Clarence Froome Or how to reduce your tax bill A here used to hr a saying bark in 1921 when I joined Union Oil. It was ‘The less govern ment, the better.’ We believed it, t(Xi. “Today it’s the other way ’round. People seem to think that more and more government can solve more and more of their problems. “They l<x)k to government for pensions, for unemployment insurance, for federal housing, i for medical aid—for all kinds of securities we used to depend on ourselves for. “Now there’s nothing wrong with taxes that pay for defense, and other necessities. But we’re kidding ourselves if we think L’ncle Sam is a rich relative with an inexhaustible supply of cash we can tap whenever we need it. “Fact is, government is more of a poor rela tion. It produces nothing. It pays no taxes. Anything you or anyone else gets from it first has to be taken away from you and somebody else. “So, obviously, the more you let the govern ment do for you, the more it’s going to cost you.” _:-T-.giPw. CLARENCE FROOME: "THE MORE YOU LET GOVERNMENT DO FOR YOU, THE MORE IT COSTS YOU.’* In 1921 when Clarence Froomc started with Union Oil as a machinist, 1 person in 15 worked for the government. Today (Clarence Froomc is now a Division Superintendent) 1 person in 8 is on government payroll. And Uncle Sam takes 11 times more money from you as taxes than he did in 1921. Admittedly, there’s a bigger job to be done today. But the danger of a constantly enlarging government goes far deeper than its cost to the citizen. Because each time you let the government do a job you should and can do better, you give up a part of your personal freedom^ * * * * YOUR comments are invited: Write: The Chairman of the Board, Union Oil Company, Union Oil Building, 617 It Ys< 7lh Street, Los Angeles 17, California Union Oil Company OF CALIFORNIA.
