A Valuable Lesson. No Doubt The Christmas Cheer movement sponsored here by the Km ants club, tut 4. <*i added value a lew days ago ?hen a lather hastened alone with his young son and m tlw collection of toys to be distributed this week to the needs tot* in this community. The lather explained that he had given the under taking little thought, that it was next to impossible with limited iunds to boost the wellare of the less for tunate iur any treat length of tune, " but." the father contmued. thr motive taught rov child a lesson, and one that pleased me to have him learn.' The story a> related follows, in substance: " Dwjir thr year, my son J Waved with his toys. He valued tbrm. and did not understand why he should give them to older boys who wrre collecting them W'r -luffwd car evening by thr window where the toys had been placed and he asked about them. He was : they were i-a the little poor children, rhildim whe would be without toys unless little fellows like him offered tbrm their own. Somehow or other, thr child devrliped a consideration lor others Where be nad been indifferent to the happiness of others, there ?a- akened in him a new understanding Later that amt day. thr son with thr aid o( his rr other packed up toys and a few other articles that c-uld be cceivenientlv soared, and far explained that was awakened in him a new unstanding Individually, thr happening will not mean so much, but that little Ir?un and the understanding it created ii taught to every little child would mean, no doubt, belter world kmunur. Time to Change Foundation Tlx- iifuodiiiifi upun which prosperity in this coun try his reylrti in years cone by has proved costly and irmi an eckXKxmc >iandp?int it was never justified. People Suie lived last, ahead of their m+An< to be sure. but that hat not wrecked tfar ily has brew fowled on the adversity groups while other groups have gained. Low fans prices every year or so did not deter false march to prosperity. I'nable to meet f after producing a crop of cotton, peanuts and tobacco at a loos, the fanner turned to old mortgage route and continued to march with the rest. Now the atortgage is due and the interest cannot he met. There's little land left to mortgage, and when low prices come they bring poverty and want with them. The old system has broken down, and agriculture must be assured a tair ret mm akmg with the utility and other phases of industry if we are to enjoy prosperity in its real sense. A close parallel to the farm mortgage system is the installment pLin heaped upon (he beads of The work ing groups. Insufficient wages did not limit purchases, for there was the installment system offered as a solu tion by business Installment buying continues today, but its scope has been limited The doors have been closed to millions. It is plain that prosperity cannot rest on such a foundation. It is plain that the wott ing man mu-t receive a fair wage for bis labor if we are to enjoy prosperity in its real sense. Thr conservatives may oppose a change, but there's no great rekrf in sight until the foundation is altered whereby everyone will enjoy the fruits of his labor without mortgaging his inheritance or hocking" his birthright Theres one thing about it: When civilians learn that htry will run as much risk in a war as the sol diers they may decide against war.?Lynchburg News. A subscriber wants to know what is Japan's aim in China. So far it has been mostly innocent bystanders. ?NorfoK Ledger-Dispatch Sit-Down Strike A cm tmd Observer More testimony on thr clamor for tax reduction on thr rich and evaporations, which thr Springfield Re publican calls lynching a tax," is offered by Con gressman Maury- Maverick of Texas. Recently he said. It's thr same old dreary story. When prosperity be ean to get into swing, . thr munofwlists raised prices, grabbed off unrravmabir profits and left the people to hold thr bag. Yet the same crowd that visited Hoover and bungl ed the old Deal are knocking at the White House door -and treating tfar New Deal. I find that most of thr people around Washington are scared. This is in spite of the fact that most of thr talk out in the country is Roosevelt talk, and most of the proplr of the country are not scared. The whole cry is designed to persuade members of Congress to evade thr purpose of this short special Stsskm.ioDBrt ?WW ("wtuwntil problems of nwnwplny mrnl and recovery, and blindly and hurriedly repeal thr taxes on the wealthy and big eoqiorations and let the proplr of thr country slide back into thr abyss. The capital gains tax against which some of the noise is lifted is one of thr fairest taxes m the world and thr undistributed profits tax has not been on thr books long enough for even business to know what its eifect on business will be. Yet these two taxes are ac cused, by those who wish to escape them, with respon sibility for thr stock market recession. They are being lynched in order that wealth and big corporations may escape.
