WHERE SOCIALISM MIGHT WORK
(Spring Valley (Minn.) Tribune)
The following was handed us some time ago and was
neglected, but it is credited to the philosophy of Dr.
Andy Hall of Mt. Vernon, Illinois, who at 85 sees the
trend and knows the remedy. He says: “There are only
two places where socialism might work. One is heaven
where socialism is not needed, and the other is hell
where they already have socialism.”
HOOVER PROPOSAL CONDUCIVE TO PEACE
(Somerset (Penna.) Daily American)
. .. The Hoover proposal is for peace. Mr. Hoover does
not envision an organization that, by force of arms, may
keep the peace. Arms are not conductive to peace. What
Mr. Hoover has in mind is a world bory of free peoples
bent upon making peace peacefully.
Before such a body, a militarily aggressive power
cannot stand.
Let us forget Mr. Roosevelt’s idea that cuddling up
to Russia will help the peace.
Let us adopt the Hoover idea of reorganizing the Uni
ted Nations to leave Russia and those who hold views
coincident with her to discover their errors and, per
haps, adopt the civilization which the western nations
seek to advance.
GREEDY GOVERNMENT
By George Peck
Our Federal Government consists of a grand total of
533 people electe by popular vote (435 Representatives,
96 Senators, 1 President and 1 Vice-President). Into
the hands of this small number of men and women, we,
the American people, place the power, among other
things, to tax us, to regulate us and keep us at peace or
at war.
The fault of all governments (and ours is no excep
tion) is that they ever seek to increase their powers.
Seizing upon emergencies as pretexts (sometimes justi
fiable, sometimes not), they add bureau after bureau,
and put more and more people on the public payroll.
The worst feature of this procedure is that when the
emergency (real or imaginary) has passed and there
definitely no longer is need to continue these bureaus,
governments do not close them up. All history reveals
that once'having seized any necessary powers, govern
ments cling tenaciously to them.
There is nothing strange about this—it is simply hu
man nature asserting itself. In the first place, politi
cians thrive on power, and in the second, those who
have been added to the public payroll holler to high
heaven if any attempt or threat of an attempt is made
to ake them off. This creates a vicious circle in which
politicians are afraid of losing votes by releasing kov
ernment employees, and those employed demanding
that they be retained as Millstones around the necks of
the taxpayers.
At one time here in America, power was obtained by
individuals and groups through the organization of
money. That is not true today. Money now is just as
much as out of fashion as the bustle, and power comes
through political position.
That government is best which rules the least, keeps
the number of employees on its payroll at a minimum,
and pares its expenses to the bone. It naturally follows
that such a government, except in times of war, does
not have to levy back-breaking taxes. We had that kind
of government here in America for a century and a half,
up to a few years ago. We do not have such a govern
ment now.

in the bridge structure.
Eric Nelson was found uncon

not as badly injured as originally
believed, although he will be in a
cast for some time.
There was little damage to the
