FOUNDER OF A GREAT COUNTRY

The man who was most influential in the
successful founding of the United States was,
of course, George Washington, whose birth
day anniversary is observed this month. The
nations first President, and the General who
won war against Great Britain to make the
colonies independent of that nation is right
ly remembered each February 22nd and hon
ored as the Father of His Country.
However, the proper observance of Wash
ington's birthday anniversary did not come
about overnight after his death. The colon
les and the states were slow to recognize the
magnitude of the accomplishment and con-
tribution of General Washington. Not only
had he won independence for the colonies, he
had served as the First President, and he had
set the precedent for a two-term limit for
Chief Executives. Moreover, he had estab-
lished the foundation principles of American
governments-one of them being staying out
of the affairs of other nations. That policy
was the wisest course for the young nation at
that time, and this doctrine allowed the coun-
try to grow and prosper during its early
years.
After he died, on December 18th, 1899,
the Congress-then meeting in Philadelphia
proposed throughout the country with ex-
erciseS in honor of the first President of the
country.
Thereafter ObServanceS of WaShingtOn'S
birthday spread rapidly, and today, observ-
ance of the anniversary of the birth of our
first President, and military hero, is general
throughout the nation.
WaShingtOn's high standards of conduct,
morality, ethics and craftsmanship were, and
are today, an example for Americans in pub
lie office. Because Washington had all these
qualities, we are enjoying the fruits of lib
erty and strength.

ANTARCTIC HERO

After 48 years a sad memorial to a gal
liant explorer has been found in the Antarctic.
In 1912 Captain Robert F. Scott of England
succeeded in reaching the South Pole, only
to find there dog tracks and other signs of
encampment. Roald Amundsen, the Norweg-
ian, had beaten him in the race.
On his way back Scott was within two or
three days of the base camp and safety. An
.11-day blizzard overcame him, and he and
his few companions were never able to leave
their temporary shelter. Now an American
expedition, sent out by Tufts College in
Massachusetts,, has found traces of Scott's
occupancy of another Antarctic hut. The
finds included shoes, tobacco tin, and books
by Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe. The
mementoes will be sent to DIR. Griffith Taylor
of Sydney Australia, the sole survivor of the
fatal 1912 expedition.
Both the Antarctic and the Arctic are
dotted with pathetic memories of brave men
who lost their lives there. At least they add
ed greatly to scientific knowledge. They also
proved that there still are men as courage
Gus as any in ancient times.

CENSORSHIP BY TAXATION

The following editorial is reprinted from
the American Press:
"'The cost of advertising to promote or
defeat legislation or to influence the public
with respect to the desirability or undesira-
bility of proposed legislation is not deduc-
tible as ordinary and necessary business eX-
pense even though the legislation may di-
rectly affect the taxpayers business
"That is quoted from the newest proposal
of the Internal Revenue Service for clari-
flying its regulations on propaganda adver-
tising. ns
Perhaps clearer way to say it might
be: Freedom of the press and freedom of
speech are hereby repealed by order of the
Internal Revenue Service
For under the proposal, even though a
businessman was faced with the prospect of
legislation which might ruin his business,
he would be prohibited from appealing to his
fellow-citizens unless he agreed to pay Uncle
Sam high tax premium for the privilege.
Although leaders in advertising and bus
mess have been doing their best to fight this
vicious scheme for censorship by taxation,
they are sorely in need of public backing and
grassroots rebellion against such regulation.
"The House Ways and Means Committee
is now considering the proposal in connection
with rewriting of the Revenue Act. We urge
editors to join the fight against this new
threat to freedom through their editorials,
through letters to their Congressman, and
through appeals to their readers"

TIME FOR STERILIZATION

This country's largest farm organization,
the American Farm Bureau Federation, de-
serves a bouquet for resolution approved
at its recent meeting in Chicago. The reso-
luton amounts to solid opposition to a pro-
posed bill which would expand social secur-
ity benefits to include medical and hospital
care for recipients.
Here's the resolution the delegates voted
for: "Old age and survivors, insurance should
not be designed to replace individual thrift
but rather to protect against hardship in
advanced years and to protect dependents
against tragedy resulting from premature
death of the family breadwinner.
Constant pressureS for increased and ex-
panded benefits have resulted in the original
law being liberalized six times in the past 20
years. Increased tax rates are now sched-
uled every three years instead of five Dur
ing the next decade the tax rate will almost
double.
"These increased costs are becoming
serious financial burden upon American citi-
zens. We therefore recommend that the So
cial security program be stabilized. We are
opposed to legislation which would increase
social security taxes or benefits"
The social security concept, obviously,
could be broadened and broadened until it
covered every conceivable human contingen-
CIV from cradle to grave. Then, of course,
we'd all be working for the government, at
least in effect-the cost would reach unim-
aginable proportions. If we want to avoid
that dreary and deadly prospect, stabiliza-
tion is the answer.

HEART OF LEADERSHIP

After the narrowing trials of the RevO-
luton, George Washington returned to the
peace and order of life on his estates. He
enlarged the house at Mount Verion and laid
out the grounds afresh he interested himself
in experiments with a variety of imported
trees and grains. 1t was his fond dream that
he would be able to spend the rest of his days
as gentleman farmer.
This was not to be. Washington found
himself caught up in the political storms.
When the Constitutional Convention assem-
bled in Philadelphia in 1877, he was promptly
chosen to preside After the conventions
work was done, Washington again thought
that he would be allowed to retire from pub
lie life. Again, it was not to be. In 1889
his countrymen chose him to head the new
government. Though reluctant to serve, he
did so, guiding the nation through those first
turbulent years.
One can find in this noble lesson in pa
triotic service. One can also find in it one of
the central facts about this extraordinary
man. Washington's deeds as soldier and
statesman were outstanding, but it was not
this alone that made him great. The people
looked to him for leadership, in peace no less
than in war, because something about his
character radiated courage and hope and
confidence in the future. Their instinct was
true For it was this power to uplift and
inspire that was the real measure of Wash
ingtons greatness as leader in troubled
times.

LET'S LOOK AHEAD

The prospect of $42 billion surplus in
the Federal budget has cheered everyone up.
To the citizen it would mean that he wouldn't
be faced with another infation-producing
Federal deficit to whittle the value of his
dollars. But to some open-handed Congress
men it is an invitation to abandon last ses-
sion's trend toward Government economy.
Already the ardent spenders are coming
forth with plans that would assure the sur
plus never could materialize. These Con-
gressmen seem to think they are never doing
enough for "the peepuP' unless they put the
peoples government in the hole
Their concern for the voters, who double
as down-trodden Taxpayers could find bet
ter outlet in the direction of income tax rate
reform. Virtually everyone acknowledges
that present taxes are too high to permit
maximum economic growth. Everyone
knows his own taxes are too high.
The bipartisan Herlong-Baker bills now
pending in the Ways and Means Committee
would bring down everyone's taxes, and do
it in such way that economic growth would
be stimulated sharply. More growth will
bring more tax revenue from lower tax rates.
This would mean more Federal surpluses
to cheer us up in future years
The politicians would be doing themselves
a favor, too They could never get all the
voters to agree on how to spend the sur
plus, but one thing everyone will agree on is
that taxes are too high

PROSPERITY OR UNEMPLOYMENT

That bumper crop of post war babies is
growing up. In two years its members will
start job hunting in numbers that will add
IA million persons to the U. s. work force
by 1870.
This unprecedented surge in available
manpower can mean rapidly rising output,
pay and living standards. Or it can mean
rising unemployment and stagnation. The
outcome will depend on whether enough new
jobs can be created.
Creating jobs takes money-mOney ac-
cumulated through profits or savings and
invested in new or expanding businesses. But
our present federal tax structure is draining
off most of the money that should be creating
jobs. If we are to insure against increasing
unemployment, this tax structure must be re-
formed-and quickly.
Bipartisan legislation in Congress known
as the Herlong-Baker bills would accomplish
the reformation. 1t would reduce income tax
rates in all brackets without shifting the tax
burden from one group to another. 1t would
do so gradually over period of five years,
simply by preempting the annual increase in
federal revenue brought about by growth of
the national economy. This money, currently
averaging So billion a year, would be used for
tax relief rather than for more government
spending.
Congressional tax experts have said there
will be no tax law changes this year. We sin
cerely hope they will change their minds and
enact the Herlong- g-Baker proposals, to pro-
vide a brighter future for our young people
and our nation.

suffice.
Again yesterday we passed an
other holiday with friends. Since
Hayes left us three months ago for
his tour overseas we have had to
spend so many holidays without
him, but our friends have tried to
keep us from missing him too ter
ribly on special days. Thanksgiv-
ing we ate dinner at the Officers
Club with our Air Force friends
from Ohio. The Longmans have
been "Ole Reliables" and without
them these three months / would
have been lost.
Christmas Day civilian friends OF
ours in the neighborhood invited us
for turkey dinner at their home.
Next we faced New Years Eve
which is a traditional time to be
with loved one. The Newtons (who
