How Much Taxes Do You Paw?
W. D. workmon

GASTONIA. N. C.-There's a
guy here in Gastonia who be-
lieves in the old-fashioned idea
that taxes should be painful. He
gives his employees the chance
to say OUCH every pay day.
Edward F. (Bud) Gallagher
slips the needle to the workers
in his publishing house by pay
ing them everything they earn
and then taking back the de
ducts" that go for such divers
purposes as state and federal in
come taxes. social security, and
SO on. But during the couple of
hours between the pay-off and
the take-back, his employees get
a chance to fondle every dollar
they have earned.
All this makes for a bit more
involved payroll procedures for
the Good Will Publishers, but in
Bud" Gallagher's view it's
worth it. For one thing. his en-
ployes now KNOW how much
tibet are earning. Before the new
system was put into effect about
two years ago, they seemed to
underestimate their gross pay.
But the greater benefit, in Gal
lagher's view. is the cumulative
effect Of having citizens realize
just how much they are paying
out in the form Of taxes. Gal
lagher says:
I'VE as a company know that
taxes, and even relatively high
taxes, are necessary in our mod
ern society. On the other hand,
we are vigorously opposed to
painless taxation because we feel
that this. more than anything
else. will lull our people to sleep.
1T is our opinion that the
American people are perfectly
willing to pay taxes, but we feel
that taxes should always be pain
full. All of us should, therefore,
be acutely conscious as to just
how our tax dollars are being
used
1--WE feel that if more business
firms would adopt such a system,
the employees Of the nation would
become much more tax-con-
scious. and eventually public sem
timent would force more efficient
economic practices at the gov
eminent level"
If this sort Of thinking spreads
throughout the country, it could
play hob with the best-laid plans
of our politicians. For years now,
they have turned their talents to
the business of deviSing pain
less" methods of extracting taxes
from the long-suffering public.
Taxes nowadays are camouflag-
ed by other names. or concealed
by being imposed at levels re-
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-10-06

mote from the ultimate taxpayer,
or collected by businessmen en-
ployers instead of by bureau
cratic tax collectors.
The net result Of all these, and
other. tricks is to cover up both
the nature and the number of
taxes heaped upon the ordinary
wage-earner and consumer. The
average citizen regards his take
home pay as his actual salary,
disregarding or soon forgetting
that a chunk Of his earnings
never reaches his hands at all.
One fiendish by-product of this
withholding system is purely psy-
Geological: The worker comes to
regard his employer as the man
responsible for all the deductions
from his pay, while frequently
smiling gratefully upon Uncle
Sam for the tax refunds which
SO often become necessary when
more tax is withheld than is
actually due.
The Gallagher play upsets this
scheme of things. It brings home
to the wage-earner precisely
what his earnings are. how much
of them are being drained off by
the federal government, how
much by the state government,
and how much in the name of
compulsory social security pay
ments.
True. all these items show up
on paper somewhere along the
line for most American workers,
but few of them are subjected to
the real pain Of handing back
real money. This is exactly what
they do. however. at Good Will
Publishers here in Gastonia.
1t hurts. But-in the long run
it may help heal some OF our
taxitis.

Double Check

While the World affairs are be-
ing shook up the National Poll
tics are being shook down. The
big question is among the Re-
publicans. such as who killed
Dick Nixon or Is he dead. It
is always usual for the out party
to do this and this is nothing
out Of ordinary procedure. It is
very hard on the Republican
Party who only had eight years
in and they could not have made
any mistakes = they did so little.
But they get scored just the
same and now they are fully con-
WINGED that the next election will
not be theirs. The presumption is
evident that the hopes are LOW.
Somebody fumbled the ball.
There Is another movement on
foot to get all Of you to build
shelter what for can't
just see. The Big X has evidently
found out it's too far to walk
over and he has nothing. he can
trust to ride. His l0O999 tons
terrible bomb is just something
to start fires evidently he
doesn't know we have a law
agin' Forest fires over here
that will be the big pay off.
Some folks tell me I've been
too serious scared 'em. Well,
at first 1t sorter scared me too,
but let's take 1t easy from now on
out. We got men handling these
affairs. Trust in God and fear
no man.

Keeping The Record Straight

nR. j. Rupert Picott, executive sec
- rotary of the Virginia Teachers AS
ISOLATION, speaking in Charlottesville
before the Council on Human Rela-
tions, observed in the "crash program"
of the VITA conducted this summer in
Prince Edward County for Negro child
rem that the people of Farmville were
not quite "as far South of the border"
(whatever that means) on everything
as newspapers had led them to be-
lieve, and that an interracial faculty
can be accepted with graciousness in
the town of Farmville and the Coun-
ty of Prince Edward. He said further
that national teachers group planned
a study of events in Prince Edward
county since public schools have been
closed.
DR.. Picott and his group of teachers
were accorded every courtesy and faci-
lily by the officials and people of this
community in the crash program. At
no time in the past ten years have the
people of this county been anything
but courteous to those who came into
the county for any good purpose. Nor
have the people been discourteous to
each other
News reporters were unable to obtain
the name of any member Of the ''crash
program" faculty, nor were they al
lowed to inspect the teaching machines
1t has been surmised that the machines
were obtained through some govern
mental agency and were used here ex-
perimentally. The entire program was
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-10-06

carried through in relative secrecy by
teachers who remained anonymous.
Photographers were barred Most of
the faculty was recruited from other
parts of Virginia and several were from
out of the state. One white Episcopal
minister spent his vacation at the crash
program" and so far as could be as
certained he alone composed the inter-
racial part of the faculty. DR.. Picott
has made broad general statements
upon extremely flimsy evidence.
On trip to Asia, representing the
National Education Association, DR..
Picott said he was constantly asked
about Virginia's closed schools. Many
in the world make it their duty to
follow us closely, keeping track on
everything we don't do well", he said.
"Farmville is Americas great new
challenge" He said something must be
done "for the sake of America and it's
leadership in the world = for the sake
of the children ~
Prince Edward schools are operated
to educate Prince Edward children, not
to please Asians or those people Of any
other countries. The fact is that if the
VITA and the NAACP were half SO in
terested in education as they have been
in Indignation, schools for every child
in Prince Edward could have filled
the needs for education. Efforts to es-
tablish schools for the Negro children
were thwarted. No Negro teacher would
accept employment in private schools,
although some showed interest.
Let's keep the record straight.

Red China

THE United Nations session this month
spotlights the problem of admission
to Red China
The basic issue remains unchanged
And that is whether members of the
United Nations will be intimidated and
terrorized into admitting Red China to
the UN
1t could hardly be seriously argued
that Red China stands for the princi-
Piles so loftily embraced by the UN
charter And that charter specifies that
membership in the world body be con-
tingent on abiding by these principles.
Red China flouts many of these prin-
ciples quite openly and even went to
war against the United States in Korea.
Unless the weak and new neutral ma
tons put on blindfolders, it is trans
parently true that Red China is bent on
aggression, plans revolution and ex-
pansion all over the world and would
not abide by the principles of the UN
charter
This being true, why then do SO many
weak countries, new countries and So
called neutral countries, favor Red
China admission. The answer is sad
reminder Of the frightened men who
carried on the debates in the League of
Nations in the thirties.
To begin with the many small ma
tons who favor Red China's admis-
sion in the UN are hoping" admis-

in it, this is the fact: The Ameri-

faces: holocaust may come in the
space Of 80 minutes and he
knows it.
That this is so is evidenced by
the mole-like activity that has
broken out. suddenly, all over our
nation. People, literally, are dig
ging in; bomb shelters are being
prepared where only hammocks
swung before.
The question is this: Is it too
late to do anything constructive
about our peril?
In a practical, right-now sense,
the answer is. yes, it is too late.
For nearly 80 years we, as
voters, have supported our gov
ernment's overdrift into social
ism, we have played footsie with
Communism. Words of warning
by old-line patriots have gone I'M
needed.
Now the ogre's breath is on
our neck and we seek cover by
burying our head in the sand
The symbol Of our trouble is
Berlin. AS our former president.
Dwight Eisenhower, said a week
or SO ago: There is no room for
negotiations on the Berlin situa-
ton. We have made every con-
cession that can be made. Now
it is either put up or shut up.
We possess certain legal, treaty
bound rights pertaining to Berlin
and to give up even the least of
them is capitulation.
That is the meaning of the
crisis. If we concede there we
will not only break our pledged
word to the West Berliners, we
will also unbutton the whole Of
our European defense perimeter
Such an act would foreshadow
similar humiliating capitulations
all over the world. BY bowling to
Khrushchev on Berlin we would
make of America a second-rate
power.
What to do?
As of today there does no,
seem to be any choice between
standing firm and yielding: there
is no gray area for further ap
peasement. If President Eisen.
hover is right, and we know he
is. all basis for compromise has
been exhausted. We, as q people
have let our political mounte
banks take us down the Fabian

as was inevitable. we seem K

That was a harsh indictment

and courage to face our enemy
It is as if our leaders don't dare

and, when talking doesn't do the

Is there any hope? Yes, but

Water Reservoirs

THOSE who watch with interest the
development of things agricultural
report that thousands of farmers in the
United States have turned to the use of
farm ponds for irrigation, hatcheries
and occasionally, as supply for fire
fighting
The ponds often represent nothing
more than dammed-up creek or ma
tural or a man-made depression that
catches and stores water. Some are
small and relatively simple. Others
cover acres and have intricate spillways.
It is quite possible that many farm
ers have overlooked the possibility of
creating a water reservoir on their
land In some instances, it ought to be
possible to impound water and use it to
irrigate limited acreage
In all cases, if the pond is large
enough, the owner has chance to grow
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-10-06

a fish crop, which possesses recreation
al, as we'll as monetary value.
We donot know how many farms in
this area posses springs, hunning water
or depression that is suitable for the
creation of fish pond. However, we do
know that thousands of ponds have
come into being in the last few years
and that these ponds are valuable as
sets to the land on which they are locat-
ed.
Farmers, who have not invested in a
pond, should look into the possibilities
that exists on their land. The small
amount invested in the construction of
good farm pond might pay handsome
dividends in later years.

sion will somehow make Red China's
leaders law abiding people. Nothing
could be more remote possibility. Sec
ondly, many of the weak and new ma
tons are afraid to vote against her adj
mission, fearing reprisals.
All are being hypocritical, in saying
that the world agency needs to count
among its members the largest country
in the world populations and the old
est, if it is to succeed. Red China, nor
Russia, want the UN to succeed They
stand for just the opposite of the UN
charters goals. Things are difficult
now because of Russian obstruction;
they will be more difficult if China's
obstruction is added.
The UN is already on the road to the
same fate which overlook the League of
Nations. 1t has no police force to main
tain peace. 1t is fast falling under the
control of the appraisers and diplomats
who cannot present any firm or positive
or unified answer to military threats.
The United States pays the largest
share of UN costs. We are fast seeing
the number of new nations admitted
growing to unwieldy proportions. We
will soon find ourselves outvoted by
the appeasing neutralist bloc on every
issue. When that time comes, the twi-
light of the UN will have arrived, and
the final blow may we'll be the next war.
