OF POWER
Americans paid nearly $60,000,000,
000 in taxes during the year ending
June 30, 1047. the total , ,
That was about 30 per of
national income for the period. In
other words, 30 cents out of every
dollar earned went to local, State or
Federal Government. The Federal
Government, of course, got the lmn s
share. Out of an average of $34 L4t>
in taxes collected for each citizen, the
Federal Government got $257.30 while
State governments collected $40.84
and local governments $40.20. illustration
Probably no better is
available of the trend during the past
few years toward centralization of
governmental authority in Washing¬
ton. The Federal Government got
more than five times as much as State
or local governments and nearly three
times as much as both combined.
It is true that the cost o? a war
just won and of a tremendous defense
force still needed all falls upon the
Government at Washington. Even
after subtracting that cost, however,
It still will be found that the central
government got more than its share.
While Georgia and other States call
for “Federal aid” to this and that,
Georgians are paying almost five
times as much in Federal taxes as
State taxes. The State Treasury m
the last fiscal year collected $108,000,
000 but nearly $500,000,000 went
, to the treasury at
from Georgia when the Federal

Government sends us back a
thousand for school lunches, for in¬
stance. we clap our hands and call it
a “gift.” There is no such thing as
a gift from the Federal Government
because it doesn’t produce anything.
All the money it has comes from tax¬
payers in the*several States, discount¬
ing the pittance collected in the Dis¬
trict of Columbia.
In Government money is power.
And the time seems to be approach¬
ing when the central government at
Washington, through its policies of
taxation, will completely subordinate
the functions of State and local gov¬
ernment. And that is the quickest
approach we know, excepting armed
force, to a dicatorial regime.-—At¬

KEEP CLEVELAND ( LEAN
The people are happy over the
opening of the Cleveland DeLuxe
Cottages Restaurant. Already many
are going out for a sumptuous meal
and the food coked by Chef Aaron
Gibbs is being widely proclaimed as
the finest they ever had.
The neon lights and the 1 4-foot
sign in front of the electric eye door
should be installed this week, which
will illuminate this swanky restau¬
rant like being on 42nd Street at
Times Square in New York City.
Mr. Gibbs is already able to serve
most any dish served in the big res¬
taurants’ in Atlanta and his cuisine
will bring a host of people regularly
to this beautiful modern restaurant.
On short notice, Chef Gibbs, who
is also manager, is able to serve a
large crowd with only the choicest
foods and the service is superb.
The leaves are fast turning, which
indicates frost is not far off. Fresh
pork and corn shuckings will then be
in order.
The price of pork is dropping very
fast.
“The public’s right to know is the
key to all their liberties.”
You can deduct your advertising
hill from your income tax, so why
shouldn’t the merchants of Cleveland
use the columns of The Courier regu¬
larly ?
For Cleveland to continue its rapid
march forward we must all put our
shoulder to the wheel of every worthy
cause and push in unison. How about
falling in line?
There’s only 70 days until Christ¬
mas. Wide-awake merchants will be¬
gin now to go after this very fine
business by advertising in every is¬
sue of The Courier. The merchants
can keep most of this business at
home if they want it. Mail order
houses will get plenty of It unless
the local merchants advertise in The
Courier.
See that your chimney and flues
are burned out before cold weather
makes its appearance.
The cost of advertising is paid by
the guy who doesn't use it . . . but
who attempts to compete with those
who do. Why does Coca-Cola spend
so much on advertising? They get
the business don’t they, and isn’t that
what every merchant wants?
When you help Cleveland grow
you are helping yourself on the road
to greater achievements. Try it and
see if it don’t make you feel much
better.
The W. O. W. Magazine of Omaha
in its October issue carried a story
of the Fourth of July celebration in
Cleveland.
Will Cleveland get an industry be¬
fore Christmas? We are calling on
you, Mr. McRae. We’ll give you the
swellest dinner you ever had if you
will put it oyer, Me.
The Editor deeply at appreciates
those who called our office this
week and renewed their subscription
to The Courier.
Only two weeks remain for Cleve¬
land to get all its progressive proj¬
ects entered in the Georgia Power
Company’s Better' Home Town pro¬
gram. Mayor Palmer is making every
effort to get some fire stimulated
among our people and is earnestly
seeking the cooperation of every citi¬
zen to capture that $1,000 for Cleve¬
land. Go to see him now and tell him
you are behind him.
Judge Herbert Edmondson made a
very fine impression on assuming his
new duties as Judge of the North¬
eastern Circuit here this week.
lie has been Judge of the City
Court of Gainesville since his dis¬
charge from the Army in August,
1945, where he has made a record as
an able and popular jurist. Prior to
his entry into service, which was long
and creditable in the Pacific, he was
Solicitor of that Court. He is affable
and has a most pleasing personality
and everyone predicts a most promis¬
ing future.
Judge Sloan has made a popular
and able judge and was well liked
by the people generally. He is re¬
entering the practice ot law in
Gainesville with his law partner, Joe
Telford.

Dewey Barton recently brought me

In 192G apples were very plentiful,
therefore very cheap. The Easter cold
spell killed nearly all the fruit crop.
There’s a good crop of persimmons.
1 ersimmons, sugar locust and dried
apples put up together and ferment¬
ed make a good beer. Some ginger¬
bread and that beer is a rarity for
supper.

A license fee of $2,500 a week is
levied by the City of Vidalia on car¬

We certainly would like to suggest
to the city officials and the County
Commissioners of Jackson county

similar restrictions. The carnival is
about the most worthless, demoral¬

take away hundreds of dollars from
