What Others Think

UTHOUGH the birth of Christ is the event which
~ us supposed to be celebrated on Christmas we
and inclined as recent writer
suggests to celebrate Santa Claus Certainly in the
minds of most persons the giving and receiving of gifts
holds larger place than the which the day COM
memorates
Christmas customs and symbolism are drawn from
many sources, some of them of pagan origin. The
date December 25, approXimates that of certain
cient festivals which observed long before the
Christian era, such the Roman Saturnaa the Scan
dnavian Yule the winter festival of the Britons and
later, the Roman festival of the sun-god Mthra This
date not incorporated in the Christian calendar
until about the fourth fifth century.
The Christmas tree is believed to have been deriv-
ed from the Egyptian of palm branch of IL
shoots to signify the completed year, but its present
significance is thought to have originated in Germany
The of evergreen decorations particularly miste
toe, has been observed since the time of the pagan
Druids in Britain.
The sending of Christmas gifts may be traced
back to ancient Rome This custom is by no means
universal however, and is unknown in the Holy Land
and among Asiatc Christians generally. Children of
the Orient have no Santa Claus.-ex.
The request of Governor Olson for an appropria-
ton of S. 100000 for reEef and public works in the
state cannot be given unqualified approval in the rural
areas. At first thought, there is decided similarity
between state public works program and the present
federal program-but the taxpayer will note vast
difference before the state program has been long in
operation.
State taxes payable this year amount to some
thing over $14OO0,O00. A relief appropriation of S.,
100000 would be direct boost of IS per cent to state
taxes.
The federal governments program affects tax
payers too but somewhat differently For thing,
the federal government plans its financing long
er period of years. and for another federal taxes
not borne heavily by the average man as by the
wealthy The burden of federal taxes is not heavy for
the average individual whereas the state burden is.
Viewing the ma, ter from another angle, in the
state organization counties charged with the
of the poor. Southern Minnesota counties well
able to take care of their The cities and the
northern countless because their tax situation is al
ready acute, are less able to do Before embarkng
ON this extensive state relief program, the people
should question whether not they want the present
system changed to in which this part of the state
shall greater share of the tax burden Of the

TOW the Boy Scout movement was first brought

porator Of the movement in the United States
While visiting London about 80 years ago, Mr..
Boyce became confused in fog and lost his way.
Meeting boy on the street. he asked to be directed
to his hotel and the boy personally escorted him there
When Boyce offered him tip, it refused with
thanks the lad saying, 81 am Boy Scout"
This so aroused Boyce's interest that he inquired
about the organization and conferred with leaders of
the movement in London with the result that he de-
termined to promote similar organization in Ameri-
ca which he did, Thus five million American boys
have had the benefit of scout training largely as a
result of the good turn" of unknown Boy Scout.

SWEEPING CUTS IN RAIL
FARES NOW IN EFFECT

Giving promise of a great in
crease in travel, a general re-
duction in railroad fares, to-
gether with removal Of the
Pullman surcharge, become
effective December /, IN terri
tory west of the Mississippi
river BY elimination of the
surcharge, Pullman fares are
reduced one-third on western

the situation was summarized
as follows:
The standard one-way fare
has been cut from SO cents a
mile to three cents a mile.
One-way coach and tourist
sleeper fares to the east are
lower than ever before.
Roundtrip tickets between
this city and all eastern and
midwestern cities, with one year
limit, are cut materially in all
cases.
Local fares on Southern Pa
cifc's lines in six western states,
good in coaches and tourist
sleeping cars, were cut to two
cents a mile last July, and
thehe low fares will continue in
effect.

SAN CARLOS IRRIGATION
AND DRAINAGE DISTRICT

The first irrigation season
during which private lands in
the District must pay full oper-
alton and maintenance charges
is effective beginning January
1st, 1884. The irrigation sea-
sonal year will hereafter coin
eide with the calendar year.
Previous to this time main
tenance charges were converted
to the construction account in
accordance with the San Carlos
Act, which provides that main
tenance and operation charges
are payable one year after the
Public Notice, while the first
payment on construction ac-
count is due three years there
after. The Public Notice was
issued December 1st, 1882.
The Government, in its Main
tenance and Operation Notice,
fixed the NJ. & o. charge for the
1884 year at $500 per acre, al
lowing the District IS cents per
acre for its own operation. The
District is operating for 6Oc
per acre, thus affording a 25c
per acre saving to the landown-
er. The Districts basic assess
ment for the 1884 season has,
therefore, been fixed at S1.75
per acre, of which amount S1.15
must be paid by the District to
to the Government This basic
assessment is levied against
each acre in the District, re-
gardless of whether water is
used or not, and is included in
the regular county tax bill col
lected by the County Treasurer
The District taxes may be paid
separately from the other Co
or state taxes. No releases of
water can be made unless Dis
trict taxes are paid to the Co.
Tres. before final dates as fol-
lows: The first half, or 81 and
1-2 cents must be paid before
any water is released during the
irrigation year or after Dec. 81,
The Coolidge examiner., 1933-12-29

1888; the second half must be
paid not later than March 1st,
1884, which is the final date of
M & 0 payments to the Govern
ment, water service to be dis
continued after this date upon
failure to make payment.
Continuing the policy of col
lecting back assessments, the
1881 District tax must also be
paid if delinquent. However
the Board of Directors has de-
cided that where landowners
have elected TO pay all back
taxes in twenty installments
over ten-year period, as per-
mitted under a recent State Act
the outright or full payment of
the 1881 assessment would not
be required during the 1884 sea-
son. All payments under the
installment plan must be paid
before delinquency.
Payment of the basic assess
ment entities the landowner to
two acre feet of water if avail
able. Excess water over the
two acre feet, as stipulated in
the Governments M. & O. no.
tice, will cost soc per acre foot,
this charge to be collected at
the Districts Office.

PNEUMATIC RAIL TIRE MEETS
new TEST FOR SAFETY

Starting proof of the safety of
the Goodyear pneumatic rail
tire was demonstrated before
railway executives in Chicago
last week when one of the tires
was purposely blown out at a
speed of 20 miles per hour.
The demonstration was a part
of the first public showing of
the Fairbanks-Morse ''Railmo-
bile"---a rail car unit developed
through cooperation of engin-
eers of the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co., the Fairbanks
Morse Co. and the Chrysler
Corp. After 80 years of devel-
opment of the automobile and
truck chassis, the railmobile---
the automobile or truck on rails
presents excellent opportunity
for economies in railroad oper-
ations and equipment costs.
Previous attempts have met
with failure due to crystaliza-
tion of axle and wheel parts be-
cause of excessive vibration---a
problem solved by use of a
rigid axle mounted on pneuma-
tic rail tires.
A standard Chrysler sedan
and Dodge truck chassis with
bus body and trailer were on
exhibit. One of the tires of the
sedan was blown out by a shot
gun mounted on the running
board while travelling at high
speed with no appreciable effect
on operation of the unit other
than a slight bump as an alum
mum safety ring inside the
casing took up the load as the
tire was Debated.
The rail tire, expected to play
an important part on railway
rolling stock of future, is con-
structed in much the same man
ner as an automobile tire. In
addition to the aluminium safe
ty ring bolted to the rim inside
the tire, allowing the wheel to
drop but fve-eights of an inch
in event of defation, a steel
guiding fange to keep the tire
on the rail is provided. An es-
pecially designed tread allows
front tired to squeezse water
off the rails in wet weather so
that the driving and braking
wheels have a dry surface to
work on.

SILVER AND PROSPERITY

Proponents of monetization
of silvir are finding a steadily
increasing number of allies
among business men, econo-
mists, officials and the public
generally. This would be an
excellent time for an unbiased
survey of potential legislation
toward that end. The uncer-
tain monetary question is one
of the most perplexing prob
lens of the time, and its early
settlement is vital to recovery.

THOUGHTS OF JERUSALEM

As Christmas passes and the
old year gives way to the new,
thoughts of Jerusalem, the
Holy Land, appear in thousands
of minds and the sentiments
those thoughts express. are
echoed in thousands of hearts.
No place in the world, not even
those imagined places beyond
the atmosphere of the world we
know, has exerted so strong and
unfailing an influence on the
imaginations of mankind as has
the Cradle of Christianity.
In Jerusalem, practically un-
changed through nineteen hum
dred years, are the scenes that
Christ knew. The age-old hills
of Judea remain through time,
as do the green pastures and
still waters of Biblical signif-
cance. The Garden of Gethse-
name is there, and the cradle of
Jesus. The River Jordan, by
its name the mightiest of all
the rivers of the world, flows
on as ever, serenely to the sea.
And in quiet Palestine are the
streets and buildings that were
old before the Christian calen-
dar began. The Plain of Sharon
is still fruitful, and the rose of
which Solomon sang in the
most majestic of all poetry,
blooms profusely. And in Cana
of Galilee, scene Of the wedding
feast, and Nazareth, where the
carpenter who was to change
all the civilized world, grew to
manhood. Not an inch of earth
but is rich in history, and in the
lore of ages. Not a scene but
brings to mind some stirring
passage from the testaments.
No journey offers the travel
/ Ier so much in historical impor-
tance, in the pleasures of medi-
tation and study. 1t is a
strange fact that but one in two
hundred of the ministers who
preach the gospel in this coun-
try, have ever visited Palestine.
But one in thousands of their
congregations have set foot on
the ground that the prophets
trod.
Palestine is beside creed, be-
side denomination, it embraces
them all, and its history belongs
to all. Those who are so for
tunate as to 90 to it, once, twice
or a dozen times, are to be
envied.
