The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1939-06-02

Sions did arise they
came only after bitter fight in
Congress. However, IN the last few
days the Hresident has seemingly
heen compelled as a result of the
various conf 1rences that have been
held, to agree to permit the leaders
Of his party IN the House and Sen
ate to proceed with the revision of
Federal tax legislation looking to-
ward some appeasement Of business.
Trained observers believe that some
Of the burdensome and troublesome
taxes will be eliminated or revised,
and that the tax laws may be sim
plified. but that in the whole the
taz structure will be so buiIded as
TO bring in the same amount of, or
more, revenue to the government
treasury as under the present law.
The Florida Ship Canal will not
be cons ructed. At least not by APP
preparations from this Congress.
Last week the Senate defeated the
bill providing for the Federal gov
ernment to resume work on the gi-
gantic ditch across the Peninsula
State. which would have cost some
where around three hundred million
dollars. The practicability Of the
canal was so questioned that the
economy bloc in the Senate was able
to win their fight. In the meantime
in the House number of appropri-
ations for newly proposed dams in
various small rivers of the country
was defeated, saving MANY millions
Of dollars.
Congressional Memorial services
were held in the House Chamber on
Memorial Day honoring the nine
Members of Congress who have
died since the last memorial service
a year ago. The latest loss to Con-
gress came only last week in the
death Of Bert Lord Of New York,
who passed away Unexpectedly in a
Washington hospital.
AT least half the membership of
Congress returned to their homes
for Memorial Day exercises and Wis
its, with the result that Congress
transacted but little business the
first part Of the week. However,
more and more important measures
are being brought up for considera-
ton and it now appears it will not
be long until the rush and high pres
sure Of legislative matters in prep
aration for adjournment will be the
order Of the day. Most legislative
veterans, however, are still predict
ing that Congress will he in session
until around the first of August, and
perhaps longer Those more opti-
mistic express the hope that final
adjournment may come soon after
the 4th Of July.

DAYTON-As the beautiful sum-

the plans for the annual picnic.

GET OUT THE VOTE!

There are lot of community loose
ends that have to be gathered up by the
next set of city officials to be elected
November IA. 1t is important to have at
least few good men running our NUM-
cipal affairs for the next two years. Our
citizens and taxpayers cannot expect good
community service from men inexperienced
in financial and operating problems.
The men qualified by background and
experience to handle these important mat
tiers are among the candidates listed in the
official ballots. This is no time for senti-
ment, sympathy or simple-mindedness
Now is the time for our citizens to study
the various candidates, compare their
qualifications and determine if they are
fitted to solve our pressing problems. Only
those who stand up under this acid test
should be voted into office.
But they must be voted into office.
We cannot wish them into office They
can't take up the municipal reins unless
majority of the voters get out and vote
for them. A total of 5,127 names appear
on the list of qualified voters This is
1887. If SO per cent of the registered
voters vote it is safe to state that the good
men will be voted into office.
For that reason the Junior Chamber
of Commerce has decided to do something
about getting out the voters. They will call
attention to this vital community service
by staging parade the night of Nov. Is,
election eve. They will parade through
Duval, Greene, Simonton, Fleming, White,
Division and thence move on to Bayview
Park where it is planned to hold political
rally in which all candidates will be invited
to participate.
The Citizen hopes that the point of
the parade is not overlooked. 1t won't do
any good to look at the parade and then
permit the old faithful election day voters
to run the whole show. If only small
percentage of the registered voters vote,
it's a cinch that some highly affable and
popular lightweighters will be voted into
office. What Key West needs is a few
heavyweights up their swinging for this
good old rock.
SAY IT WITH VOTES ON ELEC-
TION DAY.

THE RED CROSS SERVES

The Red Cross, which will launch it's
annual membership drive on Armistice
Day, had 5,666,68O members last year.
This is the highest peace-time membership
in the history of the organization.
It is also reported that the Reserve
Corps of Nurses attained new high en-
rollment of 24,479 and that nearly 10000
nurses have been specified as the "first re-
serve" from which the organization can
draw nurses in event of an emergency.
The Red Cross, which has 300
chapters throughout the nation, serves the
people of this country in peace as we'll as
in war. 1t has been extremely useful in
rendering assistance to disabled veterans
and their families and last year more than
10000 ex-service men took advantage of
the services of the Red Cross.
ok The disaster relief work of the Red
Cross is too we'll known to require specific
comment. While most communities have
little occasion to call for the aid that the
Red Cross extends, it is comfort to all to
know that national organization stands
ready to promptly prevent suffering in the
event of catastrophe. If the Red Cross
did nothing more than stand ready for
emergency relief to stricken communities,
it would deserve the support of the people
of the country.

BUSINESS AND WAR

William S. Knudsen, president of
General Motors Corporation, says that the
theory that business men like to see war
come so they can make pot of money out
of it, is shameful and false assump-
ton"
This is probably the truth, especially
in view of what happened to profits in this
country after the last war. AS Mr.. Knud-
sen says, the corporations and individuals
who make profit out of war are not as
numerous as those who don't. He is posi-
tive that his own company, often singled
out as war baby cannot make money
out of a war because the losses of the reg
war orders.

REMEMBER?

Remember the roll of drums and
how we watched
Them coming down the street,
flags flying,
Heads held high?
Remember the sound of their
marching feet,
And how we tried to catch the
eyes of those we knew?
Remember that strange feeling
that came over us
After they had passed?
Something had gone out of our
liveS-SOmething
Gone forever, we know.
Remember how mothers, wives
and sweethearts kept eyes
Dry until they had passed, then
wept in each others
Arms?
You remember that?
Remember when they returned
no bands played
Only arnbulances shrieked as
they unloaded
Cripples on crutches and legless
men?
Remember? You remember that?

William c. Hodges and Dwight
Rogers each makes the claim that he is the
legal parent of the Florida homestead tax
amendment That question can easily be
decided by reading the House Journal of
the Legislature of 1888. Judge William

resentative in that legislative session, in
formed the writer that Dwight Rogers was
the daddy of the amendment, and this
fact should be remembered when next
year both gentlemen will offer for office.
