GOVERNMENT SERVICES
MUST BE CUT BEFORE
TAXES ARE DECREASED
There is no doubt that the bur-
den of taxation has become the
over-riding domestic problem in
this country—and that this prob-
lem is deffninating the thinking of
the American people. Bulging Con-
gressional mail-bags testify to that
fact.
The reason is found in the op-
ening sentence of an unusual arti-
cle on taxation by Dr. F. A. Har-
per, which appeared in a recent
issue of The Freeman: “Taxes are
now taking your earnings for al-
most twenty minutes out of each
hour of work, if you are a typi-
cal United States citizen.” Then
Dr. Harper goes into some deep-
er aspects of the significance of
taxes—aspects which have to do
with their influence on the liberty
of the people.
He provides this definition:
“Taxes are the economic burden
we impose upon one another by
means of force through government,
in attempting tp deal with those
human differences which we refuse
to tolerate. They are the expenses
incurred when some persons try to
control or change the conduct of
other persons by means of the gov-
ernment as a monopoly agent of
force.” This matter of human dif-
ferences is the heart of that defini-
tion. If all people were alike, there
would hardly be any need for gov-
ernment at all—everyone then
woud instinctively, voluntarily and
cooperatively do what everyone
approved. But no two people are
exactly alike, either physically or
mentally, and in a great many in-
stances, as we all know, the dif-
ferences are enormous. Hence gov-
ernment—and hence taxes. ,
The problem, as Dr. Harper puts
it, is to “. . . learn how to deal
with these human differences so
that they fructify rather than ster-
ilize attainment.” That goal illus-
trates a danger that is inherent in
the institution of government—
and in the tax systems that gov-
ernment must have. For, to quote
hint again, "in competely govern-
ed society . . . everything that is
not compulsory is forbidden.” In ot-
her words, a completely authori-
tarian government knows no limit
on its powers whatsoever. These
restraints are felt everywhere, and
they apply to what is good in so-
ciety and the individual as well as
to what is bad.
Dr. Harper, of course, does not
believe that we have that kind of
government. But he does believe
we have been moving in that dir-
ection—primarily because we have
gone farther and farther, through
the agency of government, to at-
tempt to rid society of many basic
human differences, and the cost,
which is paid in taxes, has risen
correspondingly.
He traces the trend of taxation
in this country over many years.
His analysis shows that the pro-
portion of our productive effort
which has been absorbed in the
attempt to control the actions of
one another “. . . has grown fabu-
lously arid dangerously . , And
that is why taxes today take about
twenty minutes out of each hour of
work.
Dr. Harper comes to his point
with two simple but far-reaching
questions: “Has the average person
in the United States become so
much more corrupt and evil over
•he years that we must spend one-
third of our time in controlling
each other? Does the present
generation require six times as
much governing as their grandpar-
ents and great-grandparents did?’’
It is i obvious that he’ feels the
answers to these questions are No
—and that our failure to provide the
right answers is a primary reason
for our current tax problem.

The Merry Heart Club had its
final meeting of the 1956-57 fis-
cal year in the home of Mrs. O. O.
Cowsert at 2:30 P. M. on May 22nd,
1957. Mrs. Cowsert and Mrs. Car-
son Gilmer were the hostesses for
this delightful afternoon of infor-
mal entertainment.
Following the regular business
meeting in which a flew panel of
officers were elected, the program
was presented as follows:
1. “If You Ask Me” from Mc-
Calls, delivered by Mrs. John K.
Banister.
2. "Leopold Should Be Freed"
from Coronet by Mrs. S. Merlin
Davis.
3. "Life In These United States"
from Reader's Digest by Mrs. C.
V. Whitworth. This was a very
comical sketch.
4. As a complete surprise, hut
music to all our “mildewed" ears,
Mrs. Jack Whitworth rendered a
"donated’’ piano solo, “The Alp
Maid's Dream". Then Mrs. Lowell
Hankins gave a spontaneous solo
of “Without a- Song", which cli-
maxed the progran^ with a musi-
cal melodious note.
Delicious refreshments of apple
pie a-la-mode with hot coffee were
served to one guest, Mrs." Silas
Howell, and members present:
Mesdames Lowell Hankins, C. O.
Whitworth, C. V. Whitworth, Jack
Whitworth, John K. Banister, Joyce
Phillips, J. Leo Greer, Sr., S. Mer-
lin Davis and the hostesses, Mrs.
O. O. Cowsert and Mrs. Carson
Gilmer. The home was utterly
drenched in rain-kissed red and
white roses, a beautiful sight to
behold.
