Idaho Falls Times Register: Individuality and states rights like personal liberty, are things which have, to a very large measure been thrown into the discard on account of government supervision Local is largely, a thing of the past and oui morals and virtues, personal likes and dislikes, our schools, public welfare, farm affairs, are all supervised today by bureaus, each with its army of inspectors, all on the pay roll, and in addition tc their personal unpopularity, add to the cost of upkeep. The federal government of the United States has gone far anc beyond the thoughts and desires of the original framers of the con stitution and little is left to the individual or the local community oi the state. Quoting a recent editorial in the Boise, Idaho, Statesman or this subject, that paper says in drawing a comparison, If ya blow a balloon too big, she busts;" that is small boy talk, but good sense The people of the United States are becoming restive unde too much supervision and board control. The power is given b constitutional amendments put over by busy minority which has selfish and personal interest in people who are so busy attending tc their own affairs that they have not time to seek to tell other peoph how they shall and must live, and what they may and may not do. The statute books are jammed with laws that disregard the constitution. The history of the world is replete with the story of many gov ernments and people who and which have fallen from that verj fault. Germany, under Bismark and the late kaiser; France undei Napoleon, the nations of Rome and Greece. The idea of the framers of the constitution were that the people of the various states might well handle their own affairs and oni state be free from the domination of another so far as their private affairs were concerned. States were to handle the details of loca government while the federal government was to concern itself wit! foreign affairs, the army and navy and the relations between states. Year after year, to quote Senator Borah, Congress is lashec into passing laws which are manifestly unconstitutional and it has become to be a settled principle, apparently, that congress shoulc disregard the constitution and leave the supreme court alone to protect it. Congress and the courts have given to the federal government powers to the point where restlessness on the part of the people i: the result, ptople who are tired of being regulated, controlled, cen sored and told what to do.

Declaring that there are doctrines abroad in the land which if not controverted and overcome, may lead to the fall of this great country as the countries of the past have fallen, Colonel Theodort Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, pointed the finger o' warning at American economic strife in his address at the conclud ing exercises of the 8th annual convention of the grand lodge o Elks, at Atlantic City, July 14. "I am going to point out to you certain matters that must bt taken in hand if our country is to make its march of progress," In declared. "I am not going to try to make you cheer; I am going tc try to make you think. Vere I to tell you that I thought all things were running smoothly and that I saw for our country a course lying clear before you across a calm sea, I would be telling a deliberate lie. But a few short weeks ago, in Southern Illinois, in as atrociou: murders as are known in our annals, men were killed, not cleanlj killed, but brutally killed, and up to the time in which I speak then is no shadow of a conviction of the murderers in sight.

YMERICAN JUNIOR RED CROSS ACTIVE IN FOREIGN LANDS WEEKLY Although the American Red Cross after eight years has closed the bulk af its European relief operations, America is still very potently represented in this overseas field for its school children, through the Junior American Red Cross, are still carry-.n- g on. For the present fiscal year 120,000 has been appropriated out sf the National Childrens Fund, raised entirely by these Juniors, for work n behalf of European children whose lives have been so darkened by war and its aftermath. World concord and understanding .s a fundamental aim of the Junior Red Cross, this conforming with a joint resolution adopted at the conference of the Red Cross at Geneva, April 1, 1921. The object it the overseas program is to put heart into the dispirited children of Europe, to give them courage, to ouild up their faith in the future. It takes to thousands of impoverished and spiritless children the opportu-lit- y for health, play, education and lappiness otherwise denied them.

The suggestion that is frequently advanced for reducing the growing tax burdeh is to "shift the load" from one class of taxpayers to another. No relief would be thus secured. Relieving the farmer or the workman or the average citizen of tax payments and adding the amount to industries or those having large incomes would simply mean that the money to raise these tax payments would be shifted back to the individual through increased cost of everything he purchased thus shoving the cost of living up another notch. The program of taxing invested or accumulated capital to the point of confiscation will in a short time reduce this source of taxable wealth to the point where it can no longer pay the taxes required.
