(Official City, State and County Newspaper) A Legacy of Pride The father of Senator Hiram Johnson of Cuali- fornia died carly last month. He left a will which, among other things, contained the following para- graph: “I make no provisicn for my son Hiram because he does not need any financial assistance from my estate; hence I leave him only my love and my pride in his success in life.” That is a paragraph that might well be recom- mended to the attention of all fathers who are bring- ing up sens; particularly to those young fathers si have not yet passed the swaddling ze, hut who are already causing the in- experienced parent to wonder what is the best way | to raise a boy. The man who could write it, as he reached the sunset period of life, is to be envied. To be able to look at one’s son and his career, to take an honest pride in them and to realize that nothing more needs to be given—that the son can stand on his own feet henceforth and acquit himself with honor; is a fine crown for any father. But a man has to earn it. And the carning begins early. It begins when the son is a wee little chap, caroming off the furni- ture in his amblings through the house, asking questions at the rate of ten a minute, learning to admire his daddy as the best, wisest man in the whole world, beginning to:shape his life as the life of his father is shaped. It continues a little later on, when the boy gets a little older and begins mingling with other young- { sters. He gets a new angle from which to apprai his dad. If his dad is the genuine article, this wiil help the boy to get a new admiration and love for him; if he is not, the boy will begin to find that he is just a little bit at sea. And then there are the later years, when the boy goes on through high school and enters college or woes to work. What a priceless asset the right kind of a dad is then! There are so many things for a boy to decide in those years; so many values to form, so many questions to answer, sv many pitfalls to avcid. If a boy has a real dad then, it isn’t so hard; if he hasn't, it’s pretty tough. After that the boy is pretty much on his own. The father can’t do.a whole lot— maybe lend a helping hand once in a while or chime in with a bit of advice occasionally, but little more. The boy has to go it for himself. And if the father has done his part in those earlier years, there isn’t much chance that the boy won't get along all right. He'll have the right background, the proper foundation. If the father has failed—well, maybe he will have cause to regret it in bitter sorrow. So now you see ‘what a fortunate man Senator Johnson's father was. He was able to say, at the very last: “I make no provision for my son Hiram because he does not need any financial assistance from my estate; hence I leave him only my leve and my pride , in hig success in life.” Battle of Little Big Horn North Dakota is vitally interested in the fiftieth anniversary next June of the Battle of the Little ‘Big Horn. The steps of the valiant Gen. George +A. Custer and his Seventh Calvary will be re- traced. A re-enactment of the march and the bat- tle will be. reproduced as closely as is possible and the camera will preserve for future generations this most thrilling Indian battle. Custer when he left the mouth of the Rosebud fifty years ago had 12 troops numbering about 600 men together with a number of Indian scouts. Twelve troops comprising some 1,000 men under Col. Fitzhugh Lee now stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, make the present Seventh who will participate in the great military pageant to be staged next June. Senator Walsh of Montana is seeking an appro- priation for a monument to honor the gallant Cus- ter. If successful a permanent memorial will be erected upon the battlefield where every man in five companies was killed by the Indians. It is fitting that this section should henor the memory cf Custer and of the men who died, a sac- rifice to the winning of the West. : Undignified A church in a far western city has done away with organ music at its services and installed, in its place, a jazz band.

When the House convened in December, its committee on | Ways and Means under the energetic leadership | of Chairman Green had already drafted the bill, in not radically different form than when finally approved. It passed through the House in ten days, jof this complexity. Progress in the Senate was slower. The chief changes made by the Senate! were the repeal of the state tax, the further re-! duction of the intermediate surtax rates, the repeal | of the automobile tax, and the substitution of an additional 1 per cent corporation tax for the bother- some capital stock tax. The estate tax, however, was wisely restored in conference and the tax on passenger automobiles merely reduced instead of being repealed. With one or two minor exceptions, the law is an excellent piece of workmanship, the best that has come out of Congress since the war. It implements the fiscal policies unsuccessfully urged by Secretary a normal basis, gives equal benefits to large and in the publicity provision of the 1924 law. - That such a revenue law can be passed so shortly after dustrial prosperity. Continued prosperity coupled with rigid govern- mental economy may make another tax reduction possible within a few years, but the next great step, in fiscal matters is clearly indicated. The in- terest on the naticnal debt is $800,000,000 a year. That is about $200,000,000 more than the whole Personal income tax yields. It is 22 per cent of all the revenues from all the taxes levied by the Fed- eral government. The rapid retirement of the debt is therefore the greatest economy the government can perform on behalf of the taxpayer Veterans’ Insurance (Asbury Park Press) It is undoubtedly due to the fact that veterans do not understand their privileges under the policie- of their government insurance, that the stupendous sum of $30,000,000,000 worth of government insur- ance has been allowed to lapse. Furthermore, un- less some acticn is taken immediately by these ex- service men, their dependents may face want and poverty because of this incredible negligence on the part of the veterans themselves. Veterans should at once avail themselves of the privilege of renewal by undergoing examination and paying two months’ premiums at the war-time rate as, after July 2, it cannot be renewed. The Veterans’ bureau calls attention to the loan clauses and cash surrender value of the policies; it has also! started a campaign to inferm veterans of their privileges under the policies. There remains less than six months in which to | effect these renewals and every means of publicity available should be employed to the end that these ex-service men may receive every possible benefit. Newspapers may be depended upon to do their share; patriotie societies, church and schools should be a fertile field for the dissemination of informaticn; and every citizen should take it upon himself as a personal duty to sec that no veteran loses his policy through ignorance of the means of retaining it. i Hustle vs. Comfort (Waterbury Republican) “We Germans work longer, but much more slowly,” said Prince Otto von Bismarck, grandson | t! ? pect @ jazz band to add to the dignity or beauty or ,of “the iron chancellor,” commenting on the hurry of American industry to a foreign correspondent ican hustler, this will no doubt seem a confession cf weakness and he will see behind it an oppor- tunity to get the German’s business away from him. easy confidence. “We Germans work longer.” In the Germans.
