Joy, Act “SOIL IS SACRED” Our American forebearers were people of the land. They lived close to the soil. They un- derstood the miracles of nature and her inex- orable laws. They held a deep religious faith that supported them in adversity to an extent beyond the comprehension of many living in the carbon-monoxide fumes of cities. Those who drive through the countryside nowdays profaning the beauties of nature by tossing beer bottles and papers along the roadside and who think of necessities solely in terms of the nearest store counter or show window, would do weli to spend a few min- utes contemplating ‘the words of Rev. Louis Deuster of Muenster, Texas: “In modern life, we too need a reasonable abundance of the good things of the earth in order to carry out a proper religious program for families and communiiies. Tlaat is why it is not saying too much to declare that ‘soil is sacred.” The things we reap from the soil become our means of developing our churches, our schools, our community resources. Without these, our children could not be properly brcaght into the world, reared, and educated. Christianily would fail of a great part of its mission if material resources ‘in due abun- dance’ were .acking. “We therefore please God when we take good care of the soil and its resources entrust edfous....” * * * ON BALANCED BUDGET More and more people seem to be coming to the conclus.ca that one of the best ways to help balance the budget to start reducing the national debt, and to make eventual tax re- duction for er/erprise and individuals possible, is to get the governmeni out of commercial business. Former Defense Mobilizer Wilson started the ball rolling months ago, in a speech that aroused great national interest. Herbert Hoover advoccled a similar policy in a nationolly broadcast major address, in which he stressed the case for disposing of government-owned electric power plants and related facilities. Bills have been introduced in Congress proposing s'udies and investiga- ions to find ways of relurning government commercial operations to private ownership, and to protect the public's investment in them. A House sub-committee is studyirg federal competition with privcle business and the re- sultant loss of tax revenues. As interesting recent development is found in a plan offered by the Cleveland Caamber of Commerce. It points out that taxes have, now reached the point of diminishing return, and that government borrowing to cover de- ficits would crecite still more inflation. It | ments these views with a recital of facis.] Federal taxes are now at an ali-time high, and | have actually increased 3.000 per cent since 1933.

She reached for the plate and took a penny from it. The usher grabbed her by the arm. “] beg your pardon,” he said, “what was the point of rushing in, dropping a penny on the plate, then removing it from the plate and rushing out?”’ “Wrong church,” she explained. * * x Overheard on a bus to E-town “Daddy, did grandpa spank you when you were a little boy?” “He sure did!” “And did great-grandpa when he was «a litil2 boy?” “He certair.y did!” spank grandpa “Well, don't you think that with a little co-| money supply in relation to the supply of operation from me we can over-come this in- goods, has made heavy inroads into the liv- herited sadism?” ing steradards of many and the savings of all.

There- fore, the plan states, “Like any other business or orgamization which has been over-extended through bad management and spending, the new management date the overextended operations.” 3 goes on to point out tha’ government is competing with private business in some 100 separate fields of activity. These include pow- must liqui- er and aluminum plants, synthetic rubber fac- 1.

Others would take considerable time to dispose of. because of various complications—in such cases, the Chamber, their operations should be up on a stricily seli-supporting basis that would eliminate tax losses and further drains on the Treasury. The larger part of the liquidation. it forcasts, could be accomplished within six or seven years. In conclusion, points to four ways in which the sales of these businesses would benefit the pubiic. First, pro- "ceeds would assist in balancing the budget & reducing the debt. Second, they would make possible tax reduction in the future.
