Two Ring Circus"

Other questions: Sale of liquor-by-
the-drink, controlled by local option;
decennial redistricting of representa-
ton; universal daylight saving time,
etc, can consumed much time, but are
comparatively insignificant in the over
all fiscal picture.
President Kennedy will submit bud

in history Of the Republic, and promises
theoretical balance. Unfortunately the
federal budget is merely budapest
Congress passes budgetary items as it
progresses, and no one ever knows what
the budget is until the end/of the fiscal
period.
Senator Harry F. Byrd has advocat-
ed budgetary system similar to Vir-
ginia's for the past thirty or more years,
without complete success. AS chairman
of the Finance Committee, he has been
able to apply some brakes to federal
spending.
The federal government is too far re-
moved from the people, and the aver
age citizen comprehends little of of the
stupendous task of operating govern
ment such as the United States About
all the average citizen really knows is
that taxes are eating further into his
earnings
Free-spending on the national level
will continue unless the grass-root
citizens begin to put pressure on the
Congressman to conserve rather than
the present policy of running to the
congressman for more and more federal
service in the various fields. We cannot
blame the congressman entirely -
their masters are the people, if indeed
they have any masters. We believe we
can discern a more conservative trend
of thinking among the people which may
shape national policies if it continues to
grow.
Other national problems parallel
state problems, such as, medical care
for the aged, aid to public schools, aid
to higher education, retirement pen
sions, unemployment compensations,
etc, to mention only few.
International problems overshadow
domestic demands on the national level.
Possibly the impending session of the
Congress may bring more realistic pol
icies in these directions. May we hope
so.
1862 will be an important in world
history. An informed public is the obi
cation of all news media for only
through an informed public can our
system of government succeed.

Babs0n Discusses Planning For 1862

BABSON PARK, MASS. Jan.
Few people seem to realize
that it is during a time Of pros
perity that plans should be made
for possible reverses later on.
Even though recovery is rolling
along, stop and ask yourself a
few questions. If you lost your
job tomorrow, how much would
you and your family suffer fl
nancially? Are you showed und-
er by installament payments?
Would a serious illness leave you
strapped? Have you borrowed
on your life insurance?
Are You Overwhelmed?
A youn G acquaintance of
mine, a man about thirty years
old. was recently laid off by a
small company for which he had
worked faithfully for eight years.
He had been making 500 a
week before taxes. but his take
home pay after federal levies was
only $500. not including state
taxes. And his monthly commit
ments are: so for mortgage,
interest. and real estate tax; $50
on 2 1860 car: $21 on a food
freezer: $3.50 on wall-to-wall
carpeting: $50 on a go-now pay
later trip to the west Indies with
his wife; and $3.50 on a new col

salary coming in-he has depart

several hundred dollars. $l60

VIRGINIA Legislature convenes We'd
nesday in Richmond and Congress
convenes in Washington The next 60
days will be like two-ring circus -
one will not know which ring to watch
as the ''acrobats" and the high tight
rope walkers" perform
Finances will take a first place in
each assembly. Virginia legislators will
seek new revenues to balance budget
for public services supposedly in de-
mand by the people. Somewhere along
the way the people must realize that
they are also the taxpayers and if they
demand more and more services from
the public tax funds they, as taxpay-
ers, must submit to higher taxes.
Incoming Governor Albertis Harrison
has indicated that he will support
commission of legislators and business
men to study the States tax structure
and make recommendations Obviously
this commission, if it is to do a thorough
job, will not be able to report at this
session. A special session possibly in
1868 for this purpose alone is posi-
biiity, or report at the regular session
in 1864 may be the timetable. At any
rate complete study of Virginias fis-
cal affairs is in the making.
Retiring Governor J. Lindsay AL
mond, Jr., has stated publicly that he
will submit a balanced budget based on
present fiscal policy. He will not re-
commend a sales tax. However, the sale
tax advocates in the legislature will
most likely plug for the sales tax. We
would believe that any changes in the
AK structure would await the report
of Governor-elect Harrison's. special
committee.
Needs and demands for capital funds
in the States educational and mental
institutions increase by leaps and
bounds, and funds for operation natu-
rally follow.
Virginia has operated on a sound
basic fiscal policy with balanced bud
get, but localities caught in a stipend
GUS shift from rural to urban areas,
find themselves in financial difficulty
Virginia practically free of bonded
debt, comprises urban subdivisions hard
put to meet increasing demands. This
balance must be adjusted unless the
State is to take over some of the financi-
al burdens of the subdivisions, which
will mean additional State control and
less local control - strong centralized
government VS. local government, the
perennial question in all governmental
trends.

Third World Force Energies

the One Horse Shay.
Nor Is that al the good news
the New Year brings. There is
in the process Of formation
SO my information has it q
third world force which holds
greater promise than anything
since the war.
A coalition Of European ma
tons. fed up with the appease-
rnent policies Of The United
States and Great Britain. are
ahgning themselves, four square.
IN opposition to Communism.
These nations are France. Hol-
land. Portugal. Spain and
Belgium.
# you will check that list
against world events of the past
IS years you will recall. that
! each Of the countries named has
been severely injured by Amer
lean yacillation and by British
selfishness. We took the heart
out Of France and Holland some
years ago in failing to support
their fight to retain their over
seas possessions and recently we
have done the same to Portugal.
We pushed Belgium out the
Congo with lamentable results
and for more than 20 years have
treated Spain's Franco as some
sort Of Paliah.
| Now the denouement.
And it makes my heart sing.
For if these nations pull away
from the UN it will die the day
they do And if Portugal threat
ems to refuse extention Of the
contract that grants us air bases
in The Azores Git expires in
1862. The NATO alliance will
come unbuttoned. And the reac-
ton in this country to that sort
Of exposure will inevitably result
| in the election of a Conservative
| president and a Concentrations
congress.
How is that for promise of a
bright new world?
We should not discount the
potential this evolving coalition
holds. nor the courage of those
who are putting it together.
Particularly should we tip our
hats to Charles ,deGaulle, old
flint-face himself. And to Prime
Minister Antonio Salazar Of
Portugal and to SPANS Ell
Caudillo. These men just don t
push.

such an ententesa6cordial will

Charlie has The Bomb and like
the old Colt As of our frontier
days, The Bomb is an equalizer.
No nation could intimidate them.
Whether West Germany, to-
day. has committed itself even
tentatively to joining this group
is speculation. am find nothing
on the wires that leads me to
believe so. Yet, it is natural:
Willy old Chancellor Adenauer

footsie for years. AS a result,
