THINKING OUT
. LOUD
By H. M. L.
Thinking of Armistice Day and
other holidays commemorative of
wars and war endings in this country, it occurs to us that we_ shall
\pe asking
eongress to declare another national
holiday and perhaps two of them,
one for the end of the war in the Atlantic and another for the end of the
Pacific war. Officially of course,
neither war is ended nor likely to be
in the near future, for the reason
that when the war is declared officially at end, a lot of the emergency
powers granted the president will end
also.
At the moment very few of us
would like to see these powers ended abruptly since it would confound
the confusion which already envelopes Washington like a dense fog. But
when the total war, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific is declared
ended, that will probably be one day
at anyrate, which congress will set
aside asa national holiday. Veterans
who fought our global will ask for
it undoubtedly, and we do not believe there will be any objection.
As time goes on we accumulate
holidays. One might expect the
thrifty. Yankees ‘would eventually
combine memorial holidays in
and save. several days to the worka-day calendar. For instance, we now
have Decoration Day and Armistice
Day, and Independence Day. which
since it ‘originated in the midst of a
war might easily be and sometimes
is ,treated aS a memorial day.
add another holiday in
those whe perished in World War
IT, that will be four holidays commerorating the heroic dead of four
wars. We were left nio holiday for
the War of 1812, the Mexican War
or the Spanish American War.

If we
memory of
But time has proved the Yanks
are not only thrifty but they are also
idealistic, which means that they
will seek to commemorate by a holiday those whioo gave their lives for
freedom, maintaining the union of
states, and championing the freedom of other peoples upon this
planet. A holiday in which the-minds
and hearts of the nation are especthose who
have made the complete sacfifice for
their country is an act of veneration
and consecration which draws’ us
close together in a national unity
and helps in a small measure, at
least, in our struggle to achieve
unity among factions in our own
country and a sense of brotherhood
with all peoples of the earth.
We have not reached that condition of multitudinous holidays that
prevails in many Buropean countries, notably in England, France
and the Latin countries. We are 1s
yet historically too young to ‘have
accumulated such a wealth, or shall
wwe say a plague, of holidays as have
the older nations. So, relatively
speaking, we can still affor@ to de«lare several more holidays.
There is one consideration, however, that should give us pause. The
more commemorative days we set
aside on the calendar, the, less we
shall come to value them. That is a
trait of human nature, We can hardits consequences. A man
with three automobiles thinks less
of each of them, than another man
does his automobile. The _lesser holidays will be accorded :adiminishing celebration. We can recall
the days of 1880s and 1890s when
Decoration Day ranked well with Independence Day in the magnitude of
its popular observance. Those were
days when the Grand of the Repubjic and Women’s Relief Corps were
great and mighty organizations.
Those marching hosts of Americans
who lived and fought,through the
‘Civil War have vanished over the
western horizon. Their children and
grandchildren do not have the same
fervid profound sense of thankfulmess that the Union was preserved,
that slavery was abolished. Memory
diminishes and history takes over.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are
religious holidays. Labor Day might
ibe called ‘an economic ‘holiday. Admission Day is of course a state holiday and only observed as such. Birthdays of Washington and Lincoln are

observed in appropriate programs by
the schools and more briefly by the
people, though we think all patrotic
Americans should utter a reverent
thanks to their Creator that He sent
us two such leaders. As history slowly comes to its conclusions we may,
in time, celebrate other birthdays of
our national leaders. In any event
we feel certain that we shall gain
holidays as time elapses. The next
one just coming over the horizon is
a day to commemorate those -who
gave their lives in World II.
COUNTY FAIRS Te
RESUME IN 1946
SACRAMENTO, Nov.
majority. of California’s 65 district
and county fairs are expected to resume their annual exhibits in 1946
Gov. Earl Warren announced.
Many of the grounds were occupied by the army during the war.
Somemay not be vacated in 1946.
‘But all 65 fairs probably will be able
to operate in 1947 director of fin-.
ance James S. Dean told the governor.
‘Policies governing allocations of
state money to the fairs were, discussed at a meeting of the assembly interim committee on fairs and expositions at Sacramento last week which
‘was attended by Dean and officials
of the division of fairs and exipositions.
‘The fund has grown rapidly during the past year as a result of the
heavy attendance at racing meets
which the state taxes for
Withdrawals have been
during the war.
‘Consequently Dean said allocafion
for 1946 premium lists will be higher than ever before and allocations
for 1947 and 1848 are expected to
be at the maximum rate of $65,000
for each fair, This is the maximum .
allowed by state law. The minimum
is $6000 and ordinarily the alloca:
tion is increased ten per cent per
year.
The committee agreed that the
fairs will be required to match state

KELLY ASKS WHY
NOT A STRIKE
AGAINST TAXES
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15°— The
workers and employers of America,
instead of fighting each other, should
both go ‘‘on strike against paying
j}exhorbitant tribute to extrevagant
government” in excessive taxes that
drain pay envelopes and ‘business
tills alike, Earl L. Kelly, -prospective
Republican candidate for governor ©
lot California declared here,
. Speaking before-the-Los~ Angeles
Breakfast Club, Kelly cited tax facts
to support his contention that ‘‘we
could give every American worker’ &
20 to 30 per cent pay increase simply
by forcing government to reconvert
to normal peacetime standards—and
cutting out the shameful, almost
criminal waste of people’s earnings
by their public representatives.’
He revealed that non war spending in September of this year hit a
new all time monthly high of nearly
one and a quarter billion dollars.
“The real cause of the strike epidemic in America,’’ he said, “is that
labor's gains have been hijacked by
government buccaneers and bureaucrats—and management.profits have
been pirated too in exactly the same
manner by the same gang of political spenders.”’
Pointing out that pay and salary
raises gained by millions of Amerirecent —years —have

and that “there

“The workers of America should
‘be on strike for higher wages—but
they. should not be on strike against
their employers. They should be on
strike against paying exhorbitant
tribute to an extravagant government. And. management should be
striking with them.”’
Kelly warned that the recent five
billion dollar tax reduction voted by
congress hasn’t been accomipanied
by any corresponding reduction in
general government overhead—and@
will ‘be meaningless unless costs are
