COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS The Government, the Govern- jnent—too much government. I think our congress tries to do something sometimes, by whittl ing away, bit by bit, but it is like cutting down a giant pine tree by picking at it with a small pocket Imife. The tree grows more and more, hiding the little cut far more easily than a great tree al most hides the surveyor’s blazze of 75 years ago. I think a Constitutional Con vention might be the only hope for a restoration of the Government to the firm foundations of our fa thers. Today we have the President | exercising authority not in har mony with the Constitution. I re-' Jer not with special emphasis on 3Ir. Kennedy for most of this be- ,gan with Mr. Roosevelt, and was j jfostered by Mr. Truman and Mr. j JHsenhower. What lawful concern has the President with wages in private enterprises ? The papers almost daily tell us of the new edicts affecting private! Ymsiness. What right has the Congress to legislate about such matters? What lawful right has the Con- fjress to give away eighty billions of dollars to foreign countries, as has been done in about twenty years ? What right has the President to have “understandings” with for eign powers, instead of treaties sanctioned by the Senate? All this integration matter — wherein does the National Govern ment find authority for meddling with schools and the textile mills interests ? Every now and then the Con gress debates some proposed measure which is not validly with in the purview or jurisdiction of Congress. The executive department . has! a score of Commissions—Trade Commissions, Communications Commission, Power Commission, and so forth, ad infinitum. And these Commissions have grown or swollen until they hold a sword over every business in the land. We are becoming ridden by bu reaucrats, sometimes small - -fry trying to look big and strutting about like arrogant game cocks in the barn lot. iecently I took occasion to sug gest that warrants be sworn out for several over-zealous young bu reaucrats, charging them with false arrests, unlawful search and seizure, and other crimes. An officer must not become so great no matter what meat he : eats. You may recall Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and the question asked about Caesar—-/‘Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that he has grown so great?” I think I quote it correctly. A citizen is not a person under the heel of a public officer; he is a Sovereign—in our theory o f government. Arrogant abuse of authority can be punished and the knowledge that he may be hauled into court on a criminal charge may well deter some ag gressive or presumpthour officer who mistreata a citixen or who denies to that citizen those inal ienable rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution. And then there are the courts. Sometimes I think we of South Carolina are fortunate in having men on the Bench who have com mon sense, as well as knowledge of law'. Both Federal and State Judges in South Carolina' deserve our respectful regard. Scfrnething else I read: the de partment of Justice is always pry ing into business, oftentimes charging restraint of trade altho there may be a dozen great cor porations actively seeking busir ness. I call attention again to the so- called Fourteenth Amendment. Assuming for the moment that it is valid—and I do not admit that —the last paragraph of that so- called Amendment says: “The Congress shall have power to en force by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article.” Has the Congress ever done that? No; the President and the Supreme Court have presumed to act. They have arrogated to them selves a function and an authority specifically conferred on the Congress—and only on the Con gress—by that i.o-called Amend ment!! I grow more and more amazed at the lackadaisical complacency of our General Assembly with re gard to the challenge of the val idity of the so-called Fourteenth Amendment. We continue to play with all sorts of proposals, even to closing the schools, instead of it- challenging the Amendment self bet ore the Nation! That we should close the schools would be better than submitting to the despotic decree of the Fed eral Supreme Court, but why not carry the war into the enemy’s camp? Did you ever hear of a General who sat back and waited to be at tacked unless he held an absolute ly impregnable position? You may recall that the so-called im pregnable Hindenburg Line was broken by our 30th and 27th Div isions in the First World War— Yes, the Americans did that. The 30th was trained hi Greenville and the 27th was trained in Spartan burg. So you see what South Car olina soil and air did to the South Carolina, North Carolina, Tenn essee, and New York soldiers!.. And in the Second World War the Germans crashed the so-called impregnable Maginot Line. We are entrenched and buttress ed and encircled by impregnable legal position, aren’t we? Impreg nable? Yes, w T e are waiting for the enemy to attack. Very poor strategy. Certainly our legisla tive Generals are all McClellans: No Napoleon, no Lee, no Jackson. I prefer that my argument speak for itself, but if I must as sert a claim I say, as a former Professor of Military History at The Citadel and Director of a group of University and Military lecturers of the AEF in France, that there is sufficient ground for challenging the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment. I think I could persuade 19 men to join me in contributing $100 each for a study of the Amendment by several scholars of national re putation, but just think of all the nation-wide publicity if the Gen eral Assembly of South Carolina should adopt a resolution challeng ing the validity of the Fourteenth Amendment and providing for three or four national figures to set forth the facts!!

PHONE 982 After all that serious legal talk I find that, even at this critical or crucial moment, when no mat ter so impinges on our minds as taxes, a Bank sends out a book let—a Bank, mark you, and it sparkles a bit: Here are samples, excerpts or specimens: “The average husband is con- 'cerned about what the govern ment spends and what his wife sperHs—the difference being that he’s not afraid to criticize the government.” “An old timer is one who can remember when the government was criticized for giving away free seeds”; “Poor man! He was ruined by untold wealth.” “Untold wealth?” “Yes, he didn’t tell about it in his income tax return.” “Teacher: ‘Johnny, name two documents that have contributed much to our government’. John ny: ‘Form 1040 and 1040A.” “Psychiatrists say it’s not good for a man to keep too jnuch to himself. The Department of In ternal Revenue says the same thing.” “A fine is a tax you have to pay for doing wrong. A tax is a fine you have to pay for doing okay.” “There is only one place where you can find financial security, and that’s inside your income.” Some advertisers make very subtle approaches, striking like great strategists and tacticians where we are weakest—near the pocket book or wallet. When I was in South America I knew a man who referred to money as agua— the Spanish for water. But here I find a Bank discussing a city’s water supply and he jumps off, or climbs out talking about money. He even says that a great city may use 460 million gallons of water a day. Since thousands of people seldom bathe or drink wa ter that means that some thous ands use lots of water. As my old friend in Saluda county told me about fattening cattle in the win ter, “They take thousands of water.” “Except for the air we breathe, there is nothing so important for our well-being as water. Although a human being can survive for weeks without food, lack of wa ter cannot .be endured normally for more than four or five days. Even a camel, the most effective reservoir of the animal world, re quires additional water after a- bout 17 days. Water is similarly essential to our complex economic life. It is required for effective production of both agriculture and industry, as well as for the comfort and convenience of our homes.” “The vital importance of water to Los Angeles is best and most quickly demonstrated by the use- age of figures: More than 460 millions of gallons per day— about 170 billion gallons a year. Excluding the use of water for agricultural purposes, the w’ater used in homes, business and indus try in Los Angeles represents an average of more than 180 gallons of water per person daily. In addition to the more'obvious uses of water for drinking, home appliances and agriculture, the liquid is put to ever-increasing ap plication in commerce and indus try.
