STRESSES AMERICAN FREEDOM IN FARM BUREAU spec

torical economy, then we must ar
cept the statement Of the President
in his inaugural address, ASK not
what your country can do for Won
but rather, what you can do for
your country" and reject his leg
islative program by electing men
who will fight him tooth and nail
every time he tries to encrOach on
our freedoms. We must 60 back
and reacquire the individualism
and integrity of our founding
fathers and the men and women
who homesteaded N. f. Montana.
We must abandon the false god Of
Government handout and paterna-
lism and rely upon the sweat Of
our brows, our own integrity, our
own responsibility. / don't mean
that we should 60 back to the 2O's
and 30's but back to those ideals.
We must rededicate ourselves to
the cause of freedom and the sys-
tenn of free enterprise. If we be-
lieve in tive must practice il.
There is too much hypocrisy and
dishonesty in our country today.
If it's bad for the other fellow 10
get those government handouts,
then we too had better get our
greedy hands out of the public
trough. If we are going to remain
free, we must take an active in
terest in Government. We must
remember that government in its
own right has nothing to give.
What il gives it must first take.
We must be more interested in
keeping our freedom than seek
ing security. We must be more
interested in what Government is
doing to US, than for US. We need
to remember that government
IN its own right has nothing TO
give. What it gives it must first
take. We must be more interested
IN keeping our freedom than seek
ing security. We must be more
interested in what Government is
doing TO us, than for US. We need
to remember that government can
not, nor should it, guarantee US a
price or give US anything without
controls and without taking a lit
tie more freedom from US.
You cannot leglslate the oor
into freedom and wealth by legis-
lating the rich out Of it and what
one man receives and does not
work for, another man must work
for and not receive.
We must remember that govern-
ment can never guarantee US a
standard of living, but that bic
government spending, accompan-
led by initiation and deficit spend
ing, has the power to destroy the
standard of living which we now
enjoy.
And finally, that the free-enter-
prise system and the profit motive
mas fostered the greatest progress
IN this nation the world has ever
known while the record of social
ism and communism has been one
Of m%ediocrity, corruption, poverty
and terrorism.
In a few weeks you will be go
ing TO the polls to cast your vote
as Americans. You can be thank
full that you live in a country
where you still have that privi-
lege. You will be voting for men
and women who will represent
you in government, and who will
exert a great influence on your
lives and the lives Of your child
rem. You can vote for those who
believe in the free enterprise, cap
ltalistic system, or you can vote
for those who favor more govern
ment handouts and loss of liber-
ties under the false cloak Of secu-
rity.
What you have to gain by TAX
ing a vital interest in politics and
government is the right to run
your own affairs and the
tee that your children and grand
children can inherit a free nation.
Failure to take action can only
mean continued devaluation of
our dollar, additional government
tai domination, continued deficit
spending and finally, state social
ism. Circle Banner-CPaid Adv.)
