Slowly at first, but with ever-increasing rapidity we find our daily lives restricted and our pocket books raided by the government that was supposed to be our servant, ser-vant, not our master. More than 200 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, In-dependence, a big government, now headquartered in Washington instead of London, is again intent on taking over our lives. Free enterprise is being destroyed, personal freedom is severely limited. Spurred by inflation, in-flation, regulation and government waste, taxes take an increasing share of our income! An army bureaucrats, unelected and unresponsive to us, control more and more of our daily lives at our expense-government without representation. Local government has once again become weak, and in too many instances is nearly bankrupt; power has shifted to Washington and Washington has become as hard-of-hearing as London in 1776. The result is a government govern-ment so expensive that most people work from January to mid-June each year just to pay local, state and federal taxes. Nevertheless, those taxes do not cover the costs and governments go into debt to such an extent that even if all of us sold LIQUID Pa PER Manilla FILE FOLDERS THIdO cut START THE KEW YEAR 1979 CALENDARS -, DESK STYLE Ml! in iilTlir STODI HOURS Monday Thru Saturday 0 OO a m la 6 00 p m WAHIHOUSI HOUHS 00 a,m la 6 OO p m o commemit everything we own and gave the proceeds to the government, the proceeds would not liquidate all indebtedness. in-debtedness. Of course, to pay its debt, the central government has regularly "stolen" from its citizens by inflating the currency, so the dollar you had forty years ago is worth less than 18 cent today. If the government continues to grow at the rate it has for the past few years, by the year 2000 taxes will claim more than 60 percent of what we earn while inflation further erodes the purchasing pur-chasing power of our dollars. The danger is not merely economic. Incentive, In-centive, productivity, personal choice of work, of education, of literature and beliefs, and ownership owner-ship of private property all disappear when government confiscates that much of a citizen's wealth. Personal freedom and economic freedom are inseparable. Like the founders of our country, the people of this generation will be roused to action by the realization that their personal freedoms are being denied. They will not publish a new Declaration of Independence, In-dependence, but will insist upon a return to the principles of 1776 as the basis for all actions, individual in-dividual and governmental. govern-mental. A specific program for putting representation back in government should include the following: Limit the terms of all elected of LIQUID PAPER 78 eo. .9oo Ooi.

Enact "sunset" laws to require review of all government programs and bureaus every four years. Limit taxing authority of government to a fixed percentage of state or national income. Place a spending limit on the federal budget to be based on percent of gross national product or some similar criteria. Apply cost-benefit analysis to all legislation before it becomes law. Institute regional testing of all new government programs before they are widely implemented. Decentralize Decen-tralize taxing authority to state and local level and make it subject to approval ap-proval of the electorate. Establish zero budgeting procedures at all levels of government.

Most proposed tax plans look to be temporary appeasement measures. The proposed dropping of the food tax was done in some other states and some said groceries were raised and heavier taxes were imposed elsewhere. Giving us '. poor taxpayers tax-payers a rebate is a very temporary appeasement measure, with no guarantee of any worthwhile wor-thwhile tax cut or for any length of time. Taking the tax off homes would be great, but paying a reasonable amount shows we have some property rights. Also this would not help many of the poor who rent. Would not the extra tax be put on private industry forcing manv out and raising prices substantially sub-stantially on all we buy? However, a Constitutional Con-stitutional ammendment is before our Legislature to limit spending within reason and thereby limit taxing. (The only way we are going to keep taxes down.) This would be a more lasting and worthwhile wor-thwhile tax cut. Please call your local State Legislators and ask them to vote for HJR-4 real soon. Don't leave it up to others. Taxes are important im-portant to you. It. Harmison Perkins completes Infantry school at Ft. Benning, Ga. 2nd Lt. Roger L. Perkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn L. Perkins, 642 E.

We never saw its cold, hard side until we realized that among its lovely pine trees lay torn steel and fiber wrenched in anger against our mountain. The cold wet snow hurling itself aeainst the small plane and its occupants. Five lovely persons gone the way of all the earth. Noone realized how large our Mountain was until the large helicopters looked like toys against her majestic peaks as the wreckage was found and the bodies recovered.
