God Bless America
One of a. series of editorials under
this heading to be released by
this newspaper.
This editorial was written by:
Governor Clarence D. 'Martin
I am proud that Washington
Newspaper Publishers have invited
me to contribute the first editorial in
a series they will use under the
heading “God Bless America." I feel
mate deeply on the subject than I
can put into expression in words for
lowean thatlam,andallthatl
have to these United States and to
my own State of Washington, of
which I am a native son. \
Today, America is still a tfree na
tion. It is still a land of opportun
ity. where every man may stand on
his own feet. I want to keep it that
way for my sons and for yours.
America and the State 01' Wash
lngton still permit every man, no
matter whether his station be high
or low, to think, speak and do as he
pleases, so long as he does not
break the laws upon which this na
tion was founded, and whim have
been necessary to keep it a. nation
of free people, with the right of the
individual to life, liberty and the
pursuit of what he deems may be his ‘
happiness.
Where else in today’s world is
there a nation which has fthis free
dam?
Where else can we live through
the day and night without fear of
the hand of arbitrary authority on
the shoulder, the rear of bullets or
bombs?
In my opinion the danger to Am
erica lies not in any he or combin
ation at foes from without, no mat
ter how powerful. It lies only in any
tunable lailure of ours to appreciate
the blessings of the government un
der which we live.
America did not always exist. It
was found scarcely more than a
century and a half ago. This free
dom which we enjoy was purchased
by the toil, the sacrifice of our fore
fathers in both blood and treasure.
They knew what they wanted, and
they valued it so highly that they
were willing to and did make any
sacrifice for it. It has come to us of
:3; present generation without ef-
There are forces in the world to
day who look on us with greedy
eyes. They would make vessels of
us. and take our resources. They
are entirely without compunction.
WewlllkeepAmerlc‘aasitlsand
continue Aw enjoy its blessing. only
if we appreciate what these bless
ings mean, and by our conduct and
our character deserve them. As a
united people, with the resolve and
character or the- founders or this
nation, we will be unconquerable.
Without that appreciation we may
have two ocean naval strength, a
great Army, but they would mean
little. ’We have examples of nations
with great armies, but who were
sick at heart, whose character had
become decadent.
-I cannot ”conceive of an America
that will let its freedom, its man

builded a civilization that is super
ior to any that ever has existed. An
aroused America. can perform any
task, surmount any test that it may
be called upon to face. Let us re
fleot earnestly on the blessings that
we enjoy and keep them against
any force, at any cost for ourselves
and posterity.

Initiative No. 141 will require, if
valid and made effective, an added
expense to the state of about thir
«ty-two millions of dollars annually.
Old age aid would therefore take
about 40 percent of all state reve
nues, unless new tax sources are
discovered. A similar law in Colo
rado, where $35.00 per month pen
sions are paid, takes over one-third
of Colorado state revenues, accord
ing to government reports. One leg- I
islator has suggested as solution a
poll tax of about $40.00 per year,
to be paid by every state citizen of
voting age.
After -the last election there seems
little reason longer to delay the sub
mission to the people of a consti
tutional amendment making perm
anent the 40-min limitation on the
property taxation. This limitation
has been «passed by the people five
times, .the last one this month, and
without material opposition. It
would seem about time to place this
oft-expressed popular mandate in its
proper place, with other fundament
>3l limitation, in the state constitu
on.
THEY'RE PERKZEN'G UP
This isn’t meant to be impolite
when we repeat the very old wheeze
of “every dog has his day.” The
folks who are in the business of
hair-dressing, manicuring, massag
ing and selling cosmetics, tell us
that during this next year “the
competition for men will be some
thing fierce.” There is expected to
be a 300 percent increase in cos
metics and hair-dos than last year.
It seems that with Uncle Sam call
ing a number of the eligibles from
the field, the ladies are going to
have to do extra dolling up to at
tract those whose numbers haven’t
come up. This is probably good
’news to the trade Imm a business
standpoint, and is no doubt equally
Vinteresting to some of the chaps in
‘Kennewick, who are in line for the
‘feminine onslaught.
HOW-MADE
We expect to see more “Made in
America” toys this year at Christ
mas than ever before. This creates
added employment for adults and
more Americanized toys .for child
ren. American toys have always
been more sturdy in construction
than the Japanese and German
’made toys. A buyer in children’s
' things hinted of the very attractive
toys we shall see this gift-tide. She
lsaid that to her every American
teddy bear had the same expression
land the majority of dolls were not
as delicate in appearance as the
dolls cherished by the English
children. A number or the English
refugee children are helping to de
sign dolls and bears and soldiers for
,the Christmas trade and the results
:are very pleasing and different.
Every indication is that the coun
try is on the eve of a great indus
trial revival. Industries that in 1933
showed large losses are showing to
day big earnings. General Electric
has orders booked for $100,000,000
worth of turbines alone. This is
greater by $31,000,000 than the high
point during the World war. West
inghouse turbine orders broke all
records recently with a back log of
$65,000,000 to be filled. Orders for
electrical equipment are taken as
an indication out substantial indus
‘trial activity. 4
LONGER LIFE
{Perhaps we haven’t considered it,
feeling secure in our knowledge
that medicine and science has been
advancing yearly in controlling the
epidemics of illness that visit young
and old. But have these older resi
dents of Kennewick stopped to real
ize the dewer contagious disease
signs that make their unhappy way
to house-fronts? Signs of diph
theria, scarlet fever, measles, which
warned that too many children
were not growing up. The mortal
ity rate of children between the ages
of one to fourteen, has been cut
down so that it is only 1-5 of what
it was ‘3O years ago. 'llhe afore
mentioned diseases have been prin
cipally the ones reduced. Influenza
and pneumonia have come in for
'their share of medical attention and
discovery. If we could make living
lcomiittions as d’avomble in propor
tion we can really make for longer
lives for our young.

When we think of the lousy stuff
they are called 'upon to sing, we
cannot help but feel sorry [for some
of the radio singers. Most of the

silly trash and inane gibberish.

One remarkable thing about the
radio is that it doesn’t seem to make
any difference how many radios are
tuned in at. one time. 'lhere are over
$5,000,000 radios in the United Stem
and during the recent campaign
they were an «tuned in all; one time.
