gentlemen in such haste? Can it be that they
have overheard the rising clamor for another
naval school on the Pacific Coast? Can 1t be
that they want to forestall any such dread de-
veopment by enlargement of the Annapolis
establishment forthwith? They cannot even
take time to weigh the implications inherent
in the liquidation Of an ancient and hostoric
institution of learning.

apparently not yet gone so far as to authorize

merely approved acquisition through negotia-
tions. But the college trustees have once
more made it abundantly cellar that they do
not wish to sell and that they will do so only
upon an assertion Of national necessity by
the secretary of the navy. OF course, the
secretary of the navy cannot in conscience
make such an assertion. He can assert, per-
haps, that ii would be advantageous to the
Naval Academy to acquire the st. Johns
campus-an assertion which would be open
to reasonable dispute. But it is clear that
the campus is not in any real sense necessary
to the academy-even if expansion is shown
TO be desirable.
There can be no objection to fair negotia-
tions by the navy department for the pur-
chase of st. Johns. Such negotiations become
Objectionable only when they are carried on in
the atmosphere of intimidation with which
they have been imbued for some time. But
the use of the navy departments great power
of eminent domain in this situation would be
a grevious impropriety-one which the House
and Senate naval affairs committees ought
not for an instant to contemplate or to
tolerate. st. Johns College is not Just an
other piece Of real estate. IL is living func-
tioning seat of learning. In our judgment,
its trustees would be derelict in their duty If
they offered it for sale on any terms And
the navy, if il attempted TO take the college
by force, would be guilty of destroying one
of the essential values which it is the duty
Of the navy to protect.

4 NY discussion Of state and local taxation
and fiscal policies requires also consid
Grafton of the federal governments taxation
and fiscal program. because in recent years
the federal government has taken over fields
of taxation that have been tradtionally con-
sidered state and local fields
When you realize that our federal govern
ment has spent more money in the years
1912, 1943, 1914 and 1945 to date than from
the years 1889 TO 1871 inclusive, you will
have a small idea of the enormity of meeting
the tax problems of America.
Likewise, our tax collections for the same
period are astounding. The 123 billion dollars
raised in the four war years exceeds the total
amount Of federal revenue collected from the
day Washington first took his oath of office
up to Dec. Z. 1941.
Despite the enormty of the problem, il Is
possible to allocate definite fields OF taxation
to the federal government on one hand and
to the state and local governments on the
other in such fair distribution as to enable
all agencies of government to live up to their
obligations to the American people accord
ing to the traditional requirements Of the
three phases of government

~ larity by talking taxes. Authorities
agree that there is no such thing as a COM

HOW DISTASTEFUL THE TASK, IT SEEMS
TO NE, THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WE
MUST REGAIN FOR OUR STATES AND
CITIES, THOSE SOVEREIGN RIGHTS AND
PRIVILEGES WHICH WE HAVE SACRI-
FICED IN THE COMMON CAUSE DURING
A PERIOD OF COMMON DANGER
We can justify the curtailment of various
local and public services on the ground that,
in the national interest, we have had to forego
the taxing power which was our primary
source of revenue, but we can never explain
our indifference and neglect if, when the
crisis is past we allow our taxing authority
to lapse through our failure to re-assert the
sovereign rights of the As states.
Powers acquired by any government ss
emergency measures are likely to be retained
long after the emergency passes unless those
who have freely surrendered such powers are
alert to their obligation to retrieve what was
intended as a merely temporary grant. Such
duty will sooner or later confront the gov
ernor of each of the United States of America.

tablished by the forefathers of the foundation

undertaken without adequate safe
guards for American freedom.
1t did not deter him that his
voice was almost the ONLY voice
raised in that admonition.
It did not deter him that his
view was seemingly an inexpedient
view politically, and perhaps even an
unpopular view temporarily.
1t did not deter him that, as far
as immediate Senate action and pub
lie acceptance of it were concerned,
his words were futile.
Expediency and popularity were
never the TESTS of Hiram John
son s words and actions in the service
of his country.
Neither the prospect nor the
certainty of futility ever daunted
him.
If a thing was RIGHT according
to his conviction and judgment, he
was FOR it-however alone he might
stand, and however sure of defeat.
MANY years ago, on an occasion
AVA when Senator Johnson was
speaking in the Senate against the
involvement of America in foreign
alliances, he said:
"A feU senators in 1919 raised
their Uoices against entdngltng for
eign alliances, and | can speak for
only one of them.
But, so long as he stays here
and so long as God gives him potUer
to Uoice his sentiments, the same
UieLOs he expressed then he shall
express today, and he shall continue
to express as long as he iiUes.
"This is my creed Let IiUing
America LIVE HER OWN LIFE IN
HER OWN FREE WAY"
Hiram Johnson lived 20 years
beyond that day, and LIVED
FAITHFULLY BY HIS AMERI-
CAN CREED the whole time.
This is the good and faithful
servant, the truly great AMERICAN,
for whom the American people
mourn today, and whose memory all

Accordingly. the present dominating posi-
ton of the federal government in the real

possible moment by a fair realOcatiOn Of
spheres of taxation which will restore neces
sary taxing powers to our states and cities.
Within recent years the role of federal ad
ministrative agencies has been very prom-
nent. | do not mean 10 imply criticism Of the
so-called alphabetic bureaus which have been
superimposed upon American life in the last
10 or dozen years in consequence of the tre-
mendous sociai and economic problems Of the
Sos and demands Of the second world war
Nevertheless, local and state government
units are of vital Importance and their ex.
penses must be betrayed; yet there is no other
source from which state and local government
derive necessary taxes except from pres
ent and future national income
IN THE old days when states and localities
while the federal government depended upon
duplication and conflict of tax resources under
their system Of joint local self government and
federation Of as states was not much Of
problem.
But as civilization progressed the sphere
Of federal activities increased conflicts de-
veloped, and with only limited number of
tax streams to fish in. all governments-fed-
eral, state, and TO some extent, ocal-found
themselves angling in the same waters.

In the course of time these local communi-
ties may find themselves without adequate
means TO finance their regular activities. They
may become too dependent on the federal gov.
ernment, and as a result, weaken their powers
of self-government. Under such conditions
economic pressure would lead TO just that in
evitable extension of bureaucratic control
which President Truman has already deplored
in calling for the elimination of bureaus as
speedily as the emergency need for their
activities disappear.

Senator Hiram johnson

THE death of Senator Hiram w.
L Johnson of California, in the 10th
year of his life and near the close of
his fifth consecutive term in the U. S.
Senate, leaves the nation with deep
sense of it's irreparable loss-and yet,
comfortingly, with profound sense
of permanent possession and of i'm
measurable gain.
The long and faithful service of
Hiram Johnson to his country, in
common with that of all great and
useful men, cannot come to an end
without great loss to the country.
But every day and hour of his
service has increased the spiritual
richness and the patriotic strength
of the country, and the aggregate of
his years of devotion is an enduring
part of our national wealth.
DATRIOTISM was more than a
duty with Senator Johnson.
1t was a CREED.
He believed the free way of life
in America was a DIVINE way of
life, conceived by the founding
fathers of our country according to
divine intention.
He upheld and served the Amer
ican way of life because he believed
in it and LOVED it.
Often, he seemed to stand alone
in his advocacy of things and prin-
ciples and policies he considered
RIGHT.
But he was never AFRAID to
stand alone in support of things he
considered good for his country and
right for it.
CoV. WARREN of California,

Senator Johnson, spoke revereptly
of him as lone of the most courage.

That tribute never rested with

CHICAGO, Aug. % (ANP)-In
a few short months Chicago will
meet its greatest test. 1t is estimat-
ed that the already overcrowded
areas where Negroes live will re-
ceive the bulk of workers who have
been employed in war plants in
small towns within 200 miles of this
city. There is no indication that
many of those who left the south
will return. They cannot remain in
the small towns where they did use
full war work for many of them oc-
cupy trailers and temporary dwell
ing units which will be moved when
the workers are no longer needed.
The officials of most of these
War-boom towns would not permit
the government to build permanent
houses because they did not want
the Negro population to be stabil-
lied. While there have not been eX-
traordinary changes in the south
with regard to the treatment of Ne
groes, some of those compelled to
move from war plant areas may go
to their homes in the south where
they will be able to manage their
food and shelter. A person cannot
get public relief in Illinois unless he
can prove his residence of year.
The housing situation in Chica-
go is very tight. The present over
crowding of Negroes alone requires
that some $4,000 permanent units
will be made available as early as
possible. SO far, less than 5000 are
being planned. Meanwhile, the in
