TAX TALK An estimated $2 billion surplus for the current fiscal year, forecast by the staff of the Joint Economic Committee, has kicked off a new wave talk no Capitol Hill. of Republicans and Democrats are dusting off their old tax reduction proposals and coming up with new ones. Actually, some members have indicated their belief that the growth in revenues will be such as to provide a surplus in the fiscal year 1956 of as much as $4 billion with an even higher surplus in the fiscal year beginning July 1. Most of this talk centers around the next fiscal year not this and is based on continuation of the present growth in revenues., . . .

Only in his editorial column he refers to him as the publisher and this is one time the boss didnt have anything to do with it To keep their organization strong, the Navajo Trails group made peace with this noisy man from Monticello by panting concessions to him. But we still believe this Roe has been thinking in terms of seeing the oil field traffic move north rather than east to Cortez. Incidentally, we are well pleased Many thanks for the with the Navajo Trail Groups concessions. However, we are at a loss to understand your charges regarding the oil and gas industry. We were under the impression from recent widely circulated Colorado news releases and publicity strips that the aforementioned oil and gas field was well within the city limits of Cortez. The Ed boo-ket- Operation Bootstrap Optimism as defined by Webster is a "belief that everything will turn out for the best. Logic, on the other hand, is the "science of reasoning." At no time are the two synonymous, but each in its own right is a vital part of progress whether it be in the field of industry, arts or science. Yet, too much of one invariably unbalances a normal trend. Today this area is faced with problems far more complex than any in its previous history. Problems enhanced by decadence, greed and complacency, among other things, and the insatiable "belief that everything will turn out for the best irrespective of mitigating circumstances or logical reasoning. The spawn of these inequities is on the verge of giving birth to one of the most devastating recessions this area has ever known, unless a concerted effort is made to induce new business and new money into the area. t Here are a few unvarnished facts that are by no means encourag- ing: In the past sixty days controls on leriding institutions have tightened almost to the point that business can no longer depend on previous easy borrowing to offest expanding credit business. And within the next ninety days curbs on banks and other lending agencies will be to the point that no business can afford to operate on credit and remain solvent unless additional and sufficient money is .encouraged into the area to offset the already shaky credit economy. Without accessible .money, whether through lending institutions or additional business, no expanding area can withstand the transition from a fluctuating economy to a basically sound and normal leveL And if speculated additional controls are imposed on lending within the next ninety days, few businesses operating on expanded credit, (and most of these are far above the safe percentage level), could withstand from its source of necessary operating capithe shock of being cut-of- f tal. It's a vicious cycle that could spell doom to over seventy-fiv- e percent of the businesses in the area. And make no mistake that the remaining twenty-fiv- e percent wouldnt be materially affected if such were the case.

Chamber of Commerce members and allied civic organizations to our own "operation bootstrap is in order and essential if we are to continue any degree of orderly and healthy expansion.

This is the time when we should especially be thankful for this productive land we live in. We are told that the earth belongs to the Lord and that we are only Stewards of it. If we do not use this land wisely and prevent destruction of it we are not fulfilling our obligation to the Lord. A man must maintain a decent standard of living for his family and fulfill community obligation. At the same time he must accept the responsibility to enrich the soil he tills for the utilization of future generations. Our - DOVE CREEK STATE BANK MEMBER FJU.C.
