Strangling With Taxes
Co See Alaska
A 74Year- Old Heart
Iceland's Old Volcano

The Supreme court decides that
government has the power to tax a
thing out of existence. This de-
cision came with approval of a 10
cents-a-pound tax on oleomargarine.
The purpose Of that tax is to make
1t impossible to manufacture oleo-
margarine profitably. and thus com.
pei people to eat butter. whether
they can afford II or not.
Doubtless that is wise, in fact. 1t
must be wise, since the Supreme
court says so.
But some day. when we have, as
we shall have. one thousand million
people In the United States, and
lack room for so many cows, 1t may
be desirable to have a good substl-
tute for butter. and we may regret
today's hostile taxation.
See Alaska, and at the same time
see the whole United States. Go
through the Panama canal on a big
boat and see what men can do when
they use a nations power. Or trav-
Ell by rail, studying the cities of the
country, or take your car, which
goes everywhere and stops where
you choose, or fly. and see the world
from above.
See Alaska, a magnificent empire
far away In the northwest. See
what Seward bought for the United
States for s7,200.OOO. A purchase
that was called Stewards folly"

Editorial Comment

A new constitution is being forced
upon the people of Austria, and dicta-
torship takes seat more firmly in The
saddle. Under the new constitution the
president will rule with power similar
to a despotic monarch. The document
states that all power emanates from
God in contrast to the present one that
all power rests in the people. The
words republic and democracy do
not appear in the document. Apparent
ly democracy is dead. The people do
not have a constitutional right to elect
their own officials and elections are
called only on the wish of the govern
ment The government is given powers
of the strictest censorship over the
press, theater, radio and films. All uni
versities, teachers and colleges will be
under exclusive control of the federal
government.
And thus does democracy die in
Austria. In America we were either
shocked or amused-as the case may be
to read during the past week that
certain members of the brain trust
are biding their time to overthrow
President Roosevelt and set up COM
munistic government here Despotism
seems to be riding the world.
