SHINING The Taxpayer

They tell this one about a lady
who was visiting in our 49th
State, Alaska. She was looking
over fox farm, and after ad-
miring particularly beautiful
silver specimen, she asked her
guide:
'Just how many times can a
fox be skinned for his fur?"
"Three times, madame" re-
piled the guide, keeping straight
face. "Skinring him any more
times than that would spoil his
temper"
There's lesson to be learned
from that "shaggy-fox" story for
many of our Washington repre-
sentatives and nearly all of our
Washington bureaucrats. They're
doing mighty good job of skin
ming the poor, down -trodden tax
payer and the first thing you
know, he'll be losing his temper.
The wonder is that the afore-
said taxpayer hasn't lost his tenn
per long ere this. Until recently,
he contented himself simply with
grumbling about governmental
waste and extravaganza, confin-
ing his gripping to his family, his
nelghbors and fellow-workers.
But there are signs that he's
about ready to rebel against tax
ing so much and so often out of
his hide. More and more of him
are letting their representatives
and senators know that they are
fed up with being skinned.
They are pointing out that
there is to be national election
next November; that their votes
Will go to candidates, who either
have practiced or tried to prac-
tlce economy at the nations
capital.
Yes stree, thee a limit to
now often you can skin tax
payer without his getting a
mad on"

The gift included recognition
Of the right of private prop
erty as inseparable from the
stewardship of freedom, and
vested in government the func-
ton to guard those rights and
responsibilities.
That vastly significant con-
tribution to the political and
economic life of man in con-
sequence of the birth of the
Savior, found fulfillment in
the birth Of nation 1877 years
later.
The Constitution of the Unit
ed States of America embodied
within its provisions principles
which had flowered in the life
of Jesus principles upon
which nations must be found
ed and sustained if freedom is
to live.
1t is the fact of our Constitu-
ton which makes possible the
continued existence of America
as the land of the free and the
home of the brave" in spite of
the edict of history that the
maximum life of democracies
is only about 200 years.
1t is precisely because ours
is not a pure democracy with
its unchallenged control by
majorities and the helpless
ness OF minorities to protect
their inherent rights, that
America may live on as a free
nation. Above the power of the
majority is the authority of
God and the sovereignty which
He vested in the individual
human being. Our country is a
constitutional and representa-
tive Republic with basic demo-
cratic principles in its recogni-
ton of the sovereignty of the
individual.
In our Constitution is written
the basic law before which ma
jorities and even government
must bow in obedience. There
we have crystallized the prin-
ciples essential to the develop
ment of man and his evolution
to ultimate "one-ness" with
God. Lose that Constitution
and we revert into a democracy
which brings its own destruc-
ton through the tyranny OF the

How To StifIe The Soul

Having always been proud of
my Swedish descent, l was sad
dened to read what is happening
to the homeland of my fathers.
The SWedes have been a sturdy
people, and in years past l have
been pleased to think they had
done so much to conquer natural
rigors with material achieve
ment.
But the Saturday Evening Post
for December 10, in Sweden:
Paradise With Problems" tells
of the fatal consequences when a
strong, free people sell their in
dependence for security" Pow
erty and hardship have been
virtually eliminated from this
most highly developed of the
welfare states. Now they have
reason to worry about 'the
worry-free life"
For suicide, drunkenness
crime, delinquency, dissolution
of the home, apathy, boredom
not to say, taxes-are rising al
an alarming rate. Once-sturdy
character is giving way to moral
flabbiness. Says one observer
''Theyve thought of everything
but the human spirit!'
"The idea,' said another, "was
to give people benefits and they
will turn out to be good citizens
Things have apparently not turn
ed out that way" And another
"The boring predictability anc
lack of adventure of life in {
secure society can be just a:
frustrating to restless youth a.
the slums and poverty that breed
delinquency in the Unitee
States!'
It's an article for reading anc

self. Let me not follow the clamor
Of the world, but walk calmly in
my path. Give me a few friends
who will love me for what I am;
and keep ever burning before my

hope.
And though age and infirmity
overtake me, and l come not

thankful for life, and for times
olden memories that are good

This Is Tax Reform?

If you prefer not to get mar
ried or own your own home,
don't care about churches,
schools, hospitals, and charities
supported by private gifts, are
sure that your family can keep
healthy and avoid expensive
disasters, and don't want to in
vest in such things as bonds and
insurance, you may look with
favor on the proposed "revolu-
ton in income tax laws"
The lively analysis of it in
u. S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT
for December IA is must" read
ing. No doubt income tax reform
is long overdue. No doubt, too
the proposed reforms" will pro-
vide some relief at both ends of
the economic scale. Lower rates
and vastly simplified tax forms
(by eliminating deductions) will
have great superficial appeal.
But take another look. The
simplicity takes us another step
toward uniformity! For the sake
of dollars, it strikes at the heart
of our most cherished institutions
and values-the home, our volun-
tary agencies of religion, educa-
ton and service, not to speak of
the right to enjoy the fruits of
ones own labor that income taxes
have flouted from the first, And
behind it all, of course, is the
idea of perpetuating spend
thrift, welfare" government!
Tax reform? Emphatically yes!
But do you reform a thief bv
giving him a different set Of
tools for robbins a bank?

A GREAT DAY
By DR.. Alfred p. Haake

Another Christmas Day has
receded into the Past, leaving
in its wake the fading tingle of
gifts exchanged and goodwill
shared. For a brief season we
felt ourselves lifted above the
litter of broken packages and
wrappings, loose ends to be
gathered together again after
the holiday. And perhaps a
sigh of relief marks the end Of
that holiday. Now we can
resume normal living.
But never quite the same.
For the momentary experience
of setting aside the mundane
considerations that normally
control our lives, to recognize
the birth of God in man, leaves
a mark that may persist in
spite of the moratorium OF
spirit that follows.
This year it comes to me that
the full significance of Christ
mas is not understood as it
should be. L. it were we might
not so lightly close the page
on that day unit! the lapse of
a year opens it again.
For many generations we
have shared gifts and partici-
pated in religious services to
commemorate the birth Of a
Savior. But there is another
aspect and significance to that
birth deserving commemora-
tion every day IF The year in
every department of our lives.
1; is blessedly true that the
Christ-Child came to bring
peace, good will and the re-
demption that makes both pos
sible. But He brought another
priceless gift to the stream Of
history, for the evolution Of
man to ultimate "at-one- -ment"
with God.
That gift was recognition of
the sovereignty of man, rather
than of government. Il was re-
neWed and impecable evidence
of the stewardship of freedom
bestowed by God on man, and
the responsibility Of the III
dividual directly to God for
that freedom and the life in
which to use it.

rHB AMERICAN HtY
Initiation Not Necessary
To Growth

You've heard and read the pro-
nonuncements of the starry-eyed
among our American economists
to the effect that creeping infla-
ton is essential to rapid growth,
and industrial expansion Well,
these fellows had better take a
course in American history.
Here's some of the things they'll
learn:
One of the most rapid growth
periods in our history occurred
during the thirty years following
the Civil War (beg pardon, the
War between the States). From
1869 to 1896, production practic-
ally tripled while prices were
declining 20 per cent;
From 1910 to 1915, manufacture
ing production increased 80 per-
cent while prices were showing
a moderate decline;
During the 1920's we expert
enced one of the greatest periods
of economic growth in our his
tory up to that time. National
output increased SO percent ir
8 years, while prices remained
practically stable
Secretary of the Treasury Rob
ert B. Anderson points out tha
most of the price initiation II
U. S. history has been during
wartime, or the periods immedi
ately following wars.
In view of the foregoing, VIZ
wonder just how certain OF ouI
economists (?) figure that creep
ing initiation is necessary f
growth?

majority. With us right is not
merely what the majority says
it is: right is what God has
ordained as right, and cannot
be changed by the Whims of
rulers, good or otherwise.
In gratitude for the glorious
heritage embodied in the gift of
the Christ Child, the heritage
of free nation of free men,
let us guard that heritage as
our best gift to the generations
that follow us.

Ohio will have 64 votes of the
total 1921 votes at the Demo
cratic National Convention in
Los Angeles, beginning July IL,
1860.
The Democratic National Com
mittee rules provide that the dis
tribution of votes for the 1860
National Convention is as fol-
lows: Each state has 2la votes
for each of its United States
Senators and its members Of the
House of Representatives. When
ever this distribution results in
a fractional vote for any state,
the next highest number shall
be used and the extra one-half
vote shall be classed as an at
large one-half vote for the state.
The District of Columbia has 8
votes, Puerto Rico, 6 votes, and
the Virgin Islands and the Canal
Zone each have 3 votes. If by
reason of this formula, any state
has less votes that it had at the
1856 Democratic National Con-
vention, the total vote in 1860
shall be increased to the total
number of votes had by the state
in 1856, the added votes are
| clasSed as at-large votes. Each
state, the District of Columbia
and each territory has one ad-
ditional vote for its two members
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, each to be a member of
the states delegation and has
One-half vote. In the event that
any member of the National
Committee is unable to attend
any session, the National Com
| mittees member designateS in
writing to the chairman of the
delegation a person to act and

SOME OF THE UPS AND
DOWNS OF POLITICS
hX. VICTOR MEEKiNS

Sometimes the simplest of cir
cumstances can rise up to sudden
ly turn people against a candidate;
one which they may laugh about
later, if sufficient time has elapsed
to permit recovery of equilibrium.
Take the case of the furore that
was aroused few weeks ago by
the efforts of the State Wildlife
Commission to enforce the States
small boating law all of a sudden.
Commercial fishermen got angry
because they were called upon for
second tax, when they had been
paying taxes for years.
They didn't like the idea of be-
ing swooped down upon all at one
time, by four game wardens, pis-
tolls strapped to their sides. "They
acted like they considered us out
laws" said the fishermen. Com
mercial fisherman never liked the
Wildlife Outfit from the day it was
formed some Is years ago when it
was stripped from the c & D de-
partment and set up independently
in mushrooming new agency.
"Who's responsible for all this ?"
was the thunderous question, and
somebody said: "It's the Herbert
Bonner bill" That was enough, it
spread like a marshfire, they cussed
Bonner and the game wardens, who
retreated. Some of them are said
to have actually quit their jobs,
rather than deal with the irate
fishermen.
But time rolled along and the
fishermen have been permitted to
see things differently. This So tax
the State of North Carolina was
exacting TO build up it's wildlife
fund was something that was not
contemplated when the National
Boating Act was passed for the pro-
lection of people in every state of
the Nation. The commercial boat
men were already covered by boat
ing laws administered by the Coast
Guard. This new law was to put
under regulation the wandering
thousands of boats that fit from
place to place behind automobiles,
to be turned loose in so many cases,

BLUEFISHING TIME IN
OUTER BANKS WATERS

MANTEO. - May is the month
for bluefishing in Dare Coast Outer
Banks waters and excellent catches
have been made in surf and inlets.
Channel bass too are still being
caught when weather and water
conditions are favorable from boats
in Oregon and Hatteras Inlets and
by surf-casters. From anchored
boats in Hatteras Inlet the fish
have been taken with cut bait and
Hopkins lures.
Bluefish have been taken on bait
cast for channel bass but the real
killer for this fighting and popular
game fish in the Hatteras surf has
been artificial lures. In the inlets
the blues, especially when the big
blitz gets underway in mid May
bluefish will usually hit any type
of lure trolled in the wake of a
boat. Sometimes they are so hungry
they will even hit a bare hook.
More than 200 channel bass have
been taken from the surf and in
lets of the Outer Banks since the
seasons first for 1860 was landed
by Tom Noble, Richmond near Hat
teras village on April 2. On April
20, the seasons largest to date was
boated at Oregon Inlet by William
T. Lanham of Arlington, Va. His
fish weighed COZ pounds.

be in a minority, although con-

to them the course marked out by

believe that truth crushed to earth
will rise again. Only through Sc
curity in this sort of faith may one
maintain the zeal on which life
of dedication may survive.
