Friday, October 19, 1962 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Page Five Internal Revenue Service of Government Honors Press The Internal Revenue service, taking cognizance of National Newspaper week, October 14-20, described the Nation’s press as a major force in preserving and strengthening the American self- assessment tax system. Cooperation of the nation’s press with the service reflects the in tegrity of responsible journalism. This unanimity of purpose is vital to America’s security, progress, and position as leader of the free world. Contributions made by news paper editors and publishers to greater public understanding of federal tax law have been of out standing service in the interests of the taxpayer and the government. A workable tax system, just like our Democratic system of govern ment, depends on a well-informed public. By providing timely, com plete tax information, the Nation’s press bolsters the key “voluntary compliance” feature of the federal tax structure. Press dissemination of tax information to readers na tion-wide attains a volume prob ably unequalled by any other pub lic services news category. “This cooperation with Internal Reveune, in a concerted effort to inform taxpayers of their obliga tions and to encourage compliance with these obligations, is a valu able contribution to effective tax administration,” Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Mortimer M.

But there’s also a dangerous force within. Subtle. Persist ent. Almost unperceived. It’s this nation’s steady advance toward more federal-govern- •ment'ln-business... and the accompanying effect on our individual affairs. There are many examples, but take the electric light and power business as a case in point. In 1935, the federal government produced less than one per cent of the electric industry’s total output. Today, this figure has climbed to 15 per cent. And there is constant pressure from advocates of govern ment-in-business for even more expansion. When government owns' business In this manner—when it controls economic as well as political power—it becomes almost impos sible for an individual to defend his freedoms.
