Bible Thought for Today We despaired even of life: but we had the sentence of death in our-stlvesi, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver. 2 Cor. growing state obligation. It Is becoming more and more obvious, in the opinion of this paper, that sales tax revenue in Kansas Js going to have to be used for relief, not for reduction of property taxes. The point that the Kansas legislature will have to bear in mind when it attacks this problem next January IS the fact that relief Is not only new government activity in Kansas but it is one which is not comparable in any respect to other government activities and one which dOfs not conform to previously accepted theories of taxation.

Each county to a large degree can write its own ticket with regard to the ordinary expenses of government. It can spend as much money on schools as it can afford, it can build as much or as little governmental machinery as it can pay for. It logical that these expenses should be paid for locally by the people who are concerned and who are bene-fitted. On the other hand, no county is responsible for Its relief load nor can any county do anything about it. It is not one countys fault that it may have low assessable valuation along with a large percentage of unemployed population due perhaps to the very recent collapse of an important industry.

Neither is it to another countys particular credit if it happens to have a high valuation along with a minimum number of unemployed due, for example, to a recent oil boom. 'Yet these situations exist side by side and there is only one possible conclusion to draw, namely, that relief is a state problem, not a county problem. If a citizen of Kansas is unemployed and deserving of relief, hfe is exactly as deserving in Crawler county as he is in Pratt county and the fact that he lives in one than the other should not affect the size of his relief check. Nor should the fact that he lives In one county rather than the other result in unbearable financial distress to Crawford county while the citizens of Pratt county are going relatively scot-free. It is fair enough that each county should be required to make a maximum poor fund upon Its own citizens before asking aid from a state fund, but that is exactly as far as each countys responsibility should go, in our opinion.

To extend that responsibility beyond the maximum levy into a bottomless pit of bond issues which may eventually wreck the county altogether is bad morals and bad business, utterly unfair. After each county has levied the present maximum tax of 1.625 mills the sales tax should carry the balance of the load of providing adequate relief in Kansas. After that, if there still is some money left, then, of course. It should be returned to the various counties for reduction of property taxation and we should net even object if that balance were returned to those counties which had contributed more in sales taxes than they had received back in relief money. But until relief has been taken care of.

It is preposterous to lighten still further a tax load that already is bearable In the more favored counties while the less favored ones continue to slide surely and swiftly toward financial disaster. A $3,700,000,000 "Hypo. Medical missionaries are among the most creditable and successful of all evangelists. Ministering first to the physical needs of the people and giving them this tangible evidence of the love and kindness and helpfulness which Is the heart of the religion they profess, they later find a fertile field in which to sow the seed of Christianity. It would be very strange indeed if a medical missionary, coming upon a man with a broken leg, should give him a hypodermic to ease his pain and then sit down and start preach -Irg CLitLaity to him, attempting Americans who fail in business should not worry; there is always a good chance of becoming a congressman at ten thousand annually and mileage and clerk hire.

Both houses in Washington are overflowing with failures but there is always room for a few more. If. you are at the head of a successful business it Is almost a certainty you do not know what wages you should pay. All men who employ labor should now feel greatly relieved; a committee in Washington will soon be telling business men what wages to pay. and how many hours to work employees to become prosperous.

The government has done a good deal for the farmers; everyone should rejoice now that something effective is going to be done for business men. Millions have failed because of low wages and long hours and no advice from Washington. I have said a good many disagreeable things about American education and have lately found reason to feel regret. A niece of mine has graduated from one of our higher institutions of learn ig; and she is about the smartest person I have ever known. I no longer take the trouble to consult the encyclopedia; when I want to know something I ask her, and she has not yet failed to give satisfaction.

While she was away attending an expensive school, her father and I agreed it was a waste of money; almost daily she proves we were badly mistaken. I wish to apologize for what I have said about American education; but before becoming a convert to the American plan of teaching I want to encounter at least one more graduate who knows something. My boy is a fine young man, a mother sobs. She knows better and says that, hoping he will finally amount to something. Not one compliment in a thousand the women utter for the men is deserved; and the men kndw it as well as the women.

I hare always agreed it would help the men if the women would tell the truth about them a little oftener. Telling a liar you dont believe him never stops him from lying. For years a man has been saying he will finally pay every dollar he owes. I know he wont, he knows he wont, every creditor knows he wont, but he keeps on saying he will. Last week I told him we would all think more of him if he would write a piece for the paper and say he never intends to pay anything, and thus tell the truth for the first time.

Every man has a grand plan to relieve American suffering; he also hopes to become rich advancing it That is the trouble with all plans invariably they cost too much, should like for once to consider plan that was free. I have actually accomplished a lit tie good in the world. A man says my writing has discouraged him from running for office. I hope readers will accord me the credit honestly due: The man Is not re liable. A politician tells me there is actually no excuse for millions of public Jobs; but he admitted confidentially there is considerable excuse for the one he holds.

Every politician believes the same thing about jobs. CHERRY GROVE AND CRESCENT VALLEY Mr. and Mrs. Ben Collison, Dale, Misses Virginia Dice, Jacqueline Ronsick and Donna Ostrander spent Sunday at Camp Cauble. Ardith Collison who had spent the week there, returned home with them.

RAILROADS STILL SAFEST. Ones first reaction in reading about yesterdays railroad disaster which brought death to about 50 people is to be horrified and to wonder if some precaution or some In spection routine might not have been followed to prevent it. On second thought, however, one is even more inclined to marvel that similar accidents have not occurred more frequently than they have considering the millions of passenger miles that are traveled over the railroad systems of this country each year and the limitless opportunity that always exists for unknown and unexpected hazards to arise. This was the first passenger fatality on the Great Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad in 20 years, and most other railroads have had records almost as spotless.

Automobiles will kill as many people In the United States over one holiday week end as the railroads will kill in ten years of ordinary operation. Rail roads are still just about the safest place a person can be in these United States of America outside of a rocking cjialr or a bed. From Other Papers i SWEDENS DEMOCRATIC KING. Minneapolis Star: A paradox that future historians may scratch their heads about is the fact that a certain king in A. D.

1938 was an out standing personification of all that democracy holds dear. An equally amazing circumstance is the coexistence; in the country ruled by that king, of a leftist government and a royal family that regard each other with understanding respect and admiration. The country, of course, is Sweden, and the ruler is King Gustaf whose eightieth birthday yesterday was the occasion for a spontaneous expression of homage and affection from all his subjects. Few monarchs in history have better earned the loyalty of their people, or more fully lived up to democratic creeds in word and deed and mode of life, than has King Gustaf. The governing purpose of Gustafs rule has been a simple one peace and good will among his own people and toward his neighbors.

That principle, and the success with which a wise leader has made it work ih his 30-year reign, explain why states-ment and government officials who would be regarded as radicals In this country have as much regard for their king as does the average citizen. And that may explain, too, why STOWES IN STAMPS x. I How Andrew Jackson Was Marked for Life TyiLD, quick-tempered, Inde-" pendent, young Andrew Jack-son found a call most appealing to his spirit in resisting the British invasion of the late 1770s. While scarcely 13, he fought in the battle of Hanging Hock, Aug. 1, 1789, and the next year he and his brother joined their neighbors in a brash attempt to capture a body of British troops at Waxhaw Church near his home in Lancaster, SCI The attack failed and the two Jackson boys were taken prison-: ers.

Andrew was put to work for the officers, and was ordered one day to black the commander boots. Instantly, fiery young Andrew rebelled, whereupon the officer struck him a vicious saber blow, marking future president for life. Moreover, that blow was to instil) in Jackson an eternal hatred for the British, an antipathy which played no little part in the shaping of his dramatic career. He gained full revenge as the hero of New Orleans 34 years later. Jackson is shown here on the 2-cent brown stamp of the S.

issue Of 1870. The stamp is reproduced slightly more than one and one-half times actual size. NBA fKrfltf. radicalism fits iri harmoniously with Swedish rule. Answer the radical's demands with an earnest effort to improve the condition of the people and a program of peace and good will, instead of building of distrust and lack of confidence, and youll get co-operation instead of agaln-the-government movements: King Gustaf has brilliantly proved that a king can be a democrat, and that democracy can work in a kingdom.

V- I 25 YEARS AGO Items From This Register of June 20, 1913. The young son of Mrs. Sherman, of 824 North street, was bitten by a neighbors dog yesterday evening, and if the provisions erf the new dog ordinance were now being observed, this would entitle the animal to a death sentence. It Is said the dog has shown a fondness tor this form of sport biting, not dying. Old Elsmore The farmers are all hoping for rain.

Today was the last day for paying the last half of 1912 taxes, if the 5 per cent penalty is to be evaded, and there was a crowd at the county treasury all day. Yesterday some was collected. The city records at Fort Scott show 163 automobiles there on March 1st, but the assessors only found 111 to list with the state. Similar reports come from all over the state and Allen county 1s no exception. The campaign for the opening of moving picture shows on Sunday is becoming quite general over the state and is watched with keen interest by the show managers in the cities that enforce the Sunday closing law strictly.

L. E. Lannlgan of the Iola Electric returned yesterday from St. Louis with orders to begin immediately the repairs on the road. Three carloads of ties have been ordered and the work of painting the cars will begin today.

The Moran Boosters, who had visited Mildred, Bayard, Kincaid, Sa-vonburg, and Elsmore' advertising Chautauqua, coming to Iola, seem to appreciate their visit here the most. The Moran Herald says of the trip here; Upon reaching the center of Iola, a circuit was made of the court house square and a few of the other streets, the stop being made at the southeast comer of the park, where a concert was played to a crowd of perhaps 1,000 or more people. that part of the park being crowded and the streets lined with autos and buggies. Every selection was applauded and the boys heard many complimentary remarks about the splendid music. Treats of cigars and the delicacies dispensed at Iola1 many soda fountains were generous on the part of Iola people and the trip to the metropolis of the county will ever be remembered by the Moran contingent.

n-r A City Ignores State Order Emporia. Kas AP) City officials are ignoring a state highway commission order to remove or replace the towns two electric traffic lights, but the matter has complications. To a recent warning from George A. Reed, state highway safety engineer, that the city had not complied with the states request several months ago to remove the lights or replace them with the standard type, city commissioners replied that if the lights were forced out Emporia would have none as no funds are available. However, an Emporia motorist, recently arrested for running one of the signals, got his case dismissed by announcing he would appeal because the signals were not standard.
