GREATEST TAX DEMAND COMING FOR UNITED STATES Brook. Ind.. Feb. 15. —“We are about to face the greatest tax demand in the nation’s history, or a resumption of deficit-spending by the Government.” Senator Homer E. Capehart. (R. Ind.), declared here today in a Lincoln i Day address. . . . Senator Capehart declared that “the Administration's failure to recognize the need for governmental economy in the face of an impending drop tn the national income is threatening to send the nation’s tax bill beyond the saru rat ton point.” He continued: . “We cannot maintain an overall government cost in this country of more than >50.000,*00.000 which will be your tax bill for fiscal 104 9. unless we maintain a national income of at least >250.000.000.000. • "In to the federal, state and local tax you have been ‘paying, the federal administration is planning other spending provisions on which the ultimate cost is beyond estimate. “If our national income falls below the >225.000.000.000 of 1948, we cannot meet the government costs without raising taxes anl if it falls too far below that figure’we cannot raise the| tax high enough to collect suffi-| cient funds because we will eventually reach the point where you cannot get blood out of a turnip j “The new deal planners have been treating our economy like a

pot of boiling mush, trying to hold down one bubble at a time. “A few months ago you heard Mr. Truman talking out of both sides of his nouth. To the farmers he wanted prices to stay .high. To the city folks he wanted the right to bring the prices down. “I predict that in the next few weeks he will again talk out of both sides of his the same words not be coming out. “He will be doing all within his power to keep prices up so he can keep your taxes up and so he can keep his spending up. “I am confident that the cost of government, including our aid to restore Western Europe to a useful status, can be reduced by 20 per cent by the application of sound American principles. That would do more to stabilize our economy than all the synthetic spending the White House planners can think of.” HOPE TO THWART MILK PRICE COLLAPSE Indianapolis. Ind.. Feb. 11—A three-day national dairy industry rally will be held in Chicago. Feb. 28 to March 2. in an effort to stem the, tide of declining prices for dairy products at the farm level. The meeting, sponsored by the American Dairy Association. will be attended by Oscar Swank, district the ADA with offices in Indianapolis. The question facing both the consumes* an d the agricultural producer \s: How much Jonger can the downward trend in price of milk contmue without upsetting the nation economy? Already the cow population is decreasing appreciably, with a still more marked cut in milk production predicted next season. The relationship between the price of milk paid the producer and the continued high prices he has to pay for labor and materials he must buy is not encouraging -to the dairy farmer. In the “roaring twenties” when butter was 52 cents a pound, the average hourly industrial wage was 54 cents. Today with butter at 75 cents, and the industrial hourly wage pay at >1.32. the dairy farmer’s return is inadequate. In fact if the dairy farmer gave the .milk to fill a quart bottle selling at 12 cents, it would still cost the consumer 14 and threefourths cents. Several sectional and regional conferences have been held in an effart to clarify the confusion and steer agricultural production away from chaos that always results from price inequities. . —. On “Waste Ami Extravagance” I There was a section entitled “Republican Waste and Etravagance” in the 1948 Democratic state platform. It read in full. “The Republican administration of Governor Ralph E. Gates has been the most expensive administration in the history of our state. The attention of the people of i Indiana is called to the fact that the bi-ennial budget for the last two years of Governor Henry F Scfcricker’s administration amounted to approximately >82.000.000. The bi-ennial budget for the last two years of Governor Ralph F. Gates' administration calls for apporximately >179,000,000.”. The attention of the people of Indiana is now called to an additional fact. The bi-ennial budget of Governor Henry F. Schricker’s administration is estimated at >2*5,554.00* plus >77.000,000 of statutory financial obligations, plus whatever is paid on the >150.000,000 veterans' bonus, if anything. Ho* the world changes between June and January! Undoubtedly in the Republican platform of 1952 there will be a section entitled “Democratic Waste and Extravagance,” It will start off by saying. "The Democratic administration of Governor Henry F. Sch richer has been the most expensive administration in the history of our state?* . • Ain’t politics grand? — The Indianapolis Star. • "Vhat’s new in outboards? Bow fast do they go?

their attack and were leading 104 at the end of the initial stanza. The Yellow jackets began converting on their free tosses, in the second quarter and chopped down the Red Raiders lead. The half ended in a 20-20 deadlock. Up to this point the Yellowjackets did not have a personal foul recorded against them. It was late in the third quarter before a personal foul was called on a Syracuse player. There were only eight fouls called on the team as a whole throughout the entire game. ' In the second half the Yellowjackets continued attack, but could not build up much of a lead until about midway in the final quarter. . Spearheading the Syracuse attack was Charles Dietrick, with IS points for the evening. Also greatly contributing were Meek and Kroh with 15 and 12 respectively. West led the Red Raiders with 12 tallies. SYR.YCI SE.

from where I sit... Ay Joe Marsh How's Your Listening Time?

Buck Howell and I were in Baleville last week. Dropped in at Bob’s diner where some friends were sitting around talking about whether to sell hogs now or wait Buck plunges right into the discussion. He’s lecturing away when suddenly they all stand up and start stomping their feet like it was an Indian war dance. I’m flabbergasted., But Buck only looked sheepish and explains, **Guess I was talking again, when I shou!d-of been listening. When a person’s tallciitff time! gets out of

line with his listening time around here, the gang reminds him by standing up and stomping.” From where I sit, that’s a good system. Everyone has a right to his opinions—but others have a right to theirs, too—whether it’s deciding between to sell or not to sell, apple pie or cherry pie, or a glass of mellow beer or cider. Life’s more interesting that way, and hang it if you don’t sometimes learn something! -j ..." a ’ ' ’’ ' r States Brewers Foundation
