Daily Prayer
FOR OTHER-MINDEDNESS

In the marvellous mystery of the
truth that Thou, o Infinite Father,
carest for each individual creature
of Thine, we would find incentive
to concern ourselves with the needs
Of others. Grant us, we pray, the
God-like quality of altruism. AS
Thou lowest all whom Thou hast
made, so may our love and loyalty
expand beyond our own personal
interests. Forgive us for our sins
Of self-centeredness and self en-.
grossment, which have made us
blind to the needs of those about
US. We would remember, even be-
fore we pray for ourselves, all the
men in service, with their peculiar
temptations, burdens and oppor-
tunitles. Nor would we forget their
weary-hearted loved ones at home
or those who suffer special depri-
walton because of the war. So
would our supplication reach out
10 the worldwide victims of war.
Our needs are so puny as com,
pared with theirs: we would pray
with all our hearts for them.
Lord, teach us to pray" in Jesus
fashion, for believers yet unborn,
upon whom Thou art laying the
task of bringing in Thy Kingdom.
This we ask in the name of the
selflesS Saviour, Amen,-W.T.E

Railway Performance

Government operation of railroads in the
former World war is generally conceded n
have been dismal failure. Thus far in the
present global war the country's railroad
transportation system, under its own Steam
and with private operation and initiative. has
met the demands made upon it by the war
effort
This is vouched for by the Board Of Inves-
tigation and Review, appointed under h e
Transportation act of 1910. ''Prior tn tho
war;" the board reports, ut was feared that
transportation plants had been built bevond
any requirements, but this so-called srrnl,,s
has proved life-saver. Without it the com.
try would have been in desperate position. :"
Basing its observations on the boards re-.
port, the New York Herald Tribune savs.
This is interesting as far as it goes. But
1t is pretty routine statement of fact II
doesn't even hint at the real story Of tho
transportation miracle of 194O-,43 which ;s :.

'overbuilt, 'overcapitalized' 'outmoded' and

the railroads has come back in World War TT
to show those upstart new competitors of the
last 20 years who is top dog when it comes
to handling a really big traffic Job

board, for example, the carriers stepped in
when the U-boat struck down the coastwjse

vital traffic from 10000 barrels day to L.

best, taxes are not raised easily
in a democracy. Candidates who
promise lower taxes are likely to
be more popular with the voters.
Those responsible for higher taxes
become easy targets for the po-
litical hokum of INSCRIPTIONS and
irresponsible opponents.
Republicans don't intend to be
caught asleep on this. A political
campaign is coming next year and
the Republicans are behaving so
that nobody can accuse them of
having anything to do with high
taxes.
Republican members of the
House Ways and Means commit
tee banded together in state
ment opposing additional a xe S.
They are against the sales tax as
well as increased income taxes.
Democrats on the committee say
that it will be almost impossible
for any tax increase to 60 through
in face of this solid Republican
opposition.
The Republicans made it mat
ter of party policy through the en-
dorsement of the Republican lead
err of the House, Rep. Joseph w.
Martin, who called for further
economies before higher taxes are
demanded.
With the Republican demand for
economy, for curbing wastefulness
in the government, there can be
only the strongest support f r o m
anybody who sees his money being
thrown around like water in some
places in Washington. Everybody
seems to be on the federal payroll.
Some of the agencies are cluttered
with people who are hard put to
think up work for themselves. The
arsenal of bureaucracy still is in
tact. One of the most useful func-
tons of an opposition is to prevent
government waste.
The Republican demand for re-
duction of waste would carry
more force if it were not SO crudely
used as an alibi for ducking the
unpleasant duty of voting higher
taxes.
Republicans miss the real point
either deliberately or through ig-
norance. Even if Rep. Taber's op-
timistic estimate of $4,000,000, 900
in economies proved out, tn
would not remove the need for
higher tax revenue and particu-
larly for a sales tax.
This business has two aspects.
One is the necessity of holding
down the public debt which is 1913
billion dollars and threatens to 20
to 300 by the end of the war.
Every possible economy is desir-
able. Also the maximum Federal
revenue is desirable.
Equally important - perhaps
even more SO in the long runs
the danger of uncomfortable infla-
ton. That requires ruthless tax
alton to hold down Individual
spending. The Republican econo-
my program does not meet that
need. We need not only govern
ment economy, We need Individual
private economy that will Ike
surplus family money out of circu-
lation and stop the scramble of
the householder for the scarce
goods.
Even though middle bracket in
come taxes seem high, reaching
Is per cent at $4,000, retail stores
show there is enormous spending
money in the country. Sales taxes
are needed. AS Rep. Monroney of
Oklahoma tells the House WAYS
and Means committee, it is DOS
slDle to provide sales tax exemp-
tons for the very lowest income

AS Others Say It
SIZING UP PUBLIC OPINION

A conspicuous and exceedingly
individualistic publisher of an east
ern city sometimes DISCUSSES him
self by putting on pair of dark
glasses and allowing himself to
be led around by a Seeing Eye
dog. In this way he can stray
into groups, listen to their con-
versation and size up public opin-
ion without being recognized.
One one occasion he stopped in
at place where young women
were serving drinks, and passed
out the conventional compliments
to the girl who waited on him.
