Another year has run its course
and we stand, filled anew with
hope, waiting for the bells to ring
in a bright and shining 1868.
Amid the joy of celebrating
New Years Eve, many will find
time to get a bit serious, to eval-
uate the year that will soon be
history, and to recall old-time
favorite happenings in previous
years.
And, what sort Of year will 1858
be? Who can say for sure? Each
New Year starts out pretty much
the same. Those who were I'M
happy with 1862 forsee a change
for the better; those who did well
expect things to become even
better.
We can, to a great extent, eX-
ercise control over much of what
may happen to us in the year
ahead We can do more to "get
ahead by working harder, by ap-
plying ourselves to the tasks at
hand. We should do better for
ourselves during 1868. After all,
we are a year older-and have
learned something from our ex-
perienceS during 1862.

Only One Way To Stop
Big Government

As Congress opens it 1863 ses-
sion, ono fact is certain: The poor
taxpayer is in for another beating!
Despite promises of tax reform.
only John @ Public can pay the
bills for governments wild spend
ing sprees.
While bureaucrats and pressure
groups propose pet projects for
bigger and bigger government the
taxpayer feels helpless, unable to
cope with government that has
grown too large to handle.
At the root of this problem is
the concept of limited govern
ment. Once we had system
wherein the government could
only enact laws or programs that
were authorized by the Constitu-
ton. To 60 beyond that limitation
required a Constitutional amend
ment-which, of course. is much
harder than just passing law by
simple majority
Under this system. the taxpayer
could devote himself to his own
business-secure in the knowledge
that his government could only
operate within a specific frame
work. There was no danger that
Congress might suddenly legislate
free speech out of eXistence-or
that his family might be taxed
500 per year to support foreign
relationships.
Now. however. all restraints on
| government have been removed.
( With 500 billion budgets. the
government operates business in
competition with its own citizens
and compels them to buy its in
surance and pay for its charities.
Anything goes" because any
proposal that musters a majority
! in Congress-or appeals to a
bureaucrat-can become the law
of the land Presidents, Congress-
men, bureaucrats, and Supreme
Court justices all strain to acquire
new powers to promote their own
brands of social reform.
With all limitations taken off gov
eminent, no area is immune from
the rulers thirst for power-medi-
cine, education. and even charity,
become battlefields for new tests
Of strength. No wonder the tax
payer feels helpless. He's told to
/ write his Congressman and express
his views on these new proposals
/ democracy in action" But how can
an individual taxpayer possibly
keep up with the thousands of bills
considered every year? He has a
family to provide fOr-and he must
earn enough to send over $1,000
every year, on the average. to the
federal government. is it really his
job to be a legislative expert?
Obviously not. Our only salvation
lies in once again claiming down
government to certain specific Con-
stitutional functions. The Constitu-
ton is still our contact with gov
eminent ever enacted by man. 1t

and effect.
The need today is to give that
force and effect to the Constitution
and to remove from government
the unconstitutional powers it has
already taken from us.
Only then will the taxpayer be
safe from the designs Of big-spend-
ing bureaucrats. Only then can the
individual citizen pursue his own
future. secure in the knowledge
that his freedoms are safe.

The course Of the nation and the
world during 1858 is something
else. National prosperity and
world peace: where do we stand
on these matters? In both in
stances, can we say, ut has been
better, and it has been worse?"
So what, someone might note:
'What can the guy on the street
do about national prosperity and
world peace, anyhow"
The answer: plenty.
Just for a moment, let us reflect
upon the type Of world we would
realize in 1868 if every human
being in the world resolved at the
magic stroke of twelve to try to

If every American worked for

wouldn't 1858 be a good year in
which to get started?

This year, so far, the conse-

that it is better to deal in left

the consequences may be to a

Our woman, who Just pos

a truly prodigious record of
success as compared with those
who have used their magma
tons to create new drama pro-
auctions. Especially musicals,
which are her speciality.
There was "Oklahoma!" to
cite a classic example, made
from the remains of a not toe
successful play called Green

deeply into background, there

as a film.
