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.
