A I Smith Turns G.O.P.
A POTjITICAI revolution hii occurred. Two nw nttiongl
parties have been born.
If any more evidence were needed, Al Smith aupplied the
same, Saturday night.
Here you have one of the leading Democrat! in the country,
former candidate for President, former Governor, outdoing
the Republicans in taking the hide off the first member of
his OWN party to occupy the White House since the world
war. Extraordinary, ISN'T it!
Certainly no Republican leader, Ogden Mills, Ham Fish,
T. R. jr., or even former President Hoover himselfcould have
attacked the New Deal and President Roosevelt with more vim,
vigor and venom, than did the honor guest of the Liberty
League who only a few years ago, took off his coat and brown
derby, t put Franklin D. Roosevelt in the state house at
Albany.
IJOW comet
Is it just a matter of a
other words is it PERSONAL t
Al wanted to be nominated
the White House, but Franklin
ment and bitterness of heart, is leading Wall Street and the
Liberty League plutocrats, against his former politics? pal and
room mate! Is that ALL there is to this!
'"THAT has something to do
Democrat or Republican,
opinion it was not, in any sense the fundamental reason. Al
had a grudge and still lias one, but he would never have
agreed to fire off the first gun, against the leader of his own
party if his grievance against the present administration and
the New Deal had been purely personal.,
No, Al has his faults, but he isn't as small bore and
piacayune aa that.
""piIE truth is Al and Franklin separated a long time ago pol-
itically, but the former didn't know it. Al deserted 14th
Street and Fulton Market, not only literally but figuratively.
He went Broadway and Park Lane in a big way. He even be
came a little squeemiah about Tammany Hall, and found
greater pleasure in hobnobing with the boys at the City club
or in the twilight splendor of the Knickerbocker bar. In short
the man became, what a great many Progressive young men
become, when they grow older and more affluent, just another
CONSERVATIVE.
THAT'S the REAL answer. Politically speaking, Al Smith
now talks the language of Republicans like Ogden Mills
and Hamilton Fish, not the language of Democrats like Sen.
ator Wagner of New Tork, or Senator Robinson of Arkansas.
He not only thinks their thoughts but he feels their feelings.
lie niay not be a member of the
as the essentials are concerned,
And aa a Conservative, NATURALLY, he doesn't like see
ing an out-and-out anti-Conservative like Franklin D. Roose
velt in tha White House, and has no patience with or under
standing of, a program like the New Deal, which charts an
entirely new road, economically and socially, and if carried
0 lit leaves the congenital Conservative, high and dry on a rock,
incredulous and gasping. 1
IN OTHER words, President Roosevelt has changed the old
Democratic party Into a new Liberal party, and conserva
tive Democrata like Al Smith don't like it and can't forgive
him for it. John W. Davis, Raskob and Shouse, don't like it
either any more than conservative Republicans like Mr. Her
bert Hoover, Governor Landnn of Kansas or Senator Vanden
berg of Michigan.
And who can blame them! They are merely being true to
themselves and the new Conservative party which has been
formed, and though they may not know it, to which they
belong.
w
110 could blame Al Smith,
for lnmhaatinff F. D. R.
platform, on hia alphabetical soup experimentation, on his re
quest for incressed centralisation of power, when the economic
crisis was at its height!
This is the inevitable orthodox conservative viewpoint.
When President Roosevelt at the most serioua crisis in the
history of this country since the Civil war, took office, he
should not, from the conservative viewpoint, have looked FOR
WARD, he should have looUi'd BACKWARD. He should not
have said, new conditions denisnd new remedies, he should
have looked back at his plKtform written 10 months before
and aid, "Now let'a see, what did our platform SAY we do.
Oh yes, we should do thus and so. Nothing to worry about,
just follow out that platform boys, it wns written by Al Smith
and how could there be a better one, and everything will be
hunky dory.
"Save the banks! Where is there anything in our platform
about saving the bimka. Save the farmers! Well, yes th plat
form snys something about protecting th farmer and preserv
ing agriculture, but that has been in our party platform for
fifty years. We should do someihing about it of course, but
there i no hurry. They want higher prii-es! Well, isn't there
the lnw of supply and (Icninnd! How do they expei't to get
them, except through that." lite, ete.
TllAT is the conservative way of doing things, the eonserva-
tive way of looking at them.
There is an innate horror in conservative circles, of change
particularly radical change. There is distrust of experimen
tation of any sort and of course, as At so carefully pointed
out, there is a suspicion of and prejudice against BRAIN'S.
Business in this country hss never feared change but has
prospered on it. Neither business nor science hss ever frowned
on experimentation, in fact experimentation has been the
souive of the grestest sdvanees in both.
As for brains, those Big Business men search for it. nicht
and day, to use in their own affairs, but when it comes merely
to the affairs of the government to nothing hut politics,
who ever heard of using BRAIN'S in politics! That's something
for the politicians to attend to, not trained men. Business
and eieiiee can change, can experiment, can search for the best
brains the country provides, hut vthen it enmee. to government
the ouly thing to do is stop, look and listen, look up precedent,

Bonus developments were an old
story to those at the business ma
chine. Stock marketeers months ago
had figured out which Industries
would get the money, and how much.
Generally, business aeema to look
on the good side of the bonus.
Even some conservative authorities
seem to think It la ft good thing
to pay It and get It .out of the
way.
A business man from New York
asked Mr. Roosevelt some time Rgo
what he thought about a manufac
turers' sales tax.
The president replied by asking
how much the business man paid
for his shoes. He then observed that
the business man's chauffeur prob
ably paid the same amount, adding:
"And under manufacturers' sales
tax you would both pay tba same
tax."
While that occurred some months
ago. there are reason to believe the
president haa not yet altered his
uncompromising opposition, desplta
current rumors to tha contrary,
New York la alwaya tha nation's

turned out In tha few days before
Al Smith spoke aet an all-time new
hatchery record.
What happened was that New
York believed the new dealer would
do something Important to offset
Smith. Their Inflationary Imagina

New Yorkers do net mind being
wrong. All they want is to be new
and original.
The latest academic spilt between
Labor Leaders Qreen and Lewis atlll

The personal angle of It Is that.
If Mr. Lewis aver succeeds with hie
Industrial union program. Mr. Oreen
and his A. 7. of L. associates will
be out of Jobs. Tha A. P. of L.
would have to be completely decen
tralized and reorganised.
Tha political phase Is that Lewis
stands well with the new dealers.
(He stood well enough to get the
Guffey coal bill.) Many of Mr.
Green's A. P. of L. associates have
republican leanings.
Those on the top rim of the
Inner labor circle are confident that
the Lewis Industrial union system
is sure to come In tha long run of
future years. Mesnwhlle, the A. P.

Mr. Lewis msny annoying hours.

There's really no comparison. The
cars of today are so much better look

For lea than a thousand dollars
today you can buy a better car than
you could hav bought ten years ago
for twenty-five hundred. And for
around $1600 now you can buy a car
that a tycoon couldn't have had a
decade ago.
While they have been learning how
to make automobiles better, they've
been learning at the same time how
to ' make them CHEAPER so that
more of us can afford to own them.
AFTER all, that's the real measure
of progress.
What good does It do to create fas
cinating and useful and beautlfjl
things If the COST of these things Is
to be kept ao high that only the big
shots can afford them?
Civilisation Isn't really civilization
unless Its comforts, Its conveniences
and Its luxuries can be brought with
in tha reach of the great masses of
the people. In anient Crete, 40 or SO
centuries ago, they had an amazing
civilisation, with an astonishing num
ber of the conveniences of living that
we think of aa wholly new to our
time, but the raflnementa of tha Cre
tan civilisation were RESERVED for
an lnflnlteslmalty small number of
very rich people.
The glory of our modern American
civilization la that It haa been spread
out to Include nearly all of us, big
and little alike.
IN your great-grandfather's time, and
all down through the world BE
FORE that time, only the rich and
the powerful could afford their car
riages Indeed. In all those long cen
turies, ownership of a carriage was
tha accepted symbol of wealth ana
power.
In modern America, thanks to the
great and progressive and courageous
automobile Industry, nearly everybody
ean afford his carriage and even the
poorest and moat battered of these
present-day carriages la better than
a KING could have afforded even one
century ago.
That la progress.
SHORT-SIGHTED people profess to

ha made this an Incomparably bet
ter world to live In.
LOOKING at these new cars makes
us want to OWN ONE.
Well, what harm In that? About all
the progress that has been made In
this world has come about because
somebody has wanted something bet
ter then he had and has been willing
to WORK hard to get It.
So go and look at the new cars
without misgivings. If they so Inspire
you with the desire of ownership that

buy, you will be all the better off. I

Communications
student Fees Are Favored
To the Editor:
There Is common ground among
those who favor and those who oppose
the compulsory student fea bill. All
believe that the student life at our
Institutions of higher learning should
be democratic; all oppose tha creation
or maintenance of specially privileged
classes among the students.
Payment of the student fee entitles
a student to the college newsrftper
and to a season ticket which admits
to campus activities such as athletie
contests, concerts, d abate and lec
tures. From the student fee comes
money which permits the carrying on
of many of the less popular athletic
sports and cultural activities.
It has been suggested that season
tickets enabling all students to par
ticipate In student activities to tha
extent they find it helpful and en
joyable should be given free to each
student. This Is a fine Idea to con
template. But the suggestion Is Im
practicable at this time when taxes
are already so high that 84 per cent
are delinquent.
Optional student fees which neces
sarily must be higher, because of tha
fewer number that will pay them,
well-to-do homes, but deny equal
well-to-do homes, bat deny equay
opportunity to participate in student
life to hundreds of deserving young
men and women and thus stimulate
and perpetuate elasa distinction based
on money.
If the student fee bill is passed, the
presidents of the associated student
bodies at tha university and atate
college predicted in a recent publle
meeting that in cooperation with the
board of higher education a plan can
be put Into effect whereby the most
needy of the student can secure
their student activity tickets tn ex
change for services Instead of In ex
change for money.
In all events,, the board of higher
education should be asked and ex
pected to eliminate any extravagance
that may be found In tha expendi
tures of the student bodies of tha dif
ferent schools snd to reduoa the at
tention of the board upon the Im
portance of thla.
The citizens of the state should In
sist that the board of higher educa
tion keep the gat open at our in
stitutions of higher learning for all
qualified students to enter and par
ticipate upon an equal footing In the
educational opportunities offered,
and at the lowest expense reasonably
possible. Furthermore, It must be re
membered that educational opportun
ities are found not only in the class
room and laboratory, but outside. In
the mingling of studenta and faculty
in a democratic college life.
It would seem decidedly unwise to
hamstring the board by falling to
pass the student fee bill.
