“The tax burden for U.S.
households averages out to $4,530
in state, local and federal levies
for fiscal year 1972, according to
the Tax Foundation. That’s up
$2OO from 1971 and is once again
an all-time high! This ac
celerating tax burden is very
nearly out-of-hand. It is
estimated that 71 per cent of the
federal budget is un
controllable —that is, it involves
spending already committed by
previous Congresses. If Congress
won’t call a halt the voters will
have to by refusing to send the
big spenders back for another
spending spree.”
The world’s longest conveyor
may soon be built if railroads
cease operations serving the
Cornbelt. Rubber belts may
move corn 225 miles from the
northwest corner of lowa to a
port on the Mississippi River,
hauling as much com in eight
hours as a 100-car train.
