Starry Arkansas
You Pay for 1t

Other day that classic journal of
ours, the Arkansas Gazette, COM
mented: "The government has it all
figured out what people do with ev-
cry penny of their money. Now, if
only the people could figure out
what the government does with it."
That is a real poserl To be sure,
government has to spend a lot of
money. We r a big nation. More
over, we find it necessary to take
on obligations in many foreign
lands.
But whether the government
specifically the federal govern
ment, where they throw around big
sums) spends no more than is need
full is important to everyone. Gov
eminent is not a luxury; it is a
necessity. Yet, to read the budget
figures you would think all opera
tons were on a luxury basis.
Government Spends
That government is expensive was
proved again by John T. Flynn, who
showed in Readers Digest that
IVA, a government project, forgot
to include certain items in its book
keeping. Instead of the indicated
profit, there was a real deficit of
$3.50, 600 goo to June 80, 1914. Flynn
shows there was an actual loss in
sales of power to that date of $15,-
000, 900. This demonstrates that eff
cheney is a quality unknown to gov
eminent operations.
Here's a prophecy. Wait until the
budget is presented to this Congress,
then watch the departments and bu-
reaus fight any reductions. Increase
the appropriation and swell the
payroll - but shrink the swollen
department? Never.
Way to Depression
This kind Of s~elfishness means
meager tax savings. 1t permits lit
tie tax reduction for folks who so
much need relief. The more we tax
and the more we spend for govern
ment, the nearer we get to depres-
sion.
Taxes Of all kinds are too heavy
these days. Corporation taxes are
burdensome. Income taxes on all
levels are too high. The individual
income taxes cut down the rewards
of the wage Garner, keeping him
from saving and investing. Instead,
his tax payment is earmarked:
government expense" Some peo-
pc oppose tax reductions for cor
porations and individuals, without
realizing that continued heavy taxes
viii undermine our economic VS.
tenn and their own standard of liv-
ing.
Decisions Lie Ahead
Obviously, one of the quickest
ways to halt wasteful and u%nproit-
able bureaucracy is to stop feeding
fuel to its fires. Government, with
out a plentiful supply of tax money,
could hardly be wasteful govern
ment. Congress has the power to
say what the government shall
spend and what amount it shall col
leet in taxes. 1t is up to us to see
that our Congress keeps a proper
rein on collections and expendi-
lures.
Unwise spending and taxing
could take this nation into the bank
ruptcy of communism. 1t could do
it more quickly than anything else.
Indeed, the power to tax is the
power to destroy. We must see to
it that America keeps an efficient
and well-managed government, not a
wasteful bureaucracy. That will be
a powerful factor in deciding, in
the coming months, whether Amer
lea will remain prosperous and C o
nomically stable.
