Firat and Willard St. NEW YORK KNOWS HIM Clinton W. Gilbert, the non-partisan political analyst, has been in New York and this is his estimate of the situaton there: “A visit to New York City reveals à degree of opposition to Gov. Frank- lin D. Roosevelt there and in tJS sub urban region around New York of which the only parallel is to be found in the opposition to Bryan in 1896. Ev ery penson I met told me the same thing, that he had Intended to vote the Democratic ticket this year but that now he could not There was a curious certainty in the minds of the persons I talked bo; it was as if no sensible person could think of intrust ing the Democratic candidate with au thority to administer the nation’s af fairs.” HAPPY DAYS WILL COME AGAIN Mayor R. E. Sherman of 'El Paso pictures past, present and future with heartening words that clear away socialistic fog and inspire faith of Americans in what they can do for themselves. We condense his quotation by Arizona Taxpayers Magazine: “The old order . . . has found no adequate substitute in the years of civilization . . . We, in America, who sowed waste are reaping want We who sawed folly are reaping need. We who sowed extravagance are gar nering a harvest of suffering. . . . We who put that theory and that principle into our economies and into the very fabric of our lives, now cry out in vain to the enchanted hours that have fled for the return of our substance, as in our hour of need we reap the harvest that we have sown. "Today the people of thia land must be and are engaged in a new hus bandry. They are sowing the germ of care and thrift where the tares of waste once grew. Habits ot saving, so long held up to scorn, are being taught once more. The practice of economy is coming back to ite right ful place of honor, and waste receives its just condemnation. In the minds of an advancing generation are being planted seeds of gold. And the har vest will enrich the nation. “From the cities of America a cry is going up against the tax burden. Almost without exception municipali ties are in financial dfficulties. Their revenues have declined. Tax delin quencies are the heaviest in history. In many instances the individual tax payer, caught in the depression, is utterly unable to pay. The demand is insistent for a reduction in govern«. mental costa. Taxpayers’ leagues and committees of citizens hastily formed, bombard public officials with request« fpr relief. “For the tax burden of the day ev erybody blames the public official. He is the ’guy* on whom the odium falls. That be did not set the standards ef public service in the beginning, or bring to pass the conditions that make them onerous in the days of general decline, is besides the ques tion. "In final analysis the public is it self t« blame for high taxes. They imposed them. They called for the bond issues and the increasing ser vice that brought high taxes about They were sold upon the theory of progress and advancement. Their pride expanded with competition with other cities of the same class. They believed in glorified communities through the co-operative efforts of a citizenship whose idealism rose with each succeeding year and whose pa triotism fed upon a fleeting and evan escent prosperity for all. "It is not surprising that when peo ple thought individually in terma of cars, stock investments, and travel, they bought collectively hi terma of roads, bridges, schools, parka and more perfect public serviee. Nor is it surprising that now, when they think as individuals in terms of losses, self-denial and self-sacrifice they ap ply these same principles to their pub lic requirements. They are angry be cause public officials, who were the instruments of their will, who carried out the demands of the electorate, can not remake in a few shorts months a system that developed, by mutual community consent, over a consider able period of years. "All that is attributable to waste, friction, lost motion and inefficient public management should rightfully oe stricken out at once. That it should never have been there in the first place is unanswerable. Its presence in governmental affairs is a part of the generaf laxity of the years of our unwholesome prosperity. "Government must now listen to the same voice that commands private attention. It must be purged by the same means and through the same cause that individual and corporate business affairs are now making their reckoning. Its footing must be ren dered sound. Its ground must be made tenable. It, too, must cut the corners. For its swivel-chair life is done. Some of ite cherished dreams must be abandoned. Action must be ite watchword, and efficiency ite stan dard. Commitments already made, bonds voted and sold, public indebted ness, contracts entered into, plans partially fulfilled and in process, ob ligations of service for which the faith of the municipality is pledged —these are the hang-overs of extra vagance that must now be borne with and absorbed. "In liquidation lies ite ultimate prosperity. No plan of borrowing to continue as usual can solve the prob lem of today. In a time when debt is engulfing individuals, municipali ties must take warnng. The city that Jetermines no* to bow to the condi tions of today, not to curtail in the slightest ite programs based upon prosperous times, not to reduce wages or lessen any of ite activities, is treading upon dangerous ground. "There is no difference between pri vate money and public money. They are the same sort of currency or coin, and the source of the one is the other. There can not be public prosperity when there is private and widespread depression. Cities, like individuals, must take on the character of the times. Care and economy will begin to replace much ill-advised, however idealistic, spending. Moro modest will be the pretensions and more practical the ambitions of our cities, yet none the less real and none the less valuable may be their contribu tion to a sanely constructive era. “The salutary effect of the drive against the tax burden by the citizen ship of our cities is not difficult to foresee. Resl interest in local gov ernment will replace apathy. The mêthods of ite operation will be an alyzed and studied. Leaders will be chosen more for their sincerity and devotion to public duty and less for the blandishments with which they regale the voters. The citizenship will have learned to make a better choice of values in ite demands for public service. The public will be gin to count the cost and weigh the advantages when bond issues are pre sented. A saner conduct of public affairs will be the natural product of a wiaer people.' who had Spent m -.st of the summer hero with her mother, Mrs. O.
