LOOKING AHEAD
MARRED MONUMENTS
The most pathetic piece of stat
uary I ever saw was a 92-foot
image of Rameses II, flat in a
jungle, shy an arm and a leg and
all but lost. It weighs countless
tons. Uprighting it baffled Egyp
tain engineers for centuries. I
am no art critic, but I was im
pressed, most of all by the skill
and devoted craftsmanship still
showing on the weathered stone.
Its helplessness was depressing.
Monuments resemble reputa- j
tions. They can be damaged be-1
yond repair by commonplace
things, soon forgotten. Storms f
too trivial to have a name can,
in a few short hours, undermine
huge foundations and leave stal
wart landmarks buried in dirt.
There are only two factors in
volved, whether you view it lit
erally or figuratively: How sturdy
*>
is the structure? How fierce is
the storm?
NOBLE INTENTIONS
Looking with a sort of pity at
the supine figure, a relic of
Moses’ day, my thoughts raced
back to a well-learned chapter of
American history. As a youth I
almost wept over Andrew John
son, a truly great man. Before
he was many years dead, the
things he advocated were proved,
in the light of actual events, to
be sound and right. But Tennes
see school children were forget
: ting his name.
i By birth a Southerner and by
j allegiance a Democrat, Johnson
was an independent thinker who
wanted the United States to stay
all in one piece. He wanted to
carry out most of the policies that
A Lincoln had established, but
he couldn’t. Maybe Lincoln
could have succeeded with the
1865 post-war problem: maybe no
body could. History shows only
this: A great man’s reputation
down; all but lost.
PEOPLE THE SAME
In my high school years I had
' imagined that President John
son’s fate was primitive, too crude
for my enlightened time — but
not so. In a few years it became
our unhappy lot to watch Wood
row Wilson, one of the grandest

characters America ever produc
ed, racked on the same bed of
torture: post-war prejudices, a
hostile congress, a divided party,
and some personal traits w de
open to ridicule.
President Johnson nad amazing
foresight and u will that would
not be walked on. We know that
now. But his place in history was
carved for an obstinate, unsym
pathetic crank. President Wilson
had v'sion unclouded by preju
dice, vision that over-reached his
century. But Wilson's contempor
aries called him a dreaming adcfle
pate and painted out a name that
should have brightenec the pages
of history.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN
President Wilson’s 192<> post
war plans for revamping Europe,
•called so v sionary) if they might
have been backed by ether men
of his day and political station,
could have made World War II
unnecessary. Billions of dollars
and millions of lives might nave
been spared. But avaricious rul
ers couldn’t see the vision any
better in Wilson's day than in
Johnson’s day, or today.
Indeed the darkest cloud in this
summer’s political sky c 'ne storm
gathering once more er post
war problems. We lace another
struggle with the probability of
a conservative congres> Through
lenses fashioned from the past,
we can watch history repeat it
self with alarm ng monotony. Will
the story of 1920 be spread on the
record again? What names will
be virtually blotted from his
tory?

Automobiles Must
Be Tagged By
August First
Internal Revenue deputies on
August 1 will begin tagging cars
and boats not displaying federal
use tax stamps for the current
fiscal year.
Owners and operators who fail
to comply with the law are sub
ject to severe penalty, according
to Clark Squire, collector of in
ternal revenue.
Those who do not respond im
mediately to notices left by dep
uties will be considered violators.
They will be given an opportunity
to submit a $5 offer in compro
mise of the penalty.
Names of violators who fail to
comply are to be referred to the
United States attorney for court
action. Upon conviction, they
may be fined not exceding $25
for each offense.
This drive will be conducted
throughout Washington and Alas
ka. Squire pointed out that
stamps have been on sale at all
post offices and certain Internal
Revenue offices since June 10.
giving motor vehicles and boat
owners nearly two months to com
ply with the law, which was one
of the early war measures enact
ed by congress.
The $5 compromise offer is in
addition to the cost of the stamp.
Car stamps are $5.00 for the fis
cal year and boat stamps graduate
in amount, according to the length
of the boat.
Tags to be issued by deputies
I will require owners to report to
Internal Revenue offices. It is,
. therefore, important that vehicles
and boats prominently display the
stamps, to avoid inconvenience,
j The law requires that stamps
be posted so that they are read
ily visible for inspection. The
lower right-hand corner of the
windshield has been designated
by the Washington State Patrol
. as the proper place to affix stamps
on cars in that state. See the post
master for stamps.
