THE RIGHT WAY
The Red Cross is to conduct a
drive for $10,000,000 in emergency
relief funds to assist state and local
Bhicm in providing 10011. nouiai
and other necessities of life to those
I in distress.
The first reaction to this an
nouncement on the part of politi
cians who demand governmental mil
li ns to feed the destitute is an out
i that the Red Cross plan has been
cooked up by President Hoover to
Istop food loan legislation in the Con
gress. And it may be. If it achieves
this purpose as well as the broad hn-
i "-sanitarian one it is intended, the
.tm;ntry win owe Mr .Hoover and the
Rp( Cro- - double dpi,t of gratitude.
Relief will he handled by an organ
ization that knows how to do the
job. and the hungry family will not
jhave to share its bread with the hip.-
gfy bureaucrat.
Moreover, relief will be contributed
voluntarily by those able to contri
bute and struggling business and
smaller taxpayers will not be pushed
further into public debt. With Con
gressional proposals for food loans
i now boosted to demands for -30,-j
000.000 in order to feed farmers and
on the political philantrophy of the
lawmakers.
As much as anything else, the poli
ticians clamoring for Federal doles
wish to establish a principle and a
precedent, and a dangerous one. The
states and local communities, with
the aid of an augmented Red Cross
fund, will be able to take care of
their needy, any effort now or in the
future to stimulate political or in
dividual mendicancy at the expense
of Federal funds must be condemned.
:o:
NOT A TIME FOR POLITICS
The conventional attitude of the
public toward politicians is one of
disparagement. They seem to be re
garded as persons engaged in an un
wholesome avocation and possessing
Qualities suited only to the pursuit of
selfish ends.
Hardness, calculation and suspic
ion are set down as the prevailing
j e lements in their character, along
I with an experienced skepticism which
j prevents them from falling victims to
credulity or illusion.
It is an estimate which has had
much to support it in the past in the
lives of men and the history of their
iictivities. Seasoned politicians have.
indeed, been for the most part a prac-
tical lot, devoted to realities and lit
tle exposed to the attributes of in
nocence. But it begins to look as if politics
might be on the threshold of a new
day. Congress started to play politics
with unemployment and drouth relief
hut thought better of it.

LUXURY IN GOVERNMENT
Indebtedness of the common
wealths of the United States increas
ed from $1.74 per capita in 1905 to
$10.20 per capita in 1925. The rise
Of the total from $150,000,000 to
$1,247,000,000 in the decade was a
serious topic of discussion by the na
tional conference on government, at
the Cleveland meeting. Several of
the experts thought that one cause
c.f the increase was following the
line of least resistance. It is easier
to continue employment and multi
ply services than to pare expenses
and deny favors. Administration is
afficted with the same trouble as the
people themselves. This is an age
o fluxury.

A PRINCE OF OLD INDIA
That United Press correspondent
who set himself the job of finding out
who is actually the world's richest
;raan managed to produce soraeming
jot a surprise. The title belongs, not:t;iat voters in the next election
ito Ford or Rockefeller, but to a rela-
tively obsc ure Indian prince called j pre-election pledges will not be toea
the Nizam of Hyderabad. L about in the futile ebb and flow
This gentleman is worth fully a!of factional discontent,
billion dollars, and probably a good) :o:
deal more. Furthermore, he has all
of his fortune where he can see it
and touch it. Half of it consists of
gold gold coins, golden bars, golden
ornaments, heaped up in the royal
coffers; the rest of it consists of dia
monds, emeralds, gem-studded brace
lets and coronets, pearl necklaces,
and the like.
And all of it, you may be very
isure, lies wasting its glitter on the
darkness of an impenetrable treasure-house,
with sword-girt guards at
the door ready to strike down anyone
who so much as tries to get an un
authorized peek at it.
All of this is surprising. We like
to think that our oil kings and mo
tor magnates are the earth's richest
men. But after all, it is entirely fit
ting that the title should go to a
prince of India. From the dawn of
history, India has been the fabulous
land of unbelievable wealth.
Alexander discovered it, and his
rough Macedonian infantry men,
clanking through rich Indian cities
with their long spears slanting over
their shoulders, blinked at the as
tounding richness of the palaces they
had seized, and doubtless told tall
tales about them to their children
when they got home. The Mediter
ranean people knew it throughout
the middle ages, starved Europe
dreamed incessantly of the storied
cities of gold and diamonds beyond
Arabia. The Arabs broke through to
loot; after them came the English,
gaping in disbelief at the wealth that
lay ready for their grasp, seizing
enough to make themselves uncom
fortably rich yet assuring the people
at home that there was so much
there that they were amazed at their
own moderation.
Naturally, the prince of India has
figured in literature. Lew Wallace
took him up and cast the Wander
ing Jew in the role of Indian nabob,
piling up his riches for uncounted
generations. Kipling took up the
theme, and drew an unforgettable
picture of the buried treasure house
beneath the abandoned city, with the
white cobra sleeping among the for
gotten chests of gems and sacks of
'gold dust, ready to deal out vengeance
or a aeaa rajan on any intruder. ceo-
nomists have worried about it, fear-
ing that all of the precious metal in
.. .-
tne woria win eveniuany drain uu
into India and vanisn, locKed secure
ly in the strong boxes of a thousand
turbaned princes.
The Nizam of Hyderabad, then,
has a right to his title. There were
billionaires before Ford and Rocke
feller. And what is more fitting
than a billionaire who lives up to
his position, and keeps all of his
wealth handy In hard cash?

ADMINISTRATION GAINS
A week ago the legislative situa
tion looked rather black for the
Hoover Administration. But several
abrupt shifts have changed this in
a very few days. The President se
verely censured the Senate for its at
tempt to reconsider confirmation of
Power Commission members after
they have taken office. This won
public approval and the Senate with
drew from its untenable position.
The Senate approved the Presi- petition before said Court on the
1.1 cholc, ror the Tarm Coram.s- J,
sion, including Edgar B. Brossard, sald court on said 6th day of Feb
Utah. This was a most important ad-. ruary, A. D., 1931, at nine o'clock
ministration victorw. Rejection of a. m. to contest the said petition, the
' I - I U 1 i Willi.-" 1 W I Iw-.-i, .--
House of Representatives, was a fur
ther gain for the White House, al
though we have not heard the last
of this controversy, probably.
If this trend continues, it is very
likely that a special session of Con
gress can be avoided a further gain
for the Hoover Administration, which
opposes such a session without say
ing why. But whether the Presi
dent or the Senate wins the major
ity of victories on Capitol Hill, the
present session shows a disparity be
tween executive and legislative that
bodes ill for 1932.
Quarrels over the respective powers
of White House and Congress have
been many. Partisan quarrels for
control of the Senate have been still
more numerous. But more menac
ing than these is the abrupt cleav
age between Administration and
anti-Administration forces on a ser
ies of vital questions. On control of
water power, on the tariff, on rail
way consolidation, on prohibition,
the gap widens daily. Bitterness has
increased until the Republican party
cannot possibly be thought a unit.

of this miserable quibbling, to the
detriment of the public interest, for
many years to come, a thorough re- Much good newspaper and maga
