' \ Fountain dnd the Short Ballot Some newspaper reporters are attempting to stab Lieutenant Governor Fountain, charging that he is criticising the legislature over which he presided. They fail to say that Fountain's greatest mistake was made n 1929 when he permitted a good friend of his (not now) to appoint the senatorial commit tees. These correspondents fail to tell us that the legislature of 1931 saved us millions —when Mr. Fountain again presided over the senate and refused to permit certain friends to name the personnel of senate committees. These correspondents are aJso inclined to criticise Mr. Fountain because he is against the short ballot. That is one of the best indorsements Mr. Fountain has when it comes to getting votes. It will get him thousands, because the people are not quite ready yet to let one man be elected governor and then allow him the privilege of filling all the offices with his own special friends. It might be that vje would have bet ter government to let one man and his own friends manage everything, but the fellows who are against Fountain because he is against such a policy ire not making votes for the fellows who are for such a policy. These special bureaus may horse-laugh Fountain, but the voters are going to stick to him tighter than leeches before they vote for anyhing or anybody that turns all the power of government into the hands of one lone man to run the. government and set all his stool pigeons up in office. The "Yellow Dog" Contract Hie "yellow dog contract" received a hard blow in Congress recently. The agreement, known as the "yellow dog contract" is a paper that big concerns force humble, hungry men to sign when they give them employment. The contract, in substance, is virtaully. the sign ing away of one's soul and body to an employer. It is certainly a contract that crushes the hopes" and destroys the liberty of the man who signs it. Now Congress sees the need of human liberty, and has passed a law which gives more consideration to the human and less privileges to the property of the country. In reality, the whole trend of government, includ ing all its branches, for the past several decades has been to help the money makers who have stood in the legislative halls, in the bar of the courts and in the executive mansions, there to demand special favors. It is, therefore, gratifying to see the heart of the law makers turning to the people and heeding their peti tions. The law-maketi ate at Jast doing the proper thing. It will be far better to dissolve the steel trust than it will be to stare all he plow boys and day laborers of the country. America is not hopeless when the people take into consideration the fifct that the ballot has two func tions: first, the election of their represenatives; and second, the power to drive their servants to honest stewardship. We are making good progress, if we will push forward. * The Peace Terms Well, the peace terms mean that Japan is to keep a big slice of China and that the right is reserved to kill her citizens and take some more territory when ever she gets ready. Nobody seems to know of anything in past his tory quite so audacious as the acts of been. Of course, Japan has maintained all the time that she did not want any of China's territory. If that is true, then her only excuse for her recent behavior must have been her desire to try out her guns. — • '%■ ' ■ * , Excess Profits Should Be Taxed Congressman Doughton has taken the lead in Con gress for excess profits and luxury taxes instead of a sales tax. Itnow appears that the sentiment is growing to ward taxing the excess profits and the useless luxur ies rather than taxing the poor and th enecessary things of life. Those institutions which started with only a few 4oQm a dozen yean ago and have piled Up fftfftf profits until they are now giants are the folks who Blaming Prohibition The charge that the prohibition law caused the stealing of the Lindbergh baby is perhaps one of the greatest falsehoods of the day. It is simply the foolish expression of people who do not think or of peopßTlrftd gH pty to vfl ." Nothing seems too base or black for some people to stoop to. Democracy Coming Back The New Hampshire presidential preference pri mary is a clean-cut indication that Democracy is com ing back to its own. ~ It was an expresson of the people that they are not confining themselves to the one small issue of wet or dry, but they are looking further into the problems of government. No party need expect to win"on one single issue, unless it is one that has great merit in it —such as the tariff question, which vitally affects all the people. The success of Governor Roosevelt over Governor Smith in New Hampshire ought to clarify things very much in the political field. Too Much Goverjnment^r Ropboro Courier. If our people could once get it in their heads that every six men in this country are carrying one man on their backs things would soon change. That is to say, out of every sfcven men, one is on the pay roll of some government machinery, either national, state, municipal, township,-or village, and the tax payer is keeping the seventh man up; and many of these men on the payroll are giving precious little serv ice for their upkeep. In speaking of this matter an exchange says: We saw some startling figures the other day. If they are correct and we have every reason to believe that they are, since they were compiled by the New York Sun, a responsible newspaper, then we have reaced the position in this country when one-tenth of all the people are on'ttlfc public pay roll. One hundred persons out of every thousand are tax-eaters! That includes national, state, county, municipal, township, and village employees. Add to those the number of pensioners and persons being supported by old "age relief funds, in poorhouses, prisons, and insane asylums, and it is easy to believe, as Senator Metcalf, of Rhode Island, asserts, that every six people in the United States are carrying a seventh on their backs. That is the penalty we are paying for our easy pol icy of letting "government" do everything. It is be cause of this enormous host of tax-eaters that the burden of taxation has become almost too heavy to bear. There must be public officials to enforce and administer the laws, of course. There is no escaping from a certain percentage of public employees. But the inescapable tendency of our willingness to let professional politicians run our public affairs is to increase the number of jobs at public expense. Poli ticians hold their power by "taking care" of their supporters. We think it is foolish to expect them to change their own methods voluntarily. But we also think that unless there is a speedy curtailment of the cost of government, State, national, and local, there is going to be a general uprising of indignant tax payers who will throw all the politicians, of all parties, out of their-jobs and compel them to go back to earn ing an honest living. Know Your Own Newspaper The following gem on the newspaper business was given before the Santa Ana (Calif.) Rotary Club by C. F. Skirvin, editor of the Santa Ana Bulletin: A newspaper is an institution organized for profit, and often a disappointment. It is the only business in the world that advertises its mistakes. In the old days all you had to have to start a news paper was $1,500 and an ambition. All you need now is $921,000, and a disposition. The newspaper is a comfort or a curse—depending entirely upon what you have been doing. An illus tration: A constituent, who had been referred to un complimentarily, rushed into the office and exclaimed, "Where is that son-of-a-gun of an editor? I want to kill him!" The accommodating office boy requested the plaintiff to have a chair, explaining that five other men were ahead of him. Newspapers contain good and bad news. It was the fellow in San Quentin who was to have his hanging date set who said: "No noose is good news." A society editor is a girl whose ability to use super latives often gets the job which belongs to some hard boiled old maid. The brightest man on the paper is the columnist. He never made but one mistake, and that was* when he started to write a column. ' A newspaper interviewer is a man who gets his story without conversing with the subject. I remem ber an atempt on the part of a reporter to interview Mrs. Skirvin relative to my journalistic discrepancies. Her reply was that she didn't want to talk about me— she had to live with me. Her flippancy was the germ for a half-column of domestic disturbance. Modern newspapers are being absorbed by the comics. I have read a few that were funny without them. The newspaper business is the easiest to operate— everybody knows how to run one. It is important to know one thing—what to leave out instead of put in. There is a serious side to the newspaper. You dis cover it immediately after you invest your money. But for real relentless grief, irritation, exasperation, soul-destroying perplexities—get yourself a newspa per and your destiny is determined. And all the wa ter* from all the Colorado rivers in the world won't be «ufficient to meet the exigencis of the situation. r THE ENTERPRISE^ ODD-BUT TRUE mi i i"l 1 j„ in' mil i , I,!" i urn i. i l mull i"i I ■ ' ' !
