“Security” minded American
citizens who have been sold the
hoax that government can give
them something for nothing are
voting American freedom out
of existence. Obviously, the free-
dom of those of us who realize
the ultimate and tragic end of
welfare-state government is go-
ing down the drain with that of
these deluded millions.
In his radio broadcast of Feb-
ruary 14, 1960 Dean Clarence
Manion pointed out that, for the
final fiscal year of his adminis-
tration, President Eisenhower
proposed the highest peacetime
budget in our history and that
every dollar of these increased
billions of federal government
spending represents an expan-
sion of government power over
the lives and property of the
American people. Furthermore,
it represents a proportionate
shrinkage in the authority and
tax resources of state and local
governments. Most of it is called
"federal aid.” Dean Manion
pointed out the alarming fact
that the 1959 federal aid figure
was one-half billion ddltsra more
than the federal government
spent for all purposes in 1940.
How did the so-called oppo-
sition party in Congress react
to President Eisenhower’s fan-
tastic budget proposals? They
demanded more welfare-state
spending than the President
proposed. Thus the wildest-
spending President in American
history becomes the “economy”
man, because the opposition
party wants to spend much
more of your hard-earned tax
dollars and expand government
power os er your lives even more

Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-
Ariz.) is one of the most out-
spoken advocates in Congress
for the conviction that the
federal government should <
not try to regulate the Ameri-
can economy.
This view is generally held
throughout American indus-
• try.
During Senate debate on in-
creasing the minimum wage,
Goldwater told his colleagues
that if we could “release the
full strength” of the free en-
terprise system in the United
States, we would “do more to
combat unemployment and
bring about higher wages,
higher profits, and better liv-
ing conditions in one year
than any government can ever
do in its entire history.”
“We are foolishly playing
with dynamite,” he asserted,
“when we inject the federal
government further and fur-
ther into our daily lives.
“On the contrary,” he said,
“we must exert our efforts to
create sound fiscal and mone-
tary policies and establish a
climate conducive to economic
growth.”
“We believe that high
wages which result from in-
creased productivity have pro-
vided Americans with the
world’s highest living stand-
ards,” Goldwater added.
“But high wages estab-
lished by government fiat—
and not accompanied by an
increase in output—can only
result in economic disaster for
all of us.”
than the President does. Their
policies would cause an even
greater shrinkage in the author-
ity and tax resources of local
and state governments.
These irresponsible politicians
who buy votes by promising
gullible voters all sort of hand-
outs never mention the im-
portant question, “where Will
we get the money?” They don’t
tell deceived voters that it can
come only from them and their
fellow taxpayers. These unscru-
pulous, power-hungry spenders
do not tell the people that our
government is spending more
money now than it takes in and
that the interest on the national
debt albne is over $9 billion
which is more than the entire
federal budget was about 20
years ago.
Unprincipled, socialistic-mind-
ed politicians have spread across
America a myth that most of
our taxes are paid by the rich.
The opportunist politicians do
not tell them that it is impossi-
ble to run our extravagant gov-
ernment by soaking the rich. If
everything the rich had were
confiscated it would not bp
enough to run the government
a half year. 84 per cent of the
money the federal government
collects from the individual in-
come tax comes from the lowest
income bracket of taxpayers be-
cause there are so many more
of them. Americans need to
know these important facts and
realize how the political spend-
ers are deceiving them.

One of the most important issues of the day was
completely overlooked by the 86th Congress. This
issue is the urgent need to reform the federal income
tax rates which are crippling the nation's economic
growth.
Economic growth currently is a much used and
little understood term. Actually it means increasing
the gross national product—the total of all goods
and services produced in America. Economic growth
means building more businesses, more jobs, more
goods, more services.
If you’re going to build a business, you must have
capital. To get capital, you must have savings—either
your’s or someone else’s. That’s where high tax rates
hurt. They make it hard to save up money to invest,
and they make investing unattractive to those who do
manage to build up some savings. Why should people
put money into a business when they know that if the
business fails they will lose their investment and if it
succeeds the government will tax away most of the
profits?
This is how high tax rates drain off and bottle up
the investment funds needed for economic growth.
Now, while our congressmen and presidential candi-
dates are campaigning for election, is a good time to
ask them what they intend to do about reforming
income tax rates in the next session of Congress.

TEXAS LAWMEN C
Charles Goodnight, Empire Builder
"lave and let live.. except cattle thieves '”
Back in the stalwart seventies cattle herds and cattle thieves were the fastest growing
crops in Texas. Then Charles Goodnight declared war on the latter and, with aotne
like-minded friends, organized the Panhandle Stockmen's Association. Those of
the bandit brotherhood who didn't hit the trail ora were soon decently interred,
one by one.
Goodnight was always a cattleman and only incidentally a lawman, but he served
Texas well. Born in Illinois, 1836, his 21st birthday found him in Palo Pinto
County, a Texas Ranger and Indian Scout, and starting his first herd. By 1865 ,
he had more cows than he could sell thereabouts, so he and a friend, Oliver Loving, <
drove them to New Mexico. The route they marked became the well-worn
Goodnight-Loving Trail. By 1877 he and a partner, John G. Adair, established*
the JA Ranch and in time ran a hundred thousand cows on a million Panhandle
acres. There they introduced Hereford bulls and developed one of the nation’s finest
herds. He also developed the catulo, breeding buffalo to Polled Angus cattle.
After 93 colorful, active, year* Charles Goodnight died in 1929.
