IL has approved $4,000 to enable Cordova to con-
tinue preliminary planning on an estimated $4,000
project to rehabilitate its water system.
Fairbanks has also recently been granted an in
terestee loan of $4,000 for expansion of its water
system by the same organization.
Each spring City Council and our Chamber
of Comemrce set out with plans to get Monies water
and sewerage system under way and soon find them
selves SO throtted and sWamped with the many prob
lens and projects within the community that the year
goes by and the big project so vital for development
remains undone.
A special Water and Sewer Committee selected
by both the Chamber and the City should be organized
for the sole purpose of working for the project The
committee should be men qualified engineers
as well as businessmen with the know how and
ability to keep trying to make contacts with the many
agencies who have funds for this work. and report to
both the Chamber and the City their progress The
appointments should be for at least three years. SO
the work may not be handicapped by turnover of
personnel every year.

prevails in only one ear-may lead
to serious or even dangerous conse-
quences, DR.. Albert P. Settler OF
the University of Pennsylvania
Graduate Hospital made this
point in recent medical journal:
common sense demands that re-
moval of ear wax be part of every
swimmers summertime health
routine.
Cold water entering the ear
labyrinths responsible for body
balance causes vertigo, the Phila-
delphia physician explained. When
wax clogs an ear water fills one
labyrinth and not the other. The
resulting unbalanced reaction
makes it difficult for the swimmer
to Judge body position.
Under these conditions swimmers
often panic; many drown.
Wax removal, of such prime i'm
portance to every swimmer, used
to be dangerous and complicated
process. Fortunately the old tech
nique of Instrumentation and high
pressure irrigation is being dis
placed by the use of a new drug
formula, Kerid Drops. Scientific
testing of the ingredients of Kerid
reveal that the agent remarkably
facilitates the safe and easy re-
moval of ear wax within a matter
of minutes.

THE
A vi Z RICAN
WAY
What Will They
Use For Money?
By WILLIS E. STONE

Chairman, National Committee
For Economic Freedom, Los An
geles, Calf
The abolition of federal indi-
vidual income taxes is becoming
a major issue for 1860. 1t is one
of the detectives of the pro
posed 23rd Amendment pending
in Congress as HI. Res. %, and
already approved by the States
of Wyoming, Texas and Nevada.
An equally important objective
of the amendment is the removal
of government from direct COM
petition with private taXpaying
enterprise This amendment
provides:
Sec. l. The Government of the
United States shall not engage in
any business. professional. COM
mercial. financial or industrial
enterprise except as specified in
the Constitution.
Sec. 4. The Congress shall
not levy taxes on personal in
come. estates and/or gifts"
The magnitude Of the first sec
ton is not generally understood,
while the idea of repeating the
income tax challenges our imme-
diate attention. An editorial in
the Fort Lauderdale tFla.) News
of March 20, 1860, discusses the
question of "Where the federal
government would get the money
to support itself if the income
tax were to be repealed"
The editorial points out that
This is a sensible question, but
according to the proponents of
the 23rd Amendment, it has
sensible answer"
"To begin with, they (the Ma
tional Committee for Economic
Freedom point out that forcing
the federal government to liqui-
date all its corporate activities
would Immediately produce a
savings Of over $44 billion a year.
Since individual income tax re-
ceipts produced a revenue of ap-
proximately S37 billion in 1859
this would leave the federal gov
eminent with a net savings of
more than ST billion a year.
"To better understand this kind
of figuring, it is necessary to
point out that federal corpora
tions have now taken over con-
troll of 40 per cent of the land
area, and 20 per cent of the entire
industrial capacity. More than
half of the current federal reve-
nue. is required to pay the losses
of these government corporations
and defray the hidden costs of
their operations, according to the
statistics compiled by 23rd
Amendment supporters. This is
where the $44 billion would come
from to compensate for the $37
billion the federal government
would lose through the repeal of
the income tax amendment.
The New York Daily News. in
an editorial of March 81, 1860,
dramatically illustrated the areas
of savings:
1.-THE government would be
kicked out of its current and ever
increasing competition with pri-
vate industry and business in
numerous fields. Foreign aid (by
politicians would be outlaWed.
Government owned enterprises
such as Tennessee Valley Author
ity would be sold to private in
vestors and put on the tax rolls.
