Community Opportunity Gravely Endangered The people of Sikeston have the opportunity to obtain under very favorable conditions a new industry expected to provide employment for several hundred people, but the opportunity is gravely endangered by the lagging response to the campaign to raise funds to complete the city's part of the bargain with the government for the release of the big airport warehouse. With only approximately 60 per cent of the $75,000 required to be raised on hand, there are many potentially large investors and hundreds of smaller ones still to be heard from. If all were to respond to the appeals already made, the fund should be completed in a single day. While that event is hardly likely to occur, those active in the campaign would greatly appreciate an accelerated response. Probably there are not too many people who do not want to see Sikeston obtain another industry and more jobs for the community, and if there is organized opposition to the plan it has not been brought to light.
It is more likely that lagging response to the appeal for funds is due principally to procrastination on the part of individuals. If your failure thus far to share in this community enterprise is due fo putting off what you expect to do eventually. why not make up your mind now and act at once to help Sikeston by making at least a nominal investment in its future? You will be helping yourself, as well as your neighbor, and we believe you will never regret buying a share in your community. WHY BUDGET IS UNBALANCED If you were picking out the things that make a politician's heart leap up with joy you would place high on the list a ta.x: cut for the voters. This is especially true just before an important election which could be decided by a close vote.
Needless to say, the presidential and congressional elections next November are all-important. And many of the con tests could be very, very close. Naturally, under these circ*mstances, the Republicans' (and Democrats also) are hopeful that they can support a i legislation during the next session of Congress. Whether or not President Eisenhower is a candidate for another four years in the White House, the Republicans concede that, to recapture control of the Senate and the House of Representatives, they need to persuade a a i a ber of voters to shift their political allegiance to the (IOP. One of the best ways to appeal to voters is to cut i a es to permit them to spend or save or invest i own money instead of letting the Government spend it Cor Of course, some politicians would vote to slash taxes even if it meant plunging the nation a into debt and bringing on more inflation and cheapening the value of the dollar.
During the session of Congress the Democrats i some notable exceptions) sought to give every a a anil every dependent a $20 tax cut even a S2.400.000.- 000 deficit was in prospect and the tax cut would have reduced the Government's income by $2,300.000,000 a year. The Republicans fought the Democratic proposal, which was passed by the House but rejected bf the Republicans contended that, to protect the nation's fiscal solvency, any tax reduction must be postponed i the federal budget Was balanced or a balanced budget was i i ly in sight. A balanced budget, the Republicans explained, could be achieved only by (1) i i Government spending, principally by the Defense Department, i i a i i na- ti security, and (2) an increase in tax revenue from higher personal and business incomes resulting from the "Eisenhower prosperity." The Republicans fervently hoped that the budget could be brought into balance i fiscal year (ending :10) and a tax-cutting legislation could be recommended to the 1056 Congress. Now. this program is running into i i i It has been hoped Defense Department spending could be cut this fiscal year.
But Secretary of Defense Wilson says that, because of increased costs, it now looks as if the spending total will be 8:54,500.000.000. Admittedly, this is a serious situation for those who insist on having a balanced budget in sight considering tax reduction. And the November elections are not far off. However, the Republicans explain that the fiscal picture is not all clouds and shadows. They cite these factors 1.
Tax revenue is increasing and this could provide the Government with enough money to bring a balanced budget sight. The more people and corporations earn more taxes they pay and the more products they buy the more excise taxes the Government gets. 2. The effort to economize is continuing not onlv in the Defense Department but throughout the entire Government. Officials are being urged in.
every way possible to eliminate waste, extravagence and duplication. Whatever success is achieved will bring a balanced budget a much nearer. 3. Some members of Congress contend that there should be a substantial reduction in financial aid furnished other nations by the United States. These legislators say will nr-re the next Congress to trim foreign aid in order to help balance the U.
S. budget. Just what will be accomplished along these lines in the next few months is not. of course, known definitely now. Rut it is a safe prediction a in an election year, both Republicans and Democrats will do everything possible to woo voters by lightening their tax burdens.
