TAXING SMALLER INCOMES

Over million new persons will be
added to the revised tax rolls. and
just how the majority of these 2
million new persons are going to
arrange to dip into their meager
wages for Federal income taxes is
something that the statesmen don't
seem to be thinking about.
If there is any good reason for re-
ducing exemptions it hasn't been
convincingly stated in either branch
of Congress. AS matter Of fact the
lawmakers seem to be taking mon

THE U. 8. ON GUARD
By ]. E. Jones

When President Roosevelt made
his demands upon our Nation for
immediate preparedness to resist in
vasion Of the Western Hemisphere,
he said that this country should have
$4,000 planes year. The American
aviation industry has produced a
total of about $4,000 planes during
its lifetime of little more than 80
years. Henry Ford has said that his
company could make a thousand
planes day.
1t develops that Germany took
some pages out of democracy's book
achievements in mass production"
and attained a record capacity OF
$4,000 planes year. At the same
time Germany produced thousands
of tanks and vast quantities OF
mechanical machinery for war. The
World has been stunned and amazed
by Germany's terrific-eficiency.
In the meantime France followed
popular front government, and
nationalized aircraft and other fac
tories ''to take the profit out of war;.
England was doing only about half
a job in producing planes. Neither
Government seemed to be meeting
the threatening challenge by the
Germans.
Within recent days our country
has voted billions of dollars to pre-
vent or meet invasion of the United
States and the Republics of the
Western Hemisphere. That is why
aircraft has suddenly become CEN
trail need of preparedness. Leaders in
industry, like Stettinius and Knud-
sen, have been summoned to the SER
vice of the Government to weld the
efforts of private industry and bust
ness with Government and military
leadership. When America faces
danger all Americans lay aside their
differences and unite in support of
the common cause. That is where We
are at today. A few weeks ago the
National Capital was split into politi-
cal pieces. Leaders quarreled about
domestic and foreign affairs and
policies. Now, Army, Navy and Air
power are being increased. Men are
training for war.
The automobile and airplane fac
tories, and all manufacturing insti-
buttons, are preparing to go into
production of planes, tanks, arms,
ammunition, and all other instru-
ments necessary to protect this
country against any possible attack.
1t is true. that there is confusion
n WashingtOn--plenty Of it--but
there is singleness of purpose in
respect to defending America that
IS supported by all political parties,
groups and factions. The challenge
must be met by American states
manship and by American citizens.
The Government of the United States
IS preparing for the worst, while
noping that our own peace-loving
people will not become involved in
the Worlds catastrophy.

Government, you may think, is
the greatest distributor of largesse
to the needy--the agency that keeps
things going in times of stress.
If you do think that, here are some
figures that will startle you. From
1898 to 1898 government spent
$4,000, 100000 for relief. And, in
the same period of time, the life
insurance industry paid $16,0O0,-
100000 to its clients. And very
large proportion of that money went
to people who, without it, would
have had to apply for relief or char
ity.
Private enterprise still turns the
nations economic wheels--in good
times or bad.

This Fifth Column takes in nuts

Martin Dies, Congressman from
Texas, has been telling the people
of our country for more than two
years that there are groups within
our borders seeking the destruction
of their Government. Even President
Roosevelt scoffed at the Dies Com
mittee and suggested to Congress
that it refuse appropriations to
continue the Congressional investi-

Hornets Beat Myrtle
Hall For 3rd Straight

Making 13 points in the first
tive minutes of playing time, the
Hornets of Mound Bayou took on
Myrtle Hall to a tune of 1877.
The kick off went to Spears on
the 40 YARD line from which point
he placed it on the so. On the LIST
play Pops" Thomas broke away
through tackle for As yards and
stopped on the S yard line. Presly
went over for the lst score and
extra point. Myrtle Hall received
the second kick off deep in their
end zone and were held for 4
downs. Presley then passed to
Spears who galloped across for
the second score. No more points
were MADE because Myrtle Hall
substituted a complete backfield
and used college men who had
been sent home from school. After
much argument the Mound Bayou
boys walked off the field with
1877 lead. Myrtle Hall refused to
play the game fair.
On November FL, the Hornets

JUDGE HARVEY johnson
HAS RECORD OF ACHIEVE
MENT IN NATIVE STATE

Judge Harvey johnson, member
of the Nebraska Supreme Court,
has a record of achievement in his
native state perhaps unexcelled by
any of the thousands of citizens
who have sought to serve the peo-
pie in public office.
Without the ballyhoo of paid
press agents this Nebraskan, born
in Hastings a years ago, has stead
lily climbed from the ranks of the
people to the states high court be-
cause of his intimate knowledge
of law and his diligence in keeping
the State Bar Association men,
bers on a high and creditable plane
when he was it's secretary for II
years and president for a year in
1888.
Judge johnson, now a candidate
for the office he has efficiently adj
ministered, graduated from the
University of Nebraska Law School
in 1919. While at the University
he served for three years as secre-
tary to Chief Justice Morrissey. He
came to Omaha in 1920 and became
a member of the firm of Hall,
Young and johnson, resigning in
1881 to become General Counsel for
the Federal Land Bank, now the
FCA. In 1884 he resigned to en-
ter private practice until appointed
in November 1888 to the Supreme
Court.
His remarkable career, included
five years as an instructor in the
College of Law at Creighton Uni
versity.
His brilliant record as an unus-
ually able lawyer holds the highest
regard of the leaders of his prof
ession.
