He Made Us Laugh

Most of the word is mourning the
tragic death of VIII Rogers. Most OF
US feel that we have sustained a per-
sonal loss, and indeed we have. He
told the truth without rancor. His
barbs had no poisoned tips. His phi
losophy was SANE and full Of common
sense. He was at home in the pal
aces of kings, or In the shacks OF the
cowboys. He was natural, he didn't
put on" He made no false pre-
lenses. Wealth and adulatiOn did not
turn his head nor make him pulled
up. He was loyal in all his life rela-
lions. He could see the funny side OF
things, and had the rare gift OF SO
presenting 1t that his hearers could
see it, too. VIII Rogers made people
laugh. And when you laugh your dia-
phragm moves up and down on your
stomach and helps it to digest your
food. A hearty laugh is better thar
medicine. One OF the writers OF the
Holy Bible wrote thousands of years
ago, "a merry heart doeth good like
medicine" 1t is because 1t stirs UP
all the functions of the body and sets
them to eliminating poisens.
What a saving price Is a sense OF
humOr! When people laugh, they dc
not want to fight or do mean things.
Laughter awakens the most kindly
emotions. it disipates gloom and
makes for good fellowship and un.
derstanding
Will Rogers was welcomed every.
where he went, because he brought
sunshine and happiness. He made
people forget their woes. No one
likes a crouch and a crepe hanger
People instinctively avoid them. They
make one uncomfortable; they bring
depression and discomfort. How true
1t is that If you laugh the world
laughs with you; weep and you weeI
alone, for the sad old earth must Dor
row its mirth, 1t has troubles enough
OF its own.
VIII Rogers bore a grudge
O. 0. Mcintyre relates that on one
occasion when Rogers was reading
newspaper he looked UP and saw
his eyes full OF tears. He had JUS
read a very cruel and unjust criti
cism OF himself. He was hurt to the
quick, but he only put the paper
down and began talking about some
thing else.
We a all profit by the example
Of Will Rogers. He did not criticise
and speak evil of people when they
said cruel and unwarranted things
about him; neither did he dwell on II
nor permit 1t to rankle in his heart
nor sour his disposition Only small
natures do that. God pity the cynic
He is too busy finding fault and pick
ing flaws to join In the fun and the
laughter that this old world so sadly
needs.
VIII Rogers gave Of his time and
talents and money freely to bring
help and cheer to those that needed
1t. Though his crushed body lies in
receiving vault, his soul goes march
ing on. He will always be remember
ed as the kindly philosopher who
made people laugh.

Philosopher First Must

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, May ed Howe, who
foreswore literature for leisure two
years ago and repented, observed his
s2d birth anniversary today by chafing
at enforced abstinence from his pen.
He will go to Baltimore within the
next three weeks for removal OF cata-
racts from both eyes. and the famed
Sage of Potato Hill" hopes to be
writing again as soon as his eyes are
pronounced fit.
Howe, in suspending his personal
journal of Indigestion and 1nforma-
tion" in 1888, said:
Il never have had leisure and now
I want it,"
But life without letters palled, and
it was only short time before ne was
writing again. Now he admits:
I'D rather work than do nothing.
I've contracted the habit of work 50
thoroughly that I'm not happy unless
I'm busy. Besides I've job waiting

FOES PROPAGANDA
| HIT BY STE|WER
Sound Leadership viii Re-
vive G. O. P, Says
Oregon Senator.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIdbeu rIcoo'
NEW YORK, May 3.-Conceding
what he said we're numerous political
errors of the Republican party, and
the ineptitude with which it met some
of the problems of the last decade, y
United States Senator Frederick Stei-
wer of Oregon last night asserted
that only a sound party leadership
was needed to make the Republican
party of today the agency Of rescue
for the Nation.
Senator Steiwer spoke with former
Gov. Henry ]. Allen of Kansas and
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of New Jer-
sey in arraigning the New Deal at a
forum meeting sponsored by the New
York County Republican Committee.
The party lost in public esteem y
Steiwer said, because of hard times
and because it was regarded as being
too close to big business. 1t can no
longer be credited with that dubious
distinction. The defeats it met in
1882 and 1884 have proved a blessing
In disguise.
Affections Transferred.
Business looking for political fa-
vors has transferred its affections
from the Republican party to the
Democratic party.
The list of New Deal advisers in
various lines of business, including
those officially connected with the
Government and those who operate
mof1cially, reads like who's who of
Wall street"
Assailing what he called the extent
of New Deal ropagandizing," Stei-
Wer asserted that in the year from
September l, 1888. to September l,
1884, Democratic administrative off,
Gals and members of Congress made
about 1000 speeches over one broad
casting system.
This propaganda" he declared, had
disguised the fact that I'VE have not
received as much recovery as we have
paid for
Cites English System.
Allen, comparing what he termed
the basic elements of recovery in
England with what has been accom-
plished in the United States, at
tributed three principal factors to
British recovery-balancing of the
budget, its protection by tariffs and
its housing program, which actually
builds houses"
Gov Hoffman, saying that it is
"frmly fixed in the mind of the
President that in order to bring back
prosperity we must have higher
prices observed:
Apparently this idea was based
upon some historical research show
ing that at every time we had pros
perity we had higher prices. This
as one of my Philadelphia friends
points out. Is the thinking of a 10
year-old child who notices that every
time the room gets warm the ther-
mometer goes up, and therefore con-
ceives the idea of holding a match
under the thermometer to heat up
the room"

Swedish Clock Perpetual.

Oreboro. Sweden. boasts that clock
at the outskirts of the town has been
keeping correct time for over l8 years
without being rewound, and appears
to be good for many more. 1t is actu-
ated by changes in air pressure and
so constructed that even if there is no
change in air pressure for IL months
1t will still keep going. The inventor
declares that only the wearing out of
the parts can stop his timepiece.

and "any other field where there is
opportunity of escaping just tax"
1.-THE propriety Of any tax must be
considered by its necessity" the COM
mittee declared as its first premise.
It said it did not believe there should
be any proposals for tax boosts
merely because the suggested taxes
could be borne by the taxpayers or
because the Government could spend
the money If 1t had It,"
Maintenance Soa>s.
With the exception Of temporary
drop during the period Of economy
salary cuts, the costs Of maintenance
and operation show a somewhat
steadily rising curve, the committee
said. From s17.378.359 in 1920, these
costs rose to s35, ,641, SIT in 1886. or a
climb of s18,263.258 in 16 years.
Including such items as interest
sinking fund in the 1920 budget, this
increase is raised to some $21, 900 900.
About $18,000,0G0 Of this gross in
crease, the committee said, was for
schools, welfare. police, fire, general
expenses and water.
ANY attempt to decrease mainte-
nance and operating costs, to any
considerable figure, therefore, would
have to come from cuts in costs Of
schools, welfare, police and FIRE ap-
preparations, the committee said.
Salaries is the greatest item IN
school maintenance costs. ITO fix
that cost at its present level. or to
attempt to decrease it, means no ad-
ditional schools and no additional
teachers, or newer schools and fewer
teachers" the committee CRITICALLY
said. School popuation has increased
by so per cent in the past Is years,
the committee added.
Relief Big Factor.
The rise in maintenance costs Of
public welfare, 1t said, are due in
part to a new concept" Of the gov
ernmental responsibility towards the
less fortunate persons needing sus-
tenance or disqualification. Emerg-
ency relief costs may decrease but no
one can tell what the permanent re-
lief problem will be, it continued.
Increased personnel and supplies
for the police and fire departments are
absolute necessities" for a city BE-
coming more thickly populated, the
report declared.
To provide basis for figuring how
much may have to be spent for capi-
tai improvements during the next 10
years, the committee first traced the
history since 1920, showing that tie
total amounted to $l40, ,430, 900. This
showed an average of some $4,000, 900
for the whole period and $9,700. 900 in
the last 10 years, as opposed to the
present provision Of but $500. 900.
The total program proposed for the
future, which the committee said 'it
seems must be considered in any esti-
mates of probable serious require
ments" during the next 10 years, would
cost some $S5,0o0,O00. From a long
list of specified items it listed the
following:
General, $1,000,000: repayment of
P. w. A. advances, $4,000, 900; streets
and bridges, $17,000,000; sewers, ST.
100000; schools, $4,000, 900; fire de-
partment. $1,000. 900; welfare. $3,oo0.-
900; water department. $500, 900;
libraries, $750.00o; refuse department,
$500, GOO; Fairgrounds, $250,000: elec-
trical department, 100000; police,
$3.50. 900: small courts buildings, So

land, $500 900; and remainder of lia-

ent situation cannot continue If needs
of the Capital are to be met, the COM
mittee cited the 20 per cent increase
in population that occurred from 1920
to the present and a partial list of
improvements costing nearly $75,000,-
900 which it said must be consid-
cred" in a program of capital outlay
for the next 10 years.
This would suggest an average Of
at least $7,500,000 a year for the
next decade. If allowance we're made
for other liabilities" in capital out
lay not included in the "barest neces-
sity" list, the committee said the figure
would rise to an average of $8,500, 900
year. The committee further CEN
tered attention on many other prof.
ectS" not included in the committee S
list which they explained had been
urged by citizens associations and
other civic organizations.
Figures Point to Sum.
Since the present provision for cap
ital improvements Is but $500, 900,
the committees statement was taken
to mean that at least $4,000, 900 more
annually is needed as an average for
10 years for capital improvements,
plus 81 900, 900 boost in maintenance
and operating costs. Including more
permanent improvements to raise the
total average outlay to $8,500,000. the
suggested increase in annual revenues
would be boosted by $4,000,000.
Furthermore, there was a suggestion
in the committee statement that the
capital improvements costs would rise
more If provision were made for the
municipal center and other projects
which have been seriously urged"
The committee was directed by the
Commissioners last August to consider
inheritance and income taxes, an in
crease in the 2-cent gasoline tax, q
weight tax on automobiles and an
increase in taxation on utilities.
The committee was told also to
consider possibilities Of securing rev.
enue from motion picture theaters,
chain stores. public entertainments

HEARING ON TAXES
Oppose Increased Levies
and Seek Bigger Federal
Payment.

Civic and business leaders last night
Endorsed the recommendations of the
Districts Special Tax Committee that
the public be given ample opportunity
to express its views on any tax in
crease program.
The expressions followed submission
TO the Commissioners yesterday of the
committees partial report, outlining
the trends of rising maintenance and
operating costs of the municipal gov
ernment and the present low level Of
funds available for such major i'm
provements as schools, libraries and
hospitals, and indicating the need of
increased revenues.
Thomas E. Lodge, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
made the first move by calling meet
Evening star., 1935-12-01

at its regular meeting Saturday.
Personally, Lodge said he is opposed
to any new or increased taxes until
the Federal Government puts its an
nual payment toward the expenses of
the District on a fair and equitable
basis, and reforms are made in the
present method of assessments and
taxation.
II don't see any need at this time
for increased taxes" said Lodge. 81
do believe the Federal payment toward
the expenses of the District should be
raised above the present $4,000
Lodge pointed out that members of
the Executive Committee planned to
confer with various District officials
before the meeting, and that their re-
port to the federation would be de-
signed to give clear and complete
picture of the financial condition of
the municipal government.
L. A. Carruthers, chairman of the
Federal Relations Committee of the
federation, who is expected to direct

penSeS OF the District.
George E. Sullivan, another leader
in federation activities agreed with
the tax committee that the views Of
the public should be learned before
any new tax program is adopted.
I'VE have no representation in
Congress-" he declared, ''and the least
the Commissioners can do is to give
the citizens hearing"
Harry N. Stull, first vice president
of the federation, said he had no "well
defined" ideas about the proposed tax
program, but he planned to give it
serious study.
AS former chairman of the fedora
tions Education Committee, Stull
pointed out that additional school
facilities are urgently needed in the
northeast section, and thought should
be given that question in connection
with any program designed to increase
taxes for municipal Improvements.

LATIN AMERICAN
MISSION LIKELY
U. S. Delegation May Drive
Next Wedge Based on
Houston Sentiment.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 30.-An
economic mission to Latin America
may drive the next wedge for United
States exporters who seek to recapture
the markets lost since 1929.
Delegates at the recent convention
Of the National Foreign Trade Council
at Houston, Tex, received favorably
a suggestion made by President Eu-
gene P. Thomas that such a mission
be sent within few months. Al
though the convention made no de-
cision it is understood the prospects
are encouraging.
The United States in recent months
has increased its shipments to Latin
America, and the negotiation of recip-
rocal trade pacts with Cuba, Brazil
and Columbia has set a precedent for
further expansion. In the first eight
months of 1885. this Nation sent
$247, 100000 worth of goods to her
Southern neighbors, a gain Of $780,
100000 over 1894.

Public Desires Cited.
In most Of these items, with the
exception of the fixed commitments
for the p. w. A. and Capper- -Cramton
provisions, the question Of whether the
projects should be undertaken depends
on whether the public wants them.
In addition to the above list, the
committee referred to $4,000, 900
more in items. all seriously urged, I"
for which the Districts liability must
be considered. These included water
front development, airport costing ST.
$50. 600; Anacostia flats project. Fort
drive, estimated at S7,000,000; Watts
Run project, an armory and stadium,
estimated to cost $2,00o,OO0; an East
Capitol Street Bridge, new Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Bridge, Rock Greek Park
bridges. proposed municipal garages
for automobile parking, proposed sub
ways, the Municipal Center and elm
ination of pollution from Rock Greek.
The committee considered 1t was
"only fair to indicate" that on the
present basis Of things tax collections
could not be expected to exceed $37,-
900, 900 by 1910. This calculation gave
no consideration to the Federal pay
ment.

PROPAGANDA IN FILMS
SCORED BY OHIOAN
Seven War Items to One for Peace
Seen on Screen in 1888,
SAYS DR.. Dale.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 3o.-Dr
Edgar Dale of Ohio State University
charged today propaganda was creep
ing into motion pictures.
I'VE may expect" DR.. Dale said in
an address prepared for delivery be-
fore the National Council of Teachers
Of English, ito see more use of the
news reels in political campaigns with
consequent fakery."
Alleging that war propaganda tound
its way to the screen, DR.. Dale said:
I'm 1892 there were II shots
dealing with war as compared with
one dealing with peace in two diff
ferent news reels. In 1888 the pro-
portion was seven war items to one
peace item"
DR.. Dale discussed the teaching of
motion picture appreciation and said
the fight to make it widely accepted
as a regular part of school instruc-
ton had been won.
