Initiation and Taxes

We've heard a lot of excuses as to why
Congress can't cut taxes, but the alibi of
Senate House Economic subcommittee is
the most unlikely.
The subcommittee says that taxes can't
be cut because that would be inflationary.
The reason that taxes can't be cut and
aren't cut is that politicians insist on
spending all the money they can extract
from the people. 1t is huge government
spending that is nflationary not the
taxes collected by government. Taxes could
be cut in half and there would be no in,
flation if government spending were also
cut in half.
In recent year we have had unprece-
dentedly high taxes and along with them,
all but disastrous initiation. If tax cuts are
lnfIationary, as the committee says, tax
increases apparently are inflationary too.

January, 1856

JANUARY. the first month of the year.
y gets it's name from Latin, and the Latin
word. Januarius The Latin word is derived
from the name of a Roman god, Janus.
Anglo-Saxons, in the old days, did not
use the word January but called the first
month of Wulfmonath, because of the fact
that the wolves left the forests and entered
the villages in search of food during the
month of January.
Some of the most famous men in the
history of the United States were born in
January. Franklin d. Roosevelt, the 32nd
President of the United States, was born
on January 3Oth, 1882, James G. Blaine,
who was at one time the most popular poll
teal leader in the country, was born in
Brownsville, Pa, January 31st 1880.
Thomas Paine, one of the country's
greatest thinkers, was born in England,
on January 20, 1897. Emanuel Swedenborg.
a great mystic and religious thinker was
born in Stockholm. Sweden, January 30,
1888 Robert Burns the famous Scottish
poet, was born in January, 1859.
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson,
two brilliant military leaders of the Con-
federacy, were born on January 10 and
January LIST, respectively. Lee was born in
1907 and Jackson in 1924 both in what
was then Virginia
Daniel Webster, a famous orator, states
man and lawyer, was born in Salisbury
(now Franklin), New Hampshire. on jan
uary IS, 1882. Benjamin Franklin, one of
the great figures in America, was born ON
January II. 17O6, in Boston. Edgar Allen
Foe was also born in Boston. OH January
10, 1909 Salmon Chase, the sixteenth JUS
ticc of the United States, was born at Cor
nish, New Hampshire. on January IL. 1903.
Alexander Hamilton, a great and influen-
tal force in the American Revolution, was
born at Charles Town, in the West Indies,
on January II, 1857.

Larger Horizons

knowledge has been engendered, we hope,
to arouse our people to the much larger
portents of the issues.
Jack Fitzpatrick, editor of the Richmond
NewsHeader, has presented the problem
in its wider scope His editorials have stir
red many thinking people into action. I'm
surpassed in scholarship, clarity, and
craftsmanship, his editorials have force
fully directed attention of his readers to
the dangers and have suggested method
of bringing the real issues to the attention
of the people of this nation by the use of
interposition,-tha iss interpreting the SOW
ereignty of the State of Virginia between
the unlawful decision of the o. S. Supreme
Court and the people of Virginia. We hope
the thinking, freedom loving, citizens OF
the United States may yet save their llber-
ties and the Republic as originally concelv-
ed by the trainers of the United States
Constitution. If the u. S. Supreme Court
can, by usurpation of the sovereign rights
of the states, in effect amend the Constltu-
ton as in this incidence, the precedent can
be used for further inroads, the ultimate
being a changed form of government for
eign to the Republic as conceived.
1t is our hope Cd that the Virginia
General Assembly will adopt early in the
session an appropriate resolution of inter-
position; (2) that, Virginia's sister states
of the Union will study, consider and adopt
similar resolutions; CD that Congress will
face the issue and through legal procedures
determine Virginias position in this mat
ter.
Determination of the issue is of suf1i-
cient importance that careful consideration
and study be given. In the meantime pub
lie schools in Virginia can be and should
be operated as at present. Haste at this
juncture may result in irreparable dam
age.
The constitutional convention will be
called and the necessary changes made in
Section 141 to provide latitude of action
in considering the future school program.
We are persuaded that Virginia's public
school system should be considered by the
General Assembly at a time when it is the
only matter for legislation, namely, at
special session. Changes, if any, should be
carefully considered, fully debated and
thoughtfully adopted.
Larger horizons arc being unveiled.

Letters To Editor
Wants States Rights
arty Organized

Editor of Herald
So much has been written con-
corning indignation pro and con.
that I shall not attempt to discuss
this matter. except to say that in
my opinion vote for the conven-
ton is the only sane approach to
the problem.
/ should like to write if you
please, regarding a matter much
more fundamental.
Since the Democratic and Re
publican parties have reached
point where the difference between
them is about the same as tweed
lie dunn and tWeedle dee. l sub
NIT that tn time has arrived for
the South to organize a State
Rights Party. withdrawing from
both.
Stress should be placed on elect
ing members to the House and
the Senate under this party la
bel. If this were done. then new
party would hold the balance of
power and could dictate such
legislation as desired.
A case in point is recalled dur
ing the ReadjuStcr Campaign i'll
Virginia, when General Williams
Malone was sent to the United
States Senate as a Readajuster.
The Democrats and Republicans
in the Senate at that time we're
evenly divided at 81 each. The vote
was always along strictly party
lines and General Malone held
the balance and welded more
power than any single Senator
ever has had in that body before
or since. / trust a movement
will soon be started to form a new
party under the State Rights BAN
ner.
This is the only hope for the
South and for those who still be-
lieve in the rights Of the States.
Very truly yours.

few years later came the Geneva
Protocol on regulating interna.

quarters.
The city is now the scat of the

The city has so frequently been
a conference center that the term

product.
Geneva visitors delight at the
thousands of watches that gleam
in shop windows: One company
keeps a case history of every
watch it has made, Each time
piece is assembled then taken
apart and reassembled three
times before being oiled Such
palnstaking attention to work re-

New York. January 7, 1900
In addition, many famous military ac-
tions have taken place in January. The
Battle of Princeton took place on January
3rd, and the last battle of the War of 1912,
the Battle of New Orleans, was won by the
Americans on January 9Th, 1915.
january, then, has been a historic month
in this country. January, 1856, is the first
of twelve months in a year which will pro-
duce a new President of the United States,
which will probably produce prosperity
for most Americans.
As January, 1856, arrives, it is we'll to
keep in mind that the United States now
stands at its peak strength, at its greatest
power and influence, giant among ma
tons. 1t is, therefore. a historical January
for U. s. citizens, who might face quite a
task in the coming decades to maintain the
American posture in changing world.

THE OVERWHELMING endorsement
by the voters of Virginia on Monday
for constitutional convention limited to
change in Section 141 of the Virginia
Constitution is reassurng to those who
have hoped for months that the people of
Virginia would awaken to the serious con-
dltions confronting them. The proposed
change in the constitution so as to make
available tuition grants in nonsectarian
schools to those pupils who may have been
forced into integrated schools against their
will or that of their parents is only first
step in long legal and moral fight to save
public education, state sovereignty and
individual liberties. 1t is only the first Skin
mish
1t is no happenstance that the people
in the Fourth and Fifth districts of Vir-
ginia should have turned out in such large
numbers. These people have been immedi-
ately affected by the decision Of the Y. S.
Supreme Court, declaring racial segrega-
ton in public schools unconstitutional.
The purport of the decision would be that
all schools would be migrated. This was
not the desire of the majority of the voters
and taxpayers; the contrary is true The
leaders in the Fourth and Fifth Districts,
Congressman Watkins NJ Abbtt Con-
gresham William NJ. Tuck, on the national
level: all members of the General Assem-
bly,. and others the state level, thous-
ands of citizens-at least 5000 to 10000
organized in the grass roots movement OF
the Defenders of State Sovereignty and
Individual Liberties-have studied, search
ed, argued way to meet the Immediate
situation. The newspapers, both daily and
weekly, in the Fourth and Fifth Districts
have supported the people and sought to
inform them.
In the search for way of defending
the liberties of the people through legal
means, a great new vista opened. The true
meaning of the Supreme Courts decision
and its ultimate ends by this precedent
have developed. The people of these dis
tricts have been awakened.
Fortunately, Virginians throughout,
have been awakened by prominent educa-
tional, political and civic leaders who have
taken the stump in the recent referendum
While the issue was narrowed to that of
schools, a sufficient amount of interest and
