Bad News for ArIinqtonions

Ordinarily the prospect of tax rate reduc-
ton for Arlingtons taxpayers could be classified
as good news. The reduced rate recommended
by the County Manager is anything but good
news to county residents, however. If approved
by the County Board, it will mean substantially
higher real estate tax bills for nearly every prop
erty owner.
The reason for this Is to be found in the
countrywide reaSSeSSment of real property COM
pleted last year. That reappraisal resulted in an
average rs per cent increase in realty assess
mentS Many properties were raised in value
more than 100 per cent. At the present tax rate
OF 1888 per $100 of valuation, the taxes on some
properties would reach oppressive levels
The County Manager and the School Board
have proposed budget more than So million
higher than the current one, supported by tax
rate of $2.65 per 500 of valuation While that
is 27 per cent decrease in the rate, it falls far
short of the reduction necessary to Offset the
boost in property values. With Federal taxes
the cost Of living and other expenses rising all
around them, Arlingtons citizens will not relish
heavy increase in local taxes
That some increase in Arlington's budget
is necessary, however, seems evident. The cost
OF all public services is on the upgrade Cost-of-
living salary increases are planned for many
county employees. Even if capital improvements
should be eliminated, the cost of running the
county undoubtedly will be considerably higher
than ever before. larger share of the revenues
will be diverted to schools than in the past.
Such being the outlook, the county's tax
payers will have good reason to scrutinize care
fully the proposed budget, with view to spotting
non-essential items. Arlington's residents have
evidenced their determination to insist on care
full spending of county funds. The County Board
and the School Board would be well advised to
keep this public attitude in mind when preparing
next years budget for the county.

Mr.. McCobe and Successor

The resignation of Thomas B. McCabe as
chairman Of the Federal Reserve Board has
come as something of surprise. This probably
Is not justified, since Mr.. McCabe has wanted
for some time to return to private life However
his resignation and the announcement that
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury William Nc
CheSney Martin has been chosen to succeed him
follow closely upon the compromise settlement
Of the dispute between the Treasury and the
Federal Reserve. 1t is natural, therefore, that
some people should wonder whether the Treasury
point Of view is to be imposed on the Federal
Reserve through change of chairmen.
It is The Stars belief that there is no basis
for such an apprehension. The Treasury
Reserve dispute, centering around the question
OF the extent to which the price land interest
rate) OF Government bonds should be supported
through the operations of the Open Market
Committee, has been resolved on a reasonably
satisfactory basis. The Federal Reserve view,
In the main, has prevailed. 1t is true that Mr.
Martin represented the Treasury In the nego-
tiations, and presumably he was at least In
general sympathy with the position that had
been taken by Secretary Snyder. But there is
no reason to suppose that he will attempt to
reverse what has been accomplished If and
when he assumes the chairmanship OF the board
One reason for this belief is that Mr. Martin
was wholeheartedly supported for the chairman
ship by Mr.. McCabe, and the latter certainly
would not have given that support had he enter
tanned any misgivings. Another reason lies in
Mr.. Martins own integrity and competency. He
WILL of course have to satisfy the Senate as to
his philosophy with respect to credit policy But
If experience means anything, Mr.. Martin is the
right man for the job
He has been president of the New York Stock
Exchange, head of the Export-Import Bank and
executive director of the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development More i'm
portantly he would bring to his new post both
an extensive background of experience in the
Treasury and thorough understanding of the
operations Of the Federal Reserve. It is very
doubtful that the President could have picked
any man who is better equipped to carry on the
fine work that Mr.. McCabe has been doing.

The Soviour With the Sword
By Bruce Borton

BY Bruce borton
When I was tiny tot in Sunday
school, we sang:
T0e hasf the ey yora %sieR fRa e'eR GOD
One should psrsh M as lost n SHADES H % of nights
Publish glad tidings;
box to deposit our pennies, we sang:
Drpppinf, gssI f,s dropDiHs osgn3s; s.}3p dFSppins
He will get them all
Those pennies were sent to feed starv-
ing people in India, to erect churches
and hospitals in China, to spread the
good news Of health and happiness and
brotherhood "all over the world" 1t was
explained to us that the Zion" men,
toned In the stanza above was the
United States land divinely designed
to use its wealth and, more important,
its humane example, to lead all human
ity along the upward path to prosperity
and peace. Those were wonderful, hope
full days, but the memory Of them comes
back to me on wave of sadness. For
what are the little tots being taught now
about this, our great America?
They are being told in blazing head
lines and gloating broadcasts that "yes-
terday the United States forces slaugh-
tered $4,000 Chinese" That the day be-
fore the total in dead and wounded was
10000; that more towns have been cap
tured, more homes laid waste; more
helpless men, women and children
driven away into the freezing hills. Our
youngsters are asked to rejoice that the
French. using more deadly arms and
ammunition, are slaughtering many
more Indo-C Chinese. And that we are
about to spread the Gospel of Peace, in
the form of instruments Of mass murder,
all over Europe.
Is 1t too late to plead for q return to
our ancient ideals? Is there no hope
that. with the ingenuity Of which we
are so proud, we may yet introduce some
new note into the ancient mummery
called diplomacy?
Must the nation that so short time
ago was seeking to save the world
through the knowledge and love Of the
Prince Of Peace now surrender itself to
the demolishing role Of "the savior
with the sword?

Gone Is that sensibility of principle,
that chastity Of honor which felt a stain
like wound"
A well-known member of the legal
profession related to high Government
levels recently remarked: 1.-THE malady
Of today is indicated in the attitude.
What am doing may be morally wrong
but 1t is legally right. so what?" That
Is fatal moral disease. because 1t
makes life desecration rather than a
conservation. For instance, there is no
law Of State or Nation against the
acceptance of complimentary favors by
those charged with decisions supposed
to be sacredly based on impartial in
vestigation. Yet the greatness of q
nation lies in>the number of it's citizens
who yield obedience to laws that have
no policemen to enforce them Always
honor is harder master than the
written law.
The trouble Is that today we are
reaping the bitter harvest of a vicious
environment whose chief objective is to
make life easier, instead of stronger.
The great delusion of dangerous mi
nority in our so-called civilization is
that, because we can run high-powered
cars and bring to pass that which seems
like magic in realms Of seeing and hear
ing and serving by pressing buttons and
turning dials and because we can rocket
through the skies, we must therefore be
superior persons. That knightly person.

think I ought to be careful what I do

of friends, who loved him, nor the
cowardly compromises and seductive
threats of the powerful, who hated him,
could change his decision.
Was there ever a generation which
needed the majestic picture of Palm
Sunday more than ours. as Jesus OF

Honor bright" is an expression
sounding strangely like an echo from
the Victorian era. One of the most
ominouS facts of these days is that SO

The second half of the 10th century
has come in with veritable barraee of

many, to be clever is rated as a higher

Farmers Will
Hold Meeting

There will be meeting of the
farmers at the high school Tues
day. April II, to discuss the con-
troll of the spittle bug.
The spittle bug, which does its
harm primarily in meadows, de-
creases the yield of the crops,
by sucking the sap out of the
plant. L. E. Hedge of Cumber-
land street, reported that spray
ing IA acres of his farm has
yielded a 500 increase in his
crop. Andy Rataiczak of Bates
vile sprayed ten acres and re-
ported also a 500 increase in
yield on sprayed acres.
Experts in other parts of the
state tested $50 farms and the
results last year were 3096 to 7096
increase in yield.
The insecticide used is Ben
zen Hexachloride and is applied
at the rate of one quart per acre
and should be applied to 'mea-
dowS between April 6 and May

To Increase Yield

Noble county is the only one
in the state where sufficient
yield of corn was produced dur

year, will be enough for PIMA
