TAN COOPERATION

THE pink slips filed with the income tax
i returns are destined for the Internal
Revenue Bureaus wastebaskets. But out OF
this fight should come at least one needed
reform-co-operation between the taxing
agencies Of the Federal and state and local
governments.
Federal income tax returns contain in
formation not otherwise available to state and
local tax assessors and collectors. The Costiean
amendment to the pink slip repeal bill would
open those returns to examination by accred-
tied state and local tax representatives.
This is an obviously stateSmanlike pro-
vision. Yet Senate leaders accepted it with
reluctance and do not seem inclined to fight
for it in conference with the House.
With the Federal government lending and
giving away billions OF dollars to state and
local governments whose treasures are empty
any effort calculated to help those subordinate
units to increase their own revenues would
seem advisable. If for no other reason, the
Federal government should be moved by a
selfish interest in collecting loans and cut
ting down grants to local units. Citizens who
are hiding incomes and Intangible properties
from local and state assessors are not entitled
TO Federal protection.
The Costigan amendment provides an OPP
portunity to translate into action some Of
the talk about the need of better tax CO.
operation and more Uniform taxing systems.

I don't suppose you will want to
publish this open criticism of your
paper, but I'll take a chance.
noticed on the front page OF
Wednesdays Times you gave an &C
count of a local attorney having
beaten up his ex-sweetheart, and
you gave the name of the attorney
and that of the girl. However, you
refrained from giving the name of
the gay Romeo who, despite re-
peated threats from the attorney,
continued to seek the girls COM
pany. Now it seems to me that some
newspaper reporter is getting har-
dening of the arteries and not do
ing his job properly or else the
man without the cut on his head
who caused all the rumpus is a So
called estimable politician or racke-
teer with too much good old pull
to have his fair name brandlShed
across the front page.
In every sense of the word I think
it was pretty rotten to give the girls
name in an attack of this kind when
she merely had been unfortunate
enough to have known a man who
remains a natural.
However, since the Deans have
been partially spilled and we are
all romanticists, Notwithstanding our
economic mindedneSs, we'd like to
know the name of the Lochinvar
who dared all to see his lady love.
Maybe it's the prosaic boy next door
we have found so boresone. You
know. We'd like to know, too.

TIMES EM-ROE SHOOTING
SCHOOL is PRAISED
Bv Cecil F. Scott.

BY Cecil F. Scott.
wish to express my appreciation
for the opportunity offered by The
Times Em-Roe Shooting School. /,
like most people who were taught
to use a gun in childhood, was quite
egos.ical, and it was through the
patience of Mr., Adams, the instruc-
tor. that I was shown where I was
wrong.
I am sorry I did not attend this
school sooner and regret very much
that it is nearing its closing day.
In observing the people who came
for instructions I found them, for
the most part, all like myself. They
seemed to think there was nothing
to it. After a few careful and Sc
lected instructions on safety and
form Mr.. Adams made his school
one Of art.
Daily we read Of bankers and
peace officers learning to shoot to
protect the public against bandits,
but this is the first time, to my
knowledge, that any one has taken
an interest in teaching the PUBLIC
how to protect themselves against
the many casualties resulting from
ignorance during the hunting sea-
son.
I hope the public attends the
shoot this afternoon so that it can
appreciate the good work the school
has done.

A KING?
BY LANES d. ROTH

BY JAMES ID. ROTH
Wouldst thou have sweet peace Of
mind?
Come with me.
Well hit the woodland trail-en-
twined,
Come with me.
And take look at nature grand,
All our cares and worries banned:
To measure time, We'll just use
sand.
Come with me.
There are. mansions great and
many.
Come with me.
But for worth, they're worth
penny.
Come with me.
They are man-made phoney things,
And the praise the owner sings,
But they're not the homes OF kings.
Come with me.
Oh friend If king you'd really be.
Follow me.
Well trod the paths Ger vale ana

Follow me.
Then I'll know your heart beats
true,
Your friendship I will never rue:
There1l be two kings, III follow YOU
Come with me.

ANOTHER TARGET NEEDED

CENATOR LONG and Father Coughlin will
- have 10 find new target. Their charge
that Gen. Hugh johnson is "Baruch's hired
man" doesn't sound like very harsh indct-
ment in light Of Bernard Baruchs performance
before the Senate Munitions Investigating
Committee.
Mr. Baruch proved 10 the originally hostile
committee that he made no profits out Of
the last war. that. to the contrary, he sacri-
feed a portion of his fortune to dissociate
himself from profitable industries during his
service on the War Industries Board.
He opened up his income tax records and
asked the fault finders to do their worst. He
offered TO answer the most personal questions
regarding his income and his fortune and his
conduct as a wartime public servant. Neither
Senator Long nor any other accuser appeared
TO charge a single discreditable act.
Mr.. Baruch told the committee that he
favored drastic pay as you fight taxes, and
he offered 10 go as far as any member Of the
committee" in working out plan to take the
profits out Of war.
He told the committee that he owned
seven million dollars worth of government
bonds, but that he favored removing tax
exemptions TO bring about "a fairer tax sys-
tenn" He told the committee that Congress
should take steps to keep out Of future wars
oy redehning American neutrality rights.
Those who have INDUCED in so much loose
talk about Mr.. Baruch have yes TO prove their
superior patriotism.

After reading your editorial I
was unable to find in the paper a
news item relating to Archbishop
Curley's speech. 1t evidently was
important only as the genesis for
writing a beclouded comment on
what the writer had in his mind.
The political leaders of Mexico
have become wealthy through their
policy of Connscation of the nat
ural resources Of Mexico. Gales
rose from a poor school teacher to
the position of a multimillionaire.
If we condemned the oil scandals
Of the Harding Administration,
how can we with consistency up
hold similar misdeeds in Mexico?
The persecution Of religion in
Mexico is an effort to silence
opposition to corrupt government.
1t is a smoke-screen, a decoy to
detract the attention of other ma
lions, while INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clans allied with government and
money interests continue to get
their spoils.
What did the archbishop speak
about? Certainly not Father
Coughlin's social justice plans,
because he can speak for himself.
Not about Bishop Cannon's con-
troversy with Al Smith and Sen
ator Glass, because the bishop also
speaks for himself. What was his
subject? 1t was about Mexico, the
Mexico that never gets a hear
ing in the newspapers. The per-
secution of a helpless people by
goddess government, who are de-
termined, like Soviet Russia, to
crush religion, because religion is
the one and only obstacle they
fear.
During the last 20 years Ameri-
leans have been killed in Mexico
and their property confScated.
Last September the Mexican
government permitted trespassers
to appropriate and conf1scate for
their own use a 4200-acre planta-
ton owned by American citizens.
Only this month Senator Tom
Connolly Of Texas wired Ambas-
sador Daniels demanding that this
property be returned to the Amer
lean owners. Was this interior

Times Editorial Raped

One likes to remember and will
appreciate always your excellent
work in behalf Of the Jews in
Germany. The Hitler persecu-
lions merited and received unlim-
tied publicity. Headlines on the
front pages, editorials of condem-
nation, mass meetings, boyCotts
and Democratic Senator. the
mouthpiece of the President,
arose in the Senate and de
nounced the persecution of the
Jews in Germany. Was this in
reference in German church
fight? Why the secrecy about
conditions in Mexico?
Ii by their deeds we brand the
Hitler government barbaric, tyran-
nical and enemies of freedom, why
not brand the Cardenias gov
eminent who are guilty of SINH
lar crimes with the same iron?
Aren't Catholics in Mexico hui
man and entitled to the God-given
rights we demand that Germany
give the Jews? If you condemn
Curley, the Archbishop Of Balti-
more, for speaking in defense of
a prosecuted and voiceless people,
why not condemn Faulhaber,
Archbishop of Munich, for his
speeches against the Hitler atroci-
ties?
The rub? Is this a yelled threat?
Last week former President Hoo
yer and Col. Roosevelt attacked
President Roosevelt. They have
millions of followers-will the rub
affect them? Perhaps you in
tended to infer that Catholics 81
lence their hierarchy, stifle truth
and, like groundhogs, crawl in a
hole.
Your ending is mirth- provoking
Leave politics to the politicians
Your past record as a champion of
honest government disproves such
a statement. I am wondering if
the office boy wrote this editorial
because it contradicts principles
I know you have fought for.

ANOTHER READER SCORES
CURLEY EDITORIAL

BY Agitated.
After reading your editorial COM
ment of March u on the recent ut
terances of Archbishop Curiey of
Baltimore. one can hardly help from
thinking that you know not where
of you speak.
You aver that in previous era
the clergy were content to leave
politics to the politicians. The in
depreciation of this statement de-
ponds on your definition of politics.
If you consider the present activi-
ties of Father Coughlin and Arch
bishop Curley as delving into poll
tics, then your statement is without
any semblance of truth.
From the earliest days Of the
church in this country the clergy
have been active along these lines.

of the youngsters who paraded today
as Boy Patrols will be driving auto
mobiles within the next ten years. The
elementary traffic safety rules they
learned as Boy Patrols will remain
with them as drivers. Before taking
the steering wheel of an automobile
they will have undergone a pretty
thorough lesson in traffic dangers as
seen from the curbstone. Having been
Boy Patrols, they should be better
and more careful automobile drivers.
If the adult automobile driver could
in some manner be made to feel the
responsibility for safety of others that
the Boy Patrol assumes when he dons
his cross-belt and badge large pro-
portion of the accidents caused by
automobile drivers today would be
prevented. Thoughtlessness, careless

Never regarded a virile or positive

fire on grounds Of pro- German sympa-

belief that he would take a firm

another World Economic Conference,
to tackle currency stabilization and
other issues which were shipwrecked

WHERE THE ROAD FORKS
BY THE RIGHT JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D., Ill. D. Del,
Bishop of Washington.

The Master sent group of His
followers upon an errand, giving them
certain directions pertaining to it. We
read that they went their way and,
coming to a place where two ways
met" there they found the object of
their search.
This fragment from the narrative is
suggestive of an experience that hap
pens to us frequently in the course
of life. We are constantly coming
to fork in the road, and when we
come to it we pause to determine
which road we will take. At such
time we are compelled, not only to
determine the course we shall pursue,
but the objective we have in mind.
So long as the highway over which
we travel remains level and straight
We move along our way uninter-
rupted and secure in our confidence
that it leads in the right direction.
Once we come to the place where the
road forks we are met with a new
situation. The one road may seem
the way to travel and full of promise;
the other may look less attractive and
suggest difficulties ahead. Many, pos
Sibly most Of us, hastily reach the
conclusion that the more attractive,
well-paved road is more appealing,
hence we take it without any definite
conviction as to whittier it leads. The
youth inevitably takes not only the
easy road, but the one that promises
a short cut" to the object he seeks
Frequently he finds the need of re-
tracing his steps and following the
more difficult but secure way that
leads to attainment. The whole world
today seems to be standing without
definiteness Of decision at the fork
OF the road. The advocates of the
two ways are strong and appealing.
The advocates of one way have pro-
grams and systems that suggest the
solution Of our problems; they seem
to indicate an easy solution of our
ills. Their program appeals to the
unthinking and superficial Its whole
purpose Is the satisfaction of our
physical and material needs. Satisfy
these and all will be well. Their pro-
gram has in it nothing that calls
for self-diScipline and self restraint,
nor is 1t suggestive of the course
we have pursued at other times when
we found ourselves in like situation.
