'I think a lot of us can agree
on thla dlannonlx:
In BIO Lou Angeles and a lot
of our other BIO cities and aome
of our HICi stales, as well as In
our VASTLY TOO BIO rederai gov

llnw can wo nut a slop to that?
I think maybe there are two ways
by which It could be stopped:
m 1. By convincing the people that
II they don't do a better, more
honcM. more Intelligent lob of vot
ing they can lose their iioerues.
1. By bringing government back
closer to Uie people.
As lo the first, let's remember
this:
In the United States of America,
the peoplo are the source of gov
rmment. A RIVER CAN'T RISE
HIGHER THAN ITS 80URCE.
That Is to uy: If the people are
careless, or negligent, or TOLER
ANT OF CORRUPTION, the gov
ernment will become Inefficient
and corrupt.
As to tha second, I think most
thoughtful people will agree that
the farther government gets from
the people the more Inefficient and
corrupt It tends to become.
Our big cities have got TOO big.
Ihry are so vast and cumbersome
and complex that their people can
no longer take a genuine personal
Interest In their city government.
Most of them have become cor
rupt, as we of the small places
think of political corruption.
What we can do about that, T
don't know. We could pans a law.
of rourxc. providing that cities can
become only so lurge. But It would
nly
not do any good. It would be like
the curfew Jaws In most of our
i-IIIpr and towns. THey wertoaased
r Ti- ,1 1 11 111
Day's Jews
In the first place as a pious ges
ture, auO then they were forgotten.
Nobody pays any attention to them
any more. It would be the aame
way with law limiting the site
ol cities. .
Personally. I'm pretty sure that
laws that are kept on the books
BUT NOT ENFORCED tear down
public vesprct lor law and thus
tend to PROMOTE Inefficiency and
corruption.
The problem of the TOO BIO
cltv Is one that we Just haven't
even begun to solve yet.
If the people, who hold the vote,
and therefore are still the source
of all political power In America,
should become aroused and con
cerned and determined to do some
thing about It, we COULD check
the growth of TOO BIO federal
government.
We could clip the wings of soar
Inn federal power and by ao doing
we could send back a lot of our
governmental functions to the state
houses and the court housea and
the city halls, where It once re
sided but from which R took flight
as the welfare, state, baaed upon
, a "continuing gentle rain of gov
ernment checks." began to apread
Mn our minds the poisonous Idea
that If we only VOTE R OHT we
dan live without work by the boun
ty of the politicians. . t
.JInw could : we do that?
TnY GETTING THE RIGHT
KIND OP MEN INTO CONORE88.
If we get the right kind of men
into congress, there Is practically
nothing that we couldn t do. Con
gress, given reasonable time, could
bring government in th)s country
back to the state houses, the court
houses and the city halls.
