THE NEWBERRY SUN
COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
BY SPECTATOR
(ContfflWed From Page Five)
That is ' natural, but who is
keeping an eye on the taxpay
er? I mention him just casu
ally, though I know that the
taxpayer is the forgotten man.
And why should he be remem
bered? What did the taxpayer
ever do that earned for him
our consideration? Perhaps you
can answer that. Today all
government are used, "used,"
mind you, to tax all those who
have, or can make, a dollar,
so that the government—State,
as well as National—may ben
evolently hand it out. There
is a secret: more people have
not than have, so the politi
cians are seeking to win those
who have not—a majority—by
taking from those who have—
or industriously earn—and be
stowing it on those who have
not; or, like the lily, toil not,
neither do they spin. Yet they
also flourish—as does the lilly.
Let us concede that some
teachers are underpaid: does
that mean that all teachers are
underpaid? We are spending
money very freely; in fact, I
have an idea that we should
study our public service for the
good of the service, not as par
tisans. The teachers are about
as well organized as a Labor
Union and they make demands
for all teachers.
I repeat, if we would study
what becomes of our tax mon
ey and stop any practices that
may not be wholly necessary,
we might find that we have
sufficient money to correct
those cases needing correction.
Couldn’t we do something some
time other than merely to
spend more money?
Figures are uninteresting. I’rr
thinking of mathematical fig
ures, not the figurines in the
store windows. But sometimes
figures command attention. Dc
you like to delve into figures?
Well, we live in such an era
of splendiferous spending, and
glamorous spenders, that a

hundred million dollars due tc

Milkers
Nothing is left to chance or to guesswork on the part of the
operator in any of the three new De Laval Milkers: the
Magnetic Speedway, the Sterling Speedway and the Sterling
Sp&edette. From pump to pail there is positive automatic
dmtfbl at every vital point — pulsation speed and action, teat
cup performance, correct vacuum, line drainage, stall cock and
sanitary trap action. Everything is designed to function at
maximum efficiency at all times without adjustment. Because
of this exclusive combination of ’'Controlled Milking” fea
tures, De Laval Milkers provide more milk, better milk, lead
to. better herd health and to greater profit.

Fund and unpaid should not
give us grave concern. How
ever, I found something mildly
interesting, just in passing. In
the days of the simple life,
when we drank water drawn
from the well with a “sweep,”
the National Government col
lected $60,000,000 in taxes. That
was in 1860. We had no Harry
Truman or John L. Lewis then.
But along came the Civil War
and the Federal Government
spent four times as much as it
“took in.” Our Confederates
caused all that, you know, but
th^it was a sort of cheap affair
—just a mere 700,000,000 a year
more or less. But when the
war ended the Government en
tered upon a period of econo
my—probably before all the
Union soldiers began to collect
pensions. At this time most of
them were postmasters, most
likely. At any rate, the Fed
eral Government, now with the
taxes from the South also, con
tinued to operate with a favor
able balance until about 1891.
I’m sorry to admit that all
those Administrations were Re
publican. Still, let the chips
fall where they may.
Under Grover Cleveland,
grand old Democrat, a real
Democrat, not a Socialist or
cheap politician, and William
McKinley, Republican, small
deficits appeared. Following
our Spanish War the favorable
balance was shown again. In
other words, when the urgent
need for spending was ended
the free-handed outpouring end
ed. Free-handed? Well, the
4en of that day thought of it
3S free-handed—just a bit un-
ler half a billion!! Even in
the “Teddy” Roosevelt panic of
1907 the Government continued
to operate with a favorable
balance. Under genial Presi
dent Taft we went mildly in
the red—a few millions! But
Mr. Taft came to himself and
his last two years were in the
black.
Our great Woodrow Wilson
maintained a favorable condi
tion for four years, but expen
ditures began to rise on account
of military preparedness, in
1917. They swelled in 1918 and
1919. In 1919 the Government
spent 18% billions! But in 1920
this dropped to 6% billions!
When the war stopped, the
Government cut off spending,
under President Wilson. Then
under Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover the Nation saved money
until the Depression struck.
Then came the glamorous
Roosevelt with the engaging
smile. But even he never
spent more than fourteen bil
lions a year before the war.
Now we have Mr. Truman. In
1948 he spent nearly 34 billions;
in 1949 he spent 40 billions;
and for 1950 he wants 43%
billions, or a bit, more. In -- a
day of relative National pros
perity we are operating in the
red! As a sign on a billboard
in Anniston, Alabama, says:
“Every time the sun sets this
Government is 15 millions
deeper in debt!”

Extended Weather Reports
Our Weather Bureau now
makes extended weather re
ports. They cover 4 days ahead.
And they are about 80 percent
accurate. That’s better than
any of us can guess. They are
not guesses. They are based
on knowledge and scientific
studies of causes and effects.
The farmer is right out there
at the mercy of the weather. To
know with reasonable certain
ty how it will be 4 days ahead
can be used to advantage in
planning many farm operations.
