Most folks have never heard of need
potatotes. They are more than a delicacy, they
are an absolute tradition in my family. They
are prepared by simply boiling some potatoes
and pushing them through a colander. The
potatoes come out looking like rice and that is
how they got their name. Put some butter on
them and they are great.
I cannot follow this family tradition because
my older brother has the colander. He conned
my mother into loaning it to him and I have
had no luck at all in getting it returned. We
have had a delightful feud running for years
over who gets the colander. Other folks may
argue over the money-we argue over the col-
ander.
I thought I had a chance until my brother
decided to go to law school. I am embarrassed
to admit that the family will have such a black
spot on its record, but there he is, trying to
qualify as a lawyer.

The last time I saw my would be lawyer
brother I was fully prepared to press my case
for the colander. He was ready for me. He ask-
ed if I had ever heard of Primogeniture. I
thought that sounded like a disease cows have.
He got out the law book and explained that
primogeniture means the eldest son inherits
the goodies to the exclusion of the younger
sons. He then announced that the colander was
his on the basis of primogeniture.
I told him he sounded like Howard Cosell
spouting big words. He just grinned and
pointed to the law book.
I got out my own book. I read him the story
of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel were arguing
over a colander. Abel said something about
primogeniture. Cain found a cure for such
foolishness.
It didn’t work. The colander is still there and

WASHINGTON - George*
Clemenceau, the prime
minister of France, looked
out over the carnage that was
World War I and observed
that “War is much too serious
a matter to be entrusted to
generals."
French military leadership
lost hundreds of thousands of
lives fighting a modem war
against barbed wire and
machine guns while using the
tactics of the 1870s-massive
frontal assaults.
The history of stagflation in
the 1970s has added a cor-
ollary to Clemenceau’s obser-
vation. Just as war is too im-
portant to be left to the
generals, tax policy is too im-
portant to be left to the politi-
cians.
The interests of those
young men who fight and die
in the trenches are not always
those of the generals who
plan strategy in the war
room. And life in the
economic trenches for work-
ing men and women who
must pay taxes provide* a
different viewpoint from that
seen by politician* who enact
higher and higher taxes each
year. Charge that hill! Pay
that tax! You can do it. (I’D
supervise.)
It is easy to raise taxes:
Raise your hand and say
“Ayo.” It is not easy for
families with mortgages, car
payments and grocery bill* to
pay those taxes. As taxse
income taxes, sales taxes,
property taxes-have risen,
the gulf between taxpayers
and politicians has widened.
As a result, American tax-
payer* have moved to put
some meaning back into the
phrase, “consent of the
governed." In 1978, Califor-
nia’s citizens gathered hun-
dreds of signatures to place

■peculate* on some Russian
goals this week, la Us own
way.
The week of Sept. 17-24 has been proclaimed
as Constitution Week by President Reagan.
The local chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution has also requested and
received a Mayor’s proclamation on obser-
"mee foltowing'editorial from “The National
Republic" was submitted by the DAR, aad it
explains the importance of the constitution to
ali citizens of the United States.
THE CITIZEN’S REPONSIBILITY
This Republic is as much endangered today
by the indifference of millions of people, in-
heritors of the traditions and opportunities of
this greatest of all nations, to their own duties
and responsibilities, as it is by the activities of
the open and secret enemies of American in-
stitutions.
Half of our citizens do not even take the trou-
ble to vote. Most of the remainder consider
their duty to their country discharged when
they have cast their ballot and go about their
business during the intervals between political
campaigns, giving little or no thought to the
national welfare.
Elements antagonistic to American institu-
tions are not so indifferent or so idle. They are
ceaselessly at work, in the open and under
cover. They are never off the job of undermin-
ing the faith of the people in their country, in
spreading unrest, in arousing discontent, envy
and hatred - those passions out of which
violent revolutions are fashioned.
George Washington expressed the hope that
the United States of America would not follow
“the usual course of nations.” The usual
course of nations has been that of the tide in its
daily movements - to rise and then fall. This
nation cannot escape the usual fate of govern-
ments except through the vigilance of its
citizens.
It is human nature to take an inheritance for
granted; to accept it as a matter of course, to
deem it unnecessary to defend that which
others have fought for, that it might be ours.
And so, with many voices raised in criticism of
Anerican institutions, American traditions
and American ideals, few think it worth while
to call attention to the incalculable value of
these institutions, traditions and ideals. How
is a new generation to learn that there is
anything worth while in them?
~ To fight for one’s country when its life is
■ threatened by violence is noble aad heroic; to
Stand up for it in peace time is a virtue quite as
necessary. And unless there be such virtue in
citizenship, our traditions will be forgotten,
our ideals neglected and our institutions will
crumble.
What is more important to every citizen of
this Republic than the perpetuity of the institu-
tions which protect his life, his liberty and his
property; what is of more priceless value than
the national ideals and traditions which have
given this nation its proud place in history?
Yet how little thought the average man or
woman gives to this most vital of all questions
affecting the most precious things in life!
Institutions, governments, do not preserve
themselves. They can be preserved only by the
vigilance of those to whose guardianship they
have been committed. Upon you, as a citizen
of the Republic, rests a responsibility which
cannot be shirked without danger to your
country. Its future to worth something of your
thought, so much of which to given to matters
of less moment.
