WITH THEIR OWN MONEY
copyrlsAs 1887. ), The sa1ti.srs s.s

The thing about this admtnistra-
ton that outrages so many citizens Is
the way In which 1t hooks up relief
and reform with the most practical
kind of politics, making the taxpayers
foot the bill for all three. The more
conscientious friends Of the president
do not like this combination, but
naturally 1t is particularly offensive
to those not in accord with his po-
licies.
With these. It amounts to . conn
pulsory contribution. to Cause in
which they do not believe and fol, the
continuation In power Of men whom
they do not trust. For all practical
purposes, they are compelled to. fur
nish the money to nullify their own
efforts. From the treasury of the
United States flow billions for relief
and subsidies which, in effect, become
the campaign funds of an administrA-
ton which breaches purity In politics
and pretends to operate on the high
est plane. The public immortality of
this is as clear as the fact is indis-
putable.
This wholesale use Of the money Of
the people to sway their votes in
elections has not been done before.
It came in with the New Deal and is
perhaps its worst feature. Certainly,
it is hard to think Of anything better
calculated to degrade the democratic
form of government or render more
farcical our political system. Yet. ap-
parently nothing can be done about It
at least nothing can be done SO long
as congress continues to appropriate
large lump sums to be expended by

The United Sates having had rather in
the hothouse method of labor union development
to be and interested in the possibility that
unions be set out in ground there to be SUBJ
ect to the laws and regulations that control other
tions of public interest
Germ idea comes the experience of European
countries especially Holland and England where trade unions
have flourished for years.
While conservatives here argue that it because
srant and compusons that unions abroad attained
position of respectabiy there another group which
tends that strikes and other direct actions necessary
force that view onto employers and the public.
There is truth in both views but both overlook the
sensible middle ground where dsagreemens be dissolved
In the first place. there British law requiring unions
carry employers No union is required to
incorporate submit to audit except in the of its poll
ca fund.- union cannot be sued for damages except
of illegal strike, which the law defines
Britain has not altogether overlooked the matter of
regulation Most unions register and make yearly reports
of and spending Sympathetic strikes
forbidden they calculated to the d
rect they nfict hardship the community Satisfied
workmen not be ntmdated into joining strike and pub
lie service employees must not strike for any without
giving due notice.
Then there is the middle ground, amounting nothing
than deepooted respect for law plus
that the highly competent British labor leaders require
bers to strike return to work without questioning the order
If the leaders give order that breaks the law then they
are held responsible
the government side this unwritten code play
is Observed too instance being the coronation bus strike
Had the Transport board used skebreaker put the buses
back the Streets that would have been violation Of the
derstandng by which most British strikes settled

could find plenty of loophos to wreck the operation Of these
understandings But the significant thing that nine times

the executive without restriction o.
condition. The president, In his re-
lief and agricultural subsidy activi-
ties, maintains a noble, nonpartisan
attitude, and-publicly, at any rate
is oblivious to the immense political
potentialities Of the great money dis.
tributing organizations built up under
his direction and operated by his per-
sonal and political friends.
It Is easy for him to ignore the
political angle and insist, as he has,
that he will not permit politics to en-
ter into these great governmental
operations. That was the pledge he
gave, so far as relief Is concerned, two
years ago when he was given that
first stupendous five-billion- dollar
appropriation. But that did not pre-
vent relief from becoming thoroughly
saturated with politics In every sec
ton Of the country. Nor did It inter-
fere with its complete political capi-
talization in his behalf during the
last campaign. The simple truth is
that in 1894 and In 1885 both the
relief organization and the machinery
set up under the AAA were tremen<
dous political factors, utilized to the
limit by the New Deal politicians in
all the states. Barring energetic and
determined action upon the part Of
the president, it Is as natural and
inevitable that the politicians at
tached to his administration should
do that as 1t is that they should
breathe.
