GIBSON RECORD, GIBSON, GA.
HOW NOT TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.
Representative Carl Vinson, af the Sixth Georgia Distrirt,
gave his constituents an illuminating flash of the inner workings
of one congressman’s mind yesterday, when he expressed his
views on the proposed legalization of light wines and beer.
Congressman Vinson is in favor of this for several reasons,
one of which he stated as follows: * * ’ “Because with the pas
sage of each day it becomes more apparent that federal expen
ditures are outstripping income, and government credit will be
destroyed unless new sources of substantial revenue are found
speedily.”
Not a word about cutting down those expenditures, which,
as is so plainly and so painfully apparent, are “outstripping in
come.’*
No, that is not the idea at all! Expenditures, more and more.
“with each passing day,” are “outstripping income.”
And there is nothing that Can be done about it, from the av
erage lawmaker’s viewpoint, except to find more and more “new
sources of substantial revenue,” and that right speedilv.
K
ll « ht wines and l «er, so that a-heavy tax can he placed on them,
and new revenue will come in to keep up with the constantly in
creasing demands of government.
And j iere W ere, thinking that with election of a Democrat
ic President and Congress we. were going to get a “new deal!”
We thought that with the incoming of a new* administration and
new political party control something would be done about the
overlapping of countless bureaus, the extravagant expenditures
of government that are making life a burden to the taxpayers of
this country.
But we must have been mistaken. If Congressman Vinson
has spoken the sentiment of the new congress, we are not to
expect reductions in the expense of the federal government. They
will keep on “outstripping income,” and it will be the duty of
Congress to seek and to find "new sources of substantial reve
nue.”
A tax on light wines and beer may be the way to solve the
immediate necessities of the problem. The tax will be paid by
those who drink the beer and the wine, of course. And the in
come may for a time catch up with the outgo. On the other
hand Ihe outgo may keep on outstripping the income, and the
next step then will he to legalize “hard liquors” in an effort to
catch up. And then some other "new sources of substantial in
come” will have to be found. For there is little hope that the
nation is going to be able to drink itself into prosperity, any
more than that any individual has ever been able to drink him
self „into such a condition, except it he the imaginary one that
inebriation brings about.
Rut we have little fear that Congressman Vinson’s predic
jj on that “government credit will be destroyed” is a real and
preM , ng ( , anf , er> though its tulr ,ilnieu.t is not far off if enough
other congressmen hold similar views, forgetting the pressing
need of cutting down governmental expenditures instead of fol
lowing the will-o’-the-wisp of finding “new sources of substa ti
tial income” to catch up with ever-increasing federal e xpendi
lures.
We don’t believe Franklin D. Roosevelt is going into office
with any such idea. We believe his influence on the new Con
gress will he exerled for real economy, for balancing the budget
by holding expenditures within the limits of income. And we
believe that the new Democratic Congress also will have that
idea about it. We have had enough of Republican extravagance.
Now let Democracy demontrate to the nation and to the world
what real economy in government means.—Albany (Ga.) Herald.
TIME’TO ACT
In times of depression, businesses and individuals retrench.
The tendency of governments seems the other way. Between
1903 and 1928, inclusive, cost of government (local, state and
national) increased 443 per cent—from *19.30 to $105.20 per
capita. This year it is a good deal higher. The first $38,0(10,000
earned by the taxpayers of the country each working day in the
year must he turned over to government.
Without belittling Ihe services of government, it must he ad
mitted ‘that it is setting new records in inefficiency. The hureau
crat taps every pocketbook. Waste, duplication of effort, un
necessary activities, overlapping of departments, a vast army of
employes these things must be eliminated if tax burdens are to
be lowered. Some of the greatest extravagancies can be found
in almost every taxpayer’s local government. *
A decrease in cost of government w’ould do more than any
thing else to help industrial recovery. It’s time to act.

Could things be worse? Listen to an Associated Press dis
patch froni p er th, Australia, It tells how the sheep raisers of
Northwest Western Australia are destroying their sheep after
shearing because they cannot get even as much as 12 cents
apiece tor them in the market, lhey take the wool and then
destroy tile sheep to get rid of the expense of keeping the ani
mals. Things are far worse in Australia—and in many other
countries—than they are in the United States.—San Francisco
Chronicle.

Grapefruitand Vitamin C
' ■ ’HERE was a time when we
I thought that what we had to
have, If It came to first prin
ciples, was just “enough to eat."
But science has taught us differ
ently. What we have to have Is
sufficient of this and of that, espe
cially of the essential vitamin C.
When we first heard of this
vitamin as the "antiscorbutic"
vitamin, we said to ourselves.
“Well, we’re not going on long
sea voyages or Arctic expeditions
where we will have to live on
bread and salt meats, so we don’t
need protection from scurvy!’’
That is what we used to say—
now we know that for healthy
bodies, sound teeth and good
skins we simply have to have
enough of this vitamin.
That is why the report of a
study of antiscorbutic potency of
canned and fresh grapefruit,
which appeared some months ago
In The Journal of Home Econ
omics, is so Interesting. The study
was made by Grace MacLeod and
Lela Booher of the Nutritional
Laboratory of Teachers' College
of Columbia University, and led ,
to the conclusion that canned or j
fresh grapefruit has a vitamin C
potency of the same order of mag- , J
nitude as lemon or orange juice
or tomatoes, raw or canned.
Thl* Applies To Us
So, should the family get tired
of Its orange juice and lemon
juice, and look askance at toma
toes for the nonce, substitute
grapefruit It’s good, and just
as good for them.*
