A CASE FOR CRAFTSMANSHIP

today's railroad problem.
We hear much of the opinions, po-
licies and differences of railway man.
agement, railway labor and govern
ment regulating authorities. But we
hear little of that vast, unorganized
group of Americans who have most
to lose if the lines continue along the
road to ruin-the owners of the indus
try, who have purchased its stock and
bones.
Hundreds of thousands of citizens
most of them of moderate means, r
direct owners of railroad securities
and are thus directly dependent, in
whole or in part, on the railroads for
their livelihood, and old age security.
Millions of other citizens are indirectly
owners of the industry. Every man or
woman, for example, who WINS a life
insurance policy or a savings account
has a vital interest in the railroads
for banks and insurance companies
have always been among the largest
holders of the industry's securities.
The interest of these millions in
the the railroads transcends that o.
either railway management or labor.
AnG it is to these millions that manage
ment, labor and the government owe a
tremendous and unacceptable response
bility. The crash OF the railroads would
near chaos throughout u whole eco
nomic order. 1t would mean unemploy-
ment, commercial failure and general
business depression on an unprecend-
ented scale. 1t would mean the ruin of
an untold number of individuals.

writer had in mind when he used the
quoted term DOLLHOUSE. We would not
like to believe such journalism, even

mot Aims, But Opportunity"

We are reminded of this, the Motto
of the National Urban League, by the
prevalence at this time of the year of
those who would give aims to the less
fortunate. Charity, we r told by st.
Paul, is the greatest Of virtues, but we
don't believe he meant that kind of
charity that would give a man a dime
for coffee and rolls when he is hungry,
but would not lend a helping hand to
aid the same man to secure a job and
rehabilitate himself.
1t seems to us that far too many
Negroes are accepting aims of instead
of seeking opportunity and that those
of us who promote the benefits" that
give Christmas baskets to the poor are
aiding and abetting this social tenden-
cy. Were we as diligent in behalf Of
making these same people self-sustain-
ing there would be fewer Negroes on
the relief rolls or seeking "handout" at
Christmas times.
We fully realized that there are
The Omaha guide., 1938-12-31

those who through sickness, old age or
other circumstances over which they
have no control, are in need of food and
clothing and would be unable to get
these things but for the aid of their
more fortunate neighbors. Neverthe-
less, we also know that there are far
too many colored families who make it
2 practice to go from place to place and
register for baskets or anything else
that is being given away. They have
no scruples about accepting two or even
two or even three such baskets if they
can get them.
Such people have lost al lsense of
pride and have made up their minds
that the world owes them a living. They
cannot become an asset to their city or
race until they too adopt as the motto
for their personal lives-"Not Aims but
Opportunity" New York Age.

they need.
Business believes that; the gigantic
spending program by the government
many achieve temporarily a degree of
success for its immediate detectives,
they also believe that it is dissipating
the resources that r vital to perma-
nent recovery and ultimately it must
be paid for by a grinding burden of
taxes. The withdrawal of these addi-
tional tax billions from legitimate IL
dustry diminishes the ability of bust
ness to provide more goods and more
jobs in the future.

from taxes which are passed on to the
consumer. Corporation taxes and i'm
port duties raise the prices of the goods
people buy; so do excuses on liquor and
tobacco, playing cards and matches,
automobiles and tires, gasoline and oil,
radios and refrigerators and admission
to amusements.
Only five per cent of Americas vot-
ers pay income tax, the other 80 per
cent are taxed heavily on the goods
they buy. If the government collected
the bulk of it's revenues in direct taxes
on commodities, the very poor would
pay a lot less in taxes, and therefore

THINGS M
BY K. NJ. Hofer

In Il conversation with one of the
nations leading bankers, | gained a
new impression of banking. The banker
said.
People think of me as sitting on
top of the world of a pile of money-my
money. They don't stop to think that
it's their own money that | am respon-
sible for protecting. 1t doesn't seem to
enter their heads that | am just a paid
hand, that lie awake nights worrying
about my responsibility of caring for
that pile of money which ear be claim
ed by its owners, the banks depositors,
at any time.
"A bank that did not loan money to
businesses and industries that maintain
q local community, would not be pa
tronized by the people, and it wouldn't
deserve their patronage. This means
that if a community fails, a bank has
to carry a great share of the load. Peo-
like bankers because they have
to consider the more pessimistic side
of the business picture, knowing that
the public will blame the bank instead
of itself for community failures which
result from the many aus beyond
the bankers control.
ut makes me laugh when | am
pictured as sitting on a pile of money.
A nor accurate picture would show
me with a wrinkled brow trying to
make loans that will be safe from los
ses due to undue business optimism
and all the pitfalls Of business risk.
People don't like bankers, and you can't
blame them, for too often they have to
turn down the financial requests of
their best friends"

THE HOME

Government of the people, by the
people, and for the people. This form
of government guarantees the protec-
ton of life, liberty, and property to-
gether with certain definite rights
freedom of religion, and of speech both
spoken and written, the right of peace
full assembly, and all rights that may be
implied in the pursuit of happiness"
At this moment we are exercising many
OF these rights because we live in a
democratic country.
On the other hand democracy pre-
Supposes the assumption of cer.ain re-
sponsibilitles such as participation in
government by the governed, under
standing and practice of the principles
upon which u government is founded
intelligent cooperation with govern
ment alertness. The entire structure of
democracy rests on the premise that
the government and the people are one;
thus, is the people fail to fulfil the
functions of government and grow lax
both in attitude and in performance,
then the ideal will become confused,
and subversive propaganda will creep
into our midst. External vigilance is
the price of liberty" said the statesman
and it is indeed a small price to pay.
Facism, Nazism and otherisms, are
all in direct oppositions to democracy.
In the latter the people are supreme
and constitute the reason for the exis-
tence of government; in each of the
former the impersonal government is
supreme and people live for the state.
BE it ever so humble, there is no
place like home" sang the poet and we
can testify that it is the dearest spot on
earth. 1t is a fundamental unit of civil
cation, the cradle of ideal, exerting a
refining and sustaining influence with
out which civilization could not exist.
In this spot held sacred to Individual
expression a mar may live his life in
his own way so long as he does not in
terfere with the wellbeing of his neigh
Dor. Democracy recognizes the home
as one of its most precious c~omponents,
nurtures and proptests it, and grants
