\ A .MAJOR
'national, problem
WASHINGTON. — Did you
get a grant-in-aid check from
Uncle Sam last year? The chanc-
es are you didn’t. The chances
are you paid a healthy slice of
your income to the Federal
government in taxes and receiv-
ed no grant of any kind. But .in
your state there was some Fede
ral money paid, in subsidies,
veterans benefits, welfare assis-
tance, old age payments, and to
the state government for high-
way construction, hydroelectric
dams, etc.
The trouble is that for every
$100 you and the people of your
the amount each of us, * th ,tn **7® at 9:45 A. M.)'

state sent to Washington in
taxes, only $6.52 (on the aver-
age) came back. This wouldn’t
be bad If there weren’t so many
billions going to Washington
and if _______________
sends in to Uncle SaidT weren’t
such a big part of our total in-
come. In fiscal 1951, the 48
states and Hawaii sent $65^ bil-
lion to Washington and got back
in “Federal aid” only $4.2 bil-
lion. This Federal tax is such a
big percentage of our combined
income that we’re finding it
almost impossible to raise
enough local taxes to adequate-
ly operate the essential services
of' our own state and local
governments.
Run to Washington
That’s true all over America.
We’re being drained of our tax-
paying potential by Washing-
ton. And thus we’re tempted
more and more to run to Wash-
ington for the performance of
services we should be doing for
ourselves aa Individuals or
through our local governments^
The more we'do this the more
Centralized oyr government be-
comes, the more power it has,
and the less freedom we have.
President Eisenhower clearly
recognizes* this danger and he Is
determined • to do something
about It. The President wants
to turn the trend from centra-
lised government. He has just
asked Congress to create a com-
mission to thoroughly study the
present abnormal relationship
between Federal, state and local
governments as regards respon-
sibilities, tax sources and grants-’
in-aid. He told Congress the
present situation is a “major
national problem.” , I
The Biggest Threat
His message to Congress was
but a restatement of his declara-
tion made three years ago while
President of Columbia Univerl
[slty and when he apparently
had no thought of running for
the presidency. “I firmly be-
lieve,” he said at that time,
“that the army of pieople in
America urging greater and
greater and centralization of
government and greater depend-
ence upon the federal treasury
constitute a greater threat to
this government than any
combination of foreign forces
that may be arrayed against us.”
It has been-my privilege re-
cently to work with a national I
organization dedicated to elimi-
nating this threat by stimulat-
ing self-heliancfeat the grass-

communities, then by ' handing
back part of, the monea In
effect," w he
SSf^f^Sb^tlally to but
the states on a federal dole with
resultant steady loss of sover-
eignty.” JChe Council cohtends
that federal economy must be-'
gin at home.
Its formal t objectives | are:
(1) To encourage more respons-
ibility and self-reliance in local
communities and the states;
(2) to check the tide toward
centralization of power in the
federal government; (3) tq re-
duce pressure upon Congress
exerted by communities to ob-
tain Federal aid for local im-
provement projects; and(4) to
urge greater economy in gov-
ernment spending. In his an-
nounced polices and In recom-
mending creation of a com-
mission to study the Federal-
state-local division of tax sourc-
es and responsibilities, Presi-
dent Elsenhower recognizes the
problem. Its root cause can only
be' removed, however, by a re-
birth of the great American
spirit of self-reliance — from
the grass-roots up!
