state and national offices-includ-
ing the presidency. Perhaps you
never attended a precinct meet
ing. Perhaps you never heard OF
precinct meetings. Ring politi-
clans do not want anyone but
their own henchmen to hear of
precinct meetings or attend them.
The real success Of this nation
depends on the amount of inter
est the individual voter takes in
the precinct meetings in his own
precinct. The majority of the
people of this country are honest
and will vote honestly if they
have a chance. The aim of pred
atory politicians is to make it i'm
possible for honest citizens to ex-
press their honest desires; and no
matter how much honesty a voter
has, he can't do much good with
it if when he goes to the polls ne
finds nothing honest to vote for.
Abraham Lincoln said, You
can fool some of the people all
of the time, and all of the people
some Of the time, but you cannot
fool all of tn people all the time"
Quite so. But that is sufficient
fooling to enable machine poll
ticians to put it over on the peo-
pie most of the time. An inform
ed electorate is the only hope OF
the democracy. Will you make 1t
your business to become an in

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ASTOUNDING STORY

The most astounding piece of graft uncovered IN
recent years is that about the phantom CCC camp
in the national park service in the Shenandoah
valley. 1t is not by any means such big swindle
but the manner in which government clerk man
aged to get away with his populations so long is
matter of great mystery
clerk named Stitley, voucher clerk in the park
service, investigators charge, was rare combina-
ton-a red tape-bound voucher chief with fan
tastic imagination. When he saw thousands of
vouchers passing through his hands In payment of
work done in CCC camps, it is alleged that he got
a Baron Munchhausen impulse and set up phan-
tom CCC camp all his own.
at had number, specific location--in the
Shenandoah National Park-and was manned by
full corps Of workmen. The sleuths say he wrote
letters to himself complaining OF working cond-
tons, saved carbon copies Of his answers prornis
ing investigation and kept accurate books on the
camps operations, with long list of names-all
fctitious-ofcemen, carpenters, plumbers, and
mechanics employed in the phantom camp.
ale was finally arrested on the charge that when
payday came around, he made out vouchers to his
phantom workers, carried them over to the treas
ury got checks in return, then Endorsed them with
the various invented names and deposited the
money to his own account.
"This alleged mulctng enabled Stitley, whose
salary was SO, 800 year, to live like plutocrat
He played the horses, bet on ball games, and IN
vested heavily in the stock market. He bought
liquor by the case and entertained with the lavish
ness of prize-fght promoter.

on for more than three years before the govern
nient accountancy caught up with t"-Cleveland

INCREASING TREND

Twenty states now have graduated chain store
taxes and the public, as usual, is paying the bill
! A small chain of five stores, according to the
Industrial News Review, pays total special tax
of but $40 in Iowa or Minnesota but it must pay
1910 in Florida and s5O5 In Montana.
A chain of 20 stores pays sl95 In Iowa and
$4,000 in Idaho. s..s .
The top rate is in Texas where $3.50 per store
must be paid in special taxes for each store over
SO.
Results are becoming evident
A major chain recently closed large number
of stores in Pennsylvania, where chain Of 500
stores must pay special tax of s1s4,ooo. This
means that employees were thrown out of work
property was vacated, competition was lessened
and price advances were made easier--all at the
expense of the general public.-Greenville Is. Co.

representatives the solutions they
refer to US for acceptance or re-
lection may be bad, worse or
worst; and the best the people
can do is to vote for the least
obnoxious of the propositions.
Again and again the conscientious
voter goes to the polls and feels
sense of nausea when he scans
the names of the candidates or
the propositions he must vote for
if he votes for anything.
We should bear constantly in
mind that since we are as big as
we are, we can have no democ-
racy except a representative de-
mocracy; and that unless we use
sense and conscience in choosing
our representatives, we shall not
have a represented democracy but
misrepreSented democracy.
Necessarily, as things are, we
must be governed by a minority
to which we delegate authority
periodically renewed. 1t is when
this delegated authority is renew
ed that we can act to renew our
government and make it whole
some and trustworthy by select
ing persons to represent us who
are wholesome and trustworthy.
1t is in the meetings in the va
rious local precincts where our
government actually heads up;
for it is in these precinct meet
ings that the persons are chosen
who will select our candidates
and determine how our elections
shall be conducted. 1t is the pre-

ers in the various precincts who

V7AsHINGTON-Mr. CHI arlie
w Michelson's indiscretion in
taxing on a fat job as public rela-.
lions consultant for the Crosley
Radio Corporation, in addition to
h;s sos 600 post as publicity chief
for tie Democratic National Com
nittee, probably will be corrected.
It is true that the Nicholson
crosley contract specifies that his
duties shall not include practice
before any government agency.
Experienced Washingtonians are
not especially impressed by that.
Nicholson is influential in the
government and he can get many
things he wants from it.
IN the other hand, "Charlie
~ Mike" should not be singled
out for this sort Of thing and held
up alone to scorn. Generally
speaking, the whole New Deal has
given an exhibition of doubtful
personal ethics on the money
waking front.
Members Of the Roosevelt fam
lily have shown no reluctance to
cash IN on the elevation of F. D.
r. and it's rare cabinet member
who hasn't had employees on the
public payroll write him a book
or magazine article which later
appeared under his signature, the
assumption being that he person.
ally pocketed any profit involved.
In cases Of obvious improperly
on the part Of government or
party officials, Mr.. Roosevelt usu-
ally has acted only when his hand
was forced.
THE likelihood that Nicholson
will shortly be forced to choose
between Crosley and the party
rests on the certainty that there
will be sustained cutlery about his

to try to hold them. Not only from

PRODUCTION FOR USE'-ITS REAL
MEANING

The next time you near someone taihhs
about production for use" stop and think
il over. A moments reflection will show
you that all production is for use. and that
the phrase, unless further explained, SIM
ply doesn't mean anything.
Americans have generally believed that
more goods would be produced, and that
they would be cheaper and more widely
distributed, under private ownership and
free competition than under any other sys-
tenn. Socialists, Communists, and various
shades of radicals believe that more goods
will be produced, and more people will be
able to buy them under some kind OF a
centralized governmental system without
private profits. a., Oh"
But the object is precisely the same in
both cases, to produce as many goods as
possible and distribute them as widely as
possible. The difference is only in the
method-that is, who shall say how much
shall be produced and how it shall be dis
tributed -s..s, 90. hc's "tc'
Shall public functionaries hired by the
state make the decisions and administer
them, or shall the decisions be forged out
of the individual decisions of millions Of
private individuals, urged on by the hope
of private profit and curbed only by the
limitations of their own efficiency and the
purchasing power of the public? g.,
Russia for the last 20 years has been en-
gagged on the first large-scale trial of the
state theory. Whether that system will be
able to outshine the American system in
the actual, physical results demanded re-
mains yet to be seen.
But what the American system can do,
and has done, may be seen merely by look
ing about. In the wide distribution of a
multitude of goods, it would be hard to
match any other country's achievements
against those of this country. q, .ar. !
In an advertisement recently, one big
electric company produced some data that
is very interesting. pointing out how much
cheaper electric light bulbs are than they
were in 1921. But in the course of their ar
gument they brought in some other things
that are even more significant. =
In 1900, for instance, not one family in
a hundred had horse and buggy. Yet
today three out of fourfamilies have autos.
In 1S00,i one family in ID had telephone,
while today every other family has one. In
1900 fewer. than 100000 homes had cleo
tricity. Today, 21,0o0,00o homes are wiz
ed, 100000 have electric refrigerators,
$4,000, 900 have radios. Z.
All this means that, IN spite of many la
mentable shortcomings of the present sys-
tenn in America, it has done great deal
toward distributing to those who work the
fruit of their labor--that is, the goods pro-
duced. ID.
It is not good enough record, even yet.
There is much to be done. But pertinent
question to ask Of the, discontinued is
who has done better?" ....,,..
