Have you ever lived higher on
the hog than you’re living
some friends and critics ask.
‘What’re you so upset about- Re
lax and enjoy it!” Such people
who profess to believe the nation
.is in the best shape ever remind
me of the story of 01’ Joe. 01’
Joe’s doctor told him he’d have to
move to Arizona for his health.
He did. And three weeks later they
shipped his body back. Two of 01’
Joe’s friends were standing in
front of his open casket- One said,
“Don’t 01’ Joe look fine?” “Yeah,
the other replied, “them three
weeks in Arizona sure done him a
lot of good.”
The road we’re traveling is the
road to socialism, insolvency, and
surrender. How can we avoid it?
We’ve got to get to the cause.
The cause of excessive spending,
borrowing, and taxing is the huge,
complex federal bureaucracy which
has musroomed beyond the con
trol and comprehension of the peo
ple.
Did you know that none of the
$38 billion collected by the fed
eral personal income tax pro
gram is used to finance any ac
tivity whiih is authorized by the
Constitution? That it doesn’t pay
a soldier, buy an airplane, or pay
a single governmental salary auth
orized by the Constitution? That
it’s used to finance 700 tax-free,
rent - free, unauthorized - by - the -
Constitution government corpora
tions (such as TVA). which lose
$9 billion a year? That the Fed
eral Government could operate
without the federal personal in
come tax?
Did you know that our govern
ment spends 1,300 times more now
than it did in 1940 ? Have you
figured out what the government
is doing for you now that it did
not do in 1940 that’s worth this
awful price? And how much more
“good” you can stand at that
rate?
Did you know that the recent
great increases in federal spend
ing have been for non-essentials,
not for defense? That since 1954
expenditures outside of defense,
atomic energy and foreign aid
have grown from $19.1 billion $
year to $33.4 billion, a 75% in
crease ?
America’s Menace: Neutrals,
Within and Without
Did you know that the 271 Am
ericans engaged in our ICA give
away in Pakistan have been pro
vided with 229 cards, 529 refriger
ators, 660 stoves and 666 air-con
ditioners ? That these 271 bu-
beaucrats hired 1,021 natives as
gardepers, chauffers, guards,
clerks—and sent the bills to you?
That in the past 10 years we have
given $1,375,000,000 in aid to so
cialist-neutralist India and that
India takes our gifts and then
buys from Russia? That although
our federal debt is larger than
the combined public debt of all
other nations, we are sending for
eign aid to 73 of the world’s 86
nations? That our past and pres
ent foreign aid programs are tak
ing one out of every five of our
personal income tax dollars?
Did you know that 85% of the
tax load is carried not by the rich,
but by the people who make $6,-
000 a year or less? That the av
erage American worker who
makes around $4,000 a year pays
about $1,200 of that in federal,
state and local taxes, most of
which are hidden? Did you know
that there are 151 taxes on a loaf
of bread? That even if the farm
er donated his wheat, white bread
would sell for 17 cents a loaf?
If your answer to the abbve is
“so what?”, then there is no need
to finish reading this. If your
answer is “Yes, I know ifc—but
what can I do about it?”, here’s
what you can do. Demand that
your congressmen work actively to
accomplish the following:
Make it illegal, in peacetime,
for the Federal Government to
spend more than it takes in. Kill
federal aid ahd return to the states
or to the people all those powers,
rights, privileges and responsibili-
t: es not expressly delegated to
the Federal Government by the
Constitution. Give up all non-ur
gent government spending projects
and subsidies. Put all urgent pro
jects on a pay-as-we-go basis.
Restore the Constitutional checks
and balances between the three
branches of the Federal Govern
ment by curbing the Supreme
Court and the Executive.
Apply anti-trust laws equally
against all monopolies—business,
labor and coperatives — restoring
the right to compete in a free
market and on an equal basis.
Redouble defense efforts to
make America once again invin
cible. Serve notice now that should
America ever face surrender or
defeat, our leaders will be tried
for treason.
Insist that our foreign policy
be for freedom, for right and for
America.
Tighten immigration restric
tions by strict enforcement of the
McCarran - Walter Immigration
Act. Kill Civil Service, so a mil
lion unnecessary, incompetent and
THE N]

un-American federal employes can
be fired.
Get the Government Oat, Set
'< the Farmer Free ^
Repeal the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act of 1938, as amended, and
set the farmer free. Guard the in
tegrity of the dollar just as we
do our moral integrity. Support
Herman Talmadge’s proposed Con
stitutional Amendment vesting ex
clusive control of the public
schools in the states and local
governments. Prohibit mass pick
eting, violence, coercion, forced
union membership, secondary boy
cotts, industry-wide bargaining,
union monopolies, feather-bedding
and other make-work rackets.
Teach your children American
ism, old-fashioned patriotism. See
that your schools and public lib
raries have plenty of the books
and magazines which unmask the
Socialist * Communist conspiracy.
Never gain vote for lesser of evils.
Vote for the best man, regardless
of his chances. If no good man is
running, try to get one to. Failing
that, write-jn a name.
See that the libertarian publica
tions are placed in your doctor’s
waiting room, your library, your
barber and beauty shop and other
public places.
Read editorial pages, letters to
the editor. Learn the true nature
of Communism by reading several
book on it, like I Was a Slave in
Russia, Witness, The Communist
Manifesto, Communism and
Christ, Masters of Deceit. Join the
fight with one of the several good
libertarian organizations, such as
Americans for Constitutional Ac
tion, The John Birch Society, Citi
zens Foreign Aid Committee.
We must use our greatest wea
pon, spirituality. Horace Greeley
said: “It is impossible to mentally
or socially enslave a Bible-reading
people. The principles of the
Bible are the groundwork of hu
man freedom.”
It’s hopeless? Suppose Wash
ington at Valley Forge, had taken
that position? And Patrick Henry
and Thomas Jefferson?
Although usually associated
with jewelry, the precious metal
platinum is used as a catalyst by
refiners in producing today’s high
octane gasoline.
liAFF OF THE WEEK
v_
ft D RAND new, that’s why I
saved it for last.” The real
estate man threw open the door
and moved his cigar to the op
posite side of his mouth as though
to make more room for them to
enter.
Tom Fender glanced at his
wife’s face as she moved through
the door ahead of him. For the
first time this afternoon she
seemed pleased. The tired cape-
cod, the too expensive french
provincial and even the friendly
two story frame had failed to
move her as did this house. Tom
frowned and followed.
"Two bedrooms, living room—
say, I must shew you the kitch
en.” The agent hurried across the
tiled living room as he gestured
for them to follow.
**Basement?” asked Tom.
“Nope, utility room—no stairs
In the place. Be good for you
when you get old.”
Tom thought of the nice base
ment they had seen in the frame
house and as for getting old-
well, stairs didn’t scare him.
“Two steps and you can reach
anything in the room.” The man
demonstrated this fact, using the
cigar as a pointer to indicate the
labor saving arrangement.
Tom pulled his thoughts from
the comfortable old frame, the
house that had made him feel
comfortable for the first time
since they had sent him to take
over the branch office heze and
tried to concentrate on what the
agent was saying. He looked past
the tobacco pointer through the
email window over the sink. Just
across the drive was another
house. Identical to this one except
that It was painted a different
color. His ayes moved to his
wife’s face again. A look akin to
rapture was there as her hand
moved slowly over the smooth
fkiigh of the birch cabinet. “Oh,
it’s just beautiful!” she said.
With a sudden feeling of being
Tom moved from the
room. How small this place
seemed. Again his thoughts were
upon the last house. Mentally, he
pictured it with a new coat of
paint and odd repairs that he
knew himself capable of doing.
Besides it would give them some
thing to do while they were wait
ing for the baby to arrive. At
that moment his wife and the
agent were pushing past him to
look at the bathroom. Already
her coat exhibited a suspicious
fullness. The family they had al
ways talked of would scon make
a hoarse like this seem even
smaller.
“Housekeeping would certainly
be a pleasure here.”
At the sound of her words he
took a deep breath and exhaled
slowly, resignedly. Nancy was
sold.
The man left them at the
motel with a promise that they
would give him their final deci
sion as soon as they had a chance
to talk it over.
“I could tell him which one I
want right now,” said Nancy as
they entered the room.
“Yeh, I know.” Tom’s words
lacked enthusiasm.
“ ’Course we’ll have to paint
and scrub
“Paint? It’s brand new!”
“New? Oh, you mean that de
velopment thing, that’s not for
us. It has no personality and it’s
so rmall.”
“Hut I thought—. Well, you
certainly ooohed and aaaahed
enough over it.”
“Certainly, it’s beautiful. Every
woman dreams of a brand new
house .and maybe someday when
we can build—. Oh, Tom the
house with the bannister is the
one for us. I felt almost like I
was home again. I’ll bet that
bannister is just like the one we
had and how we loved to slide—.”
“You know what?” said Tom,
as soon as he regained his voice
“I’m going to let you have the
first slide on that bannister.”
’Never borrow money from Running Elk—
He never stops dunning you for it!”

1 REMEMBER"
BY TH10LB TIMERS
From Mrs. Virgil Blackburn,
Corning, Arkansas: How well I
remember way back as a child,
the fall of the year was the busy
time in our small town—cot
ton picking in full swing—cotton
gins running day and night, with
loads of cotton being hauled to
the gins by wagon and team. Now
trucks or trailers do the job.
Several of the neighborhood
children would watch for the cot
ton wagons to come by on the
way to tlie gin three blocks away.
It was the thrill of our lives if
the farmer driving the team
would let us get on top of the
load of fresh-picked cotton and
ride to the gir.
Modern gin equipment has
quieted the noisy gin of yes
terday—but we would still love
to hear the put-put sound of the
old gins.
• • •• .
From C. G. Lyons, Santa Moni
ca, Calif.: I remember evening
hours spent on the porch of a
little mountain farm house . . .
the old hoot owl, a nightly visitor
... the bull frogs and their
merry chorus from the pond in
the field where the bull rushes
grew . . . the whippoorwills
calling from the meadow . . .
and the shrill call of the katy
did, sure sign of frost within six
weeks.
Then the sound of a wagon
coming up the rocky hill ... a
farmer or neighbor returning
from town . . jingling trace
’chains heard above the squeak
ing wagon wheels as the mules
hastened homeward. Soon, we
were off to our feather beds,
realizing that when the first
chicken crowed on the morrow
we could begin all over again.
