A DO NOTHING CONGRESS.
As the weeks drift by and we approach the day
for adjournment of congress the question comes
insistently, is no constructive work to be done?
The senate seems to have turned itself wholly
into a grand jury, investigating everything its
publicity hunters can think of. Only the president
is keeping his mind on the real job in hand. So im
portant is the legislation before congress and so
wholly without reason is its present neglect that
President Coolidge has been called upon to summon
conferences of senate and house leaders to remind
them of the purpose of their election to office. Con
gress has played fast and loose with the problem of
the farmers of the country.
* * *
While the senate particularly has been running
amuck the president has done what he can to relieve
the farm situation.
He has secured the co-operation of large financial
resources in the organization of a special loan
corporation to help the bank situation in the north
west.
He has advanced the tariff on wheat, the advance
to go into effect April 12. Free traders who have
shouted with glee at the temporary set back in wheat
prices have overlooked the fact that the value of this
action is in the long pull of the year round market,
not upon temporary flurries.
He has sought to relieve the one crop situation
in the northwest through the passage of the Norberk
bill, but congress was so set upon partisanship that
it refused to grant the relief which the passage of
this bill would have afforded.
• • •
At this time it is well to recall the urgings of
President Coolidge in his message to congress last
December. It has been nearly four months now
sine# he urged:
"No complicated scheme of relief, no plan for
government fixing of prices, no resort to public
treasury, will he of any permanent value in estab
lishing agriculture. Simple and direct methods put
Into operation by the farmer himself are the only
real sources for restoration.”
He argued that the farmer must be immediately
helped by a reduction in national and local taxation.
Also that a reorganization of the freight rate struc
ture was necessary, to lighten the burden of trans
portation costs. Then he went on in another para
graph :
"Divers flcatlon Is necessary. Those farmer*
who raise tneir living on their land are not greatly
in distress. Sm-h loans as are wisely needed to
assist in buying stock and other materials to start
in this direction should be financed through a
government agenc y as a temporary and emergency
expedient."
Congress has paid little if any heed to the
president’s appeal for the farmer. Instead of fol
lowing the suggestions made, and trying to do some
thing in a practical way for the relief of agriculture,
time has been given almost exclusively to the manu
facture of political medicine. Wide and general
search has been made for scandal to unloose, for
sensations to explode, for mud to throw. Hour after
hour, day after day, the senate halls have rever
berated as the anti-administration orators have ver
bally assailed all within their reach with invective and
abuse. Farmers have been forgotten, agriculture,
industry in general, is over-shadowed by the needs
of politics.
Never in American history has such an exhibi
tion been given. Fraud should he exposed. Cor
ruption should be denounced. Incompetency and dis
honesty should be exposed. The pursuit and un
covering of evil is always in order. But it should
not be made the entire order of business. The public
applauds the condemnation of the oil and other
scandals, but a much better feeling would exist if
something else were being done in a substantial way
to lighten burdens and improve conditions.
• • *
When congress met in December, it was pre
sented with a definite program for the revision of the
levenue bill that taxes might be lowered. The presi
dent and the secretary of treasury recommended
that action be taken in time to relieve the payment
on the 1923 lax. From December until March, the
house delayed action, and then finally passed a bill
for which a veto was anticipated, because it did not
meet the government requirements. A deficit was
assured if the measure became a law. Then the wise
' and sapient senators on the democratic side accused
the president of playing politics, because he did not
earlier plead for the reduction in the tax rate. The
bill still hangs fire in the senate.
The president's recommendations for relief from
transportation costs remain unheeded. His request
for help to the farmer has produced only bills that
are doomed in advance, because they will not meet
the needs of agriculture, and contemplate only those
things the president said ought to be avoided. Sure
ly congress so far is condemned by its own sets.
• • •
Now the president has called the leaders into
conference and has in private urged upon them the
neeesaity for getting busy. It is not so much a ques
tion of whether the legislation can be put, into shnpc
that an adjournment may be taken in June before
the convention. It is how to take up the lost mo
tion and regain the ground lost. Time wasted in
speechifying and shotgun inquiries into clothes line,
back fence gossip, can not lie replaced. So far the
man in the White House is the only one who has
shown any real concern about the farmer. It is high
time the others at the Capitol got busy and did some
thing hesides talk big.
Senator Borah’s recent warning seems to have
fallen upon deaf ears. His warning, however, was
full of meaning the people will in the end judge
eongreas by what it has accomplished as tha national
legislature, not by what it has done as a grand jury.
FARMERS ARE NOT RADICALS
An epithet that is commonly applied to voter*
nowaday*, and especially to the farmer*, who do not
accept "standpat” policies i* "radical." Nothin*
could he farther from the fact. Farmers, and par
ticularly those of the middlewest. are null bravely
facing a serious situation. They have been threatened
with utter ruin, and have been told that only through
their own efforts can they win the way back to a
solid footing.
These men are considering their own problem*,
and earnestly striving to avert disaster. If they do
not accept the dictum that conies from the east, es
pecially from the editorial sanctums of Manhattan,
they should not be condemned. They realize that
their state is due to a maladjustment of economic
conditions, and they seek to remedy it by such rea
sonable means as are within their reach.
Eastern editors should keep in mind that the
disparity between what the farmer has to sell and
what he has to buy is such as in time may pauperize
the entire agricultural industry. Just now it ap
pears temporary, Hut it will become permanent if it
be not chnnged. Farmers have seen aid given the
railroads, the manufacturers and exporters. Now
that the farmer comes forward and asks for a little
attention, he is dubbed a "radical," and by those to
whose relief he has made the most liberal contribu
tions.
The western farmer is busy with his own trpu
'bles, and they are quite enough to occupy him. If
he does not cast his vote according to a program
prepared along the Atlantic seaboard, it is because
he is not satisfied that is the road to take. It is a
mistake, however, to regard him as wanting to smash
things, for he knows as well as anyone that his own
future is wrapped up with that of the whole land.
He knows that he will prosper only when all pros
per, and he is sane enough to want to share in the
prosperity that others are now enjoying. Willing to
work, anxious to pay his own debts, determined to
win out, the farmer righteously resents being called
a “radical.”
BUSINESS IS BETTER, THANK YOU.
While the congressional inquisitors are putting
on the rack almost everybody they can lay their
hands on, making a political holiday for those who
want to hurrah, business as usual is the slogan. From
the Department of Labor comes a report of greater
activity in industry. A survey made in February,
just reported on, covered 52 selected industries, and
these show an increase of 6.7 per cent increase in
pay roll, 5.4 per cent increase in capital earnings;
and 1.2 per cent increase in number, of persons em
ployed.
More men and women are at work. Their wages
are greater. Their consumptive power is enhanced.
Another very significant factor is that in February
imports amounted to a total of $335,000,000, and J
exports mounted to $367,000,000, a trade balance in
our favor for the month of $32,000,000. Followed
through for a year, this produces an export total of
$4,404,000,000 and a total of imports amounting to
$4,020,000,000, with a favorable trade balance of
$384,000,000. Tttese figures ought to reassure thoxe
who are now demanding that foreign markets be
opened to Americans. We seem to be enjoying about
all that could v be offered, short of an absolute
monopoly.
Marginal speculation in stocks, grains and simi
lar commodities is at a low ebb. Demand for ma
terial, especially the metals, is on the increase, an
other sign of reviving activity due to increased con
sumption. Nowhere is there a sign that warrants
the pessismism usually accompanying a presidential
year. The divorce between business and politics
may not be complete, but the separation is wider
than a great many imagine.
NEW AMERICAN CARDINALS.
Elevation at the same consistorial meeting of two
American prelates to the high office of cardinal is a
noteworthy event in the annals of even so important
an institution as the Roman Catholic church. By
this act the church has increased the number of its
princes in the United States to four. Cardinal O’Con
nell of Boston, who was elevated in 1911; Cardinal
Daugherty of Philadelphia, elevated in 1921, and
Cardinals Hayes and Mundelein, just now given the
red hat. This recognition by the pope and his coun
sellors of the -increasing importance of the United
States cap not help but be gratifying to the church
men.
Pius XI, in his allocution at the consistory, paid
a glowing tribute to the generosity of the people of
the United States, as exhibited in the various efforts
to relieve distress and suffering throughout the
world. It was in his remarks that Providence has
placed some brothers in a position where they can
help others, and his expression of gratitude that the
works of charity are carried on, that the pope said:
"We feel, however, that somethin* would be
wanting in thla expression of gratitude if special
mention were not made of the poaltion end part
which the t'nited States of America took and main
tained in this concourse of charity."
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, as
seats of the four cardinals, will take on new sig
nificance in the government of the church on this
continent. Cardinal Begin of Quebec and Cardinal
Calvacanti of Rio de Janeiro are the other princes of
the church in the western world.
It is not strange that democratic candidates are
building their hopes of success on investigations,
rumors and scandals. Democracy always chirks up
when doubt and disaster are rife. It was born in
the caves of Adullam.
Mr. Rohrcr’s chief trouble did not lay in enforc
ing the prohibitory law. It lay in the inability of
any red-blooded man to get along peaceably with
the suspicious and nagging elements within the ultra
reform ranks.

Why the Federal Powers Have Grown
and Those of the States Declined
A feeble executive implies a feeble execution of the
government; a feeble execution is but another phrase
for a bad execution: and a government ill executed,
whatever it may be in theory, must be in practice, a bad
government.—Alexander Hamilton, “The Federalist,"
No. LXX.
XLV.
HE leaders of tlie early feder
alist party were men of
high patriotism, exceptional
ability, and pure characters,
but It has been said of them
that they were terribly afraid lest the
country should not he sufficiently
governed.
This question of how much govern
ernnient Is enough pever has been set
tled to the satisfaction of everybody.
It still Is debated and probably al
ways will be. We have seen what
•Jeffersonian republicans held on tills
point and where the Hamiltonian fed
eralists stood. We now have to trace
the results of the successive com
promises to which their respective
theories have been subjected, and to
see where they have led us in prac
tice.
The first thing that must lie plain
to us on the slightest examination of
our political history Is that the fed
eral power has steadily grown, while
that of the states has greatly declined.
If the federal as opposed to the na
tional theory had retained its orlgnal
force, this condition would be regard
ed as a great evil. It is doubtless
true that local government. In theory,
is more likely to be under the control
of the governed than that which gov
erns them from a distance. But It
has been a steadily revealed weakness
of the original theory of the state gov
ernments that they neglect or refuse
to exercise their powers. We know
that If a man does not use or exercise
his arm it will In time lose its muscu
lar power and become useless to him.
It Is so with the functions of govern
ment. Broadly, the reason why
power has passed from the states, and
beeen assumed by the federal govern
ment, is because the states have failed
to exercise it, and the people have
been forced to turn more'and more to
the government at Washington.
Now, under our a\ stem it is appar
ent that laws in the states ought to
lie as nearly as possible uniform, es
pecially laws relating to business and
industry. This was recognized in the
constitutional convention, and it was
provided that congress should have
power to enact national bankruptcy
laws If the states were equally alert
to the necessities of ths puhlie wel
fare and should pass laws uniform In
character, it would not be necessary
to have so much national legislation.
But their governments sre not equal
In this respect. Some may provide
necessary legislation while others re
fuse to do so, and this makes for in
equality and injustice in an age when
the powers of industry no longer are
confined to the states where they
originate, but are transported to
markets in nil the states.
yet us take an example of an in
equality of law resulting from con
flicting slate legislation. It Is clearly
within tlie competency of states to
make laws regulating child labor. The
necessity for such regulation is recog
nized. it is demanded by, the public
welfare. Some of the state have
made such regulations, but others
have refused to do so, with the result
that citizens engaged in tlie manufae
ture of articles of Interstate com
merce (n those states that have
adopted such regulations are put
upon an unfair competition with man
ufacturers in the states that have re
fused to enact such laws. In effect,
the states that enact remedial legis
lation penalize themselves.
When such conditions arise, and
they have been of constant recurrence
In the great commercial and indus
trial development of the present gen
eratlon. the people have had to seek
the relief of national legislation
Every stteh extension of the national
power necessarily expands the fed
eral machinery of government, and
gives occasion for the cry that Its
functions and cost are becoming bur
densome and vexatious. But If that
Is true, It Is so only because local
government in tlie United Staten lias
failed In Its responsibilities. If the
Increasing power of the federal gov
eminent is an evil. If centralization of
government in Washington is a dan
ger, then the people of the states have
invited them b.v allowing their local
governments to fall into their present
condition.
The state legislatures in America
have abdicated their functions. With
some notable exceptions they no
longer enjoy public confidence or
prestige. Their members are ill paid,
unrepresentative of the best in ability
or character in their states and iby
reason of the influences through
which they are chosen are unrespon
sive to the publics needs. Legisla
tive sessions in the states are too like
ly to he the battles of the private in
terests that control votes through lob
bies and the political brokers whom
we call bosses. Public measures re
ceive little consideration. In most
state legislatures, for example, the
militia is shamefully neglected. Kdu
cation is neglected. Unequal tax laws
are passed by reason of the political
advantage enjoyed by the representa
tives of special interests. The prin
ciple of representation carried to ex
cess and capitalized by political forces
produces types of legislators easily
controlled by interests that specialize
in that business. These interests, un
concerned for the public welfare,
labor only for their ow n ends, and it
is those that labor with state legisla
tures that get what they want from
them.
These are the causes, we will And.
that have brought about the central
ization of government in Washington
and its decripitude in the states. The
loss of vigorous and efficient local
government to the people must be de
plored, but if the trend is in that di
rection, if government is hemming
more and more centralized In Wash
ington. then the safeguard must be
to watch the government at Washing
ton and hold It strictly responsible.
The fpnr of centralization that
haunted Jefferson was based on its
threat to local government. Local
government he thought of ns the pro
tector of the people’s liberties. But in
lha evolution of our system it is the
federal power .that has become the
people's protector while their local
government, by its breakdown and in
efficiency, has become the danger to
their liberties. Whatever els* a gov
ernment may be it must be responsi
ble. if the federal power has as
sumed responsibility where the states
have declined it, the people know at
least what power to hold to account.

Astronomy, a Spwiilitlv^ Srirnrr. j
Gibbon, Neb.—To the Editor of The j
< inialia llee: In last Sunday* Pee It j
la slated that the students at Crelgh-1
ton college have discontinued the
study of astronomy. Also that the
plnnt-t Man, (being nearly 60 0(16.000
miles further from the sun than we
are), receives only about half the
amount of sunlight and heat that we
receive. Were that the case and Hie
planet* received their heat by radia
tion. tlien tile four planets outside of
.Mats' orbit, i. e, .Jupiter, Saturn.
I’ranus and Neptune, from 100 to
1,200 time* larger than our planet,
would be locked in eternal frigidity
and. of course, uninhabitable. The
two itiner planets, between us and
the Run, would be uninhabitable on
account of the intense heat. So in
our Sun's family of eight major plan
ets, our little earth would lie the only
one that would be suitable for animal
or vegetable life. So alt those vast
orbs would have no office in nature's
economy except to shed a faint, twink
ling light for tlie sole benefit of the
inhahliants of our little world, put
let ua look at a few facts.
The surface of Mars shows regular
marking*, supposed to be canals and
vegetation bordering such canals, and
the white caps at the poles undoubt
edly snow ami Ice, which increases to
some 25 degrees when winter condt-1
lions prevail at either pole, and near-'
ly, or quite disappear during the sum-1
mer solstice, would Indicate that the |
climate on Mars is about the same as ;
prevails on our earth.
Now it would be absolutely Irnposai-.
ble for the sun (no matter how) to:
transmit heat by radiation to us
through 9.1,000,000 miles of Inter- *
planetary apace and get it to us in !
a heated condition while the tern-j
perature of space is 271 degree* lie
low zero.
The writer's home receives light,
heat and power from an electric pow
er plant 15 miles away, sent by a ,
cold dynamo over a cold wire, and
we receive approximately the samel
degree of heat, etc., as homes near
the power plant. To prove that the
sun's heat comes to us electrically,
and not by radiation: Take any con
vex lens, (a four-inch reading glass
will do) and throw a focus from the
sun on any light combustible and it
will he set on fire at once. Now try
your lens by throwing a focus from
an electric arc light, as used in movie
picture shows and you get the same
results as with the sun. Now try
your lens with a fire or lamp light pro
duced by combustion, no matter how
hot. and your focus vvill be cold.
Proving that -the rays from the sun
are transmitted electrically and are
converted into light on reaching our
atmosphere, and he.it, when it meets
the resistance of the earth: so that
each planet probably receives ap
proximately about the same degree of
light, heat and power that we do.
Teach the students demonstrable
facts and they will doufltlcss he glad
to study this very interesting branch
of science. To get light ard heat to
our planet by radiation would require
that every cubic foot of a cube in
space around the «un of 1S6.000.000
miles in diameter must be kept con
tinually up to the same degree of light
and heal that we receive. 3nd all]
rsting to waste except the Infinitesimal
amount that Mercury. Venus, our
earth and our moon could make use
of. Aviators tell u* that both light
and heat decrease very rapidly as
they rise above the earth's surface.

Praises Coolidge Stand.
Auburn, Neb.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Mee: Tour editorial, ‘Trawl

fine and opportune. Whenever the
"worth while" people of these United

K. Means and Roxie Stinson who
brazenly acknowledge their taking
part irv.all these nefarious doings and
who ha\» "no pood” character and
consequently no shame, I think it is
time to call a halt.
They would say of our Savior. "We
got Him. We found Him down by a
well talking to a woman of the under
world."
Can we afford to encourage thw
eossiper and blackmailer who seek to
iraduoe all people of good character
and high standing’ Never! Deliver
us from the scandal monger. One of
the first things .Jesus said so his dis
ciples was. "Judge not lest ye be also
judged, for with what measur# T*
meff, it shall be measured to you
again." I am a Roosevelt republican
but voted for Wilson the iaat time he
ran. I greatly admire Coolidge. I
believe the sensible, right minded peo
ple realize that he is firm and depend

for the enforcement of law and order,
and practical help for the farmer,
and that will help all of us. Keep up
