/ i / - Pape Eight Americans Near Limit On Taxes Winston-Salem, N. C., Feb. 2.— ‘The American people, and their i industry and business have just | a“6ob^ reached the limit' as far as taxes are concerned," H e r m a n i Cong, president^ of Cone Mills Cor poration, Greensboro, said here to- night. ‘Excessive government expendi-| tures, unreasonable high taxes, and | inflation'’ were described as three! related threats to a healthy eco-. nomic system by .Cone as he ad-. dressed the winter meeting of the 1 Piedmont Section of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. ‘Excessively high taxes remove j the incentive necessary to keep our economy dynamic and growing." he said. ‘‘Capital is. becoming alarmecf and a great many people, who in the past hove been willing to in-1 vest their money towards building j up American industry, are being driven to tax free securities for the investment of their savings. An increasingly powerful and complex government is tinkering with the structure that has made America the envy of the people of the world,” Cone declared. "Gqv- i eminent today has a hand in every- j body’s business and another in ev- ; ery person's pocket. Through a tax- j and-spend policy, developed long j before the Korean war came ^lohg. j THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, February 7> 1952 Farmers Are Warned About Use oi Poisons Respirators Advised For Dusting Operations This summer American farmers and gardeners will use about 1,000,- 000.000 pounds of bug-killing mater ials, much of it containing para- thion,- especially those highly ef fective on the destructive leaf aphid. ... Insecticides containing parathion are used a great deal by commer cial fruit producers. Now produced by several chemi cal companies, parathion in its original state is a brownish liquid. But as a commercial insecticide it belore the Korean war came ^iQhg, r government has succeeded ir\ weak- j ening our traditional concepts of J initiative and independence. There is a great danger that the j attitude of the American people; will drift from that philosophy ex-1 pressed in the Declaration of Inde- j pendence and the Constitution. It may well swing to the belief that | the general welfare requires a strong ! central government with practical-; ly unlimited powers. If it is per-j mitted to do so, we can write off , America as a nation of freedom and! opportunity to all,” he said. •'Capitalism is simply the techni cal name for the economic system we have in America. Actually it | provides the real welfare state. It is: a setup of political and economic! organization which has been able! to achieve progressively high stan-i dards of living for more and more 1 people. It is the system that does provide best for; the general wel-' fare," he said in concluding. Respirators should always be worn when handling parathion- base Insecticides. Protective rubber gloves also should be used since the toxie chemical can be absorbed through the skin.
