The Lighter Side
By Did West
By Uniiad Prat* Intarnational WASHINGTON UPI — Vice Presidents of the United States are seldom long remembered after they leave office. Some are forgotten even before they leave office. There was one veep, however, who achieved an enduring jjlace in our garden of memories — Thomas R. M a r$hall of Indiana. - he namt doesn’t ring a bell, you say? Well, sire, in that Jase you are definitely a trivia quiz dropout. For it was Marshall who, as Vice President during the Wilson Administration, uttered the immortal lines: “What this country needs is a good 5-cent cigar.” Fifty years have passed since that pearl dropped from his lips but it still stands as a model Vice Presidential contribution to the policies that guide this nation. No vice President in the ensuing half century has matched its lucidity, succinctness and all-round logic. I The way the system now operates, a Vice President -couldn’t make a statement like .that without first clearing it With the White House. This Imposes severe restraints on men like our current Vice President, Hubert H. Humphrey. Or is it Hubert H. Hempfree ? Suppose that Humphrey, or
Hempfree, were to advocate the 5-cent cigar as a national goal. He would find himself in conflict with President Johnson’s own economic guideposts. In order to bring himself in line with the administration, Humphrey would have to say "What this country needs is a good 3.2-cent cigar.” Despite such adverse conditions, however, there are still ways that a Vice President can immortalize himself. I don’t want to make him feel bad, but Humphrey has just missed a golden opportunity. For months, as you know, the nation has been in turmoil over whether gentlemen should offer plastic-tipped cigars to ladies. An important part of the controversy is the fragrance that clings to women after being wreathed in cigar smoke. The General Cigar C o. recently achieved a scientific breakthrough that may go a long way toward mitigating the dispute. It discovered a way to add menthol to cigars to give them a more lady-like aroma. I know not to what greater glories Humphrey may eventually ascend, but he has lost forever his chance to become the U. S. Vice President who saidt “What this country needs is a mentholated cigar."
Ind. Municipal League To Meet INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The Indiana Municipal League opens its 66th annual convention here Tuesday, with proposals for raising the state’s cigarette tax and making changes in sales taxes scheduled to be considered the first day. The league is considered the official organization for Hoosier cities and towns. Its executive' and resolutions committees have approved 22 resolutions for sub- j mission to the full membership Tuesday. The convention will wind up on Wednesday. One resolution calls for a onecent increase in per-package tax on sales of cigarettes, stating that "the increase in the tax from 3 to 6 cents per package has not adversely affected the volume of cigarette sales in Indiana.” The resolution says Indiana’s tax is 1.2 cents below the average imposed by other states. Another resolution calls “for the distribution to the general funds of cities and towns on the basis of population, additional state-collected taxes and the granting of local authority to impose taxes other than property tax.” Other proposals to be considered include calling on the 1967 Legislature to put the question of a constitutional convention to a referendum, and a proposal that the league go on record as opposing the proposed national park at the Indiana Dimes.
