Your subscription is your vote for or against the continuance of the publication of this paper. We have been sending the Record to many who are be hind in the payment of their subscriptions. When taking over the management of the paper, Jan. 1, of this year, we * asked all who were getting it and had not paid up thir subscriptions, to let us know whether to continue sending it to them, or not. Not hearing from many of them, we took it for granted that they desired to continue receiving it. We do not expect in many cases, nor do we ask in any case, that a subscriber pay us for the paper back of Jan. 1932, but naturally we do expect payment from that time by those receiving it, unless requested to stop the paper before June 1. Get a postal today, write on it, “Continue sending me the Record and I will try to pay you for it before 1933,” and w r e shall be glad to see that you do not miss a single copy.

Practically one-quar ter of the national income went to the government in 1931. The exact percentage is 22.1, as compared with J 14.4 in 1930 and 6.4 in 1913. When in a single year, the propor tion of national income consumed by taxes can rise almost eight percent, it is time for the thoughtful citizen to take action. The present, trend is plain—the United States has started on the long, dark road that Australia Germany, England and other coun tries have taken. The result, if it keeps to that road, will be the same as in those countries —industrial stag nation, steadily increasing unemploy ment, unbalanced budgets possibly impairment of credit —-and. always, even higher taxation. Government must retrench, exactyl as business and individuals havi ie trcnched the past two years. It must weed cut unnecessary departments, banish waste and duplicate, i of effort - in short, promote thorough effici en"y Present high tax»s have not resulted from the cost of legitimate governmental functions, but from the I cost of 'illegitimate functions—ven tures into the operation or regula tion of business, efforts to artificially peg prices, etc. High taxes drive capital away from business, and force it into tax free bonds. They make for hoard ing ami are thus tl e best friends of depression This tax problem is \ real problem nowadays -and every citizen must face it.
