A clock passes the time by
keeping its hands busy. Maybe
some of us should try that.
There was a time in the history
of the world when a crippled
child was considered the work of
God.
Be not forgetful to entertain
strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels unaware.
Beauty without virtue is like
rose without fragrance.
Better go to bed supperless,
then to rise in debt.
Business sWeetens pleasure,
and labor sweetens rest.
Beauty is worse than wine, it
intoxicates both the holder and
the beholder.
The trouble with most of us is
we bite off more than we can
chew and then stop chewing.
A lot of people believe in law
and order as long as they lay
down the law and give the order.
Halloween gives the public an
idea of what Communism is like

The flag which we honor and
serve is the emblem of unity,
power and purpose.
1t has no other character than
which our America gives it from
generation to generation.
1t speaks to US of the past,
present and future.
We are about to carry it into
battle and lift it where it will
displease our enemies, where
thousands shall die beneath it in
battle.
The White is the emblem of
truthfulness, righteousness and
purity. And stretching along side
of the White Wing is the Grim
son representing the flow of
blood that our brave men have
given that all nations shall go
free.
Pressed close is the heavenly
blue which symbolizes clearness
and out of which shines the mys-
terious silent stars lighting the
way for all people, on all shores
of the deep blue sea. The Stars
and Stripes, the Power of Heav-
en- shall follow it, for it is the
nearest flag representing Gods
word for truth and justice for
all.

vinced that savings of SIS billion
could be accomplished in our do
mestic non-military and foreign
aid programs.
But today it is impossible to pay
our expenses through savings in
domestic expenditures. The Presi-
dent is asking $40 billion more for
the Armed Forces; and, in view of
the world situation, it looks as if
we would have to spend at the
rate of at least $25 billion on our
own forces for a number of years.
Military aid to foreign countries is
now requested at the rate of $4
billion, and other expenses incl
dental to preparedness certainly
means a gross increase of $15 bill
lion.
Saving i'm domestic expenses
Is even more important now, but
it is hard to see how such saw
ings could exceed SIS billion a
year. That means that we face
a net increase of $40 billion in
our government expense, giving
us an annual expenditure, when
we get going, of $50 billion in
stead of $40 billion.
II HAVE emphasized the vital ne
cessity of paying for this condi-
ton as we go. We already have a
huge debt. If we ever get into an
all-out war, we will have to add to
it substantially. During the second
World War many people thought
we should pay for the war out of
current taxes. But we were spend
ing about half the entire national
production on war, and we could
find no tax system to raise that
amount without unbearable hard
ship and injustice to many. The
reliance on borrowing, however, is
directly responsible for the 70 per
cent imitation in prices over pre-
war. No matter what controls are
imposed, you can only delay in
f1ation if the government borrows
$50 billion a year.
There is no reason at all why
a tax system should not be de-

the development of civilian prog
ress. 1t will postpone many i'm
prevements / should like to see
made in welfare services. But
that Is the cost of Russian ag-
gression and our foreign policy.
In spite of a gradually increas-
ing production, we cannot pay the
cost of war and also enjoy every
thing we would like to have at
home. Increased taxes take away
from the people the money they
would like to spend on their own
living and use it in support of our
soldiers and our allies in foreign
lands.
The tax bill to be passed is re-
garded as merely a stop gap. An
increase of SIS billion will not ulti-
mately balance the budget, but the
additional spending will get started
slowly, and with this bill there
should not be any very large def
cit during the first six months of
1851. A thorough rewriting of the
tax system will have to be under
taken during that period.
The current bill does only three
things:
I'd 1t continues all the existing
excise taxes which were about to
be reduced.
(2) 1t increases corporation
taxes about 20 per cent, increas-
ing the rate on most corporations
from 38 per cent to As per cent of
net profits. The question of an ex-
cess profits tax on corporations
will probably be postponed until
next year, although there is much
support for it today. / believe a
general increase in rate is better
on the whole, but in the end there
will probably be some form of ex-
cess profits tax.
: 90 The individual income tax
rate is increased but not the eX-
emptions, the total increase rang
ing from Is to 20 per cent of what
you pay today. This is accom-
plished by eliminating the per-
centage reduction granted in l948.
WAR is a tragedy. 1t is highly
W destructive of freedom itself
Whether we could go through a
third world war and maintain the
liberty of our people at home is
certainly open to question. At best,
we will have highly regimented
economy.
But the more frankly we face
the facts, and pay now the cost
of what we are doing now, the
greater the hope of retaining in
this country the liberty which
we are trying to protect from
foreign attack.

| COMMUNIST is A TRAITOR


Communism has been a threat
to the United States from the
very day of the Russian revolu-
ton. The writings of every Com
munist leader for the past thirty
years have condemned capitalist
America and proclaimed the in
tention of Communist leaders to
spread their philosophy in every
country of the world.
/ have always talked against
m m uni S m and seized upon
every opportunity in Congress to
vote to curb it. | supported the
first house committee, known as
the Dies committee, to investi-
gate communist activities in the
United States. / have supported
it since at every opportunity. 1t
is today known as the house un-
American activities committee,
and has made many contributions
to the security of the country.
Long before World War II
made a speech in congress con-
demning the purchase of Russian
gold which was being used to
purchase war materials for Rus
sia. | voted to deport Harry
Bridges, but smart lawyers were
able to keep him in the United
States. Later, in 1945, he was
able to get his citizenship papers.
Very belatedly, in my opinion,
the government is attempting to
cancel his citizenship and every
loyal American is happy to learn
that he has been jailed as men
ace to national security. This in
dicates that the state department
may finally be waking up to the
fact that a communist at home is
just as dangerous as a thousand
in Russia.
We have had many parties in
the United States during our his
tory, but each of these, regard
less of what they stood for, have
been composed of Americans
who never thought of using
force to destroy our form of gov
ernment. The communist part is
different. They take orders from
a foreign government and / con-
tend that makes them traitors
to the United States. They also
believe in overthroWing the ex
isting government by force and
violence which, in my opinion,
makes them rebels. 1t was for
this reason that | introduced a
resolution the first month / was
in congress to deport any alien
found to be a member of the
communist party. This has been
taken care of by bill which
passed the house and which /
discussed in my last column. My
bill also provided that no one
could attempt to secure election
to any federal office as candi-
date of the communist party or
if such individual is member
of the communist party. There is
also bill introduced by Con-
gresham Hayes of Ohio which
would make it crime to send

Emblem of Liberty,
Cheerly wave.
Shine, stars, forever bright,
Stripes represent the right,
Red, Blue and purest White,
Inspire the brave.
Float over city's crowd,
On country's cabin proud,
Blest Banner fly.
Curb all unhallowed wrongs,
Cheer ali our toiling throngS,
Thrill every heart with songs,
Proclaim God nigh.
When evil flood the land
And danger thickly stand,
Boosting of might.
Wave, banner of the free,
Wave on in majesty,
Float over land and see
For God and right.
Turn back the evil host
Of Liberty we boast,
But not of wrong,
Float proudly in the light,
Guiltless in the sight,
Conquer by means of right,
Thy power proclaim.
Evil is unnatural-goodness is
the natural state of man.
Earth has no hopeless islands
or continents.
We live in a real redemptive
world. Poverty will end, sin
will die, love will triumph, and
hope will plant flowers on every
grave.
Industry, economy, honesty and
kindness form a quartette OF
virtues that will never be i'm

words can do the same.

It's raining roses down.
It is not raining rain for me,
But fields of clover bloom,
Where any buccaneering bee
Can find a bed and room.
A health unto the happy,
A fig for him who frets,

It's raining violets.

BARTLETT HOPES LAND C0kMI5SAR
 WILL LET GO HOLD

WASHINGTON, June Is = LR = Delegate Bartlett said today he hopes bill to authorize classifica- ton of public lands in Alaska may speed release of several hundred thousand acres withdrawn from settlement by the Interior Depart ment some years ago.
 The House Public Lands commit tee yesterday approved bill to permit the Secretary of the h. terior to classify all vacant and un- reserved public lands in the Terri tory for use and occupation.
 Bartlett explained that the h. terior Department wants authority to go into public land ahead of homesteaders, to find out if that land is best suited for grazing. farm ing, timbering or some other use and to classify it accordingly
 Bartlett said the department ap- parently feels prospective home steader would have a better chance for success if experts first examine the soil, timber and other features of his land.
 The delegate said the department withdrew large areas of public do- main from homesteading in antici- patton of farm settlement legisla- ton. But, said Bartlett, this legis- lation still is before Congress and probably won't get anywhere this year.
 Bartlett said the classification bill contains provision that would allow settlers to go into the land shey have chosen. 18 months after they are ready to move, whether or not the department has classified that land.
 He observed that government 'ands in Alaska are the only part If the public domain where classifi- cation is not done.

ASSESSMENT DELAY
 OK BY HOUSE GROUP

A committee of the House of Representative has approved moratorium on mining claim as- f iessment work until October l, it vas revealed today by Leo H. Saarela, Territorial commissioner )f mines.
 Saarela received a wire from DA- egate Bob Bartlett within a few hours yesterday after issuing a warning that the bill might not get through Congress by July |, when assessment work now must be completed in the north.
 The bill would give a three months extension of time. It has 3lready passed the Senate, but the House committee attached an am andment to it, and even if passed oy the House, must return to the Senate for another vote because of the change.
 This bill," said Saarela, will save many forfeitures of claims in Alaska, because it was impossible for many to complete the required s100 in work by July l. Lateness of the season to start would have meant many would have simply ,ost out"
 But the time still remains at July l as things stand now. The amended bill, approved by com- nittee report, must still go through l vote in the lower house and then ,eturn to the upper house-and has slightly more than two weeks 10 do it.
