WANTED: NEW TAX IDEAS ..A new tax is just another tux, and 1 have never known one tax to take the place of another tax. It's HkOj Willie being born: he doesn't takej g.\ Susie's place, he simply becomes a member of the family. He starts off: as little brother and winds up as big! brother. It's funny that public expenses can't be cut like private expenses have to be cut. Our politicians never think that it might be possible to get along on less money; all they think about is: where can we get some more money? Very few politiciuns, except senators and congressb "ten, pay much taxes. ..The majority of our political jobs are as useless and as unnecessary as an appendix, and they .are Just about ^ as hard to operate on as an appendix. The public has lost confidence in the efficiency and honesty of'the average office-holder, yet most of them are honest and are doing all they can for both themselves and. the taxpayers, which ain't very much. . . Ever go around and look at some of the state colleges in your state? Try it some time. The Pirst^ thing that will impress you like a brick bat i.>: Why s) many costly buildings and! so many apparently unnecessary activities? It costs nearly as much to, send a boy or girl to the best denominational college as it does to a state college. I'uXzle: What do they do with the appropriations? Build! ..litre wo are though, all set J |(b.,?d toads, and worn out cars; tine churches with a tall steeples and n lug mortgage; wonderful -ehool buildings and half of our farms boing sold for taxc*; line white-ways and beautiful paiks in ?.ur cities while our bonds arc going a-begging at -10 to .">0, and our credit a thing of the past: farm products not fetching enough f<i to pay the freight charges for a00 mill's while hundreds of our children are both naked and hungry. ..And all of our fine men in public \ office, i . .the ones we tore our shirts and gabled our throats for a few weeks ago. . . . to get them elected so's they could cut expenses.... yep, look at 'em: most of them hunting some new kind of tax to install in order that they might finish busting the country and save the jobs for the guys that now have 'em. Their idea is to cut up instead of cut down. How much longer-can we stand this kind of monkey-business? As for me and my house, folks, 1 am telling BradI street that we are Dun. A VOTE FOR TEC HNOCRACY deer mr. editor: > i am just in reseat of a letter from (lubuse brown, of huntsvillc. alabnma,' asking me to rite up my views on technocracy, the new age which has; recently come out and which is now R going the rounds in newspapers and' maggazines and polliticks.
