CECIL MERCHANT By TOM ANDERSON (In July issue Farm & Ranch Magazine) The budget will be cut a few billion. Nibbling is better than nothing, but nibbling won’t do. Some cuts merely postpone spend ing. The politicians are now com peting for center stage position with juggling acts which will cut items that will be restored later. Let’s not be fooled by disappear ing rabbits which multiply while they’re out of sight. Cutting spending—and eventually taxes a few billion is just spitting in the ocean. What’s urgently needed is to cut out entirely many of the fixed programs. Abraham Lincoln said: “The le gitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves—in their separate and individual capaci ties. In all that the people can individually do as well for them selves, government ought not to interfere.” Isn’t that principle as sound now as it was when Lincoln said it? State Aid to Federal—Not Federal to State There are some 50 different fed eral grant-in-aid programs. They cut across and duplicate every function of state and local gov ernment. In 1914 state and local govern ments spent 70 percent of all money spent by government. Now 70 percent is spent by Washington bureaucrats. The grabbing for this easy-come “free” cash has replaced baseball as the national pastime. A big part of our tax money never comes back to us in serv ices—but is lived up by the swarms of bureaucrats whose hands it goes through. We can* cease becoming tax- slaves by taking the money away from the government. The bu reaucrats will keep hands in our pockets as long as we’ll let them. How long, Americans, O how long, are we going to let political leeches suck our blood?

JAMES BANNISTER FOR ALDERMAN I hereby announce myself a candidate for re-election as Aider- man, Ward 6 and pledge myself to abide the results of the Demo cratic Primary. DWIGHT W. JONES dence is overwhelming that all the states, rich and poor, have lost by the federal aid system. In a little town, or a city for that matter, the people know pret ty well what money should be spent for and what it shouldn’t. They’ll refuse to put up their own money for unnecessary projects. And when they do spend they’ll get their money’s worth—or know the reason why. It’s ridiculous the way states, rich and poor, holler “help” to Washington every time they have a flood, a drouth, a tornado or anything emotional enough to get the rest of the country to pay for it—after the Washington bureau crats get their take. Paul Revere rode to the rescue of the nation. The average con gressman rides to the rescue of his district’s pet pork barrel. State aid to the federal govern ment is the answer. The federal government haS enough other sources of income to provide nec essary services—if it quits the foreign aid giveaways and gets out of the 19,000 businesses it has no business in, which the Gwinn Amendment would force it to do. We’ve got to tear down this monstrous cancerous federal bu- reaucacy. How? Ways have al ready been proposed which can snatch the reins of government from the hands of the power-mad dened bureaucrats and return to the grass roots, to the state and local governments, their just pow ers, taxing ability, rights, and responsibilities. Here are some cures: * How-To-Do-Its 1. Repeal or drastically curtail the federal income tax. The Hoff man Amendment calls for out right repeal of the federal income tax, effective five years after rati fication by the states. The proposal now having the most backing is the Dirksen-Gwinn Amendment which would put a 25 percent ceiling on individual income taxes except - in times of national emergency and limit to 15 percentage points the differ ence which can ever separate the bottom and top rates. The Dirksen-Gwinn Amend ment is based on the fact that the only legitimate function of taxa tion is to raise revenue, not to change or destroy a system of society. Thirty-two < state legis latures have passed a similar bill which woqld amend, the U. S. Con stitution to put a ceiling on the federal income tax. Two-thirds of the states having spoken, Congress is obligated to call a constitution al convention which will have the power to submit a specific amend ment to the states for ratifica tion. If the spenders can’t tax it, they can’t spend it. 2. Limit the debt and the bud get. If they can’t tax it or bor row it, they can’t spend it. The Brides - Byrd - Curtis Amendment would require the federal budget to be balanced each year by limit ing Congressional spending in any fiscal year to the estimated receipts of the government that year, except in times of grave na tional emergency. 3. Drastically reduce U. S. aid to friendly foreign countries, and set up a soon-to-come D-Day for Operation Cessation. Eliminate aid now to enemies like Tito, Rus sia’s Trojan Horse. A friend bought is not- worth the «price paid. Kill Foreign Aid and Save America Foreign aid is an ill-conceived misbegotten mother - devouring monster. There’s no such thing as buying perfect safety—and there’s no such thing as ever satisfying the military, or the State Depart ment. Boss Tweed said, “The - way to have power is to take it.” The politicians have taken it—and us. This government of sudsidy, by bribery, and for votes must be re turned to the people. Like Marcus Aurelius, the peois pie are beginning to ask, “What meat doth this our Caesar eat, that he has grown so strong?” The people waketh up that ’tis their meat. Some people think it’s a hopeless fight. Maybe so. But if Washington at Valley Forge ha<f “taken that attitude, there might never have been a free America. The President can’t stop it—and Congress won’t stop it. Not until the people demand a return to the Constitution by demanding restric tive and limiting legislation which will chain the politicians to the Constitution. COURT SESSION . . .
