(UPO—lndiana State Auditor Albert Steinwedel said Thursday' night that Democrats swept the Nov. 4 election last year “because our opposisition was old and outmoded . . . because it went to the public feeding trough of the taxpayer once too often with the same old faces, the same old philosophy, and the same record of inactivity.” Steinwedel told 10th District county chairmen and vice chairmen that highway spending for the 1956-58 biennium was 166 million dollars more than the total spent in the 1950-52 biennium. “And yet,” .he said, “with all this tremendous amount of money, the taxpayers saw only 4.6 miles and five bridges completed in the big interstate highway system. The taxpayers were sick and tired of this extravagant waste of their money.” Steinwedel pointed out that the 15 per cent increase in Hoosier highway deaths “was much worse than the national average.” Democrats should have one common goal in the 1960 election, he said. “That goal is to throw the Republican rascals out of the Statehouse and in their place put a Democratic governor dedicated to a safe and sound fiscal and administrative policy,” he said. Steinwedel also blamed Governor Handley for proposing “the largest, fattest, biggest budget in the history of our proud debt-free

DeveMeaal BaaAiag: X Samuel 13:1-6. Osa Plus IM Lesson for April 5, 195$ u/ANE PLUS GOD” is a slogan '-'that might fit many a strong life. It is not only the secret of such men as were the prophets of old, not only for Saint Paul and Saint Augustine and Martin Luther, and other famous per- H|BBRH| sons admired by Jfe Christians. The reader should realize that this can be true of f every one who ; puts his trust in God. The price of admission to the goodly company of the saints is Dr - Foreman not cheap, but it is in every one’s reach: Faith. Layalty This was true of the famous Old Testament hero named Samuel. He was what in football language is called a triple-threat man. He was a priest, prophet, judge, military advisor; and tradition even says he was a writer, though of course he did not live long enough to have written the books that bear his name in the Old Testament. (They do not claim to have been written by him.) Before his time there had been no kings, and indeed not very much unity among the tribes of Israel Under his leadership the tribes were better united, and it would not be much exaggeration to say that Samuel "licked the tribee into shape”—the shape of a kingdom which he turned over to the first king-by-title, Saul. It is true that King Saul did not pay attention to Samuel’s wisdom; but all the same, after the old prophet was dead, Saul thought so much of his advice that he actually tried to conjure him out of his grave just to hear him again. What was the secret of Samuel’s power over Israel ? First of all it was a contagious loyalty to the one true God. It was a time when moat men worshipped many gods. Even the Israelites did this. Samuel ran the risk of being looked at as a crank or a fanatic, but such was his known loyalty to God that when he challenged Israel to throw away their idols, they did. There must have been something in hit life that made even those primitive men sure that one-plus-God meant greatness. Prayer Another marked feature ol Samuel’s life was his prayers. W< have on record the story of his ver} first prayer. It was not a begging request, not a “Gimme" prayer ai an. It was "Speak, Lord; for th} servant heareth." Even as a bo> he would rather hear what God hai to say than to pour out words before God. How seldom it is that people in praying give God an} chance to speak ! The Lord seldom has much to say to a man who insists on talking every minute Another feature of Samuel’i prayer life was that he prayed for others, even when those others had turned their backs on him. Samuel did his best to persuade the Israelites not to have a king. He knew 1 that "power corrupts" and he pre- ’ dieted accurately the injustice and tyranny which their future kings would show. But they wanted a king ah the same; yet in taking leave of them Samuel was not bitter. “Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you,” be said. WM«u Samuel was an example of what we nowadays call a circuit judge. He held court in three cities, including his home town. (This alone is remarkable.) He was not (on the one hand) the kind of religious person who retires to a cell and there spends hie life in prayer. He was a man of affairs, trusted by high and tow. He wae not (on the other hand) the kind of religions person who keeps his religion with his hymn«book—in church, where he takes it out and gets loud and happy over it once a week—only once. Samuel on the contrary was a man whose religious faith was the foundation of his wisdom. Religion did not lift him "out of this world;" R gave him insight into the problems of this world. His one-plua-God Mfe was not tor himself alone; God in life helped him to be a help to other*. Perhaps one strong reason why there are not more persons who deserve that “One-plus-God” description, is that too many of ue want to have God by the hand to servo ourselves rather than other*.

April Tough Month ! On Average Family By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—This is a tough month for the average man with a family, a beat - up jalopy and an income tax to pay. Taxes and the high cost of living cut up the average man iiito bits and pieces, like a jigsaw puzzle. The ’fax Foundation Inc., of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, did some sharp pencil figuring and came up with the bad news. The average $4,500-a-year man works 22 days a month, it reported, and must whack up his income, like this: —Seven days, for taxes. —Two days, for clothing. —Four days, house and furniture. —Two days, transportation, —One day, medical expense. —One day, recreation. —Four and one-half days, food. -One-half day—all that remains —for riotous living or whatever. Tripled In 19 Years The tax bite is larger than it should be because, for one solid reason, government officials are free with other people’s money. Other people’s money comes easy and goes the same way. It makes small difference whether the government official is operating in Washington for the federal government or back home among the neighbors. Tax Foundation calculators reported that in 19 years from 1940 through 1958, total state tax collections per person have tripled. The 1940 average was $25.44. The 1958 average was $87.95, a hike of $62.51 per head. That average man with a family and a jalopy took a beating in those years. The average of general sales taxes and gross receipts taxes which are passed directly to the consumer increased in 19 years from $3.83 to $16.61. Collections from motor fuels, motor vehicles and motor operator’s licenses were up from $9.41 to $25.52. Taxpayers are cast this year in the role usually assigned to them. They are lhe_.intexes.ted. but innocent by-standers who have the most at stake in a blazing political dispute about what shall be done with their money. Dispute on for Years President Eisenhower and congressional Democrats are the disputants. During the 1958 election campaign, Eisenhower tagged the Democrats as spenders—not all of them, he says now—but as spenders whosg easy way with the taxpayers’ money was sure to keep the Treasury in the red and to increase inflation. This kind of dispute between Congress and the White House 1 has been going on for years with ■ the taxpayer in the middle. Only 1 once in the past 25 years have a 1 president and a Congress pulled * together to cut government costs I and to cut taxes. That joint venJ ture took place in the first two years of he Eisenhower admm1 istration. Taxes came down and 1 so did government spending. v In the 1955 fiscal year Eisen- * hower spent $64,600,000,000. that 8 was the cheapest Eisenhower e year. Tax collections, however, were $4,200,000,000 short of paying the government’s bills. The U.S. dollar reacted to that relatively , good showing by reversing a f trend. It gained in value in 1955 e by .2 per cent. Not much but a V gain. g lt Modern Betsy Ross y WEST FRANKFORT, 111. (UPD y -Ben H.

blessings merely, they will fail to ind it. Only as the eyes are turned away from self can one truly seek or see God. Jesus used the word "blessed" in pointing out those in the kingdom, that we may know what they are; not to emphasize blessings conferred. We should be careful how we appeal to motives of self-interest in connection with entering upon the Christian life, else we may block the way which we seek to open; for the blessed life is an Uhselfish life. ", - Jesus became man for us, suffered for us, died for us, and was buried for us. On that first Easter morning He arose for us. As by • • Christ we died unto sin, so with Christ we have the wonderful consolation of a blessed resurrection. As we have just observed another glorious Easter let us enjoy a blessing by being in a place of worship every Sunday.
