You And Him Fight

The complainant, the man who

virtually all of the Legislation op-
posed by industry in the session
just concluded was stopped short
OF enactment in most cases,
far short of enactment.
And what was passed was
greatly weakened between the
time Of introduction and the
time of enactment.
There are a number Of rea-
sons for this outcome. Certainly
one Of the important ones is the
fact that spokesman for industry
presented convincing case to
congressional committees and to
individual members of the Sen
ate and the House.
Industry was disappointed by
the failure Of Congress to enact
tax reform legislation but it was
generally recognized that there
was little hope for accomplish
ment along this line in a heated
election year.
Major industry supported tax
measures included these.

next year.
But the most significant result
this year was the failure Of
most Of the antibusiness legisla-
ton. In addition to industry OPP
position, major reasons why Con-
gress did not approve more Of
these measures include these:
|. The power Of the Southern
Democratic Conservative Re
publican coalition.
2. The power of the House
Rules Committee, which decides,
except for extraordinary proce-

Water For Survival

WE all realize that water is vital to
life, and that at times it can get out
of hand and give us untold trouble.
There are many conflicting interests
that have many different ideas on how
to handle water supplies.
All this has been forcibly brought to
the attention of all of us recently in
several ways. To name just few a
water conservation stamp was issued in
April by the Post Office Department,
the theme of National Wildlife Week
was Water - Key to Your Survival"
there was the recent hearing here in
McGehee by the Corps of Engineers on
how best to handle the water in Bayou
Bartholomew and as if that wasn't
enough we have all seen a lot of water
on the ground and in the air last winter.
Even in the comparatively small
area of the country represented by the
Bartholomew watershed, there are many
diverse interests. The farmer needs
water to drain off his land quickly but

was the beginning of a nations

Bobson Discusses
For What Are We Spending Our Tax Money?

On The Atlantic Ocean. Sept.
8. = AS I travel about the world
am concluding that we, the
people of the United States, pay
the highest taxes of any nation
with a responsible government.
We know the direct tax bill
which we get from our cities
and towns, based on real estate
assessments and the direct tax
bills which we get from our
counties, states and Federal
Government; but we fail to
recognize the indirect taxes we
are paying. No other country
which annually visit has such
indirect taxes.
What Are The Indirect Taxes?
When l have meal costing
a $1.00 or more in many states
there is tax added to the bill.
All OF our states have gasoline
taxes ranging from two cents to
eight cents a gallon, in addition
to the federal tax. When we
travel on a turnpike, or over
certain bridges. the toll is an
other form of taxation. S 20 m e
cities and states also have sales
taxes which are added to the
cost of our daily purchases. You
may think that the government
pays you your Social Security,
but really you have been taxed
for this for many years. Then
there are the liquor and ciga-
rette taxes. and the taxes you
pay when you send a telegram,
make certain phone calls and
buy transportation kets.
There are many others, too.
which l could mention.
The greatest unseen tax which
every consumer in the United
States pays is the corporation
profits tax. This applies to all
corporations. It means that up
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-09-13

higher taxes, and yet these tax
es are "shot in the arm" to
prolong our present prosperity.
Is the U. S. Welfare State?
No it is not, compared with
m a n y other countries in Eu-
rope. The most marked example
is Sweden, which / visited last
year. There the mother is help
ed while the baby is being born,
and is cared for during the first
five years Citizens can get free
hospital service as well as free
education. The railroads, tele-
phones. and BUSES are owned
by the people. The government
builds and operates cooperative
stores and many places of
amusement. However, l found
these were not appreciated by
the people; instead, they were
complaining about the high
taxes. This is also evident in
Denmark, and even in England.
Human nature seems to be
about the same all over the
world, although l found better
spirit in West Germany than
anywhere else. There the people
seem to realize that in the end
they get what they produce, and
hence are willing to labor hard
and do excellent work. The
threatened revolutions through
out the world today, whether in
Cuba or Central Africa or
Southeast Asia. are based on a
determination to get more and
DO less. However, the situation
IN China, which l hoped to visit
this year but have been forbid
der to by our government, is
based upon people awaking from
a sleep of many centuries Here
are 65O,0OO,OOO people with
100000 being added every
month!

NO COMMENT
WASHINGTON, Sept. Z - The
BY JAMES W. D0UTHA1

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z - The
1860 election year session Of Con-
gress granted industry a reprieve
with respect to virtually all Of
the anti-business legislation push
ed by the New Dealers.
It must be pointed out en-
phatically. however. that this
does not necessarily mean a
long-term victory for the conser-
vatives.
The degree Of long-range vic
tory ~ or defeat remains for the
future to determine.
And the outcome will be de-
cided in large measure by
the selling job performed for
their program by the conserva-
tives among the voters of the
United States.
In the first place, what Con-
gress did or, more important
politically. what it did not do
is certain to be one of the hot
test issues of the political cam
paign leading up to the Nov. 8
presidential and congressional
election.
In the second place, all OF the
New Deal legislative proposals
not acted upon this year plus
many new ones - will be push
ed again as vigorously as pos
sible in the 1861 session of Con-
gress.
What happens then will be de-
terlnlned - to very great de-
gree - by the Nov. 8 election.
If the New Dealers should
add to their. strength, the diff
ficulties Of stopping undesirable
legislation and Of obtaining en-
actment of desirable legislation
obviously will be increased.
But gains by conservatives
would tend to lessen the diff
culties Of stopping dangerous
legislation - and of obtaining
enactment Of desirable meas
ures.
Because of this future uncer-
tainty, conservatives warn that
the record Of the 1860 session of
Congress coupled with t h e
similar record of the 1859 session
provides no solid reason for
complacency.
It is a fact, however, tn
