THE AMERICAN WAY
A Narrow Escape

Undoubtedly you've heard or
read the story about the half-wit-
ted farmer who conducted an ex-
pertinent with his horses. If SO,
you will recall he came to the
conclusion that it was costing him
too much to feed them; and so
one day he cut down on their
quantity of food. This didn't seem
to have any apparent adverse ef-
feet upon their health or effici-
ency; SO he made a further cur
tailment, still with no evident
bad results.
What this farmer overlooked
was that his horses had been well
fed over a long period of time
and had built up reservoir of
fat upon which they were draw
ing to carry on. So, Mr.. Farmer
made further cut, and then an
either, and finally he quit feed
ing them entirely.
One of his neighbors to whom
he had boasted of his scheme,
asked him how it finally worked
out. Came the reply: oh, the
experiment was a huge success as
far as | was able to carry on with
it, but darned if the horses did
not die and l was not able to
finish it."
It's really a silly story about a
very foolish man. It is hardly
credible that any farmer has ever
lived who could have been so
asinine. Definitely. it couldn't
have been en- American farmer.
Perhaps it really never happened.
But whether real or imaginary,
there is deadly parallel between
that story and what went on in
America the past twenty years.
Our government conducted what
it considered to be new expert
ment. There really was not any
thing new about it, because over
the centuries many nations have
carried on similar experiments,
and like the horses of the foolish
farmer, these nations died-all of
them.
The political planners who en-
gineered the great American ex-
pertinent neglected to take into
account that nations, even as
horses, must eat. Nations do not
feed on oats. hay and grass, but
on taXes-taXes which are paid
by the citizens to enable govern
ment to carry on its functions for
the welfare and protection Of its
citizens.
Therefore, it would seem like
good horse-sense to make sure
that there always will be plenty
of well-fed taxpayers, healthy
and strong and able to pay into
the government that very essen
tial feed money Nothing should
ever be done to cut down on the
number of individuals or groups
whom government can levy tax
eS.
