Dear Charley Charles Halleck, the Indiana Congressman who succeeded old Joe Martin as the minority leader of the House of Representatives but later gave way to Gerald Ford, is slow to learn. Once wasn’t enough for Charley. ■ Back in the early fall of 1962 Mr. Halleck and six other persons were arrested for hunting migratory water fowl over a baited area. He finally fought himself out of that charge but it took him all the way to the V. S. District Court. Now comek word that just last Jan. 6 Congressman Halleck was arrested again for hunting over a baited area. This time there was no I'i.vht left in him and he. and three companions, admitted their guilt

Save It For Uncle If you were Among the lucky people who took home a Christmas bonus check or some other holiday windfall, you probably know just how you're going to spend it. We don’t like to be a kill-joy, but, we think you should delay your plans and stash it away until April 15. The chances are you’re going to need it to-settle up with the Internal Revenue Service. There’s general agreement that most people are going to be unpleasantly surprised this year when they figure out that they have to pay I’ncle even more than they did last year. The reason is. you now have to pay for such things as higher benefits for the old folks at home, liberally voted by the politicians just before last election. So, lay it aside, or arrange to see that friendly man at the personal loan department of your bank. < >C course increases in social security and medicare are only two of the reasons why more and more of your salary is sliced off for federal, state and local taxes. Today, government is our biggest industry, by far, with 12.7 million Americans, one in six, on a government payroll. Obviously they don’t work for nothing and in the course of their activities they are spending almost twice the 97.2 billion that was spent by the government a decade ago.

and paid fines of $34.40 each. Rep. Halleck, the old campaigner that he is, should know that people don’t have much use for men who help write the laws of the land and then have the gall to deliberately break the very laws they write. Os course, there is the possibility, however faint, that some of Mr. Halleck’s “admirers” may have s&t a trap for him and then had him arrested in an attempt to discredit him for political reasons. W ater fowl aren't smart enough to resist the bait man sometimes uses to trick them. Congressmen should be. —The Goshen News

But that's only part of the picture. Once upon a time agriculture manufacturing. mining and railroading were the important activities in this country. They still are. but now they are being overshadowed by endeavors: highway construction, education, space projects, public building projects, etc. In all of the mammoth projects, federal, state and local governments are involved, to the tune of billions of dollars. Some of these are necessary expenditures, of course. Many others are not, or they are so fantastically wasteful of funds as to be idiotic. It’s easy to blame the politicians, but much of the fault lies with people who keep demanding things from the government — with the naive notion that someone else will pay for the extravagant things they want. This kind of thinking may get a community a high school with a parking lot big enough for a major shopping center, a stadium worthy of a college, and an auditorium that would permit the staging of a Broadway musical. But don’t think the guy in Keokuk>or New York City, (F Tulsa is pitying sor s it. In the long run, unless you’re on relief, you pay for it. Wait until April 15 and see! — Delphi Journal
