THE ENEMY WITHIN

An increasing number of financial ex-
perts warn that our federal tax system has
become a threat to Americas economic
health. Among them is Arthur F. Burns,
Columbia University professor, former
chairman of President Eisenhower's Coun-
Gil of Economic Advisers, and authority on
business fluctuations.
In California speech, Burns said we are
running a great risk in keeping tax sys-
tenn that not only discourages enterprise and
investment, but also "diverts the energy of
some of our ablest citizens into channels that
may bring tax advantage to them or their
nations productivity"
He contrasted our stultifying tax system
with measures adopted by the Russians to
promote individual effort.
"The Russians have in recent years been
very methodical in creating large income in
equalities," he said. "In particular they re-
ward handsomely their managers, scientists,
teachers and the more skilled factory work
ers. But while they have been devising spe-
cial incentives to spur productivity, thereby
adopting the practices of our older capital
ism, we have adopted a tax system that
weakens the incentive to create and produce.
"Can it be-" Professor Burns asks, "that
the Russians have rediscovered one of the
main secrets of Western economic success,
while we have allowed our idealistic impul-
ses to obscure the sources of our own great
achievements ?"
That is a pertinent question, Professor
Burns. We would like to see it brought up
at the next session of Congress-

the family budget.
For those customers who like
the convenience of 30-day Charge
Accounts, such a service is offer
ed, featuring d practical Credit
Recorder device, which records
each purchase, during the month,
telling the customer at any mo-
ment exactly what her purchases
have been. Through the Credit Re-
corder,. there is no shock at
months end when the credit bill
arrives, since the customer is con-
stantly aware of exactly how much
money she has spent. No service
charge is made if the account is
paid up at the end of the month.
If the customer elects, she may
convert her account balance for
payment over a longer period of
time. For the purchase of major
items, Grants will offer an extend
ed payment account, giving the
customer up to three years to pay.
This 3-point Credit Program is
one of the most extensive offered

AS though the new Milford unit

Thanks to the greatly enlarged

with every other item sold in this

plus airplanes, have raised havoc
with the railroads as we'll as the
large cities. The railroads now
employ only 100000 workers CON-
pared with 100000 in 1850. Trucks
are carrying the less-than-carlOad
freight, while supermarketS and
shopping centers are distributing
the merchandise. Use of natural
gas has doubled, while coal has
suffered tremendously. The num-
Der of miners working in some
areas of West Virginia is now only
half those in 1850.
THE BOOM Is HOUSING
Since the census of 1850 the u.
S. population has increased by
2006; housing by 709c. And almost
half the expenditure for total new
construction is now going into
housing-practically all in the su-
burbs, and built mostly on credit
amounting to $1G0 billion or more.
The most unfortunate figure in
this 1860 Census is the amount be-
ing spent on borrowed money.
These great mushrooming suburbs
are built on borrowed money-not
only the new houses. but also their
furnishings and the automobiles. /
estimate that the suburbs have also
borrowed. since the 1850 census,
over 800 billion for roads. side
walks. water. gas, etc. One dollar
out of every eight of take-home pay
is apparently obligated for appli-
ances and other things useful but
not necessary. What would happen

THOSE BALMY DAYS

A couple of months ago, be it remember
ed, the order of the day was to complain a.
bout the heat. Perspiring citizens looked a.
head to crisp autumn weather, thinking how
fine it would be to have to wear jacket and
muftler against the chill. Now those same
citizens, wrestling with storm windows and
covering plants against the frost, begin to
look back rather wistfully to balmy summer
days.
Well, this is a reminder that balmy days
are rot everything they're cracked up to be.
Consider the recent news item about what
transpired on day of that variety in Rio de
Janeiro. The water supply was shut off for
repairs, buses were more crowed than usual
because trolley workers were on strike = and
the temperature was in the 90s 1t was bamy,
all right As for us, we'll take autumn.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN BE

At one time the most remarkable thing
about our federal government was its re-
spect for the freedom of the Individual and
its non-interference with peoples business
affairs. Times change In recent years the
federal government has been playing an in
creasing role in our private lives and in our
economic lives.
Some government interference has been
justifable Antitrust laws, for example, and
labor-managemen legislation. Other actions
are hard to defend. Such as the decrease in
the value of the dollar, by governments ina
tionary policies. And the mounting taxes
on individuals and business-taxes which
curb growth and the making of new JOINS
Despite the rapid growth OF, big govern
ment, the basic mechanics of our representa-
tive system is unchanged We who vote
can, if we choose, elect the executives and
legislators who want to run government eco
nomically, reduce taxes, and provide the eli
mate for saving and investment in which
jobs are created and sound economy growth
can take place.
On the other hand the voters can-under
the spell of easy promises-put into office the
so-called liberals who claim that all prob
lens can be solved by making big govern
ment bigger by spending more taxpayer
money, and putting more strains on our bus
mess system. They can-but let's hope they
don't.

Chamber of Commerce was fore
casting a population of 100000
for the city. Boston proper did
reach 100000 in 1850: .but the
number has since dwindled to
SIT 900. -
Boston has lacked natural re-
sources. with the possible excep-
tion of the fishing industry. Edu-
cational insti 5utions and small fac
tories have been its chief assets.
Boston may still claim to be a great
educational center, but it is rapid

THE RISE OF SUBURBIA
The most revealing statistics of
the 1860 Census concern the
mighty force and growth of su-
burbia. Most people who have left
the large cities have not moved
to other states Rather. they have
moved primarily to new suburbs
some fifteen to twenty-five miles
distant. This not only gives them
better living conditions. but pro-
yides an entirely new social life.
Major factors causing this
change are automobiles, telephones,

UNICEF Celebration
Due At Harrington

The 1860 UNICEF celebration in
Harrington will be held on Friday
evening, October 28th beginning at
Century Club. All children in the
community are invited to attend.
AS in the past the women of the
w.S.C.S. of Asbury and Trinity
Methodist Churches have been on
the planning committee and have
arranged the event. However, all
churches are being asked to paru-
cipate, by sending their children
to assist in the door to door can
vass for funds that will be made.
Last year children from st. Ste
phen's Episcopal, Baptist. Holiness
and Church of the Nazarene were
all represented as well as the
sponsoring churches.
UNICEF, the United Nations
Children's Fund, is the largest in
ternational organization concern
ed exclusively with children and
their mothers. The gifts of coins
gathered In Harrington will help
provide milk and medicine for mil
lions of UNICEF children around
the globe.
After collecting the money the
children will return to the Century
Club for refreshments and to see
cartoons.
An Innovation this year in the
plans has been assistance given by
the third grades of the Harrington
School. Under the direction of Mrs
Leland Milspaw. Mrs. James O'Neal
and Miss Oda Baker, their teach
ers, the children have been making
posters and decorating small con-
tainers to be used to collect the
money.
