Mr.. Hurt's Offer

William Shakespeare Hart, veteran
stage and screen star of genera
ton ago, has announced that he will
give to the American people his ranch
at NeWhall, about 80 miles from Hol-
lywood. The property is known as
the Hill of the Winds and includes
300 acres and a number of pic
turesque buildings. It is the owners
hope that it may be preserved and
developed as a museum of the Old
West whose interpreter he was.
Many other men played cowboy
roles to the satisfaction of world
wide public, but Mr. Hart perhaps
will be remembered as the most
notably convincing of the lot. He
was tall, raw-boned, seemingly de-
signed to wear chaps and a sombrero,
to ride unbroken ponies, to flash
prodigious "shootin irons," to fit into
the plains and the desert and to rep
resent the principle of heroic justice
on the frontier. His tight, thin
Tipped mouth and his bright, sharp
eyes were significant Of what mil
lions of his contemporaries liked to
believe authentic Western chivalry
must be. ~: -:
Mr.. Hart, however, was born at
Newburgh On the Hudson River IA

No Longer Necessary

The reason pleasure driving is be-
ing forbidden, instead of cutting
down on gasoline rations again, is
that many A card holders depend on
automobiles to get to work in war
plants To cut their rations would
retard war work The ban on pleas
ure driving is tough, but it is neces-
sary and in view of the fuel oil
shortage it should be cheerfully
supported as a small, If annoying,
sacrifice.
But how long will our municipal
authorities complacently insist that
the system of automobile inspections,
inaugurated under conditions no
longer prevailing, must continue?
Are private citizens to give up every
thing, while the public authorities
insist on retaining everything? The
Star was consistent advocate and
supporter of the annual inspection
OF automobiles in peacetime. A re-
turn to normal driving conditions
would find The Star in the same
role. But what justification re-
mains now, when all but essential

PeriIous Frontier

In the old days the frontier was a
place of peril. In addition to the
obstacles of nature it swarmed with
Indians, highWaymen, crooked gam
blers. claim jumpers, tWo-gun toters
and the like. It was every man for
himself, with no law west of the
Pecos. Yet, to hear old timers talk
about it, it must have been wonder
full. Almost invariably they regret
it's passing, and wish that by some
magic it could return.
They will be glad to note, then,
that the frontier is still on the job
as a place of peril, or at least that
limited portion running between
Quebec apd Vermont plumb through
the center of Frank Archambault's
border store. The proprietor discov-
cred the danger when he thought
lessly moved fountain pens from one
counter to another, and was prompt
ly picked up by the Mounties for the
crime Of smuggling American goods
into Canada. The average man
might think that the authorities
were more guilty of juggling inter-
pretations than the proprietor was Of
smuggling pens, but that does not
matter. The pens were seized, prov
ing that the law is mightier than the
pen and that tape is red wherever
you find it.

shall not live by bread alone" as when on
repeated occasions he gave value to
what men had regarded as of little worth.
To Him human personality stood higher
than all other values. When it was
abused, mistreated, underrated, He con-
demned it in strongest terms.
Are We not today being compelled to
a new appraisal of the basic values of
life? Are we alive to the fact that sud-
denly there has been forced upon us a
realization of the wrong appraisals we
have employed? Are we as yet too dull
and stupid to realize that something
terribly tragic has happened to our
world, and that many of our time-hon-
ored methods and systems are under
going tremendous changes? Silver and
gold have their place in our economy
and will continue to do so, but other and
indispensable values that we have re-
luctantly recognized must be brought
back before we shall again enjoy nor
NAL living. God is calling a lame and
impoverished world to stand up and
walk; to recognize that moral and
spiritual values are greater than all its
coveted material wealth, its, proud and
at times arrogant institutions. He is
solemnly calling it to fresh recognition
of the ancient word that "a man is of
more worth than a sheep" that gold
and silver are wholly inadequate to
maintain an orderly and peaceful world.
Some day the guns will be silenced and
the wearied embattled hosts will struggle
back to their depleted and devastated
countries to begin again the work of
rehabilitation. What new conditions
will they face? What new standards of
living will they find? Many voices are
seeking even now, to forecast the kind of
world that is to be. In this new world
youth will have voice, for upon youth
the burden of conflict has fallen. Youth
has paid the price and it knows what
that price is in blood and sweat and
tears. The old molds by which we have
fashioned much that we have regarded
as representative of wealth and prosper
ity will be shattered, let us make no mis-
take about this. New standards of ap-
praisal are in the making. Greater than
the gold and silver we have so laboriously
piled up will be the new moral and
spiritual values that will determine our
fitness to survive. Upon these values
and upon no other will peaceful world
be secured.

New York and was a successful clas-
sic actor long before he ever thought
Of cowboy characterizations. He
toured with Helena Modjeska, Julia
Arthur and other celebrated artists
of the "palmy days" of the legiti-
mate theater until 1914. 1t was his
portrayal of Cash Hawkins in "The
Squaw Man" that gave him type"
pattern for which he soon was
famous in the silent movies. One
film drama followed another as rap
idly as production arrangements
permitted until 1925. Possibly, his
finest achievement was in "The
Aryan,". picture in which he had
the help of Bessie Love, then only
winsome and beautiful child, yet a
player of great natural distinction.
Other vehicles were: wild Bill
Hickok," 1.-The Tiger Man." Wagon
Tracks" "The Narrow Trail" Sand"
and "Tumbleweeds." His horses,
Fritz and Paint, he described as
"co-stars, and they deserved such
recognition.
In retirement Mr.. Hart has writ
ten attractively of Western events
and personalities. His home in the
Tehachipi Mountains is filled with
the relics of his career, including his
costumes, boots, saddles, guns-and
thousands of letters from fans who
made him happy with their COM

STANDARDS OF VALUE
By the Right ReU JAMES FREEMAN, D., ILL., D., C. L.,
Bishop WASHINGTON

What shift in value we are Witness
ing today. The gold standard, for the
while is out. One country after an
other has abandoned it. While We of
America have more of this precious
metal than any other nation, it is of
little value to us for the present. Even
as low grade a metal as copper has
more value for military purposes than
gold, and for nickel We are employing
new and cheaper substitutes. The val
ues we have SO long cherished are suf-
fering great changes. We are getting a
new understanding of what constitutes
the real and essential values of life.
Goods and materials, food and pro-
visions for the sustenance of vast num-
bers of the peoples of the earth, these
we have come to reckon with as indis-
pensable; as transcending the metals
that hitherto we thought Of as the
evidences of prosperity and security. .
There is an incident recorded in the
New Testament that is highly suggestive
Of our present situation. 1t is common
place, but of deep significance Two men,
disciples of Christ, were entering the
temple to worship when at its very gate
way they were accosted by beggar,
man lame from his birth, who begged
of them aims. Evidently he had long
occupied his Wretched place, seeking
from those who came to the temple some
gift, coin that might give to him the
food which his undernourished body
needed. He belonged to the great un-
derprivileged class common to every
city. Arrested by his plaintive appeal,
Peter and John stood for a moment to
recognize his importunacy. They them
selves were poor men, but conscious of
power the beggar little suspected. Pres
emily Peter said to him: "Silver and gold
have I none, but such as I have give 1
of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he
took him by the right hand and lifted
him up, and Immediately his feet and
ankle bones received strength"
A miracle, yes, by our reckoning a
miracle but a miracle that in many forms
has been repeated throughout life. With
out the means commonly recognized as
essential lame and impotent beggar
received a gift greater than he had asked.
What silver and gold could not do the
power Of vital faith accomplished. A
new value found expression. 1t was in
consonance with Christ's word: Man

Pay. as You Go

1t would be unwise, perhaps, to ex-
pect too much in the way of tangible
results from the Presidents indorse-
ment of the y-as-you-go principle
of income tax payment, but it is en-
couraging to learn that he fully
approves the underlying purpose Of
this proposal.
Basically, all the pay-as-you-go
plans are intended to get the income
tax payer out of debt to the Gov
ernment, and there is almost uni
versal agreement on the desirability
of finding some means of accom-
plishing this. The disagreement,
apparently, relates only to method.
The plan which has received the
most general support is that ad-
vanced by Beardsley Ruml, New York
Federal Reserve Bank official. Under
his proposal, the taxpayer, who is
now paying taxes on the previous
years income out Of the current
years earnings, would be brought up
to date by having the Government
skip" one years levy. The Presi-
dent did not commit himself on this
plan, but implied disapproval on the
theory that ultimately the Govern
ment would lose revenue through its
adoption. There are those who dis
agree with this assumption. but even
if the President is right there GER
tainly would be no immediate decline
in revenue and any loss that might
result would be spread over the life
times of all present taxpayers. In
view of the fact that the Govern
ment, and not the taxpayer, is
responsible for adoption of the pres
ent undesirable system, this would
seem no more than reasonable sac
rifice for the Treasury to make. An
other objection has, been that some
taxpayers would get a "break" If
their incomes during the skipped
year happened to be greater than in
the year when the catch-up tax
should be levied. At time when
incomes are stable or rising through
out the country this objection would
seem to have little merit, but even SO
it could be met by requiring all per-
sons to pay taxes on the larger of the
two incomes.
There are, OF course, other ques-
tions and objections, but none Of
them seems to be insurmountable.
They can be overcome If the will to
overcome them is present, and since
all parties seem to be agreed on the
principle it is to be hoped that Con-
gress and administration tax experts
will give the matter serious atten-
ton during the preparation of the
new revenue bill
1t seems evident that we are going
into a period of continued high
taxes. Unless something is done to
put taxes on a current basis, largely
payable at the source, the Govern
ment is going to lose more money
through defaults and in collection
costs over a period Of time than it
is apt to lose through adoption of
the Ruml or any other pay-as-you-
90 proposal.

 IL is known, however. that a de- featist block in Chungking has been eXerting pressure to make a "rea- sonable. deal with Japan. Japanese propagandists have been fostering this movement with every available means. Not the least effective of their agreements is the comparative triekle Of supplies which has reach ed China from her Allies since the Burma road was closed.
 The failure of the British offen- sive in Burma has also been utiliz- ed by the Japanese. They constantly harp on the thesis that China has been virtually abandoned by her Allies, and is the orphan of the United Nations.
 The action of the U. s. and Brit ain in renouneing extra-territorial privileges in China helped to coun- teract such propaganda and gave China some measure Of recognition. One remaining barrier to amity and understanding between China and the U. s. is the exclusion law, in effect since 1882. By inference, it says the Chinese are less desirable than immigrants from other na- tions.

WASHINGTON Working news papermen are betting that most fu- ture mistakes at the Office of War Information will De killed before they happen. Reason: Ep Hoyt, the new domestic director, is a tough, smart ex-copy reader.
 Copy desk men are the unsung editors who make newspapers make sense. They edit the copy turned in by reporters and mercilessly whaek out errors and personal opinions.
 It's been the consensus of capital seribes that OWL releases were long on enthusiasm and opinion and short on tight editing by a tough copy reader like Ep Hoyt. West Coast newspapermen who know Hoyt say the pamphlet Battle Sta ttons for All" for which OWI apol- ogized, would never have passed his gimlet eye.
 Hoyt is now publisher of the Portland Morning Oregonian, one of the top dailies on the Pacific slope. He skyrocketed to the top job on that venerable paper twelve years after he was hired as a copy reader in 1926. In the time 1t took him to reach the publishers office, Ep was reporter, drama editor, night city editor, executive news editor and managing editor.

 There is more than idle rumor to the report current since the last Legislature that movement is under way to attempt to get pr. Ernest Gruening removed as Governor Of Alaska. The bill now before Con gress to have the Governor elected rather than appointed was inspired in part by the anti-Gruenings, but with that measure doubtful of get ting anywhere without the apprOY- al of Secretary Ickes, who has drowned on it, at least, he says, un- til certain changes are made in the Organic act, the pressure is being put on in Washington to have change in the Governors office.
