During this last, niJhtnorish week. we have been thCnk-
ing God that we ore Americans. We are thankful that the
beautiful rolling hills and fertile fields OF our land are not 10
be marked with shell holes. We are Thankful that we must not
send the best Of our manhood to fight and TO die. We are
thankful that we need not run toward q shelter every time we
hear On Cdrplune droning overhead.
We pray thot we may continue to be thankful for ali these
reasons.
In America we have learned much since the last great
wor. We have learned not 10 let propaganda influence Us, if
we con help it. We have learned that il q European co2Iict
America has everything to lose ard not G thing TO gam.
There is q different feeling in this country than there Wd5
in 1914. We ore determined to stay ct 3c11c, out tt.eTe IS q
danger to that determination taCt We must lace.
To-day, everyone except q few, place the blame :or the
conflict now RACING in Europe, zquGrcIy On the shoulders q

This is different viewpoint from the one We had Ct tie

We con only examine ecch part Of each piece OF news that
comes to us, and be sure that ell OF II is based in the soundest
Of facts, we con only watch vigluntly lest any bit OF prejudice
becomes buried in our minds, to grow ana 10 tester until or

We must guard our own minds carefully, tor il is out OF

sore thumb; it totals ST, 639 ,0O0,-
600 and goes to pay interest on
the government debt.
That interest" item is the
one to watch, for it represents
the amount that the govern
ment must pay on the line to
keep its credit good. It's the
value that serves to indicate
when the debt limit is boiling
dangerously high. And the pres
ent Treasury report shows the
mercury far, far up with no
present sign of coming down.
AS mentioned before, the facts
and figures are a bitter and
diversified pill to swallow. But in
the very fact that the Treasury
Department is making an effort
to determine the extent and
nature of the whole fiscal prob
lem lies the most heartening
sign along this particular line
in a long time. 1t may mean
that next session Congress and
the Treasury. working together.
can really start out to reduce
what one wit APPLY called the
"liening tower of government
taxing and spending.

past six years the tax revenues
Of all governments in this coun-
try have increased 1916 per
cent, from about 8 IA billion
dollars to we'll over IA ga bill
lions. That means an average
tax burden of about STA for
every man, woman and child
in the United States, which
brings the load for a typical
family to $456.
There might, of course, be a
ray of sunshine even in the
prospect of so heavy a tax on
the individual family if the
high rates were made neces-
sary by a real drive to bring
the budget into balance and
start the hard work of pairing
down the national debt. But
with the best estimators hold
ing that 1889 governmental ex-
penditures are going to be
around two billion dollars high
er than last years even that
ray seems pale and Intellectual.
One other point brought out
by the Treasury figures deserves
the attention of all of us. This
particular information is con-
tanned in a chart which breaks
down last years spending &C
cording to the various govern
mental functions. The largest
single item - over three billion
dollars-goeS for relief, welfare
and social security, and serves
to emphasize that the first
problem to be solved if we are
to have a reasonable fiscal stu
alton is that of giving business
encouragement so that it can
go forward with the expansion
that means jobs and more pay
rolls.
The next two items are eX-
penses which no citizen be-
grudges paying governmental
outlay for education and for
streets and highways. But the
fourth largest item is another

~ JAMES Preston

Washington doesn't, as some
may SurmiSe, merely hum and
browse and swat flies between
sessions of Congress. A great
deal of important activity is
taking place these days on the
banks of the sluggish Potomac.
Late summer ana early fall
activity at the national capital
might be conveniently divided
into two general claSsificationS.
The first of these might be
called fireworks" That's the
news that goes off with a big
bang and thick, black, inky
headlines. Into this group would
probably go much of the gov
ernmental hard work that re-
suits from the present tangled
state of European nerves., work
that has kept State Depart
ment windows ablaze with light
many a night lately. Also in
Guided here would be the in
veStigations of the Dies Com
mittee, aiming to show the
identity that exists among all
the foreign ''isms," and making
it clear that all of them are
equal menaces to our free Am
erican institutions - religious
and civil freedom, representa-
tive democracy, and the system
of private enterprise: .
The second classification OF
Washington activity would in
clude news of a non-pyrotech-
meal variety. 1t doesn't set
people to shouting in the
Streets, but it's frequently every
bit as important to the wei
fare of the individual Amerl-
can as the stuff that makes the
front pages.
An example of this latter
class occurred just the other
day when the Treasury Depart
ment issued a bulletin that
trained observers Immediately
recognized as important for a
number of reasons. The bulle-
tin was the first part of a
comprehensive study of Federal,
state and local fiscal opera
tons which is projected by the
Treasury as the first step to-
wards finding out what tax re-
forms are most necessary in
this country.
The fact that Secretary Nor
genthau'S department is laying
the groundwork for a better and
sounder tax structure is, of
course, cheering news. But the
momentary impression, as one
reads the present report and
tries to make the figures come
alive, is naturally one of gloom.
NATURALLY" is the inevitable
word, for the bulletin shows all
too forcibly the treacherous
character of the swamp into
which heavy spending and the
theories in back of it have led
this country and its taxpayers.
And, incidentally, almost all
of us are taxpayers, including
the one out of four in this
country who answered a Gallup
poll by solemnly declaring that
they pay no taxes.

School Lighting, Healing
Protests Studied

Protests by various civic organiza-
tions against the drastic economy
practiced in the lighting Of Wash
ington public schools, and the threat
that they might be closed on ac-
count Of fuel shortage, are being
carefully considered by the subcom-
mittee on the second deficiency ap-
preparation bill, with the prospect
that the present school situation may
be partially relieved.
The Budget Bureau has approved
an item Of $4,000, but only sitter
the $25, 900 asked by the school
board for heat and lighting In the
schools had been reduced $4,000.
School .oficials explain that the
usual appropriation for fuel, gas
and electricity for the schools had
already been cut $25, 900. This made
the deficiency appropriation neces-
sary.
Fuel economy is practically i'm
possible, the school officials explain
because the class rooms have to be
kept at a certain temperature under
the law, so the only alternative would
be to close the schools. Rigid
economy In school lighting has been
practiced for several months, they
emphasize In pleas to the Appro-
priation Committee, and the citizens
organizations have repeatedly pro-
tested against inadequate lighting.

ored, of the 1000 block of Clagget
place NE, pleaded guilty to the

of Pickford place NE, pleaded not
guilty to theft of the automobile.
Lindsay pleaded guilty to this latter
charge. All were held for grand
jury action under 81, 500 bond each.
Pvt. Davis said that a charge of
larceny from the store also will be
placed against Baden when the
cases are presented to the grand
jury. Jones, a former employe of
the messenger service, allegedly gave
Balden and Coins his cap, which he
wore while employed by the service,

posed as bona fide employees of the

ously and then announced to his
accusers: Nov, I'm going to talk

Assails Nazi Meeting.
Before the argument over Guam
began, Representative Martin. DEM
oc;at, Of Colorado assailed the Ger
American Bund and denounced
In particular its so-called "Ameri-
canization meeting" in New York
Monday night.
Every man in that mass meeting
who is In sympathy with 1t is a
traitor to American democracy and
Government whether he is still an
unnaturaliZed alien or was born on
American soil," he said. IN the
World War their fealty was to the
Kaiser. Now it is to Hitler. I"
Shades of Washington, must
such things be tolerated In the
name Of liberty on the free soil Of
America ? God save America frAn

A reply came later from Repre-
sentative Hawks. Republican, Of
Wisconsin.
II did not hear the. gentleman
refer to Communist meetings that
were being held all over the United
States at the same time that q few
German people were meeting in
New York." he said. "Why under
the sun-what reason is there that
during the past few weeks in the
House there has been no mention
Of the Communists?
I'VE have been attempting to
malign the German people, we have
been attempting to malign the
Italian people. We have had to
listen to statements such as the

The strongest applause of the
evening was reserved fol, the Duke
of Windsor, whom Club President
Max Shoop introduced with the re-
mark that his presence gave the oc-
caSion a "trAlmvirate" nature. De-
spite shouts of speech" the ex-
King of Britain smflingly declined
to address the club.
Prime Minister Chamberlain at
that moment was quoting Shake
speare in a speech at Blackburn,
England, to the effect that come
the three corners of the world in
arms, and we shall shock them"
Some saw the speech as more
evidence of a hardening stand BY
the British and French against the

Germany in return for friendship,
but warned that Britain was strong
enough to maintain her liberties
