Demoefocy's Purpose

1HAT is why the purpose of any
effective long-range preparedness plan
for the United States must coincide
with the purpose of democracy itself:
a fuller. richer life for all Americans,
regardless of class. race or creed.
Democracy hasn't made us soft. Far
from it. it's given us the spiritual and
material strength we need to build a
strong defense. We have our handi-

unemployment and disease. Here is an
axis triumvirate which makes silent,
unceasing war on our people, infiict-
ing losses in disability and premature
deaths estimated at ten billion dollars
year.
The democracy-baiters like to argue
that an excessive standard of material
well-being has softened our morale.
Yet about half of the physical defects
that disqualify young men for armed
service trace back, as one physician
put it, to defects in the family in
come" Government and private sur
veys show that large proportion of
our population, perhaps a third, re-
ceives incomes that are not sufficient
to maintain a minimum standard of
healthy living. Among families with
incomes of under ST 900, disease takes
far greater toll in death and disa-
bility than among the rest of the popu-
lation. Instead of bemoaning an ina
ginary excess of material well-being,
our democratic responsibility is to
spread the minimum essentials of
healthy living to all Americans.
These are times to try mems bodies
as well as their souls. Physical stamina
is required of our civilian population
as well as of the men we are now train
ing in arms. Industry is working under
high pressure and the movement of
large bodies of men from one part of
the country to another demands a
healthy capacity for physical read
justment. The rapidity and efficiency
of our whole preparedness effort de-
pends ultimately on the health of our

The reason for this is that the cloth in

It was way back in 1913 that Singh
first impaired these valuable pointers
to the movie moguls. He had been
squirming inwardly every time he saw
a screen player wearing the wrong
type of turban. When he couldn't stand
it any longer, he went to the produc-
ton heads at Universal Studios and
informed them that as they were just
about to begin shooting on one of their
super-colossals they might as well learn
the truth about turbans. Careful inves-
tigation proved that young Singh was
telling the truth and that he knew his
twists, so he was promptly put under
contract as technical adviser. Since
then. he has acted in this capacity for
all the major studios.

Legislature Opens
Second Half OF
Busiest Season
Bill Cutting Income Tax
And State Guard Measure
Among Many Passed

The Maryland Legislature this
week began the second half Of
what gives every promise of being
a record-breaking session in many
ways. Oldtimers are agreed that
more actual results have been ac-
complished in the first half of the
session than has been the case up
to the final week of many previous
gatherings of the General AS
Isembly.
Among the accomplishments to
date is the passage of Governor
O'Conor's tax bill, providing for
cuts in the income tax levy up to
20 per cent, affecting everyone of
the 90-odd thousands who are ex-
pected to file returns, and reducing
by successive stages the real estate
tax from it's present 23.35c levy of
21c per hundred. With the income
tax reductions retroactive, to in
clude payments due March Is, the
sum total of the reductions pro-
posed by Governor O'Conor and ap-
proved by both Houses and the
Assembly, is expected to save the
taxpayers in excess of $5,000,, 900
during the coming three years.
Among the 81 measures to which
Governor O'Conor affixed his sigma
ture on last Friday was Senate
Bill No. 38, to authorize establish
ment Of State Guard to replace
the National Guard which is now in
the Federal service. 1t is expected
that organization of this new force
will be begun in the near future.
