During his years of service in the
World War, Don Graham, legionaire of
Nyssa Post 79, was privileged to visit
the Holy Land and many ancient
places of great historic interest. On
June 23, 1914, he left Juntura for
Glasgow, Scotland, where he Joined the
army before America entered the con­
flict. After being twice wounded on the
battlefield he was sent to Greece in
1916, later to northern Africa and
Egypt.
At Mohamida-Sidi Bishr In Egypt,
Graham had charge of 31,000 war pris­
oners but he found time to visit all
historic spots. Among them were the |
Kiedives Palace and Harems, Port
Kammel Dick where Cleopatra’s palace
once stood, the pyramids and the Val­
ley of Kings where King T u ts toomb
was found.
People of all races live in Egypt but
the majority are Mohammedans. At
sunrise and sundown, they place their
prayer carpets on the ground and pray
very fervently. "Allah Is Oreat. There
is no God but God and Mohammed is
his prophet.”
Beyond the Sini desert, where thei
temperature ranges from 130 to 140
under canvas, will be found the city of
Jericho. The biblc tells that the walls
of Jericho fell after Joshua circled the I
city for six days blowing his trumpets. |
Herod built a city on the site and gave j
it to Cleopatra. It was also to Jericho |
that Jesus came to see Zacchaeus, the j
tax collector who climbed a tree that he
might sec Jesus as he passed.
The River Jordan, crossed by the
Children of Israel, flows through a j
tropical Jungle. The British used the I
well dug by Abraham and Isaac near
Gaza.
Every tourist is filled with awe and
reverence when he visits the City of
Bethlehem where the Christ child was
born. One may see the spot where the
manger stood. People of all faiths show
their reverence by presenting lami>s,
made of gold and Jewels, for the
Church of Nativity. One enters by a j
tiny doorway which is so small the
average person must crawl through as [
p sign of reverence.
An interesting sight is the Jaffa gate
a t Jerusalem. It was so small, General I
Allcnby entered it on foot when he took j
the city from the Turks who held it |
400 years. When the Kaiser entered I
Jerusalem during the World War he j
tore down a part of the wall.
Outside the wall in th Garden of the
Kings Is the holy sepulcher where a
great stone guards the toomb.

It discourages the development of new and
promising enterprises by taxing them while they
are getting on their feet, even though they are
making no profit. A net income tax would be
much more favorable to them, and later would
secure revenue when they were able to pay.

A person with a small income will, under
the sales tax, pay more proportionately than a
person with a large income. For instance, a per­
son who receives $2500.00 spends most of what
he makes, while the man who receives $1,000,-
000 a year spends a comparatively small part. It
seems more equitable to tax a man on what he
makes, rather than on what he spends.
