It has been an unpleasant occur

has involved Lindbergh in aslarge
amount of unpleasant publicity re-
garding his alleged stand on the de-
ficiencies of Great Britain, France,
Russia and Czech air fleets. His
reported criticism was brought up
by Russian air officials and made
an unpleasant situation worse. Fol-
lowing this affair Lindbergs flew to
Berlin, where he met with Hitler's
airmen and where he was publicly
decorated with NaZi medal. This

King County now proposes to
take over the operation of ferries
plying Lake washington. Newspa-
per reports indicate that Commits
sioners claim to have discovered
present private operators making
the twenty-five thousand dollars per
year. The Commissioners records
for the years in which these ferries
were operated by the county gives
one the idea that any private profit
is likely to quickly vanish when the
operation of this business again goes
under political management. King
County taxpayers are probably In

the beginning has endeavored to improve the scheme
of things.
Each such effort meant new bureau, with
new chief, divisional assistants, field and once
workers and new offices.
Once established, the first concern of eacn Du-
reau was to perpetuate itself, publicze its useful
ness Cat public expense, of cOurse), wangIe more
money from the treasury and i'm Ease its powers.
And since the jobs it provide were political
plums politicians refused to abolish it, that each
new bureau in turn became perpetual burden on
the taxpayers and an everlasting charge against
everybody's earnings.
Most of the increase in government agencies has
occurred within the last forty years. In 1900 the
average citizen was scarcely aware of government;
now the number of civil employees exceeds 5000
And while the governments per capita expenditure
was S745 in 1900 last year it was more than $50
The process never changes, never halts. More

BIBLE THOUGHT
HIS SUPPORT
TAKING HAWAII INTO THE UNION
nv BRUCE CATION


The ioint congressional committee which
made junket to Hawaii last summer sure
" must have known before leaving the
U. s. mainland that the recommendation II
inst made to the Senate and House was a
foregone conclusion.
The committee advised that proposal
TO admit Hawaii to the Union as the 49th
state be deferred pending further study,
and mentioned two reasons" present dis
turbed condition of international affairs,
and possible plebiscite.
The committee could have obtained the
information which led to that recommen-
dation by reading few disturbing" head
lines in the daily newspapers and by five
minutes study in the Congressional Ii
brary.
Hawaii was annexed by the United States
in 1898 on Hawaii's own request, after four
wears of the republic which followed the
deposing of Queen LiHuekalani. In 1904
the islands were constituted as a territory
and a government set up which consists
of a Senate and a House, elected; and a
governor and secretary appointed by the
President of the United States.
Those facts are contained in one para
graph of the Statesman's Yearbook. An
adjacent paragraph gives some figures.
The estimated population of Hawaii in
1885 was 384,437, including;
Hawaiians, 21,71O.
Part Hawaiians, 35,978.
Japanese, 148,972.
The remainder are miscellaneous-thou
sands of Americans, Chinese and Filipinos,
a smaller number of Puerto Ricans, Span
ish, Russians, Koreans, British and Ger
mans. There are more Americans than
Chinese, many more Japanese than both
Americans and Hawaiians.
BY annexnig Hawaii into a state, the
government would presumably be adopt
ing as American citizens the mixed races
of the islands. Each one would have con-
stitutionally free access into the AZ other
states of the Union.
In 1882 the voters of Hawaii numbered
71,16S, of which 21,836 were Hawaiians
or part Hawaiians, 1858 Americans and
the remainder-a majority of 36,741-di-
vided among other races.
That leaves at least two pretty doubtful
aspects to the annexation idea, even dis
regarding the 1000 miles between Hawaii
and the other states.
Does the United States want that hetero-
geneous racial mixture with full statehood
privileges?
And with that voting mixture, would the
citizens of Hawaii favor annexation if the
matter came to plebiscite, anyway?

NEwsPAPERs' OPINIONS
COME AS GuEsTs-REMAIN TO RULE

Patriots weep in dsmay or helpless evaporation
when theorist obtains control of their nation.
For the theorists one idea is to make his theory
work, and to this end he will violate natural and
economic laws and sacrifice the nation itself.
An American engineer. lately returned from Rus,
STA after years of service there, tells the fantastic
story of the "colleetvzation" of the nations cattle
For ages the Nonads had roaned the steppes,
following the grass with their herds of earels,
and sheep. Left free to live as they pleased
they had proved their ability TO supply the nations
meat. But results mattered less than method. They
were not "socialized." ~
So Stain took their cattle; sent the wild Nonads
themselves to labor in the mines; and appointed
loyal politicians to manage the herds for the COM
mon good Since that time, meat has been scarce
and only good party men can afford it.

w these days one can never be
quite sure what the administra-
ion is going to do next, there is
only one prospective signpost
which will point to whatever
road Roosevelt means to take in
The up-until-recently fiourishing
anti-monopoly attack.
Someone will have to be appoint
I'd to replace Robert H. jackson
when he steps from the assistant
attorney generalship in charge Of
antitrust cases into the office of
solicitor general. Mr.. Jackson dis
played an uncommon amount of
interest in Strengthening and en-
forcing the antitrust laws,
although hampered in the latter
effort by lack of funds and court
weakened statutes.
If Jackson's place is filled by a
nan whose interest in breaking
up illegal business combinations
IS doubtful, the New Deal anti
monopoly crusade may be con-
Sidered to have withered and died.
General Counsel James L. Fly of
IVA is the man receiving the
most vigorous backing of the New
Deals would-be trust-busters.
Meanwhile, search behind the
scenes makes it plain that no one
has yet lifted a finger toward
formulation of such an anti-n1o-
aopoly program as has long been
promised by Roosevelt.

THEY RECALL PROMISES

After all the ''little business men" did no more
than recall promises made in the presidential cam
paign of 1882. No thinking person expected these
little business men" to follow any other course
for they know very well that they have been and
are being punished by the extravaganza OF the
federal government by it's counterfeit panaceas.
What did the little business men" recommend?
Here:
Repeal the capital gains and undistributed sur
plus tax.
Encourage investment of capital in private en-
terprse.
Curtail governmental expenditures
Clarity the antitrust laws.
Cease attacks upon employers
Hold employer and employe alike responsible for
observance of labor agreements.
Amend the Wagner labor act.
Abandon attempts to enact federal wage-hour
legislation.
In form or in spirit every one of these was con-
tanned in the Democratic national pledges and
promises in 1882 The candidate of the Democratic
party went about the country assuring that the
federal government would be economical and that
there would be fair play. He assured also that ne
would strive to carry out the party platform
pledge to revise the tariff downward.
Always will there be hewers Of wood and draw
