WHAT IS A PROGRESSIVE?
* '
A few days ago we receeived a letter ficm a so-called
progressive club asking for opinion on some question^.
Another letter from what is normally thought to be a
conservative organization made similar inquiry as to our
opinions which brings to mind again the problem that has
been discussed to some extent for the past two or three
years: What is a progressive, a liberal, a conservative, a
re-actionary?
Simply, a progressive is one w ho progresses or believes
jn principles that lead toward progress and it is a satisfying
conclusion until some one raises the question, what is a
progressive? Then a progressive teccnr.es ere who is
bound in the same direction as fhe speaker. If one made
progress along the route ot return to older forms of belief
he would be a progressive re actionary.
. •
Then their are the terms liberal and conservatve. The
former term when applied to money means generous,
naturally, and from that meaning a liberal government
would be one that was a free spender, presumably of tax­
payer money. When applhd to thought liberal is used to
designate one willing to listen to all sides and grant to O|>-
ponents the privelege of dissent without doubting their
motives. A conservative is one w ho is doubtful of change,
who believes things should be kept as Ihey are unless good
reason can be shown for amending the present order.
From these four words many different political theories
may be given fairly accurate desci iption and with the ad­
dition of the term, radical, almost every idea may be given
a complete name
The four words ccmmonly used to designate opinion on
any political subject are, in the order of greatest desue for
change, radical, progressive, conservative and reactionary.
Liberal is truly a modifying word used to show that or e is
not set in his or her ways bey ond conviction by opponents
if the weight of argument is impressive. Liberal is the
term applied to those who retain an open mind. One
might be a liberal radical or a liberal reactionary
Many political ideas have worked through the entire list
of terms In the fiirst forty years of our history radical was
the term applied to those
o believed in universal suffer-
agc and the ascendency of the common pecple; the aristc-
crats were in conLrol. Jackson was svept into power by
the western agrarian* with greater decentralization of au­
thority as one of his theories. Now one is called a reac­
tionary who opposes centralization of authority in the exe
cutive branch of the government. The terms are not
stable and one who is truly radical in youth may be a reac­
tionary in age without changing his ideas one iota.
A true democracy is a form of government where each
citizen has a voice in the management of public affairs.
That is, of course, impossible in a country as large ano as
populous as ours so power is delegated to chosen represent­
atives of the people. It seems that any idea that would in­
vest power in the people as fast as they.were able to handle
it would be truly progressing touaid demccrutic govern­
ment. For democratic government must te ti e pecple’s;
government.
All the terms applied to forms of political ihought are
meaningless to a degree when considered over a long
period of years. The criterion by which ideas and issues
should be judged is whether or not they give to the people
the power they may expect under a ccmccratiC’foiSB GÎ
government. If we hope to retain il.e democracy ve have
worked for we must be jealous of our rights as individual
members of the state and our rights to influence all branch­
es of our government Ideas that restrict the power of the
people are not democratic and should be judged accordingly
whether branded radical or reactionaiy or seme of the
intermediate terms.
The Oregonian announces increased liquor sales on
the front page and prints a picture partly turned around
on page three. Just as a matter if proof, presumably.
They should save ihat coach Jones down in Louisiana.
Apparently he is the only man in the state.
It’s bad enough for Portland police to have to watch
the remainder of the population without having to keep an
eye on other policemen, special or regular.
