Ninter Girl To Be Ouizzed In Film Death
Petition To Congress
For A Soldiers Bonus
Petition to Congress for action on soldiers
bonus. Uith sales tax to pay it.

Petition to Congress for action on soldiers
bonus, Uith sales tax to pay it.
We respectfully petition Congress to pass the
soldiers bonus act without further delay and also
to levy a sales tax to obtain the money to pay the
bonus, for the following reasons,
First: Public opinion throughout the United
States is undenably in favor of the soldiers bonus,
shown by the decisive majority in every State in
which a popular referendum has been taken in
Maine by to I; New Jersey, 3l2 to l; New York,
nearly 2 to l; Rhode Island, to l; Wisconsin, to
Il Oregon, to /; Washington, 212 to l; and SO on.
Second: We believe that Congress if permitted
greater unanmity, regardless of party than the pop
ular majority by which the people in twenty-five
States have already approved it; we believe that
the soldiers bonus cannot and ought not to be de-
feated and that the longer it is postponed the greater
the injustice.
Third: We believe the new tax scheme pro-
posed by the Ways and Means Committee is only a
little less Objectionable than Secretary Melons pro-
posal for threecent postage and tor a new three
cents-a-gallon tax gasoline. Proponents of such
taxes oppose any soldiers bonus whatever and hope
by linking it with such new, destructive and unpop-
uar taxes to kill the proposition altogether.
Fourth: If the soldiers bonus is not only right
but inevitable, and if the United States is not to lag
behind England France, Italy, Canada and Aus
tralia which have already paid liberal soldiers
bonuses, then payment is already long overdue,
not a debt for debt to the soldiers never
be paid but just tribute to the valor and the
sacrifice of the men who won the war.
Fifth: The only question that remains is: By
what system of taxations shall the money be raised
Not by bond issues, because it is against the ira
dtiona policy of the United States to increase debt
in time of peace. Not by any irritating, unreason-
able, destructive tax individuals, business or
industry, because already have too many such
taxes. A small general sales tax will raise more
than enough pay the soldiers bonus; it will bear
heavily upon If the experience of Canada
and own Philippine Islands, where the sales tax
lis in operation, is repeated, the system will meet
with such favor that it will become of the ap-
proved methods of raising necessary revenue after
the soldiers bonus has been paid. \

Today
Two Birthdays Remem-

Best of Americans.

copyright. 1ssa)
Ask 100 Americans to name
. few birthdays of men worth
while. Ninety-fve will answer
February IL and February
g." They know no other
birthdays of famous Ameri-
cans, except July 4, when the
Declaration Of Independence
was born. (By the way, when
the Senate ratifies the agree
ment to let Japan and Eng
land manage the affairs Of this
country, it will cancel that
declaration.)
Why is it that among 100,-
0OO,OO Americans only two
national birthdays are remem-
bered? The two men, Wash
ington and Lincoln, are far
apart in character. Washing
ton was an aristocrat, standing
at receptions with his hands be-
hind his back-no shaking
hands with common people for
him. He rode in state with
four fancy horses, was one of
the richest men in America, be-
lieved in the rights of all men,
but by no means in their equal
ity. He was a fighter by pro-
fession, and magnificent
fighter.

fighter.
Lincoln, whose birthday is
celebrated today, was the SIM
plest of human beings. Any
good man was his equal. He
thought nothing of wealth.
His feelings were those of other
country Americans, brought up
with the village store as their
idea of cosmopolitan life, the
country courthouse. and the
legislature their conception of
grandeur's greatest height.
America honors these two
men, utterly different. because
they were THOROUGH. Wash
ington was a thorough fighting
aristocrat. fighting for the
right Of his part of England to
separate from the rest. Lincoln
was a thorough democrat,
fighting to prevent one part OF
this country separating from
the rest. They fought opposite
fights. Washington, on the
battlefield wearing the military
glory, Lincoln in council carry
Ing Az she worry and hate. no
glory, content. as he said. to
' hold the .stirrup for any man
that would mount and fight
efficiently.
Both won. that is the main
thing. Both were loyal, single
minded. sincere, and courageous,
to a degree unknown to the
common herd. There is a COM
mon herd, and very common,
although no one need include
himself in it.
Washington represented the
courage of the battlefield. the
rare fighting courage that
standsnup under repeated de-
feat ard treachery.
Lincoln's was the courage of
patience. long mental endurance.
He could wait, and if every
drop Of blood drawn by the
lash from the bodies of slaves
must be paid with blood drawn
by the bayonet. he could still
say, "The judgments of the
Lord are true and righteous
altogether"
You may read a mans whole
character in few words. Seward
said to Lincoln, in jest: "Mr.
President, I hear you turned out
for a colored woman on
muddy crossing the other day"
81 don't remember" an
swered Lincoln, "but I think
II very 1ikely, for have always
made it rule that IL people
won't turn out for me I will
for them. If I didn't there
would be a collision"
George Livermore, of Mas
sachusetts, an old abolitionist,
got the pen with which Lin
coin signed the emancipation
proclamation. The wooden pen
handle, such as school children
bought for penny, was
marked at the end by Lincoln's
teeth. He thought hard be-
fore he signed that proclama-
ton. In his mind the Presi-
dency was not HIS; he was
only a trustee.
'1f slavery 10 not wrong,
nothing 10 wrong. I cannot re.
member when I did not think

derstood that the Presidency

strietsd right to act officially

FINE PARENTS IF

CHARLOTTE AMELTE. st,
Thomas, W l., Sept. 20.-Tha
Virgin Islands have the nearest to
100 percent attendance in the pub
lie schools Of any state, territory
or possession of the United States,
according to comparative statis-
tics from Washington,
The school year which has lust
opened probably will show as high
a percentage of attendance as
last year. which was a fraction
less than 90 percent. 1t is not un.
usual for school to report 100
per cent attendance week after
week.
There is compulsory education
for all children from six to is
years OF age. When a child Is
absent from school without proper
excuse the parents are fined 20
cents for each day of absence, Pa.
rents are fined 10 cents for every
time a scholar Is tardy. When
sickness is reported as the, cause
of absence. school nurses lnvessI-
gate, and only on certificates from
these school nurses is the excus !
of illness recognized. Simple
treatment by the nurses frequent
" makes It possible for a child to
return TO the class room. i.
With ! this system OF fines
playing hockey" Is practically I'm
known In the Virgin Islands.
+ When the United States by pur.
chase acquired the Virgin Is
lands from Denmark in 1917, there
was already a we'll established
public school system, and It Is
estimated there was less than five
per cent 'lllteracy in the Island
The school system, however, then
extended only to the sixth grade.
Since the seventh and eighth
grades have been established gen.
orally and two junior high schools
have been opened. with tic jun.
Tor year being offered this year
for the first time. In another year
1t is planned to establish the
fourth and last year Of high school
study.
Children in the Virgin Islands
are anxious to learn. according to
School Director Nase. head Of the
insular system, and the collecting
Of fines for hardness and absence
does not yield more than $40 per
month. This year there are Is
school teachers from the United
States giving instructions In the
Island schools, while all OF the
other teachers are Virgin Island
ers.
