What does Mr. Truman say abiut
running again? 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. That was going ( when * the figures on national
| far, but it was quite understand- wealth are corrected for price dis
tortions. 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. Calvin Coolidge mys
tified us a bit by saying that he
didn't “CHOOSE TO RUN.”
If I say tha* Mr. Truman may be
the eTiminatiop of waste and ex
travagance of all levels of govern
ment—Federal, gtate, and local.'’

wrrTTFgarded as floor leader and

Roosevelt, Mr. Roosevelt sent Har

* * *'
Some years ago we heard of a
mighty effort to balance our State
budget. 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.

ness as may come before the meet

Why the right power
is so important
to truck buyers
W hen a truck engine is too small for the job,
you’ll pay in poor performance and high up
keep. When it’s too big, you’ll waste money on
operating costs.
To be sure of the rig/U power for top performance
and top economy on every job, Dodge builds eight
great truck engines. There’s one that’s “Job-Rated”
to fit your kind of work.
In fact, you get a truck that’s “Job-Rated’* in
every way. Every load-mown# unit is factory-en
gineered to meet the most severe operating condi
tions. And every load-corrytn# unit is factory-en
gineered to provide the strength and capacity needed.
Visit your friendly Dodge dealer today for all the
facts about Dodge “Job-Rated” trucks.
T«*»* prove power with economy. To save gas, powerful
Dodge truck engines employ compression ratios as high
as 7.0 to 1. And on high-tonnage models, a twin carbure-
tkm and exhaust system is used.
Wecordt show low upkeep. For dependability and low
repair costa, rugged Dodge truck engines have 4-ring
pistons with chrome-plated top ring and heat-resisting
exhaust valvs aeat inserts.

“When power is needed,
Dodge trucks have it!”
“We’ve been big Dodge users for many years,
because our business demands trucks that are
dependable, economical and rugged.
We do most of our driving over rough ground,
a lot of it in the mud. The trucks work with crews
who are laying pipe in the field. This kind of
hauling calls for plenty of power to carry equip
ment to the men.
“And when power
trucks have it! They
poll anything.
