Should corporation taxes be moderately reduced, by returning to the rates of some years ago? This is a very close one, with 32 per cent favoring reduction, 35 per cent fa voring continuance of and 29 per cent en dorsing reductions on the first $25,000 of profit. ‘ 6.

Taylorville, 111., Daily Breeze-Courier: “It costs each of Us more when the federal gov ernment helps us to pay for our local, state and community improvements. . .

' , g ♦> K « * * j.r ♦ ♦ People Want To Be People Joseph Alsop warns that Soviet military- ' industrial power is grow-ing,-and that wv must* not lag behind in the racer At th<f same time-, he finds grounds for long-range hope. Here, in his words, is why: “The Soviet failure, which has only Teen realh proven in the last year, is the failure to .produce the famous ‘new Soviet man’ so long envisaged by the Kremlin’s masters. The moral laws have not been-repealed in the. Soviet Union, even although they were tem- [Kjranly suspended by sheer terror. Men, and women have not lost their desire to be free. . . . People still want to be people* instead of a higher form of ant.” ' In this way lay the seeds which will bring ultimate destruction to the communist ty ranny. Meanwhile, we must watch and wait ind carry a big stick. The TVA Boys Are Wary It is frequently argued, and the argument is* supported with complex statistics, that TVA pays its own way, returns money to the government, and so is a national asset. That argument does not impress S. C.

They were standing in front of the building reading the inscription over the en trance. "The vigilande of the people is the salva tion of the state." ’Will Rogers read jt, thought a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Why don’t they put those things up here in language the people can understand?" ‘ \ One 6'f his hosts asked. "What would you sug gest?" "Oh- -something like this,” replied Will. "You gotta watch them guys or they’ll run away whth the, state fcapitol.” Actually, Will Rogers meant this as no reflec tion upon the State administration of Nebraska or upon the members of the Nebraska legislature as individual persons. He could- have, and- would have, madb the same observations about any state ‘in the nation or about the national government itself. ’ * . * Will Rogers knew human nature, he knew poli tics and politicians, well enough to know that it is simply not in the nature of government to dis cipline itself—to "watch” itself. This is true of government of any sort., It is generally recognized as true of a dictator govern ment, of course, but it is not so generally recog nized’as true of government in a free nation. But it is—and the only way in in which government can be limited is by the “vigilance,” by the de mand of the people. We have seen this illustrated by the govern ment in our own free nation for a number of years -—and- .a has-made no. diffecence.wjiich. political party was in power because, as we have said, that is simply the nature of government. We have seen bureaucracy feeding upon itself at an alarming rate—and unless people quit providing the mon- to support this bureaucracy', it* w ill continue to do so. , '' One of the best illustrations we have of the fact th&t even bur own government will not discipline ijseli, limit’itself, control itself is evidenced by the feet that all emergency measures instituted for the last two or three decades have been continued in on form or another on a permanent basis. There is nothing so temporary as the permanent wave in a woman’s hair; and there is nothing so permanent as a temporary measure inaugurated by a bureau cratic government!, 1 Price supportjfor farm products w'as instituted as a temporary’ emergency- war measure during the Second World War. By the time the emergency was over, this paternalsim was liked by so many people for one reason or another that this "federal - aid" was continued: now it is just as permanent as knything we have in our economy. The farmers, once the most independent and self-reliant of all our population, are now “kept" people^ they are” told what to raise, how much to rfise, how much they can get for it, and wbat to do with thejr land. Their lives were no longer their own. They had just as well live under a dictatorship. The farm situation, of course, only applies, to a portion of our people, but it affects all the people —and if extended to enough segments of our pop ulation. we would very quickly become a com pletely socialist government. And it has been extended to many other phas es of our economy to a greater or lesser degree; and many other illustrations could be cited, for which we do not have space here, of temporary emergency measures that have come to be con sidered as permanent Nor is that all—new ones are being proposed. One of the most prominent right now is federal aid for school building construction. It is being argued that adequate schools are of the utmost importance. This is true, but that is not the ques tion at all Anyone who knows anything knows that the “temporary" aspect of .this proposal is a sham and a delusion. 'Anyone should know that the federal government must get the money with which to build thes« schools from the states be fore it can give it back to the‘states. Anyone should know that the real question is whether we shall have centralized, federally-controlled public education or whether we shall continue to leave our public education under the control of local communities who best know what they want and need.
