WORK Tt seems that no amount of criticism ean budge President Truman from his de- termination to hike the nation’s tax bill by $4 billion for the coming fiscal year. News- papers, particularly the big ones, are tak- ing him to task for his apparent attitude to impose more taxes instead of trimming down on expenditures. Among the latest opponents to the President’s -program to get more money from the American people are the policy leaders of the Committee for Economic Development. They. maintain that tax in- EE Sere penmtuttons | creases should be avoided and_ point out *» #M be | that $2 billion $100 million can be lopped froth which off proposed federat spending without win andl Invite ate interfering in the least with efficiency, et pobiich anonymous “In the present situation the only ac- ———————_ | ceptable course is to reduce expenditures,” the committee asserted, “Higher taxation to support higher spending is particularly risky at this time.” And then the commit- tee itemized various possible savings, par- ticularly through the adoption of the recommendations made by the Hoover Commission. The Citizen feels confident that it would prove of inestimable benefit to the country if we had not only more Byrds in the Senate but in the House also, It further believes that the government should be operated efficiently not extravagantly. The dollar means little to too many men in congress who are ready to go along with every suggestion made by the President, That old saying, “A public dollar is a pub- lie trust,” has been forgotten too often during the spending spree in Washington. While the war was under way, it was easy enough to understand the many vents of waste in public spending, but the war has been over almost four years and yet the federal government has shown no signs of. thriftiness. Let the dollar, even in its de- preciated form, do a dollar’s work for the government, and the seeming need to hike taxes will cease. 1) Mere Heteis and Apartments. & Beech end Bathing Pavilion. % Alrperte—Land and Sea. © Censelidetion of County and City Governments.
