It isn't very often that representative
from Noble county receives so much recogni-

Edmund G. James, of Caldwell.
John P. Coleman, executive director of

resolution which their board of trustees
adopted at the August meeting in recognition
of the outstanding work Rep. James accom-
plished for the entire state at the last
General Assembly
This resolution is as follows and speaks
for itself on behalf of Noble county's repre-

himself and brought credit to this county
by his untiring and unselfish efforts in
behalf of each and every one in this area:

Hidden Faxes

You are spending much more than you
realize, dear Noble county taxpayer to keep
the wheels of government-Federal, State
and local-rolling along
AS did most people, you thought you
were paying about a sixth of your income
for the purpose That was the amount that
was asked of you as a married man with
two dependents and with average local
earnings of $4,000.
According to a recent study, however,
you are spending much more than that
through indirect taxes that make sneak
raids on your wallet. In your case, these
extras bring your total tax up to $1,2l0 a
year.
They are the unseen levies applied along
the way on nearly everything you eat and
use. You don't see them because they are
hidden in the price you pay for things. They
have been added by the producers, manu-
factures, middlemen and retailers who have
had to pay them along the way
There is for example, the $555 in taxes
($288 visible and $267 hidden) on a $4,000
car. The hidden part consists of Federal
excises on the radio and heater, license and
title fees, local business taxes and many
others. These are included in the selling

lars to foreign socialistic and
communistic governments so
that those governments may
keep their people suppressed.
All this adds to our burden.
Last January, when the 1858
backbreaking budget was in
troduced, great surge of pub
lie resentment against such
insane spending and taxing
procedures was evident. After
a week with the home folks
during Easter vacation, Con-
gress displayed a new Spirit Of
fiscal sanity.
Since that time, hCNeVrr,
the bureaucratic empire built
ers have recaptured our Rep
resentatives in Congress. The
evidence is clear.
The highly publicized cuts in
the budget recommended by
Congressional c o m m t t e e
were largely restored, without
publicity, when the appropria-
tions were voted.
To divert public attention
from the realities of the bud
get, bureaucracy whipped up
the Initiation" bugaboo, but
the fact that the inhuman tax
burden is the basic cause of
initiation has been carefully
concealed. Even Defense Secre-
tary Wilson joined the ''infla-
ton" chorus, charging that
tight money, wage increases
and farm subsidies" make in
flation. Actually, such things
are the result of the initiation
created by the high taxes re-
quired to sustain the bureau
cratic empires.
Congress TALKS about get
ting these empires out of COM
petition with private enterprise
while it actually passes bills
prohibiting the Defense De-
partment from closing any of
its more than $4,000 business
establishments, such as ice
cream plants, laundries, etc.
This indicates a congressional
allegiance to bureaucrats rath-
er than to taxpayers.
The American people have
voted out public housing at
every opportunity. States, such
as California, have even

housing projects. The Admin.

An analysis of these hidden taxes has been
made by the Tax Foundation, national,
non-profit organization seeking more effici-
ent government
Application of its findings to Noble
county shows that local residents paid an
estimated $4,230,000 in the past year, directly
and indirectly, to tax collectors. 1t came
out of a gross income of some 14l00,000
This, in general, is what the Tax Founda-
ton study shows:
A family with income of $4,000 pays
$772 to Uncle Sam alone. State and local
taxes amount to another $271, for grand
total of 81 ,043. In other words, such family
pays nearly third of it's earnings in taxes,
visible and invisible.
The $4,000 family pays $1068 to Uncle
Sam and 1857 in state and local taxes, a
total of $l,425.
The $500 family pays Uncle Sam 81 1864
and $673 in state and local taxes, making
its cost for government $2637.
In Noble county, where the gross income
per family averaged $4,O40 last year and the
net earnings, after income taxes, was $3715
the total tax bite, including hidden taxes
averaged $1,210 per family.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1957-09-05

istration ignored this, and
made a budget request for
funds for $4,000 public hous-
ing units. Our far-from-econ-
omy-minded Congress multi
piled the request by four, ap-
proving $4,000 public housing
units at a cost to taxpayers of
nearly two billion dollars.
The budget approved by
Congress authorizes the great
est political spending spree in
our peace-timc history. Now
Congress is busy considering
sup lcmental money bills" to
finance projects not included
in the budget appropriations.
On August 9th, Congress APP
proved one Supplemental
money bill" which included:
$l3,3l7,000 more to the Ten
nessee Valley Aut hority
(Which has already consumed
more than two billion tax dol
lars).
$2,200,000 for trade fair ex-
hibit during the summer of
1858 to be held in Cork Park,
Moscow, Russia.
So that's where our money
goes, and that is where it will
continue to go at an increasing
rate until we stop this wild
spending dead in its tracks and
take away the power to tax our
personal incomes.
Because its OUR money that
is at stake, and OUR freedoms
which are being frittered
away, we. each have a real
interest in getting action on a
Proposed 23rd Amendment"

Res. 355. It provides that:

The sensational disclosures of
the counter-spy, Mr.. Boris Nor
ros, relative to the extent of spy
ing activities here in America
only bears out the suspicious of
many of US that the Reds are
going about their business of
infiItrating the American scene.
1t has been intimated also from
time to time that Communist
money is secretly being poured
into American enterprises with
the aim to gaining control of
some of the key industries of
America. This can be accom-
plished by the expedient of fur
nishing the money to agents to
purchase stock in the agents
name and thereby gain control
Of the activities Of even defense
industries. During recent hear
ings of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee, l questioned
the Chairman of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation
with regard to a proposed pro-
vision in the new Financial IN
stitutions Act which would re-
quire the disclosure of bene-
ficial owners of bank stock.
1t is alleged that Swiss bank
ing institutions have been the
innocent media for much of the
| unidentified money coming into
America for investment. The
fault lies with the fact that Swiss
law does not permit the dis.
closure of the identity of the
owners of funds deposited with
those banks. This law prevails
even though the government re-
questing information is a friend
ly government. The Swiss banks
are, therefore, able to purchase
stocks in corporations in America
and no one is able to find ou-
who is the beneficial owner.
1t would be ironic, indeed, i
the Communists would adop'
| Capitalistic schemes to gain con
troll through the purchase o.
stocks of key industries in The
United States, but l am con
| vinced that the Communist pro
gram would not hesitate to use
any means, legitimate or illegiti
mate, to attain its goal.

Crooked Tree

Near a century ago there grew
a tree in what is now Jackson
township, Noble county, which
reached maturity as of the ordin-
ary tree. There was nothing
strange or startling about this.
But between the roots and the
first branch there was a double
"crook" in the body. For years
this tree remained as a part Of
the surrounding dense forest
when it finally faded, Withered
and dWindled away into dust.
Soon thereafter a hamlet began
to develop in that locality and
an "old timer" who remembered
the tree with a double curve in
its trunk suggested that the
growing village be named
Crooked Tree" in its honor and
memory and so it was and ever
since the name has been con-
tinued. For many years an an
nual harvest home picnic was
held in a grove near the village
and was always largely attended;
but the event has finally been
done away with by younger
| generations who seemingly have
not the time to devote to its
carrying on.
Crooked Tree has a living
honor that cannot be equalec
anywhere; it was the sending oi
