The meeting of the German AM
erican Bund in New York recently
was made possible by police pro-
lection who stood guard while the
hybrid Americans abused President
Roosevelt and sang their praises to
Hitler. The whole proceedings
while it made the blood Of thous-
ands of Americans boil, served a
useful purpose. 1t showed that we

would overthrow it If they had the
power 1t also served the more use
full purpose of awakening in the
minds of true Americans the reali-

safe guarding. A deep undercurrent
of resentment was aroused against
foreigners who seek to live over
here and bring with them the hated
tyrannies OF their own government,
one of the things from which the
Founders of the American govern

HATS FOR MEN

HATS FOR MEN
We have been In q constant other
regarding the funny female head
gear that appeals to the masculine
sense of outrageous indignation. But
let us get our minds off Of the
ladies lids and consider the news
that America has IL "best-hatted
men," They were named by a hat
industry. According to them, a
best-dressed man must own twelve
hats, which means hat for every
thtng-a high silk, sports, straw,
panama. homberg, derby, snap
brim, and so on! This covers the
needs of Kennewick men for their
social functions but doesn't take
into consideration the good ole
fishing hat that Mother has tried
to burn, and the kind Of hat that
Father wears to the barn, to carry
out the ashes, and to hoe in the
garden

No system of teaching that re.
moves from the task of learning the
old time honored method of dieRina
and studying and the wholesome
discipline that comes from STUDYING
when one doesn't want to study
and studying the thing that one
doesn't like to study, is going to ac-
complish the thing that school is
supposed to accomplish. There is a
training in the discipline Of doing
the things that are hard and dis
tasteful that plays an important
part in equipping one for life and
its problems. The teaching that
permits child to side step diff
cult problems In school will lily tit
him to meet. as he must, the prob
lens in life, where he can't side
step or dodge them. The best edu-
cation today is that which develops
clear thinking, initiative, persist
ance and faith in ones self. Given
these, the average person can work
out most any problem that life pres
ents.

were taken in their entirety they
would not provide sufficient funds
to balance the budget. The best
plan for federal financing is to
make all incomes taxable and raise
the balance through federal sales
tax. AS long IS few people pay
the expenses Of the government
there IS not going to be much op-
position to wasted federal funds.
When every citizen has to pay his
share of the government expenses
he will be more concerned about
how the money is spent. With the
mass Of voters escaping any federal
tax the lack Of interest is not sur
prising.

The recent legislature extended
the sales tax to selected services
such as shoe repairing, laundering,
ETC., removing the exemption from
food stuff, put sales tax in addition
to ten per cent tax on liquor; dou-
bled the cigarette tax; further
spread fuel oil tax and compensat-

catch up with the appropriation

TEMPLE OF RELIGION"

AT the Worlds Fair in New Yors
there will be an exhibit Of all the
different faiths known to man. The
investment Of $25O.000 is under
stood by the public. John D. Rock
efeller was the patron for this
building. It is hoped that this
Temple Of Religion" will give add
ed attention to all faiths and in
crease attention to religion. This
is to be seen. There is always the
hope that good men Of various
faiths will have an influence on
others not inclined to religion. In
the Chicago fair in 1893 there was
q similar exhibit called the "Con.
gress Of Religions This proved
an interesting exhibit rather than
a powerful influence. But what
ever impression this temple holds,
it acknowledges the force Of re-
ligion in the life Of the world.

The right Of free speech Is the
only thing that would make It pos
stble for real Americans to say Just
what they think Of the German
Nazi bund and other kindred or
CARNATIONS that attempt to get q
foothold In this country. About the
worst punishment this country could
inf1ict upon such as these would
be to send them back home and
let them organize to their hearts
content in their own country.

The Wagner Labor Act has done
more to ALLEVIATE industry from the
present administration than any
other single piece Of legislation that
mas been passed. It has inspired in

moved, industry is going to proceed

Much is said and written regard
ing the necessity of a wider dis
tribution of wealth in this country
If purchasing power is going to be
restored. The disposition the past
few years has been to take the earn
ings away from those who are cap
able of only small earnings. The
result has been to discourage init
iative in men who are capable of
big things and big earnings, and
dull the initiative in those who re-
ceive the distribution for which
minimum effort has been expended.
There has been an unequal distri-
button of wealth as far back as his
tory goes, and there always will be
because there always will be an
unequal distribution of talent and
energy and industry and genius. The
man capable of great organization
and great accomplishments must
receive large rewards or his genius
will languish. When his efforts
and accomplishments and earnings
are drastically reduced the earnings
OF all those in the brackets below
are going to be reduced. While
there is much criticism Of the sal
aries received by leaders of In
dustry it is interesting to note that
the whole scale of salaries moves
up only when salary of the man
