ARE WE GOVERNED TOO MUCH?
The other day a square-jawed old
farmer came in with a complaint. He
said: "I have lived a long time in
Kansas and, never before have I seen
so many inspectors running about
investigating so many different kind
of- things and butting into every
body's private business as are infest
ing the country now."
There is a reason in the old man's
complaint. One of the greatest curses
of the world is too much and too ex
pensive government. As has always
been the case the constant tendency
of those in control of government is
to multiply their authority and pow
ers.
Jefferson was right, if he said what
he was accredited with saying, "That
government is best which governs
least."
The primary and almost the sole
legitimate function of government is
to maintain order, to see that every
citizen, who behaves himself, is pro
tected in his rights of person and
property. That means that the weak
shall not be abused by the strongj
and, so far as is humanly possible,
the shrewd and unscrupulous shall
not despoil the simple-minded and
the ignorant. In short, the govern
ment is, or ought to be, a supreme
policeman acting with perfect im
partiality, strong and incorruptible.
Protected by this all pervading and
altogether just and impartial police
power, the citizen should have the
opportunity to work out his own
destiny. That kind of an ideal gov
ernment, so far as we can learn from
history, has never existed and per
haps never will, but certainly it is
an ideal to be wished for.
In the United States the average
producer is carrying on his back
one-eighth of an office holder who
is in some form or another directing
his movements. In other words, ab
stracting his salary from the pockets
of this human beast of burden on
whose back he is riding. Greenleaf,
