frequently mentioned as a Repub-

what he termed the planned

EccleS in a speech before the

with the ability TO pay.
POWER TO DESTROY
Stassen. before the annual BAN
quet of the same conference, said
he recognized that 1.-The power to
tax can be the power to destroy, ="
and added
"The power TO tax can be the
power TO install a master planned
economy, bearing many similari-
ties TO the Fascist-controIIed
economy and the NaLi-controlled
economy.
Government in a democracy,
and with free economy, can
furnish cushion against the
harsher action of that economy,
but il cannot furnish a bed upon

Declaring in favor Of frank,
direct facing Of problems, instead
of an indirect maneuvering for

tion Of 20 per cent in non-defense
federal expenditures and a con-
current reduction Of 20 per cent in
