They Do Not Forget
There is one day that remains truly American,
something that Hitlerism cannot destroy. That
is Decoration day. While we are struggling to
maintain a civilization for the living, we do not
forget our loved ones who lie peacefully on the
hillside. (
There was a time, not so many years ago, when
Decoration day was observed with a good bit of
formality. Perhaps there was a parade to the ce
metery where a program appropriate to the occa-

there was playing of patriotic music by the band
It was not a gala occasion but rather a solemn
one. Today the parade and program are absent
but the spirit of love and devotion is as strong as
ever. We go quietly to the silent city, clean our
family plots and decorate the graves and just as
quietly steal away knowing full well that if those
for whom this work of love is done could speak
they would say "well done, thou good and faith
ful servant."
The time is not far distant when once again
there will be a parade to the cemetery, with a
program of eulogy, patriotic music and the sound
ing of taps. There will be a younger generation
to take over and while their manner may differ
from their elders, the same urge to carry out the
tradition of Decoration (or Memorial) day will be
just as strong for they will have fought a bitter
war to have the privilege of observing the day in
the true American manner.
A slight increase in juvenile
crimes and a similar decrease in
crimes by mature persons has kept
the crime records where they were

War Loan Advertising
Another war loan drive is in the offing and al
ready publicity material is coming to the news
paper office desk. As the campaign of selling
is a headache to the bond committee, so is the
matter of selling publicity a worry to the news
paper publishers. In other words, neither the
selling of bonds nor the selling of publicity is a
pleasant task one that would bje chosen in pref
erence to a less important job.
The trouble is that all of us are in this war up
to our chins and have no alternative but to see it
through, unless we deliberately lie down on the
job. Each asd every one of us is expected to do
his or her part and we all know that carrying on
vith a war is not child's play. Instead of growing
easier, each bond drive appears to be growing
more difficult and the Fifth War Loan campaign

STATES RIGHTS
"With 50 percent of the land of
western states federally owned and
with the government holdings
gradually being enlarged, it is high
time that congress recognize the in
cqalities of the tax situation and
pass remedial legislation," says
Earl Day, member of the state tax
commission. He points to the tak
ing off the tax rolls the land se
cured for the operation of Camp
Adair. This meant that 50 percent
of the valuation of property values
was lost to 10 school districts, how

tion, schools and law enforcement
must be maintained.
