Taxes SiphOn

How wonderful life would be for the
Noble county worker if he had no such pro-
blem as taxes to face.
To maintain his current scale of living
he would need to work no more than 512
hours day, for one thing. The remaining
two hours or so, of his present working day,
is the time he is putting in to pay his taxes,
Federal, state and local.
That is one of the facts turned up by
Tax Foundation, a non-profit organization,
in a vouminous study it completed recently
to show the impact of the multiplicity of
taxes imposed on people throughout the
country.
Taken into account were all income,
property, sales and excise taxes, as well as
the many miscellaneous and hidden taxes
that are collected by the three levels of gov
ernment, directly or indirectly All OF them
are ultimately passed on to the consuming
public.
In Noble county, on the basis of the Tax
Foundations findings and eparately-report-
ed income levels locally, the average family
has a tax burden that amounts to $l,l20
year.

Rural America CHANCES

to bring electricity to farmers who for one
reason or another could not be served on a
normal commercial basis. But that job was
completed long ago. So the co-ops more
and more, are engaging in general power
operations. 1t is now estimated that the
planned growth of these systems will require
an investment of billion dollars year
AS Mr. Lucking sees it, the co-ops should
now have the same goal as the Businessman
aged utility companies They should stand
on their own feet, financially and in all other
ways. And that certainly means that the
time has come to eliminate the costly, tax
payer subsidized favors the co-ops are given
under an old and now obsolete law, includ-
ing beloW-market interest on money borrow
ed from the government, and freedom from
various taxes.
To quote Mr.. Lucking again, "The basic
question is whether or not the development
of the electric business in this country will
be under free enterprise or whether the gov
ernment will have full control of this indus
try" That question deeply affects the phil
osophy that will govern the nation in the
future Will it be free nation, or politi-
cally-bossed nation?

That's Telling Him!

profession do so for humanitarian
purposes, there remains the
simple question of making a liv-
ing. No one wants to go to
school for at least eight years
only to donate his services gratis.
No medical bills proposed in
Congress have ever ignored this
basic fact. Yet if one were to
examine the books in the offices
of great many of our doctors
today, one would be shocked at
the numbers and amounts of
unpaid bills and couldn't help
but wonder why these very doc
tors are so opposed to the
specialization of medicine to some
degree. Wouldn't the doctors be
more assured of balanced books,
i.e., less unpaid bills, if the fees
were paid through govern
mental agency? One possible
answer to the above puzzle is
that many doctors believe that
they make better living as the
medical situation exists now. If
this is true why aren't they hon
est in their arguments instead of
using the self -defacing state
ments about the danger of poor,
sub-standard medical care?
Recently your Wspap er
printed the fact that Noble
county has a larger per capita
percentage of older people than
any other county in Ohio. Would
it be possible for the county
alone to support just those old
folks who are on pensions?
Could the county itself, during
the current school crisis, build
and maintain the schools that
are needed without outside fl
nancial help? Could the county
foot the bill for the necessary
building of highways and their
maintenance without bleeding
its citizens through taxation?
The days of "every township for
itself" are gone; the days of the
"welfare state" are here, and
the sooner we recognize it the
better. Have we forgotten that
the Noble county courthouse and
the Caldwell post office, not to
mention other buildings and pro-
jects in the county, are both
products of the WPA, of the in
fancy of the "Welfare state" in
the us?
Mr.. Sligh, Jr., and others like
him, are of course opposed tC
any political policies that woulc
reform taxation in the direction

Jul y 4th Reminder

That great day, the Fourth of July, has
passed again. Parades, speeches. and fire
works marked one more anniversary for the
American experiment in self-government.
Among other things, there were various ex-
hibitions of military readiness. Along coast
al areas, naval and coast guard vessels of
every kind and size were on hand to add to
the atmosphere and to remind people that
they have vast stake in the world beyond
the continental shores of the United States
The historic term Freedom of the Seas" has
greater meaning today than ever before. In
the words Of little booklet defining the

What we know as rural America has
been undergoing tremendous changes. It is
no longer, as it once was, primarily agricul-
tural. Non-farm families, business and in
dustry have been moving in ever-increasing
numbers from urban centers to rural areas.
This is especially true in Noble county. This
was emphasized by Walter Lucking, presi-
dent of the Arizona Public Service company,
in a speech made at the Edison Electric In
stitute convention. Then he showed what
this has done to the rural electrification
movement. In his words I" non-farm
elements now use more REA-financed cleo
tricity than farmers The REAs report for
the fiscal year 1859 tells us that non-farm
customers accounted for 54 percent of total
power sales Moreover, about IS percent of
their 13l, 500 connections were non-farm
rural consumers, ratio of 3 to / over the
farmers. This proportion is bound to widen
with the continuing growth of non-farm pop
ulation and industry in rural and suburban
areas"
1t is clear that the Rural Electrification
Administration and its co-ops are now en-
gagged in a class of business which was never
envisioned when the REA law was passed.
The purpose then, and the sole purpose was

Weeks and members of the
Board of Directors of the Lay

greeted by Brigadier General
Charles Rich, U.S.A., Com
mandant of the Corps of Ca
diets, and DR.. Theodore c.
Speers, Cadet Chaplin.
In making the presentation,
Mr. Sinclair Weeks made the
following remarks:
'In these days, when a God

promulgated by the enemies of
free men, it is heartWarming
to come to West Point on the

The motto on the shield of

change their role as students
and become teachers-in the
West Point Church School.
"Here they teach religion
and build character and surely
make a vital contribution to
the education of those under
their ch arge. A wonderful
contribution"
1t certainly is comforting to
know that while preparing for
a lifetime of service to the
military defense Of their coun-
try, the West Point Cadets are
keenly aware of the spiritual
heritage of America, and are
"defending" it through Sun
day School teaching.

mittee has done we'll in recog-

Of this sum, S72O goes to the Federal
government and $400 goes into state and
local Golfers. Included in the figures are
social security and unemployment taxes.
The combined tax collections, from all
the families in Noble county, add up to a
huge $3976,OO0 year, or about one-fourth
of total earnings.
Examined in the study was the question
of fairness in the distribution of the tax bur-
den and it's relative severity on different in
come groups.
It found that the Federal income tax
takes higher and higher percentage as the
income level rises but that a number of state
and local taxes work just the other way.
The property tax, as well as excise and sales
taxes become lower percentage-wise, in the
higher income brackets
Roughly, one balances off the effects of
the other, the study shows
In Noble county, on the basis of average
per family earnings locally, the tax load
amounts to some 25.4 percent of total income.
This was slightly lower than the average
rate for all income groups throughout the
country, 27.4 percent.
