Quite a few1 miBkut know where the tax dollar came from and are impressed day by day how it comes, but they don’t seem to know too much about bow it is spent. Many want to know something a bout the “How” of spending. Otf course there is a definite trefid to‘funnel the big money into the bands of the few, a practice common to the Republican Party since its inception. The chart says that 56 cents of each dollar goes for: major na tional security, mMtary, military assistance, atomic energy and stockpiling. Twelve cents goes for interest, eight for agriculture, six roughest terrain in Eastern A merica. One doesn’t think, of fly ing “through” terrain, but what word better expresses it when your plane is zooming between mountain peaks? NOTES . . . Fayetteville, home of the new Methodist College, is drag ging its feet on contributions. Frank Jeter, Jr., executive secretary of the Foundation, has sent out a worried letter which says in part: “Up to now, people in this area have paid slightly over half the money they pledged, leaving us with a 1950 deficit <yf almost $500, 000. Meanwhile, people of the Methodist Conference of N. C. are paying on time. You might say they are doing more to give us a college than we are doing for our selves ...” f#r veterans and sixteen cents for all others. There are more tins covered un der major national security than could be packed under a circus tent.

Under National Security, they call surplusses of metals and other materials, stockpiling, in agricul ture, stockpiling, if you please, is called surplus and is painted as a red-bearded deoil who so many are toM is costing the taxpayers more money than everything and every body else in Washington are cost ing. In short the big boys are dur ing hberally in the 58 cents, phis 12 cents in interest and bellyaching about the crumbs dropped on the Boor for agriculture. That’s roughly the budget pic ture, but the picture behind the budget stands out in bold relief in such moves in the adminirtnatioa to lower farm commodity prices, raise interest rates, clean out the pockets of the many little folks and put everything into the pockets of the few.
