YOU AND I ANI) T H E OTH ER FELLOW
T he governm ent does not owe every m an a living but it
does owe him an opportunity to m ake a living. T he govern
m ent is you and 1 and the o th e r fellow. If you and 1 play
th e gam e so as th e o th er fellow is ruled ou t w hen he is will
ing th en we are not alto g eth er fair with him.
This is th e problem th at governm ent and capitalism
m ust face or else w hen the o th er fellow is continually ruled
out he will tu rn to socialism in o rd e r to ch an g e the rules so
he m ay also tak e part in the gam e. G overnm ent is com plex
because we m ake it so and th e federal loans th a t have been
placed so far to help unem ploym ent have m ore th a n half
ru n into blind alleys of horders.
Money is loaned to the railroad o r o th e r large indus
tries on th e th eory operations will be increased and m ore
will be paid to labor. T he industries pay past bills with the
federal money to cred ito rs who do not need th e m oney and
are afraid to invest it hence it is horded. In effect the
governm ent has done nothing for unem ploym ent but has
m erely secured the claim s of th e creditors. T he law is only
half right. When the governm ent loans m oney to an in d u s
try to insure o peration and em ploym ent it should say to the
creditors you m ust agri** to w ait fo r your m oney until 'h e
industry ea rn s it out of fu tu re operations. T h e governm ent
is under no obligations to m ake creditors bills good but it is
under obligation to keep th e w heels of industry m oving th a t
all m ay have em ploym ent.

INITIATIVE RACKETEERING
S cores of paid initiative petition circ u lato rs are sc o u r
ing th e state, under the direction of a high salaried prom o
ter, securing sig n atu res to th e so-called higher education
consolidation bill. O ther prom oters and circ u lato rs who
have worked w ith the school consolidators on o th e r political
ra ck ets apply for jobs, as high pow ered pro p ag an d ists
ag ain st the school bill, to the com m ittee defending th e in
stitu tio n s of h ig her learning. It is like s ta rtin g a forest fire
so a s to get a governm ent job fighting the blaze.
This practice is not only tru e of the school bill but also
of th e bus and tru ck bill and o th er initiative m easu res being
proposed. The whole th in g is dem ocracy gone wild with
chislers on every side try in g to s ta rt a racket.
Paid circu lators of petitions should be prohibited by law
and the initiative resorted to only in m easu res w here volun
te e r sig n atu res can be gotten. No g reat harm could com e
from such a law', because a fte r all it m ust be rem em bered
we have a legislature elected by the people and paid to m ake
the law s th e m ajority of people w ant. L et's give them
so m ething to do.
SHORTENING CREDIT
T he federal tax on checks, to o u r m ind, will do m ore
h arm th an good tow ard balancing th e national budget. In
th e first place it will m ean a decrease in th e num ber of
checks w ritten. Already som e large banking houses a re
reporting th at they are cashing from o n e-fo u rth to one-
third less checks. T his m eans th a t tra n sa c tio n s are being
carried on with m oney w ith th e re su lta n t sh o rten in g of
credit. C ongress has been ap p ropriating m illions of dollars
for loans to broaden credit yet it p asses a law th a t sh o rten s
the service of a dollar m aterially. It is evident th a t w hen
business firm s deposit a g reat m any checks daily and then
draw s on them perhaps before the day is out th a t a hundred
dollars will do several hundred dollars business. W hen
th e m oney is passed a dollar does a dollars business and it
circulates very slowly, with th e re su lta n t cu rta ilm en t of
trade. We all know th a t from p ractical experience, yet
congress seem s not to have found it out.

An unpleasant ru m o r began to circu late about a certain

You h ea r a laic in New York: you clim b into an a ir

If the victim is fam ous and of enviable re p u ta tio n , the
broad castin g is tw ice as rapid. In th e in stan ce referred to
thiB was th e case. H ere are th e com m ents of the first th ree
men who h asten to tell me th e story:
N um ber One: “ It just show s that you never can tell.
W ho’d think th at old X would be up to such tric k s ? ”
N um ber Tw o: “ I was terribly shocked. W hat in th e
world could he have been thin k in g a b o u t? ”
Both th ese b ro ad casters, you see, assum ed at once th at

N um ber T hree «poke with honest indignation. " I’ve
known X for years. You c a n ’t m ake me believe th a t he ever
did an y th in g crooked. I don't care w hat the story is. I
sim ply will not believe it.”
T he full facts cam e out a few w eeks later and proved
X an innocent vi tint. But the dam age had been done.
T h ere was a wise p reacher in my boyhood who would
say to th e S unday school: “Never believe w hat you h ear

But it is not crooked.

Mr. X, of whom I have spoken, had lived an up rig h t life
for forty years. Surely, this should have counted in his
