State Fiscal Policies

There are disturbing implications in the
findings of the Tax Foundation that deficit
spending by State governments has become
widespread in postwar years.
In fiscal 1916, the foundation reports only
one State recorded expenditures in excess of
revenues. BY 1850, there were So States so
recorded and, while this figure dropped off to q
in 1851, there are reliable signs that the deficit
trend will continue. In the aggregate, of course,
both expenditures and revenues have increased in
dollars but the total spent has been rising faster
than the total taken in. For example, total State
expenditures were $6.2 billion in 1916 as against
revenues of $72; for 1851 the expenditures we're
$3.50 billion as compared to revenues of $13.2
billion.
It has been argued persuasively that the
productivity and natural resources Of the United
States are so great that the cumulative public
debt-Federal, State and local-can be carried
without damage. It is fact today, however,
that virtually every source of taxation already
is being tapped by one or another of the three
government levels; some by all three. In addi-
tion public bond issues at low rates have become
increasingly unattractive to investment money
a circumstance that arises out of the inflated
currency of the times and may force higher
cost for such financing.
Since much of the State spending is for
capital improvements, particularly in two such
important elements as ScnooS ana highways,
there is the added factor of competing with the
Federal Government for scarce manpower and
materials-another infiationary pressure in itself
The foundation considers the possibility OF
increasing State revenues unpredictable and
recommends instead an emphasis on stabilizing
expenditures. In this direction it suggests that
economies might be effected In welfare spending
on individuals more strict utilization Of person
nel avoidance wherever possible of new programs
Of State services, and careful screening Of major

Super Salesman: Macarthur

Probably no man could tell which
wild wind is blowing Gould Lincoln of
center, but by patting the governor of
New York on the back with his own
book he contrives some odd contortions.
To wit:
America, with its great statesmen,
Governor Dewey added, surely can con-
vince people that the United States
represents their own hopes and aspira-
tions. Particularly with the Philippine
independence story to relate to them"
In that connection, neither Dewey
nor Lincoln mentioned the greatest
American salesman of them all.

frightens me is that all the Democrats
elected in the last 80 years have had
wars. Wilson had World War I; we
had high prices and wages and hun
dreds Of thousands of our boys were
killed. Roosevelt had World War II
that put men back to work and hun
dreds of thousands more of our boys
were killed. Truman gets elected and
if it were not for the Korean War we
would have had one of the worst de-
pressions in our history. What do the
American people want-plenty of in

'Porqy and Bess' Abroad

question the intent of those re-
sponsible for sending "Porgy and Bess"
to Europe. Is this opera a worthy and
combative answer to communist propa-
ganda?
Does it not say in reality and effect,
that people, so pitifully depraved and
lascivious as those portrayed in this We
hicle. deserve the castigation of second
rate citizenship?
dare say few Europeans know that
there are thousands of Negroes who are
of the same moral, religious and cultural
caliber as their worthy white brothers.
(This fact is seldom noted) Why
. then, should this masterpiece Of ignor-
ance, superstition and immortality be
shown to the people of Europe? It more
nearly serves the purpose of kindling the
fires of prejudice against Negroes. IN
fortunately, the classic. beautiful and
immortal music of Gershwin does not
hide the bizarre story. We deeply re-
sent being stereotyped in America and
equally resent the possibility and in
herent danger of such q stigma being
placed on us abroad.

Spend and Tax

1t is reported in Chemical Week
that our fine Mutual Security Agency
originally authorized purchase of one
OF the new TB drugs from manufac-
turer IN this country for delivery to Wet
Nam but. when this manufacturer of
fered to donate the initial shipment, the
order was Cancelled. The possibility was
rejected, presumably, because of the fear
that the manufacturer might benefit
from the publicity involved in this dona-
ton. Any Government agency having the
interest Of the United States taxpayers
at heart would not only accept but would
advertise for similar donations to for
eign countries. letting the publicity
chips fall where they may. But that
would reduce Government expenditures
--anathema to this administration.

 I left the Seattie-Tacoma airport on Aug. 4 The trip took four and a half hours. l really enjoy flying although the trip across country isn't as interesting as the one be- tween Wrangell and Seattle.

Right then and there l was inter viewed.

the testimony on the findings of
the Roper public opinion poll in
Marion County, admission of hear

History OF The Negro People


This recent publication "a Documentary History
of the Negro People, by Dr. Herbert Aptheker is truly
monumental work (The Citadel Press, New York,
$780, 1t is not simply authentic story of the contri
buttons of the Negro in American life from Colonial
days 1910 but is the voice of the Negro himself
he is represented in his long struggle for freedom and
opportunities to participate IN and contribute to the
stream of American life.
There are other works which have been descriptive
of the Negro and they have done good job in interpret
ing his role in America. But in his 942 page book, Dr.
Aptheker gives the words and thought of of
Negroes who lived through the critical periods of slave
ry, serfdom the Civil war; the Reconstruction and
the Negroes continuous struggle to make place in the
life of the nation.
When reads, for example, the letter of Frede-
rick Douglass to his former master the tenth ami
versary of his flight from slavery, Douglass becomes
than simply historical character he comes alive
and feels his heart beat, along with him in his
hopes and joins hands with him in the struggle
for freedom everywhere.
The book is not story about the Negro 1t is the
story of the Negro he tells it himself through his own
words in the form of letters petitions addresses de-
bates, manuscripts, newspapers journals and various
other media of expression.
DR.. Aptheker in setting forth the purpose of his
book in his introduction says: This work attempts,
within the limit of half million words to present the
essence of the first three hundred years of the history
OF the American Negro people This is done through the
words OF Negro men, women and children themselves .
These are the words of participants of eye witnesses
These the words of the very great and the very OBJ
scure these the words of the mass This is how they
fet this is what they this is what they wanted -

of painstakng research the part Dr. Apheker AS

primary documents depicting the story of the Negro
