Deceased, by virtue ot an Order EDITORIALS <>P1*OSITES WON'T MIX The Yakima, Washington, Repub lic recently ran an editorial on the electric power situation In which it observed that the private utllites “are looking ahead and working to forestall a shortage of electricity but they are handicapped, especially in regions where the Federal govorn- ment Is active in the power genera- tlon field. They are unable to plan long-rango projects because of the ever-present possibility that the gov ernment will get deeper in the power business, makln Investments in new privately-owned utility plants and additions unattractive. Prior to the the government’s pnricipation in power business, utility company executives could, and did, plan 20 years ahead to meet demands. Now such planning Is out of the question.' There, in simple and understand able language, is the reason why power Is tight In some parts of the country and may become tighter still. It Is a perfect example of what hap pens when the government, with all wasteful process of building dupicat- latlon, goes into business. The power Industry has done a remarkable job In spite of political effort» to destroy It. But tho nation has lost an enor mous amount of new power facilities It It would otherwise have had. And . has witnessed ominous proof that socialism amt capitalism will not mix. The solution is that Congress take a firm stand to the effect that no new grandiose government power projects will be authorized; that the its advantages of tax-freedom, sub sidies. and immunity from state regu Ing lines with tho taxpayers' money be prohibited, and that, in regions where public plants now exist, they will cooperate honestly with the private Utilities to achieve the most efficient distribution of the electtric- Ity. Then we will have power deve lopment on a vast scale—und the money will come from private poc kets, not from the Treasury, Wo will ereat. new axable assets for all units of government—instead of destroy- Ing existing ones. And the consumer —domestic, agricultural, Industrial -—will get tho service at the lowest practical rate. The American Way XO SKIX Oi l- THE NOSE By George Peek The principal thing wrong with President Truman's propaal of a flat 140-a-person tax cut is that it will relievo millions of present day tax payers from the reaponaibillty of pay ing any taxes at all. The Bureau ot internal Revenue estimates that such a plan would eliminate between !' and 10 million Americana from the tax rolls- und that would be bud, MILL CAFE One day he asked me just what I had against the New Deal govern ment. My reply was that it didn’t seem to know the value of a dollar, that It was spending the taxpayers' money with tho profllgcay of drunk- en sailor. ■'Well, that's no skin off my nose,” he shot at me. “The government ain’t gettin' any of my money.’ A year or so w»nt by and then one day early in March, I made my usual daily visit to the cigar store, My friend didn’t seem to be his i usual cheery self. To my inquiry as to what was wrong he replied: “I Just came back from the Po« Office—‘had to go up there to buy a money order to pay income tax.” "What's so bad about that? How much did you have to kick in to Uncle Sam?" I asked. “82.60! ! ! What ty h------- is the government doing with OUR money, anyway.” Further inquiry elicited the infor mation that during the previous year he had received a raise in pay that lifted him into the income tax paying .brackets for the first time, Ills whole attitude toward govern- ment spendlng i had been changed — It was now skin off his nose, And now the President proposes to excuse 10 million taxpayers from paying tuxes—10 million Americans who now have a stake In government Ready-Mix CONCRETE NEW EQUIPMENT PROMPT SERVICE M.

It is the duty of every gainfully employed citizen to pay taxes. To use a poker term, he should not be allow ed to draw cards until he has thrown some chips into the pot. In other words, paying taxes is a part of the duty and responsibility of his citizen ship. No, Mr. Truman! Your proposal is unsound, economically and political ly. Would it not bo better to paro government expenses to the bone? By so doing, taxes could be lowered —ibut let's not take 10 million Ameri can citizens and put them into the unhappy position where like my old pal, the cigar clerk, they will be chanting, "What do I care about how the government spends. It ain't no skin off my nose.” No one likes to pay taxes. To date, however, no one, not even Henry Wallace, has worked out a magic formula . whereby a government can finance its operations without ci$l- It follows, therefore, lectlng taxes. that In i a Republic, all who enjoy the services of government, should pay their fair share of maintaining It.
