ed government planners, it is I'M
possible Tor us TO dream up sche
me that will make American con-
sumers better off by having them
subsidized by taxpayers. After all,
taxpayers are consumers, and con-
sumers are taxpayers. Money for
subsidies doesn't come out Of thin
air. you know.
If the government spends billions
these billions have to come from
somewhere. A government cannot
run counter to the laws of econo-
mics by spending billions of dollars
without ever showing the money. If
things done by the government, fed
eral and state and local. cost money
then obviously it is the people
who pay this money in order that
government may have it to spend
OF course the money may be Dor
rowed money. If it is debt, somebody
will have it to pay.
On Hiding Taxes
The hiding OF taxes is an old art.
Down through the ages, the despots
and tyrants got that way by fooling
the people one way or another while
taxing them. If we care to look about
we today can watch our standard of
living go down as taxes go up and
as our freedoms are one by one turn
ed over to the welfare state. It's in
tereSting how these things are: the
more we are taxed by government
the less we are able to do for our
selves.
The Tax Foundation has counted
up 116 different taxes in an mex
pensive suit of clothes. all hidden
away in the purchase price, and this
count did not include local taxes. Sc
many taxes are hidden that they're
hard to find. A good statistician can
surprise you about how much of the
money you spend goes into taxes.
But every dollar of the billions being
spent by government needs to be
watched. We've got to start looking
at this tax problem as if it were our
own. It is our money being spent
by the government.

AS citizens of the biggest taxpay-
ing country in the world, we have as
individuals largely ignored the fiscal
problems OF the nation. In other
words. we have cultivated in our
thinking the idea that taxpayers
can't mean us. but refers to some
body else. The other fellow, maybe
somebody rich, we suppose, is the
poor geezer who has TO foot the bills
that Uncle Samuel runs up. Let 'em
soak the richl Blood doesn't come
out OF turnips, we think.
Well. here in America today, we
have the highest taxes in our his
tory. Those sums the government
collects run the biggest spending
organization in the world. Our nat
ional budget is described in billions,
not Just millions. In fact, President
Truman has made proposals that II
adopted eventually would increase
the tax load by nearly $40 billion
in coming years-just about doubling
what the tax burden is now That's
your welfare state!
How You Come In
But, already the government takes
more than 25 cents out Of each dol
lar of national income. Not out OF
your income, you say? Possibly not
directly, but consider what your
wages or your income might be, with
out that 25 per cent levy upon your
actual earning power. If you were
able to keep 100 cents on the dollar
of the portion of national income
that is yours IL would mean that
your living standards would be con-
siderably higher than they are now.
Consider your taxes another way.
On the whole, the American people
spend mere for taxes than they do
for food And food in the average
household is most always the item
that takes up the bulk of the pay
check. Taxes. then are an important
item in the lives of each of us. Just
the feGeral part of our tax burden
averages 1882 apiece for every Am
erican and $1,128 for every Ameri-
can family of four
If YOU Live, You Pay
In other words if you are con-
sumner you are also a payer OF tax.
Consumers are not one group and
taxpayers another. Contrary to
ideas of some of the socialist mind

HON. ROY CoRDoNS TRIP TO WASHINGTON

HON. ~ IOhDONS TRIP TO WASHINGTON
The VISIT BY the Hon. Roy P. Gordon, Chairman of
the St Thomas Council to Washington in an effort to raHv
hePuo1can support tor the bill creating a Resident Commits
sloner tor the Virgin Islands is an entirely iustifiable one.
And it is gratifying indeed that the St. Croix Council passed
the bill for its share'of the expence, and the Governor ap-
proved the funds for that purpose. The need for a Resident
Commissioner for. the Virgin Islands is SO well known and
understood that further argument seems unnecessary. AGAIN
and again legislation designed to help the Territories some
how bypassed these Islands, and many examples can he
shown OF the neglect which we suffer because of the absence
OF someone on the scene to constantly remind Congress of our
needs.
Then THERE is the question of these Islands being
caught IN many a political wise, and before we know it, a bit
OF legislation which tor all intents and purposes seemed fa-
Vorable at the beginning ends up leaving us at the short end.
We need turn no farther back than the appropriations for the
Virgin Islands Company, which this year have been cut to the
place where only the bare essentials of operations can be car
ried on.
EVER SINCE OLD GLORY first flew over these Islands,
we have been a sort of stepchild, all other Territories and Is
land Possessions seeming to receive their share of benefits by
which their political, social and economic life have been en-
HANGED considerably. Not so with the Virgin Islands. We are
just now hearing Of bills which includes us in vocational edu
cation, yet there is much, much more to be done. And but
a couple OF years ago we lost an excellent opportunity to see
factories spring up here because of certain barriers which
cause certain products manufactured to be treated as if they
were foreign.
IN OUR SCHEME of things there should be no parry
division, for regardless Of what may be said, there are GER
tain essential services, and that Of the Resident Commission
er being paramount which, should cut across all party lines,
and unless and until they do, the Virgin Islands stand to lose.
