ADVERTISING VALUE HIGH
FOR LOCAL BUSIN ESS FIRMS
How valuable is local newspaper
advertising to local business? How
many times have you heard this ques
tion? Here’s what the American
Bankers magazine has to say:
“No business man or woman in any
town should allow a newspaper to go
to press without his or her name and
business being mentioned somewhere
in its columns. This does not mean
that you should have a whole, half or
even each issue a quarter page advertisement in
of the paper, but your name
and address should be mentioned if
you do not use more than a two-line
space. A stranger picking up a news¬
paper should be able to tell what
business is represented in a town . .

The possible town advertiser.
man or woman who does not ad¬
vertise does an injustice to himself or
herself and definitely to the town.”
OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
TO THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
MONITOR:
Thank you for the articles on the
Fourth “open and blatant” violation of the
Amendment threatening our
basic constitutional rights as United
Stares citizens. Particularly the one
on the editorial page, June 18, giving
urgent reference to the need to re¬
verse the decision of the United
States Supreme Court ruling allowing
government health inspectors to enter
homes without a warrant. As it so
ably inspectors stated in substance: “Once health
are allowed to search pri¬
vate homes without warrants there is
no end to a long list of other govern¬
ment right inspectors claiming the same
for equally plausible reasons
unless our constitutional rights are
strictly adhered to.”
This violation goes much deeper
than is seen at first glance. It is really
a violation of everything the Consti¬
tution represents. Our home in the
individual spiritual integrity of man is
our power. When this power is used
to preserve what is inalienable in our
existence it is proved to be the only
power. How can there be light in the
world of today if we, who have it, al¬
low our legal privileges of freedom
to be so casually annulled? The urge
is—do something now and do it ef¬
fectively!
No stone should be left unturned to
reverse this violation and every Amer¬
ican needs to make this demand upon
every one of their representatives in
Washington, including the President
of the United States. We trust men in
high Court positions, especially Supreme
justices, to be the first to de¬
fend us against the creeping intent
to destroy American fundamentals—
individual sovereignty!

Which way are taxes going?
That can be answered in one word
up—as a revealing article in U. S.
News & World Report makes abun¬
dantly clear.
typical Specifically, the magazine says, the
taxpayer will pay at least 10
per cent more this year than last. In
part, that is because average Ameri¬
can family income is higher, and so
the tax bite goes deeper. But, in addi¬
tion, tax rates are still rising on all
the government levels—federal, state
and local.
One current example is the federal
gasoline tax. It has been raised by a
cent, from three to four cents a gallon.
That may not seem like very much—
but it will take $577 million a year
more out of your pockets. And the
Federal social security tax, borne by
both employees and employers, will
rise another notch next January 1.
In sum, as the magazine puts it,
“The fact is that the tax load in this
country, is shooting already at an all-time high,
up at a record rate for
peacetime.” Then it presents a new
study ficial of our tax burdens, based on of¬
data.
The state legislatures have been
increasing taxes—on gasoline, cigar¬
ettes, ed income, etc., on an unprecedent¬
scale. Communities and counties
have pretty well followed suit, by
raising property tax rates or assess¬
ments, and by increasing their take
in other ways. So, U. S. News finds,
the nation’s total tax bill for the cur¬
rent fiscal year will come to the in¬
credible sum of $113 billion—not
counting cial another $13.3 billion of So¬
The Security taxes.
tax magazine also finds that the
increase is outrunning the popu¬
lation increase, which simply means
that per capita taxes are higher. So
the average taxpayer will find that his
total bill is about $63.01 higher this
year than last.
And that doesn’t tell the whole
story—not by a long shot. “In the
year that starts next July 1, another
sharp increase in tax collections is a
grow.” certainty if the economy continues to
For example, should the na¬
tional income increase by five per
cent—a modest expectation—in the
coming year, the tax load will shoot
up to $118 billion.
Another way to look at taxes is in
their relationship to national income.
In 1950, the total bill amounted to
just over 21 per cent of that income.
Now it has passed 25 per cent. Most of
the increase is attributable to federal
taxes, because the steeply graduated
income tax rates. U. S. New observes
that a family which doubles its in¬
come that over a period of years may find
its federal income tax has tripled,
And businesses are in a similar spot.
If a corporation grows beyond the
$25,000 profit bracket, its top federal
tax rate shoots up from 30 per cent
to 52 per cent.
the Finally, even under these conditions
federal government isn’t yet able
to make both ends meet. Due to the
high level of business activity, says
L. S. News, federal income is expected
to estimate substantially exceed the $77 billion
of last January. But spend¬
ing has exceeded estimates by a still
larger margin. Hence: “A deficit of
perhaps Treasury, half a billion dollars for the
where a small surplus had
been foreseen.”
Doing business without adver¬
tising in The Comber is likewink
ing at a girl in the dark. You
know what you are doing but no
one else does.
“There is so much good la the
worst of us and so much bad in the
