The Budget and
Federal Spending


1t is very discouraging to the
average resident of Southeastern
Ohio to note that the cost of our
government in Washington con-
tinues not only at a high level,
but, worse than that, it continues
to increase. AS a member of Con-
gress and a taxpayer, / am very
much concerned and downright
unhappy about it. The first in
clination after studying the Fed
eral Budget is to give voice to
dissatisfaction and make all
sorts of Incorporate remarks
about across-the-board reduc-
tons and cuts. Then, calmer rea-
soning suggests that we look at
the situation coldly and factually.
Those facts show us some reasons
for the big budget.
am not defending our fiscal
giant and / am determined to
help reduce it when the appro-
priation bills come up for con-
sideration, but | want to touch
on some of the factors which
make our budget big. Some are
legitimate, some are explalnable,
some are unavoidable, and some
(for which we are thankfully are
points at which we can start
reducing.
Point One: In general, govern
ment became more expensive as
the nation grew. We are not the
same second-rank nation we were
in 1900 when our budget was
593 million for a population OF
75.9 million persons. We have
grown from 1927 million people
in 1880 when our budget was "A
billion, to 1906 million in 1850
with a budget of 41.85 billion and
down to the present population
of 1885 million with a budget
of 72 billion. However, growth
alone does not account for the
spending colossus the last two
decades have seen erected in
Washington.
Point Two: Fixed and progress
sive items and expenditures for
veterans and other segments of
our population will continue to
increase as the ages and dis
abilities of the veterans popula-
ton increases. This very neces-
sary expenditure would be re-
quired even though no new vet
.erans legislation were enacted.
Another fixed cost is the inter-
est on our national debt. This
debt is now $276 billion with an
nual interest payments of $7.3
billions. This interest figure is
the cost of wars and past Federal
policies involving spending more
than our revenues. Thus, this in

X The American Way

1t is this columnist's studied
opinion that we have gotten
dangerously near to confisca-
ton and communism by per-
mitting the Federal Govern
ment to levy such a heavy inn
post on incomes.
The Founding Fathers in
tended to leave to the individ-
ual States and to local govern
ments within the States,
maximum of authority to con-
duct their own State and local
affairs. At present the Federal
Government under the au-
thority vested in it by the 10th
Amendment, has the power
and is exercising it, to tax in
comes both large and small
to the point where there is
little or no taxing power left
for the States.
lllS 1llIl SdSCu L CdSI al tuhe1-
ton, with resultant loss of tax
ing power to the smaller units
of government, has created a
dangerous concentration of
power at Washington. The Fed
eral Government has usurped
many of the functions that
rightfully and constitutionally
belong to State and local gov
ernments.
To fully protect the rights
of the people, the States and
the local communities, the 10th
Amendment should be repeal
ed. Failing that, then, at least,
a definite limitation should be

of the total in the nation from all causes -
were due to the heart diseases. Moreover,
100000 persons in the United States,
half million of them children, are victims
of one or another form Of these diseases.
Without the research advances in recent
years, the latest statistics would, of course,
be considerably worse. But what are we
doing to make the prospects brighter?
For the third consecutive year, the Heart
fund drive in this community will be under
the chairmanship Of Mrs. Betty Murphy, who
has had the additional and valuable services
of members from the Caldwell Business
and Professional Women's club, in past
years.
The drive this year will be conducted
on house to house basis on Sunday after
noon, Feb. "a.
Local residents are asked to cooperate
in the drive and give generously that
research might continue and eventually the
dreaded heart disease, this countys Number
l killer, might be wiped out completely.
1t is only through your financial contri-
buttons that such goal can be attained in
the years to come

LADY IS FREE OF
RHEUMATIC PAIN

One lady told us she had rheu-
matte pain so bad she had to walk
with cane most of the time. The
joints of her knees and ankles
were stiff and sore. Recently she
got RUGON and says the pains
began to go within a few hours,
and now after one week the pain
is gone entirely.
RUGON is helping SO many
victims of rheumatism and neur-
tits because this NEW Liquid
Formula contains Three Won
derful Ingredients. Not a tablet
of capsule. RUGON goes to the
very source Of pain almost at once
and costs but few cents day
to take. So don't go on suffering.

Store.

THE POWER TO DESTROY
BY George Peck

From time to time through
out the history of this nation,
amendments have been made
to our Constitution. Those
founding Fathers who were
wise enough to draft the great
est document of political free
dom in all world history,
knew that with the growth of
the U.S.A., and changing con-
ditions, notifications would
have to be made. Therefore,
they most wisely made provis-
sion for amendments to the
Constitution and prescribed
the methods for enacting them.
Including the Bill of Rights
(the first ten made shortly
after the drafting of the Con-
stitution) in all, twenty-five
amendments have been made
to the Constitution. 1t is a dis
tinct compliment to the fore
sight of the Founding Fathers
that number of these amend
ments have been injurious to,
rather than constituting i'm
provements to that historic
document.
One of these the 10th
Amendment - was a grave
error. First, because it granted
the Federal Government the
right to levy and collect taxes
on incomes. Second, and this
is what really has caused
erievous trouble, no limitation

Outlook Dim !?

There is only one thing that we know for
certain.
USR 81 from Cleveland to Marietta,
through Caldwell, has been very much in
the news but evidently it depends on what
section of the state it originates.
The newly formed USR 81 association,
represented locally by Bolon Farmhouse, met
with Governor c. William O'Neill last Thurs
day and the entire delegation was enthusi-
astlc about the response and encouragement
received at this meeting
But at the same time, The Columbus
Dispatch in central Ohio, carried a story to
the effect that the outlook for USR 81 being
greatly improved was very dim.
1t is certainly hoped that from the very
beginning, USR 81 will not become poll
tical football, within the state highway
department..
Every community from Cleveland to
Marietta has been vitality interested in the
improvement of this highway and it is a
natural north and south link from the great
St. Lawrence seaway, as we'll as the gateway
to the south.
But central Ohio is taking more dim
view Of it's possibilities and it is believed
that the following comments developed from
the state highway department, following
the meeting last Thursday.
The release said that Southeastern
Ohio's hopes for an economical new look
appear to stand little chance of early aid
from the one department in which the state
is best able to lend hand"
Highway officials as much as admit
that political considerations block an early
move to turn at least USR 81 into a modern
highway leading into the area from the
industry-rich northern sector of the state"
"For quite few years, Southeastern
Ohio has been championing the cause for
giving north-south route 81 long-delayed

was put as to the percentage
the government can levy and
collect.
During the debate in the
Senate, on the enabling act for
submission to the States for
ratification, one very astute
Senator suggested that limi-
tation of ten percent be writ
ten into the act as to the per-
centage Federal Government
could levy on incomes. He was
almost laughed out of the Sen
ate for deigning to suggest
that any Congress of the U. S.
A. would ever dare to take as
high as ten percent of COM
pany's or an individuals in
come. No limitation was put
into the 10th Amendment, and
we now witness the sad spec
tacle of the Federal Govern
ment not only deigning, but
actually taking as high as 81
percent of certain incomes.
Chief Justice Marshall, in
concurring with Daniel Web
ster, said: ''The power to tax
is the power to destroy" The
several States which ratified
the 10th Amendment most GER
tainly would not have done SO
had they dreamed that some
day the Federal Government
would presume to take as high
as 81 percent of an individuals
income.

is confiscation of all wealth.

times the size of our entire
yearly budget in 1900.
Point Three: Defense. We are
buying more and more national
defense as the dangers of
smaller world and a more hos
tile adversary became more ap-
parent. These weapons are more
expensive. Today, the imple-
ments of defense are complex
machines instead Of horses, cleo
tronics instead of simple wire
less, supersonic jets instead of

Curtiss- Wright biplanes, guided
missiles instead of "Springfield"
rifles. Here is one point where
every prudent economy must be
exercised to make certain that
our defense bill is kept free of
padding, waste, and duplication.

it or not. l have been so critical

find parking space and has less congested traffic to

Britain in the Middle East.
The Senator said he told the
Egyptian President that the
Eisenhower Doctrine does not
involve domination Of any other
country by the United States,
but offers only cooperation with
those who accept it voluntarily
Although emphasizing that as
Ia Democrat he never campaigned
for President Eisenhower, Sena-
tor Humphrey said he told Col
Nasser that Mr.. Eisenhower Is q
man Of peace. who Is fair and
decent, and that If Col. Nasser
could not get along with the
President he could not get along
with anyone.
The Senator said Col. Nasser
then switched the discussion to
the Arab refugee problem. sug-
|gesting that the United States
does not care about them. This
prompted the Senator to remind
the Egyptian leader that Vice
President Nixon stressed the
refugee problem as one Of the
most urgent when he returned
two months ago from his African
tour.
