JR Editor ntul Pnhlishev Office Phone 4 — Home Phone *44 THURSDAY, JAN. 18, 1934 CLEVELAND'S WARNING. Walter E. Frew, chairman of the Corn Exchange Bank Trust Company of New York, recently distributed booklets containing the text of Grover Cleveland's special message to Congress “on August 8, 1893, and that part of hiai third annual message on December 2, 1896, pertaining to sound money. The most widely quoted passages from the message are as follows; “All history warns us against rash experiments which threaten violent changes in our monetary standard and the degradation of our currency. The past is full of lessons teaching not only the economic dangers but the national immorality that follow in the train of such experiments. I will not believe that the American people can be persuaded after sober deliberation to jeopardize their na- . lion’s prestige and proud standing by encouraging financial nostrums, nor that they will yield to the false allurtnents of cheap money when they realize that it must result in the weakening of that financial integrity and rectitude which thus far in our history has been so devotedly cherished as one of the traits of true American^m. t Our country’s indebtedness, whether owed by the government or existing between individu is, hM been contracted with reference tcTour present standard. To decree by act of Congress that these debts shall be payable in less valuable dollars than those within the contemplation and intention of the parties when contracted would operate to transfer by the fiat of law and without compensation an amount of property and a volume of rights and interests almost incalculable.’*—Kock Island Argus. ■■ i 0- , RECEIPTS FROM SALE OF land TO STATE MUST BE REPORTED ON GROSS INCOME Farmers and other persons who sell land to the state for highway puip- must rep< rt the receipt* from the sale on their gruss income tax returns, it as pointed out by Al Korpal, field agent for the state gross income tax division. “In fact," Mr. -Korpal said, “receipts from all sales made to the staty' or unit -pt the Federal government are subject to gross income tax. Income i j. s.Ues is exempt only when the h. nej is received direct from the government." The final date for filing is January 30. All receipts from May 1 to December 31, 1933, must be reported on the annual return, regardless of previous returns filed, j Additional steps for the complete checking of annual gross income tax returns have just been taken at the State House, with thie mailing of 2,000 forms to operators of chain stores or other businesses which have more than one location. The new forms, which are to accompany the regular annual returns, will show the amount of income received at each location, whereas the return itself shows the total income of the entire business.

C. Stoelting, James Traster, Advisory Board o The Journal printed a copy of the j 1 finance Ordinance* passed by the Board of Trustees of the Town of i I Syracuse, covering Town expenditur- '■ es for this year, 1934. Did you study it? I It shows that we will spend $8,725 during this year. Os that total no less than ($4.000) is to be spent for ; electricity for lighting and power by , < the Town. One-third of all our Town expenses goes to thia one item. It : [ doesn’t take a philosopher to know J | that our electricity coat* far too' I much. The fact that many if not all' the high officials of the Northen In-* diana Light and Power Company are, arrested for crime doesn’t help much, since the rates will not be changed by that fact. What about these rate* we pay?

Anyone who does not [ agree with views expressed here is welcome to write in reply so long as the writer’s identity is known to the editor.) I didn’t say ut was dead, a-tall. Yur Bible says: “God so loved the world****’. Mind you, “loved f the world”, itself. Didn’t just love dur [ suttenfy no’count an’ maybe non-ex- ‘ isting souls. Not hardly! But to stay in the Protestant era’s ‘ just like staying in Jew or Catholic ' era. Why? ’Cause it stops us, ’n [ enshrines “Arrested Development” ’stead of “Livin’ Progress,” same ds Jews and Catholics did. For— True Living Means Progress. The future of our generation and ■ of our country is dark with mystery and the menace of major disaster. One chief reason for it lays at the door of Protestant Church leadership. Because of their vital incom-' potency, the soul of America, the soul of Democracy, could not be born. A “soul” implies unity and an entity. This country has no vital unity, no entity, and hence it has no soul. Its soul failed in its attempt to be born. And the blame for that lies largely at the door of Protestant leadership. „ The one living process visible within Protestantism during our generation is the process of aping the Roman Catholic Church in erecting a pyramid of Church ati hority. Protestant ministers do rfot admit owing any serious duties' to Society. They are too much absorbed in their own Institutional Self (their Denomination), usually their own parisKQlr)/ most cases they are absorbed almost wholly in the matter of their own personal economic salvation. They not only fail to do their social duty, but fail to see that it is a duty—fail even to know that they have any social duty. They float with the Socil current and never breast it. As a result, Protestanism is as dead now as is the worship of Baal; and such death presages also the death of the American Family, American Democracy and the American idea of life. I Why fool ourselves longer? There is a vast “over-production” of preachers and church buildings, and , a lowering of quality in proportion, until deatli itself has supervened. Take Syracuse, it is no exception, ' but it illustrates the rule. So look at it. Syracuse has a population of about

Are they too high, or are they low or are they medium. Well, that all depends. A book has been printed lately showing electric rates over the United States and Canada, from which I take the following: The average cost of electricity to the ultimate consumer, in the United States plants which are privately owned, is 5.78 cents per K. W.H. nearly six cents per unit. But the city-owned plant at Seattle supplies current to citizens for 2.82 cents per same unit. The city-owned plant at Tacoma, Wash., charges citizens only 1.73 cents. And would you believe that Winnipeg, Canada, charges its citizens only 0.88 of a cent, less than one cent where we pay nearly six cents, or six times as much. Now, don’t say the city charges taxes besides, unless you are itching to be in agreement with our light company officials. And don’t say these are just isolated cities I mention, because the average charge of city-owned plants for the whole Province of Ontario (26 cities) is but 1.45 cents to our nearly six. And don’t say “Hurrah for Monarchy and down with Democracy." The electric rates are hints that we who are the people, are of rather poor stuff, who cannot do good Work, even for ourselves, when he have the best tool to work with—' Democracy. Our “thouhgts" are

1,200 people. Yet it has six churches to support. For each people in the town, for each 50 families, there \ is a piece of town realty, a church structure with furnishings, its expenses for heat, light and upkeep, a preacher and usually a family—the larger his family the more restricted his vision and interests. Syracuse preachers are doubtless equal to those in other towns. BUT what do preachers give to” their sheep? Nothing but what they know in advance is not in the slightest capable of affecting the life of parishioners unless it be to encourage “other-worldliness” which deters effort to play a part in social thought and action. Such is a picture of Protestantism in Syracuse and in America as well. As a result, such also is the picture of the American family. American Democracy and the American idea. Can I prove this? Certainly! Religion is our deepest-seated conviction. The churches undertook to guide our adult generations and to provide religious ideas for our young generations. The power was theirs, the responsibility w< s theirs; and so the failure is theirs and the blame is s theirs. If not, why not? The prodigal son, because he was born in the midst of plenty, did not appreciate his treasures until he was forced to eat husks thrown to s the swipe. But he was an individual and had a father to go to. In the same way, our living generation was 1 born to blessings, not only in the sense of a full belly, but including * that item in the larger, better sense encompassing all life and living, j But when and if, as prodigals, ,we waken and realize what has happened jto us, what shall We do? For it is the social “father” th;-t we are losing—the American Family, American Democracy and the American , idea. The prodigal son awoke and was hungry, so he went to his father and was filled. But when and if [ we, as social prodigals, awaken, we will be prodigals without a “father” to go to. We would hunger for our ’ “father”—-hunger for the American Family, American Democracy and the American idea—hunger for the departed brains, decency and selfrespect—but we would be unable to go to our “father”, because it is now being dissolved before oiir very eyes. A little more time, a continuation of childish enterprise by Protestant leadership, a little more floating with the current, will bring our era to a definite close that constitutes - complete and major human disaster.

[more liable to originate and tb>£er- \ minate near the pyloric end of our stomach, than in either lobe of the brain. That is the only reason electric rates are so high here,. But let’s now add to the picture what we all pay for light and power in our homes and business. Not less than $10„000 per year. So, believe it lor not, $14,000 of real money leaves 'Syracuse every year for»electric current. Even if only half of it is criminally excessive, still they take $7,000 from our pockets—yet we pay for police protection against chicken thieves and petit larceny.
