All that is necessary to problem. We have organizations which have as their purpose the fostering of change, and counter-organi- zations for resistance to change from the essential organization for government, from political organization in line with, differences of opinion as to principles of government. The Amer- ican way of life is full of many organizations up is have a and | It seems a sad commentary upon Juneau's civic spirit, therefore, that his community truthfully has had no organization really interested in the city's affairs until the formation last week of the Juneau Taxpayers Association. The city has been faced with many problems in addition to that which has resulted in the formation of this latest association—the threat of higher and unequal taxes as a result of the recent reassessment of city property. While we grant that this problem is of prime importance to taxpayers, the problem might not have existed if the taxpayers had taken enough interest in their city’s affairs during the past several years to find out what was going on. Mayor Parsons and members of the City Council apparently had a bad time of it at last Friday council meeting when members of this new organiza- tion attended in strength and asked some questions All this is apart | | bered, however, that if the advicegiven Priday evening ’lmd been offered earlier it would have helped matters ‘(I great deal more. The lack of interest shown in the | city’s affairs by the average Juneau taxpayer in recent | vears has been shameful. The city is a several hundred | thousand dollar corporation and deserves the interest of every stockholder. The council and mayor, who act as the board of directors, welcome the advice of the stockholders. If they are left to themselves all of the time they can only guess at what people of the cit | want them to do. A special meeting has been called for this evening for the purpose of considering what to do about the sessment of property, directly as a result of presented by several hundred taxpayers only This is a step in the right direction and a suitable solution for all will be reached, we are confident|. After all, the mayor and council under our democratic form of government reflect in their actions the will of the people of Juneau and not those of seven men. | Mayor Parsons has expressed satisfaction at the formation of an organization interested in civic | affairs. We hope that it will be a permanent organ- jlznti(m. continuing to function in cooperation with | the administration of the city’s affairs new @ demand last Friday. | | To Spank or \ul to Spank (Cincinnati Enquirer) We recently heard a professional radio advice- igiver say that she couldn’t see how any errant ‘\nungstm could be improved by a spanking.

But we've raised a lot of dogs, and some right good dogs, too. We're of the opinion that some of the same processes which work | well on puppies work almost as well on children. Our chief argument with the professional child- raisers is that they often fail to take into consid- eration the fact that each youngster is an individual.

It The Washington Merry - Go - Round (Continued from Page One) over, I'd better write our my lesig- nation right now.” Truman demurred Morgenthau insisted. “After all,” he said, “It's only right that you should have your own man.” So the letter of resignation was handed in immediately; and later in the day, Truman called a special press | conference to announce it. at this, but In the interim, Judge Sam Rosen- man was asked to draft an appro-| priate letter to Morgenthau for Truman’s signature, thanking him for his long service. But Rosenman wasn't familiar with all of Mor- genthau’s record, had to send over to the Treasury for certain facts, and in the end, the letter almost wasn't ready for the Truman press conference. All this happened on July 5. At that time it was announced Mor- genthau would stay on until aller Truman got back from Potsdam. How this didn’t happen is the most important part of the story. | * » BYRN UNDERMINED MORGENTHAU | After President Truman got on, the Cruiser Augusta, he changed his mind about having Morgenthau remain until ho got home. And it was Jimmy Byrnes who helped him change it. Byrnes has long dis-/ liked Morgenthau. The two are scarcely on speaking terms. With both the Secretary of State! and the President on the same ship, Henry Morgenthau would have been President of the United States if anything had happened to that ship. Byrnes rammed this home to Truman, and from mid- Atlantic, Truman radioed Judge Rosenman to explain the situation to Morgenthau and ask him to step out of office immediately rather than wait for Truman's re- turn 'from Potsdam., The official announcement _that Morgenthau had some important decisions which he thought Vinson should make was all poppycock. Actually Truman wanted Vinson to be President of the United States in case anything pened to him and Byrnes BRETTON WOODS DELEGATE But, in order to make the step- down more palatable for Morgen- thau, Judge Rosenman told him that Truman wanted to make Morgenthau Americi.n Representa- tive on the new Bretton Woods Board.
