The toabove flow from ages are predicted 80 percent to 90 percent of the average. A record low anowpack in the central part of the state indicates When George Washington was President he had a problem that he wouldnt have today. He headed a group of states and citizens who were so independent they were down right unruly. Under his leadership they had thrown off an oppressive government and most of. them were perfectly happy to tend to their own affairs with no help or interference from the new U. S. government. Washington and several of. his succesors had to work long and hard to persuade those early Americans to give up a few local rights and powers in order to strengthen the in fant nation. Many of today s descendants ,of those rugged independents are willing enough to turn over local rights and powers to the federal government if it will take over their loca problems. They accept high taxes as a matter of course. But in exchange they seem to expect that federal bureaucrats will somehow magically see that everyone has a good job, good pay, good home, good roads, good education, gooc health and carefree old age. Washingtons problem was to get the people to support the government. We doubt if it evel crossed his mind that a day might come when the people would expect the government to support them. II Could Ba A Much Happier Birthday The U, S. income tax will be 47 years old today Feb. 25. Does anyone want to sing Happy Birthday to celebrate the joy' ous occasion? When it was bom in 1913, few people foresaw how the tax would grow. It started with a nibble of one to six per cent. Now it gobbles 20 to 91 per cent. The result has been to eat up savings and capital and stunt the growth of the national economy. A way to curb the damage has been suggested by Congressmen Howard Baker of Tennessee and A. S. Herlong of Florida, with the backing of five other Representatives from Indi ana, Texas and Tennessee. They are sponsoring legislation to reduce the income tax rate in every bracket Their proposal would ease the bite on all taxpayers. In addition, they predict the lower rates would spur economic growth which soon would put tax revenues back at their present level or even higher. wish Congress would observe the 47th - W birthday of the income tax by adopting the Herlong-Ba- ker bills. It woult mark the birth of a better day for taxpayers, and for the economy. - 45 Enclosed herewith is my renewal check for the Southern Utah News.
