COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(By Spectator)
In some counties candidates are
answering questionnaires which carry
Implications far beyond the yes and
110 of the moment. Members of iho
Legislature would do well to keep
lu mind the probable income of the
State and then deduct from that the
accumulation deficit. The difference is
all that can legally be appropriated,
unless more taxes are voted.
I doubt if there is a candidate anywhere
in the State who will deliberately
declare for more taxes. If there is
It can safely be predicted that he
will have a quiet winter at home, instead
of a hectic one in the legislature.
If a father with a salary of a
tiundred dollars a month should agree
to buy everything that three sons
and three daughters might ask for how
could he finance the family? First,
tie buys food, pays rent?and then
spreads the remainder, perhaps?thinly
among the others. Of course it
would require great resolution and
sticking power to curb the spenders,
but sinpe father's credit carl't stand
unlimited strains there will be a limit.
Our Legislature should not listen to j
all the spending agencies, as each unfolds
the supremely unavoidable plan
to save the State. I^et it, first, take
care of the debts; then the services
in order of importance, and in prudent
scope even then; the remainder
could be distributed among some of
the others.
We could do without a lot of things 1
ourselves, things wich like barnacles,
have fastened upon us, but which contribute
very little to real happiness or
comfort. Many of our people are miserable
all the time because they are
so anxious to be happy that they
crowd themselves, afflict themselves
with obligations which bring embrassnients
and mortifications rather than
happiness. No man can be happy if
dodging creditors all the time. His
fine clothes \nd his handsome car
mock him. A state can be as foolish
as individuals, even more foolish, because
a state may issue notes and
bonds without considerable swank until
the investing public walk out on It.
There should be no deficit during
this current fiscal year. As I've said
once or twice, the law authorizes the
State Budget Commission to reduce
all appropriations so as to bring the
budget into balance. If the Court allows
the diversion of Highway funds
that will be two million dollars; butt
If the Court declares the diversion unconstitutional,
the Budget Commission
has the power to act at once to pre- i
vent a new deficit.
There is no unified control of our <
State's finances. The Budget Commission
prepares a total which is with- i
In the expected total revenue; the
Ways and Means Committee of the i
House does about the same, and then j
the House itself adds to the total, as
favorite public work finds persistent i
champions on th^ floor. The Senate ,
Finance Committee goes all over it (
igain and then the Senate adds to :he
total from the floor. When the ,
3ill reaches the Free Conference Com* ,
nlttee it may be reborn in another ]
orm. At no stage of the legislative ,
proceeding has there been an inves- (
:lgation Into tho real work of the i
jervice. A few questions may bo ask- j
)d? and that is all. What wo need is 1
ibout the same checking and over- .
milling that a big chain business j
fives its locdl branches about once .
t month. The present arrangement <
ncourages each service to ask for
jverything imaginable, knowing if it
>e reduced thirty per cent it will still
je yvell favored. On tho other hand,
he Legislative Committees feel that
.hey have made substantial reductions
X they reduce them ten or fifteen per
:enL Tho whole thing is more a Jocky- >
ng over totals than a careful survey
>f need.
One of our Institutions which started
out dedicated to plain living and
high thinking has become so magnificently
housed that the plain living
has obviously gone by the board,
and one fears that the high thinking
is in Jeopardy.
When a budget is submitted for one
of our institutions it sounds like the
conclusion one reaches on hearing
about our army. We spend millions
and millions every year, but there are
always inadequacies.
Would it be possiwe to build a Btate
on a firm foundation of service, or
must we Just play at this? One group
is always trying to add a million for
the common schools; another rushes
in for some college, whereupon all
the colleges form a Macedonian phalanx
and batter down the opposition;
another group would sink the state In
debt, giving away money. They cry
all over the Legislature until their
t^ars drown the tried and true exponents
of real Jeffersonian Democracy.
?
Why can't, we have a definite policy
on common schools and other agencies?
Are we trying to teach all the
children? Yes, that is our policy. But
before we can get schools for the
children, or get the children In school,
a great crusade starts to increase the
pay of the teachers and carry every
child to schoo lin a bus. We run along
Ln a confused manner most of, the
time.
We have a country which is a
monument to the operation of our free
institutions. 1 need not enumerate the
vast wealth in our ground?minerals,
metals, oil, sulphur and the host of
other things; nor need we now talk
of the agricultural possibilities, the
wondrous scenery and stimulating
climate. Whatever the heart of man
can conceive can be found within our
nation. Nor need I dwell on our great*
ost resource: the unfettered spirit of
a vigorous people, the will to do
and the inspiration of great achievement
Some of the things we use will
bespeak the special favor, which we
Americans enjoy. There are more telephones
in New York City than In all
Asia with its billion inhabitants. How
do wo compare with the German nation
which Hitler thinks fit to govern
the .world? In 1937 we had an
income?^we a free people?of $69,411T,d0(M>00;
compared with Germany's
$28,534,000,000. We a people working
under the impulse and Inspiration of
free enterprise, and ln spite of some
handicaps, produced more ihan twice
as much as a nation which is under
the iron hand of specialists and tech?
a ^ - -
nicians of the greatest efficiency. We,
with a lot of lost motion, in our hitor-miss
style, have produced under
our voluntary plan of individual iniciatiye
vastly more than a nation directed
solely in the interest of efficiency
by its government. Taking the
the figures for a per capita study we !
find the income $537 in our. country,
as compared with $421 in Germany.
Unfortunately wo almost equalled j
Germany in our per capita taxes, ours;
being $108 against $110 for the Ger-J
mans. We paid 23.2 per cent of ourj
income in taxes and Germany collected
26.2-per cent from her people.
We pay heavily in taxes and in
bonded debt, it is true, far too heav-|
ily, I think, but we do get something!
for our money. We test the standard
of living by certain things enjoyed.1
Of course a nation's spiritual life and.
its true standard are not infallibly
reflected by creature comforts, but
they are indicative "of leisure and
leisure is supposed to promote culture.
We used nearly twice as much electricity
per person as the Germans;
we consumed nearly twice as much
wheat, five times as much wool, ten
times as much copper. We had ten
times as many books in public libraries,
fifteen times as many students
in college. Surely the great advantage
we have in the number of students
must tell of the German youth
being in the army. We have three
times as many movie theatres, and
we have a physician for every 765
persons, compared with one for 1180
in the German Reich.
Our American home is becoming as
efficient as the American office and
factory. Our homes abound in equipment
to save time and labor and to
contribute in many ways'to the enjoyment
of life. Everywhere we see re^
frlgeratorB, vacuum cleaners, washing
machines, electric toasters, electric
irons and the like; but they are almost
unknown in Germany.
The great Manchester, England, Jn-'
jduatyial area?one of the world's most
j densely populated ? Is functioning
I normally despite three weeks of spo!
radio bombing by German night raiders.
On an unimpeded tour of the
area. American newspapermen were
unable to find a single factory that
had been hit. All were working full
blast.
