This increase totaled $76.7 billion. We remember that the 1950 figure was an all-ti- high Who did it? Federal taxes in this period jumped from $37.8 billion to $90.3 billion. This is $52.5 billion of 138.9. State and local taxes went hog wild. In the same .period, the state increase was from $9 billion to $21.4 billion or 137.8 . On the local level, the rate of increase was even greater. The respective figures . are from $8.0 billion to $19.8 bil-lion or 147.5. We have just paid our bur-densome property taxes. We are now examining the re-ceipts for federal and state income taxes withheld during the year. Then, we are add-ing up as best we can, the continued stream of sales and excise taxes with which we are nicked every time we turn around. Every time we put our hand in our pocket, the grasp-ing fingers of the tax gath-erer are also there. Pressure groups are now voicing for huge additions to state appropriations with little apparent concern for our al ready crushing tax load. In Washington, too, the pressure is on for massive raids on the treasury. Why, then, do our political leaders not only in Washing-ton, but everywhere else con-tinue to waste our substance in such lavish and non essen-tial programs with duplica-tions, waste and pork-barr- el patronage? Billions of needed production and expansion of employment dollars are siphon-ed away.

Foreign steel United States Steel employ-ees were told today that im-ports of foreign steel to this country pose a larger threat to steelworkers' jobs in 1962 than at any time in the past. An article in the December issue of the U. S. Steel News points out that more than 4 million tons of foreign steel products are expected to be imported this year one million tons over the 1961 total. "Every pound of foreign steel purchased in America by Am-erican consumers," the employ-ee magazine says, "means few-er working hours for Ameri-can steel men, fewer dollars in their pay envelopes, fewer dollars to pay for employee benefits." The article states that "high costs (employment, taxes, etc.) which make it difficult to sell our products to customers, con-tribute to this problem and cause unemployment. Any-thing any of us do to improve our costs, products, and services," the article con-tinues, "will help us become more competitive so that cus-tomers will buy our products instead of foreign steel." The article concluded that ''this, in turn, will help to solve this problem and create more em-ployment for American steel-workers- ." The news, in another article, gives an extensive discussion on one of, the Corporation's major weapons to stem the foreign import tide. This partic-ular competitive tool is the modern newly opened 160210 plate mill at Gary, Ind. This mill, the largest of its kind in the world, specializes in mak-ing plates for such diverse pro-ducts as submarine hulls, gen-erators, heavy machinery and equipment, missile silos and launching sites, storage tanks, pressure vessels, pipelines, hulls and decks of surface ships, caissons, and curtain walls for buildings. It is right that we think of the New Year as a time of joy and happiness. It marks a new starting point in time; a chance to do new and better things. But, the start of a New Year should also be the time for serious reflection for looking backward for a moment. The old year is gone, true enough, but in its time it brought new experiences, new challenges. If we are to meet the problems Qf the New Year with deter-mination, then we should have profited from the successes and failures in the past. So, let's not only look to the future. Let's think for a moment of the past and thus put ourselves in a better posi-tion to achieve success during 1962.
