The said bill as You know, ri

Dear Friends:
This Acknowledges your letter
Of June II.
I regret that | am unable to
agree to support the anti-poll tax
bill. This measure. in my opin-
ion, is in conflict with the pro-
visions Of our Federal Constitu-
ton. 1t is a matter for states to
determine themselves what shall
be the requirements or voting
privileges on the part of its citl-
zens.
II the people of Arkansas do
not want poll tax, they can re-
peal the present law. It is not
the prerogatiye Of the Federal
Government TO dictate to the sew
eral states in matters OF this
character. The poll tax law in
Arkansas can be repealed by
either the State Legislature or BY |
the people themselves through an |
initiated act.
| am very glad you wrote me, |
and with kindest personal re-
CARDS, I am
Sincerely yours,

the fact that the deep underlying
cause OF war is the fact that the
world is made up Of ''have" and
have not" nations. Certainly the
have-not nations cannot be pei
mitted to reach out and grab the
things they need by means Of
force, robbery and murder But
we must face the fact that we must
forever be prepared to police the
world to keep them from it, or be
willing to share some OF what we
have for the sake of keeping peace
and avoiding future destruction
1t will be difficult tc share with
our enemies. But sorie time or
other we will have to sit down
calmly and talk about these
things as we have talked about
exchanging wounded prisoners. 1t
is hopeful that SO many people all
over the world now recognize this.
During the last war the belief pre-
vailed until the end that getting
the Kaiser" would settle every
thing. Hitler is more cordially
hated in this war than the Kaiser
was in the last. but very few in
deed believe now that the end OF
Hitler would bring an end to all
the problems that made this war.

if It is possible for rations at
war to reach an accord on a ques-
ton like this during the conflict.
why is it not possible to reach an
accord on bigger questions before
war starts that would prevent
these prisoners and millions Of
others from being wounded. and
killed! When someone finds the
answer to that there will be no
more wars. Perhaps we are OH the
way to finding it.
This war is being fought over
mineral resources and the United
States will ind itself among the
"have-not" nations in another 20
years, p. {. Allen. former deputy
chief of Iron and Steel Produc
ton Board. told the American
Statistic Association in Cleveland
last week.
He should know what he is talk
ing about. but whether he does or
does not. the fact that a man o;
standing can make statement
like that in time OF war indicates 5
that we are looking beyond the
war and trying to see clearly the
things that may prevent another
war. During the last war very
little attempt was made to see
past the belief that the war was
due to the innate rottenness OF
our enemies and the righteous
ness OF our allies. Vet Japan and
Italy were our allies then.
Now we are beginning to face

NEW CASTLE, PA.
By Henry and Paul.

New Castle, Pa, Dec. 9-Last
weekend was rather uncventful in
New Castle as the Juniors didn't
seem to get together much. We
had meeting last Wednesday
and the turnout was not bad.
Don't forget to turn in your
money and unsold dance tickets
to Doris Hietsch as soon as you
can as we would like to know the
profit or loss.
Don't forget kids that they still
have dances at the G.B.U.. SO let
us ali get together and dance our
troubles and sorrows away.
Two of the New Castle wolves
went to Cleveland last week and
had a swell time. The music We
danced to at the East Club sound
ed like the old bands that loungs-
town used TO have without decora-
tions. The wolves would like 10
thank the Schmidt family for putt.
ing them up for the evening and
showing tsuch good hospitality.
Orchids also go to Elsie andAndy
for the ride. and to Gertie and
Hilda for showing us such swell
time. If you want to know how to
ride streetcars take a lesson from
us. How about it. Gertie:
Christmas will soon be here
and with it a holiday season. Ii
would be nice if one of the Saxon
organizations would hold some
sort of a shindig. We could ther.
get together and have some fun.
Give it some thought and until
then Auf Wiedersehen!
