CAPITOL O COMMENTS k bT Um US. Senator Vane* .< frRWggSC I HARTKE

More Taxes? No!

President Johnson in his State of the Union address asked Congress to increase taxes for the vast majority of American citizens. How will we in Congress answer him? > If this tax were purely a matter of calling on the American people to sacrifice in order to support our boys who are fighting in Viet Nam. my vote would be an unqualified yes. .Although I have questioned and criticized the administration on its handling of diplomatic, political ami financial aspects of the war, I have always given full support to all Presidential requests for money to provide our troops with the best available equipment. But this tax proposal is not alone in response to Viet Nam. It comes on the heels of heavy domestic and foreign expenditures and supposedly as a check on inflation. In truth, however, inflation already has largely been checked. We should, in fact, be concerned now that we do not go too far .in restraining our economy and push ourselves into a recession, as happened in 1958. A week before the President’s State of the Union message, I indicated in a public statement that “there is no necessity at this time for a general increase in personal and corporate income taxes for federal revenue or for a check on inflation.’’ Only if there were a “dramatic upturn in Viet Nam war expenditures” would I reconsider. In asking tor this tax, President Johnson made no forecast of such a major increase in Viet Nam spending; and therefore I remain opposed to making new demands on the pocketbooks of the American people and possibly bringing about unemployment and stagnation in our economy. Changing the tax policy can have, as we know, important effects on the growth or decline of our economy. In 1962, for example, when we wanted to get things moving, Congress cut taxes, thereby providing the consumer and investor with more money to spend for automobiles, clothing, homes, or to invest in construction of office buildings, expansion of factories, highway construction and improvement. This increased buying and investing led to economic growth, that many had predicted was unobtainable. With growth, of course, came new levels of prosperity. In 1962, critics of the plan said that our Spears of Ligonier will be Sunday dinner guests of Mrs. Harley K. Spears at LaGrange. Mrs. Graydon Blue and daughters and Mrs. Maurice Blue were in South Bend Friday evening to attend a bridal shower for Miss Terry Blue, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Adrian Blue of Bremen. Ligonier Jay-Cee-Ettes « recently held their January meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles Chafee with Mrs. Jack Garvin as co-hostess.

government could not afford the loss of revenue. But in fact reducing taxes meant an increase in revenue in the long run. While this sounded shocking in 1962, it is wholly accepted today. The reason is simple: the tax decrease led to greater employment and larger payrolls which translated to more tax revenue for the government. Important for today is the fact that this principle also wrks in reverse. If we increase taxes we will doubtless cause a decrease in consumer spending and investment. A decline, if not a recession, will follow; and government revenue will soon likewise suffer. If there is need for additional funds to maintain present Viet Nam expenditures, we would be better off to obtain them through selective cutting and pruning erf government spending. My answer to a tax increase at this time is no.

PRECIOUS RESOURCES If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends and nature; and the greatest of these, at least the most constant and always at hand, is nature. —John Burroughs. *

CHARACTER Character is not the product of soft and easy living, nor is it developed by a determination to get all one can regardless of the means or the consequences. Character grows out of an awareness of the difference between right and wrong. It develops from a desire to embrace the right and avoid the wrong. It matures in the making of delibsrate choices between doing what one ought to do and what one may prefer to do, especially when the former requires some sacrifice and hardship. It enables us to resist every kind of pressure when expediency clashes with principles, and when short-sighted people clamor today for something they will condemn tomorrow.

Speakers and preachers could hold their audiences for a much longer time than wxxild be attempted today, because there wasn’t much else to do. How much fact and how much fiction there is in the stories of the rowdyism of some rural audiences is hard to guage, but there certainly is an element of humor in them. Marie Twain, a popular lecturer of the time, got off the train in a small town to find that his talk was poorly billed. Wondering if very many people knew’ about it, he stopped at the country store to feel i out the proprietor. ! “Good evening, friend,” he said pleasantly, “Is there any entertainment in town tonight that would help a stranger while away the evening?” The storekeeper straightened up from behind the counter and wiped the pickle brine off his hands. “I expect there’s going to be a lecture tonight.” lie said. "I’ve been selling eggs all day.” Another tale concerns a comedian who traveled the small-town circuit. Going into the only store the afternoon before the performance, he bought up all the tomatoes, cabbages, and other produce of a shape and size that could be easily thrown. The storekeeper laughingly remarked. “You must be going to see the comedian at the school auditorium tonight.” “Sir.” replied the customer with a furtive glance but the window. “I am the comedian.”

HEALTH MS PSYCHIC SHOCK THERE is more than one kind of shock. The term usually refers to that acute state of circulatory failure resulting from an injury. / But there is also psychic shock, a shock-like condition produced by strong emotion. Adults who suddenlyjpse their sight go into a sort of shock period which may last for days or weeks. During this period they are disoriented, suffer a kind of psychological numbness and cannot think or feel. « This may be a protective phase for the suddenly blinded person for he needs to mobilize his forces and reorganize and coordinate his inner strength. After the initial shock, the suddenly blinded person begins to recover and then usually goes into a period of depression, which also seems to be a neces- • sary part of his reorganization. After passing these two phases, the person is likely to reach a point of recognition and acceptance. Ahead is a ->ng period of readjustment' and iehabilita‘ion. Much of the future of the suddenly blinded adult depends on his inner strength, his intellectual endowment, his physical skills and the quality of the assistance given him from the outside. By their astounding accomplishments, the blind have proven that a good*'and happy life can be had by those robbed suddenly of 'a sighted way of life.
