The latest sad story in figures is
making Washington faces both hap
py and glum. The happy are those
who seek a cure for the squanderlust
epidemic. The glum are those who
wish that statements on the govern
ment's financial condition did not
have to be made every year.
The happy now hope that the f.
nancial statements will make the
| 126,000,0O0 American people see
where they are heading. The glum
fear that is what will happen.
The glum were happy too for a
time. That was when newspapers
emphasized only that the govern
ment debt was S33,779 100000 that
expenditures for the last year were
IS, ,SS0, 900 900; that the deficit for the
year was $4.765,OOO,OOO. Their hap
piness was based upon the fact that
billions are almost beyond human
comprehension, and that they mean
nothing to the average man.
go
But that happiness was short
lived. First, the Associated Press
calculated that the figures showed
that out of each 81 spent by the Fed
eral government last year, 54 cents
was borrowed. In other words, that |
Uncle Sam went in debt to the tune
of 54 cents out Of each dollar he {,
spent because his taxes were bring |
ing in only 46 cents.
That was followed by other cal
culatiOns making the picture more |
depressing. It was figured, for in
stance. that the $4,764, 100000 deficit
meant an increase of $3S in the debt
on each man, woman, and child, in H
the country, or an increase of $152
on each average family of four.
Next, the $33,779 ,OOO, 600 debt was
translated into similar figures, show
ing that Uncle Sans total debt
to $269 for each person, III
or 81 ,O76 for the average family. And
that the total cost of running the
Federal government last year was
S7O.4S per person, or 1882 per family.
saH
The worst of it, from the stand
point of the cOver-uppers, was that
correspondents then be-
gan to emphasize the tax angle, y
pointing out that the only way Uncle
Sam could pay his debts was by TAX
ng s1,076 in taxes from every family
n the land.
These computations made the new
1900, 100000 tax bill look insignifi-
cent That bill was put forward as 1
TO keep the Federal gov
srnment in sound financial condi-
ion. II meant additional taxes aver n
Iging $28 per year on each family.
But what good is it, some eorrespon-
lents asked, 10 levy new taxes Of S2S

THE Press And THE ELECTION

| THE PRESS AND THE ELECTION
ii. 1t is the duty of American news
papers to see that the public is
thoroughly informed on the national
election campaign, said ]. D. Barnum,
president of the American News
paper Publishers Association, in a
recent address.
The above statement is true, but
the amount of news and discussion
which the newspapers print about
the election depends on the desire of
the public. If people will only read
a quarter of a column of some pub
lie mans speech, the editor can
hardly be expected to print it in full.
The newspapers from some points
of view might be considered our
greatest educational force. They
can not turn an illiterate person in
to an educated one. If man never
learns to read or reads only with
difficulty, the newspapers won't do
him much good. A man who quit
school at a very early age, but who
keeps reading newspapers every day,
will in time, know more than a col
lege graduate who is not interested
by the information the newspaper
gives.
The newspapers of Delaware are
eager to print all the information
they can get about the government
and the election campaign, only they |
do not want to print columns of |
stuff that people won't read. The
people should want to know how
they are governed, how political poll
cies will affect their taxes, their
homes, and their schools, and they
should inform the editor that they
want to hear about these things.
The citizen gets his cleaTest idea
lbout public affairs when he reads
his newspaper. There he can take
lis time to weigh the words of the
'rators. Before that calm scrutiny,
azes and bluffs do not stand up. If
IL the people were only reading this
right along, many mis-
axes made at elections would never
ccur.

Brother Luis N. Morones, our old
friend and vice president of the Pan

For security Of life depends first
on the certainty Of bread
There is more bread where men
unite their labor
The chain uniting human effort nnul-
tiplies the workers power
Its least effective use is to wrap
it around their necks--
To cut the chain entirely is to waste
the power
The vital question always is:
Who owns that chain?
The fruits of civilization flow to us
from two sources Of control
Civilization is intensified by inte-
grafton of its human units
It's productive capacities depend
upon its definite disciplines-
These are the chains, the harness,
corresponding to its tools
Their functioning depends upon the
consenting intelligence of it's citi-
zens-
winch can flow only according to
the degree of benefits diffused-
Increasing production, from tight
ened chains Of discipline
Is possible only when larger liber-
ties of life are released elsewhere
This spells the necessity of demo-
cracy in control of the chains
Ordered liberty
Yes, Mr.. Hoover, there is no other
liberty worth having
But, VINO IS to give the orders?

There is larger liberty for the
rowing pack Of outlaws
But the little, lone and hungry one
is also free
To starve, and agonize, and then

There is no liberty in terms Of one

those who live together
Slavery is only compulsory assocla-
ton
The essence Of slavery is in exclu-
sion from benefits of cooperative
effort

to freedom in the desert
