If thats your situation, said the Citizens Public Expenditure Survey, you work all day Monday and until 1:45 p.m. Tuesday without making any money for yourself. The money you earn in that time all goes to the government in taxes. If you earn more than $4,500 a year the amount of your time given to the tax collector rapidly and progressively increases.

Its commonly said and believed that defense costs are almost solely responsible for the present burden of taxation and the size of the federal budgets.

Most of the nation last Friday observed Veterans Day, a day set aside to honor veterans of all wars in which the United States had been involved. Most of the nation, that is, except the city of Price which did not even put forth enough effort to display a single flag along its Main Street.

Whomever is responsible for such things slipped up in his duty, to say the least. What was more aggravating was the fact that all day Friday city employees were engaged in installing the Christmas season decorations. We can understand that this is quite a task but the action brought us to the horrible realization, and we are sure others felt the same way, that the WAS so-call- ed almighty dollar seems to have displaced our moral obligations to those who fought and in and for Price died for their country of the conflicts the past.
