leBbored for the debt it leores.—Detroit Free
Beet Opportunity
C Dorinsr the past two years the neces
sity of school buildings has been im-
J^p*«8sed upon us by county school au
thorities and most of us have become
^oimvinced that some school buildings
'^'sre desperately needed while others are
. too small to house the larger consoli
dated schools.
At the same time the financial con
dition of the county is not so prosper-
' ous. However, we are going to have a
iMtlanced budget and with a tax rate of
mly one dollar, which is something to
be thankful for.
But in getting back to the subject of
school buildings it appears that the
county is faced with the necessity of
q>ending some money for school build
ings and the first step is to work out
nranething that will be as light on the
taxpayers as possible and at the same
time take care of the needs.
^ It looks as if the possibilities afford
ed by the public works administration
offer the best opportunity. If the coun
ty can secure PWA funds for school
bnildings it simply means that we can
get the buildings for only 55 per cent
of their cost. The four per cent bonds
which the PWA would accept for the
money would be supplemented by a
grant of 45 per cent of the total cost.
The bonds would be payable over a
poiod of twenty years.
County authorities’ we understand,
are working on this proposition and if
architects’ plans for buildings meet
with the approval of the county boards
application will be filed with the pub
lic works administration.
i Miss You, Daddy”
The following editorial was printed
in the Rockville* Connecticut, Journal,
about a year ago. Thereafter, to the
editor’s surprise, it was reprinted by
most of the other papers of the state,
and was used by highway safety offi
cials, insurance companies, accident
prevention organizations, motorists’
publications and by others who are
fighting the great war against the toll
of automobile deaths. Here it is—and
any motorist will surely think twice
about taking chances after reading it:
“Tuesday morning there was a fatal
accident on the Minterburn Hill and
when the medical examiner was going
through the pockets of the dead man
... a telegram was found. It was not
▼ery long, just the ordinary ten-word
length, but it was a message that would
make any father happy. It read: WE
IfISS YOU DADDY. WHEN ARE
YOU COMING HOME?
“That was all. It was a message sent
by one of the children of the man who
.was killed. He had received the mes-
iMige and was homeward bound. The
clothes were minus money but in his
pocket he carried that message.

those who were once little children, can

THE BOOK
the first line of which reads, “The Holy Bible,”
and which contains four great treasures.
By BRUCE BARTON
STORY OF THE BIBLE
As these chapters have appeared in serial
form a surgeon of national repoitation sent
this reduest:
“1. How were'-the books of the Bible gath
ered into a collection and distinguished as a
group by themselves? Who selected them and
how do we know that the right ones were se
lected?
“2. By what means were these chosen
books preserved and handed down? Who de
cided that they ought to be translated into
modern languages and who did the translat
ing?”
Let us deal first with the Old Testament.
It would be very pleasant if we could say that
some one group of men, meeting in Jerusalem
about 400 B. C., selected the books which we
now have and certified for all time that these
and no others should be the Old Testament.
But such is not the case. As the writing of
these books was an evolution, so was their se
lection. Largely, they hav© been preserved to
us by the process known as the survival of the
fittest.
The ancient Hebrews held many of their
books in high regard; of which nearly thirty
are referred to in the Old Testament. Twenty-
four of these are sunk beyond all knowledge.
The story about the sun standing still for
Joshua is quoted from an old book of war
songs known as the Book- of Jashor or the
Book of the Just (Joshua 10:18). David’s
Song of the Bow” (II Samuel 1:18) is from
the same kook, but except for these fragments
the Book of the Just has perished. So also
has another old song book. Tile Book of the
Wars of the Lord, of wlch we ave a fragment
In the Slst chapter of Numbers, 18th verse.
The books of Kings are largely compiled
from more extended records, which sometimes
are referred to by name. This le not the
book of Chronlclee that we hato, which was
written* long after the book of Kings.
We see, then, that the Old Testament is the
Bvrvlvlng portion of a much larger number of
books. It doto hot comprise sicred ** opposed
to secular books, bnt Is the whole body of
ancient Hebrew Uteratnre now extant. PhUp,
an Alexandrian Jew who lived Ih the second
century before the ChrlsUan era, gives a list
of books nearly identical with those we have
bnt wnlU sevente^ that are In our list.

for the benefit of everrbody. Is couatHutlonaL There is
one that h» has frequently and here again
emphatically' expressed.

are asking three questions. Can

al income if w^ did enact such
laws? And, third, but paramount
■in the minds of the members of
both Houses, what will be the
political effect?
The strong inclination of all
but a few extremists in Congress
is 10 let the matter lie until the
next session, which will begin in
January, 1936. The boys want to
go home. The children are out
of school now, and their wives
want to get back to their home
towns; besides, the Washington
weather is getting hotter and
hotter. They still have an awful
lot of business to clean up be
fore adjournment. To work out
anything that will meet the Pres
ident’s idea of taxes seemingly
will lead to endlees debate and
discussion and maybe keep them
here until Fall. So, for that and
other reasons, it does not seem
likely that they will do much on
tax plans except to talk about
them.
The answer to the second
qnestion, as to what the practical
effect of the new taxes will be,
is generally that they will not
go very far in making up the
budget deficit. At all times the
great bulk of taxation is car
ried by the middle class, and
this middle class, the practical
economists in Congrtss and Ad
ministration circles say, would
still continue to cairy that load.
Very wealthy men who have ac
cumulated large fortunes can af
ford to hire very expert lawyers
to show them 'how to distribute
their wealth where they want it
to go, it is pointed out.
Good Ptdltical Move
The paramount qnestion in
the minds of everybody in Wash
ington is, really, as to the po
litical effect of the President’s
proposal. That, in the view of
the smartest political observers,
should be very good for Mr.
Roosevelt and his chances for re-
election. In effect, it cut% a good
deal of the ground out from
under the feet of Huey Long, the
LaFollette Progressives, and oth
er radical elements whose slogan
is “soak the rich.” These radical
Democrats and Progressives seiz
ed upon the new proposal, aild
their threats to “show up” the
President as insincere unless he
demanded immediate action, are
believed to have influenced him
in bis insistence upon tacking the
new. taxes to the bill extending
the "nuisance taxes.”
