A CALL FOR CITIZENSHIP

The question you should ask your government to-
day is this: Is my money being used efficiently and
as economically possible? In other words are the
dollars pay government being wasted unneces-
sary? Maybe you have stopped to inquire about
these things True the right information is not always
hand the complicated system of budgeting and
appropriations is not easy to grasp Moreover, sums
counted in millions and billions are hard to compre-
bend. Still the problem of government spending
and taxing calls Tor of the most important and
far reaching decisions our national leaders will
be required to M Ike The who will have to make
these decisions your elected representatives and it
is your money hat is concerned. Those are good
enough reasons why you ought to be interested. But
more important. what's done this year about taxes
and spending may well give the answer to how long
America will survive It's your country, too?

You Should Get Mad

ment is overspeniing its budget by $51a billion, the
savings possible through good management and eff

thousand places where savings to the taxpayers can
be made. These will be made only if you want these
savings and demand that they be made.
You ought to get mad enough about this to write

something really personal just remember that you
are helping to p9v taxes today at rate that exceeds

Take The Large View

If this nation can develop government economy
that is sound and stable then America will continue
to occupy the No. place of leadership in the world
of nations If the nations financial affairs sound
there is a good chance that any domestic strain or
international storm may be safely Weathered. Having
the governments business a sound basis, there is
every for prosperity and plenty of jobs and
high production Then well have higher and higher
standards CT living.
On the other hand, there quite few shrewd
critics of America that disaster ahead One of these
is Joseph Stain who hopefully longs for American
economic COLLAPSE as the easy road to a communist
America. There many others who appreciate the
American way. but who fearful that government
spending and taxing policies will carry the nation to
decay World history shows quicker way to national
suicide than Wasteful spending and heavy taxing.
