In voting a four year extension

consideration as separate legis-
latiOn the thOrny problem of defer
ment of essential workers, such
as scientists and farmers.
Committee hearings on a pro-
posed amendment to the original

According to DR.. Howard Meyer

DISsENTERs Sill NEEDED

When the Republicans came to power in
1852, halting continual expansion of gov
ernment and curbing nOn-military govern
ment spending were clear-cut issues, as they
had been for many years. One of our major
political parties was the rallying peint for
millions OF American citizens who, above
everything else felt that this country should
remain land of limited government and
maximum individual liberty. No sensible
person expected big government to disap-
pear overnight. The important thing was
change in direction and philosophy.
We are now enjoying unparalleled peace
time prosperity. In the din of rising pro-
ductlOn and soaring material comforts, the
issue OF big government versus individual
liberty has been drowned out But the fact
that there is little organized dissent does not
necessarily prove that we are headed in the
right direction
Big government, the age-old destroyer of
mems freedom, is not diminishing in stature
IN the United States. The Presidents recent
message to Congress furnishes plenty of evi-
dence of that. He outlined S101 ,000, ,OOO, 900
ten-yeaF highWay-mO program
lie asked for more public-WOrxs programs /:
special aid to lOW-incOme farm families ;
more loans OF the taxpayers money to small
business. still more gOvernment-sUbsidized
housing; a Federal health-reinsurance pro-
gram; Federal aid to build more schools. He
asked Congress to raise the Federal mimi
mum wage from Is to 80 cents an hour and
to expand its coverage. In the meantime the
public debt continues to rise
Humanitarian and progressive as these
proposals may sound, they lead in but one
direction greater dependence upon govern
ment, and less freedom for the individual.
We are still headed towards the day when it
VIII be mpOSSiDle-afteF taXeS-tO provide
for our own individual security. We will be
compelled to lean on government whether we
like it or not. When and if that day arrives
the American people will no longer be free,
either economically or politically Is this
what the majority of our people really want? +?

LINCOLN1S LAST HOURS

Another book has been added to the long
and eveT-grOwing list of books about Abra-
ham Lincoln. The man holds fascination
for writer's that is understandable The
strength Of his character, the size of his con-
tribution to the world, the classic pattern of
tragedy into which his life can be fitted, make
him an ideal subject. The most recent book
"The Day Lincoln Was Shot" demonstrates
that at least there are, still new ways to tell
the story.
Written by an old newspaperman, Jim
Bishop, it is an hOur-by-hour account from
the record Of the day on which Lincoln died.
1t is a story written as a police reporter
might write it-there is little that is specu-
latiOn in this book and little that is new. The
presentation is fresh and different, however,
and it is the sort of book that can be recon-
mended to anyone for the insight it gives
into the events of the assassination.
1t is a mark of the greatness of Abraham
Lincoln that almost century after his death
his life, in its smallest details, still can be
written about and can still attract enough
readers to make its publication profitable

MORE FOOD AND BETTER FOOD

Ever kick about the price of food? Then
some facts cited by the head of food chain
association may prove enlightening. We
spend a little more for our food now than
we used tO-25 per cent Of our dispOsable
family income went for it in 1854 as COM
pared with % per cent in 1859. But we
get more food and better food, including
foods which have undergone time and labor
saving processing. If people bought the same
food today as in 1859, it would take but
II per cent Of their income.
And here's another striking fact-we
must spend far more for taxes than for
food The tax bill was about $85,000, 100000
asst year and the food bill S64,000,000,00O.
Keep that in mind when you're dealing with
budget problems.
ATMOSPHERE ISN'T EVERYTHING
The atmosphere of the past is subject to
constant change-whether we like it or not.
Long ago the old fashioned general store
of cracker barrel fame gave way to cOmpe-
titiOn, service and sanitation. We lost some
thing in the process. At its peak the general
store was virtually a community town hall.
But the consumer was pretty much at the
mercy of such stores both in service and In
prices as they were near mOnOpOlies. In most
cases they remained that way until cOmpe-
titiOn forced change. Today the consumer
can choose a retailer who offers him the
most in variety, price, or service.
We no longer shop leisUrely. We are ac-
custOmed to entering a modern store, find
ing what we want and leaving. Most of us
would be impatient if we had to wait for the
proprietor to finish as "hOst" to a customer.
ahead of us. The stocks of goods carried in
stores of another age would seem totally in
adequate today. The relaxed atmosphere of
the Old-time general store is gone, but few
would care to return to it's ways. We move
at more rapid pace, and retailing is geared
to it.
THERE AREN'T ENOUGH RICH
Does anybody still believe that we can
maintain the government by soaking the
rich, as the Old-time agitatOTS used to claim?
WE'LL here is what the Tax Foundation
has to say about that If the federal govern
ment took 100 per cent of everybOdys tax
able income above $4,000, the gain in reve-
nue. would be less than $4,000, 100000
which wouldn't pay governments costs for
a single month.
If it took all taxable income above $4,000
"a figure which is certainly far cry from
riches these days-the Treasury would ben
eft to the tune of $13,000,OOO,OOO. But that's
only One-fifth of our current annual federal
spending.
There just aren't enough rich or well-tO-
do people to meet the costs. So the burden
of government is borne by the masses of
people and always will be.
