National Government Policy
To Blame for Conditions

nave been wondering, therefore,
what had actuated the selfish inter-
ests of the country to start on this
spree Of battling among themselves.
There must have been some reason
behind that. At least, I have come
to believe there is. I believe that
the condition fundamentally springs
from national government policy
which for years now has been in
the direction of destroying the rights
of individual states. Little by little,
the federal government has torn
away the rights of the states-and
the states, with pain reduced by fed
eral money, have permitted it.
Suddenly, however, the states and
their citizens have discovered their
whole jurisdiction is enveloped in
creeping paralysis. We have all
noted resentment in the last few
years at the encroachment of fed
eral regulation upon individual
rights and freedom. When these
things were realized by the rank
and file of the people, there devel-
oped a new disease as counter
irritant, the disease of knocking the
other fellow off. 1t will take more
than socialized medicine to correct
it. The national governments poll
cies, having started it, will have to
assume the blame and will have to
find a way to remedy the condition.
I hope Mr.. Halleck, and those he
has enlisted to help him, can find the
proper prescription for the cure.

THE GOOD CITIZEN

HE first requisite Of a good cil-
I zen in this republic Of ours is that
he be able and willing TO pull his
weight."-Theodore Roosevelt.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-03-24

From mid-May to mid-June, Great
Britain's King George and Queen
Elizabeth will be guests of the North
American continent on junket
which most good Americans regard
as simple, friendly gesture. But
as travel time approaches, the royal
expedition is meeting with far more
distracting bogeymen than Toron-
to's Dionne quintuplets, which are
being shipped 100 miles under pro-
test to curtsy before their queen.
From June 8 to II the royal party
will visit the U. S. Because the
entire journey was planned last win
ter in the heat of international chat
ter about democratic solidarity"
more than one anti Chamberlain
writer has tried to place the prime
minister in a difficult position. A
sample, by one Peter Howard in
Lord Beaverbrook' Daily Express:
"Now the royal visit puts Chamber
lain himself on trial. If it succeeds
Chamberlain goes up. If it fails he
goes down."
What Englishmen mean by "suc-
cess" or failure" of the American
visit was finally brought into fairly
close focus, but it still remained a
doubtful quantity. Probable mean
ing: The visit will "fail'' if U. S.
citizens get the impression that King
George and Queen Elizabeth are
making a begging expedition to gain
American aid in pulling England's
.chestnuts out Of the European fires.
Politics
IF Bergen can put sUords into the
mouth OF Charlie Mccarthy; il President
Roosevelt finds it very Convenient to use
Ickes, Hopkins, Jackson ct al as mouth
pieces or stooges, tUhy shouldn't use my
friend 'Stufy,' the old gray squirrel Of
the White House lat0n?"
Thus reasoned illinois, Republican
Rep. Noah Morgan Mason, to whom
an idea had come while watching an
unidentified squirrel scamper across
the White House greensward. Said
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-03-24

most subjects that it seems almost
hopeless job to untangle them.
For example, there are ITO differ
ent state laws dealing with the la
belling and grading of farm prod
ucts. A good ear of corn in one
state won't be recognized as good
ear of corn in another. My friend,
the ordinary irish potato may be ac-
cepted as No. / in one state, and
find himself as No. 8 in another. A
bottle Of beer in Missouri, tax paid
and respectable there, becomes vir-
tually bottle of slop in an adjoin-
ing state. Wines from grapes grown
in California cannot possibly be as
good as wines grown from grapes in
Oregon, because the Oregon law says
so and lays burdensome tax to
prevent Oregon citizens from having
their stomachs corroded or some
thing. Cement entering Florida, for
time, was not as good as cement
produced in Florida and Florida was
prepared to tax it-until the case got
to the Supreme court of the United
States.
States Differ as to What
Constitutes a Truck Load
Take another and less known con-
dition-less known because fewer
people come in contact with it, but
it enters into the cost of the things
you buy, just the same. ! refer to
state laws about load limits of
trucks. / don't have any love for
trucks; they are so doggoned big
these days that l want to take to
the timber when I see one of them
coming head-on along the highway.
But they have rights. Yet, there
are no two states as far as I can
learn that have the same regulation
about the size of a trucks load. The
trucks can be regulated because
they use the highways, and yet one
state says 100000 pounds is load
and another state says $4,000 pounds
is a load. The others have laws
specifying a load at varying sizes
in between, and there you are! Just
what is load, anyway?
The truth of the matter is that
local interests are to blame in most
cases. They are taking advantage
of situations to further their own
selfish ends. And where are they
leading to with this polyglot of leg
islation?
The whole thing seems a bit in
congruous to me. Here, on the one
hand, Mr.. Cordell Hull, the very
able and valuable secretary of state,
has been moving heaven and earth
to get rid of trade barriers between
nations. Reciprocal trade treaties,
he calls his method. Some of them
seem to work badly, and some 9TH
ers appear to be producing results,
but no one knows yet whether the
whole system should be kept or
thrown out. That question does not
belong here. It is the national pol
icy of breaking down obstacles, jar
ring loose log jams, so that our
products may move into other ma
tons that is important to be consid-
cred when within our own bounda-
ries every known means is being
used to block shipments and sales
between states. I cannot figure it
out unless some folks are strict fol-
lowers of the Biblical injunction not
to let the left hand know what the
right hand doeth.
