LET'S TACKLE 1938! ^ In facing 1938 the individual would be extremely foolish not to take some stock of conditions as they are, and mnlro plans to rearrange his life and living habits to fit in with new cir cumstances. To be pessimistic, or whine about what might have been, is absured. To realize that every year brings a new opportunity if people take ad vantage of it is not only cheerful, but the truth. What we need today is not, per haps, more money, but maybe more courage, more faith and more de termination to work out and upwards. It can be done. Certainly, our fore fathers faced greater odds, but they f >oght, and they won. Their de scendants can be no less heroic in the present time. The Enterprise facing its own fu ture with full realization of what is ahead, has faith in the people of this country. To all of them it sends greetings, with the wish that each one will be able to surmount the ob stacles that seem to be difficult, and that, when 1938 has ended, we will be able to join in saying, truthfully, we "have fought a good fight." BE HONEST ABOUT TAXES Society, as we know it, could not be perpetuated without government. Whether it is the best, the best pos sible, or only fair, the continuance of peaceable lives, the carrying on of farming, business, and commerce, or any of the hundred and one neces sary modern activities require law and order, established processes, pro tective safeguards, and the coopera tion only possible through govern ment Regardless of some waste, and it can't be entirely avoided, still the fact remains that the average citi zen gets more for his dollars paid in taxes than for any other expendi ture he makes. The average family head doesn't pay as much taxes as his children cost the government for their education, if he has a moderate sized family. All the rest of the benefits from government he gets beyond that! Government can't operate without some money, and taxes are necessary. Every citizen should be willing to pay his proportionate sare of the common cost of these beneficial ser vices. The growing disposition on the part of many to "beat taxes" should be frowned upon. It is a little hard to grasp how on otherwise honest, upright man can defend in his conscience, for example, a suc cessful subterfuge, or deceit, to cheat the government out of income, or other taxes. On the other hand, every effort should be made by tax officials to equalize taxes, that is to see that every citizen is fairly treated, that he is not called on to pay proportionately more or leas than his neighbors have to do. r Yet, cht task of perfect equalisation is hard to accomplish, just as hard to maintain after its ac complishment, in view of the chang ing factors involved. Notwithstanding the many cen-1 turies daring which various govern ments have collected taxes, the prob lem still calls for the thought and effort of good citizens. RADIO'S UNDISPUTED PLACE We have no idea that the radio wilt ewer supplant newspapers bat that the ether waves serve a public purpose cannot be denied. Examples of the utility of broad casting, which enables a speaker to contact mSHona of the same time, indnda the President's fireside chats the political addresses and such events as the message of Justice Bteek sons time ago. That the raido gives the speaker and listener a sense of personal con tact unavailable in the printed words ot a speech is not to he denied. That newspopspcfr, however, afford oppor tunity to digest the utterances of public it. when their are priatsdb is an advantage for the T s4#tion? the newspapers have . developed the interpretative feature thai? strength, perhaps, but also their ft?t0 rbflwct ox ft hcwsyepvi u?p?hus ?? -a**** ?wulp?" vllnji qyeBHUM w un ;tv ' to ? . ? . that effect, he gave expression to what many public men think. The* do not want their utterances abbre viated, garbled or unaaspkioualy pre sented and, particularly, they are wary of the headlines that unduly play-up excerps in sensational form. They do not dispute dishonesty in the news so much as their fear parti san editing of biased journalists. ! The really worth-while newspaper in any community, whether a metro politan area or a country town, at tempts to give all public men fair play in their news columns. Whether the reader believes it or not, most of 'them do not intentionally, in head lines or otherwise, take advantage of their readers or their adversities. However, journalists, like other peo ple, have' the usual frailties of hu man beings and sometimes, even with ; highest ideals, they make mistakes. FOUNTAIN NEWS; (Br MRS. M. P.

W. Lane, Jr. Farm Program Helps To Stabilize Prices t " (Note: This is the fifth in a series of articles in which two far mers discuss the agricultural con servation program.) John Brown: "Under the program, they don't want you to go over your soil-depleting goal, but they do want you to plant all the acreage of soil- j depleting crops that are allowed in your goal." Bill Smith: "Why?" Brown: "If we don't plant enough cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat and the like, there won't be enough to sup ply the demand. That will make prices go up too high. "That will be hard on the con sumer, "and it will mean that this couuntry will have to spend money to buy agricultural commodities from other countries. "In other words, the United States will be sending money abroad to buy crops that we farmers here should be growing and selling." Smith: "You're right. I hadn't thought about that We don't want to go hungry here, and we want to keep our money at home." Brown: "And if we grow too much, we will be wasting a lot of hard work, and wasting our land too. But we don't want to wear out our soil growing a lot of stuff no body will buy at a decent price." Smith: "I've had enough of that Look what I've done to my land. It's plumb worn out in places. And I haven't made a decent living in years." Brown: "But if we stick by the program, production will be kept in tine with demand, prices will be at a fair level, and we will have a chance to take care of our land like we mght to." Smith: "That's what we've been :eod!ng for years. rWe'd be a lot better off today if this program had been started a long time ago." - ?> .r: ?
