INHERITANCE TAX

A heavy inheritance tax should be paid by those who inherit great sums A person living on the wealth of oth, CTS is not as progressive as the av. craze American. He has money to squander so there is no use of his working.
 The American race wants to be progressive. People who honestly forge ahead to success make prog resslve race. The Americans will be progressive if they work and do not try to live on the wealth of someone else.
 An inherited sum to start one in business or to procure one an educa- tlon is all right It aids progressive ness. Too much should not be inherit ed for as Golfers Weekly says, Born wealth stops the progress by which earned wealth is made;;" also, We like to see men win but we hate to see them block traffic." This is great truth and only an inheritance tax can make rich peoples offspring as progressive as their less fortunate brothers

iNHE ERITANCE TAX

The inheritance tax is tax many people are trying to make Federal. Some states have their own limit of money which a person can inherit without paying tax to the state. It should be a Federal law as it is an injury to young man or woman to get large sum of money placed in to his or her hands without having to work for it. A person will not try to make anything of himself when he al- ready has large sum of money which he got without effort and will have good time with it. Many of the rich men Of today believe in this tax and will not give too large a sum to their own children. They believe in enough to give them a good start but not en- ough to make them lazy Let us work for Federal inheritance tax.

FLYING TO THE NORTH POLE

The imagination is gripped by the plans of the navy department, approv' ed bv President Coolidge for dash in the north pole next summer in the dirigible airship Shenandoah. The practicability of the enterprise-or rather the advisability of undertaking it. however, h ascreated something Of q controversy. It is noteworthy that the navy department is eager for the adventure.
 An attempt to reach the pole with 2 lighter-th than-air craft and to achieve in a few days what it took Rear Ad- miral Robert E. Peary many many weary months to do shows how eX- ploration methods have changed in the past fifteen years.
 The plan is to bring the Shenando- ah to the Pacific coast through the southern states in order to avoid the high attitudes that would have to be attained by a flight over the north ern Rockies and to use Nome and Pt. Barrow, in Alaska, as a flight base. In addition the navy would have ships stationed at other points in the lar North and would hold in reserve on the Atlantic the giant diriglble ZR-5, which is being built in Germany for ally. the Shenandoah is much more stronger and much better ship than any other ever built for the United craft will be even stronger and better adapted to heavy sailing.
 That new conditions would be facef in the Arctics is conceded. A mem Der of the Stefansson expedition, who, unlike Stefansson, opposes the naval project. points out that from the tune ii took flight in Alaska until 1t re turned the Shenandoah would be ln constant peril He recalls that at one time the wind velocity in the fal North attained ninety-four miles ar hour and that within an hour the gale ragged from four directions. He says that Zeppcl:ns during the war had dlt- ficultv in negOtiating the North sea regions becauee heavy cCatings ot ice accumulated or their eXteri0rs-and that if Zeppelin could not carry an extra coat of paint. it could not navi- gate when begged down by sheath of ice. He says the lives of the crew and $2000,000 ship, with S250,O0O worth of helium gas in it. would be in umceasing danger and suggests that the proposed voyage be postpon- ed until the new ZR-3 is completed and turned over to our government.
 That these perils exist may be con- ceded But the navy apparently be- iieves they can be surmOunted and is willing, for it part, to make the under taking. Spurred by the spirit of ad- venture, which has carried explorers into the unknown for centuries it wants to make the attempt, confident that precautions can be taken that will greatly reduce what the Stefans- son explorer says is a seven to one chance that the Shenandoah will be lost. The unexplored region is esti- mated at 100000 square miles, and to be the first to chart this vast ex- panse would be a feather in the na- vys cap.
 Whether the probable achievements are worth the risk, however, may be debatable If it is true that the navy has only one chance in seven of win ming, the project should be abandon ed, for the time being at least. Tn any event, no precaution should be O. mitted that might spell the difference between success and disaster
Seward daily gateway., 1924-01-14

Usually these men have different view points on the questions brought to them. Many times the vote on question is five to four. Perhaps if some other man were in the place of one of the members of the Supreme Court the question would be decided just the opposite. A five to four vote may be majority; but it cannot be said to be true interpretation of the law. It should be required that a six to three vote be necessary to de eide question put before the Sup rene Court. This would be a real ma jority and in most cases would be the true exposition of the law.

REFERENDUM ON WAR

Millions of lives could have been saved if the people of the world had the vote on the declaration of war No sane nation would vote to destroy lives and waste millions of dollars. It is the people and not their kings or representatives who go to war so the vote should be in the hands of the people. If we want the nations of the world to grow and prosper we must stop war. The first and last way is to refer the declaration of war to the people.
