FOR THE
Frank Sedlers To Move
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sedler, Over-
brook Read, Dallas, have sold their
home to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kap-
pler of Circle Cleaners and will
move with their daughter, Rowena
to Long Beach, Cal., travelling by
the southern route and visiting Salt
Lake City and Yellowstone Park on
the way. Rowena just recently sub-
mitted to an appendicitis operation.
The Sedlers also have two sons,
Eugene and Kenneth, both gradu-
ates of Dallas Township High
School. Eugene is stationed at Lack-
land, Texas, with the Air Force,
and Kenneth with the U.S. Navy at
Long Beach. He will be out of the
service in September.

to fall into a shocking state of dis-
repair. This condition is often dan-
gerous to life and limb, and also
creates fire hazards.
Some of our proudest municipal-
ities are limping along with obso-
lete residential and business street
lighting. Run-down parks and ath-
letic fields are all too - common
sights. Even city halls, which should
be the focal point of community
pride as well of community activity,
are often inadequate as to capacity
and down-at-the-heel in appearance.
The Increase of Taxes
When taxes on real estate and
personal property were first broach-
ed in the United States as the basis
of municipal revenue, tax dollars
were spent chiefly on streets, street
lighting, parks, athletic fields, and
buildings for the proper transaction
of public business. In more recent
years demand for public - welfare
projects financed by city govern-
ment is becoming more insistent.
Funds for their maintenance are
older and sometimes more basic
services. In some cities, protective
services are being cut. Even fire
alarm systems are not being ade-
quately maintained or extended.
I do not blame the cities entirely
for the evils which have befallen
them. I well realize that local gov-
ernments today do not receive near-
ly so large a share of our total tax
dollars as before World War IIL
Cities are feeling keenly the adverse
effects of our sharply graduated in-
come tax. The more it costs to run
the national government, the hard-
er it is for local governments to
raise needed funds. So the cities
look increasingly to federal and
state grants-in-aid to pull them
through. 1 forecast that such a
policy will prove to be very short-
sighted.
Increased central municipal con-
trol or inspection encourages waste
ahd results in a heavier over-all
city tax load. Economy alone can
which will lead to true progress;
but what are the chances for such
economies? For politicians to bribe
and to buy, votes with dollar bills
is now illegal; but these same poli-
ticians are free to “bribe” voters by
promising more aid to’ the unem-
ployed, to the aged, to mothers and
others. Much of the legislation to
“protect” plumbers, carpenters,
painters, and even barbers is merely
bribery to get the votes of these
groups. It is supposed to be enacted
to protect the public; but the public
should be made to pay directly for
such “protection.” No portion of
such increased costs for inspectors
and others should be added to taxes.
If this welfare work continues to
increase, city sales taxes are in-
evitable. .
