OUR COURSE TOWARD
ECONOMIC OLIGARCHY
A campaign speech is not expected
to be very intelligent. Usually the
appeal is partisan, addressed to the
emotions rather than to the intellect.
The explanation of this kindergarten
technique is that the candidate is of
ten as dumb as he mistakenly as
sumes the voter to be.
Governor Roosevelt was not guilty
of that common campaign sin in his
Commonwealth club address in San
Francisco. He paid the voters the
high compliment of talking up to
them rather than down. The result
was a remarkably able and honest
statement of the economic problem
which perpetuates this depression and
which threatens the future of the na
tion. "Put plainly." said Governor Roose
velt, "we are steering a steady course
toward economic oligarchy, if we are
not there already."
Pointing out that six hundred odd
corporations control two-thirds of
American industry today, he showed
how these vast aggregates of cap
ital rules our lives. To talk of in
dependence of the wage earner, or
farmer, or small business man is ab
rurd unless the government is able
to protect the rank and file from the
encroachments of the powerful and
the unscrupulous.
Governor Roosevelt does net pur
post to destroy the large corporation,
to retreat to the p re-machine age of
small units, which i3 impossible; He
purposes to regulate these giants, to
make them serve the public interest.
Certainly that is no small task. But
it is the supreme test of capitalism.
It is the only way out if capitalism is
to survive.
The job, as he describes it, consists
:'n "administering resources and
plants already in hand, of seeking to
ie-estab!ish foreign markets for our
surplus production, of meeting the
problem cf underconsumption, of dis
tributing wealth and products more
equitably, of adapting existing eco
nomic organizations to the service of
the people."
It is significant that Governor
Roosevelt cpeaks cf "underconsump
tion" rather than of overproduction.
The key to his solution is redistribu
tion cf wealth on a basis at once fair
er and more efficient.
Whenever a na'tion starves in the
midst cf plenty, as millions of Amer
icans would be starving today but for
charity, the system responsible can
not go on it can be scrarped or it
can be revamped, but some change is
certain.
The democratic candidate proposes
to revamp it. For the present dog-eat-dcg
business anarchy he would
substitute "an economic constitution
al order." He sees it as the duty of
the government to assist in this de
velopment of "an economic declara
tion of rights."
To the old declaration of polit
ical rights that "every man has a
right to life." Governor Roosevelt
adds: "And this means that he has
also a right to make a comfortable
living." It is the duty of the govern-
ment to protect the citizen in this pri
mary right to a livable job.
This is the kind cf primary intel-

THE INDEPENDENT WEST
Nebraska, Iowa and other states of
the middle and far west in recent
weeks have come to appreciate, as
rarely before, their importance in na
tional life. It was not chance, but a
careful weighing of political forces
that sent Governor Roosevelt thru
out the west on his major campaign
tour. It is not chance, but an ac
ceptance of the importance of west
ern thought that brings President
Hoover to Des Moines tonight.
At last at long, long last the
fight of the west for recognition of its
needs, its importance, its contribu
tions to American life, is getting re
sults. Recognition has been too long
delayed. For too many generations
the empire of the Missouri valley has
endured the taunts ar.d insults and
disparaging sneers cf the people in
habiting the eastern fringe of this
great land.
For too long has the west meekly
permitted the dilettante practitioners
of eastern culture contemptuously to
arsign us of this region to uncouth
membership in a "cow belt."
For too long has this west tamely
cast its political lot with the barons
cf industry and tre overlords of fi
nance who did not know whether O.n
aha was the name of a city, a river or
a state and didn't care.
For too long this region has weakly
permitted itself to be recognized only
because it once had Indians, it once
enforced law by vigilante rather than
sheriff, it once was a "picturesque
wild" and "wooly" section, whose con
tributiens to vigorous American life
were ignored.
It is time for a new deal in Amer
ican affairs, and a shift in political
dominance is only a part of that ne
cessary new deal. If the dry rot that
has accumulated in American business
and industrial and political and cul
tural leadership is to be gouged away,
the west must do it.
The west that must assume lead
ership in American affairs is not the
west so casually and ignorantly pic
tured by the east. It is not the west
of the Tom Mix movie, of the Diam
ord Dick thriller, or of the Sinclair
Lewis Main Street and Babbitt.
The west that must arise In Its
strength and assume its lasting inde
pendence is the west that has always
given American life Its most vital,
most picturesque and most original
characteristics.
The western plains have a meaning
that no student of history can ignore
Whenever there has been a glowing
spark in American life it has follow
ed a trend to the west. Whenever
there has been dullness, it was be
cause that trend was checked.
The first west comprised the colo
nists who bravely peopled with white
men. and women the bleak New Eng
land shores and the dangerous Vir
ginia lowlands.
The second west was the early
Northwest Territory that, in the days
following the revolution, beckoned the
hardiest and most adventurous souls
across the Appalachians.
Then followed the west of the

cf the Mormon migration and of the
Kinkaid homesteaders. And while the
consequent development was going on
the fearful ones who stayed In their
eastern homes became fattening para
sites upon the growth of the west.
Only today, when their prosperity has
collapsed with ours, are they ready
to admit our importance.
The east must recognize at last that
the west is no mere appendage to
eastern life, but an integral part of
American experience and the nation
al life.
It is in the west that Americans
have proved their greatest skill and
courage by conquering nature, mak
ing the desert plains a garden, spread
ing afar great irrigation districts.
laying untold miles of steel rail, pass
ing the highest and most difficult
mountains.
It is in the west that farm life still
remains dominant over that of the
softer existence in the city.
It is in the west that the six-shoot
er was needed for the day of the cow
boy and barb-wire fences became a ne
cessity to bound the almost limitless
expanse of farm and ranch land.
It is in the west that the new and
enduring forces of American cultural
life were given birth and early in
spiration, a fact apparent when one
mentions Twain, Lewis, Cather, Gar
land, Dreiser.
It is in the west that new freedom
in political thought has found first
expression, as witness Lincoln, Bryan
LaFollette.
And from the west who can doubt
it? must come the forces that are to
redeem the United States from its
present morass.
While the political revolt of the
west is uppermost in thought today,
it will be accompanied by a severing
also of the shackles that have too
much subordinated western business
western industry, mestern transports
tion, western literature, and all west
ern life, to an east no longer entitled
to dominate or qualified to direct the
national destiny.

Taxation Is the big problem now
adays. County Treasurer's advertised

publication within a few days, is al
most twice as long as in former years
And strange to say, the Increase In
farm land tax delinquencies is not
very great. Town property, well,
there's another story. In Plattsmouth
the number is doubled and the city
will act to bid in all those of one or
two years' delinquency, while all over
two years, the county will be urged
to institute foreclosure suit. It's a bit
ter pill to take, but every minute's
delay aggrevates instead of alleviates
the tax collection problem and trans
fera the entire load onto the backs of
the remaining few who pay.

A pen is mighty, but a typewriter

government requires "Statements of
Ownership," so the public may know
just who is feeding it literary opin
ions and editorial digest.
