He draws some inter esting comparisons. For instance, he points out that one government official charged with spending billions of dollars re ceives only $10,000 a year salary, while the head of a certain great In dustrial plant receives $200,000. But Mr. Creel failed to state whe ther the $10,000 a year man made any sacrifice In coming to the gov ernment, or whether $10,000 was not a rather attractive salary to him. Mr. Creel also failed to point out that If the head of the industrial plant operated his company with the reckless extravagance of the govern ment official cited, then the com pany would soon be in bankruptcy, and certainly the president would t» tossed out on his ear in short order The Industrial magnate could not charge tt to the taxpayer. And lastly, Mr Creel failed to state that the industrial chieftain worked from the bottom of the lad der to his present post, and that If the young government official has “ enough on the hall" there Is no li mit on his opportunities under the American system. The Industrial leader did not rise to his highly paid post by political preferment. Low salaries in government ser vice are not new. In fact, there are more Jobs In Washington now pav ing above $7.600 a year than ever before. Honor, power— coupled with the Inherent love of most people of seeing their name and picture in the paper have always attracted men of high caliber to government ser vice in the past without so muth thought of material reward the corporation Itself. Any law which Imposes the same limitations upon coiporate thrift for all corpor ations is bound to work great Injus tices and to wreck many enterprises. And any attempt to dlffereniate among them by administrative regu lation will lead to hopeless compli cation. “ To force Industry to pay out all of Its «mruings in dividends In good years will, of course, have the effect of accentuating booms. And in years of depression, industry will find it self without means of paying for current operations— in plainer words, without money to meet the payroll. Had American Industry en tered this depression stripped of all surpluses, scores of the biggest cor porations could not have survived. Thus speaks Raymond Moley in his magazine “ Today.” There are a couple of things he did not, but could, point out. For instance, eight months ago Congress was asked to approve a graduated tax on corpora It is the duty of every American tion Income because it was “ equit able.” Now Congress Is asked to re citizen to not only register, but to peal the same tax because of its "in also, cast his ballot at every election. equalities" and replace it with a new Failure to do so places a citizen in one on undistrihutd corporate earn a position, where he is not qualified to criticise officials holding office. ings.

ME A GOOD CITIZEN. \' w s t Í t v t / on . AKTHUft EDWARD POWELL Editor and Proprietor OPPRESSION Olt LIBERTY? One of the outstanding Congres sional students of government, Sen ator Henry F. Ashurat, Arizona Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says the Jury trial and protection against search and seizure are “ the very es sence of constitutional liberty and security.” In expressing that philosophy to the Senate recently, Ashurat said: “ In all our jurisprudence there is no other principle that has been more definitely put into position or more Joyously accepted by Ameri cans than the principle of the Fourth aud Fifth amendments. “ The makers of our Federal Con stitution and the framers of the first ten amendments were never tired of quoting the immortal words of the elder rttt used in his speech on the excise: “ ‘The poorest man may In his cot tage bid defiance to all the force of the crown. It may he frail; Its roof may shake; the wind may blow through U; the storms may enter— but the King of England cannot en ter— all his force dare not cross the threshold ot the ruined tenement.' “ The plan purpose aud obj«»ct of the Fourth and Fifth amendments is that they preserve the liberty of the citizen against assaults of op portunism, and the expediencies to which meu resort in an hour of im patience.” Pitt spoke of the man in a ram shackle home. The description ap plies equally as well to the white collar worker who lives in a modern American apartment. Surely his fel low Amerlcuus are uot willing to sa crifice his aud their rights to “ as sault of opportunism” and "impati ence.” If they do, the middle ages will be back again, with their gov ernmental snooping into the affairs of every man and the consequent op pression of a dictatorship.
