Living Within Our Means
It has been well said that no one escapes the impact A
inflation, and this poes tor political officeholders, as well as
everyone else. The lot of the successful political candidate
today is jetting increasingly difficult. The freewheeling ad
vocates of bigger and blgjjer government, whether they re
alize it or not, an? pulling their house down on their heads.
Call it a taxpayers' revolt or anything else you wish,
as inflation forces the cost of government up, political lead
ers must go to the people for more taxe- taxes that sooner
or later become uncoliectable. Then, the structure of govern
ment begins to collapse, and the ultimate bill for inflation
comes due with crushing force. In some countries at such
a time, officeholders are lucky to escape with their lives. In
n nation like the U. S.. where voters still retain the right to
"turn the rascals out", the big government spenders will
face nothing more painful than packing their suitcases.
Currently, their wise course would be to back up the
efforts of those who believe in government living within Its
means and curbing extravagant spending programs at every
opportunity.
Undermining the Family Farm
All kinds of ways are being studied to stem the migra
tion of people from rural areas to the cities. The National
Association of Wheat Growers has suggested a partial reme
dy "overhaul our inheritance and gift tax laws."
The Association declared that. "After more than 30 years
of inflation and 20 years of declining prices the family farm
concept has been radically changed and threatened . . . In
heritance taxes . . . impose a tax, in many cases, greater than
the ability of the farm to pay and support the family. Main
training the family farm has many political, economic and
social implications which affect the nation."
Family farms and private land ownership are the back
bone of U. S. agriculture. Ruthless application of the Inher
itance tax can easily become a form of confiscation of the
family farm. Taxation that forces redistribution of land has
no place in the United States. In other countries, this Is
called revolution.
The Right to Keep & Dear Arms
(From GUNS & AMMO Magazine)
The principles which form the foundation of the sports
man's life style are, and rightly so, subject to periodic review
and analysis. Every' thinking sportsman caught in the crush
of "life today" must, especially If he is a parent, compare
the relevance of the socialmoraleconomic factors which
have served him in the past with the demands which will be
made upon him and his children in the future. Any creeping
doubts that may occasionally arise as to the strengths of
the sportsman's principles are quickly dispelled by letters
such as the one received recently from Laird M. Wilcox of
Kansas City, Missouri: 'To GUNS & AMMO: Although I had
a good upbringing by fine parents, from 19G0 to 1966 I was
involved in what has become known as the revolutionary
'New Left' student movement. I was, during that period, a
member or leader in C.O.R.E., the A.CX.C, S.D.S., The Young
Socialist Alliance and the Emergency Civil Liberties Commit
tee. I was also the editor and publisher of one of the early
underground papers, 'The Kansas Free Press".
In 19G7 I went out into the cruel world of a Job respon
sibility and hard work. Needless to say, most of my former
left-wing ideas have changed since I left the hot-house at
mosphere of the campus. As a former student radical who
has had a couple of years to think things over, I think I can
understand the forces subverting our young people. It was a
rare individual in the radical student left who had been ac
tive in outdoor sportsmanship, especially hunting and marks
manship. More importantly, I knew all too well how important it
is to the radical left to disarm the law-abiding majority of
Americans. Gun control leading to eventual confiscation is
essential to the planned Communist takeover and is
the target date. 1 know this because I helped plan it!
Revolutionary radicals and their misguided 'liberal' co
horts work constantly, writing letters and circulating petitions
demanding gun registration. The 196S Gun Control Act was
4i good example of their effectiveness. Meanwhile, of course,
they are stockpiling explosives, guns and ammunition' for
their own use and the use of Black Revolutionary groups. On
top of tnls, their allies in the mass media (some of whom
were former friends of mine, by the way) exaggerate the
problem of firearms violence way out of proportion anl fab
ricate stories of violence by 'militant right-wingers.'
Before I fell into the 'New Left' trap as a college student,
I had been an avid sportsman along witii my father. On
top of this, 1 had a good appreciation of what the 'right to
keep and bear arms' meant and my father saw to it that I
learned good masculine values and the virtue of individual
ism. I teel that this background was primarily responsible
for my eventually seeing where the real truth was.
Nothing is more obvious to me now than the need for
freedom -loving sportsmen to become involved in the fight
against gun control. Gun confiscation would mean the death
of freedom in America. It is the final step needed for the
takeover. Moreover, patriots of all kinds are desperately
needed in the political arena. The radicals are winning by
default. Unless your readers start to speak up. write letters,
form groups and educate themselves, we will haw only our
selves to blame for the coming nightmare."
In newspaper interviews. Wilcox has been quoted as say
ing in his association with new left college students that
the "'were almost always the intellectually bright but emo
tionally immature." He quoted Kenneth Keniston, professor
of psychology at Yak- Medical School as saying "... there
is a remarkable similarity in the backgrounds of student rad
icals. A weak, somewhat passive father figure and a dom
inant, assertive mother is an extremely common phenomenon
in the lives Of these kids,'
These remarks are cf course seized upon and represented
by the anti-gun. liberal extremists a.s tourings of a need for
tyrannical, whip wielding, unthinking patriarchs who encour
age their sons on to brutal and senseless killings of creatures
of the forest. This obviously te as extreme and twisted as
most of their other views. However, ms further tacts continue
to become known, there would appear to be a lot cf basic
truth in the saying "Take A Boy Hunting And You Won't
Have To Go Huntutg For Him "

Still in the discussion stage
there is the possibility that
the possibility that some
wastes might be processed,

Some morning are
chilly for golfing, even t nine
Ai..k hut hv the time yuu or
fin t v (lOf 1 it is b little wurmer
and you have had u good time
playing golf. This last Tuesday
there were only four stalwart
"iris i.iown to uiav. Vi Lannnm,
Hawl Mahunev. Helen SchafiiLz
and Marie McQuarrie was the
foursome. We deciueu, since we
had nerve enough to get out
there on a cool morning and
play a round of goll, eaen one
should be awarded a golf ball.
Well worth the effort and fun
besides.
A barbecue has been planned
for Sunday, July 11. Goll Will
start at 4:00 p.m. and dinner
afterward. For the new members,
maybe a little explanation is
due on how these fun barbecues
work. On this first one, those
with their last name beginning
from A to L will bring a salad.
Those with their last name be
ginning from M to Z will bring
a dessert. This will be alternat
ed for the next barbecue, so you
won't be bringing salad or des
sert every time. AND ALSO
bring your own steak. If you
haven't noticed we have a large
barbecuer right next to the put
ting green. Everyone cooks their
own steak just the way they
want them rare or burned.
Bread, plates, silverware and
coffee are furnished by the
club. We play a two-ball four
some game or goll lirst, men
someone stays at tiie golf house
and has the coals ready for the
steaks when we are finished.
Come on down and see how
it is all done and what a good
time everyone has. This will be
our first barbecue of the year,
due to the flood and the weath
er, so should be a good one.
Your families are welcome, but
we do try to keep the little ones
off the golf course and have
them stay at the house. This
way, this makes a family affair
out of it, and babysitters aren't
necessary and you can all be !
together. Do come.
Some of the men have been
working on No! 2 and No. 3. You
will notice that No. 3 given to
going to be way around the ear
lier and over the rock bluff
which should be a challenge.
The work on No. 2 is cuing
along fine. The water nystem Jk
in on No. a, which is a rcut
addition to that fuirway.
Have you signed up yet to
take lessons from George Dun
car.? The writer found out Unit
his teaching does wme good
and with more practice will tw
very helpful. Think about it
arid improve your game.
