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.'
