Grange Master wants federal budget tightened
BUTLER - John W. Scott,
Master of the National
Grange, last week called on
Pennsylvania Grangers L
take the lead in seeking a
Constitutional amendment
that would put federal
government spending on a
pay-as-we-go basis.
“Let’s work together to
defeat inflation and excess
government spending and
save the greatest country in
the world,” Scott told more
than 500 Grangers - young
and old - at the Youth
Banquet that featured
Wednesday’s activities at
the 106th annual Penn
sylvania State Grange
convention.
Scott warned against the
danger of continued deficit
spending, pointing out that
the national debt now is in
excess of three-quarters of a
trillion dollars,” and by the
time it is paid will cost the
American people one and
one-half trillion dollars.”
Turning his attention to
the young Grangers in the
audience, he reminded them
that “we are living in a
young people’s world. By
1960 the nation’s work force
will be made up mostly of
people 35 years of age and
under.”
But, he added, we are
putting a staggering

financial burden on their
shoulders. “We must get nd
of the pork barrel programs
that are costing us hundreds
of millions of dollars.” He
cited Social Security as one
of the programs that has
spiralled out of bounds and
the recently enacted
legislation that will increase
the cost to employees and
employers alike.
“By 1985,” he said, “it is
estimated that a person with
an annual income of $42,500
will have to pay about $3,500
a year in Social Security
taxes alone.
“Young people of today
will have to foot the bill
because the Social Security
program has been
liberalized far beyond the
original intent of the plan. It
was created to help those
who would need help in then
old age, not to become a
