Deckebsch' Wednes day noon before the Salem Rotary . club, at the weekly dinner at the Marion Jn it the speaker empha sized the lact that under an ex aggerated, fantastic Idea of Indi vidual rights, the country ..has been letting go ot every fixed ha fr it, agreeing that almost every thing is right that anybody pro fesses to believe, and giving no attention - to a "coherent plan -for orderly progress. : With the growth of. the primary- system - has corns the loss of all Organised responsibility, and "what is ev ery body's business Is nobody's business" in politics and govern ; ment. . .'. . Neglect Costs. Pearly,. 'We save lost Interest, in pub- lie affairs." said the speaker; "Ig noring .the things that most- di rectly affect Social happiness land creature comfort, in . failing: . to keep track of the economic and. political conditions around " . ns. We pay too dearly for this neg lect. We must restore a healthy .Interest in government; wherein; It is the duty of every man to . know the. principles ot good gov ernment, .and-to take an active part in keeping up the standard.' The people get the kind of, laws they want or stand for or deserve.' Certainly the man who selfishly or finally . falls to demand good service deserves all ,the ,.. crimea that inefficiency or even criminal lty can heap upon him." f 'The remedy to the - present chaotic condition of our govern ment, is a return to some form of party, system," said the speaker. He held that the present fierce agitation 'Of the agricultural in terests of labor, of tax reforms,; of, many other classifications, to let bold of the government Is the natural demand of human Uy xor some form of organization a against an orgy of irresponslbli- ty. A national sense of respon sibility, that makes every man a working part of the government nstead of a long-time loafer ana then a pop-eyed destroyer , of the eriis be has suffered to grow np around him. Is needed to cure the arr. self-righteous, selfishly ig norant average voter of today, he averred. : Jdeals Are Traced Mr. Deckebach traced the rep resentative form of government established with ..such prophetic vision by the founders ot the gov ernment, on through its various units, up to the national party that has a direct, living respon sibility to a known, reacnaoie body ot people. He made a splen did case for the need ot organ ized political ; action, to com Da: the chaos that has let slackerlsm and prof lteerlng and Indolence run riot with the people s money and the people's rights. Thomas B. Kay spoke brieoy on the income-tax theory of raising public funds. He said that the state tax commission is to nave a hearing in Salem soon, and' urg ed . that . every one interest should go and bear the argu ments; also, that they present any Salts Fifcd John M.
