INITIATIVE lil
FINANCED BY TAX

Editor. The Times: During the
state Democratic convention.
Mert Franci. made the state
ment that II the pension initia-
tive were passed it would forfeit
the federal matching money be-
cause it was not formulated on
basis OF need
This was a deliberate misrep-
resentation of fact. Initiative
141 states clearly that AL age
assistance shall be given only to
those whose incomes are less
than $3.50 per year This clearly
shows a basis of need.
He further states the initiative
contained no specific method of
raising money. The same is
true of the present old age as
sistance law.
In its present form, enactment
OF Initiative 14l would leave it
to the legislature TO find means
of raising the money.
1t is said by those who should
know that 81 per cent Of the
wealth of this state Is entirely
untaxed.
II would be- up to the legisla-
ture TO tap this great reservoir
of untaxed wealth. rather than
putting more taxes upon the
bread and milk of babies.
There is also a possibility of a
graduated income tax IL a
change can be made in the state
constitution.
This would make available
about $4,000, 900 additional reve-
nue. and affect only a very small
part OF the population.

Turning to History

Librarians report that people are turning eagerly to
history in an effort find explanation arrive at
some understanding. of what going the world today
That is natural enough But the reading of little
history like the acquiring of little knowledge of any kind
dangerous thing There il is true certain super
cal parallels between what is going today and what
went when the French Revolutionary armies swept
across Europe There have been invaders before, and
aggressors, and conquerors.
But there aspects to the rapidly unfolding fate
of Europe today which history offers few parallels As
people of the past largely guided by what bravery
land they could muster the face of crcum
stance must carve out our own fate in our own
world So much, at least, history seems to teach.

Four Centenary
Of the Order

To commemorate the fourth CEN
tenary of the Society of Jesus, the
Lima Library at Catholic University
has placed on exhibition a number
of rare books written by or concern
ing Jesuits.
The oldest book of the "a rare
items on exhibit bears the date 1890.
Published In Macao, Portugal's coll
ony in China, it is Latin trans
lation of ar account of a mission Of

According to manuscript note on
the flyleaf, the copy in the Lima Lii
brary was sent by the Jesuit visitor
to Japan to the Archbishop of Evora
in Portugal, who presented it to the
Carthusian Library, which he had
founded. DR.. Manuel de Oliveira
Lima, who presented his famous
Ibero-American library to the uni
versity, bought this rare volume in
Lisbon many years ago.
Other books in the display concern
mainly the Jesuit provinces in Port
ugal and Brazil. The Society Of
Jesus played an important part in
the history of the latter country.
From their arrival in l549 to their
suppression in the latter part of the
18th century the Jesuits- contributed
largely to the development and ex-
pansion of Portuguese America. In
Brazil particularly, the observance
of the 400th anniversary Of the
founding of the society is being
widely celebrated.
