UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says:

DEAR MISTER EDITOR: The things I see in the papers ever day sometimes puts me to wondering if our country is growing or. just swelling. Things that grows gits stronger and them that swells most of the time gits bigger and bigger till they bust. We’re gitting bigger and they is no doubt about that. I see where our population has increased 20 per cent in the last 20 year. But the cost of federal, state and local taxes has increased 591 per cent during the same time. Is that growing or swelling? And Bug Hookum was bragging at the country store Saturday night that he now owes more’n $3 ,000. He was as proud of it as a kid with anew speckled puppy. It used to be that when a feller owed anything he f considered it bad and didn’t want nobody to know about it. What a feller owed was discussed in his own house with the doors locked. Now everbody is bragging about how much they owes. And I see by the papers where the Federal Reserve Board says that today one out of ever three bills is a S2O and that half the paper money in circulation in this country is in S2O and SIOO bills. Me and you, Mister Editor, was raised up on the $1 bill and you’ll, have to admit that things is gitting bigger. Senator Byrd of Virginia said the other day that the Congress is now spending S4O million dollars ever four and one-half hours around the clock, or about $150,-

000 a minute fer ever minute in the calender year. I figger we’re swelling a heap faster than we’re growing in the spending department. And the way they give it out from Washington, you’d never suspect it was costing the folks back home a dime. Fer instant, I saw the other day where the Navy paid the Army $63,400 fer the use of a Army dredge boat fer some sort of operation. The Navy pays the Army. Git it, Mister Editor? It didn’t cost the taxpayers nothing. The Navy just paid the Army. I worry a heap about this growing or swelling business. My old lady says if I’d worry more about keeping my fences patched up and looking after things here at home and less about what’s going on in Washington I’d git along better. I reckon that would do it alright, just like putting red pepper in your eyes is apt to cure your toothache. Seems like a heap of things in this country today is crazy and upside down. I saw where a feller in Maryland, charged with escaping from jail, told the judge they was a hole in the ceding and he fell through it accidental. If I’d been the judge I’d turned him loose. It fits. Yours truly, Uncle Eb Our nation’s tallest lighthouse is located at Cape Hatteras, N. Carolina, 191 feet tall.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 Read Romans 8:35—39 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3.) Years ago a marvelously skilful craftsman worked in a tiny shop in one of our cities. He specialized in the restoration of what appeared to be hopelessly broken things. When a patron brought a ruined vase, a shattered statue, a shivered glass to him, there was no hope until it was entrusted to his care! With loving, patient care, he would slowly fit together the fragments. By his clever skill, the broken thing would be made whole again*. Years of the most patient, careful, persistent toil had gone into of his skill. No other possessed it; it wAs this man’s alone! \ The of God is like that! It is God’s skill, and no human has ever acquired it —and never will! As long as our broken and sinful lives are left in our hands, they remain broken. Only by placing them in God’s hands can they be restored. PRAYER: Eternal God, nearer to us than breathing and closer than hands and feet, we commend ourselves anew to Thy keeping. In all the experiences of life, we pray for Thy continuing favor and * the consciousness of Thy presence; through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY The secret of having God’s comfort is in placing things in His hands. Leonard S. Clark (Idaho)

EDITORIAL STORM W A RN'NGS GO UP ON GASOLINE TAXES “There seems to be a point beyond which peonle simply will not be taxed, and when a tax reaches that point it becomes self-defeating.” That statement comes from an article in a magazine published by the Sun Oil Company. It is substantiated by all manner of historical examples. ? In 18thcentury France a tax was placed on fireplaces so people stopped building fireplaces. In 17th century Holland a house tax was based on the number and sizes of windows—so windowless houses became the vogue. England’s Parliament once imposed a tax on horses so farmers took to riding cows. The present outstanding example would seem to be the gasoline tax, which now totals about 50 per cent of the retail value of the fuel —a percentage which isn’t borne by even such luxuries as mink coats and diamonds, much less any other 1 absolute necessity. As the article puts the case, “While it is too early to reach any categorial conclusions, we wonder if the storm warnings aren’t going up, whether motorists haven’t become fed up paying $3 for $2 worth of gasoline and whether we aren’t now facing the first signs of a consumer revolt which could mean that any further increases in gasoline taxes actually will bring even less revenues.” Th signs are certainly there. According to the New York Times, if the trend to smaller cars continues at the present rate, gasoline tax revenues by 1964 will be $548 million below what they could ordinarily be expected to total. Here’s a case of tax extremism in which everyone is the loser. He who has everything and God, has no more than he who has God and nothing else. He who has everything and not God, has nothing. 1
