Driver's Seat
The United States seems to be heading into a new era.
With the sweeping Republican victory which placed the party in control of both houses of Congress for the first time since 1930, the planned economy of New Dealism, the government controls and regulations seem headed for the scrap heap.
According to Carroll Reece, Republican-national chairman, the party's legislative control will mean a return to a free economy, a balanced budget, lower taxes, revision of labor laws, and reduction in the number of federal agencies.
The Republicans come into power in an instable period. With the country still confused by re-conversion, inflationary and deflationary trends, and the uncertain international situation, they are placed in the somewhat uncomfortable position of being responsible for the outcome.
And now, for a change, the Democrats may have the chance to scream at the Republican legislation.
It's all part of the democratic process of government. In 1930 and 1932 the people voted the Republican party out of power. The people listened to the arguments of both parties during those years and voted in the New Deal and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1946 the people listened to the arguments again and, voting the exponents of free enterprise into office, concluded the control of the Democratic party over national legislation and proved again that we have a two-party system of government.
An era that lasted 14 years is ending. As has occurred many times in our history, once more the outs are in and the ins are out.
And, as always before, the bestowal of legislative power by the people carries with it the responsibility for sound government.
Once more, the back-seat driver is in the driver's seat. He will need a steady hand on the wheel and a clear eye on the road ahead.
Twenty-five years ago—Photographs of the model of the statue of James Wood Green were submitted to the University by Daniel Chester French, the sculptor. Students who knew "Uncle Jimmy" and other interested persons were asked to submit criticism and suggestions. (From the Daily Kansan files.)

Labor Government Is Popular—Wellock
"If England should hold an election tomorrow, I do not believe the Labor government would go out of power." Wilfred Wellock. English author and former member of Parliament, told students at a lecture Wednesday in Frank Strong auditorium.
In his speech on the "British Labor Party," Mr. Wellock outlined the party's aims and the methods used to accomplish these goals.
Achieving a better balance of wealth in the community was the primary aim of the labor government, he said. Taxation was regulated so that the working classes found their taxes reduced. Insurance measures, such as family allowances, old age pensions, unemployment insurance, and sickness and health insurance, were steps toward the goal and account for much of the government's popularity, he explained.
The second aim was to free the peoples of the British empire against Conservative party opposition. India was freed but progress in the colonies will be slower, Mr. Wellock said.
