School Children Must
Get Smallpox Serum
May Not Enroll In Public Schools
Unless Vaccinated

Here's an important message from
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, to parents
whose children will enter school this
fall.
Don't forget" DR.. Riley said, "that
our Maryland law requires every
youngster to be vaccinated against
smallpox before he or she may be en-
rolled in any public school in the
State If you have neglected to have
your small son or daughter who is
starting to school this fall, protected
against this disease, don't wait any
longer Go to your doctor or the near
est health officer and have it done.
physicians practicing in Maryland
are expected to vaccinate all babies
under their care before they are year
old. Until the children are Of school
age, the spsonsibility rests with
the parents. After that it is shared
by the school authorities. Any teacher,
school commissioner or trustee who
admits child who has not been sue
cessfully vaccinated against small
poX is liable to fine of ten dollars.
eve hear so little about smallpox
in Maryland that it is hard for US to
realize how prevalent it is elsewhere.
We can point with considerable pride
to the fact that we have been practl-
cally free from the disease for over
ten years. One case-listed as small
pox-was reported in 1885, but the
diagnosis was doubted by those famil-
lar with the disease. With that ex-
ception our record has been blank
since 1880.
"But you will find a very different
picture if you look at the records of
other sections of the country. Over
l,900 cases have been reported to the
U. S. Public Health Service since the
first of this year. The majority oc-
CURED in states in which vaccination
is not compulsory.
Some idea of what is likely to hap
pen when vaccination is not required
may be gathered from the experience
of the State of Kansas, which has very
nearly the same population as Mary
land, but which does not have a vac
Cination law. Nearly 2,700 cases Of
smallpox were reported among resi-
dents of that State during the five
years from 1885 to the close of 1899.
"On the other hand, a recently pub
lished list gives the names of eight
states, including Maryland, in which
there have been no cases of smallpox
for from two to twelve years. All have
compulsory vaccination laws. Here is
the list; Rhode Island, IL years; Mary
land, 10; New Jersey, 8; Massachu-
sets, 7; Pennsylvania, 6; Connecticut
and New Hampshire, each 5, and New
York State, 2 years.
Smallpox is highly contagious
Anybody who has not been vaccinated
against it, and is exposed to it, is
likely to contract the disease. The
only way to avoid having it is through
vaccination. Our practical freedom
from smallpox in Maryland has been
due to the intelligent cooperation of
the people of this State with the
health authorities in the observance
of the vaccination requirements. With
continued cooperation we can keep the
record blank"

THE LITTLE FELLOW
STILL PAYS
(RirerSide Press

No matter what sort of comparison
we make between the total taxes now
paid by the average Britisher in these
critical war days, with the taxes paid by
the average American-and true COM
parison is somewhat difficult-one fact
stands out in Great Britain as it has al
ways stood out in the United States and
every other civilized country. That fact
is that it 'S the little man who pays
1t has repeatedly been pointed out by
tax students in our country that it Is the
little fellow who digs up taxes, either
directly or indirectly, no matter whether
or not he rises high in the income tax
bracket. In fact the incomes of all MIL
lionnaires in the country, if taken entire
ly by the tax collector would be enough
to run this expensive New Deal govern
ment only week or two. The great bulk
of the taxes must be taken from the labor
of the average man.
In the British House of Commons, in
presenting the new war taxes, Sir Kings
ley Wood, chancellor of the eXchequer,
called attention to the fact that Britain's
taxes now must fall most heavily on the
common man. He declared the govern
ment had nothing against the little man.
although he was being hard hit. The
trouble was, he added that there are not
enough rich men left in the country to
raise the required revenue.
Sir Kingsley declared that if he con-
ficated every salary in the country of
more than 5000 American dollars year,
he would get enough cash to keep the war
going little less than nine days.
No wonder then that the British little
fellow is on the spot. No wonder that
his cost of living is soaring. 1t just could
not be otherwise.
There are still plenty of demagogues
left in the United States who say that
we can spend and spend, and get the
money off the rich. The proposal is just
as idiotic in the United States as it is in
Great Britain. Such lavish squandering
as we have had is not putting humanity
above the dollar 1t is only bending the
back of humanity with tax burden
which it must meet.

NOT DIPLOMATIC
(NeUada State JOurnui)

The occupant of diplomatic position
today, when wars are being waged all
around him, must not only watch his step
but his interviews as we'll and look under
his bed each night for eavesdrOppers who
might hear him muttering in his sleep.
John Cudahy, United States ambassa
dor to Belgium, is on his way home to eX-
plain to Secretary of State Hull why he
told London reporters in an interview that
the United States should feed the hungry
in countries captured by Germany and
why he said publicly that the German
soldiers in the occupied countries are be-
having like gentlemen.
Perhaps the German soldiers, who after
all have been taken from ordinary walks
of life in Germany, do act like gentlemen
and there is no reason why they should
not, because they have no personal quar-
rels with the Belgians.
Perhaps the British blockade will create
a famine in the Nazi-Occupied countries
this winter. That is one of the things that
Hitler assumed when he captured the
countries and undertook to govern them
He claims to have sufficient supplies in
Germany to last him for all time to come
or at least until he can take over or an
nihilate the British isles. He might shift
some of these supplies to the stricken
countries, but he will not.
The situation in Europe is not compa-
rable in many respects to the situation
that existed in the last war when the
plight of the BeligianS was recognized by
this country and famine there was averted
by our Belgian relief work

WHAT OF THE LONG HAUL?

Very few people can find any real,
basic objections to all of the extraordin
ary national defense precautions now
being taken in this country-conscription
war profit laws, expanded income taxa
ton on small wage earners. Most of us
adopt the viewpoint that, what with our
regrettable unpreparedness programs
during the last few years when Hitler
wsS building UP his war machine for all
the world to see, sudden action is now
necessary.
But our real concern should not lie in
the sacrifices we are called upon to make
today. 1t should lie in the future; in the
possibility that all these things will be
kept after the emergency has ceased to
exist; Let's not forget that, in the case of
the federal government, it's easier to get
than TO get rid of.
And let's resolve now that, when the
time comes, we WILL get rid of this bur-
den.

GOODBYE, HELLO, BILL DUNN

Imperal's William S. Dunn, depart
ment commander Of the American Legion
for the past II months, gives way this
week TO his SucceSSor-and Imperial
Valley joins with the Legion's state de-
partment in paying tribute to Bill Dunn
for his service in the cause of American
ISM
The valley is sorry to see Dunn's term
as commander expire, but it is glad he
will be home more often, now that Of
ficial business in Legion affairs is not so
pressing SO in the midst of saying good
bye we say hello" also.
Under Dunn's guidance, the state de
partment has made an enviable record
during the Last year in common-sense
progress towards its twin goals of down
right Americanism and preparedness.
Particularly noteworthy has been the de-
partment's sane approach toward all
problems during days when hysteria has
been the rule rather than the exception.

FEAR OF PRISON
FOR ALIEN CRIMINALS

When Harold Shire, assistant United
States district attorney at Los Angeles,
demanded that Japanese defendants con-
vcted of the Imperial Valley KIDNAPPING
of H. Yamatoda be compelled to serve
prison terms before they are deported to
Japan, he put his finger on one reason
so MANY aliens in this country turn to
crime for livelihood.
They have come to believe that the
worst that will happen to them, even II
they are caught and convicted, will be
that they are deported to their native
countries. And they go on the theory
that any money they may have stored
away in the interim can be used back
home" to keep them in luxury.
A native American, having no place to
be deported to- naturally must serve his
sentence Why should the aliens receive
preferential treatment in this regard?
We Americans, as a whole, are entirely
to inclined to give the aliens break,
even at the expense of our own people.
conduct of relief agencies during recent
years is a good eXample) The fact OF
the matter is that aliens, if anything,
should receive harsher treatment than
native-born persons. For when they en-
gage in crime they are insulting the laws
of the nation that has taken them in, fed
them, clothed them, and treated them
with democratic federation.
America probably has more alien Grim
inals than any other nation in the world.
There is reason. The reason will be re-
moved when we stop pampering aliens.

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
How to Conquer Courteous|y

Even conquest is not what it was
in the old days.
The world isn't getting any more
decent or any more moral, but il
is getting adrned sight slicker
Observe the difference between
conquest 1910 model, and conquest
in the old bad days.
In the o. B. ID. the invading army
marched in, beat the defenders
massacred everybody in sight, stole
everything rcmov,. bic, and went
home, leaving behind a suitable
garrison ana an iron-fisted govern
or.
These matters have been improv-
ed upon in our enlightened age.
Follow the modern procedure:
The invading army marches in,
beats the defenders. SO far it is
all the same. But now it changes
Nobody is maSsacred. Nothing is
stolen. The occupying troops are
polite, not to say courtly They pay
for everything
Now follow closely. They pay with
oPSSidi iiioiity, dil III llilltu up III
the home country for the occasion.
The shopkeeper who sells a pair of
silk stockings to a trooper is paid
in this special money-let's call
'em blitz- dollars.
But the invaded country is still
using its ole traditional money.
People will take blitz- dollars from
the invaders, but not from each
other. So the merchant takes his
accumulated blitZ-dollars to the
national bank of his country, and
says, here, l want old-faShioned
money for these. The bank obligeS,
because it must, at a rate of eX-
change set by the conquerors.
Now watch more closely. The silk
stockings, which are goods ana
therefore valuable, have gone Off
to the country of the invader. All
that the invaded country has to
show for them is certain printed
slips, fast accumulating in the ma
tional bank. If the invaded country
is to get anything valuable back
for the silk stockings, these bitz-
dollars must be capable of being ex-
changed for other goods.
But they aren't, except in the in
vading country So, to get anything
back at all ior the goods bought
and shipped away for blitz- dollars,
the invaded country must buy
something from the invader with
