Concerning 213
Taxpayers

TITO you understand just what this 40 per
IL cent surtax is that Secretary Mellon is so
anxious to have cut in two7 Probably you do,
but there is no harm in taking a fresh look
at it.
The 40 per cent surtax is assessed against
incomes in excess Of 100000 year. That is
to say any man, like Mr. Mellon, for instance
whose wages or other earnings or profits ex-
ceed half million dollars each year, pays this
40 per cent surtax. But he doesn't pay it on
the $500,000; he pays it on all Of his income
above that figure. That is to say If he earns
$4,000 year, he pays that surtax on $780,,
900 Of it, If he earns 100000 year, he
pays it on 100000 and SO on.
When this fact is kept in mind, the DO
h1r cent surtax doesn't seem 80 serious, does
ic? You probably would be willing to pay 1t
yourself on all you earned above. half mill
lion year,
AS matter Of record only 21s persons In
the United States are so fortunate as to be able
to pay the 40 per cent tax, The reason offered
for urging that 1t be cut In two Is that 1t
would stimulate business, In other words 1t
would stimulate these 219 citizens to even
further efforts in the way Of making money.
And that, those of the Mellon school argue,
would increase the prosperity Of all Of us.
Maybe SO. Think it ever some more. The
bill isn't through Congress yet and won t be
for several months.

COM M ERCIAL
LANDING FIELD

EXy ANDERBILT A4RPORTS. a
~ commercial aviation enter
IL prise headed by Cornelius
vanderbilt Jr., will establish a
landing field in indianapolis. it is
reported. This city is selected for
one of a chain of such airports
planned between Detroit and At
lanta, Ga, by this company.
That's gratifying. There has
been some talk for months by To-
cal interests of an airport in In.
dianapolis. But nothing has been
done.
Indianapolis has a premonition
that it will in the near future be a
center for commercial air lines
radiating to other important cities.
1t has the logic Of topography to
give substances to the dream.
However, though the day of
commercial fying-planes carrying
mail, express, freight, and passen-
gers on regular schedules-is al
most here. indianapolis is making
no special effort to put itself on
the air map.
Detroit is rapidly becoming the
commercial aviation center of the
Nation. Not only because of the
Ford activities in the flying field,
but because Detroit business men
are alive to the possibilities of the
air industry. They are going out
after it just as they went after
the automobile industry and Sc
cured it for Detroit in the early
experimental days OF the bust
ness.
1t will take something more
than premonition and the logic
of location to make Indianapolis
a commercial flying center. 1t will
have to take active steps to pro.
vide landing fields, attract lines
and promote aerial development in
stead Of merely accepting such as
voluntarily appear.

BRING ON
THE TURKEY

MOTHER Thanksgiving Day
q hits us square on the palate.
And Indianapolis unbuttons
it's vest, pins back its ears and
expresses it's gratitude for bless
ings received and blessings hoped
for with it's teeth in the customary
manner.
1t is almost ninety years since
Thanksgiving was first officially
recognizedAin Indiana as a holiday.
On Nov. 4. 1889, Governor David
Wallace issued a proclamation
designating Nov. % for such OBJ
servance. He stated that he did
so at the request of religious or
carnations.
Hoosierdom has travelled far and
seen much since then. It has more
to be thankful for-evou though a
Hoosier must now float a bond
issue to get a turkey instead of
knocking the Thanksgiving dinner
out of a tree with a rifle as was
the pioneer practice. Hoosierdom
today has wealth, material pros
perity and comforts undreamed
ninety years ago.
But our manner of celebrating
THANKSGIVING has not changed

forefathers.
Perhaps pious dyspeptic pessim-
lists bemoan the fact that the day
originally set aside by the Pill
grims for giving thanks for relief
from famine and deliverance from
peIils has apparently degener2ted
into a gastronomic spree. Let them
take "a sip of water and another

The way to a mans soul is
through his stomach. JOY, happi-
ness and gratitude have always
found expression in public feasts.
So the spirit of the first Thanks
giving is here today though OBJ

our gastric juices may be wan,

today we eat-it is Thanksgiving.

Thanksg giving
BY N. D. Cochran

EV7 HILE we trace our Thanksgiving celebra-
wv ton back to the Puritans, who thanked
God, then Toasted, because of bountiful crops
victories over the Indians or something else
that made them feel good, practically the
thing could be traced back to classical
days when the Greeks and Romans honored
their pagan gods of grain with feasts and
merry making.
This American holiday of prayerful
thanksgiving and feasting which had it's start
in New England gradually spread until it be-
came national holiday, officially designated
by presidents and governors; and we still go
to church for prayer in the morning, thence
home for feasting and after that such enjoy
ment as we please.
But whether crops are bountiful or not
always we can find something for which we
may be thankful, either as individuals or as a
people; and we find it possible to be both re-
ligious and happy.
Measured in material wealth and comfort
the American people can easily find much for
which to give thanks this year. We have more
gold than any other nation We have more
railroad mileage, more mllionaires, taller
skyscrapers, greater national wealth. less I'M
employment and poverty, more prosperity and
bigger big business than any other country on
earth.
But somehow or other, to get down on our
knees and thank God for being better off ma
terially than any other people seems like
Dragging.
Of course, we wouldn't go to church on
Thanksgiving morning and devoutly thank
God because the people of other nations have
to pay higher taxes than we do, or because
they have more unemployment, more poverty
and greater burdens to bear, or because they
owe us money. That would Seem selfish
But if we re all Gods children-all the
people everywhere earth--we won't find
much grace in the judgment Of God for send
ing up thanks because we get the best of it
in the distribution of material blessings
We know where we stand materially. So
does the whole world But where do we stand
spiritually?
How we going to use our superior
strength and power? For the benefit of hui
mainly or to get more strength and power2
It's all right to thank God if you do it in
diligently. A prayer of thanksgiving for
wealth, prosperity, strength and power would
probably be more impressive if accompanied by
fervent prayer for the wisdom to use these
things for the good of humanity and the glory
of God.
If we actually believe in the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man we would be
happier with our wealth, prosperity, strength
and power if we knew how to use them so that
the rest of mankind would thank God that we
have them.
God will like the prayer better and He
won't mind the feasting, when the thanks
giving prayer that goes up from the earth is
universal.

Calls OF Lectures
Thinking it possible that the State
Department had changed its mind
relative to her lectures, which she
had-intended to repeat, the Countess
called these off, and again applied
for the visa-this time for the pur-
pose Of paying a purely social visit
to America The ban, however was
not lifted. Secretary Kellogg would
not let her in.
What kind Of people, ordinarily,
can be barred from this country? In
the immigration law there is a sec.
tion-now under fire and which
probably will be repealed, or altered.
during the coming session OF Con-
gress-that makes it possible for the
Secretary of State TO play st. Peter
at-theGate TO any foreigner who
asks to be let in.
What Law Says
But even this law specifies the
categories OF aliens who are TO be
barred. 1t is designed to stop, as
the law itself phrases it:
ALIENS who advise, advocate. or
teach the overthrow by force or vic.
lence of the Government OF the
United states or Of all forms Of law,
or the duty or propriety of assault
ing or killing officers Of the Govern.
ment of the United States, or of
any other organized government, or
the unlawful destruction Of prop
erty, or sabotage; or aliens who
write, publish, or cause to be writ
ten or published, or who are mem
hers Of or affiliated with any organ
ization or group that advocates or
teaches opposition to all organized
government"
But Countess Karolyi belongs TO
none Of these categories Then why
was she barred? To please Admiral y
Horthy, regent OF the Hungarian
monarchy and enemy of the repub-
lican Karolyis? Was Secretary KEEL
logg afraid she might overthrow
the United State Government by ex-
pressing her Lincolnesque ideas on
democracy?
On this Kellogg is silent, but Con
gress may smoke him out. Mean
time, Countess Karolyi herself has

not let her deliver.

MRS. MARTHA BROWN
HOWDER DIES SATURDAY

The death of this estimable woman
occurred at her home on West Cyp-
ress Street Saturday, April 18th, 1925.
Her physical condition had been such
for several weeks that the end was
not unexr ected, and during this time
she received from her family and kind
friends every possible attention that
loving hearts and friends could give.
Mrs. Howder was born in Iowa on
July 18th, 1850, her maiden name be

er, Mr.. Brown having passed away in
1894 1t was shortly after this that
Mrs. Brown came to Fitzgerald with
her family, the colony being new and
Alvin G. Brown, though very young,
assumed the burden of responsibility.
She became identified iwth the First
Methodist Episcopal church here and
was a faithful and active member, and
she was characterized by sunny,
helpful nature that frightened her own
and other lives.
On February Is, 1901, Mrs. Brown
was united in marriage with Mr.. J. w.
Howder, whose daughter was the wife
of her son Bert Sometime later both
couples removed to Zion City, ILL.,,
where Mr.. Bert Brown still resides
with his family.
Mr.. Edwin L. Brown and family al
so reside in Zion City and the daugh- !

None of these three could attend the
funeral services here but had enjoy
ed family reunion with their moth

the bereaved husband Mr. J. w. How
der, attended by his son Capt. J. w.
Howder of Fort Benning and his wife
were the survivors present to pay the
last tribute and mingle their mutual
sorrow.
The funeral services were held Sun
