Magic Has Its Limits Governor Sprague's message to the legislature, while it recommends some drastic departures from the existing order, is generally conservative and constructive, but not entirely consistent in that in some respects it violates the theme or keynote he sounds for the session. To the lawmakers he com mends a policy of resisting pressure for legislation that will increase taxes or create the need for them with these timely words: 4 I would remind you that the cost of national rearmament will be enor mous, and that the federal government must Impose heavy additional taxes upon the people. We should recognize a priority of claims for this cause and hence the state should avoid Increasing the tax burdens of our people. 'in this selfsame message, however, the chief executive further suggests and endorses these extensions of and addi tions to various state services which could tilt his carefully balanced state budget out of plumb on the debit side : 1. Remove the maximum limit on state old-age pension allowances, which would Immediately result In concerted pressure to raise state and county contributions to a level that would match the federal maximum of (20 a month to the individual, doubling state and county taxes for this purpose. 3. Enlargement of the working staffs of state Institutions to reduce existing long hours tor employes, a meritorious idea but one that will cost additional money. 3. Increase In the scale of awards for permanent disability and to sur Tivlng dependents out of the Industrial accident fund, which would event ually mean higher assessment on employers. 4. Expansion of vocational education facilities through the establish' ment of "schools of below-college level located at strategic centers of the tate." 5. Establishment of a state employes retirement fund. These suggestions may all fit into the modern conception of governmental obligations to the people. But they are all going to cost somebody money at a time when the governor himself admits there are other and more imperative needs for that money. He has absorbed every penny of anticipated rev enue during the coming biennium in his budget estimates of expenditures. Without pointing the way to further retrench ments, he admonishes the legislature against additional spending, then outlines an enlarged spending program contin gent upon the hope the legislative committees can find waj( to finance the extra burden."

The Penalty of Progress j VN V BACK .7 y L Kelly Says: Americans Seem Indifferent to Crisis Employers and Workers Both After Money Planes Sent Britain Now Number 1025 By John W. Kelly Sips for Supper By Don Upjohn Willkie No Appeaser Wendell Willkie has again placed his patriotism above partisanship, as he did after the republican convention which nominated him against the will of the party leaders, by an nouncing that he favors the passage, with modifications, of resident Koosevclt s aid-to-Bntain bill. Last night he ap proved the "lend-lease" measure, asserting the nation faces an emergency under which "extraordinary powers must be wanted the elected executive," but declared the powers ehould be "for a fixed term, not too far in the future." And jvir. willkie plans a trip abroad to seek personal contact with Lilt! unuiiiiun. All of which is calculated to enrage the stand-pat repub Jicans who are striving to create an issue for the party. Al ready Alt M. Lamlon says that "If Mr. Willkie had revealed this to be his position before the republican national conven tion, he would not have been nominated." But the appeasers tuau ouub mm ii air. Kooseveit nad revealed his position be fore election, he would not have been elected. But both candidates pledged all aid to Britain short of actual war, so mey re not inconsistent in meeting the new emergency. Reactionary republican leaders should realize that in the STave crisis existing, which threatens the future of America as well as the rest of the world, the people will not tolerate discord. Lessons of history show this. The tories who, as appeasers, opposed the Revolutionary war, were regarded as traitors, the federalists who opposed the War of 1912 de- oi..ii.v uiuir pany, inose wno opposed the Civil war were branded copper-heads and the pacifists who opposed entry into the World war, did not come back until the reaction after the war enabled isolationists to prevent United States entry into the League of Nations and thus brought on the present uiwLau win, Mr- Willkie not only has the courage of his convictions, ...i o.k.ucu enuugn to realize the tatal effect of en couraging national dis-unity in a national crisis.

' A heavy fog settled over the city this morning and the legislature was in town along with It. Scien tlsts have not yet had a chance to analyze this phenomenon to ascer tain whether there's any law of cause and effect at work, but some folks are suspicious of the coinci dence. There will probably be more or less of a heavy fog in some parts when the legislature leaves. Assurances are given of holding the present session down to 40 days but similar assurances have been given in the past. The most defi nite guess, that can be given at thLi writing is that the legislature will be here until it leaves. Christmas was observed in the Russian, Greek and Syrian ortho- Novelties In the News Washington, Jan. 13 Aside from lew aoiiar-a-year men, no one Is becoming excited or making sac rlfices for Great Britain. Every speech President Roosevelt has made for a year (Including the campaign efforts) has warned his hearers that the way for the Unit ed states to defer-d Itself is by aid ing the allies. And still nothing happens; no sacrifices. For the past eight years the American people have been confronted by one crisis after another (some of them phoney) and It may be that, per- naps, they are Indifferent. Mr. Roosevelt's talk on "the state of the nation" last Monday was in tended to pep up production by throwing a scare into his listeners. Prom now on every effort will be made to get Americans out of the lethargy enshrouding them. The camouflaged "inspection" tours of the campaign were staged for show and when Mr. Willkie charged the defense program was falling down he was accused of playing politics with defense. In his acceptance speech Willkie promised to take his hearers down the road of sacrifice hardship and suffering (same talk as Winston Churchill made), but that did not appeal.

These Informants said Foreign Minister Alberto Guani was prepar ing a protest to the British govern ment against this reported viola tion of Uruguay's territorial waters as well as the Pan-American neu trality zone. The Mendoza, apparently the first French ship to try to reach home from Argentina since the French German armistice, sailed from Bue nos Aires Friday heavily laden with chilled beef, canned meat and wool. She stopped here to take on addi tional cargo before sailing last night for Marseille. The Mendoza was understood to have been without a navicert, Brit ish naval certificate which would clear her through the British block ade. The identity of the British vessel was not indicated, but naval sources said she might be the 7,580 ton cruiser Enterprise, which has been in the vicinity recently, or an aux iliary cruiser, possibly the Asturlas or Queen of Bermuda. Humane Society Making Progress At a meeting of the Marlon-Polk counties' humane society last Friday night special stress was placed upon what should be done by pet owners when their pets become lost and to prevent their loss. Dogs should have their license tags attached to them so that If they are picked up the pound master can get in touch with their owners Immediately. In case the dog Is not so Identified, owners will find lists of impounded dogs posted at the pound and at the po nce station. Pets are found now and then and their homes cannot be located, In which case the finder should notify Mrs. Sara M. Speck or Leroy Grote in saiem or Harvey Carpenter of Dallas. Any of these may be called when other difficulty concerning animals or children arises. A wait ing list exists at present of people wno win give nomes to such pets. A great deal of work of this sort Is being done by the humane society. Mrs. Percy R. Kelly and Robert r.

Phillips re turned to Italy today and was re ported bearing a special, personal message from President Roosevelt to King Victor Emmanuel. Phillips arrived In Genoa and rvas en route to Rome by automobile. Diplomatic quarters speculated on tne nature of the reported message, presumably concerning Italo-United states relations. Reports were current that Phil lips, former United States under secretary of state, was returning to Rome for only a short time the duration depending upon the nature of conversations he is bound to un dertake following his leave of ab sence in the United States. There were some reports that Phillips might return to Washing ton within a month or two to make a special report to Mr. Roosevelt. In connection with these reports It was pointed out that Alexander Kirk, who only recently was ap pointed charge d'affaires to the Rome embassy with the rank of minister, will continue at his post here despite Phillips' return. Kirk formerly was charge d'af faires at the United States embassy In Berlin. The American embassy here has been strengthened gener ally as compared to the embassy In Berlin.

Two Transport Planes Burned Salt Lake City, Jan. 13 (P) Unit ed Air Lines officials today awaited the cooling of molten metal to de termine the extent of damage caus ed when the company's main hangar burned at the Salt Lake municipal airport, destroyed two planes which originally cost $155,000 and injured two employes. Gasoline still flamed around the ruins early today. The hangar caught fire with ex plosive suddeness last night. Merlin R. Sparks, 29, and Gardner C. Young, 28, who received slight bums while dashing to safety through the flames, told of noticing a "peculiar odor" just before the fire. This sug gested, Division Superintendent Ted Johnson .said, .that gasoline vapor may have been present In the afr and may have been ignited. Johnson declared it would cost be tween $250,000 and $300,00 to replace the hangar. As part of the air raid precau tion drills held In Tokyo, Japan, temporary bridges are thrown over rivers and children taken across them.
