ALMOST EVERY DAY

ALMOST EVERY DAY we read some
statement from member in Congress to
the effect that taxes must be reduced to en-
courage production and employment. And
then we read where local communities, towns
and cities in all parts Of the United States
are to be advanced funds by some Federal
bureau to finance projects all the way from
sewers, sewage disposal plants, water and
school facilities, to billOn-dOllar power plants.
Some of these Federal funds are free
grants and some are to be repaid with or
without interest at some questionable time
in the future Not only are these funds being
provided from the Fedora! Treasury for
purely local community activities, but po-
itical pressure is on for billions more to be
spread by the government through every
reduction in one breath, vote for such cost
lv programs of FcAa'..' .ndouts and domi-
nation of local pol.' .tivity in the next
breath Centraliz, government always
sinks its roots deeper into loca affairs via
the debt obligation route.
Why kid the people about amy noticeable
tax reduction, while the presents from 4 Fed
eral Santa Claus grow more numerous and
costly? If the people stopped to think, they
would know he is a fake Santa Claus be-
cause for every dollar gift he hands out he
first collect more than a dollar in taxes to
pay for it.
You will be lucky if your taxes are not
increased as projects to compete with phi
Vate enterprise grow bigger and bigger
Only reversal Of this process offers amy
hope for tax reduction

No Stretch

No NIFtIcH
ON dreSs-up evenings in most
towns there is considerable bed
room muttering from the distaif
side about the quality OF harness
that goes underneath the feminine
tinerv seen by the outside world.
Has been ever since the War Pro-
duction Board decided rubber, cot
ton and steel strips could be put TO
somewhat more rugged combat use
than they would get in foundation
garments. SO naturally there was
matronly hope that Army releases
uf large amounts OF cotton and
rubber would enable Manufacture
crs to correct matters. Feminine
authorization was further whetteu
10y widely puhlicized WPB state
Iatnt to the effect that twO-way
stretch girdles would be back by
November.
Price Regulations
Then came disappointment. The
{ urset and Brassiere Assn. Of
America openly declared that no
such supplies would be available
in anything like volume quantities.
Disappointment could be traced
back to that perennial diSappoint-
Il ent. the OPA. Foundation max
ers said "While manufacturers are
now freed from regulations which
formerly restricted the buying of
materials, they are not freed from
price regulations which determine
the types OF garments they may
produce.
The trouble with OPA pricing in
this rcconVersion period is literally
the same fault found III wartime
CorSetry no stretch.
In practically every field. ap-
parel. automobiles, foods, gadgets
building materials. that fact shows
again and again. All production
costs are up. especially labor costs,
and the OPA partially recognizes
this. Yet manufacturers are not
being permitted To make those
price adjustments necessary to
business and the sort of volume
production which makes jobs.
Elasticity Needed
Until the government forces
OPA to add the sort of elasticity
that is needed both in feminine
fashions and the national economy
ecOnversiOn is likely to be slow.
There is not much logic in de-
hyin2 people things they did with
OUT while victory was i'll the max
ing. Why starve of the prosperity
that comes when there is a de-
iand for goods, a Willingness tC
make them, money to buy them
and great need for the jobs those
factors create"

serve what men have Strivtn and died for
through the centuries We cannot honor too
highly the sacrifices of our young men to

Of all the guides to Il better civilization,
the oldest is the Bible. For ages it has stimu-
lated, cOmfOrted and inspired those who have
turned to it. 1t is common knowledge that
men who have long neglected church and the
teachings Of the Bible found solace in it un-

creed that one-half of the production Of local
industries is to remain in the localities in
which it is produced. The balance is to be
distributed by the Council Of Peoples Com

Moreover, news releases report that a new
tiVe-year plan is in the otfing, under which
the Russian economy is going to be developed
1or the good OF the state as Il WHOLE without

What far cry from this country. Here

ton OF playing second fiddle to any state
