UNFIT
A.' B., Chandler, U. S.. Senator
from Bkntucloy for a number of
years, has given up his post as
senator "to become managing di
rector. of organized baseball in
America.
' We are not familiar enough
with-,, either Mr. Chandler or or
ganized baseball to know wheth
er this popular sport wins by thta
transaction; but -we ' are persuad
ed that the Senate has suffered
little loss.
Any man capable of serving
his state in the Senate, and who
seeks and 'accepts such honors
from his people, ought to consid
er that service of too much im
portance to relinquish it for high
position in the world of sports.
“No man, having put his hand
to the plough, and looking back,
is fit for the kingdom ...”

NO EASY OUT
iFortner War Mobilizer James
J. Byrnes suns up the debt and
taxation picture of the federal
government in a chilling light. In
hie final report be stated that
the federal defbt has reached $238
billion—approximately $2,000 for
every man, 'woman and child.
INo nation, even if it has lost a
war, has heretofore had saddled
Upon it a public debt as large as
the debt we am victors must pay.
Annual interest alone is now
$4;600,000,000. To appreciate
(What this means, recall that for
the fiscal year 1939, the total of
all internal revenue taxes was
$6,063,000,000 (not including so
cial security funds). To put it
another *<ayi total income tax
collected for the calendar year
1942 from all persons with in
comes of $5,000 or less, amount
ed to only $4,234,000,000—not
enough to pay the interest this
year on our federal debt.
This is one problem that the
people ean’t toss in the lap of
government. It is their problem.
They alone mue* pay.
‘‘ADMINISTRATIVE
ABSOLUTISM”
IDeaen Emeritus Roecoe Pound
of Harvard Law School, has ex
pressed deep concern over one of
the greatest internal dangers to
liberty that this country has ev
er faced. That danger is the in
sidious subjugation of the rule of
law in favor of government by
administrative decree, or, as he
describes it, “administrative ab
solutism”. This tendency must be
checked, he said, or we will find i
ourselves with a “regime of auto
cratic bureaus” so entrenched' as
to lead us in the direction of dic
tatorship and totalitarianism.
“Instead of our fundamental
doctrine that government is to

be carried oh according to l«w,
we are told that what government
does iis law,” be continued. “In*
stead of a law which think* - of
citizens and officials and equally
subject to law, we are told of a
public law! which subordinates
the citizen to the official and en
ables the latter to put the claims
of one citizen above those of an
other . . . according to his per
sonal Ideas for the time being.’'
The entire system of emergen
cy wartime powers now vested in
government is based on this “ad
ministrative absolutism”. That is
Iwhy it must be withdrawn at the
eaerliest possible moment and at
any cost. Government according
to law should become the motto
of every American.

are a pest, and windy nuisance,

the time of Columffaius and Balboa
down to howt More states should
fly their flag, he says. California
flies herfs—so does Texas. Also,
the city of New York shows its
colors, and sometimes, now and
then, Massachusetts, he says.
They have pride in their state or
city, like mayfbe you have pride
in your family name.
I been looking at pictures of
flags—all states have ’em—nice
ones too—buibt they have them
