COOD RESULTS ' * Tbe following editorial from the Hhelby Star Is very timely for Herald readers as tangs Mountain aut nor I tie* are also making a drive to collect taxes due the town. We are very glad to see this effort to soiled that which belongs to the local -?^roverhm'eri C ' "iaft'flft If 1 dtl rJrtffWr pa.d their taxes, tbe burden would be lighter on all. Sotno months ago -officials of Cleveland county decided to do some tb'ng about delinquent taxes and something wan done. As a result ijore than ,941.000 In bills due the Cf.Ontv has been collected since last January. ; lliat. is * a sizeable sum and worth going after. County omeiais me *? i be commended for their work-. I Tax paying Is a strange thing. WO fhps about taxes and wait un'll the last minute to pay taxes when we kuow that without taxes we cann?A have the funds to pay for the services and business of the government It . Is not Infrequent "that a man h?'rest and honorable In all respects, i will maneuver tfntll the last minute i In an effort to eet around paying| taxes, Taxes are dobts we' owe pre- . cisely as we owe a grocery bill. a ' d a-tor's fee .Insurance premiums. Taxes -pay for services rendered us that we are unable to obtain from any other source. Yet we delay, defer. postpone and try to dodge those 1av bills whlje we pay all others. Thst sentiment Is responsible for delinquent taxes and for the delay in the payment of taxes. That attliure Is the reason for the Imposition of tax penalties. - '.^jnd so It was a necessary move on 'the part of county officials to , Tcrnd up nil those who were dellnouent In meeting tax bills. Tt was a matter of simple Justice. For It Is pot fair to require one man to pay. heeause bo will, pay volnntarilv. and sliow another to dndre payment because" he Just disliked the idea of pi' lnsr taxes.. Just how widespread that Idea is Tlyht here In Clevclnnd county Is dr n.onstrnted by the ootlecvn x-tt < 000 In tax funds slnoe last .Tnnnarv. ''"hat flense. renroafcnts quite a nrimher of Individuals who -wore still seeking to dodge. to delay. to postpons or to refuse to pay their tax h;?1* Certainly the eountv officials have the right Idea. If one must pav, all mr.st pay. tf ?:i?ps are to be collected Justly and fairly. .. A NATION OF BEGGARS There,Is notv every indication that the recent economy drive In congress was made of the same stuff of afrtoh all economy drives In recent years; have hcen made ? ballyhoo and buck passing. This la a paradoxical situation. On the surface, as recorded by numeroui polls and speeches, the public f? all for economy. But public office holders, quick to accept the views of public opinion, are extremely reluctant to.do more than talk about It. They know that demand* for eeonn my are only "skin deep" as far as 0>e public Is concerned. Their constituents' back borne, polls arid specOnes notwithstanding, still demand ffree monev" for this or that worth'flrlc protect. FJronomy Is all rich' they ?av. In effect, so long as the fet !<"w tn the next state or the next coustv hears the brunt of tt. The nex time yon are tempted to curse the politicians in Washington for not milling the drawstrings on the public purse. Just remembei this:' The average public official won't buck public opinion. There fere, untrt the public honestly, de mends economy and all of us are r?ndv tto grin and bear the resultant p'nch. the country will have no econ oiny.

It was lata In the evening when two hard-bitten gentleman, one of them carrying a professional-looking black bag, appeared at the door of Red Gold's stable and introduced themselves to the watchman as a veterinarian and his assistant. "I think you're a couple of phonier," announced the watchman. But the words were scarcely out of hie mouth when he was floored by a blow, bound and gagged.

This, the Brain Trust advisory corps reasoned, would assure its pussage because tit- relief bill was certain to pass. To this, the Congressional leaders lenders let cut another yelp. They warned that the relief bill itself was loaded with political dynamite, an?l the spending bill should be left to | stand on its own feet.
