
bad than do individuals-neverthe-
less groups are made up of indi-
viduals; and there can not be
group crimes unless the indivi-
duals constituting the groups are
willing, or go along.
.Wether we realize it or not,
the worst crimes committed
against our nation and against
our world are political crimes by
political groups. The congress Of
the United States, the various
state legislatures, the various gov
erning boards harm this nation
far more than all the AL Capones,

POLITICAL SHELL GAME
LOSES TWO STATES e
Bv BRUCE CATION

In the old days when the county far was
a prominent feature of the American land
scape no such event was complete without
the presence of gentleman whose equip
ment consisted of three walnut shells,
pea, and black and unscrupulotfs heart.
This gentleman would arrange his wares
on a table and offer to bet all and sundry
that, when he passed his hands over the
board, they could not tell which shell was
laid down on top of the pea. He always
won, proving that the hand is quicker than
the eve and that a guileful heart is about
two jumps ahead of both.
There are times when it seems as II this
man must have been the ancestor OF nearly
all the statesmen who run the finances OF
our American state governments. For state
finance is ordinarily shell game, and
nothing more. The average citizen can
not hope to make head or tail of it. All
he knows is that his taxes keep on inchlng
up, year by year, that bonded Indebtedness
keeps on increasing, and that the army OF
state employees never stops recruiting.
It is refreshing, therefore, to read all
article in the current Nations Business
by Congressman o. K: Armstrong OF Mis-
souri,, which points out that at least two OF
our states have found way to get their
finances in order.
Those states are Kansas and Nebraska.
Even i'm the depression, they managed To
cut their taxes and lower their costs. They
have had the help of skillful governors
they have been helped even more by the
fact that their citizens, earlier, had the
sense to pass sensible laws.
Kansas has strict tax limitation law,
and a compulsory budget law. Payments
on state and city bonds must be made out
of income; there are no sinking funds, and
the old game of borrowing to pay off old
debts is out.
Nebraska, even more remarkable, has
no bonded debt. The state constitution
forbids the issuing of bonds, and the state
government has to pay as it goes. 1t gets
its revenue almost entirely from property
taxes, leyying neither income, sales, MOI
cigaret taxes. The state-wonder of won
ders!-even managed to build $4,000
600 capitol without borrowing a dime.
The old shell game is not being played
any more int these two states, The tax
payer is beginning TO get value received
for the money the state takes from him
And what Kansas and Nebraska, did, al
the rest of the states can do, if their people
wake up and demand it.
We do great deal of talking about the
need for reducing government expendi
lures, and when we say that we usually
think about Washington. Reduction o.
state expenditures is fully as important, il
not more so; and the example OF these twl
farm belt states shows that the job is TAI
from impossible.
