A SENATOR RUINS
HIS ARGUMENT

Senator Minton, D., Ind, thinks that
section of the American press IS con-
trolled by wealthy men who, IN my
opinion would not scruple to throw TINS
country into fascism rather than sur
render their privileges" he told news
papermen attending a luncheon of the
American Press Society at New York.
Parenthetically, it is interesting to
note that most of the newspapers IN
America-the same newspapers Sen.
Minton charged with base motives and
elf-interest-printed the story of his
bitter attack. Very few of them Used
their news columns the same day to pub
lish any answering comment. Sen. Min
ton was accorded the privilege of using
the very newspapers he had attacked TO
get his attack before the public.
Getting back to the senator's charge
of fascistic leanings by publishers, how
ever, it appears that Sen. Minton has
underrated the intelligence of the men
who publish newspapers. Or perhaps he
has merely overlooked the fact that all
publishers know: that fascism, along
with communism, is the surest way to
lose freedom of the press. Knowing this,
there is not an ethical publisher in the
nation who would not fight to the bitter
end against fascism.
1t must be remembered, however, that
there are two definitions for fascism.
The ordinary definition pictures it as
the sort of government now practiced in
Italy and Germany. The other definition
comes out of Russia. Fascsm, say the
communists, is anything opposed to COM
muniSm.
If we are to take the communistic def
milton of fascism, certainly most of Am
ericas publishers are fascistic. They are
opposed to communism
If, on the other hand, we are to believe
that Sen Minton had reference to fas-
ciam as it exists in Germany and Italy,
we are forced to the conclusion that he
chose his words because they sounded
good, rather than because they meant
anything.
Under fascism, as we'll as communism,
newspapers operate only as long as the
government wants them to operate, they
print only what the government wants
them to print, their editors are fired
when the government wants them fired
and lies are printed as truth when the
government wants the lies printed. Does
Sen. Minton think any American publish
er would be so foolish as to bring such
a calamity on the newspapers of this
country?
We believe not. We do believe, how
ever that Sen. Minton would be heartily
in favor of a condition under which
American newspapers could print only
what the federal government wants
printed. That, in fact, seems to be his
ultimate objective in such attacks as the
one he launched in New York. And in
that desire Gen. Minton himself ap-
proaches a great deal nearer fascism-
or communism-than any of the publish
ers he so bitterly dislikes.

"SPEAk, FIDOw

(Christian Science Monitor)
photographers are supposed to know
almost everything. AT least about words.
DR. Wilfred J. Funk, who incidentally
publishes dictionaries, announces the dis
covery that the average pet dog knows
and responds to a vocabulary Of about
sixty words, and that the erudition of
other dogs ranges from an acquaintance
with ten or more words on the part of a
self-taught, under privileged, rowing,
street dog to recognition of at least
250 different words by highly trained
and sophisticated trick dogs. This all
sounds pretty good for the dogs. In fact,
Dr. Funk says the siXty-word vocabulary
of the average dog is about equal to that
of an eighteen-months-old baby. But how
many full-grown human beings with all
their supposedly superior advantages
know and can distinguish as many as six
ty different words or meanings in the
variegated yippings, mutterings and
barks that make up dogs language?

1T WORKS BOTH WAYS

There has been a lot of criticism of
President Roosevelt's Georgia speeches,
in which he came out strongly for one
set of candidates against another in his
own Democratic party. Most of the criti-
cism is based, we believe, on a false idea
that the President, the minute he as
sumes office, has lost the right of the
average citizen to campaign for whom
he will. The President, in our opinion,
has a perfect right to recommend whom
ever he likes for congress.
We believe, too, that no President who
makes use Of that right should criticize
business. or labor, or any other group
or individual, for doing the same thing.

WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS,
AND WHAT THEY GET;
Riverside Press)

(Riverside Press)
How much do we wish to pay for our
government?
No property owner or taxpayer would
protest against reasonable cost of gov
ernment, but what is a reasonable cost?
First. let Us see what the average citi-
zen wants in his government. What is
the most important thing that he could
expect from the public servant?
Security of person and property comes
first. Mr. Average Citizen would like to
have police protection so that he is safe
in his home and on the streets, but he
not only is paying for the policeman
who protects him, he is paying three
overhead charges-for city, county and
state police-as well as standing the cost
of great deal of useless duplication in
police work.
He would like to have good highways,
yet he is paying for city streets, county
roads and state highways, with three
separate and distinct groups of govern
ment workers, three administration costs
and a great deal of useless expense.
He would like to have his health look
ed after In Riverside county, we have
single health officer for city and county,
but this is only part of the cost. The
state health department is also paid for
by the public, and the county hospital
and its branches and homeless children,
blind and aged, are paid for by both
state and county governments, with
taxes paid to both.
He is glad to pay for parks and recre-
alton, and enjoys the parks which are
maintained by the city, the county and
the state, as we'll as the national govern
ment.
OF course the good citizen realizes
that he must take care of the indigents,
the feeble-minded and insane, and knows
that the county, the state and the feder-
al government are contributing his taxes
for that purpose. He does not quite see,
however, why there should be so many
administrative agencies to do the work.
The administrative costs of govern
ment and the costs of functions serving
small groups or districts do not appeal
to the average taxpayer, who believes
that great deal of simplification might
be carried out, great deal of useless
work avoided and considerable expense
eliminated in these fields
In other words, the "political' end of
government comprises a load of govern
mental cost which might be done away
with altogether if that were possible,
without depriVing the average citizen of
a few things which he demands from gov
ernment, and which he is glad to pay for.
But, as this is the most difficult end
of government to control, and as it builds
itself up year after year, the problem is
a difficult one to solve

was invited. He was so poor that
he did not have shoes; SO he came
barefooted TO the rich mans home.
The great plantation house was
most impressive. In all his life,
the poor boy had never been inside
anything so lovely.
The boys name was Raymond
Robins.
AS the children were playing in
the yard, the dinner-bell sounded;
and the little boy started to rush
joyfully to the house. But as he
raced across the yard, he stepped
on a slippery patch of ground,
stumbled, and fell into mud
puddle. He got up smeared. His lips
trembled What could he do? He
would not have time to go home.
Meanwhile, the dinner would be
disappearing. So he wiped himself
as best he could, then started again
toward the house.
4 The plantation owner saw him.
Look here, you can't go in there
with the others and eat on my fine
linen," he shouted. "You shouldn't
have been so careless, anyway.
You're going to eat in the barn"
The man actually sent him to the
barn, in charge of one Of the Ne
groes.
The boy was humiliated, and,
when the Negros back was turned,
darted away and went home. His
dinner was corn pone and salt
pork.
Now some boys would have been
crushed, and would have assumed
defeated attitude, but not this
little boy. He was a born fighter.
He resolved that some day he
would own that great plantation!
He determined to work hard. He
would make a success of himself.
Nothing should keep him from

Nothing! He failed many times, but

Famous Sayings

The next time you wake up in
the night to worry about the dan
gers of Fascism, and comfort your
self with the thought that it can't
happn here, you might wind up
by offering a worG or TWO of thanks
to the American voter.
For that gentleman, despite the
fact that he often gets a tlighty
streak and puts some unaccounta-
BILE hams in office, is our first and
last line of defense against the idea
of dictatorship. And in his en-
gagements to date he has done pret
ty we'll by himself.
There was, for instance, the re-
cent primary in Kansas.
The Rev. Gerald Winrod was
seeking the Republican nomination
for u. S. senate. A week or two be-
fore the election, strange tales be
gan to circulate: first that he had
dismaying and unmistakable Fascist
tendencies. and second, that he was
rather likely to walk off with the
nomination.
But when the voters got through
with him at the polls, Rev. Mr..
Winrod was just another also-ran.
After appealing to almost every kino
of prejudice and tying to capitalize
on every variety of discomfort, ne
placed a poor third. And it is now
apparent that the wheat belt offers
very slim pickings for homegrown
Hitlers.
Which isn't so very surprising, Oh
course when you stop to thlnK
about it. Yet the thing to keep IN
mind is the fact that is is never
the demagogue who is dangerous;
it is the people who listen to nm
and fall for the line he hands Out.

ROOseUeLts influence
Is it strong enough? =.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON ballyhooed
Roosevelt effort to save the Demo-
cratic party for the New Deal in
1910 has boiled down to these two
aspects: Can the New Deal save
several o-administration senators
from defeat and How far will
Roosevelt 60 to defeat foes in Geor-
gia South Carolina and Maryland?"
Republican leaders and Democrat
ic conservatives say Roosevelt has
lost his political nerve. They base
this chiefly on his continued failure
to attack any anti-NeW Deal SEN
ators of some of his strongest sup
ment OF some of his Stronges sup
porters, and to evident unWillingness
to nose in on congressional primar-
les where his man is likely to be
licked.
The threory may be sustained or
deflated by what Roosevelt does in
those three southern states, in each
of which a definite effort to beat
an incumbent Democratic senator
has been planned.
New Dealers now privately con-
cede that the chances for defeat
of Senator Cotton Ed Smith of
South Carolina by Gov Olin John
ston are very slim. Johnston's fail
ure to line up the state highway
organizations political machinery
has discouraged them. Roosevelt
may not go down the line for john
ston.
Presidential intimates also expect
New Dealish Congressman Davey
Lewis to beat Senator Millard Ty-
dings, consistent administration op-
ponent, in Maryland, after admin
istration opponents have made a
deal with the Baltimore Democratic
machine. New Dealers may botch
this situation as they have others,
but Lewis is making an able, hard
hitting campaign. Some weeks ago
