About Our County An intangible of great value is the amount of pride that a community takes in itself, its past, and its future. How much do you and your children know about Adams county? Here are some questions which could well be used to broaden your knowledge of American history. What countries in the past have claimed the 336 square miles that now comprise Adams county? That was an easy one. But who was the first white man known to have tread on Adams county soil? And when did he arrive here? = When was the land that is now Adams coilnty first purchased from the Indians, and from what tribes was it purchased? * In what year was the survey of Adams county completed ? In what year was the first purchase of land in Adams county from the United States made? When was this area first called Adams county? When were the present county boundries determined? » When was the county organization authorized, and when was it finally established? What is that date that Decatur was chosen county seat? When was the first census made of the county, and what was the population of Decatur at that time? When did Decatur incorporate as a town? When did it become a city? Who was the first mayor of Decatur? What areas of the county were first settled, and what areas were settled last? What was the first township named in Adams county? The second? What is the average rainfall in Adams county? The average humidity? The average temperature? If you are an average, intelligent Adams county citizen, you probably won’t be able to answer more than half these questions! , The answers are available, but not in any of the previous histories of the county, or in any one book or pamphlet. It would require literally hundreds of hours of study for you to gather most Os the information. Happily, the county planning commission has authorized a basic study of the county which can be expected to answer all of these questions, and many more. This report is now in the primary planning stage, and the researchers from Metropolitan Planners, Inc., backed by an urban planning grant from the U. S. government, can be expected to do a professional job of helping us understand ourselves. Meanwhile, if you like, we can discuss these questions, and our sources of information, briefly in the next few editorials. Editorial written by Dick Heller T V PROGRAMS Central Daylight Time .

o— — o The People’s Voice This column is for the use of out readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good or discuss questions of interest. No articles will be published without signature of the author. O O Expresses Reaction To The Editor: It is my desire to take advantage of this opportunity to express my reaction to a corporate federal tax plan of one per cent as discussed by Dick Heller in the editorial column of the Decatur Daily Democrat in the issue of Nov. 13, 1963, which reminds me of a farmer who had 10 big, strapping, stalwart sons. He said, “each rainy day his boys would go into the bam and trade back and forth and make $lO apiece.”/ As I follow this line of thought it is quite impossible for me to reconcile myself to Mr. Heller’s position in this venture, because of another article previous to this insertion, at that time he was backing an sll billion tax reduction plan which would mean more jobs, because the money saved by the corporations would be used for research work and expansion of factories, in one article he is requesting a tax cut, and in another article he is requesting a tax increase. Now let’s analyze these factors briefly, one at a time. First, we will consider taxation in the United States, and we find there are over 175,000 governmental bodies levying taxes. If these 175,000 bodies have not been able to solve our tax to you think adding another tax bureau would be the answer? And furthermore, we should deeply consider that every dollar that goes to Washington, less than 50 cents is again redistributed back, to outlying districts, and in the second place, our national government is subsidizing thousands of public utilities because such corporations are already operating at a loss, pumping federal tax money into these corporations to insure their survivial and then turning around and taxing them to decrease local taxes? reminds me of the fellow who cut off his dog’s tail a piece at a time. He said, "doing it that way it would not hurt so bad.” But before the job was completed the dog died. “The power to tax is the ’ power to destroy.” I wonder if Mr. Heller realizes that there are now more than 1,000 direct and indirect taxes on a quart of milk, and furthermore, spending $0 billion to put a man on the moon, while at the same time we are unable to solve our parking problems, which reminds me the farther our tax money goes away from home the least we get out of it. Therefore, not enough of our citizens realize that our nation is already floundering on a rising river of red ink, as the total debt of the U. S. public, coprorate and private, is now over one trillion and 28 billion dollars, which amounts to $23,260 to each average family of four./'Why should we trust our federal government to solve our local tax problems when they have already made such a terrible mess out of the manipulation of their own obligations.” Therefore, the only pretended solution that our federal government has for its financial problems are increasing taxes and sinking deeper and deeper into dept, after spending $305 billion and raising the debt ceiling to $315 billion. I will openly challenge any one to show me where one problem has been solved either nationally or internationally. Now, if the federal government is unable to solve its own problems. I am candidly asking intelligent individuals why should we give this government jurisdiction over our local taxes by sponsoring a federal one per cent corporate tax? Now, Mr. Heller, you stated in your editorial, “tax the property and you tax the wealth, but this is not true today because many wealthly people in our community own no property at all, and many ordinary people, who earn large .amounts and spexi large amounts also own no property, and because of this situation, they create a local tax problem.” Now let me explode this statement by the following illustration: we own a duplex rental property in Decatur, our tenants do not own any real estate and yet they are paying real estate tax on property they do not own. because when we figure our overhead expenses we include the tax on this property as part of the rent paid. Therefore, they are paying both personal and real estala taxes, and let me kindly inform you that the ordinary people who earn large amounts and spend large amounts and own no property, that they are paying more than their share of tazes, because every dollar that they spend they are helping to pay real estate taxes on properties they do not even own. Pleas® Explain how this’ could Wate a local tax problem? And don’t forget if we are foolish enough to let Uncle Sam stick his foot through the door of our local tax problems-,' he will soon take over the whole program, and we will pay dearly for the resulting consequences. > I am firmly convinced that one ounce of the old fashioned horse sense, that our local administrators are injecting into our local tax plan, is worth more to the citizens of our community than a pound of college sheepskins in Washington. Robert K. Bovine.
