Does he say that , he will not seek re-election? Or does he say ^that he will not ac- ! cept a renomination? General Sher- •! man is quoted as saying that he | not only would not accept a nom tached. Manyfstates are opposed tc this system and would much pre fer to finance their owm activities according to their requirements but (feel compelled to dip into the ‘grab bag’ in order to get back part of the money contributed by their i own citizens. The system not only I is demoralizing but also it is mak- i ing the state and local governments vassals of the Federal Government, thereby threatening the existence of self-government. Profligate Federal spending has not met with much public opposi tion as the majority of people be lieve that American resources and financial capacity are unlimited and that our wealth has been ex panding at a rapid rate. But this inatibn but that he would not: j s a tragic illusion as can be shown serve, if elected.

Our wealth in terms of 1929 dollars gained only 12 percent from 1928 to 1948, according to a study made by the National Su able English.

Everyone believed that the plan was to REDUCE appro pria- tions, but not so; the plan WAS ’’O PUT ON MORE TAXES. Of course that is one way to balance a budg et: spend without limit, then pile up the taxes. When I was just a little boy, along with my handsome and dis tinguished friend, Edwin Belser, the Democrats advocated reduction in the import, or tariff duties. Wil liam Jennings Bryan thundered majestically against the Republi cans and the high tariff. The Re publicans declared in favor of re vising the tariff. That seemed to convince everybody that Mr. Bryan was attacking a strawman. Bryan insisted that when the Republicans proimsed to revise the tariff they did not promise to reduce it. Many people became impatient with Ne braska’s eloquent son, but when ihe j Republicans won the election they proceeded to REVISE the tariff, as promised: they REVISED it, but UPWARD. So Bryan was right: THEY REVISED IT; YES. BUT |MADE IT HIGHER. So, don’t be lieve what you hear and distrust : even what you see; that is the | surest method of dealing with j some of our political master- I minds, especially if of Pendergas- tian flavor. ♦ * * | Shall we soak the rich? Says The i First National Bank of Boston: ( “Many persons are under the im pression that the financial troubles 1 i of the nation could be saved by ‘soaking the rich’. But such an as sumption is based upon sheer ig norance. If all personal taxable in comes in the upper income brackets were confiscated by the Govern- emnt, the amount would be suffi cient to finance current Federal operation for only a few days. It is obvious, therefore, that the bulk of any substantial increases in tax ation must be borne by those in the lower income groups, but this would mean impinging further up on their living standards. Not only is the Federal Govern ment spending a large proportion of each person’s income, but also it is absorbing about 81 percent of all taxes collected, leaving only 19 percent for state and local govern ments, as compared with 61 per cent for these units in 1939. The Federal Government has invaded so many tax fields and is taking such a large proportion of the funds available that state and local governments are hard pressed to fi nance their regular activities. To relieve the situation, he Federal Government provides grants-in- highways, public welfare, schools, aid, which cover such items as health, anoF the like. The Federal administrators dictate how the money is to be spent and specify the standards to be met. Here, then, we have a system whereby the money collected from the peo ple of the states has strings at- 000.00) Dollars to be divided into fifteen thousand (15,000) shares of a par value of Ten ($10.00) Dollars.
