If you do not see eye to eye
with me, you are wrong. Is that
the way you feel about things!
Did YOU ever stop to think that
the fellow who disagrees with
you thinks the same thing? Often
I have heard that there can be
only one right. I have long since
discarded that theory. Every
person has a philosophy, whether
he calls it by that name or not,
and every person is Just as much
entitled to his belief as am
to mine. Only the Omnipotent
is perfect; man is going onward
towards perfection. The political
crises through which we are
passing, the wars, cold and hot,
which are being wsged, are all
steps in evolution toward per-
lection. Every human being IS
an instrument Of the Creator;
every human being has his Job
TO do; every human being IS
DOING what the Creator wants
him to do. Quite a statement to
make? Well, the Creator is On
nipotent, and no puny man, or
group Of men can even delay the
program Of omnipotence. So, you
walk in tn Light that you see;
I'll walk in the Light that I see;
and if, while doing the work as
signed to US, we build up chsrac-
tiers which become assets to the
program Of the Creator, He will
keep US working for Him etern-
ally. The option TO embrace His
program, or to reject His offer
Of steady Job, is left 70 each
Of US. Give the other fellows
views : respect that YOU wish
for yours. Everybody is right.

voted for" Supporters of the bill
had argued that it was unfair for
union funds to be pledged to a
candidate whom 49 per cent of the
dues-paying members of the union
might intend to oppose with their
ballots.
The Political Action Committee
of the CIO Immediately took the
position that, while it no longer
could contribute funds to the cam
paign of a candidate, it neverthe-
less was as free as the wind to
spend the same sum in behalf of
the candidate. This splitting of
legal hairs resulted in the collec-
ton of 81, ,4O5, 600 by the PAC in
1914, despite the recently passed
curb on political spending by
unions.
Seldom does anyone come to
trial for violation of a Corrupt
Practices statute. In some states
it unquestionably is more risky to
steal a crate of tomatoes than to
steal a great election through ille-
gal expenditures. One of the few
prosecutions under an election law
took place last year in Maryland.
John M. Jonkel, campaign mana
ger for Senator John M. Butler,
was fined 5000 for not revealing
total campaign expenses.

BUTLER himself, however, con-
tinues to sit in the Senate until
1857, so any benefits from the
crime of his manager are oonven-
iently retained.
The compulsion to win i'm
politics is mighty, and money
often makes the difference be-
tween victory and defeat. This
applies to issues as well as to
candidates. Professor Winston w.
Crouch, examining 40 years of the
initiative and referendum in Cali
fornia, has said that ''in most in
stances the old adage of politics
that the side which spends the
most wins has proven true"
From my grandstand seat as a
member of a state senate, l have
seen how easy it is for campaign
spending to get completely out of
control.
An election contest may, begin
modestly. with the rival candi-
