Now that the Juror over the
veto by the President of the tax
bill has more or less subsidized
and rational thinking has begun
to assume itself, it might be well
to remember that the right to
veto any bill passed by Congress
is given the President under the
Constitution. It is one of the safe
guards put into the Constitution by
the wise forefathers who drafted
it. BY means of the veto a Presi-
dent is able, if he so chooses, to
head off controversial legislation
which he deems is not for the
best interests of the country. The
trainers of the Constitution also
provided a means whereby Con-
gress can pass bill over a presi.
dents veto by a two-thirds vote.
Members of Congress had no right
to become incensed over President
Roosevet's veto of the tax bill. It
was his constitutional privilege
and he had every right to exercise
it. AS to the Presidents message
which accompanied his veto that
was quite different matter. It
was the constitutional privilege of
Congress to criticize it, if they
chose.

children's dresses, coats, blouses
and other outer garments should
be back on the market by spring
due to steps to increase produc-
ton taken by OPA, Dave S. Cohn,
district director of the OPA said
today. The action taken by OPA
does not raise the ceiling price
of any garment, but it does mean
that because no garments were
being made at the lowest price
lines, the manufacturers of low
price merchandise will be allowed
to make apparel at approximately
the next higher price line.
In permitting the low-price
manufacturer to move production

S1.69 quality into garment SELL
ing for $1.98.
More Sheets for Market
To step-up the manufacture OF
sheets, the Office of Price Admin
istration has increased the manu-
facturer's ceiling prices - but the
price to the consumer will be no
higher than in March 1912. Due
to military demands and lack OF
manpower, manufacture of bed
linens declined until the short
age on civilian markets was seri-
Gus. The price rise of Az to Be
sheet, which has been granted
manufacturers, is expected to in
crease manufacture in more near
ly normal quantities within a
month or so-and then they soon
should be back on the hometown
shelves.
The increase to the manufac-
turers has been sealed to encour-
age heaviest production of a good
serviceable sheet normally sold
at relatively low prices. Three
other popular types also are re-
ceiving price adjustments which
will increase manufacture.

WAR DEFIES

The bombing of the monastery
in Rome, in order to destroy a
fortress of our enemy, was I'm
avoidable though regrettable, We
understand. Too frequently OBJ
jects of art, culture and refine
ment are destroyed by the enemy
through wars. History points to
the destruction of churches of all
sects through all the ages when
warning people take a stand. 1t
may be an ecclesiastical center,
corner holding a single shrine
or simple resting place for che
weary. Warning man fights his
enemy with all the modern equip
ment of his time and by fair
means and too often, foul. Al
ways the sanctity of the sacred
is defiled since war itself is not
consecrated to the service of love
and brotherhood. When an army
makes a church strong hold
from which to kill, to destroy the
church in battle is not to destroy
the faith which built it. Coveting,

the hand-maidens of war. Our
armies have hesitated to bomb
Rome, and have made their mill
tary projectives only those that
would impair the enemy and aid
our cause. They have tried to
protect religious centers since it
is not the principle Of Americans
to bomb churches. Nevertheless,
the time has come when Rome
can no longer be promised safety
from attack even its cultural
buildings, its historical sites. The
Axis are aware of the advantage
in making such a city a fortress.
Russia knows only too well the
outcome! We have been told that
Rome is to be the key to the Axis
break so then can we fail to
attack Rome? If we might sit in

would probably be an open plain

Oil men say that this nation
faces the same future in the matter
of oil that it is now experiencing
in the matter of its timber re-
serves. At one time it was thought
that the timber resources of this
country were inexhaustible. We
have reached the place where we
are practically without timber re-
sources. We have thought in the
past that our oil supply was in
exhaustible, but we are beginning
to wake up to the fact that the
end of this may be closer than we
think. Last year 1880 new oil
wells were drilled, but at the
end of the year this country had
698, 100000 less barrels of reserve
oil than it had at the beginning
of the year. Are our oil resources
going the same way that our tim
Der resources have gone?

homes, away from the babies,
mothers, the weak and inform, but
we are not given choice.
IT'S THE TRUTH

Every four years the American
people exercise the right as citi-
zens to engage in the election
of president. Foreigners do not
know the process in which our
political parties engage, perhaps,
and of the tremendous business of
campaigning with its vile mud
singing which follows as part OF
the office-seekers. procedure.
There is nothing much refreshing
about the scene, for politics seems
to be tough business at best.
But other nations know something
of it, for from what we read of
their elections they too have cam
paign problems and name-calling
However, during period of war
when unity is so highly desired
among the Allied nations, the var
ious angles of sol-alled dirty
politics might affect the name Of
friendly nation. Winston
Churchill has wisely cautioned the
British that during our presiden-
tial campaign there will be some
rough things said about Great
Britain, as certain candidates will
use this method to gain votes
from some quarters. Churchill
understands politics and advises
his countrymen "not to be undu1y
concerned by anything that should
be said or written in the course
of that great constitutional pro-
cess which is taking place." And
we are proud that we hold the
power and the rights as citizens
of this country to proceed with
our constitutional process of
presidential election.

One good feature in the tax DILL
that Congress recently passed over
the Presidents veto is that j.
holds the payroll tax to one per-
cent. Had the bill not been passed
over the Presidents veto the tax
would have increased to two per-
cent. Even at one percent the
tax is too high. It raises several
times more money than is needed
for the administration of the pro-
visions of this bill. Why continue
to collect more in this fund than
is needed? AS surely as a fund
builds up above needs, some one
in Washington will find a way
to create a new agency to spend
it. .

continued. This will also affect
the Army and result in loss of
letters to Kennewick boys over
there-unless we cooperate. One
average sized transoceanic plane
can carry 100000 V-Mail letters,
and it would take. fleet Of 112
planes to carry the same quantity
in ordinary air mail letters. Nat
urally with the warfare increasing
on all fronts, we would not ask
for additional planes to carry air
mail letters. Mail is as important
to many men as medicine. 1t is
the tonic, the spur, the vitamin
tablet to lonesome lad and so
V-Mail is given the priority of
medicine itself! Since we want
the boys to get all the mail pos
sible and since we wouldn't take
needed combat planes for mail
service, it seems that V-Mail it is.

Fuel Oil Index

According to the weekly report
showing the maximum amount of
fuel oil which consumers in this
area should have burned to date,
the Office of Price Administra-
ton advises there should be at
least "a percent remaining of your
allotment. Those consumers who
expect to have enough oil to last
through the remainder of the win
ter, were cautioned by the district
OPA to take immediate steps to
reduce consumption to a point
where it is in line with their fuel
oil ration. There is no oil avail
able to allow extra rations to those
householders who carelessly burn
their oil, OPA said.
