No Easy Road Back

There is so much loose talk in political
circles about the right to job" that it
has become almost meaningless. rights"
have become confused with Opportunities. .
The United States Constitution and Bill of
Rights guarantee every citizen fundamental
rights that make him a free man to enioy
the opportunity to 60 as far as he can,
based on his ability, ambition and energy.
Beyond that, government owes a free man
nothing except if he is destitute or mental
Iy deficient, or handicapped in ways beyond
his control. Government should then pro-
vide satisfactory means for his care and COM
fort-that is what government is for. But
to try to fool the people with the idea that
the government owes man living and
can create and maintain countless millions
of jobs, without destroying a free country,
is rank hypocrisy.
Vote-Seeking politicians are trying to
make millions of war workers think a be-
nign government can take oyer all their
troubles after the war Within reason, a
government can widen the "opportunities"
whereby men can have jobs, recreation and
high wages. The extent to which one takes
advantage of opportunities, depends upon
the will and purpose of the individual AS
government or anyone else can expand "op-
portunities," the chances for advancement
IN living standards are greater, but in no
sense are such benefits rights" to which
anyone is entitled, without respect to his
own effort to obtain them.
History has shown that when the people
of any nation depend on government to do
their thinking and providing for them, it
is only short time before they lose their
ambition, their initiative and their freedom.
There will be no easy road to full employ
ment and prosperity after this destructive
war.

much consumers were paying for
liquor in those cities.
1t was the Lock-Parrish report
that emphasized such facts as
these: Michigan bottle prices aver
age 81 cents less than Illinois bot
tie prices and 10 cents less than
New York prices. Michigan Is a
monopoly state whereby govern
ment functions as both wholesaler
and retailer; Illinois and New York
are open states whereby private
dealers pocket the profit.
even with the wartime 10 per
cent increase in liquor prices, as
proposed by the state legislature,
Michigan bottle prices will average
less than those in open states" re-
ports Chairman Aaron.
"Basically, Michigans system is
sound. Our problem is one of con-
troll, rather than of revenue. The
public must insist upon law en-
forcement by local governments
which receive IS per cent of the
liquor license fee revenue just for
that specific purpose. We have
nothing to hide under the rug, and
we welcome the public's coopera-
ton"
Aaron indicated that the state
commission had responsibility in
imposing SITTER penalties on law
offenders whole licenses are subject
to revelation.

Folly Brought Home

Practically everyone is in the habit of
blaming the war exclusively for the dam
gerouS growth of government control over
the people. The plain fact is that the coun-
try was headed for such control long be-
fore war started. The war did no more than
greatly speed up the trend.
The underlying cause of attempts to
freeze prices, wages and other costs, can
be described in four words-government
spending beyond income. For years the
people have been warned of what this kind
of spending was leading to. War has
brought home the folly of annual govern
ment deficits without limit, in a way that
will be remembered for many generations.
The war will not end the emergency" of
borrowed money. That is why some people
who fear the consequences of excessive
government borrowing, are turning to in
creaSingly dictatorial government, in the
hope of escaping the inevitable price of
unlimited government borrowing.
1t is vicious circle-the more the gov
eminent borrows, the more it must con-
troll. The only winners will be those who
want to see American representative gov
eminent and the freedom of the people
destroyed. The only ones who can break
the circle are the people themselves, by
revolving against both peacetime borrow
ing and regulation.

Who's Got A Cigarette?

Wyandotters who have stood in the long

or Macs or any of the other local drug
stores to purchase pack of cigarettes have
sometimes been heard to remark that the
one reason for the cigarette shortage was
