WHISKEY SHOULD
BE TAXED because it
is a luxury, and all luxu-
ries ought to be taxed
more heavily than ne
cessities. Excise taxes,
which are based on the
sale of whiskey, are
heavy but are fair to
manufacturers for in all
states they fall on all
whiskey no matter
where produced. Mary
lands manufacturing
tax of IN cents a gallon,
ever, puts tn c
Maryland distiller at a
price disadvantage with
competitors manufact-
uring in states which do
not impose such a tax.
Sales of Maryland whis-
key fall off, Maryland
production is reduced,
and this tax tends to de-
feat its own purpose.
Maryland should tax
whiskey, yes, but not in
such a way as to discour-
age the industry in our
State. And this is just
what the present manu-
facturers' tax does.

National Unity-For Peace
sense.
Philadelphia Record)
National unity!"

National unity!"
 More and more that phrase creeps into dispatches from Washington and into the columns of the com mentators. President Roosevelt himself uses it in his letter canceling his address for Democratic Women's Day"
 National unity is fine phrase Like many fine phrases it should be clearly defined, especially m times like these Otherwise those using the phrase may be grievously misunderstood.
 Our nation, for example is unquestionably united behind its democratic form of government. We pray that it will be.
 On the other hand, for individual or mem Der of Congress to dissent from policy of the Admn- stration or from an opinion in vogue at Washington that's democracy. And it would be an unhappy mis- take for anyone to seek to choke off free expression of opinion with the cry that it disturbs national unity l1
 This is particularly pertinent in connection With the impending session of Congress.
 Congress will meet to decide our foreign policy in this time of international crisis and strife Its dis cussions should be discussions of statesmen discus sens concerned only with the best interests of the nation and not with political partisanship. But those members of Congress also go to Wash ngton representatives of their people And if their people prefer which may not fit in with the desires of the Administration the majority in either houseit is still the right and duty of those represen- tatives to speak freely and without any suggestion of coercion, political emotional.
 Only in such clear atmosphere of serious debate can our nations welfare best be safeguarded.
 Only in such atmosphere can the overwhelming desire of our people for neutrality be translated into practical action
 We a democracy. We are at peace.
 Our national unity for preservation of those con- ditions is beyond question.
 But because face critical days, there are groups which will seek to use the concept of national unity for political purposes. Already have noted the eagerness of certain Republicans to muscle in on the Administration under the cloak of national unity, in order to strengthen their partisan position.
 That's not the American way
 In the tension of the days to come free expression of opinion, in Washington and out will be the safety valve for our emotions well our conscience But it should be honest opinion Neither Republicans nor Democrats should attempt to make domestic political capital out of our foreign policy.
 Peace no less than war imposes duty upon citi- Especially the duty to think, and think clearly Emotion often tends to crowd out Anger may threaten to supersede judgment.
 President Roosevelt has warned against those very dangers His task in preserving the neutrality he has pledged will be difficult and he will need cool heads in the hinterlands well about him in the capital
 With his leadership, national unty-that inces- sant phrase-should mean not unity of opinion but unity of purpose-the purpose being peace.

It's November B!
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

(Seattle Post-Integencer)
 Gov Clarence D. Martin acts in conformity wtf popular feeling in this state in designating Novem- Der g Thanksgiving Day.
 Since President Roosevelt announced the earlier date to be named in his own proclamation which applies only to the national capital and territories public sentiment has had opportunity to crystal lize There has been general acceptance of the fact that holidays made for people not people for holidays and that November 30 Thanksgiving is entirely too close to Christmas and New Year.
 The entire holiday system, and, indeed, the cal endar as whole are overdue for a change The scheduling of all holidays Monday certainly would add greatly to public enjoyment and confidence Business could be conducted efficiently with more spacing of holidays and with division of the year into months and quarters that would allow more accurate statistical comparisons.
 The advanced Thanksgiving that will be observed quite generally this year will mean greater con venience in this particular instance It will greatly stimulate business It also encourages the study of even broader reforms. 14l 'F 's-ls '@ -sa

AIR PROGRESS

This is National Air Progress week tribute to a most stirring development in American life The saga of American aviation is of patient sE.l courage and unquenchabe optimism. It has it's origins in the laboratory, the flying field o-er the og-bound arway in the screaming power dive in the cold air of the higher attitudes and aove storm tossed waters It is story Of heroic plcneers of eager scientists and of in military and civilian life doing days job well
 With air-raid sirens across the Atlantic ringing in one ears it is natural to think first of aviation in it's military role Here the United States has no cause be ashamed of it's progress Since the first crude bipane delivered by the Wrights to the Signal Ccrps 30 years ago the aircraft industry, through it's own research and through the technical facili ties of the National Advisory Committee for Aero nautics and the laboratory equipment of both the Q my and the navy, has supplied to both services planes of all kinds whose performances at least the equal of their counerparts anywhere else in the i'd.
 But it is on the civil side that air progress in this nation has been the most noteworthy. It was cnly in 1918 that the first plane made hard work of it 10 get from New York to Philadelphia with a few pcands of mail in four hours.

In international service our flag is flown more than 50OoO miles Of airway including schedule service across both major oceans and around the perimeter of sister continent to the south
 Land transports of 30 tons gross weight and fly ing boats of 42la tons already are in the air. Air craft of 100 tons and more are on the drawing boards Engines have passed 2000 horsepower for a single unit And with the size of aircraft the cl ure of the industry and of the men who operate it has grown The National Aeronautc Association has done national service in arranging for the celebration of air progress in America.
