Diminishing Returns

The more the government taxes the
people the LESS the government has.
That is not a clever paradox, but a
plain FACT found in a statement of
the United States Treasury.
The figures just issued by Secretary
Morgenthau confess that total reve-
nues for the fiscal year 1889 were
SAT-, O99, 376 LESS than in the pre-
vious year.
There was a decline in tax collec-
tiOns from corporations, individuals,
excess profits, payrolls, and from ALL
OTHER sources.
What does that mean?
1t means that during the year the
INCOME POWER of the wealth-pro-
ducers of the nation declined to a
dangerous degree.
That is, all the people were EARN
ING LESS.
Corporations were earning less.
The less the workers and the corpo-
rations earned the less they had to
pay in taxes.
The less they pay in taxes the great
er grows the public DEBT and the
national treasury DEFICIT.
BUT the LESS the government re-
ceives in revenue the MORE it spendsl
That is not another clever paradox.
1t is a cold FACT.
The national budget is so completely
out of whack that President Roose-
welt now proposes that his administra-
ton be permitted to spend $4,000, 000,-
100000 more OUTSIDE OF THE
BUDGET.
That is not only one of the most
dangerous propositions ever made
because it means irresponsible PER-
SONAL squandering of the taxpayers
mOney-but it is a confession that the
New Deal is financially as well as
economically and morally A FAIL
URE.
No such CHASTITY rigmarole of finan-
cial incompetence, as you will find IN
the picture presented above, was ever
before revealed in any administration
in the history of our country!
More taxes-less revenue! The less
the receipts the more the expenses!
And, finally, SUPERINTENDENT
spending is proposed to bring US
prosperity!
If an individual ran his business on
such principles his relatives would
apply to a board of lunacy to call a
halt.
Perhaps the American public should
take similar action with regard to
their government.-Su Tele.

The small town newspaper
correspondent who wrote for the
bio time dailies suffered a Sc
we're financial blow with the
passing of the prohibition law.
He was paid by the line and the
city newspapers absorbed stories
on raids like starving dog laps
up milk. Dry agents staged daily
raids on stills in the nearby
mountains and frequently brought
their cannons into play. Stills,
would sometimes blow up and
with them also went the bootleg
gers. The set-up was perfect
for the news hounds in this sec
ton of the Free State and they
cashed their checks with painful
regularity.
