New York's Example

Citizens vi .eW York State set
the rest of the country good
example early this week in their
march on tue State capital at
Albany in Vigorous protest against
increased taxation. Ike legislature
had set out u aou some considerable
millions 10 the TAX burden OF the
people to the tune OF budget
aggregating 1896, zoo, 00O-and the
revolt came.
There is q,dle spread between
the North Carolina budget OF around
ST5,000.000 a yea and the near 100
millions proposed III New York
State. But the ratio is not vastly
different on per capita basis.
What has happened in the Empire
State may INA 4 counterpart in
other parts OF tie country unless
Lawmakers can be brought to their
senses in the matter OF spending.
Minority pressure groups must be
put in their places and kept there
III the interes; OF the welfare Of the
people as q whole. II deserved bene-
Its are to be realized Reckless
Squanderlng OF the resources Of
citizens must come to an end some
where or lead 10 certain disaster.
A march on Washington in
revolt of the American people
against wild spending might not be
out OF place. 1t is there that the
pace has been set in recent years.
Lavish Federal OUTLAWS for almost
every conceivable purpose. worthy
or otherwise, has shown the way to
states, counties and municipalities.
This spending has spread into chan
nelS hitherto undreamed of as OBJ
jectiveS OF governmental paternal-
ism, and the end is not yet. More
over, it may not be until and unless
there is popular outbreak against
the policy.
Even while the great mass meet
ing of protesting citizens was in
progress in Albany, lasting we'll into
the early evening, the clamor could
still be heard of those groups and
organizations that were demanding
money for this thing and that. They
were having their way with the
legislators until the uprising devel-
oped
1t has seemed 20 make no diff
ference with Lawmakers what the
tax load already is. each succeed
ing session Conrenes only to hear
renewed arguments for some fresh
outlay. 1t IS more money, more
money and more money, and tax
and tax and tax, until private
pocketbooks haze ABOUT been bled
white and already have been raped
OF far greater sums than are justi-
fled by reason and fair play. After
all, those who earn are entitled to
have some part OF their incomes
over and above the bare essentials
of a livelihood. But legislators seem
not to have realized that.
Once elected to office, too. too
many men overlook: the fact that
their obligations are to those who
pay as well as to those who spend
and who receive government bouln-
ties.
What happened in Albany may be
but straw in the wind, but it is at
least that. There is reason to believe
that at long last d tax-weary nation
is beginning to arouse itself and ask
questions and make demands in its
own behalf. II the only way to stop
foolish spending is a tax revolt. then
such an uprising is long overdue.
New York has set the example. The
rest of the country will 90 well to
follow in its train.

An Expert
Appraises
The War
Nv j, w, T. MASON

reports from LONDON now are
suggesting that Great Britain's
confidence in victory does not de-
pend on starving the German
people next winter into capitula-
ton. The British censor has passed
a dispatch stating 1t Is doubted
that the food blockade would prove
to be a vital factor in winning the
war"
The implication is that Great
Britain thinks 1t possible that Ger
many can obtain sufficient food
from conquered territory to elimi-
nate an extreme condition of
hunger next winter among the
German people. regardless of what
happens to the captive popula-
tions. This belief follows closely
upon recent statements by British
leaders that Great Britain Is pre-
pairing soon to develop offensive
warfare since no conflict can be
won solely by defensive means.
Takes Offensive
The British fleet now is operat-
ing extensively in its blockade ac-
tivities but more than that may
be essential To win the war for
Britain. The blockade Is reducing
Germany's food supplies despite
seizures by Germany of conquered
harvests. and to this extent Great
Britain Is counting on keeping
German morale below normal.
However, 1t will be necessary
for further offensive strokes to be
developed against the totalitarian
powers. A military invasion would
seem TO be as improbable for the
British as for the Germans.
II Il possible that war de-
velopments In the Balkans
may involve RUSSIA, and Ger
many may find herself en-
gagged In a conflict 10 the east
and southwest; hut Great
Britain cannot count too much
on that contingency.
Rather. II would seem that the
British expect to take the Of
fensive in the air British airplane
production plus purchases in
America are said in London to
give Great Britain a parity with
German output. The British have.
stated that soon the number of
their planes will begin to surpass
the German. and next year they
will have a large superiority.
Foresees Long War
The Italian newspaper comment
again today predicts that the war
will be long. II 1t goes far into
next year, there is little reason
10 doubt the British claim that
with increasingly large purchases
in America. Britain's air fleet may
outnumber the German. Then. Ger
many will be bombarded with in
creasing intensity while the British
expect Hitler will be unable TO
retaliate in great force. The Brit
ish seem to be counting on this
new war development, coupled
with German food shortages,
though not actual starvation, to
withdraw victory from Hitler's
hands.

Purse Bandit
Strikes Twice
After-Theuter
Thief Is Active

An "after-theater" bandit who
stole the purses of two women after
following them Saturday night was
the object of a continued police
search Monday.
Mrs. ]. stojack. 5644 So. Adams
at: Miss Estella Vane, 6014 So.
Warner St. and Miss Elodia Prince,
visiting with Miss Vane from Mil
waukee, were the victims. Only
Mrs. Stojack and Miss vane lost
their purses to the young bandit,
who evidently followed them from
theaters.
Overlooked Change
Mrs. Stojack. returning home
with her two small children from a
theater, neared So. seth ST. short
distance west of the railroad tracks
when she was accosted. The young
man jabbed an instrument that felt
like gun against her back and
commanded her TO drop that
purse" She did. and he fled. The
purse was found later, minus So
bill, but still containing about 81
in change, keys and other belong
ings.
About 11:05 p. m. half an hour
later, Miss Vane and Miss Prince
were accosted on So. 60th between
So. Warner st. and Puget Sound
ave. Miss Vane felt her purse
jerk as a mans voice said stick
'em up" She wheeled and struck
the bandit in the face, but he
pulled the purse away and ran.
Money, Ring Gone
She lost the purse, found later
near 62nd st. and South Tacoma
way with a bunch of keys intact,
about 81 in change and an opal
ring valued at $50 to the footpad.
The women described him as being
about 20. hatless. with neatly
combed hair. dark suit. about
five feet four inches tall. and
weighing 100 pounds.
