As the great documents--such as the Detlaratioc rt independence and the C ocst.tun on- - that act ompame; the Amencat Retaia- tix aid the founding al our nation indicated aL too weL, our forebears had nc intenLroc at escaping from joe tyranny only to deLver themselves once aga;:. to despotic govern- ment in the .New World. They believed x the stgiremacy of the mdrvidual Md x reLpaas. political ant ecaocatK freedom. They believed x property rights and x p> vermnett as the servant rather nar. the caster uf toe people »itt *Efm.te wisdom, they established a repre sentative form at government _s .ng every safeguard against tyranny they could dense For well over a century the basic tenets of the Asencan system remained vivid in the hearts and minds at .kineri- can citoens. Thet somewhere along the Line the American pin. os opt y became adulterated with new :ooceptt--catKepcs that embraced the prXosopty of looting to government as a leader rather that a servant. Witt ever-greater fre quency since the turn at the century, and particularly in the past thirty years or so, government was called upon to solve focal problems, and each such cecasic* meant delegatt^ more respotLSibility tc Wastuagtoa, the creation of new bureaucracies and new gevernment spendxg pry- grams. As the preoccupatix w;tt centralized authority grew, respect for private enterprise declined. The President and the Congress became aL things tc aL met and were expected to end depressrxs. provide perpetual abundance and, x general, shield the public from the inevitable storms ot human existence. It was, of course, an impossttiie jot. In striving to de the uEpossibJe, the Amenean g-.vem- ment became the greatest bureaucracy an Earth Water gate has been the result It provides a graptuc example of what happens whet people expect toe much gevemmen: and become too dependent upon the good iffices of p -.Uicians who are no longer servants. The year 1973 may very likely go down u history as a memorable landmark be cause it was the year that government was proven fallible to the people of the United States It could be the year that demonstrated the necessity of decentraLxiag federal autho rity, of returning to the I as « c priac^les of state's right- and of renewed fatt ia the scperioruy of the mdividual It is indeed possible that 1973 will become one of the lmpcrtant anniversaries x American history- H tave signaled the nation's turning away freon the long slide xtc dependence on the state and rule by omniscient, centralized authority. It could herald a resurgence of belief in the principles that undergird a naLocal life founded on x- dindual responsibility and freedom protected by repre sentative government and liberty under lav —Industrial Mews Review.
