NYSSA LOSES A LOVED FRIEND— YSSA lost one of the best friends it ever had when Bob Millar passed away quietly in his sleep Monday morning; and every person who knew Bob feels the loss keenly. As for friends, Bob numbered his by the hundreds and every one earned by his sympathetic under standing, loyalty and inherent love for his fel low men. As an administrator of city affairs, Bob Mil lar was a model of efficiency and always a steadying influence in city affairs. The city lost a man who could ill be spared when the Al mighty called Bob home. To us who remain, in our naiTow viewpoint, it looks as though Bob’s work was not finished and his sudden death a cruel blow but we can ease our minds and hearts with the knowledge that God knows best and had need for him. N ------------- * ------------- “TAKE AN INTEREST IN GOVERNMENT,’ SAYS LEGION LEADER— N outstanding national leader visited Nyssa Tuesday morning when Harry W. Colmery, national commander of the American Legion, was in town. He heads one of the outstanding organizations of modem times and it was unfor tunate that his visit here was necessarily brief. A Commander Colmery’s message, delivered in Boise Monday, was one everyone should remem ber and write in bold letters in their mind. He said, “If you aren’t willing to do your duty as a member of the city council, or the school board, or the other civic bodies, it isn’t up to you to (crit icize the result of what is done. After all, Am erica is a government of the people, and it is the people who determine whether or not this gov ernment is to succeed." It is fortunate that such outstanding leaders as Commnder Colmery realize the danger faced by our system of government. The greatest danger today is the indifference of the Ameri can people. Too many people are content to set back with smug indifference and let a compara tively small group of politicians make rules. The only time the average American takes any in terest in governmental affairs is when it hits him in the pocketbook. Looking at it from another viewpoint, it isn’t quite fair to those civic minded people in a com munity; for the rest of the population to be slackers. Too many good community workers have been soured by lack of cooperation, gen eral indifference, and unwillingness of the other fellow to bear his share of the responsibility. Speaking before a banquet of Legion mem bers Monday night, Commander Colmery plead ed with them to recognize that the rights of free speech, free press and free assemblage are three of the greatest bulwarks of free govern ment. “The average business man,” he said, “stands around with his head under a flower pot in a storm cellar, and has not had the courage to step forward and defend the system which has made him what he is. He is not willing to under stand that we are undergoing a social change. He thinks that those who disagree with him should be r e f la te d by law and policemen. He does not realize that if the American system under which he operates is to continue, it is up to him to prove his cause.” ------------------- * --------- --------- VISIBLE VS. INVISIBLE TAXES— “IT would be an excellent thing if some of the many taxes now levied indirectly were promptly scrapped in favor of direct personal taxes, even on the smallest incomes,” says the New York Times. “That would give us an electorate with a greater sense of responsibility in the matter of public finance, and legislatures with more backbone in the matter of retrenchment.” The persistent belief possessed by millions of citizens that they pay no taxes wnatsover be cause their incomes fall below certain “income tax exemptions”— coupled with the attitude that “the rich guys have to pay”—has bred an almost callous disregard for government spend ing.
