Federal Per Capita Debt More Than
"a Times Greater Than State Average
By PAUL o. PETERS in I'VE The People"

On June 80, 1850, the Federal
public debt stood at $685., 1857, 352,-
BAL or $1,696.74 per capita. On
September %, 1851, the Treasury
reports the debt at $257 1852, 1885,
TIA and predictions are that the
debt will rise to well over $780,
000,00O,000 by the years end.
By comparison, the total of all
State debts at the end of 1850
was $4,578, 100000, an average of
$31.33 per capita.
Thus it is apparent that the
Federal debt on per capita basis
constitutes a tax burden on the
American people more than 81
times greater than the State debts,
and there apparently is no inten-
ton on the part of the present
administration to reduce the
spending for all kinds of interna-
tional adventures in various parts
of the world.
AS matter of fact, if the >ad-
ministration's announced objec-
tives are to be carried out, prac-
tically one-third of the wealth pro-
duced by the American people in
the next decade will be diverted to
the uses Of the Federal Govern
ment in promoting economic in
.ternationalism, and preventing ag-
gression no matter where it oc-
ours
While the Federal Government
has been building up a mountain
of debt many of the States have
exercised economy and vigilance
in their spending without any det-
riment to their people, and with

IT Taxes
ALL KINDS
BY DAVE WEST

No, brother, we wouldn't take an
oath that we didn't fly part of the
way home in Derrick's jeep last
Saturday afternoon. Some of those
places we must have flown, or
we'd never have made it. Return,
ing from Manteo we followed the
edge of the water from the met
almost to Buxton. We'd have to
call it moderately terrifying; that
is, we alternated between abject
terror and great, relief. Each time
we opened our eyes we'd find the
last impossible place had been pas
sed. Then we'd bang 'em closed
again Immediately, for, looming
ahead of us, would be another
sharp cut in the shoreline or some
other impossible hazard.
When we jeeped across the
dunes to the highway, a mile or
so north of Buxton, we were re-
lieved that we'd made the trip
without experiencing any of the
particularly horrible kinds of mis-
hap we'd been envisioning, and let
down that the tingling ride was
over.
Are we the last Dare county
resident to have driven the surf?
If so, we've gotta find some in
nocent to describe it to. Tell i'm
how you tear along like a fright
ened breeze because, if you don't,
your car may break through the
surface crust, forcing you to scut-
tie for high land when the tide
comes in to work over your four
cylinderer sitting duck (that this
once actually happened to Derrick
and the jeep we rode in didn't
take any of the Jingle out of Sat
urday's scamper). Or tell i'm about
the danger of becoming becalmed
in quicksand.

When we get our hooks in the
buttonhole of fellow who'll ad-
init he's never driven along the
surf, he'll get graphic descrip-
ton of the way you ride along for
fifty or a hundred yards some
times, half-tilted over towards the
sea, clinging to the narrow little
rim of beach that lies outside some
jutting dune or steep-banked sand
spit. He may be foolish enough
to think of a shoreline as straight
or gently curving, so that one driv-
ing along it would command an
uninterrupted view of the track
he's to follow for hundreds of
yards ahead. The more fool he!

Riding that endless stretch of
soft sand hummocks and deep,
watery holes that connects (if
separates" is not the better word)
Oregon Inlet with the paving at
Rodanthe is, of coursei' good
conditioner for putting a man in
the mood for driving the surf. But
what we can't understand is how
in the world any man gets up the
necessary gumption to try driving
it the first time. Why, all of the
places we would have differed
with Derrick's tactics, if we had
been under the wheel, would have
cost us about dozen jeeps: how
can a man know enough about
how the things got to be done to
get his vehicle through safely
when he's never done it before?
Riding with someone else is not
the way to get the courage, that
we know: for we crawled out OF
Derrick's jeep at the end of the
trip with profound admiration
for his know-how and a most pro-
found conviction that we'd never
never be able to make such a
drive. We dope it out like this

ordinary conditions; once in q
