IMQ • TWO SIDES TO EVERY QUESTION By LYTLE HULL -- I DEMOCRACY ALWAYS HAS LED v ;x .vx 4WJ ’ti WORK The wise ones who believe democ racy won't work, would profit b'y a study of history—-as far back as it goes—and by a careful analysis of theit newspapers. History would teach them that democracy has been working—with time out for rest oc casionally—for a couple or thousand years on so, and has been gaining headway rapidly in the last couple of hundred years. A careful analysis of their newspapers—with a few dis mal exceptions — will inform them that this big, loose jointed giant over here, which we call democracy, Is beginning to coordinate his muscles for an effort which a free man sys tem can “put over" more successful ly than can any other .system. It i.sn’t the form of government which causes decay in a nation; it is the spirit of the people.

But the poor man’s .'on must work. He is lean and strong, and when opportunity knocks he grasps it. He is the man you find at tively, A nation of people becomes soft and fat, or lean and hungry. His tory shows that it doesn’t make much difference what sort of government these nations have. The strong and hungry nation tries to grab what the soft and fat one has, and is very, apt taxpayers like that too). Ten percent additional on income taxes. (And the taxpayers ask for more). Later heads inform the country that there will be no bottlenecks in their department. The farm sentiment must of neces sity come in more slowly, but every one knows ^vhat that will be. It has been the same since Bunker Hill). Congress gives up all idea of ad journing, even during a convention summer. Congress rushes all defense measures.
