THE AMERICANS PRIVILEGE OF

THE AMERICANS PRIVILEGE OF
free speech includes the right to say exactly
what he thinks about anything and every
thing and he frequently takes advantage of
that license by lambasting various units of
government, particularly congress and the
state legislature. What we often lose sight
of is that we the people elect our senators
and representatives from our own ranks,
presumably on the basis of honesty and
ability.
Probably two mistakes on our part are
largely responsible for the slight respect we
sometimes feel our legislative bodies merit.
Very little special training is provided for
men who are to serve in such groups. Our
schools offer smattering of government.
History and public speaking are available
to all but not until recently at least has any
definite combination of courses been offered
expressly for future public servants. The
newly elected representative, with other
neophytes, takes his place among the sea-
soned heads and is forced to devote at least
one session to discovering for himself
"what it's all about" By his second term
he is about where he might have been at the
outset with proper training. He is still only
a sophomore among the seniors but at least
he wears no green cap. When his second
term is over, he has-if he was worthy OF
the job in the first place-about acquired the
background necessary to be of service to his
community and state. But by that time, and
this is the second mistake we make, his
promises, which he had no chance to fulfill
as a greenhorn, have caught up with him.
He is branded a Stacker and we proceed to
elect new representative and repeat the
process.
Two classes of men have long tenures
in the legislatures of states and nations.
One class is totally lacking in aggressiveness
but has and holds political following in
some manner not easily understood. The
other small class, the leaders, includes men
who by some unusual ability have been able
both to get things done and keep the favor
of majority of voters. What we must do
is elect more such men and then re-elect
them

burying gold and currency for safe keeping.
The government wanted, and got, all the
gold it could get-to bury in Kentucky. It's
strange word.
MINNESOTA'S LIBERAL BLOC IN
congress is reported to be opposed to the
presidents economy program. If so, they
are out of step with the ideas of Minnesota
taxpayers and the majority of voters.
The federal program was founded on
the theory that the government should
prime the pump with liberal spending when
economic storms drive private investors to
cover. Once primed, the pump certainly
should function on it's own power.
Recovery has reached a pace which
would not be seriously retarded were the
more superficial printing activities aband-
oned; in fact mounting taxes occasioned by
government programs are the most serious
threat at present to sound recovery.
1t is with no thought of cutting taxes
Eat the expense of human misery" that
economy is advocated. Rather it is with the
idea of balancing the budget and cutting
down the public debt during good times so
that the fiscal house will be in order with
money available for printing activities when
another business recession makes it nee
sary.
ONE OF THE LEGISLATIVE ACTS
of the last session which appears at its in
auguration to be eligible for classification as
an achievement is the new state traffic code
which aims at modernization of highway
laws, with needed additions.
Motorists will be wise to make some
study of the regulations, the more vital por
lions of which are outlined in this issue of
The Gazette. Doing so may avoid embarrass
ment, perhaps even an arrest or an accident.
New provisions not only endeavor to
protect other motorists from the driver who
habitually burns up the road" they also
take into account the hazard attendant on the
car which letters in the stream of traffic,
causing other cars to dodge around it again
st the flow from the other direction. Perhaps
it's most important provision is for coming
areas where signs will warn motorists as to
what speeds are considered safe there under
normal circumstances. Standardization of
"stop-go" equipment will be a real help to
the driver whose trips to large cities are in
frequent and the location and nature of the
signal devices, confusing to say the least.

A Liberal Victory For Labor
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 Laborls victory in the General Motors strike settlement surpasses the expectations of most liberal observers It is victory which marks great turn ing point in the status of labor in the United States
 The immediate victor, of course is John L. Lewis. The immediate successful concilator is Governor Murphy, of Michigan To them, and to William S.. Knudsen, vice president of General Motors and his colleagues, who have made such broad and public spirited concessions, due the congratulations and plaudts of people
 But to President Franklin D. Roosevelt is due the lasting honor and respect of all parties Hss
 It was Roosevelt's liberalism which brought labor out of the paralysis suffered in the days of Hoover. It was Roosevelt who gave labor strength through official recognition of the principle of collective bar gaining And in this particular strike, it Roose- velt who applied pressure remote, but none the less effective for the present settlement
 To General Motors credit let it be said that des- pte early obstnacy its officials showed increasing disposition to be conciliatory
 For thing, they withheld demand for forcble eviction of the st-down strikers and thus prevented bloodshed. For another thing, they retreated from their earlier position in which they demanded eviction of the G. M plants as a condition precedent to any negotiation.
 Now they recognize the principle of collective bargainng-the first great mass production indus try to do so-and thus set the seal of Big Business approval collective bargaining.
 Under the terms of the settlement, John L. Lewis virtually has six months to unionize the General Motors plants
 If he cannot do it in that tme the nation may well be surprised. This master labor strategist would scarcely have made this bargain without confidence that by August he will command majortes in all 20 plants involved in the agreement if not in the other AT General Motors plants as we'll t y.a
 But if he fails, under the Wagner Act he can scarcely demand that the U. A. w. A. be the sole bar gaining agency in those plants.
 Meanwhile workers in all General Motors plants enjoy -cent-an-hour wage increase which amounts to $2 additional for 40-hour week, production will be resumed the interruption of buying power will be at end-and the settlement may be the basis for lasting era of not only peace, but deeper under standing and mutual appreciation by both sides
 In short this victory may well mean the end of opposition to collective bargaining and its establish maintaining the balance between capital and labor.

WHO'S WHO ON THEssUpREME BENCH

Not since Maine and Vermont decided to stay Puritan there been such a. furore raised in high and low places over the state of the Union that caused by the Presidents recommendation for speed ing up the judiciary by appointment of additional judges Packing the Court" has become the slogan of the opposition with the result that the nations eyes have been turned on the Supreme Court all though MT Roosevelt very plainly covered the entire judicial branch of government and not particularly the high tribunal.
 However, in view of the apparent fact that the fight is to ensue about the Supreme Court it is in- teresting to refer to the record that body and refresh the memory just who makes up the nations highest bench. a4

Astrologers read this as a day more fortunate for those who exer- else authority than for those who take orders. There may be serious conflict affecting industry. l Airplane manufacturing is sub lject to planetary government which presages many complications I in which the United States may suffer losses or disappointments. Warning has been given repeat Iedly that many accidents in the skies would cause anxiety and eff fleet air travel. The stars seem to fdown upon flyers.
 More concentration of power may be noticeable in government affairs. Leadership this year will prove ex- acting as a result of certain influ- ences compelling drastic policies.
 Measure of national well-being must be taken by study of condi- tions among those who require pub lie aid. The seers forecast that the relief problem will never be entirely eliminated.
 There is sign read as presag- ing continued dissensions in labor organizations and numerous splits in various unions.
 Changes among directors of work CTS associations may be sudden and more or less sensational. In high est places new persons will attain control
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of business. Employees probably will be pro- noted. Journeys will be fortunate for many.
