Today Is Deadline For Filing Returns

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International : In the first volume of his ‘ History of the English Speaking Feo pie," Sir Winston Churchill wrote of a period when high taxes and j other impositions were becoming ■ too hea”V for the people to bear. | “They were being taxed." Sir Winston wrote, "to the limit of; Iheir credulity." That is a rich phrase full of i meaning. Somehow, it seems to bear on a current matter of simi-' lar import to the U.S. common man. Now. ,700 years after the time of which Sir Winston wrote ' in such striking language, there is I raised in the United States the | question: Is the credulity of taxpayers approaching a limit in accepting explanations of why taxes must be so high? Will the taxpayers continue to believe the politicians who insist that spending j must go up. up, up? And. believing. will the taxpayers continue to vote like sheep for those politi-j

I'cians? How It Started I The questions are especially I current now because today is the deadline for filing individual ,in- : come tax returns And 1963 is the i 50th anniversary of the U.S. graduated income tax. President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, first collected it in 1913. The basic tax rate in 1913 was | 1 per cent. There was a 1 per cent 1 surtax on net income over $20,000 ' rising to 6 per cent on the net : over $500,000. Present rates begin at 20 per cent and go to 91 I per cent, a confiscatory’ schedule I in the upper brackets. U.S. taxpayers have accepted such rates for years, protesting sometimes but accomplishing nothing The politicians, meantime, discovered in the graduated I income tax an artesian flow of funds. It was there to tap and (they tapped the citizens! bankrolls las though they were conquering I princes levying on a captive peo-

ple. The late Harry L. Hopkins, a welfare worker who became a notable New Dealer, summed up in a few stark words the process by which the politicians accommodate the graduated income tax to their own ambition to remain in office and on the public payroll. "Spend and spend,” said Hopkins. "tax and tax and elect and elect!” Persuade the Citizen As simple as that. Persuade the heavily taxed citizen that someone else is paying the government bills. Then, come election day, claim the citizens’ votes because government has spent money in their towns or counties or states. Simple, and it worked! But to make it work, the politicians must convince the citizens that government costs cannot be reduced but always must go up. Thus, government cost $66 billion in 1956. $76 billion in 1960, $Bl billion in 1961. SB9 billion in 1962. President Kennedy expects to spend in the current fiscal year, 1963. $94 billion and $99 billion in fiscal 1964. A great many billions 'ere spread around the country in public works, in subsidies, and in various' services for the taxpayervoters. These categories of expenditures go up even faster than does national defense. It is a system whereunder the politicians legally buy the taxpayers’ votes with the taxpayers’ own money. The voter who falls for that kind of a shell game should be cheered on with Texas Guinan’s famous prohibition era salute; "Hello, suckers!” Hospital Admitted Master Anthony Mendoza, Decatur; John P. Kelley, Decatur; Mrs. Thomas Kitson, Decatur; Miss Carol Dellinger, Decatur; Miss Pamela Peter, Geneva; Donald Lutes, Decatur; Mrs. Robert Riegel, Decatur; Albert Tinkman, Monroe.

Easter Sunday Is Celebrated By Americans By United Press International Millions of Americans celebrated the Resurrection of Christ Sunday in joyous services and Easter finery. From the time dawn met the nation on the Atlantic Seaboard until long after the sun had passed its zenith in the West, gay and reverent Christians celebrated anew the triumph of life over death, of spring over winter, of Christ’s empty tomb over the burdensome cross. The brightness of the festive colors they wore in the season’s new fashions were matched only by the splendor of the perfect spring day and their spirits cheered by the renewal of an ageold truth. The solemn joy of the cry, “He is risen,” echoed through caverns at Stanton and Leasburg, Mo. It was heard at sunrise atop 11,300foot Ajax Mountain near Aspen, Colo. It resounded from a Navy barge in the harbor at Long Beach, Calif., and across the runways at New York’s Idlewild Airport. More than 8,000 worshippers climbed to a knoll overlooking the hills of southwestern New Hampshire to attend sunrise services near Rindge, N.H., at the Cathedral of the Pines. An estimated one million persons strolled along Fifth Ave. under clear skies and spring temperatures in New York's annual Easter parade. The dominant colors of the parade bonnets were light blue, pink and white. At Palm Beach, Fla., President Kennedy and his family attended a private mass in the oceanfront home of his ailing father and then posed for an official camera portrait. Serving as altar boy for the mass was the President’s younger brother. Sen- Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.

Fair And Warmer Weather In State By United Presi International Fair and wanmer weather spread over Indiana today, one day later than most Hoosiers would have Miked it. There was notmng wrong with the weather Sunday except it never warmed up quite as much as forecasters had indicated it would. As a result, fur stoles and light wraps were virtual necessities as toppings for spring finery in the Easter parade. Temperatures reached highs during the day ranging from 51 at South Bend to 66 at Evansville. These were about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than earlier outlooks. Nevertheless, sunny skies prevailed most of the day and the absence of rain was a cheering note. Forecasters called for highs today ranging from the 60s to the low 70s, lows tonight in the 40s, and highs Tuesday from the low to mid 70s. The warmer it gets, however, the closer we come to precipitation. The forecasts indicated the outgrowth of the Tuesday highs will be showers and possible thunderstorms Wednesday, turning cooler late in the day as the rain pattern runs its course. Frosty lows ranging from 27 at Fort Wayne and 29 at South Bend to 35 at Evansville were recorded this morning. The outlook for the next five days was for temperatures averaging about 10 to 12 degrees above normal and rain totaling one-half to three-fourths of an inch mostly in the latter half of the week. Westbound Traffic On 224 Is Rerouted Traffic traveling west on U. S. 224 from Decatur is being rerouted through Fort Wayne, as 224 to Markle has been closed. Bridges are being built in the Markle area, and it is believed that road construction is being done on Indiana 1, causing the temporary detour of 224 west of Decatur. Beautiful Basic Printed Pattern
