For through his educational orchestral concerts over the radio for school children he is endearing himself to the young generation as no human being has ever done before him. Each Friday morning millions of children “and others listen to these concerts by a symphony orchestra, enjoying not only the music, but also the explanations so simply and charmingly given by Mr. Damrosch in “person. Although he has been known through- out the civilized world as America’s pre- mier orchestra conductor for many years, it is only since the advent of the radio that an intimate appreciation of his consummate artistry and delightful been extended to the masses of the people, particularly to the children. On his 72d birthday Mr. Damrosch may look back over a long period of serv- ice in the Temple of Music, of which his present radio undertaking is the crowning achievement.. May he long continue so to serve—a veritable high-priest of culture and kindliness. STICK ’EM UP (The United States Daily) Had there been a consciousness of how the federal government must collect its revenues, there might not today be such calm indifference to the spending orgy at Washington. But unhappily there will be no such indifference when the government, hard pressed to met the demands of the dole and social expansion of all kinds, will increase the tax rates to confiscatory levels in the higher brackets and to painful per- centages in the middle class groups. : Great Britain felt the pinch of taxa- tion year after year and finally revolted against the dole system and insisted on a balanced budget. America has that crisis to meet some day. Our sister democracy has met it and is thriving. Our present glow of imaginary prosperity and the in- creased glow we shail get in the next few months will only help the politicians once more by permitting them to postpone the day of a well balanced tax system. Here is a task for the “brain trust” which has with commendable zeal shown itself indifferent to political expediency. The problem is simple—how to get money out of the American people in sufficient quantities to support an increasing federal payroll and expense. If the profit system is to be strangled, then some other way of getting money must be devised. If the government goes into all businesses and regulates profit it must earn enough on all its enterprises to pay a large part of the costs of state and city as well as all of the costs of the federal governments. The in- ‘stitutions supported by private wealth will pies a part of the governmental a. i UNCLE SAM, CHISELER Country printers, who for more than half a century have suffered from govern- ment competition in the printing of en- velopes, ean hardly be blamed for looking askance at NRA codes and their preten- sions to the elimination of “chiseling.”” The case against Uncle Sam is ably set forth in an editorial in the Hayti (S.D.) Herald-Enterprise, which says: “After all, a printer is but human, and he ought not be criticized too severely if he froths at the mouth upon receipt of a letter from a concern which proudly floats the blue eagle but transports its message in a cut-price government envelope. The government is now engaged in an under- taking to effect and enforce codes of fdir |‘ competition for every business in the coun- try and yet it continues to print envelopes in competition with the printers of the country at a price that is not only less than the printer can purchase the blank stock for, but it is even less than the government asks the printer for the postage necessary | te transport the envelopes a few miles. many ways there is no bigger chiseler in the country than the government itself.” Chauffeur, 30, married when suited; Continental experience; excellent refer- ences.—Advt. in the London Times. personality has i THE ‘KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross-word Puzzle’ C8 00000068 0 OSSSS FBHS5000002060 0200S COSTOMHOGSH OOS ACROSS Solution of Saturday's Puzzle . 501 . noes im- 8.
