Sell the People on Democracy

Because fewer than half the eligible voters in the United States went to the polls in the nationa election November 2, Rep. Klein, New York, Democrat, is talking of introducing: a bill in Congress which will give a $30 income tax deduction to every taxpayer who casts his vote in future elections. ' At first look this seems like a good idea certainly to the '.middle-bracket taxpayer to whom that $30 would be a considerable sum. But there are many objections to be considered. It wouldn't mean anything to the many citizens who don't have any. income tax to pay.

-.Moreover, there's serious question as to whether the processes of democracy would be greatly improved if the increased vote comes from people who are such poor citizens tliat they have to be either bribed or bludgeoned into going to-the polls. ' I "Get Out the Vote" campaigns have been spreading throughout the nation for many years. Both political parties have laid great stress on arousing the voters, newspapers and radio1 stations hammer away at the theme. Civic organizations, service clubs, veterans groups have conducted vigorous non-partisan campaigns. - In the past election labor organizations were particularly" active in that field and the results certainly were evident. - These programs have been along educational lines of convincing the citizens that it not only is their duty to vote, but that they have a direct and personal interest in doing so. i This training of the citizen into his responsibilities howing him how democracy can work only If everyone participates, seems to us a method far superior than using any form of monetary inducement or coercion. In recent years various governmental agencies have been making a great deal of use of the same promotion methods-used by private enterprise The Army, Air Forces and .Navy use newspaper, and radio advertising to sell the advantages of enlistment. The War Assets Administration uses these methods to sell surplus war goods. Under Rep. Klein's tax-deduction plan, if 70,000,000 turned out, it would cost $2,100,000,000. V If 10 per cent of that sum maybe even less were to be. devoted to a scientific educational and promotional program aimed at selling the citizens upon taking their part in

ueinocracy oy voting, we believe the response would be enormous. ". And those would be enlisrhtened rit.i

cause they were convinced in their minds of the importance j

oi uoing so not oecause ot a monetary advantage. ... That sort of program, we believe, 'could be a real asset to" good goVEHTmtht. Properly done such

make the average voter wake up on Election Dav feelin"- that wild horses couldn't keep him away from the polls where he c ould say his say as to his own government.

Yes Sir, Insomnia's Contagious!

When Bud Swansnn had trouble sleeping' nights, and tried to get over it by turning up the radio full blast, he started an epidemic of insomnia. all down the block! Folks finally dropped a hint to Bud that he close the windows or turn the "radio a little lower. Bud did and that was the quickest cure for other folks' insomnia I've ever heard of! : ' Not that any of us object to the radio, or swing bands, or anything else that helps another person relax of an evening; (Myself, I like

a glass of beer with a bit of cheesa before I go to bed. I can't speak for you.) From where I sit, good neighborliness means nothing more than simply respecting the other person's tastes and rights without forcing your own tastes or opinions down his throat. And that goes for Bud's radio, my glass of beer, or whatever temperate pleasure you happen to enjoy.
