DO WE WANT DEMOCRACY?
"If we want democracy we can
not dispose of our responsibilities
by marching to the polls once In a
while and giving Up service to the
Bill of Rights," writes Carl Dreh
er in Harper's. "If we want de
mocracy we have to work at it.
We have to accept the idea of pol
itics as ev?Ky citizen's primary
and unremitting concern, as our
business in a very concreate and
personal sense."
We have left politics to the pol
iticians ? and what a mess has re
sulted! We have regarded gov
ernment as something in which
we have no direct interest, and the
consequence has been a steady ex
tension of bureaucratic power at
the expense of us all. We've work
ed on t'he principl of-"Let George
do it" ? and George has done us
in, good and plenty!
Not until we all realize that
government is our business, will
we have the fair, efficient and ec
onomical government that Is es
sential to democracy.
Leading citizens should be com
pelled to take every seventh year
off for the good of the community.
