When you pay your telephone bill each month, an important part of your money is passed on in taxes to the Federal Government and to state, county and city governments. Naturally, we expect to contribute our fair share of the coat of government . . . but because taxed now account for auch a largo portion of the coat of service, we foel we should report about them to you who, as telephone customers, have to pay them.

Stanton A Minnesota senator's proposal to deny tax credit to industries or businesses using advertising to complain of alleged infringement on free enterprise was criticized Monday night by News-Review Editor Charles V. Stanton. Stanton addressed the dinner meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. He spoke on the "Loaf of Freedom." The proposal is that of Senator II. II. Humphrey "There is an old saying to the effect that 'we never miss a slice from a loaf that has been cut,' " Stanton said' "Once we have be?un to nibble away at the loaf of freedom, it becomes progressively easier to take the next bite until soon the loaf is gone," the editor said. The government's side of any controversy is- aired not only through the press, he said, but by "thousands" of paid publicity men. "But now It is proposed that if business or industry wants to tell its story to the people, it is to be penalized. . . in other words it just isn't right to protect your self," he added. "If it becomes possible for the government to place a little pen ally on criticism, does it not then follow that the penalty may be increased?" he asked. "If the government's right to penalize those who do not agree with its acts or policies is once recognized and permitted to become estab lished, w here will it end? In Russia the end is a firing squad or a Si berian slave labor camp. "It can happen here."
