THE KINGFISH HOOKED
President Roosevelt has let it be known that he is close
ly following political events in Luoisiana. It was thought
at one time that he might invoke against Senator Long the
clause of the Constitution requiring the Federal Govern
ment to maintain a republican form of government in every
state. But a more sure form of attack has now been devised.
Just as suits for unpaid income taxes have been used to send
to jail murderers who could not be convicted, so the debt
moratorium in Louisiana may be employed to open the eyes
of the citizens of that state to the dangers involved in setting
up a dictator. The point at issue is simple. Loans have
been made to Louisiana by the Federal PWA. and more are
asked for by that state. But the President, in effect, points
to the Louisiana statute authorizing non-payment of all debts
tor a period of two years, and asks the Governor, who is
merely a complacent tool for Mr. Long, what is to be done
about the interest payments and amortization charges al
ready due on loans by the PWA, and also wants to know
what security the state can give for like payments on the
fresh loans which it is seeking.
Senator Long promises to reply to the President from
the floor of the senate as soon as he can get it. He will need
to be very precise about his facts. After all his flights of of
fensive oratory he will have to answer a plain question.
Will Louisiana honor her debts to the Federal Government?
If no explicit promise is made to do so she will certainly get
no further PWA loans, but if she yields the point in contro
versy and agrees to pay what will be left of the great prin
ciple” which Senator Long has gloried in for extinguishing
all debts, public and private, for a period of two years?
The states, under our American system, have often been
described as useful laboratories of legislation. Experiments
can be tried out in a local sphere, which the general govern
ment would not think it wise to undertake. But sometimes
they turn out to be painful for the experimenters. Just now
for example, it looks as if the Kingfish, swimming gayly in
the waters of dictated legislation, had suddenly found a hook
in his mouth.—New York Times

BASES AT NOME AND CANDLE
government to vote should soft-pedal some of their opinions.
A business that has faith in itself advertises and wins
the faith of the public.
Taxation is the process of taking a dollar from somebody
to whom it belongs rightfully and using it for the benefit of
the people collectively—it matters not in the taking if it is
somebody’s last dollar. “Sold for taxes” is a common phrase.
Honesty merely because it is the best policy is a species
of dishonesty.
Advertising is profitable for a community or state as
well as for an individual or private corporation.
Square pegs will not fit in round holes, it is true, but
square pegs can be made round and find themselves fitted
very nicely—often in a shorter time than they could have
found a square hole—and a more comfortable and lasting fit.
A wise man in India says that intelligence is inherited
and knowledge is acquired. We wonder!
Advertising is the lubricant which takes the squeak out
of the wheels of business._
