What Are Politics?

In these days before another
Presidential election, we hear a
great deal about politics and
parties. but the largest group of
the people continue to consider
government as a game in the hands
of groups of men called politicians,
rather than as a representative at
fair for which they, themselves,
are responsible.
Springing from a Greek word
which meant "the rights Of a
citizen" the term politics" pro
perly means the art and practice of
government. The term playing
politics" is an exact expression
when used to designate "politi
clan" in the wrong sense. for It
signifies that unscrupulous methods
are making game Of government
for personal ends, instead of an
institution for the good OF the
governed.
Good representation is the point
of great moment in good Democra
tic government in this hour. Those
who are trained thinkers and
doers. whose lives commend them
as leaders, should stand at the
head. and they should be governed
by unselfish motives. There Is a
vast distance between that which
is truly political in the genuine
sense of the word and the present
day political aspects Of much hu
man government. But more and
more, politics" Is being recogniz
ed as a social science rather than
as a game. It is being taught In
our schools as such, and sooner OF
later will come to be regarded as
a sacred obligation of the citizenry
rather than the business Of run
ming for office"
There is no more important con
sideration before the people OF
the United States than the choice
of good representatives, from the
highest to the lowest political posi-
tions. Upon the character and
capabilities of our representatives
depend the future of democracy
THE people elect We're we to
choose our course with greater de
liberation and prayer, we should
have less to complain of In matters
OF great and small moment to the
welfare of the whole.

Recreational Aid
Take Away From
Coolidge

Due to some quirk In the law
Coolidge has lost the services of
its Recreational Directors, George
Marich and w. L. Cleveland. There
seems to be plenty Of money ap-
propriated for this purpose but
through the failure OF the Board of
Supervisors to give their permis-
sion to the State to use funds for
this purpose the two Recreational
supervisors were cut off. However
a number OF business men are
working to have this technically
rectified and IL is hoped that Mr..
Marich and Mr.. Cleveland will be
put back in the positions they
formerly held very soon.

Americans Display
Courage In Home
Building Plans

Americans are displaying com
mendable courage and confidence
through their plans for home build
ing and repairs, despite disturbing
world wide conditions, according
to Federal Housing Administration
officials.
This confidence is reflected IN
the record breaking number OF
small home mortgages and the vast
volume of property repair notes
insured by FILA.
That the activity is not conrlnea
to large metropolitan centers is
shown in the large valume of small
home mortgages insured and prop
erty repair notes reported from
the country centers of $4,000 popu-
lation or less.
Gall of this gives hope that the
building industry may yet prove
the answer to the pressing problem
of which phase of industry will
bring about the steady and sound
upward advance necessary for
healthy business progress" one
FHA official said.

Stable Price Prime
Factor in Building

One factor of prime considera-

stability in real estate, declared
Administrator Steward Mcdonald.
Leveling real estate cycles and
creating SOUND long term values
for both small homes and neighOor-
hoods are questions which concern
the FILA, he explained.
"As every student of municipal
affairs knows" he said, "neighbor-
hood blight with it's devastating
repercussions on values and tax in
come is the glaring weakness of
our American cities, and a rising
tax rate with inability to collect
is the nemesis of every mu-
nicipality."

no Rotarian could speak on any
subject. Several of the brave mem
bers made halting attempts to say
something, only to be called "out
of order" and made to pay fine.

were dressed in feminine ATTIRE
