EMINENT.
II this is done generally, The Star be-
lieves the result will be amazing. That
is the first big need-a wholesale slash
in appropriations After that we must
have taxation reform. to lift the distress
ing load off of real estate, especially the
farms. But new taxes, such as an income
tax, must come AFTER an economy pro-
gram has been adopted, and the new
taxes must be substitute for part Of the
old tax-not new levy on top Of it.
Furthermore, any new tax adopted must
hit first and foremost the people best
able to pay.
The immediate consideration, however,
Is to head off waste and extravaganza.
Get this idea over to the Legislature. That
is what the members have promised.
They are pledged to cut appropriations.
In the last two or three weeks many of
them seem to have lost all sight Of their
program and to have imagined that the
people, too, had forgotten. Wake them
up! Insist on an immediate big cut i'm
