We are glad to give continued support to two princi ples we advocated in the Assembly race a year ago. ,,, .One of those principles was a flat license fee for all ple^wire ^Cars, and while we advocated a fifty peWeent reduqtioitfin the average, it has been carried still further . toy i^present sponsors, who urge a flat fee of $3. They would however, permit the continuation of a four cent tax ori/gas, which we do not favor, since it is a tax out of airprjiportion to the value of the commodity upon which it is levied. We would much prefer a five dollar license fee or even the original $7.50 we advocated a year ago, with a two-cent limit on the gas tax, limited by the con stitution, and with diversion to other than highway funds prohibited.

Industry, incidentally is object ing to the interpretation put by some on the stand it took at the National Association of Manufac turers' convention in New York Business men who dropped into Washington after the convention agreed they had been forced inU- politics. They emphasized, though, that their platform was not anti- New Deal bat anti-radical. They oppose radicalism and any stray ing from s^und and tested princi ples whatever they find it. Sinci radicals in and out of the government are attempting to in fluence legislation and polities, the business men say they at least that these hard-boiled manufact urera have produced a state paper which in the field of scholarship far surpassed many of the \brain tmst\ utterances. The Supreme Court has h»ld that the federal government may not levy a tax of up to $1,000 a- g&inst those who produce and scl] lienor in dry states. It's chief rea son was that the tax was punitive and not for the constitutionally- stipulated purpose of raising rev enue. Fow LargMt U. S. Cities The four largest O.

I have been a booster for it all my life My father, who was a preacher with a large family, and a •mall salary, used to remark that he had \kept himself poor paying insurance premiums \ But the insurance premiums enabled him to sletp peacefully at night and, having seen us all through college, he proceeded to cash in his insurance and he and Mother had a good time on it during their last years How completely they might have spoiled their days and nights if they could have looked forward into the future Suppose they had known, in 1900. that this country was going to do a nose dive in 1929 which would be followed by the worst depression in history Suppose they had said to themselves \What a terrible ordeal that may be for our children and grandchildren. We ought to do something about it\ Well, they couldn't have done anything about it And, as things have turned out, we are still eating regularly, we have a dry place to sleep, and so far have neither applied for a dole or sought admission to s nudist camp I The changes that are going to come in these United States are beyond the imagination of any one to forecast. Our children and grand children will have to meet them, as we have had to meet the problems in our own lives What we can do for them beyond health and educa tion is not much I Self Reliant Are Educated President James A Garfield was asked^ \What is your definition of a college?\ To which he replied \Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other \ Not luxurious dormitories or Gothic recitation halls, not rich en- dowmenls or mammoth football bowls, but a great teacher in persona] contact with his pupils, stirring their imaginations, stimulating their minds. 4 • Mark Hopkins had the teaching genius in the top degree.

Answering that question in his auto- _raphy, Bliss Pefry quotes bis own father, who had bten one of Hopkins'' pupilss \Afteri beginning by„ asking the pupil what theiv text. was biography, Bliss Pefry Hopkins pupil \Aite „ _ „ r-r- » book said about this and that topic, the Doctor would invariably inquire, 'What do you think about itf It stole theJiearts of young men to hear such a man as he was plumping down upon tbem from his desk, a* if it were * matter of much importance, such a question as that^'It suddenly increased their own self-respect\ And Bliss Perry adds. 'To discover that you had a mind—narrow, commonplace, or ill-trained, perhaps—but a mind of your own, was a thrilling experience.\ ' * Many students graduate from college without ever making that dis covery.
