It is unfortunate that any law designed {or the relief of certain individuals almost inevitably becomes a shelter for as, many of the unscrupulous are able to crowd beneath it. Since that is the case, however, there is no alternative but to carry out a campaign of the kind being developed by County As- sessor Claude Gandolfo. It makes it a lit- tle rough on the unoffending and legal hcemesteaders to be let in for stricter ex- amination of their claims, but it cannot be helped. Some of the cases uncovered here are out-and-out frauds, and ought to be pros- ecuted as such. Some of them are mistakes, and others are borderline cases, where the propeity owner may or may not have known he was violating the law, but did not expect any very close scrutiny,*since there had been none in the past. Cases where property owners claimed exemption on vacant lots, or claimed ex- emption here and on property in other counties at the same time, cannot be called anything but fraud. The persons who made loot the county treasury as much as if they had sidled into the courthouse and stolen money off the tax collector’s desk. In the cases where homes were rented “for part of the year and occupied by the owner at other times, there was a certain Previously, such claims had been admitted and it was only recently that instructions were received with the hard and fast rule that renting the property for any length of time forfeits homestead ex- cmption. In both cases, however, the county is losing money when exemptions are admit- ted, whether through fraudulent intent or It is well that govern- ment worm finally has turned around. RUSH AT ANNAPOLIS Mass production is in full swing at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, where the year 1941 will see the graduation of three classes of new naval officers, instead of the customary one class. In fact, the regular in Feb- , without the gay round of social ac- the tradi- ruary tivities which ordinarily marks tional “June Week” graduation. The second crop of young officers were graduated and given commssions as ensigns in the Navy on May 15. This class is composed of about 500 Naval Reservists, | who nave been taking an intensive 90-day course at Annapolis. In December, the present junior class at the Academy will be allowed to graduate six months ahead of time, making the third class to be commissioned during the year. This speeding up has. been due, of course, to the rapid expansion of the Navy, and the urgent need for more officers. Regardless of these’ ‘‘out of graduations, however, the traditional “June Week’ will be observed, actually lasting nine days, without any seniors or gradua- and social events for the juniors and second-year men. BUSINESS PROFITS Earnings of the first 175 companies to report their first quarter figures, accord- ing to an Associated Press tabulation, were 16 per cent higher than for the same period of last year.

Well, some eomprniegallowed for taxes in making their fepOrts. Others-did not. AnyWay, the Associated Press writer assuming that there will be an increase in taxes of around 30 per cent, says that this would reduce the increase in profits over last year to about 7 per cent The prospect is clouded, however, by increases which make the figures less significant.

Dayid questions, ‘What is man that thou are mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:4). Man is God’s most wonderful creation and has the loving favor of God as long as he accepts, without alteration, God’s authority. God directed Adam and Eve in the garden, “Of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it—” (Gen. 2:17). There are inalienable 1ights, which man has never been given the privilege to sub- stitute for: First: There is but one book solely inspired by God, the Holy Bible; second: Christ Jesus. was. the only Son of God; third: the Church is God’s only earthly institution given to man to unite, him with God. While these are the chief facts con- cerning God there are many others, and man has no right to substitute. any other book for the.
