The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1959-03-20

Through the services next week the
current Of divine life and action flows
into our souls and the events of the
Redemption are renewed and prolong-
ed and represented here and now. This
helps us to be renewed and strengthen
ed in grace for the coming year.
Participation in these ceremonies is
meaningless unless it is based upon con-
viction and understanding. We must
follow our missals, enter into the mean
ing and action of the sacred rites, and
say and sing the parts provided for in
the ritual.
Holy Week has consequences for our
hearts and souls every week of the
year. But the only way to receive that
influence. in your life is through full
participation in this week called holy.
From Palm Sunday to Easter the sacred
liturgy repeats the holy actions of
Christ as if they were actually hap
pening in the year 1859.
Your dedication to Holy Week will
bring you nea to Christ and make you
holier than in the past. What greater in
centive need we have? - CAF

More Sales Tax?

More money must be raised by the
State of ONO IN order to carry on the
present functions Of the State govern
ment. Even if some services are cur
tailed, there remain serious deficits that
must be made up. Also, there are exist
ing commitments that must be honored.
Governor Disalle's budget message
should be a subject Of serious thought
not only by the legislators who must
vote on its recommendations, but by
every citizen in Ohio. The budget mes.
sage was two-foId: it told what the
State is going TO do for its citizens, and
then it suggested where the money must
come from in order 70 carry out the
proposed program.
One of the ways suggested to raise
more money is to increase the sales
tax by adding to the present schedule
another one cent tax on some purchases
between 16 and Al cents. Some say this
kind of tax is an equitable one, be.
cause every citizen is equally affected
in his purchases.
This is not quite the case if the
situation is analysed, When the tax was
first proposed 20 years ago. one argu-
ment against the sales tax was that
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1959-03-20

while 1t treated all purchases equally,
1t affected purchasers unequally.
The man with little in his pocket
is taxed TO the same degree in those
things he must buy, as the n who can
afford it so much better. The sales tax
is not based on ability TO pay" II may
be said that it is the verification Of the
SeripturaI saying that ITO those who
have it, shall be given; and TO those
who have it not, shall be taken away"
Another anomaly of this type of tax
is that state government gives to
the poor, the aged, disabled and people
who cannot fully support themselves,
and then takes back part of that aid in
sales tax. T%Wo-thirds of the Increase in
spending by the State would affect
these people.
Of the eight means suggested in the
budget message TO raise more money
for operating expenses, the increase in
sales tax is only the sixth in pro-
dvetivity.
The sales tax has been with us more
than a generation, but length of years
does not sanctify it. There are other
emu of tax revenue that u legis-
lators may well explore. - CAT

A Week Called HOLY

At the very time God punished
Adam tor the sin which lost man
divine life, He promised to send a Re-
deemer to recover that precious grace
and reopen the gates of heaven,
For thousands of years, men longed
for the coming of the Messiah until He
was born in Bethlehem over 1900 years
ago. Sin brought suffering and death
into the world, but Christ used that
same suffering and death to defeat sin.
Through His Passion, Death, and
Resurrection Christ saved mankind and
restored grace to those who love Him.
This is the solemn mystery which the
Church celebrates next week. She in
viteS all of us to renew and rekindle
our membership in the Mystical Body
by taking part in the ceremonies that
llturgically re-enact the drama Of
Christ's redemption of man.
The Holy Week ceremonies are
unique because they not only commence
rate the past events in Christ's life, but
actually accomplish present effects in
our lives when we take part in them

of more frequent and
more systematic cooperation

with something for which it is
not to blame. 1t may stifle bus
mess initiative but it's pref

nectlon between the frame

programs and sins that crawl
out of the human heart. AS

AMERICAN RELIGION
If we were to scrap the Wei
fare State here in America
tomorrow, would the morals
of the American people i'm

welfare programs don't cause
men TO rape, steal and muir
der. Nor will you recreate the
soul of America by repeating
unemployment legislation and
old age benefits.
IL there's something wrong
with American morals, there's
something wrong with Amer.
lean religion. There is . close
connection between these fwo
factors. But | suppose noth-
ing will be done about Amer.
lean religion until public opin.
ion takes religion seriously
and prods the government TO
do something. Then the gov
eminent will aid religion as il
has done in the past many
times.
The Supreme Court will
throw out the McCollum case
decision and will allow teach
ing of religion and moral doc.
trine in the schools. The gov.
eminent will encourage relig-
ious and moral training in the
home. 1t will r%ediscover that

Should Speaker
Be Given Fee?
by FIR. HenIey

@. As officer Of parish
group am wondering what
should be our policy when we
invite q speaker TO address US.
Do we offer a fee and il So
how much? II IT'S priest? q
feiiow-psrishioner?
A. Naturally there can be
no definite or definitive an
swer to this question. 1t would
seem that any organization
with its own treasury should
make at least a token offering
for the inconvenience, the la
borious preparation and the
travelling expense of any
speaker. In a parish the pas
tor ordinarily establishes the
rule or custom for such things
and he should be consulted.
Many speakers make a point
OF refusing any stipend and
such a generous spirit should
be commended, but no one
should be committed to a def
mite date and a prepared
topic and the travelling ex-
penses of a speakers obliga-
ton without at least an offer
ing being presented. Many
times speakers viii make clear
beforehand that they do not
expect a stipend and there are
certain obvious stu ations
where it is not called for. Or
dinarlly a person would not
expect a stipend when it is
his own parish or where he
is speaking as public relations
representative for some organ
ization. A priest in his own
parish naturally does not ex-
pect anything but otherwise
priests should be offered
something to cover the taxi
