quite serious, every person with
mumps should remain in bed under
a physician’s care.
The theory that a person who had
mumps on one side (involvement of
single paratoid gland) was not im-
mune on the other side has been
disproved by recent scientific know-
ledge. Immunity produced from
mumps (single gland, double gland
or many glands) is a long lasting

produce farm goods. These goods in
turn would feed the hungry and pro-
vide Jebs in factories and stores.
That won't be talked about much
because it isn’t a good spend-lend
“national defense" argument.
Some folks in Washington wonder
whether the planners had anything
to do with a constitutional amend-
ment to be voted on in Colorado in
November. This amendment would,
in effect, put a 1 per cent tax on
borrowed money.
In other words, the man who was
forced to borrow to buy a house or
for any other purpose would pay a 1
per cent penalty tax for the privilege
of being in debt.
That sounds like some Washington
schemes anyhow.
--------------o---------------
When possible economies in gov-
ernment are mentioned to the aver-
age Washington aavocate of spend-
ing, the usual answer is in the form
of a question that is supposed to be
a killer. "All right,” the spend-
without-end theorist says, “just
where would you economize? Just
what essential services of govern-
ment would you eliminate?”
This leaves out of account the fact
that nobody has mentioned cutting
out entire services. The primary
need, actually, is careful economy in
each Individual case. Thousands of
small economics—which, individually,
the bureaucrats would sneer at—
could add up to a pretty monumental
sum.
Here is a case in point:
Printing the Congressional Record
Is supposed to cost the taxpayers of
the nation about $50 a page. Any-
one who has read the Record knows
that Congressmen frequently use it
ss a sounding-board for their politi-
cal parties or for their own personal
hobbies.
Recently someone took the trouble
to check up on the amount of space
used In a single day by members of
both parties to air campaign views
ef one kind or another, and found
that It cost the taxpayers $837.50 in
one issue alone. Suppose there have
been a hundred issues of the Record
"mis year—a conservative estimate:
jhat would mean $83,750 annually.
It’s not a huge amount as political
money goes these days, but it would
pay a lot ot wages and buy a lot of
meals!
Washington’s inside planners may
not have been making newspaper
headlines frequently, but they are
as busy as termites' behind the
scenes.
They are now working on a new
spend-loan proeram for twenty BIL-
LION dollars—the biggest yet. That
is nearly half the present debt of
$44 billion.
The idea is that they will borrow
the money from the peonle and
snend it on the people. They say
that you can’t go broke borrowing
from yourself.
These planners say it’s just like a
family—one member borrows from
another, but the whole family can’t
go broke.
Other economists say they overlook
the fact that if a broke member of
fhe family borrows all the money
of his relatives, and then continues
to borrow against what his relatives
will earn in the future the breaking
point must some day be reached.
But the planners proceed. In the
last 10 years they have boosted the
public debt from $16 billion to $44
billion. They are now talking about
taking it to $75 billion. They figure
that If they talk about it enough,
thev will get the people used to it.
Furthermore the anpronriatit n and
authorization of some $15 billion for
national defense has met with public
apnroval because the nation wants
to be defended. The new $20 billion
will also be "national defense.”
Meanwhile, the planners gloss over
some essential facts. One is that
Congress is now putting the finish-
ing touches to its tenth tax bill in
the last nine years, and there will be
an eleventh next vear. This means
that since most tax bills nass about
mid-year, and apply to that year’s
income, nobody can nlan more than
six months ahead. This year there
will be about three months to plan
what should have been done the
previous nine months.
Another overlooked factor is that
spending money on tanks and trac-
tors and guns is not productive.
When the tank is completed, the
flow of money stops there. The tank
is not designed to produce but to
destroy.
If the same money were spent on
a tractor, that tractor would pull _______
plows and cultivators which would others.
