Root Of The Matter
By CHARLES DENSFORD
Welfare, Our Frankenstein Monsfer
Pari I
President Nixon’s new pro-
gram for public assistance to
the needy is stirring up de-
bate. Some say his plan will
cost more than the extrava-
gant hodge-podge which he
inherited from the vote-hun-
gry Johnson Administration.
Some say Mr. Nixon is mov-
ing leftward, departing from
the conservative stance he was
expected to maintain. Some
say he is cynically imitating
the Democrat vote - seeking
ploys, merely putting new la-
bels on old packages.
Some say lie is setting out
to re-structure the whole sor-
ry welfare mess that has been
dumped in his lap, trying to
make it make sense. Maybe
he can do it, but I doubt
it, because the basic prem-
ise behind It all is erroneous.
That premise is that govern-
ment is obligated to support
those who cannot or will not
support themselves through
tax money taken from those
who do support themselves.
Nobody seems to be con-
sidering the fundamental
proposition that government
should not be in the charity
business in the first place.
Let’s lay it out in this col-
umn and see whether we can
get “to the ROOT OF THE
MATTER.
Government management of
charity is inefficient.. Too
many people are hired and
they accomplish less than they
should do. The only thing that
works overtime is Parkin-
son’s Laws. Bureaucrats tend
to concentrate their attention
on getting and keeping jobs
and drawing higher pay. Ded-
ication to accomplishment of
the program’s aims takes sec-
ond place.
The taxpayer gets less for
his money when government
dispenses it. This is partic-
ularly evident when Washing-
ton collects the money, sub-
tracts the costs of collect-
ing and dispensing it, then
allocates it to the states for
distribution to the ultimate
recipients. Somewhere in all
that traveling anil handling,
as niuclp as 70’, of it dis-
appears.
fax-supported welfare pro-
grams lack the voluntary fea-
ture that ought to be pres-
ent in charity. The citizen
who gives to charity should
have the privilege of decid-
ing how much he can afford
to give and bow and where
it should be applied, if bis
money Is not managed to suit
him, he should he privileged
to withdraw his patronage.
But under government-man-
aged charity programs, the
taxpayer does not have those

privileges. He is told how-
much he shall give, and lie
must cough it up or go to
jail. Decisions as to where and
how the money shall be spent
are made by bureaucrats who
couldn’t care less what the
donor thinks or wants.
The money is often used
for projects to which the tax-
payer is opposed on principle.
The Jew may object to having
his money given to a Mos-
lem, or vice versa, but nei-
ther can refuse the tax col-
lector. The Catholic may pre-
fer not to simport the Prot-
estant, and vice versa, but
when tax money is used, nei-
ther has a choice,
I object h>‘ paying for the
support of illegitimate pro-
geny when the production'of
them has become a business.
I am willing to contribute to
the support of the result of
one mistake, but wjjfcn a sec-
ond one appears, that is no
longer a mistake. If I had
a choice in the matter, I
would withdraw my support
unless effective measures
were taken to stop illicit pro-
duction, such as sterilization
of the female who repeatedly
gives birth out of wedlock.
I object to paying for the
sustenance of the poor when
thetr church takes those same
pennies from them to finance
lavish displays of pomp and
pageantry in honor of a Prince
of the Church.
I object to paying for a
handout to a man who drives
up in a Cadillac to collect It.
I object to paying for a
guaranteed annual income for
people who use the money to
buy TVs and bars.
But so far, none of the doz-
ens of overlapping state and
federal welfare agencies have
consulted me about how to dis-
pose of my tax money, (con-
cluded next week).

ARTS AND CRAFTS FAIRS FOR HIGHLAND LAKES
