OPPOSES
CHANGE IN LAWS

ANY attempted legislation to alter
the present militia laws TO permit
aliens OF non-citizens becoming mem
bers Of the National Guard win be Wig.
orously opposed by Standardized Man.
uel G. Pacheco Pacheco says be
tInreserycdly fayors and approves OF
the stand taken by the star-E bulletin
In an editorial published Monday.
In view OF the fact that Federal
Judge II. W. Vaughan has held IN q
recent decision that FIlipinos are not
eligible for American citizenship, there
has been some talk OF an amendment
IN the next legislature Of the local
militia avs permitting persons not
citizens 10 Join the National Guard. A
dafge number Of Filipinos. not citizens,
belong 10 the local militia.
There are several ways In which
the Fili9inos might be permitted to
remain IN the Guard in spite OF the
yaughaa decision says Pacheco.
One would be changing Of the fed.
eral naturalization laws, and another
wonld 5e change Of the local militia
laws to permit aliens or non-citizens
70 join the guard. A third way would
be the setting aside OF the Vaughan
decision ny q higher court.
No doubt the easier way would be

Christmas Buying.

One man said the other day that
his family did not know what to do
about Christmas shopping this year,
says the Cedar Rapids Republican
Why not? Conservation that the gov
erament has been urging has placed
no ban on Christmas buying. The
object of the government in it's
preachings has been not to save mo-
1ey, but to save certain products,
such as flour made from wheat and
pork and other meats. So far as the
money is concerned, it is not con-
served when you keep it in your poe
ket, but that is exactly where the
government does not want the mo-
ney Of the country to be kept The
government, on the contrary, wants
all the money kept in circulation. 1t
wants the business of the country
carried on as it was normally car
ried on-eXcept in few lines-aId
it wants that done so that there may
be the usual prosperity and out of
their prosperity the people can give
surplus to the government for its
various purposes from bonds to Red
Cross.
SO, if you want to serve the gov
eminent do not be afraid to do
Christmas buying, including toys for
the children for the little folks ought
not to be put out of sorts, nor their
education be neglected simply be-
cause we have a job on our hands in
Europe Keep things going as nearly
normal as possible. That is the prop
this Christmas season.
