Rough Winter In Store For Montana

mate result is the theory of communism

self controlled by central government
In the meantime capital is flowing to
big business, creating giant corporations,
while small individual business is hamper
ed, if not s-rangled, by lack of capital and
keeness Of competition That is the present
trend.
The American Press Magazine points
out that high taxes have dried up the in
centive for risking capital. "Why should
a wealthy investor take a chance on
small business enterprise when he knows
that 52ff of the earnings of company he
backs will be paid in taxes and up to 91G
of his share of the remaining 49, will
also be handed to Uncle Sam?
Small business provides jobs for peo-
pie especially in the small towns and rural
sections. It is logical to presume that tax
reduction. on small business would attract
more risk" capital and relieve the popu-
lation exodus from non-urban to urban
centers
Big businesses and corporations, and
even small businesses and individuals are
creating trust funds to ease income
and inheritance taxes. But that is another
story which will require discussion all its
own Suffice it to say. that we believe some
of the funds from the trusts have fallen
into the control of administrators with
ideas and principles far afield from those
embraced by the people who accumulated
the wealth of which they are now benefic-
iaries.
Standing athwart the movements to-
ward socialism and reaction is no easy po-
sition. but it must be remembered that
basic principles provide the only safe pat
tern. This we learn from past experience
and the history Of world progress. Econo-
mics are out of gear.

the truth was told that is the exact position
Of the Democrats-to maintain the public
schools and make possible education for
all of the people through racial segrega-

schools makes education ineffective even in
areas where civic racial indignation has
been effective for generations. Really main

Soaking the rich has come to an end
Back in the hectic days of Franklin D.
Roosevelt's first term the cry was soak
the rich with taxes make the old so-and-
SO pay, he's got it - take it away through
taxes, particularly income and inheritance.
Since 1882 this policy has been continued,
except that now everybody gets soaked.
The government is taking more and more
each year in income taxes. and placing
other restrictions 50 as to assure depend
ence upon the government by all of the
people.
What has happened?
The United States Chamber of Com
merce comes up with these astounding sta
tistcs:
If all income fax rates above 500 were elm
mated, the net immediate loss TO the govern
ment would be only 1884 million or not more
than II of the current federal budget.
Less than a. of total taxable income is re-
ceived from persons getting more than $4,000
Only about l0s6 of total taxable income is
received by persons getting more than $4,000 a
year
The obvious fact is that if all of the in
come above $4,000 was to be confiscated
completely it would pay small part Of
the current federal budget. The prepond-
erance of Americans are earning less than
$4,000 and these people are paying the
bill for the great social experiment, not
nationally but internationally. Those who
were perfectly willing and anxious to sup
port the 1882 policy of soaking the rich'
must wake up to the fact that today they
have soaked themselves.
Karl Marks theory was that income tax
Is could be used to distribute the wealth
thereby eliminating the wealthy classes.

Debt Is a Way Of Life

MILLIONS of Americans no longer go in
l'A to and out Of debt as their forebearers
did. Today's family goes into debt when it
starts as family and stays there indefi-
nitely.
Car dealers say that the most ideal pros
pect for a new one is the man who is just
about to make his final payment on the
bus he now drives
Nowadays debt is symbol of rising
standards of living rather than a symbol
Of distress. The management Of the family
finances has passed from the household to
the bank or finance company. What's left
after the first-of-the-mon payments are
made is left for day-to-day living
And Americans seem to like it this way
No one has given a serious thought about
the problem Of making payments when the
breadwinner is out of job In fact.
whole generation has grown up in an era
when Jobs hunt the men. not vice versa.
Full employment is not only political
necessity it appears to be matter of life
and death for most Of Us.
