The owner has a problem he can't solve. No one person can solve it. The unified action of millions of citizens would be required. My friend's problem is high taxes. His story and his problem is one that should concern every American. Twenty years ago he made his living working flat on his back concrete on the floor of a little neighborhood garage, probing he insides of automobiles. He was a mechanic's helper. But he was ambitious. Occasionally he would buy a junk - heap car and at nights work it over mechanically. Then he'd advertise it in the paper. Each sale brought a few dollars profit. On such shoestring financing, and with a large ca pacity for work, he gradually es busi tablished a little ness. By 1940 he was making a comfortable living, had remodeled his home and was looking forward eagerly to expanding his business and employing other grease-spatter- road-wo- ed rn an persons. Can't Get Ahead.' When I visited him last week he grinned and said: "I guess I've got the small businessman's blues.' " He explained that although his business was better than ever before, and his annual gross profit larger, the problem of taxes had him "whipped." His gross profit each month for the past three years had been between $1,000 and $1,500. And yet he is not getting ahead sufficiently to give him the sought-aftfeeling of security. "Every three months," he said, "I've got to scrape up $900 to $1,000 for federal Income taxes. Taking it out of operating capital is not easy. There are only my wife and I at home, but my household expenses are just about double, in dollars, what they were four or five years ago." He pays a healthy state income tax, a number of state and fed- ly era! fees for doing business fixA has to employ an accountant to keep the various records required by the state and federal governments. In A Rut At the end of each of the last five years," he laments, "I found that my bank account had only a few hundred dollars more in it than when , the year began. And inflation more than cancelled out this gain. It's not so much the problem of making money. I could make more. I could expand my business, employ two more men and probably boost my gross profits by at least 30 per cent. I want to do this. "But in any business expansion you've got to invest capital, and there always is an element of chance. I would take the chance if it weren't for the fact that if I did boost my profit 30 percent I would then be in an income tax bracket in which I'd be working half of my time to earn money to pay taxes; and in the end I would have only a few hundred dollars more each year. It's not worth it. So I'm in a rut. Taxes and the high cost of livin? have whipped me into submission. I've no incentive for further progress." Killing Incentive Here we have an example of the killing of the very incentive that has provided the driving force in the building of America through making more jobs and producing more goods. Big government and big taxes are doing it. As I walked from my friend's place of business, I began think -- ' 'A' LEADER WANT ADS PAT ing about government's dominant place tn our lives-- In the last 30 or 40 years it has become an economic crutch for about 25 million people now directly and indirectly on government pay rolls, a powerful controlling influence in the whole social, economic, and business pattern of the nation. More and more the population is coming to be dependent on government for more and more things that used to be done by the people for themselves. MORE BENSON Let's suppose that a band of Americans felt that socialism and enslavement were Inevitable here and they picked up and moved to an Island In the Pacific to start a new nation. What kind of government would they devise on their Island? Would it oe sec up to abolish the hardships of primitive living and provide security? Or would it be a small government restricted to keeping the peace and protecting individual freedom? If they chose the latter they would be doing exactly what another group of Amer345 years ago. These icans did were the first American settlers, of Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. When they got around to forming a government its principal functions were to keep the peace, protect individual freedom and promote the general welfare. It promoted the general welfare not by taxing away incentive but by enlarging incentive. That's how America grew up. It is the key to human procradle-t- o-grave gress.
