Racks Up A Shameful Record Of Treasury Deficits By LYLE C. WILSON , UPI Start Writer WASHINGTON (UPD ' The U. S. government this, week will rack up a shameful record of 26 treasury deficits in 30 years. The 1959 fiscal year ends at midnight Tuesday. Thirty years ago this week the people of the United States were about to learn that their federal government had been frugally ad ministered thrombi another year. The people fnuld.ythave cared less because frugally was the way government should be and always had been administered. Back thero 30 years ago. how ever, there was no thought that the government soon would be spending itself into trouble like a shoreleave sailor. Such a thought would have been incredible in 1!29. There would have been public protest against it. . Low - taxes, treasury surpluses and substantial reductions of the national debt were what the vot ers long had demanded and re ceived from their public servants. The 26 deficit years in the past 30 would have been as unthink able back there in the 1920s as is incrclible now the thought that deficit spending may go on and on to do Irreparable damage to (he American way of life. Happening Now Maybe it can't happen here'. But, it is! A thing called creeping inflation. The citizens will he play ing a cruel practical . Joke on themselves if tiiey have no inter est this week in the splutter of 19.ri9 fiscal year-end figures from the U. S. Treasury. There has been, of course. In the past 12 months another round of inflationary deficit spending. T he Treasury has gone alxxit $13 billions more into Hie red and the 1 ' VVvViiI ' .

WO 3 5721 national debt is so swollen that it costs about $8 billion a year to pay the interest. The government has had to bor row despite collection of taxes in the multi-billions of dollars. For the total sum of those taxes dur ing 30 years there is no numeri cal comparison in this world, only in 'the astronomical statistics of outer space. All of this is dull stuff. Not so dull is this explosive fact: hTis deficit spending already has be gun to rattle and shake the U.S. economy. And, unless the trend Is corrected, the U. S. economy may be rattled and shaken beyond re pair. That would be the point of no return for the American way of life and the representative re publican form of government es tablished by the U. S. Constitution. ihe American economy is judged considerably in terms of the V. S. dollar. The U. S. dol lar, as of now, is not quite a 30 ccnt piece compared to its pur chasing power Just 20 years ago. It is worth today about 48 cents. The U. S. government is a going concern right enough, but going where? On the record of the past Jo years it is going toward great trouble if it continues to live be yond its Income. Trouble for the citizen will be with his pocket money and his cash in the bank. Consider a cit izen who put $1 in the bank back there in i)M and withdrew it to lay. He got back less than 50 cents wort:i of purchasing power. Vacation Trip Tips That Pay Making vacation plans? Here are a few hints to mak that "two weeks off with pay" rewarding for the family: . Don't plan a more expensive trip than you can afford. If a trip just increases your money Worries, it isn't going to bi vrrv relaxing. If your vacation plan is to visit either the husband's or wife's family, remember that only one of you is "going home." so try lo sec the one who isn't doesn't spend all of his time "visiting." If you are taking small child ren along, shorten your driving days so that the whole family is n't tired and irritable by nighifall See that every member of Ihe family gets to do something he especially wants to do. That can usually be manag-d with a little planning. If you are visiting a part of the country that is new to you read up on it. before your trip so that you'll have a better idea of what there is to do and see. While you're on vacation you can! do anything about your probl ins back home so don't talk about them or worry alwut them. "I'll worry about that when I gel home" Is the best kind of vaca tion attitude. Do all that you can to keep your di-alings with those who serve you ulong the way pleasant. If you are relaxed and casv to please you'll have more fun than you will by demanding an impossible stan dard of service. Don't rush or hurry even if you don't sec everything. If you come back from a vacation more tired than when you left horn-, you've wasted your tune.
