Gousins Detroit Again

DETROIT taxpayers are sending about S5OOOO0O
II year into the rural of Michigan to guarantee
good schools and qualified teachers.
Ungratefuly, the Michigan Educational Association
now schemes to grab between 100000 and SS0O0OOO
annually from this city
Detroit hasn't been complaining much about the bur-
dens imposed upon in the past Once the rural Legis-
laure established the principle that ii the duty of the
metropolis extend financial aid TO its outsate neghbors,
We accepted the decision
WITHOUT resentment every home in the city has
w tributed through the sales to the aid of the
thousands of schools lining the roads from Lake Erie to
Superior.
But Detroit struggling with tremendous local debt,
cannot increase share of the load We cannot permit
the Michigan Educational Association to strip our hard
pressed taxpayers of dollars that needed badly here
Fortunately, many rural legislators, mbued with
of Justice have joined Wayne County IN Its effort
to ward off the attack of the MEA.
DR.. Eugene B. Elliott superintendent of public IN
struction has enlisted the side of the metropolis His
proposal cannot be called exactly square deal but it is
much fair than the rural attempt to grab everything
possible from Detroit and give the city nothing.
n OUGHLY the situation is ths-at present, the state
N collects about S14500OOO from Detroit for school
purposes and returns S95O0000 to the local Board of
Education
The MEA proposes to take about S17,OOOOOO a
year from the city and REDUCE DETROlTS SHAKE
Doctor Elliotts compromise proposal would cost De-
trot taxpayers about ST 100000 but the city would get
back about S1l 100000
The money-grab scheme of the MEA will be debated
in the House tomorrow
The compromise measure is in committee in the
Senate and is expected reach the floor within week.
The of distributing the money is a complicated
formula that the lawmakers understand only vaguely
However the wording of the formula is not important
The only matter of Importance the result in dollars and
cents
Having approved the theory that Michigan is big
family with neighbory responsibilities between the coun
ties it time that the Legislature quit viewing Detroit

try because they wanted TO, but
because they had to go some
where in a hurry and America
was the most convenient.
The hot breath of an old
country bailiff on the back of
the neck was responsible for
many of our pioneers and hence
for some of our most dis
tinguished citizens.
We believe it is no secret that
among our early settlers were
some high class scallawags who
were lammasters from other
scenes. but whose descendants
now take great pride in the fact
that their families have been in
this country a long time.
IN THE other hand, a large
" number of those who arrived
here generations after the first
corners, came of their own Volt
ton because they saw in the
new country a land of promise
and of opportunity.
That many of these were. and
are. simple people of the soil and
of the factories rather than of
the first families of their home
land is probably what made
America. They became citizens
by design and it seems to us
that this kind are entitled to
even more credit than those OF
us who are citizens by teh acci-
dent of birth.
1t is the boast of our old fami-
lies that their ancestors fought
in the Revolution and in the
War of 1912. and we would deny
them none of their pride on that
account.
But some of our quiet new
families can tell of members
who died at Chateau Thierry
and in the Argonne and on the
MeuSe.
And old and new, most of our
American families can now
speak of their men folks who
once again mobilize in the cause
of which, whether of nearly 300
years roofing in this ground, or
of but yesterday, we are all one
freedom.

Art FIourishes Only
In Liber+y's Soil
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

IN FIFTEEN years this man,
L with his Sons of Liberty,
turned the colonists away from
loyalty TO King George to be his
sworn enemies. Sam taught
these Sons of Liberty-fearless
fellows, in the main-how to do,
out in the open, fifth column
work that makes our fifth col
umnists today look somewhat
tame.
They terrorized the crown Of
ficers night and day. They
hanged all British officials in
effigy. But they were the nu-
cleus of the Continental Army.
Sam was a Harvard man and
was governor of Massachusetts.
He had but one idea in his life
that was to found a democratic
America.
He died in 1903. He was a
Jeffersonian. When jefferson
was elected in 1900 he said,
The storm is over. We are in
port"
Among other names, he was
known as The Devil" For so
he appeared to the English and
the American Tories. This
devil had the Continental Con-
gress in Philadelphia pass an act
forbididng army officers from
playing cards. dancing, attend
ing parties and flirting. This
even caused Washington to emit
one of his rare belly-laughs.
A queer fellow. A necessary
fellow in all revolutions. A
saint" and a devil" But he did
his job, for the Lord moves in
mysterious ways his wonders to-
perform-and Sam Adams was
one of his ways.

Na+uraIized Americans
Good as Mayf|o1er Type
BY DAMON RUNYON

WE READ a statement by
w lady the other day in which
she undertakes TO make some
thing of the fact that she is an
American in the ninth genera
ton, meaning that her family
has been in this country a long
time.
We think too many people
assume that because their pro-
genitors happened to make these
shores away back yonder that
their Americanism is particu-
larly highly developed and spe-
cialized and entities them TO
consideration above the compar-
atively Johnny-come-latelys.
Well, of course the truth OF
the matter is that the American
whose citizenship is as of just
last week has equal rights in
every way with the old aged-in-'
the-Plymouth Rock variety. and
may, indeed, be a better Ameri-
can because he or she has a
keener appreciation of the
American privileges to which
the vintage American, through
long association, has become in
different.
We notice that the American
expatriates who have been living
in foreign lands and looking
down their patrician noses at
the home country TO which they
have come skittering back like
a lot of frightened tumblebugs
enquire around about the pur-
suits of the tumblebug, will
your are mostly of ancient
American lineage.
Their forebears made their
dough in this country and the
descendants moved abroad to
spend it.
WE HAVE seldom heard of an
w American expatriate who
was an American by naturaliza-
ton and of few who were
Americans in the first or second
generation.
Maybe that is because il takes
quite a number of generations
to pile up enough moo in this
country TO make a high class
eXpatriate,
But it is our guess that a
stronger reason is that as long
as the naturalized parents or
grandparents of a generation
are alive they do not permit the
young 'uns to forget that this is
a little bit the best place on the
face of the earth to live.
1t is only long after the teach
ings of the old folks have been
forgotten that we get expatri-
ates.
AS you know. there is no such
thing as a.strictly North Ameri-
can race. bar the Indians. We
all go back to roots in some
other country.
We are English, French, Ger
man. Italian, Scandinavian. or
what-not at the roots. There
fore the old-family boast has
always struck us as an idle one.
as far as America is concerned.
Some just got here before
others, that is all. and if some
of the old families examined
into the reasons for their found
ers getting here first they would
not brag.~
IF YOU dig back into the his
L tories of some of our old
families you will discover in
many instances that the orig
inals did not come to this coun-
