Senator Langer I Perhaps by the time this column is 1 published the fate of Senator William linger of North Dakota will have : been decided. For several days the ! Senate has been debating the question i as to whether or not he is entitled to sit in that Chamber. There is no quesj tion as to the legality or regularity of i his election. There are no charges of ; fraud, vote buying or ballot tamper- ' ing. There are no charges that Ito has conducted himself other than prol per since he has taken his seat in the | upper House. It is admitted that a ! clear majority of the voters of his ' State indicated by their ballots that they wanted him to represent their i State in the United States Senate. The charges against him are that his moral character is such that he is not en- ; titled to sit in that body. The writer . may be a bit old-fashioned but he still •believes that the people of Senator Langer's own State are a trifle better qualified to judge his morals than a group of Senators who have known him for little more than a year. The writer cannot bring himself around to believe that it was ever intended that the United States Senate is an exclusive club wherein those who are already there may blackball the chosen representative of a sovereign state. In the debate last week, Senator Barkley (Dem.) of Kentucky, the majority leader said, "So far as the Constitution is concerned, we could turn a man out because he had red hair." While the Senator may be right, the exercise of such an abuse of authority would shake the foundation of our boasted "democracy in a Republic" and our "sovereign Nation of many sovereign States." Wire-Tapping The House Judiciary Committee is considering another wiretapping Bill land will probably report it out favorably next week. His bill authorizes |the Department of Justice (F.B.I.) and the military and naval intelligence I units to tap wires and record conversations in suspected cases of sabotage, espionage, treason, sedition, conpiracy, violations of Neutrality laws or violation of the Acts requiring reg two - ocean navy was "just plain dumb." It was after this that the Congress and the Navy developed plana for a two-ocean Navy which the President subsequently endorsed. Consequently what was once "just plain dumb" has now become the "moat crucial of all our necessities." STATE TAXIS SHOULD HOT B* UDUOXD " 'i. - The pT&ient would appear to be an excellent time for state and local governments to put their financial houses in order. Since the beginning of the Defense Program there has" been a remarkable improvement in the state and local fiscal picture. As the national income has mounted there has been an upward trend in state receipts, and this is almost certain to continue throughout the war period' | On the other hand, the trend in state I expenditures has flattened out. For example New York State showj ed a surplus of thirty-seven million dollars for the fiscal year 1941. As a result the Empire State has eiiminat- I ed 'the one per cent emergency income tax on 1241 incomes. Even despite this discontinuance there is every indication that New York State revenues for 1942 will exceed those for 1940. In these days of mounting federal debt and unbalanced national budgets, the excellent financial position of" most of our states and municipalities is ; decidedly the silver lining in the dark cloud. rnmmt RCllCIN •D.RCIO Riverside Church, New "York City, of which Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick is pastor, is making a special point of welcoming soldiers and sailors to all their services of worship and to their meetings of young people. All'visiting members of the armed forces are asked to sign the church's "Army and Navy Register," and to leave also the name of a parent, friend, relative or minister from the home town. To each such person Dr. Fosdick writes a note of greeting advising of the visit to his church of the soldier, sailor or marine.

C. State officials are being beleaguered Yang of Soochow University, China, to cut state taxes. Those clamoring Flour Mills Watt McHenry -- Phone 92R for the reduction maintain that if state taxes were reduced it would to a certain degree soften the blow of the tremendous tax burden which the Federal Government finds it necessary to levy in order to prosecute the war J We admit there is home logic in this contention but in our humble opinion, expenditures are the only things the states should reduce at this time. They should not reduce taxes. They now have a golden opportunity to use surplus state funds to retire debts and establish reserves. Maintaining taxes at present levels will assist also in preventing or minimizing inflation. Our Federal Government will emerge from the war with a terrific national debt, if not absolutely bank- , rupt, at the very best on the verge of i it would seem natural that the whole country would be surcharged with war psychology. But the nation's leaders have not allowed immediate problems to crowd out the educational and moral development of those who will be the leaders in the future. They realize that China's greatest battle is to be fought in the realm of thought and faith. There is a new interest in religion and a greater appreciation of the spiritual values of life.

Two-Ocean Navy According to the "Report to the Nation" by the Office of Facts and Figures, the 'Two-Ocean Navy" is the "most crucial of all our necessities." Since many persons in high position are attempting to belittle Congress, pointing out that the Congress didn't see what was coming but that the President did, it is interesting to note from whence the idea of the two-ocean navy originated. At the time the President was preparing his defense program of May 16 1940, he stated his If they are not harassed by debt at that time, they can make a tremendous contribution toward getting the nation back into a solvent condition. To achieve this seems to be worth the sacrifice of continuing to pay state taxes at present levels and not insisting on tax reductions. United States, in a recent address.
